Yes I know of the Template site.
BUT, there are a lot of people out there that has some good ideas on how
to do things that seem never to be a part of an "official" template list.
The idea of making a master document that automatically combines
sub-documents to make sure the starting page of each
sub-document/chapter starts on an odd page number - is something that
others might want to see and look at how it is done.
Then there are other documents "styles" I would love to see in template
form. It does not have to have the "template" three-character file name
type either.
It is hard to find a lot of good complex ones that are not from MSO
designs.
Some of us do not have time to figure out how to do some of these nice
things, I have heard of, with out time constraint. For me my last
doctor's visit was telling me - in not so many words - that I have to
reduce the amount of time I am sitting at my desk dealing with this
desktop. I wish I had enough time to really get into reading all of the
guides and manuals I have. I use to back in the early 2000's.
So to really state it over again:
We need more people who find good solutions on how to do things, with
their creation of "master documents" for their type of documents, take
their "finds" and place then in our LO template pages with a brief
explanation on what it will do for the user.
We need more and more solutions to be shared with the rest of us.
I have offered to help people create their own Spell Checking
dictionaries for specialized topics. I think those with the skill in
creating documents should do their part in helping other as well.
I have not checked, YET, but it would be great to have some GOOD
calendar templates for both monthly wall calendars and every other type
you can think of. I am creating a "special" wall calendar for a group I
belong to that shows the dates of every meeting for 2013, like I did for
2012, 2011, and 2010. That way they will not have the excuse of not
knowing when the next meeting is.

Hi :)
There is a Templates site with almost exactly the same name as the Extensions
site. Whichever you are on you might notice the tabs at the top to let you
switch from Extensions to Templates or vice-versa.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi all,
Is it the case that a document **must* *end with a paragraph mark. I am editing
a publication which is a master document and I would like to specify that for a
given sub-document I wish to have nothing below it on the page but when I
insert a page break I am given another page with a blank paragraph which I do
not want. I am aware of the possibility of specifying that a document must
start a fresh page, but I have tried that in the past and introduced a
non-deletable feature in the master document.
Any thoughts?
Barry
Yes, all documents **must** end with a paragraph mark. Writer documents are
written using XML. The "markers" used to format the text are used in pairs. If
there is a beginning of a paragraph, there must be an ending of it. The paragraph markers
only visually show you where the paragraphs begin and end.
I just created a master document from 4 chapters that I have. (Total
pages: 212) In the master document, nothing is below the end of a given
chapter; the next chapter begins with on a new page. And if the subdocument
ended as an odd page in the master document, a blank page was added so that the
new chapter begins as an odd page.
How did you create the master document? If we had your steps, someone
might be able to discover what has to be done differently.

If this is not out of line, how about we get people to share their "favorite"
master document-templates with the rest of us. The trick of adding sub documents and
automatically having the next chapters start on an odd page is nice to know how to do.
There are a lot of people out there that have created master documents that
could be used as template-documents by others so that they do not have to
figure out all the needed information on their own.
Actually, I never did figure out how to make a master document that used
sub-documents [chapters/sections] using LO. I tried back in first year of
using LO and then gave up. It seemed easier to edit individual
chapters/sections of a large document than edit a 50plus page one.
ALSO, as for ending a document, I always have one or two blank lines after my
last paragraph of text. That is what I was taught in college [and work] in
thelate 80's and early 90's, so I never got out of the habit of doing it.
