--- Comment #61 from Gerhard Weydt <gerhard.weydt at t-online.de> ---
After two or three days since I posted my comment I think it might sound a bit
harsh.
In fact I am thinking about providing a new solution for this problem, which
will certainly not be completely differing from Template Changer.
This extension has, as far as I now see, some shortcomings, e.g. the
restriction to Writer, the cause of which I do not understand at the moment, my
first tests were done in Calc and did work, and - as it seems - the assumption
of always changing all files of a directory with certain extensions - , but the
problem, that it no longer works, is obviously only due to the renaming of some
LibO variables, I made it work in a test case by changing them.
I still think that there is not so much need for the functionality, so I'm not
sure yet whether I will supply an extension with a menu entry in LibO or a
simple document that includes a macro to be started from there (which
nevertheless could probably be easily copied to MyMacros, although).
In any case I will only set all relevant information concerning the new
template, leaving the changing of the formatting to LibO which will prompt for
it when the document is opened for the next time (there's some meddling with
numbering styles in Template Changer which I do not understand); I think that
is the only feasible way to add a function in this quite complex situation,
leaving to LibO to do the work.
I'll post a message here when the "extension" is published.
