I've spent the past several hour pouring over everything I can find
on templates and can't figure them out.
I've created a default template that is based on Modern Library
Association (MLA) standards.
I've created a second template that varies from that style slightly
called Comic Double Space.
I want to use both in the same document.
I have set the MLA template as default.
Now, once I have my text entered, how in blue blazes do I change to
the second template (Comic Double Space) I made?
Both templates show up when I do "new file" "template". At first I
thought it would show up under "styles and formatting". Nope.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks for your help.

Try inserting a section break when you wish to change styles.
Otherwise the style will apply to the whole document.

Joe, does that really apply to using different templates? I thought it
was one document, one template. If that's true, a section break
wouldn't help, right? That lets you change page styles, but does it
affect anything else?
Mark, if my interpretation is right, I think that what you need are
different styles in the same template -- page, paragraph, character,
or all of the above. Alternatively, if what you're trying to do is
produce the same document two different ways, you'll need to make your
first document, then create a new document using the other template
and use copy and paste to get the material into the second one. If the
style names are the same, but the fonts or whatever are different
between the templates, I think they'll be reinterpreted as you want them.
I can only describe what works for me and what does not. Try it, and if
it does not work for you let us know please, describe what did happen
and how it is different than what you were expecting.
I have never understood styles vs. templates, and how they are similar
and/or different. Some styles are obviously missing (landscape in Calc
for instance) and some style tools are different in Writer and Calc for
no obvious reason. I have been using OOo for over 5 years, and I am
still climbing a steep learning curve.
