Thanks, guys, but I can see and access all my other templates beginning with _, and I've used this 
kind of system in various different ways before on all four operating systems without problems.  
It's just that I only recently began using customised templates that I'm so late using them for 
OOo, now LibO.  I also try to avoid names with spaces in them, and thus have used the hyphen to 
separate Mandarin and template in the file name.

Additionally, I can see my _Mandarin-template.ott in OOo, and open it without problems.  This is a 
bug in LibO.
