Description Katarina Behrens (Inactive) 2016-04-21 14:44:43 UTC
As per summary, it seems not to be possible to save a spreadsheet as .xltx ( =  a template file in .xlsx format )

I can open a file saved in Excel with .xltx extension and it'll correctly open as a new, untitled document, it's just saving into this format that is missing.

It works with binary .xlt, as well as native .ots and, as far as I can see, it's always been like that (inherited from OOo)

confirmed.

The same applies for dotx, dotm and potx, but not for potm :)

Still no Excel 2007-2019 (macro-enabled template)(*.xltm). More than original issue but was marked as duplicate and closed so incorporated into this issue.

Just to be clear - not expecting to write or run code, just save existing code if workbook template changed. One use case might be edit and save existing macro-enabled spreadsheet as macro-enabled template.

Same functionality is appropriate in other modules, especially Writer, and file type description should be exactly consistent across all modules.

I think this bug need to close as FIXED
Comment 9 flywire 2019-03-04 21:10:37 UTC
Part fix in my opinion since same issue applies to writer and other modules. Do they really have to be listed as individual bugs?
Comment 10 Aron Budea 2019-03-05 04:22:49 UTC
Yes.

FYI:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/64947/ sw: support for saving into .dotx file
Comment 12 flywire 2019-03-05 07:35:34 UTC
Thanks. PowerPoint 2007-2019 Template (*.potx) also implemented - I'm sure neither were there when I initially checked.

Suppose Macro-Enabled Template interface could be enabled in response to Bug 118463.
