Another thing... CNET mentioned that 90% of LO installations were for
Windows users. Many users of MS Word are aware that Word employs a
normal.docm file for its default template and the means how to
regenerate it. Mention in LO/OOo docs should advise users that there is

Hi :)
I found it! I dunno where i found it as i installed a ton of stuff. I can't
believe Mac has anything like this. It looks very Win98. Very flat boring
colour. I like rich green or golds, or silver.

It's possible that the Adwaita theme appeared on the theme list when I
installed the Gnome Tweak Tool, without my doing anything else. I
certainly didn't install it deliberately or knowingly, and I don't
think it was there when I first opened "Appearances".
Heh, heh. I wonder if it will still be t
Hi :)
I am going to try to stay with Unity on the VM install if i can. It's not easy
to work out how to do things except open Firefox and LibO.
Ok, i installed 11.10 (on the VM) and opened "Appearances" but only get 4
themes.

Radiance = nice orange, feels light and airy

This is the first time I've used Unity; didn't liked the 11.04
iteration. I'm not sure whether I'll stick with Unity or revert to
"Classic" Gnome, assuming that option is still available. Must confess
I'm not spending much time on Linux these days, having switched to a
Mac for day-to-day work.

I have now revised Getting Started Chapter 3, Using Styles and
Templates, accepting Hazel's edits and making further edits based on
Gary's review of Writer Guide Chapter 10, Working with Templates, as
well as adding a brief section on printing a list of the styles
defined in a template or document.
Hi :)
I only tried the 11.10 in a VM as a LiveCd. I liked Unity for kiosks or for
our public access machines or even most of the office workers but i agree about
Gnome being much easier for even slightly skilled users.

Tom :)

Tom,
If you have Ubuntu 11.10, have a look in the Appearance dialog for the
Adwaita theme, which has blue highlighting in menus but
otherwise looks almost identical to our XP-Silver theme. It also looks
very similar to one of the standard Mac themes.
I'll post a sample on the wiki when I get a cha

DUH! It is right out of the rebranded OOoAuthors Chapter 10, Working
with Templates, now available at a LO docs outlet near you... Surely you
must have seen it.
Check out the reversion to the factory default template in LO and see
what you come up with for version 3.4.3.

Hi :)
Ahh, i dunno. I didn't know there was a command (other than my sledge-hammer
approach).

My question was intended to ascertain if the version 3.3 command to
restore the factory default template is still available. I did not
notice its availability (no such version 3.3.x command in the UI __in my
version 3.4.x). So, what is the version 3.4.x manner for doing that?

Hi :)
It's just that renaming the old one or deleting it forces LO to create new
fresh folders and files. Renaming the entire profile is a bit of a
sledge-hammer approach, roughly equivalent to what most people expect from a
re-install of the program, but it also works for sub-folders within th

Hi :)
I really like the Radiance theme in oranges and reds. It seems to be available
on a lot of different distros but not at all in Windows without considerable
work. Silver is good and seems more familiar cross-platform-wise.

Hi :)
You can get rid of all extensions, settings, configurations, galleries,
templates and all by just re-naming your user-profile. In LobreOffice look
in
Tools - Options - LibreOffice/General - Paths
and look for the folders "... libreoffice/3/user ...". If you rename the

Fantastic. Thanks Hazel.

One way to handle this is to employ a note at the start of that
subsection that directs the user to check the accompanying screenshot
and see if those submenuitems are already included in the UI. Then, a
user who has them would not need to do anything further for the first
two steps of that 5-s

Yes, if you already had it, then in all likelihood, it was taken up in
your existing configuration files
