Thank you - I will check that out. It sounds useful.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Insert Special Characters
Dear Harald, > I think they changed it to make it easier. > >Double-click on a special character will insert it into the document.< Yes, I read that. But it doesn't make it easier - in fact it makes it much more difficult. Before I could single click on anything between 1-10 (or more) characters in the character map, then click 'Insert' and the whole string was dropped neatly into my document. Now I have to double click each character (and vowel-point/accent) in turn, then re-enter Insert Special Character. Not a clever choice.

[libreoffice-users] Insert Special Characters
Hi, I have just taken an upgrde (with Linux Mint) from LO 5.something to 7.3.7.2. Lots of good things, but I'm really upset about the way Insert Special Characters has changed. I used to be able to enter a long string (one or more words) in Hebrew or Greek characters, with them being compiled in a box below the character set, then hit 'insert' to put the whole thing into my document. Now, it seems as though I have to do it one character at a time, which is much more time-consuming. If there any way to get the old behaviour?

I'm running LO 5.1.6.2 on Linux Mint - Sarah. F11 gets up the style table. Select page styles, then right click the roman number page style and select 'Modify'. I can't see anything on the tabs to set the page number style. Is it Organiser/Page/Area/ Transparency/Header/Footer/Borders/Columns/Footnote? I actually set the page number format to lower-case roman when I put the page number field in the footer with Insert->Field->More Fields and chose the format I wanted. > Just insert TOC.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page Numbers in TOC
Dear K, > Ups, you need roman page numbers, not indication of heading level. > What tripped me is that it works without problem in my set up so I > made wrong assumption when skimming the text. Yes, that's right. I actually want the roman number 'iii' to appear in the automatic TOC as it does on the page being referenced. Now the strange thing is that if I insert a bookmark on that page and put the bookmark reference in a manual TOC, it gets the roman number bit right. So why can't the automatic TOC?

[libreoffice-users] Page Numbers in TOC
Hi All, Why doesn't the page number format in the TOC follow the page numbers on the pages? I have a series of roman-numerated pages (i-xiii) followed by a block of conventional pages (1-...). The TOC has an H1 entry for a roman page with the correct number, but shown as '3' rather than 'iii'. How do I fix this?

[libreoffice-users] Struggling with Hebrew in LO
Dear List, I'm struggling with using mixed English and Hebrew text in LO. This is a fully up-to-date LO 5.1.4.2 in a new installation of Linux Mint. When I type English text, the letters come out in the right order, but the punctuation goes at the beginning of the line, until the next letter is typed which is strange but sort-of-OK in mid-sentence but no good at end of the paragraph. Attempting to combine Hebrew and English text in the same sentence, as it were to say 'shalom' in flight, assembles the language blocks the wrong way round. Using Alt-Ctrl-8 and Alt-Ctrl-9 doesn't seem to fix this and the Shift-Ctrl-D and Alt-Shift combinations are also dysfunctional. The font-name (selected as SBL Hebrew) switches once characters are typed to DejaVu Sans. This is probably all very familiar to someone (if not all), so anyone help me to get this working correctly, please?

That is amazing - just about everything I need and with less effort than I imagined. Thank you so much for the explanation.

This will be very useful too, as some of the text is some way (and pages) from the latest section heading and there may well be tables as well.

[libreoffice-users] Internal Bookmarks
Dear List, A document I am writing needs to have internal references in its footnotes and I really need to be able to keep these automatically up-to-date with the page numbers. They would look this (here ascii-fied): [176] 6.4.2 Session Highlights, 47 I expect to provide the section number and title, but the page number '47' in the example above ought to track from the text itself. How can I plant the marker in the original text and then reference it in the footnote?

[libreoffice-users] Problem Installing Dictionaries
Hi All, I'm having problems installing the English dictionaires into LO. This is with LO on a fully up-to-date Fedora 23 laptop. The .oxt file downloads and appears to start. Then I get a valid but empty pop-up screen with just an 'OK' button, while the blue progress bar flashes on a fairly rapid but intermittent basis. Otherwise LO is completely unresponsive and needs to 'Force Quit' to back out. This happens both as 'root' and an ordinary user. How can I move forward from here and install the dictonaries so that the spell-check and thesaurus options start working?
