Writer Guide

Choosing options that affect all of OOo
This section covers some of the settings that apply to all the
components of OOo and are particularly important when using Writer.
Other general options are discussed in Chapter 2 (Setting Up
OpenOffice.org) in the Getting Started guide.
Click Tools > Options. The list on the left-hand side of the Options –
OpenOffice.org dialog box varies depending on which component of
OOo is open. The illustrations in this chapter show the list as it appears
when a Writer document is open.
Click the + sign by OpenOffice.org 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 box to display the relevant page.

Note
The Back button has the same effect on all pages of the
Options dialog box. It resets options to the values that were in
place when you opened OOo.
User Data options
Because Writer uses the name or initials stored in the OpenOffice.org –
User Data page for several things, including document properties
(created by and last edited by information) and the name of the author
of notes and changes, you will want to ensure that the correct
information appears here.
Fill in the form (shown in Figure 23) or amend or delete any existing
incorrect information.
