Re: [libreoffice-users] HOWTO change all-user default file formats (Windows), for LOo3.5?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I probably wasn't clear enough about the goal being that any users 
added to the machines (post facto) would get MS
default formats without doing (knowing how to do) anything.  (I was recently excoriated by a client 
who had difficulty because her customers couldn't open the .odt's LOo gave her....)

Thanks again,
ultra
