What you see may be different
Illustrations
LibreOffice runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems, each of which has several
versions and can be customized by users (fonts, colors, themes, window managers). The
illustrations in this guide were taken from a variety of computers and operating systems. Therefore,
some illustrations will not look exactly like what you see on your computer display.
Also, some of the dialogs may be different because of the settings selected in LibreOffice. You can
either use dialogs from your computer system (default) or dialogs provided by LibreOffice. To
change to using LibreOffice dialogs:
1) On Linux and Windows operating systems, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General
on the menu bar to open the dialog for general options.
On a Mac operating system, go to LibreOffice > Preferences > General on the menu bar
to open the dialog for general options.
2) Select Use LibreOffice dialogs in Open/Save dialogs to display the LibreOffice dialogs.
3) Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog.
Icons
The icons used to illustrate some of the many tools available in LibreOffice may differ from the
ones used in this guide. The icons in this guide have been taken from a variety of LibreOffice
installations that use different sets of icons.
