Re: [libreoffice-users] User Profile Question

Thanks, Scot.

That seems to be what I was looking for. Just a quick glance showed me a lot 
of settings that I have customized. I'll dig further to see if all of them 
are in there.

You mention that you're on Linux. Are you running on a laptop? I've tried 
several different Linux distros on my Sony Vaio laptop, in many different 
forms (live CD/USB Flash, Wubi, "true" dual boot), etc. and every one of 
them seems to make my CPU run really hot, much hotter than my Windows setup. 
Have you (or any others) experienced similar problems? Various Linux forums 
online seem to indicate this is not uncommon. I've been *really* trying to 
give Linux a fair try, but it keeps hitting me with roadblocks. I know many 
of you are Linux enthusiasts, but I can't get past the heat and sound of a 
frantically whirring fan.

I run on Linux so I'm not sure if you have it on Win7. There's a file
called registrymodifications.xcu under libreoffice/4/user.
It's in some Markup format somewhat similar to html or xml. It can be
kind of cryptic but I have edited that file directly with some success.
I don't know if that contains everything within user options or not, but
I have saved it in the past before trying something that would cause the
app to barf and then restored that file and everything was fine again.
