Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Default file save format to MSOffice (doc, xls, ppt) etc..

Another way that does not involve editing any files is this:

Tools > Options > Load/Save > General

In the right panel near the bottom are two drop-downs: Document type and
Always save as.

Select the doc type -- say, text document -- and then select Microsoft
Word 97/etc. in the save as box.

(I'd click OK here but it may not be necessary to do that until you've
set all three.)

Similarly for spreadsheet and presentation.
