My problem is that I want a smaller window for my spreadsheet, which I can easily get by resizing, but it's annoying to have to do something that used to automatically work. It still works if I have some other LO window open, like a LO writer document, or if there's no other LO window open. > Alternatively, if your desktop environment allows you to define the > command line for applications opened from an icon or menu, set the geometry > parameter to the desired window size.

I have different spreadsheets and writer documents that want to be different sizes. LO knows about them, and usually does the right thing. So, what I'll look for is if there's a way to change the default window with no document specified. I have no use for the collection of previously worked on documents, so I'll see if there's some way to turn that feature off. Thanks for the thoughts. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
