Please, describe step by step what you do and that does not work. Summary: please do not scream. Set status to NEEDINFO. Best regards. JBF

You can create a document in the document format you want: in the save as you can choose the format in the filepicker where you define th name of the file. Best regards. JBF

JBF You're right but if I choose as default to save the document as .doc - it doesnt work. So when I create a new one and save it it saves as .odf The problem is- it simply doesn't work. My mother (a total beginner) doesn't want to work on libraoffice couse her program at work (ms 2010) cant read .odf and she doesnt know how to save it rather than just set the safe default. Radek
The dialog is found in Tools -> Options -> Load Save -> General: in the "Default File Format and ODF Settings" section. There a drop-down list holds the primary "Document type:" Text document HTML document Master document Spreadsheet Presentation Drawing Formula And each type has a corresponding dorp-down list of options "Always save as:" with several formats for each, but respective defaults of: ODF Text document HTML document ODF Master document ODF Spreadsheet ODF Presentation ODF Drawing ODF Formula With a default (cleared) user profile: Selecting "Text document" and "Microsoft Word 97-2003" pair and OK'ing from the dialog, new Writer documents are saved as Word .doc Exit from LibreOffice and reopen. Return to the Tools -> Options ... dialog and the default file format persists. And new Writer documents are saved to Word 97 - 2003 .doc format. So, can not confirm as this works for me. Changing settings for default document save formats are applied and are persistent. =-=-= On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with Version: 5.1.0.2 (x64) Build ID: ecd3574d51754b043f865cf5bafee286d24db7cc CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: GL; Locale: en-US (en_US)
You're describing it how it supposed to work - I'm telling You that in my case it doesn't. I ran Win10, 4gb of ram, i5 4th gen processor. I was just trying to help out improve the program by sending my bug issue. Also when I install the program for the first time - clicking rick mouse button/trackpad and try to create a new libreoffice document - there's no option to do so. I have to reinstall it - than the documents "appear". Did so on 3 different computers. Sincerely Radek from Poland

I was simply providing more complete details that you had omitted, so others can attempt to reproduce. I could not as it functions correctly. Please clear your user profile [1] and be certain that no Apache OpenOffice or other version of LibreOffice is conflicting and retest.

Not reproducible for me with Version: 5.1.1.0.0+ Build ID: 055f20b8f2e2b8e1039c295784f01b7459c3a39f CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.2; UI Render: default; Ubuntu_15.10_x86-64 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8) What I did: 1/ Open LO 5.1, you are in the StartCenter 2/ Menu Tools > Options > Load/Save > General 3/ Document type : text 4/ Always save as : Office Open XML Text 5/ Ok 6/ click on Writer Document under Create 7/ in the empty new document type dt+F3 to create a dummy text 8/ ctrl+S and type a name without file extension ; validate 9/ in your file browser go where you saved your file and check its file extension. I my case it is .docx as expected. 10/ same test as 4/ with Microsoft Word 97-2003 and same result with, this time, the expected .doc extension. Same test with Version: 5.0.5.0.0+ Build ID: afa9abd94f1d178e0204deb3d155287e61d350b1 Ubuntu_15.10_x86-64 Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8) gave the same results Best regards. JBF

Photos 1-3 default .doc doesn't work Photos 4-5 work saving as default .doc on computer currently using - not working on other.
I've installed all 3 programs second time - now creating a new libredocument by rightclicking works (but didn't when I first installed it). On all computers had apache openoffice 4.
(In reply to Radek from comment #16) > Photos 1-3 default .doc doesn't work Argh! On photo 2 you wanted to create a new .odt file. And you got an .odt file as expected. To prove that default save does not work, you should try the same process as in my comment #9 Note: you see here why it is so important to describe really step by step how to reproduce the problem. Best regards. JBF
adjusting title, however the other issue OP is having with Windows file association is not related, i.e. to be able to open from Windows Explorer DE shell.
On photo 2 I'm trying to create an libreoffice document that supposed to be in changed default to doc (?!). From what I understand if this is impossible than the only program to create this way a .doc document is an outdated MS Office Word? -and that's not true couse I've done the same in openoffice and it worked. From what I understand if I change the default save from .odt to .doc - from this point on the default should be .doc - not .odt Or am I wrong?

Yes, I was wrong. I thought that creating a new document it should have the extention the defualt setup in the program was - in my case .doc. Jus installed openoffice to prove it - it proved me wrong. Nonetheless still cant save default on other computers as .doc. I will try to uninstall everything, clean computer with cc cleaner and try again. Sorry for trouble. Radek
What is the command line associated with the "OpenDocument text document" icon on the photo 2? Best regards. JBF

Indeed, this was working as expected. The shell "New" element copies a "template document" from C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\share\template\shellnew into a location specified by user. Note that this is done by system, no LibreOffice appears here. The files that LibreOffice provide are indeed ODF. The copy is also ODF. This is a bit similar to bug 133661, but in this case, there is nothing to be done, because the file type is not something that we can change in *existing* file (and at the moment LibreOffice opens the newly created file, its type is already defined by the system copy).
