--- Comment #2 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to BogdanB from comment #1) > my default template is 2 cm all margins. All new documents are the > same. So, could be correct that all new documents are based on a template. The latter does not follow from the former. "I have set a default template, and my new documents are being created from it" is *not* equal to "all new documents are based on a template". > But only IF LibreOffice is taking default template when creating a new > document. LibreOffice *does* take a default template when creating a new document, *if and only if* the default template is set. When it's not set, no template is taken into account. > But also, if the default template is created based on hardcoded numbers and > a new document is created based on the same default hardcoded numbers that > could also mean that it is based on the template, because we have the same > settings in hardcoded code, template and new document created from code > (default template). This is playing words. The term "template" is used in a very specific sense in the technical documentation, which is LibreOffice help. It is about a kind of *files* (ODF) that have names, are placed somewhere in the filesystem, and so on. The term "default template" also has a very specific meaning in the documentation, namely "a template (see above) that is configured in LibreOffice (either in shared configuration, or user configuration) to be used by default". The philosophical/linguistical question "what one could call a template" is not relevant to our documentation. And the current situation is confusing. And that is especially important since MS Word, for instance, has a true "default template" (normal.dot(m)), and so people tend to expect something similar in LO *by default*. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
