How does one get rid of unwanted templates? I downloaded Open Office's templates and they had alot of German templates and I liked to get rid of them and the directories they in from my template menu.
Been driving me nuts.... any help will be greatly appreciated..

Re: Deleting Templates
Have you tried File>Templates>Organize and to delete them?

Once you're in the organizer, expand the folder, right click on the template and delete it or just hit the delete button.

Re: Deleting Templates
Thanks again but when I right click I don't get a delete option. Import, export, printer settings and make default are all I see.

What OS? GNU/Linux? (you should update your profile so that it appears under your avatar).
I don't have the possibility to delete them if they're in the installation folder (for all users) [on my xubuntu box]. To remove them, I've to run OOo as root.

Thanks for the suggestion I did update my profile. I use windows xp and presently using the beta version of 3.0. I sorry but I do not understand what OO as root means...

Re: Deleting Templates
OOo as root is something for *NIX users.
Have you admin rights on your machine? Can you post a screenshot of the templates window (see here: How to attach a document here)?
