I'm voting that this is an important feature.  The way I (and many other users)
work is to start typing out my document.  When the content gets into its final
or nearly final form, then I want to put in the styles and formatting.  Maybe
someone has been creating a template or working on it separately while I'm
creating the content.  Style and content are separate.  It's like in HTML, I
can select and swap around CSS at any point in the process.  It might be easier
to put it in at the end so I can focus on the content.

Right now, in OO, once I have created a document without a template selected,
it's too late to apply a template.  I have to paste the entire document into a
template document.  Content+structure should be separate from style.  The
template should be as easy to swap as linking a CSS file into an HTML file.  A
word processor isn't a typewriter, and the lack of template management as a
first-class feature is really hurting OO for use in business setting.  This
seems like a trivial feature to add and I hope OO will take it seriously.
