--- Comment #19 from Jan Bart <[email protected]> ---
It has been a while, and I found what I think is the cause of my confusion.
The path of the linked template in the meta.xml is hardcoded in documents
created in 4.0.5, like c:/users/user1/..
But the path of the linked template is relative in documents created in 5.x.,
like ../../../../
Opening and saving a LO4 document with LO5 keeps the hardcoded path of the
linked template, it does not convert that to a relative path.
Since I was randomly picking subdocuments for testing, that were created by
several of my colleagues (user1, user2, user3), the converted document would
still refer to the template on the harddisk of my colleagues computer...no
wonder it would not ask "Update styles?".
Creating a new LO5 document does store the relative path to the linked template
of LO5, and that document worked like a charm.
Using the template changer 1.2.7 found elsewhere wisely, and assigning LO5.3 to
use that same new template, our hundreds of master and subdocuments are easily
converted and all seems to work as intended.
Thank you for your efforts.
