I get the same error if I open a document based on template x and then try
to save this document as a "revision" of template x.
I guess that the cleanest way to modify a template is
file--> templates --> organise --> (pick the template you want to edit) -->
commands --> edit --> (do the modifications) --> save (the "normal" one)
Cheers,

This is a repost (with a new subject line) because I didn't get it
resolved
the first time, perhaps because I was not clear in describing the problem
and perhaps because I wasn't subscribed to this list.
This behavior is new with RC2, and I haven't gone to RC3 because the
release
notes don't seem to apply to me. Until RC2 (including RC1 and .195 and
many
earlier versions) I could create a new spreadsheet with one of my standard
templates, make changes to the sheet, and then save the resulting file as
the same template that I originally started with. By "saving the template"
I mean using the FILE > TEMPLATES > SAVE procedure. With RC2, when I
attempt this procedure, after saying "yes" to overwriting the existing
template, I get an "Error writing document Untitled1 as template: General
Error. General input/output error."
My experience with this error is identical on two different WinXPproSP2
machines and is perfectly reproducible. I would submit an issue, but I
don't know how, and I am not sufficiently confident that the problem isn't
unique to my particular circumstances. Can others reproduce this behavior?
Ideas?

This is true even if I save it (ctrl+S) as Untitled1.ods. I hope
this is a bug, and not by design.

The correct procedure is to do this File > Templates > Save. Name
the template and click OK. This places the template in the My
Templates folder. If you are making corrections to a template you
follow the same procedure. When asked if you want to overwrite the
file, answer yes. I have been doing this since 1.1.0 of possibly 1.0.3.
While you can save the file as a template and place it in the
correct folder, it is easier to do so as I outlined it above. It is
also listed in Help: Use "templates;creating document templates" as
the search term.
Please reply to [email protected] only.
The procedure Dan describes is precisely what I have been doing
successfully
since 1.0 also. In my original post I used the keyboard shortcuts to
distinguish between the two types of "Save." Unfortunately, this procedure
no longer works for me with RC2. I have tried it both at work and at home
and get the same result. It also makes no difference whether the template
I
am modifying was originally created with RC2 or was converted from an
earlier version. Incidentally, this is on WinXPproSP2.
