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 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 Reset button, located in the lower right of the full Options dialog, has the same
effect on all pages of the dialog. It resets the options to the values that were in place
when you opened the dialog.
If you are using a version of LibreOffice other than US English, some field labels may be different
from those shown in the illustrations.
User Data options
Because LibreOffice can use 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.
Fill in the form (not shown here), or amend or delete any existing information. If you do not want
user data to be part of the document’s properties, clear the box at the bottom.
General options
The options on the LibreOffice – General page are described below Figure 14.
