 Um... I'm going to take a wild stab at this and guess that you're asking how to edit a report template using your own styles. If this is not correct, find a translator.
There are two kinds of report documents: A Writer template that defines how the report will be laid out, and a Writer document created from the template and filled with data from the linked database. If you choose "Edit Document" from the context menu of the linked report in Data View, you will create a Writer document from the template, fill it with data, and leave it open for editing. It has exactly the same effect as "Open Document" (Don't ask me why). You will not be editing the original template.
To edit the report template, from the menu choose "File | Templates | Edit..." and open the STW report template file.
I hope you find this of some help.  |

As Llelan D has pointed out the template can be modified, however, there is still a problem with dates - at least I have not found a solution. If the report contains dates from a DB, MySQL in my case, they are converted to integers. Modifying the template so that the table is formatted to date is not persistent - the next time the template is used the format reverts to integer.
Creating the report and then modifying the column to a date format results in garbage for any 'nulls' that existed as they become an incorrect date.
If ayone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Maybe this is obsolete by now, but just in case it's not:
With OOo version 1.1.4 the date format is correctly being put into the report
template now  Unfortunately the problem with nulls is still there 
A null-value is being formatted as 01.01.1900, but if you don't have nulls you
should be alright.
If somebody has any idea how to get around this null-problem too, I could
finally get rid of my StarOffice 5.1 installation which I'm keeping for more than a
year now just because I can't get my reports working properly in OOo.
Regards,
Achim |

Hi,

Yes, this was a bug in all versions from 1.1.0 to 1.1.3. It has also been fixed in the 680 development branch (future V2) in a version soon to be released.

I didn't know about this one. I suspect that this has also already been raised as a bug issue, but I can check on that.
