Hello everybody. Dear user helpers, let's suppose that I use separate main
files for odt and ods works and that I have been working on an xxx.ods file
and then I have closed OOo application. If then I need to work on an xxx.odt
file, when trying to open it, the files that will appear to be chosen will
not be odt files but ods files, because ods was the type of file I have been
working previously. Although I have separate files where I keep ods files
and odt files, I think this happens because this is the philosophy of OOo
itself, as I am not able to tell OOo writer to look for the odt main file
when opening writer application. I think this is the problem that happens
often with people who comes from Microsoft, because there you can "inform"
Word program where to look for Word files. I know a little of OOo, and if
someone tells me I am wrong and that there is a way to solve this matter, I
would became a more happy user of OOo. Regards. Manuel Barros
Hi Manuel,
I am not quite sure what you asking here. OpenOffice.org as well as
Word looks in the "Documents folder" for files. If your using a
different location for different types of documents the you will have to
'browse" for them each time. Under Tools > Options > Paths you can set
the base directory that OpenOffice.org will start in when looking for
documents to open.
The easiest way I have found to open documents is go to the location and
open it from there, as I have documents scattered across several folders
on several disk.
Hope this helps some.
ps. Please start your own thread and not hijack someone else's.
