OpenOffice contains approximately 25,000 settings that can be managed using OpenOffice-Enterprise.
This Knowledgebase contains a small subset. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, our site-wide search may help. If not, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to help find the settings you would like to manage in your deployment.
This Knowledgebase is copyright Open Office Technology. It may be linked to but not copied. Its permanent location is http://OpenOfficeTechnology.com/documentation/OpenOffice-Configuration
The entries in this Knowledgebase describe the folder where each setting can be found in Group Policy Editor. For example, the folder org.openoffice.Office.Writer/DefaultFont can be found under User Configuration | Administrative Templates | OpenOffice-Enterprise v2 | org.openoffice.Office.Writer | DefaultFont. In order to see this folder, either the full administrative template file or the administrative template file containing only the settings for the org.openoffice.Office.Writer component must first be added to the Group Policy Object. To add an administrative template file, right-click on the Administrative Templates folder. The administrative template file containing all OpenOffice settings is called OpenOffice-Enterprise-v2-full.adm, and the file containing only the settings for the org.openoffice.Office.Writer component is called oo2-Office-Writer.adm.
An explanation of each setting can be found in Group Policy Editor in the Properties dialog. The explanation includes a description, the property type (boolean, integer, string, etc.), and the normal value. The "normal" value is the setting's value in a fresh installation of the U.S. English version of OpenOffice. It can often be helpful to examine the normal value before trying to enter a new value. The text under the "Explain" tab also includes the normal value, and this text can be highlighted with the mouse, copied to the clipboard, pasted into the value field and then edited.
For settings that accept a list of values, for example, a list of directories, the Explain text will indicate that the property type is "xxxxx-list". Lists are entered in the format #item1#item2#item3#, where the first and last character is the list delimiter.
OpenOffice-Enterprise can set both mandatory and default values. Mandatory values cannot be changed by users, while default values can potentially be overridden by individual users to reflect their personal preferences. To make a value mandatory, check the Final option in Group Policy Editor. To set a default value, leave Final unchecked.
When configuring OpenOffice, directory and file paths must be entered using OpenOffice's file URL syntax, as described below.
For a local drive such as C: or a network drive mapped to a local drive letter such as N:, the file URL syntax is:
file:///X:/path or file:///X:/path/file.ext
In Windows, shared file and directories on the local network can also be referred to using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141941. The Windows UNC path for a shared file is \\server\share\path\file.ext. This path translates into the file URL format:
file://server/share/path or file://server/share/path/file.ext
Note that when specifying a drive letter, the colon is followed by three slashes, "file:///", but when specifying a UNC path, the colon is followed by only two slashes, "file://". Also note that all Windows' backslash "\" path separators must be replaced by forward slashes "/". Finally, when referring to directories and files on Windows machines, case does not matter, and therefore file:///c:/temp, file:///C:/Temp and file:///C:/TEMP would all refer to the same location.
Here are some examples of valid file URL's:
file:///C:/OpenOffice 2.0/templates
file:///N:/OpenOffice 2.0/templates
file://netserver/OpenOffice/templates
file:///C:/OpenOffice 2.0/templates/corporate standard.ott
file:///N:/OpenOffice 2.0/templates/corporate standard.ott
file://netserver/OpenOffice/templates/corporate standard.ott
Note that in a file URL, the server name can also be an IP address or DNS name, for example:
file://127.0.0.1/path or file://127.0.0.1/path/file.ext
file://64.233.167.99/path or file://64.233.167.99/path/file.ext
file://localhost/path or file://localhost/path/file.ext
file://domain.com/path or file://domain.com/path/file.ext
file://host.domain.com/path or file://host.domain.com/path/file.ext
When specifying a directory or file location in OpenOffice, a path variable can be used in place of an absolute location. For example, the value
$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang)
can be used to refer to OpenOffice's installed template directory, which in a normal US English installation is
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.x\share\template\en-US
Below is a list of path variables and their nominal values. The actual values will depend on the installation:
$(inst) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0
$(insturl) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0
$(instpath) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0
$(baseinsturl) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0
$(prog) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program
$(progurl) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program
$(progpath) = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program
$(user) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user
$(userurl) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user
$(userpath) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user
$(userdataurl) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user
$(work) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents
$(workdirurl) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents
$(home) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
$(temp) = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
$(path) = the Windows environment variable "path"
$(lang) = 01
$(langid) = 1033
$(vlang) = en-US
For further information, see http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/OfficeDev/OfficeDev.xhtml#1_2_7_2_Path_Variables
The default title of a new document window in OpenOffice is “Untitled1 - OpenOffice.org Writer”.
The string “OpenOffice.org” can be customized. Changing this string to a value such as “OpenOffice-Enterprise” allows a system administrator to quickly determine that OpenOffice-Enterprise is working simply by running OpenOffice and looking at the titlebar. Setting this value will change the display of the application name throughout OpenOffice, for example, in the configuration dialogs as well as the application window title.
To change this string:
In org.openoffice.Setup/Product
set ooName to <the string that replaces OpenOffice.org>
By default, Calc prints all sheets and all pages, including empty pages. After selecting File | Print, the user can choose to suppress the output of empty pages and/or print only the selected sheets by clicking "Options..."
The default values for these options can be set under the menu item "Tools | Options | OpenOffice Calc | Print". The corresponding configuration settings are located in org.openoffice.Office.Calc/Print.
To change the default to suppress the output of empty pages:
In org.openoffice.Office.Calc/Print/Page
set EmptyPages to False
To change the default to print only selected sheets:
In org.openoffice.Office.Calc/Print/Other
set AllSheets to False
The format and styles of new documents can be modified by creating a default template.
To create an enterprise-wide default template, first create a new document of the desired type using the File | New menu. Modify this document to match the desired template, setting the margins, styles, fonts, headers, footers, paper size, etc. When done, select File | Save, and for "Save as type", select the appropriate template type, such as OpenDocument Text Template (.ott). Then navigate to the directory where the template should be saved, enter a name for the template and click Save.
In the OpenOffice configuration settings under org.openoffice.Setup\Office\Factories\Factory['com.sun.star.format-type'], set ooSetupFactoryTemplateFile to reference the new template, for example, file://server/share/OpenOffice/template/corptemplate.ott. To prevent users from changing the default template, check Final.
When setting ooSetupFactoryTemplateFile, the template file can be referenced using one or more of the environmental variables shown at OpenOffice path variables, optionally followed by a subdirectory. Alternatively, a path can be set to an absolute file location. When setting an absolute location, the value must be entered as a file URL, in the form file://server/share/path/file.ext. For more infomation, see OpenOffice File URL's.
When a new document is created, it will then by default be created using the settings in the template. If the template cannot be opened, for example, if the network path is not accessible, then the new document will be created using OpenOffice's default document format.
When running OpenOffice, various paths can be set from the menu "Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths", including the paths to templates and user documents. These paths, along with many additional paths such as the dictionary path, can be configured administratively. The mechanism for configuring these paths depends on the version of OpenOffice.
In OpenOffice v2.0.3 and earlier, the path configuration settings can be found in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default and org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current.
The normal value of each setting is shown in Group Policy Editor in the "Properties" dialog. Examining the normal values can be helpful for understanding the format and use of the path settings.
In general, Default and Current should be set to the same values. OpenOffice uses the values in Current, however, if a user clicks "Default" in the Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths dialog, the user's current value is replaced by the value in Default. To lock a value so users cannot override it, set the Current value and mark it "Final" in Group Policy Editor.
Each path setting is either of type "string" or "string-list". In Group Policy Editor, string-lists are entered in the format #path1#path2#path3#, where the first and last character is the list delimiter.
Paths can be set using one or more of the environmental variables shown at OpenOffice path variables, optionally followed by a subdirectory. Alternatively, a path can be set to an absolute directory location. When setting an absolute location, the value must be entered as a file URL, in the form file://server/share/path. For more infomation, see OpenOffice File URL's.
For example, the normal value of the Templates path is a list containing two directories: "$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang)" and "$(userurl)/template". To change the first element of this list to a network location, set the following values:
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default
set Template to #file://server/share/OpenOffice/template#$(userurl)/template#
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current
set Template to #file://server/share/OpenOffice/template#$(userurl)/template#
In OpenOffice v2.0.3 and earlier, the path configuration settings in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default and org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current are considered deprecated but continue to be used by OpenOffice. In addition to these settings, OpenOffice v2.0.4 and later use the settings in org.openoffice.Office.Paths.
The interaction of these settings is complex. The following describes how these settings work, then offers a recommendation on how to configure these settings.
Three of these path settings, Backup, Temp and Work, are "single paths" which means they reference only a single directory. For these settings, the values in org.openoffice.Office.Paths are ignored, and only the values in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default and org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current are used. These three paths can be configured the same as in OpenOffice v2.0.3, with one exception: the settings cannot be completely locked down by marking the value "Final" (see Note below).
For each of the remaining path settings, OpenOffice builds the path list by concatenating the following:
(a) the names (not the values) of the keys under org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Pathname']/InternalPaths. These names reference and installation paths and are considered read-only. They cannot be edited by the user and are not shown to the user. The current release of OpenOffice-Enterprise does not allow these internal values to be changed, but this limitation is intended to be addressed in a future release.
(b) the value in org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Pathname']/UserPaths
(c) the value in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current/Pathname
(d) the value in org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Pathname']/WritePath
These four values, each of which can be a list of paths, are concetentated and duplicate paths removed. The last path in the resulting list is considered the "WritePath" which is where new user files are written.
If a user clicks "Default" in the Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths dialog, this entire list, with the exception of the internal paths defined in location (a), is replaced by the contents of org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default/Pathname.
Note: The current release of the OpenOffice-Enterprise software does not allow the path settings in OpenOffice v2.0.4 or later to be completely locked down so that users are unable to change them. When a value is marked "Final", the setting is partially locked down. The user can temporarily change a "Final" setting using the menu Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths, however the changes are not saved to disk and the path reverts to its "Final" value when OpenOffice is restarted. This limitation that a path setting cannot be completely locked down so it cannot be edited is intended to be addressed in a future release. Note however that while individual path settings cannot be completely locked down, an administrator could prevent editing of all path settings by disabling the Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths menu. For instructions, see Hide configuration options.
The following strategy is recommended for configuring paths in OpenOffice v2.0.4 and later:
1. Under org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Pathname'], set WritePath to the desired WritePath, i.e., the default location where new user files are written.
2. Under both org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default and org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current, set the value of Pathname to the desired path list, making sure the last path in the list is the same "WritePath" entered in Step 1.
For example, to add a network location to the list of template directories:
In org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Template']
set WritePath to $(userurl)/template
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Default
set Template to #file://server/share/OpenOffice/template#$(userurl)/template#
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Path/Current
set Template to #file://server/share/OpenOffice/template#$(userurl)/template#
Unlike OpenOffice v2.0.3, making the above change in OpenOffice v2.0.4 or later will not disable the installation templates because they are referenced in org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Template']/InternalPaths
Paths can be set using one or more of the environmental variables shown at OpenOffice path variables, optionally followed by a subdirectory. Alternatively, a path can be set to an absolute directory location. When setting an absolute location, the value must be entered as a file URL, in the form file://server/share/path. For more infomation, see OpenOffice File URL's.
OpenOffice v2.0.4 and higher can notify a user when software updates are available.
Auto Update / Online Update is automatically disabled when using OpenOffice-Enterprise (build 505 or later).
Internally, OpenOffice contains approx. 2180 commands that are invoked by the menu items and toolbar buttons in its user interface. These commands are listed on the following page.
Any or all of these commands can be disabled, which both prevents the user from executing the command, and either gray's out the corresponding user interface element or causes it to disappear. The settings to disable commands are located in org.openoffice.Office.Commands/Execute/Disabled
For example, to prevent the user from customizing OpenOffice's menus and toolbars:
In org.openoffice.Office.Commands/Execute/Disabled/CommandType['ConfigureDialog']
Enable Command
OpenOffice's internal commands are documented in part at these locations:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7496/6mmqgehj0?a=view
http://framework.openoffice.org/files/documents/25/2570/commandsReference.html
For a list of the 2261 commands that can be set to disabled by OpenOffice-Enterprise, please see http://OpenOfficeTechnology.com/node/71
To prevent OpenOffice from using Java:
In OpenOffice-Enterprise/Java
set Disable OpenOffice Java use to enabled
This setting can be testing by running OpenOffice and trying the menu item File -> Wizards -> Letter. OpenOffice should respond with an error message titled "JRE required".
When disabling Java, you may also wish to hide the user configuration dialog for Java located in OpenOffice under Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Java. For instructions, see Hide configuration options.
The registration wizard that appears the first time a user runs OpenOffice is automatically disabled when using OpenOffice-Enterprise (build 505 or later).
The AutoSave (also known as AutoRecovery) options can be found in two locations: under org.openoffice.Office.Recovery/AutoSave and under org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/Document. The settings in org.openoffice.Office.Common are not used and are ignored by OpenOffice. Nonetheless, to be safe, it is recommended to set the options in both locations.
For example, to change the the AutoSave interval from 15 minutes to 5 minutes:
In org.openoffice.Office.Recovery/AutoSave
set TimeIntervall to 5
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/Document
set AutoSaveTimeIntervall to 5
By default, OpenOffice saves documents in the OpenDocument format. Users can change the default file formats using the "Tools | Options | Load/Save | General" menu. The default formats can be locked down to the OpenDocument formats with the following settings:
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']
set ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to writer8 and mark the value as Final
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument']
set ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to calc8 and mark the value as Final
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.presentation.PresentationDocument']
set ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to impress8 and mark the value as Final
OpenOffice can also save files in Microsoft Office formats. To make these the default formats:
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']
change ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to MS Word 97 (enter exactly as shown)
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument']
change ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to MS Excel 97 (enter exactly as shown)
In org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.presentation.PresentationDocument']
change ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter to MS PowerPoint 97 (enter exactly as shown)
Setting the default formats to a non-native format causes OpenOffice to display a warning dialog when a file is saved. To disable this warning:
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/Document
set WarnAlienFormat to False
In OpenOffice, the File | Save As dialog has an option to save a document using a password. This option is only enabled for document formats that support a password. For formats that do not support a password, the "Save with password" option is grayed-out and disabled.
There is no single configuration setting that disables "Save with password" for all document formats, however, this option can be indirectly disabled by removing from Save As all formats that support a password.
The formats that support a password include the OpenDocument and OpenOffice.org 1.0 formats. To remove these formats from the Save As dialog, see Hiding or Disabling Document Formats.
The formats that do not support "Save with password" include the Microsoft Office formats (all versions), the StarOffice formats (all versions), Rich Text Format (RTF), HTML and Text formats. These formats can be left enabled.
OpenOffice supports a number of document formats, including the OpenDocument, Microsoft Office, StarOffice, HTML, RTF and text formats. Some formats can be both written and read, while some can only be written and some can only be read. The formats that can be read appear in the file chooser dialog when opening a document using the menu File | Open. The formats that can be written and read appear in the file chooser dialog when saving a document using the menu File | Save As. The formats that can only be written and not read appear in the file chooser dialog when exporting a document using the menu File | Export.
The various formats can be hidden or disabled as follows:
Under org.openoffice.TypeDetection.Filter/Filters, find the format you wish to hide or remove. The formats are named using their internal names, however, the internal names can be associated with their common names (the name that appears in the file dialogs) by examining the default values of the settings under the format's UIName.
After locating the format, open the Flags property, set it to Enabled, then:
- To hide the format in the File Open and Save As dialogs, add the flags NOTINFILEDIALOG and NOTINCHOOSER to the normal value (see below). Note: it is not possible to hide a format in only one of these two dialogs, Open or Save As. Setting these flags hides the format in both places.
- To disable the ability to write the format, remove the EXPORT flag from the normal value (see below). This will also remove the format from the File | Save As or File | Export dialog. If the format can still be read, then existing documents in this format can be opened, but the File | Save option will be disabled and the user will only be able to save in a different format using Save As or Export.
- To disable the ability to read the format, remove the IMPORT flag from the normal value (see below). This will also remove the format from the File | Open dialog. If the format can still be written and it is not hidden, it will appear in the File | Export dialog instead of the File | Save As dialog.
- To disable the format completely, leave the flags' Value blank.
A flag can be added or removed from the normal value as follows: Navigate to the Explain tab, highlight and copy the normal value, navigate to the Setting tab, paste into the Value field, then edit the Value to add or remove flags, including the # delimiters.
For example, to remove Microsoft Word 6.0 as a file save option:
In org.openoffice.TypeDetection.Filter/Filters/Filter['MS WinWord 6.0']
copy the normal value for Flags and then remove the EXPORT flag
Also note if the format being hidden or disabled is currently set to the default format, the default format must first be changed. See Default File Formats.
Several other options related to saving files can be found in OpenOffice under the menu "Tools | Options | Load/Save | General". The options not discussed the the prior pages, including Always Create Backup Copy, are located in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/Document.
To set Always Create Backup Copy:
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/Document
set CreateBackup to True
When working with OpenOffice, a light bulb or other icon will frequently appear in the lower right corner of the application window. This icon is called the Help Agent. To disable the Help Agent:
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/Help/HelpAgent
set Enabled to False
OpenOffice displays a number of configuration options to the user under its "Tools | Options" menu. A listing of the options is included below.
Both the top-level groups and the sub-groups can be hidden using the settings in org.openoffice.Office.OptionsDialog/OptionsDialogGroups.
For example, to hide the top-level "Internet" group:
In org.openoffice.Office.OptionsDialog/OptionsDialogGroups/OptionsGroup['Internet']
Enable Hide
To hide the Internet Proxy settings sub-group:
In org.openoffice.Office.OptionsDialog/OptionsDialogGroups/OptionsGroup['Internet']\ Pages/OptionsPage['Proxy']
Enable Hide
The top-level and sub-level configuration option groups in OpenOffice are:
When running under Windows, OpenOffice by default uses the locale settings of the operating system. These settings can be overridden from the application by selecting the menu item "Tools | Options", then navigating to "Language Settings | Languages". Clicking "Help" on this page provides an explanation for each of the properties. These properties correspond to the following configuration settings:
UI language
In org.openoffice.Office.Linguistic/General
set UILocale to <LanguageID-CountryID>
Locale setting
In org.openoffice.Setup/L10N
set ooLocale to <LanguageID-CountryID>
Decimal separator key
In org.openoffice.Setup/L10N
set ooDecimalSeparatorAsLocale to True or False

In org.openoffice.Setup/L10N
set ooSetupCurrency to <CurrencyID-LanguageID-CountryID>
Default document language - Western
In org.openoffice.Office.Linguistic/General
set DefaultLocale to <LanguageID-CountryID>
Default document language - Asian
In org.openoffice.Office.Linguistic/General
set DefaultLocale_CJK to <LanguageID-CountryID>
Default document language - CTL
In org.openoffice.Office.Linguistic/General
set DefaultLocale_CTL to <LanguageID-CountryID>
Enhanced Language Support - Enabled for Asian
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/I18N/CJK
set all values to True or False
Enhanced Language Support - Enabled for CTL
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/I18N/CTL

Several settings related to memory usage can be changed in OpenOffice via the menu "Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Memory". The corresponding configuration settings are located in org.openoffice.Office.Common/Cache and org.openoffice.Office.Common/Undo.
A setting to enable or disable the OpenOffice Quickstarter is also found in OpenOffice's "Memory" options, however, there is no corresponding configuration setting. If you have a need to control the Quickstarter via Group Policy, please contact us and we can provide you with a solution.
The default maximum number of entries in the Recent Documents list is 10. This value can be changed:
In org.openoffice.Office.Common/History
set PickListSize to <the maximum number of entries>
In OpenOffice v2.0.1 and earlier, the default western fonts in OpenOffice Writer are Albany for headings (or Arial, if Albany is not present on the machine), and Thorndale for everything else (or Times New Roman, if Thorndale is not present on the machine).
The defaults can be changed to fonts more typical for Windows. For example, to change the default fonts to Times New Roman:
In org.openoffice.Office.Writer/DefaultFont
set Caption to Times New Roman
set Heading to Times New Roman
set Index to Times New Roman
set List to Times New Roman
set Standard to Times New Roman
The font heights are expressed in millimeters*100, which corresponds to the point size multiplied by 35.2777. For example, to set font size to 11 points, set StandardHeight to 388.
Document fonts can also be set by creating a default template for new documents. For more information, see Default styles for new documents.
