Hi :) Ahhh, that's where it is. It's never made any kind of sense to me either.
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - User Data is the right place, i think. Still, it doesn't need all field to be filled in apparently and even just any 1 field with about 1 word is plenty. Thanks Girvin! Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Girvin R.
