[libreoffice-documentation] Template field on the General page of the document properties
Does anybody know how sure whether or not that a document file generated from a template would automatically have the template filename automatically inserted in the Template field of the General page of the document properties (File Properties General)? I somehow thought that was the case; however, it does not work on the test documents I created today by a few test templates (version 3.3, I think...). I am using version 3.4.3. If so, would that particular field have to be preset in the template? I inserted an entry in that field in the template proper, and it still did not automatically carry over to the copy. Does this field need to be manually inserted in a document? Or might this behavior be a bug? The online Help for the template field reads: Template: Displays the template that was used to create the file. On another matter, I have got about the first one-third or so of my copyediting tutorial online today. So, if anybody would review and check it out for accuracy, I would appreciate it.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Template field on the General page of the document properties
The behavior that I get for the Template field is: that field in a new file created from a template is empty, even if the template had that field entered. It remains empty even after the new file copy is assigned another name other than Untitled and saved. Do you know what is supposed to occur? The online help is not terribly informative about the Template field in the General page. I assumed that the filename for the template that generated the file copy would have its filename automatically entered in the Template field. No?

The behavior I see with Writer when opening a custom template is that the new document name is Untitled #. I did find a setting to change this behavior. This behavior is similar to what I remember from MSO; using a template results in a new document Named Untitled #. If so, would that particular field have to be preset in the template?

What you describe has always worked for me, as long as I use File New Templates and Documents (or one of the equivalent ways of getting to Templates and Documents) or when using the Template Changer extension. However, if you create the new file by double-clicking on the template in any ordinary folder, the template is NOT attached and the name of the template does NOT appear on the Properties page. Or that used to be the behavior. Later today I'll verify that with v3.4.3. What o/s are you using? If so, would that particular field have to be preset in the template?

Or might this behavior be a bug? I didn't know it was possible to set that field manually. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

BTW, the O/S is Windows XP Pro SP3 on an ancient P4 Wintel box. I use the older machine for testing the software. If it works there, it should work on the ultra-fast 64-bit Quad 4s, whose CPU benchmarks are nearly twenty times faster than the P4, with sixteen times as much RAM. Gary.

Does the UI just enter the filename for the template there so that it can import the data field to the copy?

Good question. I haven't a clue. You probably need to ask a developer. --Jean On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 06:34, Gary Schnabl gschn...@swdetroit.com wrote: That field also exists in the template file proper.
