I'd like to make LO Writer default to saving everything in .rtf format.
The .odf is not readable by people with
Microsoft software, which is most of the world. If so, how? (Running
version 3.4.4)

Thanx--doug


FWIW, my ideal setup is to use odf and save in .doc format only when
exporting document for someone which doesn't have nor doesn't want (or
can't) install OOo / LibO.
My understanding is that non-odf document formats should be seen as
import and export only filters. Using one of them as "core" format on
which to build one's document repository is asking for trouble in the
long run.

My 2 cents.

To save files in a format most people in the world can't read is just
plain stupid, in my opinion.

What's plain stupid instead is using an office suite and insisting on NOT using its native file format (which, by the way is an international approved standard).

Besides, I think you misunderstood my comment: what I'm suggesting is to use LibO/OOo default document format to work on documents, and use the "other" formats when passing documents to other people who don't use LibO/OOo.

Anyway we are all free to do our choices, of course. :-)
