I was wondering about the same thing Philip mentions, but then I saw
that when I opened a new document, all the custom styles where there.
But then I realized that it's probably because there is already some
dummy text in my template which appears in a new document--it helps me
remember what's in the template. Without the dummy text, clicking on
"All Styles" or "Custom Styles" is likely necessary.
I hope that works for bunk3m.

I've made my own templates for various categories of documents and
equipped each template with its own sets of customised styles. They
work fine. I did the set up some years ago and don't recall exactly
what steps were required but I don't recall any particular difficulty.
I do remember that when I first used one of my templates, my
customised styles didn't show up but that was a simple oversight on my
part. In the sidebar panel (Ctrl-F5) which displays the styles, I had
never noticed the selector at the bottom which by default shows
'Applied styles'.
With a new blank document, there'll only be a default paragraph style
displayed. When I clicked on the drop-down list and selected 'All
styles', there were all my custom styles.
I don't suppose you've made the same oversight?

Hello,
I'm using LO 7.6.2.1 on Win11 and Mac.
I can't get the styles to work and stick in templates. I've used styles
and templates in MS Word for 30 years before switching to LO in the
past 5
years. I've read the help, Writer User Guide and Designing with LO
2nd Ed.
and apparently have missed something conceptual as I can't get the
styles
to stick within the templates.
I've created the styles in blank documents and then saved the
document as a
template.I expected that the paragraph, font, list formats & styles
that I
created would be saved in the template and reusable in subsequent
documents
created from the templates.
But when I use the templates to create a new document, none of the
previously created styles are there. I find I have to recreate all the
styles again as they aren't anywhere within the template. So far
it's been
a colossal waste of time.
I've found that all the "Youtube University" and User Guides are
superficial when it comes to styles. My goal is to set up a set of
corporate styles that can be used by numerous people in our
organization to
ensure consistency.
Can someone direct me to some more detailed documentation on how the
styles
are supposed to work? Perhaps with some more detailed documentation
I can
figure out what or how these are supposed to work ... or file a bug
reports.
Thank you in advance.
B.
