Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cal default print settings (and general default settings)

Hi :)
You can just copy&paste the UserProfile to different machines to set things up the same without 
going through each individual setting.  It's probably better to copy the UserProfile into the right 
place before install LibreOffice just in case there are new settings that need to over-write 'old' 
ones.  
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

If you hunt around the print settings there is a tick-box to make row and column headings print.  I 
think try

Format - Page - Sheet - Print - "Column and row headers"

I've never known anyone want that sort of thing except a few techie types working in finances on 
working papers but then they have to switch it off to make presentable documents for clients.  

Also people get used to red wriggles and bad spellings in MS Office because it randomly switches 
styles back to ones set to use American English.  So people have learned they can't rely on 
spell-checkers.  LibreOffice doesn't misbehave like that.  LO usually stays in the language you 
tell it you want and defaults to whatever you set for the Operating System (eg WinXp, Ubuntu, 
whatever)

Gnumeric is a very light-weight spreadsheet program which is difficult to set to default to using 
MS formats.  I would stick with LibreOffice on machines that can handle it.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Install http://gnumeric.org and forget about all office software based 
on templates and styles.
