To specify the default save format, use the Options dialog (Tools | Options from the menu). Expand the Load/Save section and click on General.
At the bottom of the dialog, there's a section titled "Standard file format." Choose a file type from the list box (for example, "Text document" or "Spreadsheet") and then, in the dropdown list, choose the file format you want to use for that type of file.
Office formats are available for text documents, spreadsheets and presentations. When you've made all the changes you want, click OK to save your changes. Warning messages will appear; see "When I save documents in Office format, I get a warning that formatting might be lost. What formatting is lost and what can I do about it?" elsewhere in this FAQ.
No matter what format you choose as default, you can always save a particular file in a different format by using File | Save As from the menu.

A very nice Graphical Interface for telnet, ssh, rlogin to other machines which remember parameters for each machines like port, username and password. Have been using it for a while and like it much rather than typing on gnome-terminal
ssh username@machines
and don't a have a lists of machines which I want to remote.
gnome-telnet is available on fedora-extra repository. Make sure file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extra.repo has enabled=1 option
To install it type:
yum -y install gnome-telnet

You can type this command as root: yum -y thunderbird
but since I already downloaded before to my server, so this is my command
mkdir -p /root/fcupdate/apps
cd /root/fcupdate/apps
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... 4.i386.rpm
yum -y localinstall thunderbird-1.0.7-1.1.fc4.i386.rpm
cd
Now Login as user and follow this step to make Thunderbird as your Default email client on Gnome
"Desktop" > "Preferences" >
"More Preferences" > "Preferred Applications"
and selecting "Thunderbird Mail" in the drop-down menu under the Mail Reader tab.
Or you can edit file /usr/share/applications/redhat-email.desktop as root
and replace the line
Exec=launchmail
with
Exec=thunderbird
To simplify setting the same configuration for most PCs I have put file redhat-email.desktop to server and create a script to update user's launcmail configuration. Below is the script:
#Script name: ic.thunderbird.sh
#Install and configure Thunderbird for default email client
#date 1 March 2006
#It should be run as root otherwise you get error
mkdir -p /root/fcupdate/apps
cd /root/fcupdate/apps
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... 4.i386.rpm
yum -y localinstall thunderbird-1.0.7-1.1.fc4.i386.rpm
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... il.desktop
cp --reply=yes redhat-email.desktop /usr/share/applications
cd
#done
