Hi :) The published official guides are much better https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
The in-built help (at least the English version of it) is not always completely up to date or accurate. The international translators team work at it before translating it and i don't think their version is the one we get. There is something mighty odd going on there which i've never understood Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Andrew <apb5...@bak.rr.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Thursday, 1 August 2013, 10:07 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] Setting default template > > >Trying to set a default template.
