    Hmm, I like it!

    Also there is the checkbox "Always use this template". When you check it, don't you get then what you proposed - always opening directly as a blank doc?

    I love OpenSource. It's the superior way of getting things done with a number of intelligent beings.

    If the "always use this template" checkbox does what I think it does, it should be labeled "always use this template on startup" or so.

    On the menu on the left, there is:

    Recent Documents
    Blank Document
    Cards and Labels
    Envelopes
    Custom Document

    If by "Blank Documents" it's meant to create a new document with no template, why is there a Memorandum template inside it?

    One way of solving it, would be to have something like this:
    Recent Documents
    Blank Document
    Office Documents *
    Cards and Labels
    Envelopes
    Custom Document

    This way, Blank Document allways gives a blank 1-page file. Office Documents would have the templates for memorandums, business letters, etc.

    Non-business templates could be also categorized in new categories: like Home Documents, etc..

    On the right, after Blank Document is chosen, an icon for it is shown with some text and a button, like:

    [ICON]
    Blank Page
    [BUTTON]Use this Template

    Wouldn't it be easier to grasp if it was like:

    [ICON]
    Blank Page
    [BUTTON]Create new Document

    but this would give problems when creating new envelopes, and the button talking about Documents. But it could look like this:

    [ICON]
    Blank Page
    [BUTTON]Create new Blank Page Document

    but this could make a giant button... What about just "Create New"?

    In fact, the fact that this screen's purpose is to create a new document is not very apparent, and only is told as such in the description for the chosen template, like:
    "Create a blank US Letter document"
