Description: Currently when opening a document it defaults to page view. I would like to be able to set the default view for opening all Writer documents to web view. I would like this default to be overridden if the file being opened contains view information. The currently recommended work around is to write a macro that sets current view to web view and is run by the events 'open document' and 'new document'. This solution is not optimal, and for those who don't want JRE, not available. Steps to Reproduce: N/A: Feature request. 1. Open document or create new document 2. Document is in Print view when Web view is preferred. 3. Go to 'View' and click radio button 'Web' Actual Results: N/A: Feature request. Expected Results: 1. Open Writer 2. Go Tools --> Options --> LibreOffice Writer --> View 3. In this window under the View title a new options exists as Default Layout 4. New option Default Layout has two radio buttons, (1) Page View, (2) Web View 5. The chosen option causes writer to behave in the same manner as if, after opening or creating a document, the user had selected that view. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Caution: writing code that emulates a radio button click of Web View will cause a problem because the current implementation toggles instead of selects the radio buttons as per bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62182 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.59 Safari/537.36

I tried it and it worked for me.

A: > Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community > Build ID: 60(Build:1) > CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) > Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB > Calc: threaded https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/standard/x86_64/libreoffice-7.6.4.1-1.2.x86_64.rpm 2. B: Confirmed to affect any DOC, DOCX, and ODT document. Probably any Writer-compatible document. 3. C: Enable web view whilst viewing a document. 4. D: I don't believe that they would demonstrate the issue - a video recording would, but it's unnecessary. 5. E: As https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103326#c3 requests, the relevant recommendation is presumably from https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/set-web-view-as-default/30071/7?u=rokejulianlockhart. Note that it's obviously consequently unofficial. > Please do not: > > a) respond via email > > b) update the version field in the bug or any of the other details > on the top section of our bug tracker Why not update the version information?

As I mentioned in comment 1, you can customise your default template to open in web view. > > Please do not: > > > > a) respond via email > > > > b) update the version field in the bug or any of the other details > > on the top section of our bug tracker > > Why not update the version information? That is a precaution for the case when people raise the version because they don't read that the field says "earliest affected".
