User andr55 changed the following: What |Old value |New value ================================================================================ Summary|Unable to change program d|need general method to cha |efaults |nge all program defaults -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Additional comments from and...@openoffice.org Sun Jan 11 18:30:09 +0000 2009 ------- Thanks for your response, Regina. My request was for a general method for changing program defaults for the spreadsheet. I now realise that templates do adresse much of the problem (thanks to your information), but as you mention, not all. So effectively this gives a third option for solution : 3) Make all default options not currently settable in templates settable in templates. (To provide a solution with a default template.) My given suggestions and examples are just that. The problem of a general method for changing program defaults remains. True, it MAY require a lot of work, but I suspect a lot less than it might seem at first. After all, these defaults must be initialised either 1) when a new document is created or 2) when an existing document is loaded Certain defaults, such as the default column width, are currently always initialised the same. This all can be rationalised -- and I suspect without a great degree of difficulty (for a programmer familiar with the internals of Openoffice, of course). So I respectfully resubmit this issue for reconsideration. Note : I'm changing the title from "unable to change program defaults" to "need general method to change all program defaults" in order to clarify the issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
