Thanks for that info. I have looked at /user but don't really know what
I should be looking for. 2.0 had a /user folder in /opt/.openoffice.
It contained Auto Correct, Auto Text, Backup. Config and Templates. As
/opt is not writable by user there were no backups and trying to use
/template/save naturally generated an error. The path statement pointed
to /home/OpenOffice/user but there was no user folder in /home. I
created one and added Autocorrect, etc. It then usually but not always
did a backup and I could save templates. There were other config files
in odd places under /opt. Some were blank, some appeared to relate to
menus and toolbars and one was a bau file. I don't know what bau is or
how to read it so that may be what I should have looked at. I can't now
check because installing 2.1 over wrote OpenOffice in both /opt and
/home. 2.1 has a user folder in home but not opt. It contains, guess
what, auto correct, etc. The path statement refers to autocorrect,
autotext, backup and templates and the default location to save files.
It does not mention config. In both 2.0 and 2.1 config is blank. I
cannot find any other config files in 2.1. I do not think Tools ->
Options is in fact saving anywhere but I may be wrong.
Maybe I should go back to 1.1.5. It has the difficulties with styles
that appear to be a constitutional problem with all OpenOffice versions
but at least I can usually make it do what I want even though it often
involves blood, toil, tears and sweat. However, that's computers.

Hi Alaric,
You do realise that the /home/ files are in a "hidden" directory, using
.openoffice.org2/ in my current installation (gentoo, but I used to run
Mandriva)?
I use KDE and one can set konqueror to "Show hidden files" I'm not sure
about under gnome.

Now that is an interesting one. I have Konqueror set to show hidden
files but I checked with Filerunner and Konqueror doesn't show them Now
I will have to read all the files in config and see if I can find the
right one.
Thanks.
Alaric
