László Németh <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |WORKSFORME CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #21 from László Németh <[email protected]> --- There are two solutions: the first is to create new page styles for the abbreviated titles, which is good for a long Chapter 1, which always starts on a new page (more information: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/header_pagestyles.html). The other solution is more general and likely comfortable, too: using a hidden short heading after the long heading – and if you need the short version on the first page, too, repeating that before the long heading, too. The header/footer show the abbreviated heading, which is invisible in the body text and in the ToC. A working test document is attached. – To show the hidden abbreviated headings referred in the header using style-ref, enable Tools→Options→LibreOffice Writer→Formatting Aids→Hidden characters; – To hide the short heading: select the whole heading with its paragraph mark, then enable Hidden in Format→Character→Font Effects. Note: the test document works with OpenOffice.org 3.2.1, LibreOffice 7.3.7.2. and the recent development version, too. Note: Because this method is not trivial at all, I suggest to extend the help about abbreviated headings in the header/footer. Moreover, the Help lacks of information: the Hidden effect is missing on the Font Effect pane and its Help page: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/05020200.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3153514). It was part of OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice 7.3.7.2, and it is part of the recent master again. @RGB & all: Thanks for the bug report and comments! Special thanks to Dávid Pénzes, who, as the composer of the Neveléstudomány (scientific journal of ELTE University, Budapest, which university was the conference venue of LiboCon 2025), has been asking me for advice on this for a very long time, but at that time I hadn't yet discovered this solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
