[SOLVED] setting new default for "Alignement" tab's "Text direction" [closed]

[Cbhihe]

Hi: everytime I open a new document in Writer, the first thing I need to do is:

• editParagraph properties,
• select the Alignment tab, and
• change the Text-to-text Properties from either “Use superordinate object settings” or “Right-to-left” to “Left-to-right”

Is there a way I can change the default setting to a new default value of “Left-to-right”, once for all, so opening a new document in Writer does not entail repeating that gymnastics ? Thanks.

Hello,

yes - do your initial steps as described in your question and then:

• File -> Templates -> Save as Template
• Add a Template Name (e.g. MyWriterDefault)
• Select a Template Category (e.g. My Templates)
• Important Tick [x] Set as default template
• Click Save button
• Close your Writer document (you don’t need to save it once more)
• Open a new Writer document and check whether your new setting got applied.

Hope that helps
