However, there is no mention of how to use the same footnote/endnote number in more than 1 location in the text to refer to a single footnote. I've had to restore to changing the colour of the consecutive numbers. i.e. 2 different locations/footnote numbers that both refer to Leviticus III, 16. Regardless, thanks very, very much for pointing me to the documentation WEB site, I had not even thought of it before. I've now added it to my bookmarks. Thanks again. You need to use 'Section' to restart numbering for footnote/endnote. Insert - Section... - Footnotes/Endnotes Put each chapters into separate section. 1. Insert - Section... and optionally change settings for Footnotes/Endnotes 2. A section inserted above your cursor. 3. You need move cursor one line up in order to move in newly created section. 4. Enter your contents. 5. For next chapter/section, make sure move out of your section 6. Repeat from step 1 How do you know which section you are in? Make sure 'Status Bar' is visible. (View - Status Bar) You will see current name of section in the status bar. If you already have all contents, 1. Selection/highlight target chapter/texts 2. Insert - Section... - Footnotes/Endnotes 3. Selected chapter/texts will be separated into different section 4. Default section name is section 1, section 2, etc. Diligently rename them according to your context. This will easy navigating different parts of your document If you need to modify existing section, 1. Goto Format - 'Sections...' 2. Select problematic section (if you renamed them, choosing target section is easy) 3. Click 'Options...' to edit settings Section can be nested meaning a section can contain other sections.

So, you can have one or more paragraphs in Spanish and some other paragraphs in English. By creating a paragraph style for English and another for Spanish and assigning them their respective paragraph styles, you can correctly spell check the entire document. If you want to mix words from different languages in a single paragraph, create the appropriate character styles for the desired language (done the same way as when creating paragraph styles for languages). By doing this, I can correctly spell check the following paragraph for three languages at once: No hablo Español. Aber Ich kann Deutch. Neat little trick, isn't it? Comment: I applied the Spanish character style to the first sentence and German to the second sentence. Since my chosen language is English (USA), the spell checker automatically checked spelling in English for anything that did not have a language character style applied to it. --Dan That's right.

If you change it, the change will apply to all pages. Perhaps all your pages have the Default (portrait) page style. There is a built-in Landscape page style which has the other orientation and may suit your purpose. o Put the cursor at the end of the last portrait page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Landscape from the drop-down list. o Now put the cursor at the end of the single landscape page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Default from the drop-down list. Each page break is associated with a change in page style: from Default to Landscape and back again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Bug report - pasting from Notepad to Calc
On 01/24/2012 05:22 PM, L S wrote: Hi, I'm not interesting in joining the mailing list or another membership, got plenty already! So I'm just sending you the details and someone else can post it. You can contact me if you want any more details. Operating System: Windows XP SP3 (up to date) Libre version: LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402) Notepad: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.111025-1629 : Service Pack 3) Notepad was set to word wrap and not full screen. This meant some lines were wrapping. Actions: Highlight entire contents of Notepad using Ctrl+A. Copy using Ctrl+C. Select top left cell on a Calc worksheet, previously used and all previous contents deleted. Paste, using Ctrl+V and accepting defaults on dialog box that comes up. My data was strangely laid out. Investigation showed that the data had been pasted as though each wrapped line was a new line of data. (Most lines were not wrapped, mainly some around the middle of the file.) Tabs in Notepad had correctly separated data into new columns but wrapped lines had been treated as a new line of data and started in column 1 on the following row to that which they belonged to. I tested again and got the same result. I then turned off word wrap and the data pasted correctly. I may have tried pasting again into the old sheet at this point - if so, results not recalled. I tried pasting to a new, unused worksheet (two or three times) with wrap turned on and each line of data pasted as it should, without wrapping forcing a new line. I tried again to paste into the previously used sheet while wrap was on and the data pasted as it should, instead of wrapped forcing a new line.(!) I have since been unable to replicate the bug. If I come up with any further useful information, I'll send it and reference this email's date and time. Please don't forward anything I send you unless you are SURE that everyone you're forwarding it to, already has my email address. Use copy and paste instead (Ctrl + C and Ctrl + v). THANKS!! I also experienced similar behavior long time ago between Notepad and Eclipse IDE and/or some other IDE. I don't think it's LibreOffice's fault.

As Degustation table only has a single DeguID per WineID I got what I needed, but in the MarketPrice table I am cheating with the avg(), would really like to get latest/highest based on MarketPrices.PurchaseDate.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.
Do not use left or right page style. They are only good when you print double side. They are used to differentiate odd/even pages. And if you use only 'right page' style, LO will insert a blank page after every left/right pages. And you don't want that. For single side printing, use 'default' page style with 'First Page' style as optional. cK On 01/17/2012 05:55 PM, Sylvia Schmidt wrote: Hey, I'm trying to create a layout for my thesis in Writer. I know how to work (reasonably well) with page/paragraph styles. My problem is this: I have to hand in my thesis with only one side of the page printed, the back has to be blank.

It is true that I actually have more pages than the written ones but it shouldn't show in my page number. I tried correcting the page number - but I can't figure out how.
