Figure 36: OpenOffice.org Writer options
General options
Choose OpenOffice.org Writer > General on the Options dialog box
to display the page shown in Figure 37.
The choices on this page affect the updating of links and fields, the
units used for rulers and other measurements, and the default tab stop
positions.
Update links when loading
Depending on your work patterns, you may not want links to be
updated when you load a document. For example, if your file links to
other files on a network, you won’t want those links to update when
you are not connected to the network.
Update fields and charts automatically
You may not want fields or charts to update automatically when you
are working, because that slows down performance.
