Then delete everything in that list, and turn word completion off.

You probably will have to repeat that for every language that you have
collected words on.

There was at least one more list of words that OOo used for corrections,
but I don't remember where it was located, or how to turn it off.  Nor
do I remember if that word list migrated into LibO. (List # 3, and that
isn't a miscount.)

I don't think it does: it moves the graphic towards the right side of 
the window, not of the page. The Zoom slider changes the view of the 
document but not any of its contents. If you increase the zoom 
factor, the inserted graphic will appear to increase in size, but 
that is only because you have magnified the entire page. The graphic 
is unchanged in size or position on the (printed) page - a fact that 
you can quickly confirm by going to File | Page Preview (or clicking 
the Page Preview button in the Standard toolbar). It moves to the 
right of the LibreOffice window because by increasing the zoom factor 
you have enlarged the page display so that it now spills off the 
right side of the window.


To change the size of an inserted graphic:
o Click the graphic to select it - so that you see the eight coloured handles.
o Drag any of the handles to change the size. To retain the original 
aspect ratio, hold down Shift before releasing the mouse button.


Alternatively:
o Right-click the graphic and go to Picture... | Type.
o Tick "Keep ratio" if desired.
o Adjust the available options - in particular Width and Height under Size.

This is all described under "Resizing an image" on pages 259 and 260 
of Chapter 8: Working with Images of the Writer Guide (for version 
4.2), available from

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ .

I trust this helps.

The Status Bar certainly needs to be toggled on for you to see it at 
all, of course.


Have you downloaded the LibreOffice documentation - from
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ ? Use "Download 
User Guide (PDF)" to obtain the Getting Started Guide for version 5. 
The Status Bar is described on pages 24 and 25 of Chapter 1: 
Introducing LibreOffice. You can find this easily by searching for 
"status", of course. And yes: there is a labelled picture to help.


Here's another trick:
o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | General | Help and ensure 
that Tips and "Extended tips" are both ticked.
o Now hover your mouse pointer over parts of the Status Bar and wait 
for extended tips to appear, describing the function of each part.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Writer - back to single page

[V Stuart Foote]

Charles,

If you have a scroll mouse, on insert of the image still selected--i.e. the
8 green handles are visible--hold down the  key and scroll the mouse
wheel.  The zoom will follow (loosely) where the mouse pointer is located.

With out the image selected, the  and scroll will follow the edit
cursor position, so likely on left margin.

But, please post these use questions to the User group ML.

Stuart

Stuart,

That worked perfectly!

May I please follow up with a different question?

I want to insert an image into Libre Writer (not Draw).

I select Insert > Image and it inserts the .png into the middle of the
page/document.

But, it's very small. When I apply that Zoom slider in the lower right
it moves the image flush right so it's way over on the right side of
the page.

Is there a better way to view an image in Libre Writer or is that the
only real option?

Thanks so so mcuh for all your kind help.

Charles.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Writer - back to single page

[V Stuart Foote]

Charles, 

Might be easiest to reset your user profile to get back to default
configuration.

Otherwise, these steps...

1. Open a Writer document.
2. On main menu, be sure  View -> Status bar is checked active
3. Status bar then runs across bottom of the Application frame holding
LibreOffice
4. on the lower right is a Zoom level button
5. to left of that is a Zoom slider
6. to left of that are the three view modes--select one
Single-page view
Multi-page view
Book view

Default is Single-page view, select that and should get you back to work.

Stuart

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Writer - back to single page

[charles meyer]

Hi Folks,

I looked at these 2 pages but neither had a jpg of where I can see the
three icons on the status bar.

https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Status_Bar
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/22852/how-can-i-configure-the-status-bar/

Can someone please please share a graphic of that place on the status bar?

In my LW, I see the bar with Default, the bar above that with a floppy
icon and a bar above that with File|Edit\View.

Do I need to activate under Toolbars - the status bar?

I receive the digest of message from this group after midnight so
could you please email me privately as well if you post?

Thanks so much.

Best,

Charles.

If you double-click on the chart, then there is Format > Data Ranges in the

5.1.4.2/mint here. But it's behaved the same for as long as I remember.

OTOH, I'm charting a set of cells within the spreadsheet. If I

  "Opens the Data Table dialog where you can edit the chart data.

  The Data Table dialog is not available if you insert a chart that is

But if I double-click the chart and then R-click somewhere on it, I get 
different menus depending on what's been clicked (background, grid, 
point, trend line), but they /all/ finish with chart type, data ranges, 
copy, paste.


Do you have/can you borrow another machine you can run this on? IMO if 
you seriously think the installation is corrupted, reinstalling might be 
a good plan; but try moving your profile to one side first - I gather 
resetting that can cure a number of ills.


(BTW, it's almost always best to follow up to the list, rather than to 
any individual. At the very least, you get the benefit of the collected 
wisdom, while others may benefit from any discussion.)

No.

Double-click on the chart background to select it. Right-click on
