Setting default save format for all users

[bigstu]

I just tried something and so far it looks like its working but if it doesn't sorry.

Basically what I did was I downloaded the disablefirststartwzd package for 3.2 I had ran open office and changed my settings for the default save format already for that user, I took the settings for that section out of the setup.xcu file (the entire factories node) and I inserted it into the setup.xcu file in the plugin, the plugin seems to just be a zip file. Then I took the plugin and ran unopck add --shared <package>

I deleted the users openoffice profile data prior to this, so the next time I ran it, didn't ask me to do the first run but it did ask if I wanted to register which was okay and I the default file settings took! i tried also inserting the recovery.xcu but that didn't take, not a problem.

This is what I modified the setup.xcu inside the plugin to look like:

I have OOo on an opensuse 11.3 setup. I would like to change the default save formats to Microsoft Office 97/2000/XP for all the applicable formats, because most of the users will be opening, saving, and sending documents that used that format.

Any idea how to do this for all user accounts in linux?

Thanks!

It is a user setting. Thus, the setting will be stored in the user profile of OOo (.openoffice or .libreoffice). If you want to automate this, you will need to find the place where the option is stored. Alternatively, you could maintain a template profile with the adequate settings, then copy that over to the user profile (an change ownership to that user).
