The instructions for that is still on the Templates area, and I am
wondering if it would be safe to move or remove them from the page so
there isn't any confusion with users.

if this is about http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/
then that page needs some editing for sure.
For example, the following sentence:
"The Samples and Templates area is broken up into two locations. These
areas represent the directory stucture where the files should be placed."
is no longer valid for OOo 2, and some of the directory names in the
table are invalid, too.
%OpenOffice.org%/user/template/ for OOo 2.0 is not a subfolder of "the
location you originally installed the OpenOffice.org suite", but it is a
subfolder of C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application
Data\OOo_folder_name or the respective ~/.OOo_name folder on UNIX systems.
Only for %OpenOffice.org%/share/template/en-US this is still the
correct folder.
The two headings "Templates" and "2.x Templates" look OK, because with
an unpatched version 1 you can only use the version 1 templates, while
with a patched version 1 or with version 2, you can use all templates.
I do not get this patched versus unpatched statement. 1.1.5 is in the
1.1.x family and is capable of reading 2.x files types along with its
own. I am not aware of any patch set that will add this capability to
any version of 1.1.x earlier than 1.1.5 and it stands alone as a
release. Please help me here.
I don't know if you can patch a 1.1.x version, where x is less than 5,
i.e. before 1.1.5, this may be answered by other experts.
If this is so, the correct directions on a Web page would be even more
complicated, to cover for these cases:
1.1.4 or earlier -- only use version 1 templates
1.1.5 up to 1.9 (??) -- only use version 1 templates
1.1.5 up to 1.9 with patch applied -- read any template, save version 1
templates
1.9, 2.0, 2.1 -- use any template
BTW, Uwe please ask Frank about fixing your Headers so a reply does not
point back to your news server system. I ask because I believe replies
lose the threading information.
OK, although there is a correct "reply-to" address, the newsserver does
not honor that. So I will try to remember to "reply all" and then remove
the newsgroup from the list of recipients.
Uwe
