Good evening The other day I "upgraded" the OpenOffice 3.01 that came with Ubuntu 9.04 to 3.2. (THAT was a difficult birth!)
Because that did not went automatically by simply clicking an installer icon etc., I created (had to) a directory I called "openoffice" into which I unpacked all the files. After lots of trouble I finally succeeded and the software is working. Problem: Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Paths ** it says here, that the path(s) to autocorr, gallery, autotext, template etc. is something like: /home/thomas/.openoffice.org/3/user/template (template = example) That is nice, but when I tried to create a template and save it in this directory, tells me, there is no such directory or file. I tried to search (nautilus -> Ctrl+F; browse the relevant directories manually etc.) for it, but cannot find it ANYWHERE! (View -> show hidden files = ON) I have OOo32 installed under Windows too. THERE I can find, edit, browse etc. the relevant directories. Now, is there a particular reason, why I have to deal with ghost directories under Linux? In order to save the template I created, I had to create a new directory (named "templates"; under "openoffice"). When I tried to edit the paths to templates with this new name, I was given the choice between "add" or "delete". I added the path to that new directory and marked it as default. Yet, in the window with the path setting it now reads: /home/thomas/.openoffice.org/3/user/template; home/thomas/openoffice/templates Since the first half of this nice, long path cannot be found anyway ... Should I maybe first choose "delete" that old default pathway? thank you.
