I recommend that you re-install LibreOffice from the source 
 rather than the Ubuntu repositories. In 
earlier days, when I thought Ubuntu was a good idea for me, I had 
similar problems with printing from their variant of LibreOffice. They 
all went away after installing the original product.

That worked. Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with Libreoffice

[John Kaufmann]

Hi larrie,

/Anything/? To troubleshoot unexpected behavior, it helps to narrow the range of inputs that 
produce such behavior. Are you saying that, if you start a new spreadsheet, then type the letter 
"A" (or even the word "Anything") in a cell, there is immediately a red box 
around that cell?



It also makes me delete complete columns or rows instead of select cells that i 
would like to remove.


What do you mean by "remove" a cell? Do you mean to delete its content, or its 
content and formatting, or ...?


Finally [actually, this should be first], to help orient assistance:
1) Please specify the version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
2) Do you have any prior spreadsheet experience? If so, which one? (That may 
help provide a reference for any needed explanations.)

Kind regards,
John

To expand on Tom's point, in Linux CUPS handles the printing, not the
individual programs, that would make the question one for Ubuntu.

That said you described the printers as "installed," meaning they are
visible/listed in whatever printer settings are available in Ubuntu or
directly via CUPS in your browser (usually https://localhost:631, user
"root" and root password to access).

If you see them in CUPS/Ubuntu settings, try restarting in test mode
(don't recall the English at the moment, but available from the Help
menu), and/or shutting down LO and renaming your profile directory
"~/.config/libreoffice" (e.g., add ".bad" or ".old" or whatever you
like). When you restart, LO will create a new directory. If LO then
sees the printers, it means that your old profile was corrupted for
some reason. (It happens from time to time.)

If the profile is the problem, you will need to go through all your
settings again. You may be able to copy some elements (e.g., templates)
from the old directory to the new to save a little work.

If the profile is not the problem, you can erase the new directory and
change the old directory name back to "libreoffice."

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer form design grid

Hi Mike,


Snap-to-grid doesn't seem to do a lot - but as the grid size isn't 
changeable, it would not be a whole lot of help.


I'm creating very much forms for databases (also for other people). I'm 
using grid only. Helps me very much. Points of the grid are small - 
right. But grid size could be changed to every distance I need.


Thanks for the reply.

I've had another look at this. The grid spacing options are in the main 
'Options' menu, although the forms stuff has a local facility to turn 
off grid.


I still find the grid unusably faint though, even with a colour change. 
It must be an optical illusion, but the grid seems fainter the more I 
expand the screen image to get better accuracy. It seems quite dark with 
small scales, all but invisible at expanded scales.


The other issue is that, yes, it does snap horizontally to the grid. 
Vertically however it seems to snap to positions between the grid 
points, taking two unequal steps to move between snap locations. Most odd.

[libreoffice-users] long text with bullets not aligned

[Shoval Dayani]

How can I fix this problem? I tried every possible way I could think of.
Thank you!
Note that the problem happens only when I write in Hebrew. In English it's
ok.
