[gentoo-user] libreoffice 6
Hello, I recently upgraded to LO 6.0.6.2; the upgrade went fine. When saving docs, I had it default to ".doc" as the most common format and I mostly use libreoffice for doz based folks. Now the save option does not list out all of those choices to save a file as, like ::pdf .doc .docx, etc etc. all I see now is 3 types of 'odg' : All formats odg drawing odg drawing template fiat xml odg dreawing I can File --> export --> .pdf So where do I set the default file type (.doc) for save? did I miss a flag or extra module for this traditional behavior to set automatically. ? TIA, James
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Is that possible or nonsense (3D-Printing via WiFi) ?

And DON'T hang ANYTHING else on USB (except, of course, the keyboard and mouse). Actually, if you've got separate USB-1, -2, and -3 ports, make sure it's the only thing on the -3 ports. Sharing devices on a hub (and a lot of mobos have internal hubs so you don't know if ports are shared or not) can cause all sorts of grief if you're unlucky. Cheers, Wol

I don't seem to have anything special in my compile settings for libreoffice, so I don't think so. Interestingly, I don't have any of the three options you list, it's suspicious that all of them are some kind of 'drawing' format... Cheers, Arve

Any chance you opened LibreOffice Draw by mistake? (Or that they changed the UI so that what you used to do to open a blank text document now opens a "draw document"?) -- Nuno Silva

Libreoffice has a whole bunch of graphics boxes along the left hand side, so I guess those defaults are do to how the (pdf) file creator set defaults. Gotta test on a blank text from. Testing a raw (newly created) text file does give a differnet list of file save options. (gasp) I guess I just gott bite the bullet and sink a couple hours into this 6.x libreoffice. I was back a few version on LO-5.x, just for this reason. thx for the help. James > Cheers, > Arve > >
