[Solved] How to "redress" a document in another template?

Post by digisus »

Hello
In earlier versions of Writer, it was possible to have a doument that was written using a template A redone in another template B with only a few (2-3) clicks. I searched the menus for half an hour but was not able to find that function again. Does anybody know where it is hiding? :?

Thanks a lot!

I use the current ubuntu Linux (32bit) with the current OpenOffice.org that ships with it.

Try this. Open your document, press F11 to open the Stylist, click the rightmost icon and select Load Styles, select the template B file, check all boxes and OK out.

And after importing the template B styles, you might have to expect to apply (or find and replace) styles that didn't exist in template A.

That extension seems interesting also: Template Changer.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.
