            Bug ID: 135977
           Summary: Rename and Reorder Template Menu to make it more
                    intuitive.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: f.thaler at posteo.net

Description:
To improve the user-friendliness, I suggest the following:

Reorder the Template menu (the three options that show up when you go on File
-> Templates), so that 'Manage Templates' is the first option. 
Additionally, it should be renamed to something similar to 'Use Template' or
'Document from Template'. Maybe, the best option is to switch the naming of
'Manage Templates' and 'Open Template'.

Why?
POSITION: If we think about which option is most used, when regularly using LO,
it will be the currently named 'Manage Templates', because a user will most
likely actually use templates than create or open new ones. Therefore,
navigating to the most used option should be facilitated by placing that option
at the top. This would also show new users, that this is the option, they are
(most likely) searching for.
'Open Template' being at the top implies that this is the main option to
choose. When users click on it, nice, a template opened. They work with it and
once they save, they will just have overwritten their template and have no idea
where to find their document.

NAMING: Unless I have overlooked something major, 'Manage Templates' is the
main option to create a new document, based on a template. Unfortunately,
'Manage Templates' doesn't reflect this feature at all. 'Manage Templates'
sounds like "Edit & Reorder Templates". Which is really confusing to new users.

To recap:
1. Place 'Manage Templates' on the top of the three options [Manage Template,
Open Template, Save as Template]
2. Rename 'Manage Templates' with a term, which more closely reflects it's most
common use: making a document from the basis of a template.

Actual Results:


Expected Results:



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
