------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 17 08:12:26 +0000 2007 ------- it probably relates dircetly to issue 26648 - but here, it's under Writer, and the rationale for that older issue's invalidity doesn't apply in my opinion. Aim: I'm opening a text-only file using Writer, clean it up using macros, and I apply some styles so as to make it look more 'modern'. Lastly, I apply a specific font and page margins. To that end, I created a new document template adding two styles (one page style, one paragraph style), and defined it as default. When creating a new document, the 'custom' template is indeed used; however, when I open a text file, the original template is still used, and I miss my custom styles. I haven't managed to find a workaround (over than open the text file, open a new empty document, copy-paste) - it would be nice if, on the same menu where OOo asks for character encoding, one could also select a template - or at the very least, that text files import used the user-defined default template. I mean, many text files look best when opened with a fixed width font, for example - the default OOo template is no good in that case. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
