I have created several such templates. The problem is that I can find no
way to set the newly created template as the default template. If you
read my original post you know that I have tried the recommended methods
from the OOo list and none of them worked. That 's why I'm writing to
this list. I thought that since the methods which work for people on the
OOo list don't work for me might be some variation in the program
included with the Mandrake install CDs.

I am running OOo 1.1 as included with the Mandrake 9.2 CDs. Let me
repeat that I can find NO way to save a template and set it as my
default template. I have created the desired template and saved it as a
template. When I do a File> Templates> organize, my new template does
indeed appear in the list of templates. However when I select it and
click on"Commands" I am not offered a choice to make it my default
template. My only options are "New, Delete, Import template, printer
settings and Update". Those are the directions given by OOo and they do
not work!!
I've tried it on two very different machines both running mandrake 9.2
and the results are the same on both. Therefore I thought it might be
some variation in the program as included with Mandrake.
Whether it is a Mandrake issue or an Open Office issue the fact remains
that I'm unable to change my default template to one of my choosing. Is
there simply no way of doing it? OR am I simply doing something very
basic wrong which I'm too stupid or inexperienced to see?
Thanks again for all the help!!
