I have to say that I'm a traditionalist. One reason I prefer LO to MS Office is the toolbar layout. With MS Office I wasted too much time trying to find what I wanted. Graham On Fri, 6 Jul 2018 at 17:41, M Henri Day wrote: > Den fre 6 juli 2018 kl 17:18 skrev Graham Luffrum : > >> I've had

I've had a quick look at 6.1.0.1 and the toolbars have changed and I can get back to the "default" from every variant. So maybe my problem with 6.0.5.2 is not worth pursuing. Graham On Fri, 6 Jul 2018 at 17:08, M Henri Day wrote: > Den fre 6 juli 2018 kl 16:45 skrev Graham Luffrum : > >>

Hi :) Hopefully 'just' teething problems that will be ironed out fairly quickly, inshalla. Were you able to follow the route; Tools - Options - Advanced - Expert and then search for relevant options to get the main top menu back again? Regards from a Tom :) On 6 July 2018 at 15:43, Graham

This is all very well, but on my system (6.0.5.2 under Linux Mint 18.1) the settings icon does not work which means that I can get back to the default only by changing the Notebooktoolbar settings. Also the menubar is not shown by default - again this requires changes to the Notebooktoolbar

Hi :) A lot of normal users see the normal menu and icon-bar as being old and arrive at the conclusion that LibreOffice is old. The 'new' ribbon-bar / Notebookbar will probably help reduce barriers to migrating people away from MS Office. It prolly needs a lot more polish because it's the first

Perhaps rather foolishly I tried out the Notebookbar, but then discovered that there appears to be no way back despite what is written in the article. In the top right-hand corner there is a button, but it doesn't appear to do anything. I'm using 6.0.5.2 under Linux Mint 18.1. Graham On Tue,
