====================================================== From: John Jason Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 10:47 PM To: OpenOffice.org Users Subject: Adapting to 3.0
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? ====================================================== John, if you are using KDE, then the advanced options available using a rt-mouse click on the titlebar will enable you to set the window size and position. I realize that is a probably a "work-around" since, like you, I want the application to remember both the window position and size. Just remember that if you do set it using the KDE advanced options that the instructions you have given to the window manager will over-ride anything that the program tries to do with the window. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
