I've read the staroffice 5.2 installation guide, and I'm still not quite clear on the following question. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently using openoffice 2.0 beta. I would like, by default, to start openoffice writer, I click "save" and have the file-type set to "microsoft word 97/2000/XP"... How do I specify in the response.txt file how to save files in a default format (as opposed to manually setting it everytime under tools > options > load/save > general > default file format) ? I saw something in the star office 5.2 install guide, "section module_specify", and I haven't a clue where to begin (or even if I'm right!) Thank you very much, and look forward to responses.
