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.

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. I am unclear as to how I managed to make AOO confused about the template name.

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.

Incomplete/Incorrect Template Name is Shown via Use of Splash Screen
AOO415m1(Build:9789) - Rev. 1817496 2017-12-11 17:25 WIN10-64 desktop I went through a process to convert an existing .ods to a .ots . I used File | Templates | Save, after removing the various inputted numerical data from a previous year's computation. Now, however, I believe that an incomplete/incorrect is shown via the Splash Screen and/or via File | Templates | Template Management. 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. Has anyone else had this problem? Regards, VinceB.
