Re: [libreoffice-users] Assigning templates to files

Me too!

This is especially true when you  have to finalize a large document 
created in a collaborative context. Using styles and templates, 
including the ability to assign a template to an existing document, can 
save a lot of time.

Keeping this type of function helps to promote the use of styles and 
templates: when you show a co-worker how to modify the global formatting 
of a large document in 3 clicks...

Best regards,
