Apache OpenOffice saves AutoText entries to categories in files with a *.bau extension. You can make custom AutoText files available to all users or to individual users of a network installation of Apache OpenOffice.

Template:Documentation/Note

To Add AutoText Files For All Users of an Apache OpenOffice Network Installation

  1. Become root.
  2. Copy the AutoText *.bau files to the network-install-dir/share/autotext/ directory.

To Add AutoText Files to a Workstation Installation of Apache OpenOffice

  1. Become root.
  2. Copy the AutoText *.bau files to the installation-dir/user/autotext/ directory on the workstation.

To Add an AutoText Directory to an Apache OpenOffice Installation

  1. In any Apache OpenOffice program, choose Tools → Options → Apache OpenOffice → Paths.
  2. In the list of default paths, select AutoText, and then click Edit.
  3. In the Select Paths dialog box, click Add.
  4. Locate the directory that contains the AutoText *.bau files that you want to add and click the OK button.
  5. In the Select Paths dialog box, click OK.
  6. In the Options → Apache OpenOffice → Paths dialog box, click OK.
  7. Exit Apache OpenOffice.
    Apache OpenOffice saves the AutoText path to the install-dir/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu configuration file.
  8. Copy the code below into the appropriate Common.xcu file.
    • To make the AutoText directory available to all users of the Apache OpenOffice network installation, copy the code into the install-dir/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu file.
    • To make the AutoText directory available to a single user of a Apache OpenOffice network installation, copy the code into the install-dir/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu file.
