Summary
Use this tab page to enter or edit user data.
User data is used by templates and Wizards in LibreOffice. For example, the "First name" and "Last name" data fields are used to automatically insert your name as the author of a new document.
Some of the user data is included automatically in an internal dictionary so that it is recognized by the spellchecker.

To illustrate, if you specify a date of 1/1/30 or later, the entry "1/1/20" is recognized as 1/1/2020 instead of 1/1/1920.

|
Advanced
|
| You can choose to get a warning message when you save a document in a format that is not OpenDocument or which you did not set as default format in Load/Save - General in the Options dialog box.
|
Would be best to separate out cases where formatting is preserved and where it is lost. For the former, a simple warning in the Save as dialog should suffice. For the latter, it would be best to use a modal dialog both after saving and saving as.

| Opens the Edit custom dictionary dialog, in which you can add to your custom dictionary or edit existing entries.
In the Edit custom dictionary dialog you have the option to enter new terms or edit existing entries. If you edit an exception dictionary, the dialog has the added facility of defining an exception for a word. During the spellcheck this exception is then listed as a suggestion.
When a dictionary is edited, a check is made on the status of the file. If the file is write-protected, it cannot be changed. The buttons New and Delete are then deactivated.
