            Bug ID: 128215
           Summary: Help Texts “Changing the Default Template” and
                    “Changing Default Templates” are not Correct
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

In order to reproduce the Bug:

[1] Open help page “Changing the Default Template”: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/swriter/guide
/template_default.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3155913 
[2] Perform the steps listed in the help page in order to create a new default
template.

These are the differences between the help page and the Writer behaviour:
(1) Step 3: The dialogue “Save as Template” is displayed and not a “New
template box”.
(2) Step 4: There is no dialogue, that appears.
(3) Step 4: “My Templates” is not a folder, it's a category.
(4) Step 4: A single click of “My Templates” is sufficient.
(5) Step 4: You are not prompted to insert a further name.
(6) Step 6: “My Templates” is a category and not a folder.
(7) Step 6: “My Templates” is selected via a drop down menu and not with a
double-click.
(8) Step 7: A single click is not sufficient. You have to open the context menu
with a right-click. Then you can select “Set as Default”.
(9) Step 8: There is no Close button. You have to close the dialogue with
Cancel (??!!).

The help page “Changing Default Templates” is also not correct:
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/guide/standard_template.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3154285

These are the differences between the help page and the Writer behaviour:
(1) Step 1: It is not mentioned that you have to insert a template name.
(2) Step 3: A single click of “My Templates” in the drop-down menu is
sufficient.
(3) Step 3: You do not see all the user-defined templates in the user directory
('folder' is more correct). You only see templates which are saved with “File >
Templates > Save as Template” or if a template is imported by the import
function of the template manager.
(4) Step 4: First you have to open the context menu in order to set the
template as default.

And another mistake in this help page: If you save a template with a save
dialogue in the templates folder you can't access the template with the
template manager. First you have to import the template into the template
manager.

Furthermore in both pages a hint is missing how the default template is reset:
This is also done with the context menu of the current default template.
