Operation Manual

Choosing options for all of LibreOffice
This section covers some of the settings that apply to all the components of LibreOffice. For
information on settings not discussed here, see the online help.
Click Tools > Options. The list in the left-hand box of the Options – LibreOffice dialog varies
depending on which component of LibreOffice is open. The illustrations in this chapter show the list
as it appears when a Writer document is open.
Click the marker (+ or triangle) by LibreOffice on the left-hand side. A list of pages drops down.
Selecting an item in the list causes the right-hand side of the dialog to display the relevant page.

Note
The Revert button (not shown in the illustration; located in the lower right of the full
Options dialog) has the same effect on all pages of the Options dialog. It resets the
options to the values that were in place when you opened the dialog.
User Data options
Because LibreOffice uses the name or initials stored in the LibreOffice – User Data page for
several things, including document properties (created by and last edited by information) and the
name of the author of comments and changes, you will want to ensure that the correct information
appears here.
