Hi all!

Just subscribed, so if this was answered in an earlier thread, my
apologies.  Didn't see anything obvious via Google.

Had problems opening some documents under the version 1.9 provided by
Breezy, so I just updated my machines to Dapper.  Version 2.0 is now
opening my documents fine - which is cool!

But now my templates are no longer available.  I verified that my
template directory was set under Tools/Options/Paths just as before -
but my templates are no longer visible in the organizer.

I can still manually browse to the templates and create documents from
them - but that's not the way it's supposed to work!

Just an idea: you might need to run the document convesion wizard on
your templates.  Since OOo2's default format is now OpenDocuments,
your older templates could just be hiding.

The wizard is in the file menu.

Don't forget to backup first, just in case :)

I'm already using the new format. My Windoze-based 2.0 installs work fine - and the 1.9 linux is also working. Weird.

Normally any change in the templates directory causes OpenOffice.org to refresh itself - but now these 2.0 machines no longer seem to view the template directory.
