Comment 47 for bug 372132

It is very heartening to see this discussion continue. I assumed from some of the responses that a decision in this regard had been reached, and the umpires decision was final. Not so!

To the point, and as an early commenter on this I agree wholeheartedly with Lonnie: 2009-11-12 and that viewpoint: that the links in 'create document' launch a template from the respective application, from which a file may be created and saved anywhere that the user chooses. These templates can be customised to the users preferences or style sheet thus enriching the whole task. Note that the template 'itself' cannot be saved or altered via 'create document', but merely provide a canvas or starting point, i.e open office.tmp, save as 'resume.odt' in /home/user/Documents
