 Hi Olivier,

 First, the choice of fonts and colors are a matter of taste, which is an
endless debate...

Sure, yet... staying with Arial and TNR, aping Office 2000 is not
really an option either, though.

 Second, - I have not tested -  LO may warn me that my legacy documents
have
new default template and ask for an update. If this is true, this will
be a
shoot in the head of document preservation.

That's an interesting (theoretical) problem – can you test, please,
though?
My logic says, this shouldn't happen, also, the styles are usually
embedded within the document.

Nothing will happen to our current documents since none of them are based
on the
Avantgarde.ott template. Though if we want to make any changes to
Avantgarde.ott
templates later and keep the name and location of the template - then the
user will
get a question if he/she wants to update the styles. We need to avoid that.


Yes that is what I'm thinking... I just didn't know it was restricted to
template name and not the "default" template.



Hmm... Interesting, it seems that it does not even have to be in the same
location
just in one of the installed paths or set as default template.

I have no idea what happens if we change one of the "built in styles"
which is the
long term goal as I understand it.


The only attributes you can change on the built-in styles are in Tools -
Options - Writer - Basic fonts. When changing them, all new documents based
on the default template will carry the changes.

If we offer Avantgarde.ott as one document template (among others), that is
ok for me. To offer it as default template is another story.
