OK, took the plunge and installed 3.0 on Ubuntu Hardy x86_64. There are a few
issues I can't figure out.
First, when I launch OOo I get a splash screen asking me what kind of document I want. I use Calc, Impress, Draw and Base about one time out of a thousand and 999 times out of a thousand I want Writer. How do I disable this so that when I launch Writer it just automatically launches Writer?
Second, when I close OOo Writer it does not save the size and position of the
window. Every time I launch OOo I have to drag the window to the correct size
for my display and personal taste. OOo 2.4.1 automatically saved the last
window size and position when I exited the program. Is there a button to fix
this so it saves the window size and position? If so, where did they hide it?
Or is this a bug?
Third, although I told it to migrate my settings from 2.4.1, it failed to
migrate a lot of things. For example, I had to go in and recreate the default
document template. Also none of my toolbar settings were saved. This is not too
big a deal - both are easily recreated, but I can't get rid of the
right-to-left and left-to-right icons on the formatting toolbar. In the
customizing window they are deselected, but the icons are still on the toolbar.
I got rid of all the other unwanted icons, but these two persist. Is this a bug?
Add one more problem, this one a show-stopper. It failed to migrate any of my
macros. I have a lot of them and they took me a very long time and lots of work
to create. How can I get my macros from OOo 2.4.1 into OOo 3.0?
Your macros went away? It should have migrated them auto-magically...
Step 1: Determine where your old macros are stored. Probably someplace
like (assuming windows) C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.24\user\basic
Step 2: Open the macro organizer
Step 3: Click on the libraries tab
Step 4: Import each library of interest.
