Re: RE: Version x templates

[Rob Harper <jharper () students ! wisc ! edu>]

Hi Barrie,

try opening the style manual dialog using Format > Style Manual.  My 
guess is that the new templates will be in the "Style Manual" drop-down 
list at the bottom of the dialog, and that when you attempt to use 
them, you'll get a "file not found" message.  If they're not in the 
drop-down list, look for something like "Other customized templates," 
and choose that.  This will give you the option to install the new 
ones, after which they'll appear in the drop-down list, but may not 
work.  

In other words, I think we're grappling with the same problem, but 
we've been getting at it via different routes (File > New vs. Format > 
Style Manual).
