How to Back Up and Transfer Your OpenOffice or LibreOffice Settings

Method 1 of 2:

On Windows

Go to C:UsersAppDataRoaming3
Copy the "user" folder and back it up wherever it's comfortable for you.
Now you have a backup of all your settings, autocorrection rules, templates, extensions and more.
After the installation of OO/LO go to C:UsersAppDataRoaming3 and replace the user folder that you'll find with the one that you previously backed up.
That was your last step. Now open OO/LO and enjoy your old settings and all the other stuffs you were used to have.

Method 2 of 2:

On Linux

Go to:
1. /home//.openoffice/4/user OR
2. /home//.openoffice.org/3/user/home//.config/libreoffice/3/user for LibreOffice OR
3. /home//.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/ for OpenSuse 13
Copy the contents of this file or the file itself to your backup location.
This file can then be placed into the same location for another Linux machine or new OO/LO installation.
