Load Load user-specific settings with the document Loads the user-specific settings saved in a document with the document. If Load user-specific settings with the document is not selected, the following user-specific settings still apply: Settings available in File - Print - Options, Name of Fax, Spacing options for paragraphs before text tables, Information about automatic updating for links, field functions and charts, Information about working with Asian character formats. The following settings are always loaded with a document, whether or not this option is marked: Data source linked to the document and its view. Load printer settings with the document If enabled, the printer settings will be loaded with the document. This can cause a document to be printed on a distant printer, if you do not change the printer manually in the Print dialog. If disabled, your standard printer will be used to print this document. The current printer settings will be stored with the document whether or not this option is checked. Save Edit document properties before saving Specifies that the Properties dialog will appear every time you select the Save As command. Always create backup copy Saves the previous version of a document as a backup copy whenever you save a document. Every time %PRODUCTNAME creates a backup copy, the previous backup copy is replaced. The backup copy gets the extension .BAK. To change the location of the backup copy, choose %PRODUCTNAME - PreferencesTools - Options - %PRODUCTNAME - Paths, and then enter a new path for the backup file. Save AutoRecovery information every Specifies that %PRODUCTNAME saves the information needed to restore all open documents in case of a crash. You can specify the saving time interval. Minutes Specifies the time interval in minutes for the automatic recovery option. Save URLs relative to file system This option allows you to select the default for relative addressing of URLs in the file system and on the Internet. Relative addressing is only possible if the source document and the referenced document are both on the same drive. A relative address always starts from the directory in which the current document is located. In contrast, absolute addressing always starts from a root directory. The following table demonstrates the difference in syntax between relative and absolute referencing: Examples File system Internet relative ../images/img.jpg ../images/img.jpg absolute file:///c|/work/images/img.jpg http://myserver.com/work/images/img.jpg The Help tip always displays an absolute path. However, if a document is saved in HTML format, %PRODUCTNAME will enter a relative path if the appropriate check box is selected. Select this box for relative saving of URLs in the file system. Save URLs relative to internet Select this box for relative saving of URLs to the Internet. Default file format and ODF settings ODF format version OpenOffice.org 3 and StarOffice 9 introduce new features which have to be saved using the OpenDocument format (ODF) version 1.2. The prior versions of OpenOffice.org 2 and StarOffice 8 support the file formats ODF 1.0/1.1. Those prior file formats cannot store all new features of the new software. Current versions can open documents in ODF formats 1.0/1.1 and 1.2. When you save a document, you can select whether to save the document in the format ODF 1.2, ODF 1.2 (Extended), or in the prior format ODF 1.0/1.1. Currently, the ODF 1.2 (Extended) format enables files of Draw and Impress to contain comments. Those comments can be inserted by Insert - Comment in the latest software version. The comments get lost when loading files into prior software versions that were saved by the latest software version. Some companies or organizations may require ODF documents in the ODF 1.0/1.1 format. You can select that format to save in the listbox. This older format cannot store all new features, so the new format ODF 1.2 (Extended) is recommended where possible. Size optimization for ODF format When saving the document, %PRODUCTNAME writes the XML data without indents and extra line breaks. This allows documents to be saved and opened more quickly, and the file size is smaller. Warn when not saving in ODF or default format You can choose to get a warning message when you save a document in a format that is not OpenDocument or which you did not set as default format in Load/Save - General in the Options dialog box. You can choose which file format will be applied as the default when saving documents of various document types. If you always exchange your documents with other persons who use Microsoft Office, for example, you may specify here that %PRODUCTNAME only uses the Microsoft Office file formats as a default. Document type Specifies the document type for which you want to define the default file format. Always save as Specifies how documents of the type selected on the left will always be saved as this file type. You may select another file type for the current document in the Save as dialog.
