Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21672
Rename "File-New-Templates and Documents" to "File-New-From_Template"
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:29 UTC
The choice of selecting a template for a new document by File -> New -> From_Template ... [Template Chooser] was present in previous versions and was very convenient, it seems to have been lost. Even if it is available somewhere else, it was much more convenient here!
In OOo 1.1.0(en) on Win98 it´s still there: > File > New > Templates and Documents (it doesn´t say "From Template", though)
Yes, granted, that is here also [WinXP + OOo 1.1.0-RC]. However, to my simple mind, that says "Go here to create a new template." So, do you confirm?
Only after I´ve understood your issue, which I think I do now: The issue is not about a feature having been dropped but about a feature having a new, misleading name. Set to New, and set to enhancement.
SBA: Adjusted title. Reassigned to Bettina.
Actually, _both_ are appropriate, but they are different user activities. Use Case 1: "I want to design or improve my bizletter templste." Use Case 2: "I want to /use/ my bizletter template and write a letter."
