Re: Default View Layout

The view mode (Print or Web) is stored as a setting in each document; when you open the document, the previous view setting is restored.

Same goes for templates: when you create a new document from a template, the view mode saved in the template is used for the new document as well.

If you create a template document that uses web view, then assign that template as the default template, then any time you start OOo and do File > New > Text Document, you'll get an empty document in web view.

I don't know how the icon on your desktop works, so I can't make any suggestions how to make it start in web view, but the same principles apply there as well.

Thank you very much. Your instructions worked fine. I have a question, however, before marking my question well solved. Does the Load/Save category under Options have any bearing on the modifications I may have made to the operation of Libre? I made modifications, I think, so long ago I've forgotten what they are. Perhaps something I did set my Layout in stone. I'd be happy to send an image of my Options-Load/Save-General box if that is germane and if I could find out how to do it.
