Locking Openoffice 1.1
Does anybody know how to prevent children changing the settings in Open office. Open office is installed locally on W98 machines. I have searched the internet and read the FAQ and can find no reference to this. Thanks Colin ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo! Messenger http://mail.messenger.yahoo.co.uk

I started playing with *exactly* this last night. Drew a blank too. I'm going to start by seeing which settings are computer based and which are user based (Win98: user.dat etc). Mandatory profiles will help out if they're user based (like in MS Office), but initial investations seem to indicate changing a setting is for all users? I'll continue over the next few days (I would say tonight, but half term beer is over due). I want to roll this out across 50 workstations over 600 users - locking it down is a must ;) -- Matt ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Try posting the question to users@openoffice.org. If that draws a blank
go to discuss@OpenOffice.org and possibly educ@marketing.openoffice.org
(The education project list - I'm the moderator) then if still not
resolved raise an issue on Issuezilla and it a fix will have a chance of
finding its way into the next release depending on how
important/dificult to achieve it is.
To subscribe to OO.o mailing lists sen E-mail of the form
educ-subscribe@marketing.openoffice.org
The user list gets a lot of traffic so set up a filter into a separate
folder. Educ is moderate to low traffic but is focused on education
issues and OO.o.
