Apparently not. 

In OO 2.4 I go to   File>New>Templates and Documents   and a pop-up appears.  The choices there are   New Documents, Templates, My Documents, and Samples.    If I click on Templates I see a  single Invoice selection available.

I also do not see a  File>New>Documents  pull down, as someone else reported.  I see Text Document,  HTML Document, XML Document and Master Document under the New entry.  I also see no references to "Biz Documents"

This is the Fedora version of v2.4, I've not loaded the OO version.  Perhaps there is a difference there.  This is also a former F8 machine that was upgraded using preupgrade.  Maybe there is something from a previous version lingering.


If any one can tell me how to determine if I have any other packages loaded for OO  I'll be glad to investigate but rpm did not show anything and I haven't found a place to identify plugins or add ons in any of the menus selections.

I think this thread is stepping past usefulness, at this point, but we can carry on if anyone _really_ needs to get to the bottom of this.
