Correct.
File > Open "letter.ott" uses the template to create a new doc from the
template, _unless_ you open it using the "Recent Files" list. An
unfortunate inconsistency, IMO.
If you want to edit a template, you can use File > Templates > Edit ...
-- or with any document, when you save the file, you can just use Save
As and switch the file type to "OpenDocument Text Template (.ott)".
The only template that you can't handle by the normal file operations is
the default template. You must use the File > Templates > Organize
dialog to designate a template as the default. Since that dialog only
looks at the standard template locations, the otherwise normal template
file must be located in the templates directory in order to be made the
default.
What the special "Templates" dialogs will do for you is provide access
to system-wide template directories, so all OOo users can create docs
from those common templates. For a typical single-user PC, that's not so
useful.
