Hi :)
Brilliant!!  It's rare to see someone put that effort in to finding out and helping other people.  
Obviously there are a few people (such as Dan, Brian, Alex, Jay, Regina, hmmm, quite a few) and 
it's good to see someone possibly joining their ranks :)
Nicely done!
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)

 If he's willing, Brian would be a better guide on how to do that than I.

Turns out it was Dan.  Sorry about that Dan (and Brian)!  I trust you don't mind if I repost your 
explanation of how to use templates?

Anne - Perhaps you'll be able to adapt it to your situation. There's some help in the help file - 
use "defaults;fonts" as your search string.  If that's not
 enough, maybe Dan (or anyone else) can help you.  Or, I could be wrong about the solution.

 Double click the My Templates folder to open it. Your template should appear under My Templates 
folder. If not, right click My Templates and select, Import Templates. Browse to where you saved 
your template, and select it. Now it should be visible. Now, right click your template. Select Set 
as Default. Close LO. Any time you open Writer, you will be using the template you have just 
created. Title will be available all the time.
