Figure 18: Choosing general printing options to apply to all LibreOffice components
In the Printer warnings section near the bottom of the page, you can choose whether to be warned
if the paper size or orientation specified in your document does not match the paper size or
orientation available for your printer. Having these warnings turned on can be quite helpful,
particularly if you work with documents produced by people in other countries where the standard
paper size is different from yours.
Tip
If your printouts are incorrectly placed on the page or chopped off at the top, bottom, or
sides, or the printer is refusing to print, the most likely cause is page size
incompatibility.
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.
