If using a Mac, Options is under preferences. It is better to change the fonts in the default template(s) you use, but you will have to learn how to use Styles, which are the best way to control formatting in OpenOffice. A good introduction is given in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Writer_for_Students The recycle bin is on your operating system's desktop - it does not form part of OpenOffice - if you reduce the OO window from full screen you may perhaps (depending on sizes and layouts etc) see the Recycle bin. Deletion of documents is best done at system level on your computer. If you do not wish them to show in /File /Recent documents, click on the "clear list" entry at the bottom of that list; however, the documents will still remain on your computer until deleted - as I wrote, best done at system level. However, in OO's file selection dialogs one can select a file and press the Delete key. I do not think there is any recovery from this, which is why it is better to delete files at system level. You can change the file name name of a document by (in OO) "/File /Save as" and giving it a new name. You will now have two files - the new and the old. If you right click on a file at system level, you should be offered a popup which will include Rename file. The online support is offered by OO users on a pro bono basis. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
