How do I tell OpenOffice I'm not in England?
Every time I create a new document, I have to tell OpenOffice, first in the format page dialog, then in the print dialog, that I use US letter paper, not A4. I haven't been able to figure out how to change this default. Can someone help me out? (I'm using SuSE 8.1.)

It has been my experience that all issues related to open office will be more likely solved at one of the open office mailing list; try this: http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

If it's the same as StarOffice, you may find it useful to change the settings and save as a document template. When you've got it right, use the template to replace the default template. -- JDL

You can try this. Go to Tools then Options. Click on the + mark on the left beside Language settings. Then click on languages. The top 2 settings Locale setting and Default currency is what you might want to adjust. Hope that it works for you. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
Did you first set the defaults as root? Henry Harpending On Wed, Feb 26, 2003 at 04:33:48AM -0500, Marshall Heartley wrote:

Thanks for the suggestion; it didn't work, unfortunately. I'll try checking the OpenOffice web site, and if I can't find help there, I'll do the template thing.
