Hi,

to quote the fine manual:

,----[ (info "(org)Capture templates") ]
| You can use templates to arrange for different types of capture items,
| and for different target locations.  The easiest way to set up such
| templates is through the customize interface.
| 
| `C-c c C'
|      Customize the variable `org-capture-templates'.

Is your documentation uptodate?

You should find all the information in "9.1 Capture" and its
subnodes to get you started.

Argh, org-capture.el is not part of the current stable release.
So, if you want to try, you need the development version, either
with git or download org-latest (link is on orgmode.org).

If you still encounter any problems, please describe them so the
documentation can be improved :).
