Hi guys,

not a pure dev question, but way to deep for any manual.

I have a problem with the document templates and the hierarchy they use.

I just read the 0210WG-WorkingWithTemplatesInWriter.pdf
(http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors/), but nothing
is said about document template hierarchies (and I could not find any
other documentation on that subject).

In some German wiki (http://www.ooowiki.de/DokumentVorlagen) I read a
small paragraph (way at the bottom), where it was stated, that every
template knows its "predecessor" (but I could not find anything in the
XML files of the child-template .ott). This way it shall be possible to
create a template hierarchy, where you can propagate changes from a
"master-template" down to child templates (and even multiple-levels
shall be possible).

On Ubuntu 6.06.01 with OO.o 2.0.2 as well as Windows XP and OO.o 2.1 I
could not get changes to be propagated.
I saved the templates with "Edit - Templates - Save" and made changes
via "Edit -
Templates - Organize... - Edit".
Is this just a misunderstanding of the forum writer or am I doing
something wrong?

I tried creating the child-template in two variations:
First via editing the master-/parent-template and saving that as
child-template. Second via making changes to a parent document and then
creating the child-template from that document.

I have no clue. Any help is appreciated

Best regards,
Thomas
