Operation Manual

Paths options
On the LibreOffice – Paths page, you can change the location of files associated with, or used by,
LibreOffice to suit your working situation. In a Windows system, for example, you might want to
store documents by default somewhere other than My Documents.
To make changes, select an item in the list shown in Figure 19 and click Edit. On the Select Path
dialog (not shown; may also be titled Edit Paths), add or delete folders as required, and then click
OK to return to the Options dialog. Note that some items can have at least two paths listed: one to
a shared folder (which might be on a network) and one to a user-specific folder (normally on the
user’s personal computer).
Tip
You can use the entries on the LibreOffice – Paths page to compile a list of files,
such as those containing AutoText, that you need to back up or copy to another
computer.

Color options
On the LibreOffice – Colors page, you can specify colors to use in LibreOffice documents. You can
select a color from a color table, edit an existing color, and define new colors. These colors are
stored in your color palette and are then available in all components of LibreOffice.
To modify a color:
1) Select the color to modify from the list or the color table.
2) Enter the new values that define the color. You can choose the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) or
the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) system to specify your color. The changed color
appears in the lower of the two color preview boxes at the top.
3) Modify the Name as required.
4) Click the Modify button. The newly defined color is now listed in the Color table.
