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
I believe during the install you can select "Make default for MS formats" on Windows. I am not sure that this changes the default Save format.

Hi :)
I think a much easier route is to use

Tools - Options - "+Load/Save" - General

At the bottom of that page are 2 drop-down lists.  With the
1st set at "Text document" change the 2nd to "Word
(97/2000/Xp)".  Something like that.  It's back up the
list above the default.  Then change the 1st drop-down to
"Spreadsheet" and the 2nd roll backwards up the list by 2
places.  If you only go 1 place up you make templates
instead of documents.  Again for Presentations.

That sets things up in the User Profile
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
which can then be copied to other machines even if they run
different operating systems.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi All,

I've searched this topic and found



[libreoffice-users] Re: Default file save format to MSOffice
(doc, xls, ppt) etc..
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg12888.html

from last November, however in 3.5 the referenced .xcd files
(writer.xcd, etc.,) have multiple strings that match the
text to replace.  I'd rather not find out the hard way that
replacing them all breaks something, though if someone can
tell me that replacing them all works properly (based on
experience) that's altogether different.

i.e. for the current LOo version, how does one change the
default file save format for all users, e.g. during OS
deployment.

Is there any documentation (other than the source) on how
these files/that xml works?

TIA.
ultra
