The defaults that appear there are styles named "Default", not templates.
Am I doing something wrong or do I misunderstand how to create the
templates? I thought perhaps someone here could explain how I can
access the templates. For example, I would like to open my academic
template a couple of pages into the document created with the
default template. I can't make it work. Someone made a suggestion
a while back, but I failed to save it at the time and can't find a
reference now that makes any sense.
That thread (from last September) is at http://tinyurl.com/y926tcg .
I have no reason to suspect that you misunderstand how to create
templates, but it seems you misunderstand their purpose. A template
sets parameters for a document, so you can use only one template per
document. The new document is simply a copy of the template, and you
create or edit it from there.
If you wish to change the style of your document a few pages in, you
can do this by creating and using suitable styles - page styles,
paragraph styles, and so on. If you want these styles to be
available in future documents, you can do this by:
o including the styles in a template (even the default template)
that you use when creating these documents, or
o importing the required styles where necessary from an existing
document. (To do this, open the Styles and Formatting window, click
the New Style from Selection button, and select Load Styles... .)
I trust this helps.
