Bug ID: 148756
Summary: minor feature
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I'm a new user to LibreOffice and I watched a YouTube video on how to get
started (using version 7.3.2).
The video showed how to set default font to something that would be compatible
with "other" office packages and also how to set the "document type" when
Saving/Loading", this was done for the "Write" application when it was open.
So, I get into "CALC Spreadsheet" app and I try to do the same for it, to
save/load in "xlsx" format, and I could not figure it out for hours (yes, I
know, Im DUMB!)
Each time I opened +Save/Load, the "Document Type" was always "Text" and I just
did not realize that "Document Type" with its "Text" value was just a default
and there is a drop down menu to select "Spreadsheet"!!!
So, my request to improve LibreOffice is"
have the "Document Type" reflect the application that is open and being
currently used, so I have Calc open and I go to the +Save/Load->General, it
should by default show that its "Document Type" is Spreadsheet.
If I have the Impress Presentation app open and use the
Tools->Options->+Save/Load->General, its Document Type should be "Presentation"
by default! The same for the other applications, Writer=Text, Calc=Spreadsheet,
Presentation=Presentation, etc....
This would go a long way to make the product more intuitive.
Of course, if you go to the Tools->Options->+Save/Load page directly from the
main screen (without being in any of the applications, than the default can
remain "Text" and if you're a knowledgeable user, you know to use the drop down
menu to set its type and the how you want that document to be saved.
Thanks,
Pete
