    Open Office Defaults

    Hi All,

    I want to change some of the defaults in Open Office but it seems like it's trickier than it should be. An example of what I would like to change is the default outline format, I prefer the 1st option in the 2nd row (when going to format --> bullets and numbering), but I have to select it every damn time I have to do bullets, which is pretty much 50 times a day). I also HATE tab stop for bullets, I think they are horrible for placement and I prefer a space over a tab stop (I don't get how anyone can functionally use tab stop in outlines, once you hit III. it does a FULL TAB and throws off the alignment completely). I've complained about this to the developers and....they have bigger priorities

    I'm really picky about formatting and just want to set it up once and be done with it. Any suggestions?

    that sounds like the sort of thing to do with styles ... do any of the options here help? I was thinking modifying default styles might do what you want ... but to be honest I have not played with this feature.
