The problem is that when you go to save a presentation as a template, there is only one tab (Documents) visible in the Template Manager, UNLESS the user has already saved (or moved) a template into another tab. But many people expect to see several tabs like you see when creating a presentation from a saved template, and it's not obvious how to put a newly-saved template under another tab. It was correctly described in the Impress Guide v4.0, from which Brian Barker quoted in an earlier note in this thread, but that section is not in the v4.2 Impress Guide... nor does it appear to be in another of the other books. This situation is the same for all components. I am reviewing Chapter 11 of the Draw 4.3 Guide, and I noticed that Figure 7 does not correspond to what I see on any platform (Linux Mint, Windows 8.1, OS X Yosemite) when saving as a template; it is what I see when starting to create a new presentation from a template. Otherwise, the info is not wrong, but it is incomplete and confusing. It talks about folders, but not about the tabs at the top. I am doing some other editing on this chapter and will put it into Feedback later today, for your consideration. If you see all four tabs when doing File > Templates > Save as Template, well, hm, I don't know what's going on.
