If you are able to open an existing template while already having an opened Calc file, please tell me how. I don't mean using File | Recent Documents.

You keep moving the goalposts! What's wrong with File | Recent Documents >?


     Nothing at all, if the list includes the file that I need at the
     moment. I have the default of 10 files included within the Recent
     Documents list.


o To open the template for normal use, click the down-arrow next to the New button in the Standard toolbar and select Templates and Documents | Templates | My Templates (or My Documents, depending on where you have put your template).


     Sweet !  Now I see how you manage to achieve what I have been
     attempting to do here, myself.  Thank You!  Frankly, I have not
     noticed the "Templates and Documents" option under that "New" button.

o To open the template for editing, go to File | Templates > | Edit... (...My Documents, depending on where you have put your template).

I am not able to open the quick access launcher/dashboard, or whatever it's called, if I already have a Calc file opened.

What I think of as the start screen? No: that is available only when you do not yet have a document open.

When I navigate to my desktop and then click on the OpenOffice 4,1.3 shortcut, if a Calc file is already opened, I get that opened file; whereas I want to use the Templates button at the launcher screen to select a specific template for editing. I am trying to get both a template and a document file available within separate AOO windows screens.

I think you are saying that you want to get back to the start screen after you have left it to open some template or document. Then it wouldn't be a start screen. And the fact that you lose it as soon as you open something surely has nothing to do anyway with whether you are handling documents, templates as templates, or templates for editing?

I trust this helps.
