Start Up Question

Folks,

I seem to have gotten one of my settings messed up, and do not know how I did it.

I want each instance of a spread sheet, document, presentation to be separate not connected. If I quit a spread sheet I want just that one to go away, NOT all of them.

I have more then one set of files I am working with in separate directories. I do not want them connected, in any way.

It used to work that way under open office, however, libre office they are connected; somehow..

Current version in use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with LO from a PPA at version 4.0.4.2.

How do I fix the problem?

Cheers,
Jay

Hi Jay,

I run Libre Office in Ubuntu also. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 with Unity. I use the LO from the Document Foundation and not the PPA. The three applications I use most are Writer, Calc, and Base. I always place each of them in the Launcher. Many times I will have all three open at the same time. If I close Writer, Calc and Base stay open. I've never had any issue with closing a document in one closing any of the others which are open. A few days ago I went from LO 4.0.5.2 to LO 4.1.1.2. The 4.1.1.2 has some bugs in with respect to using it with Unity. It works, but not really as it should.

I always close a doc with F4. After pressing this I am returned to another doc or the "start center" if no other docs are open.

Using Fedora 19 and 4.1.1.2

Folks,

In attempting to discover why I had this problem and no one else did, I found that the way I was closing the file was by EXITING Libre Office not CLOSING the file. The package works as documented; mea culpa.

Thanks Brian...
