Operation Manual

Advanced options
Java options
If you install or update a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) after you install LibreOffice, or if
you have more than one JRE installed on your computer, you can use the LibreOffice –
Advanced options page to choose the JRE for LibreOffice to use.
Note
LibreOffice needs Java to run several wizards (such as in File > Wizards > Letter)
and also to run databases with the internal HSQLDB engine.
Figure 32: Choosing a Java runtime environment
If you are a system administrator, programmer, or other person who customizes JRE
installations, you can use the Parameters and Class Path pages (reached from the Java
page) to specify this information.
If you do not see anything listed in the middle of the page, wait a few minutes while
LibreOffice searches for JREs on the hard disk.
If LibreOffice finds one or more JREs, it will display them there. You can then select the Use
a Java runtime environment option and (if necessary) choose one of the JREs listed.
Optional (unstable) options
Enable experimental features
Selecting this option enables features that are not yet complete or contain known bugs. The
list of these features is different version by version.
Enable macro recording (limited)
This option enables macro recording with some limitations. Opening a window, switching
between windows, and recording in a different window to that in which the recording began,
is not supported. Only actions relating to document contents are recordable, so changes in
Options or customizing menus are not supported. For more about macro recording, see
Chapter 13, Getting Started with Macros.
