Still the same problem with LibreOffice Writer 4.0.0.3-1.mga3

Still the same problem with LibreOffice Writer 4.0.2.1-1.mga3

I can save a template but I can't set it to be used when opening a new document and the help for organizing templates still says:

/quote
Template Management
Opens the Template Management dialog where you can organize templates and define default templates.

To access this command... 
Choose File - Templates - Organize
quote/

but the Templates option does not exist in the "File" menu.

Solved:

It's the help information for template organisation that is wrong.

LibreOffice Version 4 has a different method for organising templates that is not documented in the help information, it still shows the method for Version 3 builds. (Has the help file information been updated for V4 ?)

The new method is shown here:

I will mark this bug report as resolved.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
