Ok, these are convincing reasons for the need of this functionality which I
asked for in comment 60. As I didn't use document templates yet, I had no
experience with those situations.
I will continue to work an a solution, which in my case can only be an
extension. I already could make the old template changer extension work again
in my installation by changing some variable names which obviously have been
changed in some version of LibO. But I also want to expand the scope to the
other document types in LibO, because I don't think the restriction to Writer
is crucial, and to add the feature to not only cut the coupling to a template,
but even erase the information that it once was linked, which is still being
kept when one has denied the question to transfer the changed formatting to the
document. The question for that posed by a user was the reason I started to
look into this subject.
I don't know yet whether I will be able to change the old extension or to
create a new one.
