Thanks, guys, but I can see and access all my other templates beginning with _, and I've used this kind of system in various different ways before on all four operating systems without problems. It's just that I only recently began using customised templates that I'm so late using them for OOo, now LibO. I also try to avoid names with spaces in them, and thus have used the hyphen to separate Mandarin and template in the file name. Additionally, I can see my _Mandarin-template.ott in OOo, and open it without problems. This is a bug in LibO. //James -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
