Choosing Options That Affect All of AOO

This section covers some of the settings that apply to all components of OpenOffice and are of most interest to users of Impress. Other general options are discussed in Chapter 2 (Setting Up OpenOffice) in the Getting Started guide.

1. Click Tools → Options (OpenOffice → Preferences on a Mac). The list on the left-hand side of the Options – OpenOffice dialog varies depending on which component of AOO is open. The illustrations in this chapter show the list as it appears when Impress is open.
2. Click the expansion marker (+ or triangle) by OpenOffice on the left-hand side. A list of subsections drops down (Figure 210).

The {[button

button has the same effect on all pages of the Options dialog. It resets the options to the values that were in place when you opened OpenOffice.}}
