Just for the records: You can create templates yourself from
within KWord and KPresenter.

In KWord it's Extra -> Create Template Document...

Unfortunately KWord doesn't create a nice default pixmap
(none at all ;), so simply select a small pixmap and add
it to a group. You can also remove templates, create and
remove groups and so on.

If you do it that way you don't even have to press save as
on startup and can create your customized templates and
groups.

Whenever you think you created a very nice template (esp.
for KPresenter) please put it on your web space (or load
it up to

ftp://upload.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming/

and post a mail here. Thank you.
