[libreoffice-users] Re: Styles not saving

Interesting. That was mostly what I was looking for, how to move a new template into default. 
However, just to make sure I understand it, I cannot apply this 'template' to existing documents? 
So, for instance, I export a table from my database to view in Calc, it will not use this format.

I tried this with a csv I had already been working on in LO, and can verify that the new template 
did not get applied. I also created a csv with a text editor, then opened it in Calc, and it still 
not following the new default. Shame.

Hi,

Well, kind of.

There are default templates for different document types - and yes
styles are maintained in a document and (this is the important point to
your queston) in the template the document is based on.


So - if you want to make a new style available beyond just the document
it is added to, you need to add it to your default template - this way
any new documents will pick up the new style. NOTE - this will not make
it available to existing documents, only new documents going forward.

As a starting reference point you may want to take a quick look here:

I hope that helps and don't hesitate to follow up with more questions.

Best wishes,

//drew
