What is the location of OpenOffice.org templates in Linux?

Question

I'd like to install some presentation templates, but don't know where to put them...

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths and select the Templates line. There you can click "edit" and see the paths that it uses to search for templates.

Answer 2

/usr/lib/openoffice/share/template/

That's on a Debian Lenny/testing. You can find them by typing

locate .ots

in a console (ots being the extension of OOo templates)

Answer 3

It is not recommended to place templates in /usr/lib/openoffice/... because the contents of that folder can be altered automatically through the process of Debian package management. For site-wide installation I created the folder "/usr/local/share/templates/ooo2/common", placed templates in there, then added the path to the set of paths mentioned above.
