How to remove libreoffice configuration/settings in debian based linux to fix the settings change problems?

Some times we do accidentally change the some settings of the libreoffice and endup with
1. weird/awakward views of our documents
2. problems in exporting our documents from one format to another say .odt to .doc
3. Alignment issues etc.,

So, If you don't know how to revert the settings/configuration you changed, or forget what changes you made.. there is one simple way to revert to the default settings.  i.e removing the configuration data of that particular user to libreoffice.

One can find this libreoffice configuration/settings file at the following path in debian based linux like ubuntu, BOSS GNU/Linux etc.
/home//.config/libreoffice/  <-- b="">Inside this you have directory named user.  Just remove(or cut & paste to some other place) this directory and launch the Libreoffice application again.  

Note:
.config is hidden file so you first enable your file browser to see the hidden files by the short cut CTRL+h.

How to insert a table in your blogpost without much work?

Almost all of the bloggers(blogspot users, I don't know about wordpress features) face this while they writing some blog posts.  Many time we like to include a table in the blogpost, Due to the extra coding work (we need to write table creating html code manually) we don't do it.  Table is a very simple feature to add, but i don't know why google didn't added this to the blogger... :(.  Hope they will soon make us one.

  So, lets come to the point.  It is pretty much easy to insert a table with contents.  There is a web(site) [Tableizer]url which gives u this table creation as a service.  And the things is you are allowed to modify the table's view like colour, font, font size etc.

How to:
1.  Use your office suite's spread sheet application (ms excel, libreoffice calc etc).  Yes, am not kidding just input the  contents then copy that.

2. Goto this Tableizer url and paste it at the given box.  Click -> Tableize it.  Thats all.

3.  Copy the shown visual table(or the html code) and paste it into your post.

For example I want to create a 3x3 table with input 1..9 like this.

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Open libreoffice -> calc -> input 1,2,3 in first row, 4,5,6 in second row, 7,8,9 in third row.  Copy that 3x3 cells with the content, now follow steps 2 & 3.  The resultant table is shown below.

123
456
789

you are done... :)
