Dear Sirs, I was doing some research about how to change document properties after upgrading to Open Office 4 and came across your post for people who want to help with documentation.
Considering that I have searched for three hours but have not found any information about how to replace the document properties (file > properties > general {and other tabs}) from that of the properties in the template, I would like to be sure that it gets included in the documentation to be published. When using a template, the author's name of the template is in the properties of the template. When you use that template, the template's author is erroneously displayed at the author of the document. As it is, I can not find any way to change the name of the author. Also, I am only able to change some of the information in the properties tabs, and some I have changed by opening it in Calibre and making the metadata changes there, then re-opening it in Open Office 4. Even so I can't change the created by, created date, nor remove the template name from the file. So, when I give the file to someone else, the wrong properties are displayed which gives me great problems. Having someone else's name appear on the document with wrong time and dates causes people to be concerned about the security of my work. This was not an issue with Microsoft Word. :( They are pressuring me to purchase Word. Thank you for considering my submission. Cindy Livengood
