fig_wrigth, see bug 285998 if that is what you experienced.

There are several problems regarding templates right now:

- there are no default templates (see this bug 372132 )
- the right click menu is pointless by default right now
- there is no obvious way to make it useful
-- (like an "click here to install some templates"-menu item instead of the "no 
templates installed"-menu item you cannot click)
- there is a ~/Templates folder in user's home that is of no obvious use and 
that is not hidden by default (bug 193689)
- things are permanently messed up if you remove that folder (bug 285998)
- in nautilus there is a Go->Templates menu item that is documented/explained 
poorly

that whole Templates-Thing should be overhauled and i find mac_v's post
quite interesting.

PS: as another example of possible usage, i know people that put
"A4-landscape.odt", "A4-portrait.odt" (and so on) in there to spare
configuring format and orientation every time.
