Thanks for this Jean and Michele.
It seems that applying the template with the Template Exchanger still
causes some of the images in figures to disappear. Perhaps a glitch in
OOo or with the Template Exchanger extension? Not a big deal, as a
workaround, I simply copied and pasted the missing images from the
previous revision of the document into the one I've been working on.
Thanks,
Sak.

After you install this updated template, then the next time you open a
chapter file, you may get a message saying that the styles in the
document have changed and asking if you want to update the styles.
Answer Yes.
If you do not get this message, check the Doc Properties to see if the
chapter uses one of the draft templates (identified by a date and
initials at the end of the file name). If so, you can use the Template
Changer extension to update the file to use the current template
(assuming you have the extension installed). Please note that you will
then need to make one manual fix and you might need to make a second fix.
1) Due to a long-standing bug in OOo, the settings in Tools > Outline
Numbering revert to the default Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on, so the
ToC won't update correctly. (Yes, an issue on this was filed long ago.)
You need to manually fix the outline numbering to use OOoHeading 1, etc.
Once fixed, the correct settings stick after saving the file.
2) Only the *styles* are changed; none of the content (graphics or text)
is changed. This is how it should be. However, some of the older chapter
files may have out-of-date graphics on the title page, which will need
to be manually adjusted or replaced. Specifically, the OOo3 logo may be
the wrong size (it should be 288pt x 85.7pt) and the banner down the
left-hand side may be the old, too-pale version (replace with new one).
I've also noticed that sometimes the OOo3 logo ends up behind the side
banner graphic, thus cutting off a bit of the logo on the left-hand
side. If you notice this, just select the logo, right-click, and choose
Arrange > Bring to Front.
