Is there some reason Impress does not have any templates? There are a couple *.sti files in these directories.. /usr/lib/openoffice/share/template/english/layout/ /usr/lib/openoffice/share/template/english/presnt/ but they don't show up anywhere in oo.. I created a directory /usr/lib/openoffice/share/template/english/impress/ and copied several impress templates I got from oo.org into it but that didn't work either... Any ideas???
