I'm really grateful for all your patient help on this.
Yes, I have double clicked my new .oo3templates from the Finder window and they all burst into life.
I then saved them again as oo3template files and was told each time that a file of that name already existed in that file and did I want to replace it. I confirmed and it saved the templates there with their new dates, today, but when I click 'new from template they are still not there in the dropdown menu?!?

I can manage what I want to do from the Finder but I am now very curious as to why it behaves like this.

Thanks again.:confused:
