LibreOffice and A4

[Tom Horsley]

Grrr... Aargh... The 2 or 3 times a year I have to use
a word processor, I spend infinitely more time fighting
with the A4 default in LibreOffice than I do actually
composing the document.

Anyone know of any tool anywhere that will go through
a LibreOffice installation and consistently replace
A4 with Letter everywhere in all preferences, templates, etc?

The same question for English (UK) dictionary
versus English (USA) dictionary for spell checking.

Some sort of site preferences tool would be really
useful (especially if it could automagically set
site preferences using geolocation :-).

Good day

LibreOffice uses the global settings of your installation.

In Fedora 24  you can check it in:

Settings -> System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats -> Region

You can change your Region to "United States - American English (en_US)"
This should take care of your paper size to "Letter" and probably your
dictionary as well.

I hope this helps

Menu path doesn't exist in XFCE that way.

Not 100% this will solve it but have you tried localectl?

man localectl

localectl list-locales
localectl set-locale [LOCALE]
