Opening and Saving Documents
There are multiple methods of loading or opening documents. For example, by using the File
> Open dialogue, the Open icon on the Standard toolbar or the File > New menu.
NOTE: Under Windows®, a system dialogue is automatically displayed when opening and saving OpenOffice.org
documents. Choose Tools > Options >OpenOffice.org > General and check Use OpenOffice.org dialogues. This
enables a user to be presented with the OpenOffice.org dialogues shown in this guide.
Opening Documents
To open an existing document that was saved on the hard drive or on a removable disk,
there are three possibilities. Either choose File > Open, click the Open File icon on the
Standard toolbar, or use the Ctrl+O shortcut keys.
Is each case, the Open dialogue is displayed.
This dialogue is described in detail in the OpenOffice.org Help. However, here are a few tips:
Change the size of the dialogue by dragging the borders of the dialogue with
the mouse.
Click the Default Directory icon to go straight to one's work directory. To
define a work directory, see the Changing the Work Directory section
Long-click or short-click the Up One Level icon. A short click takes the user
one directory higher. A long click opens a submenu with a choice of
superordinate directories.
To only see files containing a certain name, enter the name with wildcards in
