components
Path options
On the OpenOffice.org – Paths page, you can change the location of files associated
with, or used by, OpenOffice.org 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 25 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 in the OpenOffice.org – Paths dialog to compile
a list of files, such as those containing AutoText, that you need to back
up or copy to another computer.
