Abstract-This technical report describes the OpenOffice template available for creating CAIA Technical Reports
Keywords- Information, Reports, CAIA
I.	    Introduction
CAIA Technical Reports that are not slide presentations or web pages should use this Open Office template. All text content must be assigned the “Default” style (from the styles pull-down menu).
II.	    A section heading using "heading 1" style
A.	 A sub-section heading, "Heading 2" style
Section headings use the “Heading 1” style, and are numbered. Sub-section headings use “Heading 2” style, and have lettering.
B.	 Another sub-section heading
You should have an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction in all reports. The Introduction summarizes the key background/motive for the work and the results that make this work worth reading. The introduction does NOT go into details of methodology, literature reviews, or any other lengthy discussion.
The guts of your report is a series of “Heading 1” sections, broken into “Heading 2” sub-sections as required for clarity. Remember that the goal is to educate the readers about what you found and why it is important. A good research report not only documents how the results were obtained it discusses the  weaknesses and limitations of the data acquisition and analysis methods.
III.	Figures and Diagrams
Figures and diagrams are painful at the best of times, especially with WYSIWYG editors that are too smart by half. OpenOffice is no different in that respect. 
 Figure 1 is a graphic inside a box. References to this figure can be inserted into the report's body using “Insert->Cross-Reference->References->Figure” and selecting “Category and Number” for the actual insertion. You can “Paste Special” an OpenOffice drawing into this box, inserting just before the caption text.
Figure 1 Average Minutes Played per Player
Predicting where the figure's box will anchor itself on the page is a fine art in itself. Mostly it will do what you want and expect, sometimes it wont. Try to ignore placement issues until you've written the body text as you like it. It is good practice to get your content right before worrying about, and wasting hours on, presentation that keeps self-modifying as you add more content.
IV.	    Conclusion 
Recap the paper's premise, results, and interpretations of these results. Identify related work that is impacted by, or created by, this paper's results.
Don't forget to edit the first page's author section appropriately (use “Author” style for your name on one line, and “affiliation” style for following lines), and edit the footer with the correct date and technical report number.
	Acknowledgments
An acknowledgments section is optional, and if you need one then “Heading 5” seems to work nicely.
	References
[1]	Use "Heading 5" to announce the references section, and "references" style for the references themeveslves.
