[libreoffice-users] Indexing problem
I have just noticed a very undesirable problem with Libre Office, and one that I cannot find a way around. When a word is selected to be an index entry (Insert Indexes and tables Entry), the width of the word is increased slightly––sometimes enough to push the last word on that line on to the next line (and so making a mess of my nice tight spacing). I know that indexing a word creates a tag (a very long one) in the underlying XML file, but this is invisible and presumably should have no effect on the visible document. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Even so-called Desktop Publishing tools such as Publisher tend to mangle things quite badly. The quality of documents created with Writer is far far higher but it's still unlikely to compete with proper DTP tools such as LaTeX. But kerning is a function of the font, not of the application. The kerning in Libre Office is fine, provided the appropriate kerning is built in to the fonts you use. I have used Libre Office (with various fonts) in professional publishing.

John Jason Jordan wrote: I'm also curious why this works only with the LinuxLibertineG fonts. Adobe InDesign had these features 14 years ago, and they have always worked with any OTF font installed on the computer . . . The reason is that Graphite and Opentype (OTF) are rival formats for providing advanced typographic features. Graphite (in my opinion) is a dead end. It was created by and is promoted by the Summer Institute of Linguistics, which offers four or five fonts in this format. Philipp Poll has created two Graphite fonts (Linux Libertine and Biolinum). That is the total stock of Graphite fonts on the planet. It seems exceedingly unlikely that there will ever be any more, mainly because it is so difficult to create them. Opentype was promoted by Adobe and Microsoft but is now the subject of a formal international standard (under a slightly different name, Open Font Format). There are thousands of Opentype fonts, and the number is being constantly added to, not only because Opentype features are implemented in Adobe Indesign and Quark Xpress but also because it is relatively easy to create Opentype fonts, or to add Opentype features to existing fonts. Of course the immediate problem for users of Libre Office is that it does not implement Opentype layout features––one of the biggest shortcomings of the program.

[libreoffice-users] Libre Office quitting
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on a peculiar (but serious!) problem that I’ve had all day. Libre Office (on Ubuntu 11.10) constantly quits without warning. It happens sometimes when I use certain keys, such as page up and page down, or backspace or delete, or when I copy and paste text, or sometimes when I‘m doing nothing. It never goes for more than two or three minutes without quitting. I changed the language settings; I changed keyboard layouts; I saved one document as plain text (.txt) and reopened it in Libre Office; I did a search for rogue characters ([\x-\x0008] and [\x000B-\x001F]), in case that could cause the problem. I even purged and reinstalled Libre Office, but to no avail. On the other hand, I did try opening and changing other documents, without any problem. Could there be a fault connected only with one or two particular documents? If so, what can it be? Everything was working perfectly yesterday, and I don’t recall doing anything in particular today that could have created the problem. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office quitting
Hello, Jay. I should have said that it’s in Writer only. I’m using Libre Office 3.4.3 (build 302), from the Ubuntu repository. I’m using Gnome Classic, not Unity (and on a fairly dated computer). Today was a disaster, but also may have led to a discovery. Having tried everything else, I resorted to purging Libre Office altogether from my computer and reinstalling from scratch. Same problem. Going on the supposition that the problem was specific to a particular document, I reconstructed the complex document I was working on, starting with a new layout, styles, and all the components copied from various places. That took me most of the day (and I’m not finished yet). Everything seemed to be working properly now; then, when I copied in the text from one particular file (a .docx file that I received from someone else), the problem began again. I noticed what seemed to be a space at the end of each paragraph (which, incidentally, is a very common feature of Microsoft files copied into Open Office or Libre Office). Now, though, the application would quit every time I tried to delete one by backspacing over it or using the delete key. After many failures I managed to get rid of them all (I hope) by selecting “cut” from the menu, or pasting other text over the mystery space. I saved one of these characters and pasted it into Character Map to see if I could identify it (and so be able to search for it in the future), but it won’t allow me to paste it in. If this is the source of the problem (and of course I don’t know for certain that it is) I would hardly expect an application to quit because of the presence a particular invisible character. That’s today’s episode of the saga! -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The diaeresis was first used for Greek, to show that a vowel was pronounced separately and not part of a diphthong; this was later applied to French for the same purpose (hence “naïve”), but the same mark was later applied to German for umlaut, which was originally shown by means of a small 〈e〉 over the letter.

David: You should probably be aware that the automatic bullet feature (and the automatic numbering feature) in Microsoft Word does not place the appropriate characters within the text, as it seems to do, but simulates them by means of templates that are stored in another part of the file (if I understand correctly). When a text containing bullets added by this feature is opened in a different application the bullets may change to different characters, or to numbers, or may be lost completely. I presume something similar happens when the process is reversed. I would strongly advocate not using this feature at all but, if you want bullets, to add them explicitly as characters. For outline numbering or dynamic numbering generally I don’t think there is any solution other than substituting the actual numbers as plain text before converting a document. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The hyphen, en rule and em rule (dash) are distinct characters with distinct uses in conventional typography and typesetting. Their correct use cannot be predicted by context, nor are they interchangeable. You need to find out where these characters are in the character set you are using. This depends on your operating system, your language, and your keyboard layout. As Johnny pointed out, they can be entered with the compose key. If you use them so often that even this is too cumbersome you can customise your keyboard layout, so that (for example) compose-hyphen gets you the en rule and shift-compose-hyphen gets you the dash (em rule). If you want to do this I will help you (but only if you use GNU/Linux!). You could, as Johnny suggests, create your own auto-correct sequences, but personally I would avoid all such contrivances.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I insert a thin space in Libre in Windows?
The U stands for Unicode (the universal character set). The notation U + is a way of making it explicit that the number is a Unicode reference. Unicode 2009 is a thin space, traditionally considered a fifth of the nominal type size in points, defined by Unicode as either or a fifth or a sixth but in any case depending on the size given to this character by the creator of a particular font. There are several ways of entering any character in the Unicode range by its number, though they differ between Linux and Windows. Im afraid I don’t know anything about the latter. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Can I Edit Spell-check Word List
It’s not too difficult. The dictionary used in a spelling check is a plain-text file that you can modify with a text editor, subject to a few conditions.

[libreoffice-users] Accents in spelling check
I was dismayed to discover recently (and surprised that I never noticed before) that Libre Office disregards the difference between, say, á and a in spelling checks, and in find and replace. (Dismayed also to imagine that someone thinks this is a good idea.) I wonder if anyone knows how (or whether) I could fix this. Or perhaps it’s not in Libre Office at all but in Hunspell, or otherwise deep down in the system. I’ve done some searching but can’t find any relevant information. In case it matters, I’m using Libre Office 6.0.5.2 on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Accents in spelling check
Thank you, all. The .aff file is somewhat outside my comfort zone, but I’ll certainly experiment with it. I may have caused some confusion with my use of the word “accents,” which I used (for simplicity’s sake) instead of “diacritical marks.” I’m concerned with words in which the acute accent is not a temporary mark to show accent or stress but in which áéíóú are distinct letters, not interchangeable with aeiou. Exchanging one for the other in such a word is therefore a spelling error. But I think Kruno has put me on the right track, and that the ICONV feature in the .aff file is the place to start.

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on where Libre Office hides its settings for the formatting of comments.

[libreoffice-users] Find all within brackets
Some time ago Brian Barker provided a brilliant formula for finding all text between less-than and greater-than signs, namely <[^>]*> I’ve been trying to adapt it to finding text within brackets [thus], but without success. I know that brackets as such, as distinct from regular expressions, are identified as \[ and \]; so the formula I’ve come up with is \[[^>]*\] Unfortunately there are two things wrong with this: (1) it finds all text until a later closing bracket (seemingly the last one in the same paragraph) but not necessarily the immediately following one, and (2) the selection includes the brackets themselves, whereas I only want the text that they enclose.

[libreoffice-users] Kerning
Can anyone explain the purpose of the setting “Pair kerning” under “Format > Character > Position”?

[libreoffice-users] Marginal comments
In marginal comments, the identification line at the bottom displays the user name and the date and time. The program offers no obvious way to format this, but the default (for me) is reasonably acceptable. In working on a document, however, I notice that at some point this line has silently changed to a very large and distracting type. I discovered that I can change this with Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Basic Fonts (Western) > List > [specify]. (Alternatively, there’s the intriguing button “Default,” which selects a typeface that’s installed by default but that I have never used for anything, nor is it the one that pops up uninvited in the comments.) Quitting and restarting the program resets this line to the usual format, but after a few minutes it has changed again to the large and ugly one.

[libreoffice-users] Mysterious line-spacing
I have a long and fairly complex document, with numerous styles. My problem is that a small amount of visual line-spacing is being added between paragraphs, which I do not want. I was defining line-spacing in paragraph styles as a percentage of nominal size, so after investigating everything else I had the brainwave of redefining it as fixed amounts (I’m using millimetres). After a considerable amount of manual work I see, to my dismay, that the unwanted additional spacing is still there. (Strangely, there’s an option within the style definition of “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style.” Why there should be an option of *not* doing something so unorthodox is another mystery; however, it also has no effect.) I had another brainwave and thought that this is perhaps a display issue and that it would be all right when the document was printed. I made a PDF of the document (which is how it will be done eventually) with a view to printing that, but lo! it’s still there. I also printed some sample pages to make sure. Is this a fault in the program, I wonder, or is there something I can do?
