Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing default margins and font for a group of users

As far as I understand I should be able to set the default font  and 
font size in the main.xcd file
The only problem is that Im not sure what the format should be... :(

I tried the template way. I created a template and copied it to every 
machine via a script. It does not seem to get used though. I think I 
need to tell every installation that it should use this file as the 
default template.  How would this be done? Also in the main.xcd file?
