OpenOffice/StarOffice Apache OO4 for OSX

Just downloaded and installed this.  All my history is gone (I can live with this) but, more important, all my templates are gone.

How do I get them back?  I went into my library and under open office, copied the '3' directory [which still had all my stuff] as '4' but no joy.

It's because I didn't know the [non-existent] instructions for the installation.  The first time I dragged the app from the dmg to the applications folder - thereby bypassing the screen that asked if i wanted to migrate.  Started over and ran the installation process, did the migration, and then moved it to applications.

It still didn't migrate my recent documents history, but that's a minor issue.

All these is registered on the xml's of the suite, not only on the
filesystem. This means that just because there is a ott on the
~/.openoffice/3/...templates/ folder, doesnt mean is registered by the
software.

I am a bit surprised the settings werent migrate during the
installation however.
