Description pharder 2003-08-27 23:41:23 UTC 
On all three of our Windows Me machines, I opened the File->Options dialog, 
and selected Paths, in the OpenOffice.org section.  I edited the Templates 
path and added a network directory to the two standard directories already in 
the Templates path.  When I went to Writer's File->New->Templates and 
Documents, the templates in the network directory were not listed in the 
Default folder.  As a workaround, I am able to import templates from a network 
directory, but I want to have the templates for all users automatically update 
whenever I change one of them, without having to reimport them to the users' 
machines.  This problem did not occur in Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP 
Home Edition or Windows XP Pro.

Hi pharder,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

Sorry for delay...

Does the problem occure anymore using a newer version of OOo?
Comment 4 pharder 2004-05-10 15:50:51 UTC 
Wonderful! The problem has gone away.  I'm not really clear on whether the 
machine I tried it on has been updated since I reported the problem with v1.1, 
but I note that with v1.1.0, the problem now does not occur.  I am absolutely 
certain that it was there when I reported it, and I am equally sure that it 
vanished when I tried it recently.  The only thing that I can think of that 
has (probably) changed in the interim is the operating system I'm running on 
the server where I've got all my template files installed.  I was using 
Windows XP for that server, and now I've moved it to FreeBSD with Samba.  It's 
quite possible that the problem was a Microsoft thing, not an OOo thing.

As far as this issue can´t be reproduced, I set it to "worksforme" and close it.
