Is there a new user guide template for 26.2 available??? I have the new chapter template downloaded, but cannot find a new template for the User Guide 26.2.

Regards

PeeWee

The Master document templates for the guides are also included with the SanityCheck extension.

  • The Master document templates are availables in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Hello

I have just checked the chapter template LO_UG_Chapters_26_EN and I find that the styles are correct for the first page in the chapter. On checking the master template LO_UG_Master_26_EN the styles for a a new chapter page are different to the chapters template.

Which one is correct???

I opened the templates using File > New > Templates in LibreOffice 26.2.1. No other formatting was carried out.

Regards

PeeWee

Copies of the two templates attached.

PeeWee

Chapter Template.odt (126 KB)

Master Template.odm (442 KB)

I DO NOT understand what you mean by ““the styles for a new chapter page””

  • The “First Page” page style in Both templates has the same margins and the same background image.

You do NOT need to attach the templates.

  • Original, unmodified templates are installed by the SanityCheck extension
    and their names are: LO_UG_Master_26 and LO_UG_Chapters_26 With the prefix corresponding to the interface language

The ODM document you have attached has not been created with the correct template.

  • The correct template for version 26 guides is LO_UG_Master_26_EN.otm

Hello Antonio

What is the correct file number for the new chapter template?

Regards

PeeWee

have you read this?
