Thanks, Doug. Concerning exported PDFs, I agree that setting up a Navigation Pane is a good idea. I don't know whether that was a limitation when the PDF version 1.4 document was produced via OpenOffice.org 1.1 in 2004.
Good luck using the PDF export provisions of current Apache OpenOffice. There are many options to choose among when exporting a PDF and I trust you will find ones that work for you. The document you found, <http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/HOW_TO/word_processing/HowTo_Work_with_Templates.pdf> is not maintained as part of the Apache OpenOffice project. It is preserved on the web site for archival purposes only. It is interesting how much prominence it receives with Internet search engines [;<). Apache OpenOffice How Tos are at <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos>, along with other documentation on the Wiki. These are now Wiki pages, part of a migration begun in 2007. Based on your experience, I think it would be useful to add a "How to Work with Templates" topic on the Wiki as an umbrella for the individual HowTo parts. I also think the <http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/HOW_TO/word_processing> page could usefully link to the material on the Wiki. (The parent page does already.) Finally, this list did not preserve your attachment. You do not need to resend it. We are not maintaining that document. It might be time to replace it with a tombstone document that indicates where this topic is now addressed though. What do you think? And maybe a HowTo on exporting to PDF might be handy also. Do you have any interest in that area?
