How to set libreoffice to save as .doc by default?

[john]

Hi Richard,

I looked at that file but it scared me off. I have never seen a less
friendly config file. Luckily using your tip I found someone
http://davidmburke.com/2011/04/16/linux-in-schools/  had written a
little sed stanza to make the fix

sudo sed -i 's/<prop
oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter"><value>writer8<\/value>/<prop
oor:name="ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter"><value>MS Word 97<\/value>/g'
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/registry/writer.xcd

Seems to be working properly.

Thanks for your help

John
