Path 3 = C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\template Path 2 = C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates Path 1 = C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates To save a lot of repetitive typing I need to note the following three paths that are crucial to explaining the problem and its solution: Most of the instructions I give are taken from the two webpages: What follows is step-by-step how I managed this. Okay, I found a way to do this and to get back to OpenOffice's own default template if the user wants to undo the changes made. How do I switch back to using Writer's default template? I want to learn how to do this, switching between default templates, in case I run into difficulties in the future. If in the "Template Management" window I double-click the "My Templates" folder then it opens to show that only my "English UK Default" template is shown - nowhere do I see anything that gives any indication as to what and where is Writer's default template. The Reset Default Template option just doesn't show up at all - so I can't even get that far, there is a choice of nothing at all. When I click on the Command button and get the drop-down options I get no option Reset Default Template > Text Document. What I discovered was that I couldn't do this at all. Following the instructions for doing this " Resetting Writer’s Default template as the default" in the first link shown above. Having done that I then thought I would like to try switching back to Writer's built in default template. OpenOffice Wiki - Setting a Default Template I did all this via the instructions at the following webpages: Then I created a new document using the right-click method described above, double-clicked to open it, and, lo and behold, the new document opened with language set as English (UK). Having done that I then set "English UK Default" template as the default template. Following from that created a new document set the language to English (UK) and then saved this a my "English UK Default" template. I looked at the information in the link you provided. Is it possible, when creating a new document via right-click method as described above, to have that new document automatically be assigned to the default language (in my case "English (UK)")? Is there a setting anywhere that would make this so? When using the right-click method of creating a new document why does this language issue occur when that document is opened in Writer? It seems to me inconsistent that two ways of creating a new document provide different results in this regard. To get the language to change to "English (UK)" I need to click on the "" and select "English (UK)". However, if I double-click that document then when it opens in Writer the status bar shows the language to be "". However, if I right-click on a Windows Explorer window and select New > OpenDocument Text then a "New OpenDocument Text.odt" file is created in that Explorer window. Fine this is what I would want the default to be for a new document. If I look at the status bar, very bottom of the Writer window, then it shows the document language to be (in my case) "English (UK)". If I launch Writer from the Windows Start Menu then it opens a (new) document as "Untitled 1 - OpenOffice Writer". ![]()
