I'll describe this as an "enhancement" because I'm not describing a current
feature not working, though I think it's really a defect, due to the broken
behaviour described later.

There should be somewhere in OpenOffice.org to:

1) See what template a document is associated with, and
2) Change what template a document is associated with.

Changing the template should reload the styles, just as if one had edited the
current template, reloaded the document and clicked "Yes" (to the question about
updating styles).

Note that this would fix the following somewhat broken behaviour:

- Make a new document based on some template and save it. If you don't have any
templates you'll need to make one first.

- Change the template in some way and save it.

- Close and re-open the document.

- Answer "No" to the question about updating styles.

Your document is now disociated from the template. There is no way to
re-associate it. You would be able to fix this, of course, if you could just
access the document's template settings and "switch" back to the old template
again...

One can work around this by creating a new document linked with the template and
copying all the material from the original into it, but that's plain ugly.

Colin.
