Creating a menu item

Windows XP SP3

We created numerous templates in LO 3.5.5.  We created the letter/template and
inserted input fields that would stop and ask the user to input the appropriate
data.  We then created a menu item that would show each time a blank Writer
document was opened.  Here are the steps we took.  Tools, Customize, Menus.  We
added a new menu (call it Billing), then under menu content, clicked add,
application, new document from template.  After confirming, this adds a menu
item called Billing.  Tools, Options, LibreOffice paths would point to the
template directory on the network.  In LO 3.5.5 this would open the template
the user chose, then prompt them for input fields.  The input data would then
be inserted in the letter.

We are hoping to upgrade to version 4.0.0.3, but when we try to duplicate what
worked in LO 3.5.5,  the template doesn't stop at the input fields to prompt
the user for data. 

We have found that if the template is opened (File, Open (browse to network
directory)), the template will prompt the user for input.  However, we would
like to be able to create the menu selection for opening the templates directly
from a Writer document the way we were able to in LO 3.5.5.
