Registering at FIRST startup of OpenOffice

Post by AntiMS4ever »

Okay, I did a stupid thing the first time I started OpenOffice. After typing my first name, I hit the enter key instead of the tab key. Even by uninstalling and reinstalling OO, I still can't get back to that dialog box to input the rest of my name and my initials. Does anyone have a solution to this?
OpenOffice 4.1.5 on Windows 10.

G'day, and welcome to the community forum.

Tools | Options | OpenOffice | User Data - just do the Forename/Surname/Initials part. From the Help (F1)

"User data is used by templates and Wizards in OpenOffice. For example, the "Forename" and "Surname" data fields are used to automatically insert your name as the author of a new document. You can see this under File - Properties.
Some of the user data is included automatically in an internal dictionary so that it is recognised by the spell checker. If typing errors are made, the program can use this data to suggest replacements. Note that changes to data take effect only after OpenOffice is restarted."
