Ah. You seek initiation to the mystery discussed at length here:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=37132
The default templates are not stored as files but are generated by
the software - hard coded, I believe is the term. It makes life
difficult for networks, seemingly one of the organisation's goals.
Cheers.
Terry, thanks.
Did you mean that one of the organisation's goals is to make life
difficult for networks ??? That's how it reads, at least to me. If
that's what you meant, why, please?
LOL. I thought I was a fully paid up member of the pedants' club, but
then my sarcasm detection circuit kicked in. Perhaps it was a false
positive... ummmmm.

I wondered about the ironic aspect but, if you read one of the web sites
(http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=139540) referred to in the
discussion Terry pointed me at in his reply, it seems OpenOffice is
*selling* an Enterprise Edition which is designed to support installation of
OO from a network server and to ensure that the users' settings are
determined by the administrator. In that light it makes some sort of
Machiavellian sense if the free edition made life harder in that
environment.
But then I am also a past president of the local Pedants' Association ;-)
