Hi Rob, I mentioned to you previously that the contributor guide documentation is in a state of flux and what you currently read there should not be taken as absolute fact.
At the docs team meeting on Oct 31st 2018 it was agreed that in future screen captures for the guides would be taken from Windows 10. In fact I offered to make the screen captures for any contributor who either didn't have Windows 10, or wasn't able to make them. Unfortunately, this was never adhered to and we continue to have an inconsistent variety of captures. Maybe this would be the time to reach team consensus on this issue and document it in the contributors guide. For an number of different reasons the "Template Changer" extension has pretty much been abandoned/ignored. Mainly because it is no longer being developed/supported. While the extension still works perfectly for me, others have reported that they have issues, possibly related to their choice, There are 2 methods for applying a template to an existing document: 1. See "Associating a document with a different template" page 224 of the 6.4 Writer Guide. 2. See "Creating and modifying styles" page 182 of the 6.4 Writer Guide. The second option allows you to choose between a template stored in your local templates, or from a file in a different location. If you don't already have a copy of the 6.4 Writer Guide, download from: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/a/a4/WG64-WriterGuide.pdf Regards Dave On 31/12/2020 08:56, Rob Westein wrote: > Hi All, > > Indeed, it is confusing... > How to apply the latest template to an Revised Chapter?
