I mean that it could be used as a workaround: instead of trying to change the
template of the existing document:

1. create a new document associated with the required template
2. replace the contents of the new document with the contents of the old
document (Select All > Cut > Paste).

I'm not going to say that this workaround is really good.

* First of all, it's not very quick and intuitive.
* Also, the meta-information will be lost (File > Properties > Description).

These two pitfalls weren't visible for me when I posted my previous message.
And therefore I was sure that the described workaround is much better. Now I
changed my mind.

Yes, you are correct. I mean that in this case the template should be launched
using general-purpose file manager.
