          Done.  It works (after reboot).

          I’m confused.  "https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile 
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile>” tells me to look for Tools -> Options -> 
LibreOffice -> Paths.  I don’t see “Options” under Tools.  It also tells me that for Mac OS X, I 
should look for "/Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/libreoffice/4/user  (LibreOffice 
4)”.  I found “user” under "/Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/libreoffice/4”.  
However, I’m reluctant to change this.  


          Thanks, 
          Spencer
