Hello!
We have a problem on a system which runs Ubuntu 8.04 for many users. Our
default paper size is A4, not letter. But OpenOffice always sets the
paper size for a new document to letter.
What can I try next? Did I understand LC_PAPER wrong or is this a bug in
OpenOffice?
Is your default document template set to letter or A4?
From the help file:
Modifying Default Templates
First, open either an existing OpenOffice.org template and modify it, or open a new document and
edit it as necessary to create the desired template.

You can define a document template for each OpenOffice.org module. The following describes how to
proceed for text documents.
1.Save the document by choosing File - Templates - Save and saving the document in the My Templates
category.
2.Choose File - Templates - Organize.
3.Double-click My Templates in the list on the left. You will see the user-defined templates in the
user directory specified under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Paths. Select the template you
have just saved and open the context menu or open the submenu of the Commands button.
4.Choose Set As Default Template. The next time you open a new text document, the new document will
be based on the new default template.
