[libreoffice-users] Fields always marked as spelling errors
Hi: This is a trivial issue, but every field in my Writer documents is displayed with a blue squiggly line beneath it just as if it were a spelling error. I've looked around in vain for a way to disable spell checking of fields (if that is indeed what is causing the annoyance). By field I mean things like page numbers, cross-references and such. Cross-references to reference rather than page number seem to be a special case, though, as sometimes they only have the squiggly line in footnotes, but sometimes it appears in both body text as well as footnotes. The Tools|Options sections of Writer only seem to permit changing (or eliminating) the normal background color used to mark the fields, and I was unable to locate anything in the spell check stuff to ignore fields. This is obviously a pretty trivial thing, but if anyone knows why this happens or if there is anything I can do to clean up the display I would appreciate it. Thanks, and have a great New Year. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fields-always-marked-as-spelling-errors-tp4134500.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: PDFs
what ???

[libreoffice-users] Re: Fields always marked as spelling errors
Thanks again. The grammar checking on my system is LanguageTool v2.6, which may account for the differences I see. I'll try disabling that and installing the LightProof extension. Although it says Latest release compatible with: LibreOffice 3.3 , LibreOffice 3.4 , LibreOffice 3.5 that apparently doesn't mean that it won't work with 4.x versions, just that the author hasn't verified that. I'll post back when I've had a chance to make that switch.

[libreoffice-users] Deleting 2nd page in Libre Writer 4.3.5.2
Hi Folks, I just up[graded to the latest Libre Office version 4.3.5.2 and I've found it's quite different than my older 3.0 version. I have a 2 page document (opened as a .jpg) in Libre Writer but I can't seem to find how I would delete the 2nd page so I can save the document as one page. I Googled How do I delete a page in Libre Writer 4.3.5.2 and the results were just about where I could download the program. Thanks so much.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Deleting 2nd page in Libre Writer 4.3.5.2
Hi Charles, I'm afraid there is some confusion here: On Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:49:47 -0500 charles meyer reachmepl...@gmail.com wrote: I have a 2 page document (opened as a .jpg) in Libre Writer If the file is a .jpg, it's not a document, it's a picture, and should then open in LibreOffice Draw, not Writer. If it is a document, and opened in Writer, it should not be a .jpg. but I can't seem to find how I would delete the 2nd page so I can save the document as one page. If this is a document, then you don't delete pages, you delete the contents (which is just text, formatted in one way or another), until there is only enough to fit on a single page. If there is too much content, Writer will automatically make it go onto the next page. Of course, you can make the font of the text smaller (and maybe the margins wider and that sort of thing), so that with the same content, it takes up less space and perhaps fits on a single page. If you really have a .jpg file, an image, then it should not open in Writer, it should open in Draw. Unless you are trying to insert the picture into a text document. In either case if the image is so large that it takes up two pages, then you should be able to resize the image to fit on one page. This makes the image itself smaller, so may not be what you want. Instead, you may want to edit the image in Draw and remove some of the contents of the image, so that it takes up less space and fits on one page. All this depends on what you want to achieve. Are you trying to get what you currently have small enough to fit on a single page, or are you trying to remove some of what you currently have, so that what you are left with is small enough to fit on one page? Your question was a little confusing, so I thought it best to explain in detail; please ignore any of the above that you already know. Hopefully some of what I've said is new and gives you the hint you need to figure out how to solve your problem.
