[users] Change paragraph returns to soft returns
How can one change all the paragraph returns to soft returns (shirt-return) in a selection? I know that I need to use a regular expression, but I don't know the symbols for paragraph return and soft return.

Having investigated a bit further, I think I have found the solution to John's issue. This worked for me, your mileage may vary. * It may not be essential, bit I suggest closing OOo and Quickstarter first. * Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates\ and rename the file soffice.odt (eg. soffice.xxx). * Copy the template you have set as your default from C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\template to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates\ and rename it soffice.odt Apologies for the previous misinformation.

Dave, FYI, Windows XP does have a 'right click context' menu option "New" which allows you to "create" a document. These range from Bitmap Image to Zip files. I do not know where XP gets the defaults but the option is there, though I have never found any use for the "feature" -- Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

It sounds like you are either: * Going to the file manger and opening an existing document which is already formatted. * Not completing step 4: "Choose File > Templates > Organize, browse to your new template, and click Commands > Set As Default Template" Try opening Writer from the "Start" menu, or the "Quickstarter" tray icon. If you have actually set your default template, the new document will have your formatting.

Hi, do anyone have any idea what impact the sale of SUN to Oracle has for OpenOffice.ORG? How much of the development of the OOO is done by SUN employees? Is it possible to fork OOO if need arises? I am not much of a programmer but would like to inspect OOO code someday. Where to get documentation of the code (if such exist)?

[users] Setting Defaults - Documented Method does NOT work
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to set the defaults for a new document. Mostly I'm trying to make the page size "Letter" instead of "A4" but the same issue exists for changing margins. The procedure documented on: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingPagesAndDocuments/How_can_I_change_the_default_Page_Style_margins,_so_that_when_I_start_a_new_document_the_margins_will_be_1_inch%3F Does NOT work. After I do that, then in Windows File Manager I right click and let it create a new blank document and it still is the old settings. How do I set the *master* default settings for new documents? - John Wright - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
