Re: [libreoffice-users] Setting default template

Hi :)
The published official guides are much better
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

The in-built help (at least the English version of it) is not always completely up to date or 
accurate.  The international translators team work at it before translating it and i don't think 
their version is the one we get.  There is something mighty odd going on there which i've never 
understood
Regards from 
Tom :)
