.MSI Property For Save As Type

Thanks for your help, but that is not where I was talking about changing the setting. I am wanting to change it in the .MSI file so when I deploy it via GPO I wont need to manually change that setting on all 100 machines. As far as using .ODF, this is simply not an option at my company. Thank you.

I have no idea if this is possible. But I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't... It is not a TDF goal that people use LO to perpetuate Microsoft's closed proprietary file formats. LO exists to promote the use of open standards and formats ;)

The frustrating part about all of this is in OpenOffice3.0 we were able to copy a settings file/directory that OO built on install, via login script, to every machine that had OO installed on it. The more recent OpenOffice and LibreOffice do not build this file/directory anymore.

@Pedro, I'm in agreement that TDF shouldn't promote closed proprietary formats; hopefully a big deployment of LO using proprietary formats might be able to transition to a big deployment using open formats. Getting LO onto the machine is a good first step :-)

@qubit, there is a option in Menu/Tools/Option/Load-Save - Document type - Always save as, But I must insist in convince users always use native format for work, only other formats at the end to deliver as needed.

@mariosv, Good points. In terms of round-trip fidelity, the native format (ODF) will always have the best support, so we should encourage people to use it when they need the highest level of continuity and fidelity.
