The options you changed is only for inside libreoffice. It is used when you save a new document you're currently editing.
If you're using Right click->new->text document from outside, like in the windows explorer, it's not taken into account. Instead it use an empty template file set-up during the libreoffice installation. This mean that when you open it this way, it's not a "new" document, since windows already created it from an .odt file. If that's your case, use the new function from inside LibreOffice (File menu->new) or look for a way to add a .doc template to your system new menu (for example in windows, you can put an empty .doc file in the C:\Windows\ShellNew folder to do so). -- Cley Faye 2012/2/6 Rafael Shemesh <shemes...@gmail.com> > Hello, i tried to set save as by default the .doc type, but it's not > working for me. > Steps: > Tools>Options>Load and Save>General> > Default file format and ODF settings.. > Document type > Text document > Always save as > Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 > Ok.. > But when i create a new text document file it's created as .ODT. > > Steps of creating new file.. > Right mouse click >NEW> New text document..
