Re: [libreoffice-users] Ending a document

Hi :)
+1
I was kinda agreeing with my last post too.  Just taking the opportunity to "raise the profile" of 
the templates site for anyone that does have a template or such that they don't mind sharing.  It 
doesn't matter if it's really bad because it might just be an inspiration for someone else or be 
the starting point that someone takes a lot further.  I think sometimes people are just a bit shy 
or don't realise that what they think is bad might really help another person get unstuck or learn 
(or might even just be a shed-load better than they realise (as is often the case ime)).  

Regards from
Tom :)
