Although I have the TemplateChanger extension, it is worth noting that
in LibreOffice Writer 5.1.4.2 (as delivered and updated with
UbuntuStudio 16.04.1) the Help information is not presently correct.

F1 Help says that :

"TemplateChanger
You can assign a document template to one or more text documents by
using the TemplateChanger extension. All styles (paragraph, character,
frame, page, and list styles) will be loaded from the template,
replacing the current styles of the document.
The document will be linked to the template file. From now on the
document will behave as it was created using the template file.

To access this command...
Choose File - Send - Assing template (current document) (LibreOffice
Writer only)
Choose File - Send - Assing template (folder)"

In fact in LO 5.1.4.2, what I find is :

1. to access the functionality, it is under :

File > Templates > Assign template (current document)...
File > Templates > Assign template (folder)...

2. 'All styles ...' do NOT replace current styles of the current
document. It is true that additional styles in the new template which
were not in the original template are now listed in Styles and
Formatting > all styles but not shown under 'applied styles'.

How would Writer know which new style was equivalent to which old style?

3. the info under File > Properties continues to show the original
template name.
