The user templates are stored in {user} openoffice.org2/user/template.
The system templates are stored in
{network} openoffice.org2.0/share/template/en-US. (People using another
language will have their language listed in the place of en-US.) This has
not changed. The only thing that has changed is being able to change these
paths to something different.
There is a configuration file that can be edited which will permit
changing these paths, but that should not be done by anyone unless they
know what they are doing. So far, I have not been able to find out what
this configuration file is nor where it is located.
For that matter, you can save your templates to whatever folder you
have read/write rights. Then go to that folder and open whatever template
you desire. It will open as a Untitled document just as if you accessed it
through the File > New > Templates and Documents method.
