Right, Dan, but I'm way past there. Originally I did get that window with the two columns of selections. But, the thread to which I'm referring provided a method whereby one could select the type of document to start by default, in my case a Text Document, and open a pre-selected document of that type, bypassing the window with the selection. And that I did, and now I want to choose another pre-selected document of that same type.
I know of a couple of ways to achieve that. I use the extension "DisableStartModule.oxt 0.0.1" which starts OOo in writer instead of the Start window.
(available at http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90815 ) There are GUI and Command Line launchers for all modules of OOo at http://stuporglue.org/openoffice-org-aqua-rocks/ These are no longer supported.
It might actually be easier to find the one that is opening, and edit the styles, bus since I have one that I do like already, I thought I would merely change the pre-selection.
The methods I listed above will open Writer with the template you have set as default. Are you sure you correctly changed the template you want used as default? The instructions that you were given are correct. To check, with OOo open go to File/New/Text Document. Is the new document opened using the same template as opened by default or your new selection of default template? If they are the same you haven't correctly changed the default template.
Since you are automatically opening OOo on system startup, it is possible you are opening a specific document instead of the Writer default. Check what is listed under System Preferences/System/Accounts/Login Items.
It should be "OpenOffice.org" Larry -- _________________________________ Larry I.
