Hi,

So when creating a template,
file | save as .... and then picking .ott for a template
gives a /very/different effect from
file | templates | save....
and there's nothing to warn the hapless user :-{
I can't find anything in the help file that discusses the difference -
or indeed to suggest that the second approach gives a 'sticky'
template. (I finally found a short note at
http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/08/24/openofficewrite
r.html
so it's obviously been around a while.)
thank you for bringing this to our attention. And thanks to Jean Hollis
Weber for her "sticky template" explanation.
I added this information to the "Opening Documents With Templates"
section in the help page that describes the File Open dialog in Writer
(shared/01/01020000.xhp).
