I reproduced the error with Windows 2000 and XP with OOo 2.0 and Linux 2.4.31
with OOo 1.1.0. I used the following steps to replicate the error:
1.Open the option dialog box, using Tools->Options from the main menu.
2.Choose OpenOffice.org->Paths from the selections in the dialog box on the
left, then choose templates from the options in the dialog box on the right.
3.Now click on the the Edit button, this prompts a new window listing the
selected paths.
4.Click Add and add a new path where some templates are stored.
5.Then confirm all the changes by clicking OK on the selected paths window and
the options dialog box.
6.Now select File->New->Presentation.
7.The AutoPilot is prompted. Of the three options here chose “From Template”,
this shows a list of all the directories with templates and the new directory
doesn't show up.
In addition I ran further tests to pinpoint where the error was occurring.
I created a subdirectory within the directory path which I created and stored
the template file in the subdirectory. This is how OOo has its templates stored
so I attempted to mimic it. This was a failure.
I also tried creating a subdirectory in an already existing path. I stored my
template in this subdirectory. OOo still did not pick up the template file.
Then I put my template file in the exact same file as the other template files
recognized by OOo. This also did not work.
Finally, I moved one of the files, which OOo recognized as a template file, into
a different directory. Then I tried to create an OOo presentation and selected
the removed template and OOo gave me an error. I then put my own template file
in the subdirectory and named the file the same name as the file I removed and
this worked.
So basically I had a file prs-strategy.otp in the directory:
C:\ProgramFiles\OpenOffice.org\share\template\en-US\presnt
which I replaced with my own template file and named the file prs-strategy.otp.
The directory name may vary.
