Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing default margins and font for a group of users

 Carl ,

With the joined code you can make the wanted "NewWritterTemplate.ott" 
working

Hope it helps

Fernand

Sub set_new_writerTemplate()
 GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("myTools")
     sNode = 
"org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/com.sun.star.text.TextDocument"
     sProperty = "ooSetupFactoryTemplateFile"
     '*****OPGELET***** the file must been in the  Template directory ! 
'moet in een TEMPLATE-directorie staan, anders werkt het NIET*****
      sValue = "file:///t:/template/tools/New_WriterTemplate.ott"
     setOOoSetupValue(sNode, sProperty, sValue)
 End Sub

 Function setOOoSetupValue(sNodePath$, sProperty$, sValue$) as boolean
 on error goto exitErr
 Dim bReturn as Boolean, xconfig, xAccess
 dim aArgs(0) as  Object
  dim aPropValue as new  com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
     xconfig = 
createunoservice("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider")
     aPropValue.Name = "nodepath"
     aPropValue.Value = sNodePath '"org.openoffice.Office.Linguistic"
     aArgs(0) = aPropValue
     xAccess = 
xconfig.createinstanceWithArguments("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess",aArgs())
     xAccess.setPropertyValue(sProperty, sValue)
     xAccess.commitchanges
     bReturn = True
 exitErr:
     setOOoSetupValue = bReturn
 End Function
 Function getOOoSetupValue(sNodePath$,sProperty$)
 Dim aConfigProvider, oNode, args(0) As new 
com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
     aConfigProvider = 
createUnoService("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider")
     args(0).Name = "nodepath"
     args(0).Value = sNodePath
     oNode = 
aConfigProvider.createInstanceWithArguments("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess", 
args())
 getOOoSetupValue = oNode.getbyname(sProperty)
 End Function
