Copied /Users/James/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org/3/user to
/Users/James/Library/Application Support/libreOffice/3.  Simple copy and paste
command from the right-click menu.

beta 1

When I start beta 1 without an OOo profile I get a different startup picture. 
A window opens offering me Text Document, Spreadsheet, etc, and with an option
bottom right "Templates".  Clicking on this the first time I got a message
saying "Initializing Templates for first time" or similar, and then the
Template window opened with a template I had put there before and forgotten,
called Chinki-template.  This I opened and saved as _Mandarin-template.ott in
the same directory.  I can now open templates either from this opening screen
or from New/Templates, and I see the _Mandarin-template file and can open it.

The problem may be the fact that I have copied over my entire OOo profile,
including that OOo opens with a text document and not this window showing all
the choices.

I will now copy over all my templates from the previous profile, instead of
copying over the entire profile and see what happens.  Later:  I can see them
all and open both those that begin with a _ and those that begin with a letter.

So the problem lies somewhere else in the OOo profile, possibly that I
configured OOo to start with a default document.
