Now, however, I believe that an incomplete/incorrect is shown via

When clicking on "Te_m_plates..." at the logo/splash screen, the
Templates and Documents dialogue screen is displayed. I then click
on _T_emplates and then I select My Templates to get a listing
within the Title pane area. Within the listing is shown: IRS Income
Tax Template; that is an incorrect template name/filename. I think
it should be listed as: IRS Income Tax CalculationsTEMPLATE (no
space between Calculations and TEMPLATE).
The complete Windows filename is: IRS Income Tax
CalculationsTEMPLATE.ots, which is what I Saved As into my
/AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice/4/user/template/ folder after removing
numerical data from a spreadsheet named: IRS Income Tax.ods.
I get the same incorrect template name when using File | Templates |
Template Management in the Templates pane, whereas I get the correct
filename shown within the Documents pane.
What am I not doing correctly? I have shut down AOO and restarted
AOO with the same problem. I have rebooted my PC and opened AOO,
also with the same problem.
I think you are perhaps contradicting yourself here. You say you
saved the template in My Templates using File | Templates > | Save...
. But then you say that you used Save As... (presumably File | Save
As...) to save a document file (as a template) to a specific folder -
the "template" folder. These are two different things, and I suspect
that confusion between the two is causing your problem.
In general it is good practice to use the user interface provided and
not to try to take shortcuts that you think or hope will produce the
same effect. So I suggest that you should use File | Templates > |
Save... and that you will see no problem that way. OpenOffice is
being cleverer that you give it credit for here, such that you can
give templates names which are not possible file names in the Windows
file system. Take, for example, a template name containing a question
mark: you can have this, but OpenOffice needs to use an alternative
file name where it saves the template - and does. I suspect that you
have been saving and deleting templates and files and confusing
OpenOffice and possibly also yourself. I'm guessing that the "wrong"
name you see is one your somehow previously ctreated.
Recommendation:
Close File Explorer and don't meddle in %AppData% unless you really have to.
Save, organise, and delete templates using the File | Templates interface.
Delete any wrongly named template there and save it anew with your
preferred name.
I trust this helps.
