[libreoffice-users] Writer interface font size
Good morning Just installed LibreOffice 6.0.4 (on the computer where I had problems with copying). Because I am getting older and my vision deteriorates, the fist thing I always do with new/upgraded software is to increase interface font size. I know how to increase the size of the icons in the menu bars, but unfortunately I could not yet figure out how to increase the interface font size. There seems to be no such item under "Options" Could somebody please direct me to the relevant setting (in the hope, there IS such setting).

I think, this problem has not yet appeared on other machines. Problem: Select a text portion in one application -> move to Writer -> Ctrl+V (paste). That's not a "problem" until you say what doesn't happen as you expect! And you shouldn't expect to paste anything in LibreOffice just because you selected it in another application: you need to *copy* it there first. (copy "text only" does NOT help) This has to be in the other, unspecified application, so no-one can say anything about that. Or do you mean pasting unformatted text? However, what shows up is a text portion selected earlier and NOT the one selected just now. Applying Occam's razor, the simplest interpretation is merely that the copy process did not operate correctly. Since you will normally get no visual or audible feedback of the success of a copy operation, it is very easy to think you have completed one when it hasn't happened properly. Without the copy happening properly, what will be on the clipboard is what was previously there, of course: hence your observed problem. Many are the times when I have selected required material and pasted something else, having forgotten to copy the selection or perhaps fumbled doing so. Another easy trick is to copy material and then perform minor changes involving copying in the target document before pasting it, forgetting that this will overwrite the clipboard contents. Are you performing the copy (if you are doing it at all!) using Ctrl+C or using a menu item or toolbar button in the other application? The first thing to suspect would be a hardware problem making that process flaky. Is your Ctrl key reliable? Does the other Ctrl key work better or suffer from the same problem? Is the C key problematic? Do you need to empty your keyboard of crumbs? Does it need new batteries? Is your left mouse click sometimes unreliable? What happens if you try an alternative mouse? When I do the Ctrl+V (paste) trick in a text editor, the text portion in question shows up just fine. That cannot be explained by the above - except that any such intermittent fault will show up confusing results such as this. But remember that the clipboard is a facility of the operating system or other application, not either of the applications between which you are attempting to transfer material. So you shouldn't immediately suspect LibreOffice. This happens SOMETIMES but not always. (it is nevertheless very annoying). So it is indeed an intermittent problem, either with the hardware or the user. Currently I have to close Writer and reopen it to "solve" this problem. I'd strongly suggest that this is a red herring, and merely another symptom of intermittent behaviour. Is there something a little smarter that can be done? Get someone to watch you work and see exactly what is happening. Can you reproduce the problem under such conditions? I trust this helps.

So, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Thanks. The goal is to merge the work of different presentators at a conference somehow, so that people can then read the whole thing on the web 1) in one go (with some kind of bookmarks or separators between each presentation) and 2) as HTML+JPG so they don't have to bother with PDFs. I assume LO supports templates: Maybe I could build one, and ask all presentators to use that template and LO so that we end up with a common, homogenous material that I can merge and turn into HTML+JPG. -- Sent from: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I'm no Impress expert, but after reading your email, I took an Impress presentation and exported it to HTML from within LO itself. I selected "File", "Export..." I then selected "HTML" from the format drop-down box. I gave it a file name ending in .html, and hit "Save." The program then took me through a series of HTML design dialog boxes. I didn't understand more than half of what I was reading, so for most of the dialog boxes, .I selected the default settings. When I finished, I had a very nice HTML that closely mimicked my original Impress file. Each slide and image was saved as a separate file, so the resulting HTML presentation consist of many different files; it is probably best to save them in their own folder. I also tried exporting it to an "XHTML" format, but at least for me, I lost the slide presentation functionality. It just became one single HTML page that one would scroll down. While I did this on a Linux Mint machine, I have no reason to believe that LO would work any differently in Windows. > 2.

When I save an Impress file as a PDF, it automatically saves it as a single file. So, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Either way, LO can export directly to either PDF or HTML.

[libreoffice-users] Best practices when working with LibreOffice Impress?
Hello, I have zero knowledge of PDF, and need to make a list of recommendations to users working with LibreOffice Impress so that their presentations will use the same parameters (size, fonts, etc.) and be rendered into nice HTML. I have a couple of newbie questions: 1. Wouldn't it be easier/better to merge and convert LibreOffice files directly into HTML instead of going through PDF? If that's the case, what tool would you recommend (Windows or Linux)? 2. If going through PDF doesn't matter, what tool + settings do you recommend to a) convert the files into PDF (if LO isn't good enough) and merge them all into a single PDF? So far, I've used LibreOffice to export files as PDF, and PDFSam to merge PDF files into one. I've never used GhostView (gv) to convert to PDF.
