General
Specifies the general settings for OpenOffice.org.
Year (two digits)
Defines a date range, within which the system recognizes a two-digit year.
In OpenOffice.org, years are indicated by four digits, so that the difference between 1/1/99 and 1/1/01 is two years. This Year (two digits) setting allows the user to define the years in which two-digit dates are added to 2000. To illustrate, if you specify a date of 1/1/30 or later, the entry "1/1/20" is recognized as 1/1/2020 instead of 1/1/1920.
Help
Specifies the behavior of the online help.
