<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="11" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>You can set a global configuration so that it applies to all documents of this type, or you can connect the configuration to a specific document, which must exist as a file.</p>
<ol class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="12" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Load the document that you want to connect to the configuration, or open any document of the same type.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="13" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Set the configuration. For example, select the toolbars you want to have visible or define what is on the toolbars, menus or Status Bar, and so on. All such configuration options are found under <span class="T1">Tools - Configure</span>.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="14" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Click <span class="T1">Save</span> in the dialog <span class="T1">Tools - Configure</span>. Another dialog appears in which you can save the configuration.</p>
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="16" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>In the large list box of the <span class="T1">Save</span> dialog, select the file you want to connect to the configuration.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="17" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Click <span class="T1">Save</span>. A prompt appears, asking whether you want to replace the file or not. This query concerns only the configuration connected to the document, not the contents of the document.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="19" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>The current configuration is now connected to the document that you selected in the <span class="T1">Save</span> dialog.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="20" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>As soon as you load or open this document, the saved configuration becomes active. The global default configuration is restored when you load or open another document that does not contain custom configuration information. You can select manual settings at any time by choosing <span class="T1">Tools - Configure</span> and clicking the <span class="T1">Reset</span> button.</p>
