Thanks for your reply.
1. I'm using Debian Squeeze AMD64 on an ASUS K501 notebook, one hard 
drive (dual booting with Windows 7, which I seldom use. I have 
openoffice 2.2 on the Windows partition and do not have the Path problem 
with it)

2. the > Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Paths -->My Documents "Edit" changes 
WORK as long as I DO NOT reboot. When I reboot the changes are lost.
I have always had an "office" directory for my letters. spreadsheets etc 
to do with my day to day life and have used the default Libreoffice 
"Documents" directory for other stuff that I may or may not want to keep 
or back up. Somehow, the changes I make to "Path" are not being 
permanently saved.
3. I tried placing my "office" directory as a subdirectory of the 
libreoffice "Documents" directory, making the path to my office 
directory /home/john/Documents/office/  but the changes are lost on 
rebooting.
4. Changes I make to "calc" such as moving the cursor to the R instead 
of the default Down are also lost on rebooting.

I can live with the way things are, it seems a petty thing to mention 
but was more convenient the way it used to be! Thanks, John.
