Hi,

Recently, I installed Collabora Office on my Windows PC

 ![grafik](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/collaboraonline/original/2X/f/ff44a76d893210df20cf39652313595932e0862a.png)

The look and feel is nice and I like it much more than LibreOffice.

However, I am missing a menu item for general settings, like the default file format. I would expect an Options entry in the Tools menu (the menu is called “Extras” in the German version). But it is not there.

Any help welcome.

Hi,

I also would like to access Tools menu, because I would like to disable automatic replacement of single quotes 🙃
