I entered incorrect browser path. How do I fix that?

On Windows XP with OpenOffice.org 3.0 Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user (replace USER with your actual user name) and delete the writertools folder. On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the path is C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user. Next time you use Writer's Tools, you'll be prompted to enter the path to a browser.

On Linux with OpenOffice.org 3.0 Navigate to the hidden OpenOffice.org folder in your home directory and delete the writertools folder. Next time you use Writer's Tools, you'll be prompted to enter the path to a browser.
