I'm using OO 2.0rc2, on Mandrake 10.0.
I had it set that F4 brought up the "Save As" dialogue.
Yesterday, this stopped working.
I went into customization, and tried to reset it. I called up the Help
screen, but I couldn't make the customization work according to what the
Help manual said.
Anybody give me any help?
It seems to me that this F4 setting was transferred over from 001.1.4,
because I know I didn't have any problem resetting it when I started
with 002.0.
Perhaps this is a topic of interest to no one else but me. However, I
have been trying, off and on, to get myself a Save As key. Right now,
it says that the Save As key is Ctl-F3. However, if I hit that key, all
that happens is that my machine switches to a different window.
This happens whatever key I change this function to.
F3, which is pre-set for Delete Row, gives an error message of "AutoText
for Shortcut '-----' not found."
I have searched Google with no result.
IIRC, you use KDE and that key sequence changes windows so you will have
to configure OOo to use another set of keys. Tools > Configure/Customize
and the Keyboard tab should be all you need. Find an unused set and set
that to Save As.
Thanks very much. As I'm sure you've heard me say, I use my computer
mostly for writing, and much of the inner workings are still a mystery
to me.
As soon as you said that F3 was a KDE function, it made sense, and if
I'd been looking at more than OpenOffice, I should have seen it myself;
it wasn't that OO was reading something wrong, it was that KDE
pre-empted that set of keystrokes.
Thanks for your patience. I'm sure this information is somewhere in the
FM. (:))
