     The path he needs to use ends in .../template/common because his LO
installation is on a server. This permits people from other computers to
use LO and the same templates.    
     If templates are placed in the common folder, they will not be
seen. A folder must first be created in the common folder and the
templates placed in the created folder. (See my earlier post.)
     There is another path for templates which is in the user's LO
folder. This path ends in .../user/template. Templates placed in the
template folder of this path will be seen. Templates in this path are
only visible on one computer which is why this path would not work for
him.
