[libreoffice-users] Re: Change Load/Save Settings at Server or Domain Level?

I seem to have found where the configuration takes place, and how to change it.

http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=349

The XML configuration files are found at C:\Program Files
(x86)\LibreOffice 3\Basis\share\registry\
They are named for the program they control, ex.: writer.xcd, calc.xcd, etc.

In writer.xcd

<node oor:name="com.sun.star.text.TextDocument" oor:op="replace">
    ........
    <prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter">
         <value>writer8</value>
    </prop>
    ........
</node>

Gets changed to:

<node oor:name="com.sun.star.text.TextDocument" oor:op="replace">
    ........
    <prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter">
         <value>MS Word 97</value>
    </prop>
    ........
</node>

In calc.xcd

<node oor:name="com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument" oor:op="replace">
    ........
    <prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter">
         <value>calc8</value>
    </prop>
    ........
</node>

Gets changed to:

<node oor:name="com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument" oor:op="replace">
    ........
    <prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter">
         <value>MS Excel 97</value>
    </prop>
    ........
</node>

Force Save As to be Office 2007 Compatible:
In Calc change the value to 'MS Excel 2007 XML'
In Writer change the value to 'MS Word 2007 XML'

It's probably something very similar for Impress to PowerPoint as
well, I just happen to not need that for my situation.

NOTE: Apparently the server needs a restart to enforce the changes
onto the users. I haven't tried that yet, but it does appear that
simply changing the file and NOT rebooting does NOT affect the
individual users.

I will report back here after I do a reboot. Have to wait 'til end of
business day.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Big props to TOM DAVIES for his persistence. Thank you, sir!

Guy
