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 21 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.
