Added alternative means of customising using Common.xcu
== Customizing ==
 
=== General ===
 
==== MSI Transform ====
According to the [http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf OpenOffice.org 2 setup guide], you can customize an automated installation using Microsoft's [http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/255905/EN-US/? Orca] tool.
However, certain ==== MSI Installer Switches ==== Certain customizations are possible without Orca. For example, [http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=497 AppDeploy.com] gives the tip for making OpenOffice.org the default program for Microsoft Office file types:
msiexec /qb! /i openofficeorg20.msi ALLUSERS=1 SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1
See the new documentation [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Automatic_Installation_on_Windows Automatic Installation on Windows at the OpenOffice.org Wiki] for a detailed documentation of all the MSI properties.
If you would like ==== soffice.ini ==== You can edit options in %ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\soffice.ini. For example to disable the splash screen, place ''sed.exe'' and the dependencies (''libiconv2.dll'' and ''libintl3.dll'') from [http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm GnuWin32] into your tools folder. Then add the following lines to the bottom of each section:
<source lang="xml">
</source>
==== Common.xcu ====
 
Alternatively, create a user's OpenOffice profile directory (%APPDATA%\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice) and copy the following file (Common.xcu) there before (or after) they run OpenOffice.
 
Example configuration which will warn when print for paper orientation and size; auto save every 10 minutes; not AutoCorrect URLs; set the graphics cache's memory per object to 5MB;
set the total graphics cache to use for OpenOffice to 33MB:
