Go to Templates -> Organise
Find your template in the list
Right-click on it and select Set As Default Template

Howzat?

I have followed the instructions in the Help menu as best I can --
the descriptions of what *should* appear don't always match what
*does* appear -- and the template is always ignored,
and I get what appears to be the default format / styles / what-have-you.

I can provide details of every step I have taken,
but basically it's every step delineated in the Help texts,
to the extent that they explain what to do.
My notes on this are very detailed, very long, and very boring.

*Roughly* speaking, I have done the following:
  * Specify where I want to store my template(s), using:
  Tools -> Options -> OO.o -> Paths
  * Create a new document.
  * Define a page format, some paragraph styles, and some character 
styles.

  * Save the file as a template, using:
  File -> Templates -> Save.
  * Create a new document, expecting it to use the template, but it 
doesn't.


Anything obvious that I'm missing?
Any subtle points I may not know about?
