The file is in the installation folder in share/palette. It contains the 
definitions for dash-styles, e.g.
<draw:stroke-dash draw:name="Fine Dashed" draw:style="rect" 
draw:dots1="1" draw:dots1-length="0.2inch" draw:dots2="1" 
draw:dots2-length="0.2inch" draw:distance="0.2inch"/>
This definition would be included in the document file, in case you use 
a "Fine Dashed" line, when you save it in ODF format.

It would be translated to a custDash element, if you save it to an OOXML 
format, e.g. pptx.

Only for saving to binary MS Office format, e.g. ppt, it is not clear, 
what to do with these dash styles.

Kind regards
Regina
