Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How do I go to a specific line number in a document?

The only way I see to get to a line number is to scroll thru the document. Since a gedcom is a straightforward text file, download the fee NoteTab Lite text editor. Once it is installed, open your gedcom, hit ctrl-shift-l, enter 33801 and ENTER. You are trying to drive a tack with a sledgehammer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Opening PDF files in Draw
On 8/14/2011 4:44 PM, R. Derek Pattison wrote: So to clear a couple things up, first I am on a Mac, not Linux. Secondly, there is no particular reason I /have/ to use LibreOffice to edit the PDFs, I could use another PDF editor, but since OpenOffice was a suggestion given in a GoogleSearch, and I already used LibreOffice, I thought I would try it. Also, I was hoping to use something free, since this is not for anything professional, just for personal purposes. I’ve used Preview on my Mac, and it does like 75% of what I want, but the ability to copy pages from one PDF to another and merge them or cut one PDF into multiple ones eludes me, which is why I was trying with LibreOffice. But as I said, it tends to try and read the pictures of words as text, and since the scans aren’t that great, it ends up just being gobbledygook. I tried the plugin suggested in a previous post, but that was already installed in my default install of LibreOffice. I will try GIMP and maybe some other image editors and see if they work for what I need. Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Derek What you need is PDF Split and Merge (http://www.pdfsam.org/). It is FOSS and there is a version for MACs. You can split any pdf into separate files for each page and then recombine any mix you want into a new file. -- Gene Young -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Not sure if other fonts have this problem because I don't use them much. I'm Vietnamese (you can see some Vietnamese letters in the screenshot) but my system locale is en-US. I'm not sure what you mean by LO or Backport ;) Thank you, Hoang I am running Windows, previously XP, now 7. In every iteration of OO I have used I have experienced the same misplacement of letters. Scolling these misplaced characters off screen and back re-paints them correctly. It has never been an issue to worry about but it seems that it has been ported over to LO as well. As I said it is not a big deal but there is some code buried deep in OO, and now LO, that is not well behaved. -- Gene Young -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

For example, I open a writer document, edit it, and then close it and remain in the writer application. Thanks. Roger Stein On the upper right end of the top Menu Bar is an X box, click that and Writer will close and leave you in the Start screen. The Start/Splash is the same screen you get if you start soffice instead of one of the programs. HTH Yes indeed. However, if I understand correctly the question, Roger wants to know if there is a way to keep a standard Write window open, but with a grey work zone, just like what happens with Microsoft Windows. To that, I'll say NO. I would add that most (all?) modules of LibreOffice are more tightly integrated than those of Microsoft Office, so no time or resources are wasted by loading the start screen. But in MS Word, when one closes the last open document, the grey screen is not a new document that you can start typing in - it's just background. You still have to click on File/New or File/Open. Personally I also found the Start screen (where one can choose a type of document or open a template) a bit of a nuisance. Someone reported on a way to skip that screen both at start-up and on closing a document back in the days before LibO, and I implemented it, and carried my profile over to LibO, so it works that way. LibO now starts directly into a Writer doc (NOTE: I do NOT have a script that calls LibO with a parameter). I'm not sure whether it was in the preferences, or somewhere in the menu system that this setting was found, but it was well-hidden. Unfortunately, I have forgotten how it was done, and I haven't yet been able to find the original references to it by searching the archives at OOo. If anyone sees this and remembers, please let me know. It will also help the OP. //James Find the writer executable, create a shortcut to it (place it where you wish it to appear) and that shortcut will open writer direct and when you close writer it is closed completely. -- Gene Young -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
