Re: [libreoffice-users] [Ten questions]

Hi :)
Wow!  If there was some way of saving the User Profile of a perfect set-up and then uploading that 
to the Extensions website then it might help a lot of people get idealised set-ups quite quickly.  
There was something about using an xcu file so that all users of a Windows machine would start with 
the same basic set-up but despite people trying to help me with it i never got around to 
implementing it.  
Regards from
Tom :)
