Also see the previous LibreOffice 4.0 features page and general hints on the advantages of LibreOffice at the Why-page. Text layout on Mac OS X has been ported from the deprecated (and 32-bit only). Add File Recent Documents Clear List feature (Ariel Constenla-Haile. Select the file format from the “Always save as” drop-down list that you want to use as the default for saving new files in LibreOffice. For example, if you want to always save your new documents in the most recent Microsoft Word format, select “Microsoft Word 2007-2013 XML”. Whenever you save files to a specific location on your Mac, OS X will save this location in a “Recent Places” listing which will be available the next time you save another file. This feature allows quick access to the folders you commonly use and hence saves a lot of your precious work time. In computing, an office suite is a collection of productivity software usually containing at least a word processor, spreadsheet and a presentation program.There are many different brands and types of office suites. Popular office suites include Microsoft Office, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Apache OpenOffice, and LibreOffice. The recent files list in VLC is designed to provide convenient shortcuts to the playlists or audio files you recently listened to or to the videos you received viewed. But if you want to prevent VLC from adding files to the Open Recent menu item, you can. Most of the instructions I came across were for Windows or were old.

Grateful for any advice. Running Mac OS 10.14.5 on mid-2014 MacBook Pro 2.5 i7.Just cancelled Office 365 sub. Attempting to reset LibreOffice as default app for .xlsx, .docx, .pptx files etc. but MS Office for Mac fired up every time, despite holding option and selecting LO as 'everytime'. Deleted MS Office for Mac apps to resolve issue and now when trying to open any files created in MS Office for mac I get the message: ' '[file]' is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.'Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Can't help wondering exactly which application is telling you that the file is (supposedly) damaged. Is it some pernicious remnant of MS Office, or is it your Operating System, or is it LibreOffice itself that is telling you that??

Thanks for responding. It's an OS message. Just noticed that when attempting to change default app for a .docx file it initially shows as 'Microsoft Word Document', then, when option-right clicking to 'always open with' LibreOffice the description changes to '3rd party formats' and I get the 'file is damaged' message.

Have you tried opening the file(s) from LibreOffice instead of Finder?

Thank you. I have now, and they seem to open without issue from within LibreOffice. Any idea why that would be?

Rule #1: DON'T PANIC!

My guess is the uninstallation of Office went pear-shaped at some point. Out of curiousity how did you uninstall? Uninstaller? Dragged the app to the Trash? AppCleaner? As @ve3oat said above I think it's also a 'pernicious remnant' of Office.

Thanks @gtomorrow. I'll come clean and admit that I couldn't find the uninstaller on my system (certain there was one with previous MS Orifice versions) so dragged them to the trash as was getting with them starting when they shouldn't. I just assumed (ass: me) that MS had got their act together and gone all clean and tidy.

Also thanks @gtomorrow for the solution. Will you rewrite your comment as an Answer, for the record? (As for me, I don't have a Mac so could not help beyond my initial comment.)

@Skizz dragging an app to the Trash does in fact uninstall but that method leaves behind a bunch of satellite files and in my experience Microsoft products (like Adobe products) spew the files all over the HD, some even hidden. If you have any doubt to what you're doing, don't search and destroy! I can't stress that enough.

@ve3oat thanks but Rule #1/opening files from the app instead of the file manager are so fundamental I couldn't even consider them as an 'answer'. If they were I could resolve at least 50% of the problems on this site! :D

@gtomorrow Yes and I know exactly what you mean. On the other hand, getting the question marked as Answered would help to educate those users who might look for that answer before posting the same old question yet again.
