First of all I would like >> to change the default open/save directory.Did you try using Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->Paths to set the "My Documents" directory? Did you consider using the Help functions to see if there was an easy way to do what you want? It's not always the first, best choice to dig into the muck of the control files when there are built in option controls that will accomplish the same thing easily and conveniently.... Also, please do not top-post on this list. HTH. mhr
