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

Hi :)
+1
Good point.  Definitely LibreOffice can be set as the default app for opening MS formats.  I had 
forgotten that.  I'm fairly sure LibreOffice stays defaulting to OpenDocument Formats if you start 
a fresh new document.  Most office workers i've ever known never do that, they open an existing 
document and delete everything and then use that (ie a really bad habit but for once something that 
plays in your favour).  
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
