LibreOffice 3.6 Writer Guide - The Document Foundation Wiki

Choosing options for Writer that affect all LibreOffice
components
This section covers some of the settings that apply to all the components of LibreOffice and are
particularly important when using Writer. Other general options are discussed in Chapter 2, Setting
Up LibreOffice, in the Getting Started guide.
Click Tools > Options. The list on the left-hand side of the Options – LibreOffice dialog box varies
depending on which component of LibreOffice is open. The illustrations in this chapter show the list
as it appears when a Writer document is open.
Click the expansion symbol (+ sign or triangle) by LibreOffice on the left-hand side. A list of pages
drops down. Selecting an item in the list causes the right-hand side of the dialog box to display the
relevant page.
Note
User Data options
The Revert button (located in the lower right of the full Options dialog box) has the
same effect on all pages of the Options dialog box. It resets options to the values that
were in place when you opened the dialog box.
Because Writer uses the name or initials stored in the LibreOffice – User Data page for several
things, including document properties (created by and last edited by information) and the name of
the author of comments and changes, you will want to ensure that any information which appears
here is correct.
Information here is also used by default in the sender details of mailing creations.
Fill in the form or amend or delete any existing incorrect information.
General options
The options on the LibreOffice – General page are described below.
