Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing default margins and font for a group of users
As far as I understand I should be able to set the default font and font size in the main.xcd file The only problem is that Im not sure what the format should be... :( I tried the template way. I created a template and copied it to every machine via a script. It does not seem to get used though. I think I need to tell every installation that it should use this file as the default template. How would this be done? Also in the main.xcd file?
