Re: [libreoffice-users] captions and headings
Thanks for your reply, Karl, it was useful. I'd already managed to get the figure part; your post gave me some clues about where to look for the rest. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find what I want. It now breaks down into 2 parts: Q1) Is it possible to have two-tier numbers on the same line, as I am needing (e.g. 00-01, where the first part represents the chapter number and the second part the section within the chapter?A) I believe it is, by using a combination of variable and cross reference in the heading line; though I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not absolutely certain Q2) Is it possible to specify a number format for each tier (chapter and section) so that I can have each represented as a two-digit number in the document? So far, I have not found a way to do this. There seems to be no way to specify that leading zeroes should be included when using a number range variable. Perhaps there is; I just don't know where to look to find out.

At first you should create the related variable, e.g. Figure, from the menu Insert-Field-Other. In the Dialog choose type Number range and enter Figure as name and Figure+1 as value. Select format Arabic and level 1. For all the following figures you just choose Figure under Selection.

A major difficulty is that the caption category doesn't appear to accept spaces or punctuation. Is there a way around this to achieve what i'd like, or am i perhaps asking a bit too much here?

[libreoffice-users] Time-lag response in v. 4.4.0.1 Writer
Hi list I recently installed LibO v. 4.4.0.1 and have noticed that when using Writer, there is a response delay. For example, when typing, there is a periodic (perhaps every few minutes) when the text doesn't appear on the screen, the cursor stops blinking and remains fixed in place. This then clears and all is good again. This happens when highlighting or deleting, etc., so it is more than just typing. I timed one of these lags, and counted up to 8 seconds before Writer responded. Having used LibO for many years now, I cannot recall having such an issue before, and I haven't changed my OS or desktop settings (Linux Mint 17, Mate desktop environment) since using the previous Fresh 4.3 updates or even previous releases. If necessary, I will uninstall this version and go back to the 4.3, but that seems to be using a hammer to crack a nut. Any advice on this please as it is quite disruptive given I'm trying to do my thesis on it! Thanks for any help.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Time-lag response in v. 4.4.0.1 Writer - Update
Update: Changed the auto-save setting, and that hasn't helped. Closed out all other open documents. No change. I wonder if it is an interaction problem with the LibreOffice Mendeley Plug-In? Does anyone else use Mendeley Desktop reference management software v. 1.12.4 with LibO 4.4.0.1? If so - can this lag be replicated? Not sure if this is a LibO or a Mendeley issue at this point. Thanks for any ideas. Sun On 08/01/15 17:43, Sun Shine wrote: Thanks all - I've changed the auto-save time and will see if that has any effect.

[libreoffice-users] Security check and 2 questions
Hello. I’m just checking that this is the official website for downloading libreoffice. How can I know. One more important thing. This is a new, clean computer. Please, oh please may I not get malware. I downloaded openoffice from openoffice.org last night and got each next tab during installation took me to a new ap or extension which I didnt’ want. I noticed after loading a few of them. I thought they were part of the program until I saw an ap for storm warnings to be sent to my computer? Huh? I stopped the installation there and spent the rest of the night researching how to remove vosotron and file opener from my computer. I even removed Silverlight because I was scared of everything then. So, as you can tell, I want to be so careful At the same time, I’m grateful to you guys and to OO for dedication to democratic accessibility. Yay you. Truly. Just please reassure me I will get ample warnings and explanations of any extras. I am a writer and need a good word processing program and need to open old files created in last years osx and in word.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Security check and 2 questions
Hi, The official website for downloading libreoffice is http://www.libreoffice.org/ Follow the links and download accordingly. I can't categorically advise about malware although I have never encountered this problem over several LO installs. And I have never heard of any malware issues. Have fun and feel free to ask questions. Cheers On 09/01/15 04:01, ginger lines wrote: Hello. I’m just checking that this is the official website for downloading libreoffice. How can I know.
