Hi Paul. Thanks for the pointer - I must have read over the Path
option when looking at the menu ;)
I do now see the template paths, including one in a hidden directory
under ~. Permissions and all look good, but it still complains that it
can't copy the file. I wonder if this might be a problem with the RPM
build/packaging or an actual defect in OOo?
I think that I'll try manually copying the file into the template dir
and see what happens.

Have a look at tools > options under the 'openoffice.org : paths'
section. There is a path set for 'templates' which if you change to
something that is writable by the user should be okay.
I would have thought however that is a network installation was done
there would be user paths set to allow these types of actions...

OO 1.1.3 installed from RPMs on a RHFC3 box.
I want to add a new template and know how to do it, but OO complains
that "Error copying template "file://newtemplate.stw". A template with
this name may already exist."
I suspect that this is a permissions problem with a template directory
somewhere. I'm running OO as a regular user (not root), and I think
it's
trying to put the new template in the global template directory. Is
there a means of creating a local template directory in which I can
store my private templates?
Thanks!

Manually copying won't work - OOo won't be able to do automatic updates
of all files created by that template because officially it won't know
about it. I had similar trouble several months ago. I had to delete the
template name and start over to get it to work right. If I remember
correctly, I had some difficulty because I tried to use the template
organizer (file> new> templates and documents) instead of the template
menu item (file> templates> save). Then I kept wanting to save my
template the same way and I believe the correct way to save a template
after I've already created it and saved it (via file>template>save) is
just to do file> save. I think doing file>template>save again gave me
the message you've reported.
