Re: [libreoffice-users] Managing Templates in Writer

Didn't even know about this one.  Have to admit that although I've had 
35+ years in the software world (mostly in data base design, data 
modeling, and quality assurance), when it comes to LibreOffice I'm just 
a plain old user and don't know about everything that's out there!

Yes, thanks, I got the problem solved (see my message sent just before 
yours).
