3D game programming book question

I download chapter9 (create skin) of the book that was avaliable in the last post it's really easy to follow and helpfull.

I go thru that chapter and I like it but I have a small question:

there is always a UV mapping template ready and we should open it from the CD but the chapter doesn't show how to create the UV mapping templates so is this subject coverd on somewhere else on the book?
