I think from memory the number of files can be reset... but am not sure. > as I am not able to tell OOo writer to look for > the odt main file when opening writer application. This "main" file sounds like the Microsoft "Normal.dot" file which does not exist in Writer. But if you read up on styles and templates you can set any template to load as the default template. You can open the templates folder where you have a selection of "default" files for letters, memos and invoices for example. You did not say which version of OO.o you are running on so i cannot give a more specific link to the relevant docs: http://documentation.openoffice.org/ > 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. In OO.o there are several paths that can be set in the "Tools - Options... OpenOffice.org - Paths" Menu, including where you find documents. > 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.
