I was wrong when I wrote, "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," Now I see that section talks about how to show hidden FOLDERS, not hidden TABS. Sorry. But the main problem stands: people expect to see the four tabs at the top. I must play around with this a bit more. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
