I'm sorry, I can't find this. Maybe I'm using the wrong search term.
There was a thread in here once on how to make OOo start up in a chosen
application, in my case Writer, and with a default document template. I made
that change but forgot to save the thread in my little folder of useful OOo
tips. Now I want to change the template which is used at startup. I don't
have one called simply Default which I could copy my chosen template over.
How do I do this? I promise to save the tip this time.
This, I /think/:
File | New | Templates and Documents
Organise
Navigate to the one you want to use
Commands | Set as Default Template
Good try, Mike, but no cigar. When OOo starts it's still the original document
that comes up. I recognize it since it has a header, and the one I want to use
and selected as default does not.
No great loss there, I don't smoke :-)
But I /did/ try that exact recipe as I wrote the reply. And it /did/
work - instead of a blank document, File | New gave my letterhead
template after I'd done that. I must admit I assumed that starting
Writer did an implicit 'File|New'. But checking, it does behave that
way, at least for me (ubuntu 10.04/OOo3.2.0 from the ub repositories)
(I do see there's a File|Templates menu item btw, shortcuts some of the
above)
