------- Additional comments from timdea...@openoffice.org Thu Jun 18 15:11:12 +0000 2009 ------- The original template is named "ltr.PersTemplate.ott". It lives at: c:\Documents and Settings\Tim\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\template\" When I decided to create the new template, I navigated to that directory, opened that .ott file, and then chose |File|Save As| to rename it as a template filetype to "ltr.PersTemplate5x8.ott" (making sure it got saved in that same directory). I then made my changes and saved it again (not 'save as', just 'save'). On the 14th, I started Writer and clicked on the dropdown arrow beside the NewFile icon (first icon on the left), then chose |Templates and Documents|. I immediately knew something was wrong, because the "ltr.PersTemplate5x8.ott" template name was not in the list. I then selected the original "ltr.PersTemplate.ott" template. But what opened was a new document based on the "..5x8.." template. I then navigated back to the directories the two templates live in. Both files were still there. I opened both files and started looking thru the Properties of both files. I also used Windows Explorer to check the properties of both files. What I found was that in both files the "Title" field shown in the Description tab of the window that appears when you click |File|Properties| still showed the original template file's name. (The correct filenames appeared in all other 'Properties' locations I found.) In the "..5x8.." file, I changed that field to its proper filename, saved it, and closed both template files. I then went back to the dropdown arrow beside the NewFile icon, chose |Templates and Documents| again, and now both templates appeared in the file list. And clicking on each name now opened a new doc with the contents of the proper template. I hope that helps. It seems unnecessarily complex tho. In MS Office 97, all I have to do to create a template is to give it the correct extension and put it in the proper directory. MS Office then uses the actual filename, and I don't have to worry about any internal properties fields. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
