Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't save Font changes to my template (or any template)
Hi Peggy. I think one factor you are missing is in relation to styles. When you customise a document before making it a template you need to consider the font in the styles that you use. You mention that "it changes itself back on subtitle, etc ". In the paragraph styles list you need to right click on each style that you use and set the font there to Arial. Also look in the organiser tab and see which is the "Next Style" and change the font in that style also. You should then be able to save that document as the default style as others have mentioned.

Hi Peggy, In addition to the advice given by Ricardo and Rémy, I suggest you take a look at the recently updated documentation: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice Chapter 3 - Using Styles and Templates and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide Chapter 10 - Working with Templates To pin to the taskbar: Once you have created and saved your template, open the "/Template Manager/", select your template and click the "Export" button. Choose your desktop to save the exported copy of your template, then right click and drag the desktop icon to the taskbar. Hope this helps. Dave PS.

Create a blank Writer document, then set it up the way you want by changing the "Default Style" to Arial with proper paragraph spacing, etc. Make sure you change the parent style if you want your change to be propagated to the others. One easy way of seeing which are parent styles, you can open the Styles and Formatting side bar and switch to hierarcchical view (drop down at the bottom of the side bar); one other way is to go to the Organizer tab of the style and to look at the "Inherit From" setting. Once you are happy with the setup, go to File -> Templates -> Save as Template like Ricardo indicated (do not forget the "Set as default"), I usually put the new template in "My Templates". Then - to be really sure - just close and re-open LO. When you select Create New Writer document, your new template with your new settings should be used. I hope this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Can't save Font changes to my template (or any template)
I've tried several ways after searching, including one that's supposed to be for the latest LibreOffice. It's writer I want to change since I don't use the others. Also I try to set the paragraph spacing the way I want and it won't stick. A footer with page number will stick. Every time I set up "My Template" or try to edit the derfault Template to get rid of Liberation serif which I dislike, to Arial, it changes itself back on subtitle, etc.. Even if I save a file set up the way I want and open it, the default fonts have changed. I've spent an hour trying to find a way to create a template or even a file, making a desktop shortcut so I can open that file as a template, and nothing works. Does someone know how to change the default Template permanently and then how to pin that one to the taskbar permanently? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
