Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49986
WebLayout as default
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:02 UTC
I would always like to see everything in WebLayout first. Funny thing is that native documents (*odt) preserve this view if they are saved and closed in this view. However, if I choose to save as *doc, it will revert to PrintView upon opening. As for brand new documents: I created my own template, saved it as *ott (writer template), defined as default - all this in WebLayout. Now all the new writer files open in WebLayout. To avoid *doc files opening in Print View, I created a macro and assigned it to Events>Open document. This works for *all* text documents which, unfortunately, means, that all *odt documents (closed in WebLayout and therefore expected to open so again) will be reverted to PrintView, since the macro is able only to *change* the layout whatever it is. Request: Would it be possible to introduce an option somewhere that all text documents and text templates (either brand new or reopened for zillionth time) should open in WebLayout OR PrintView, depending on the user's choice and irrespective of the format (so *odt, *doc etc. behave alike)? Thank you.
Reassigned to rewuirements.
