Hi Ian,

I cannot understand why this is not working for you. The simple one time
method of creating a default Calc template described in my previous
email works perfectly for me and 14 others here all using PCLinuxOS and
LO version 5.3.0.3

My guess is the problem is either an issue with your user profile, or
something else in your setup that we are not picking up from your
description.

Try directly opening the attached sample template and you should see a
single sheet with Bold 14pt. Liberation Serif font. If not there is
something "adrift" in your setup.

Regards
Dave
