I happen to have a folder containing all of my created templates. Then, I used Manage Templates as you did. That is when I clicked the Import button. First I selected My Templates as the place where I wanted to import them. I browsed to my template "repository" and selected all of the templates I wanted and imported all of them at one time. Like you said, when the selection on the Manage Templates page was All categories, I saw all of the templates: mine as well as all of the others. And as you said, selecting "My Templates" shows only mine. Here is something that I also discovered that you might also consider. I closed Manage Templates. Then I reopened it. It opened at "My Templates". I have a feeling that whatever choice you use as to what type of templates you want to see is the same thing you will see the next time. I have done this twice with the same result. I have also create more categories by going to the template folder you mentioned above. I created a subfolder there to contain templates with a similar property. Then I moved them into it. When I opened "Manage Templates" again, the name of that folder appeared in the drop down list. I suppose this is called organization...

If the email headers displayed here are correct, your are on a Linux box. As such, your templates are probably at either * /opt/libreoffice6.1/share/template/ * /home/ your-user-name /.config/libreoffice/4/user/template/ But if you changed the path when you last setup LibO, all bets are off. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Re: [libreoffice-users] My Templates?
Hi. I am using Version: 6.0.4.2, Build ID: 00m0(Build:2) on OpenSuse leap. In my File>Templates>Manage Templates I have a single panel instead of split, but a dropdown list selector in the top right (image for James) My templates are separated in My Templates.

It is not sufficient to slide them into the templates directory of LO (in Ubuntu /home/user/.config//libreoffice/4/user/template/) - they just don't get registered in LO and so are not visible in the list when you want to select one for a new document. You need to go into LO, Writer for example, FILE >Templates >Manage templates> select 'my templates' in the drop down list and then click import. Then you need to navigate to where you have the templates stored, highlight them, and click import.
