Create custom templates in Google Docs.
i would like to be able to create custom templates in google docs. what i have been doing to date is making a copy of existing documents and then modifying them but it always creates a mess in the files etc. i would like an easy way to create specific template files that can't be modified and would save as a new document by default.
this is a major missing feature in google docs but otherwise there's great potential. not much in terms of improvement going on though.

Inappropriate?This is the one feature that is holding me back from using Docs full time, and the only reason I still have Word.

Inappropriate?I have a good news for you, look here:
Submitting a template to your domain template gallery
http://docs.google.com/support/bin/an...
Note: this feature is available in Google Apps Premier and Education Editions (not Standard Edition). If you have a standard domain, you can submit templates to the public gallery by signing in with your personal Google Account.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Templates for your domain is a big step in the right direction. If only you could disable the ability to create templates for custom users, so that only admins can create and maintain templates.
Everybody should still be able to rate templates, but imagine how many templates (/versions of one specific template) you would end up with in an org with thousands of users.
So please... make it optional in the admin panel, to enable/disable new templates from users!
