Bingo! I owe you a beer!

o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | View | Display.
o Tick "Graphics and objects".

As you say, this problem affects only the display in the editing 
screen, not the result, whether printed or exported as PDF, or indeed 
Page Preview. It is sometimes useful to suppress the display of 
images, as re-rendering them as the display changes can slow down the 
operation of the program, for example in scrolling.


I trust this helps.

well the attachments didn't come through but what happens is that
instead of getting an image I get an outline rectangle labeled Image 5

[libreoffice-users] doing something idiotic but what?

2018-01-30 Thread Dave Stevens 
This started a couple weeks when I undoubtedly changed a setting.

If I paste an image into a LO 5.3.1.2 document I see it as in the first
screenshot attached, but if I print preview or export as pdf I get the
image properly. Does anyone recognize this particular mess-up?

[libreoffice-users] Re: macro to only change month

2018-01-30 Thread bjlockie 
gnucash is too complex to set up.
I got some of the accounts made but then I gave up.
I'm not sure it can show me a month on a page like my spreadsheet can.
I only briefly looked at the reporting and even if it does what I want, it
isn't intuitive to me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Calc-keep cell from imitating prior cell

Eric Beversluis wrote:

Calc tends to copy what it thinks is the same entry from a prior cell in a 
column. My problem is how to keep it from doing that.

Somewhere in a column I have ‘crème’. Now LO won’t let me enter ‘creme’ without 
the accent grave. How do I tell Calc to ignore the earlier value? I’ve tried a 
couple of times to delete the è, but each time it reappears.


If you just want to do this as a one-off, without changing AutoCorrect 
settings:

1. Type 'creme', but DO NOT leave the cell yet
2. Select all text in the cell (e.g. Ctrl+A, Edit Select All, click and 
drag, etc.)

3. Now leave the cell (e.g. Enter, Tab, click on another cell, etc.)

I'm not really sure whether this behaviour is accidental or an 
intentional feature, but it's handy when you occasionally want to avoid 
AutoCorrect making a change but don't want to completely disable it.
