Re: [libreoffice-users] Templates Disappeared
Hi :) Try Tools - Options - Paths to see where LibreOffice is looking for your templates. Hopefully you can edit that to look in the right place. It is better to have your templates inside your /home along with all the rest of your users data and settings. The full address for the 3.5.x branch is something like /home/username/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template Note that inside /home/username/.config you will see a lot of folders. Each program has a folder in there for it's own settings and configurations. Some are still in /home/username but are moving to the newer place to reduce congestion and confusion. Note that username should be replaced by your own user-name, the one you login with. Don't change the 3/user part tho!
