Create a new document in Writer. Make sure that the "Form Controls" toolbar is visible and that Writer is in Design Mode. Click "View" on the menu, then select "Toolbars." If "Form Controls" isn't checked, click it. Click the "Design Mode On/Off" icon if it is not already selected.

Create a header with your company logo. Use your standard letterhead if you have one. If you don't have letterhead, create a footer for your contact information, or include it in the header. The U.S. Small Business Administration suggests including your fax number.

Type "Order Form" at the top of the page, within or directly beneath the header.

Create a section for information about the customer. Make this subhead bold, or use one of the "Heading" styles. Include the client name, organization, mailing address, home and work phone numbers, email and preferred method of contact.

Create a section for the information you need to complete the order. This may be a simple table with separate columns for quantity, part title and unit price, and a line for total cost at the bottom. If your product is a service, this section may be a list of options and details. Include a field for the order date and, if applicable, the deadline. Create a category for special instructions.

Insert a text box next to any category requiring a free-form answer. Select the "Text Box" icon in the "Form Controls" toolbar, and draw a rectangle next to the label.

Create check boxes for situations where you want to list commonly used options, such as preferred method of contact. Click the "Check Box" icon in the "Form Controls" toolbar, and draw a rectangle. Double-click the word "check box" and enter the option in the "Label" field. Change any other settings you would like before closing the window.

Save the file with the extension .ott.
