Re: [libreoffice-users] template paths

Hi :)
The wiki-guide should give the link to all three and to the distro that uses a non-standard path.  
(there's always 1 that has to be different).  Luckily someone else pointed out that from inside 
LibreOffice the menu system is different in Apples.  In both Windows and Gnu&Linux you can do 

Tools - Options - Path
but OS X is different.  



To quote Tink (but re-arranged a little jic that makes it easier to see instead of just messing it 
up)
"
For OS X Paths
Applications - Libre Office 

then Right click to: 

Show Contents - Contents - Share - Templates

BTW. OS X Options are in LibreOffice Preferences, you will find Templates
under Paths.

I think Dan and someone (Alex?) pointed this out earlier in the thread too.  


In my last post i said something about Apple people not coming here much.  One of my worries is 
that they are getting their help&support from some other place that may be completely clueless 
about LibreOffice.  It would be better if they came here to reach people that do know a lot about 
LO;  people such as Regina, Dan, Brian, Alex, Joel and all the rest.  If they are going to the 
AskLO bot then that is fine as there are excellent people there too.  The problem would only be if 
they were using some 3rd party site that doesn't even point them anywhere here at all and has a 
standard answer of recommending MSO or AOO or NeoOffice instead of really being able to help them.  

Not everyone here knows the different route into the Options dialogue-box but as we have seen there 
are enough people to correct that blunder and then the rest of the complexity of the answer is the 
same on all 3 main platforms and even on BSD too.  


Regards from 

Tom :)
