 Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 1:59 pm Post subject: Where to put impress templates? |
|
Hi,
I have been enjoying NO for a while now, but was slightly disappointed with the standard two templates in Impress. I have found some very nice ones on the Internet, but for some reason they don't show up in Impress even though I have copied them to the same location as the originals (somehwere in the NeoOffice package)
Where do I put them so I can use them as Impress templates?
Thanks! |

Have you tried putting them in your ~/library/preferences/NeoOffice-2.x/ folder? Or just putting them somewhere and specifying the path to your templates in the preferences dialog in NeoOffice.
(although I might be thinking in too simplistic terms now..)
Best wishes,
Oscar

I am away from my Mac right now,
1. but I think that the path could be found by going into Preferences -> Paths (or something like that) and checking out what directory IMPRESS -> Templates are read from
2. or Maybe just IMPORT the templates, the SAVE them as TEMPLATES??

I have tried /library/preferences/NeoOffice-2.x/ and that didn't work. The path-settings do not contain a field for the path of templates.
I haven't tried the importing thing yet, will do so now.. |

I think that you have to place your templates in the folder
~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-2.x/user/template
( ~/ is your home folder )
To open a template
File -> New -> Templates and Documents |

Well, yeah, there is a templates subfolder in there somewhere that you need. I guess that will teach me to assume things as obvious..
Good luck and thanks to jgd for correcting me.
best wishes,
Oscar

I had already tried that and indeed it does work. However, I don't understand why the templates still refuse to show up in the 'new presentation' wizard. |

Note that they're also organized by language, I believe. For example, the default two Impress tempaltes are located in the following folder within the application:
/Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/share/template/en-US/presnt/
I do not know how to add new ones myself, but perhaps that may be of help in some fashion or another.

Do they show up when you go to File>Templates>Organize? There is also the import option available under Command. |

Can you try this:
File -> Templates -> Organize -> My Templates
Then click on Commands -> Import Template in the drop down menu. Choose your template, click Open and close the Template Management window.
To open your templates:
File -> New -> Presentation
Click on From Template
then in the drop down menu choose My Templates instead of Presentations and you should be able to see your templates.
Good luck  |
