[libreoffice-users] Question about document/template interaction
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 / 5.3.5.2 on Linux Lite. I wrote a document based on a specific template. As I did so, I added four new styles to the document. Is there a way to automagically incorporate these new styles into the specific template, such that when I create a new document based on it, the new styles will be included in it? Thanks for helping.

When I try at the end of a line to write a comma right after a word (such as here,) the comma won't stay with the word but instead be moved to the beginning of the next line (like this ,) This did not happen to me with earlier versions of Writer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] End-of-line comma misbehaving in Writer 4.2.7.2 (Build 420m0) on Linux Mint 17
I must've done a mistype when I'd tried to append the comma to the last word on the line. Indeed, when I went back to the text I am working on, the problem suddenly disappeared, like it had solved itself... So, my bad.

[libreoffice-users] How to edit a signature file into a PDF document
A paper form has been sent to me to be filled out. I scanned it as a PDF file into my Mint Maté 17 box, opened it in LO Draw (v. 4.2.7.2), typed the necessary data into the relevant locations, then re-exported the edited file as PDF. The edited file, containing the added text, opens properly in other applications such as Adobe Reader or Document Viewer. In Draw I then tried to add a PNG signature file to the PDF, but the File option of the Insert menu is greyed out, so that I don't know how to add the signature file to the PDF. I cannot do it manually because my handwriting is impaired. What should I do?

A conference or convention announcement is certainly not as disruptive as some of the other off-topic conversations bloating this list... Just my 2 cents. I'm a user, on the users list, and some of the discussions on this list that are considered off-topic do interest me, and I feel should be brought out into the open, even if they're not purely about helping other users with problems. Any users that post to the list with questions get answers fairly regularly and fairly promptly, so I don't see that this list is in any way failing in its purpose. And I don't see that some extra cross-talk on the list can be in any way detrimental. To the contrary, better that than than an empty, silent ghost-list, like some I've seen. You can almost hear the tumbleweed blowing about in those lists.

[libreoffice-users] Trouble with LO Writer templates
Having trouble understanding (and managing) the hyerarchical workings of Writer templates. In a template I call Memoranda_Dbl, I have a style named Text Body. Property Settings: Organizer: Name=Text Body; Next Style = Text Body; Linked with = Default Style Indents Spacing: Line Spacing 1.5; Indent Before/After and Space Above/Below = 0.00 (same as Default Style) IMHO, when I produce the next Text Body paragraph (by typing Enter) I should get a paragraph with settings equal to the previous paragraph. But, what does LO do when in the document I attempt to produce a new paragraph? Before (pointer at end of current paragraph): http://s25.postimg.org/qjttw0q8v/Text_Body_before_new_para.png After typing Enter: http://s25.postimg.org/88yf0bhen/Text_Body_after_new_para.png The paragraph spacing changes from 1.5 to single-spaced! If then I happen to type Enter once more, the previous paragraph turns bold and takes on different above/below features. What am I missing here, or doing wrong?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Need help with Base
IIRC MySql is owned by Oracle, but *MariaDB is not*, so I believe there should be no problem using MariaDB to connect with Base via the appropriate connector.

Many people go for MySql or MariaDb (unless using a Mac) but that's owned by Oracle and some worry about the future of free or Open Source under Oracle. Many go for faster, lighter java back-ends such as Hsqldb as an external but others worry about the whole java issue. So Postgresql might well be a good choice.

[libreoffice-users] Tools/Customise: Strange keyboard shortcut behavior
This concerns LO 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Linux Mint 13 (Maya) LTS. In Writer, clicking on the down / up buttons below the vertical scroll bar will - properly - move the focus to the top of the following / previous page. However, I would much prefer to do that via a keyboard shortcut. In the Navigate category of Writer's Tools/Customize menu there are two functions that should potentially achieve this: Previous Page and Next Page. In the Shortcut Keys frame I've assigned Alt+PgDn (=Next(!) in the frame) to Next Page resp. Alt+PgUp (=Prior(!)) to Previous Page, but the result is not the same as with the mouse click: it is more like an ordinary scrolling motion. Writer does not react at all to a simple PgUp or PgDn keypress. Is there another way that I might achieve via the keyboard the same effect as with the navigation button clicks?
