I would ESPECIALLY like to be able to import my 3,000+ MS-Word 10 documents that are formated (in MS-Word, from a template that works perfectly in MS-Word)

The formatting method of the MS Word documents and the Styles in the ODF templates are not compatible. Importing the styles from an ODF template will not properly re-format your MSO documents.
You must adjust the (most of the) formatting methods manually after converting your documents from MS format to the International Standard Open Document Format (ODF).

Now you have an ODF template
I have a template I created in OOW, saved it as an OTT file. It works properly when I create a NEW document in OOW, but it loses the page size when I assign it to an existing document.
Edit: Just opened your other thread, which is what I missed. You clearly are aware of the wizard, and your issues are partly related to the output from that. So my response here is mere noise to you. I leave it anyway, as a reference for other visitors with similar problems. |
I have tried to upload a file, but the system just spins & spins & spins, then stops without any kind of notice why it did not upload a file.

How you tried it? use the Post Reply button insted of the Quick Reply one. And use the 'Upload attachment' TAB instead of the Copy/Paste (The Copy/Paste of the attachments not work in this forum.)
The file size limit is 128 KiB in this forum. The message about the lager file will be appeared above of the message edit window:
Not sure if the icon means anything.

Do not use Microsoft related image types, like the .bmp and the .wmf. Optimize your pictures before you insert them into a textual document.
Use optimized dpi (max. 200 dpi) with an optimized physical size, and 256 color depth .png files (or optimized .jpg files)

If the page format is changed, the hidden draw objects become unhidden and are placed at the beginning of the document, moving the graphics. This basically means that even if a template is used to change the page size, each document will have to be opened anyway to delete the draw objects.
This is a case where using LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice makes more sense. The Document Converter in LO doesn't create the hidden draw objects and keeps the correct page size after the conversion so no extra work is required to repair the documents after the conversion.
Then I paste the copied section into the recipe file,
I use a free version of Corel PaintShop Pro.
So, if I change my normal template into the page size I want, I should have all my files in that page size, right?
Where is my normal.ott file stored?
