Re: [libreoffice-users] Exporting Text File to PDF (One Page At A time)
I believe you can print your ODT files to PDF either as one single file or as a collection of one-per-page files. jdh On 02/23/2013 09:16 AM, Hal Vaughan wrote: On Dec 28, 2012, at 5:01 AM, lordmax tdf lordmax-...@email.it wrote: Hi to all Il 28/12/2012 02:02, Girvin R.

This doesn't seem to be happening in libreoffice, as the cursor is always at the top of the document, meaning one has to remember some other way where I was up to. I can't find any option to turn this invaluable feature back on. Is this a design decision, an oversight, or am I missing an option somewhere? Cheers, Ron In all the years I've been using OO and LO (omg, am I getting old...) I never once had the good fortune of re-opening a document and automatically having the cursor (or pointer, however you prefer to call it) fall onto the location where I had left it before closing the doc. Before I close a document, I mark the spot where the cursor is located by inserting a bookmark (Alt - Insert - Bookmark and enter a name of your choice for the bookmark in the dialog box ). Then, to go back to that spot, after I reopen the document I right-click in the lower left corner, where the page count is shown, and the bookmark name pops up: a click on the name itself brings me to the bookmarked position in the text.

[libreoffice-users] LOo 3.5.1.2 upgrade in Ubuntu Natty does not 'see' old templates
My new LOo 3.5.1.2 (Build ID: 350m1(Build:102) auto-upgraded under Ubuntu Natty (via Update Manager) from the earlier 3.4.5 version. The suite works well overall, but I do miss my old (custom) templates which the new version's template manager does not see. (I also miss the Recent Documents list, but that's another story). In the old version the templates were (and still appear to be) stored in ~/.libreoffice/3/user/template, whereas in the new version I see them in ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template. Tools/Options/Paths shows TWO Template paths: one is /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../share/template/common (which I cannot find on my machine and have therefore hidden), whereas the other is ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template. If I want to work on templates via File/Templates/Edit, LOo offers to Open from the selection of templates I have in the new ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template path. But if I want to Organize, all I get is a message box titled LibreOffice 3.5 stating 'templates already exists'. When I close that, I see the Template Management dialog with the currently open docs in the Document pane but an empty Templates pane. This does not feel OK. Any advice on how I might set things straight?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer - Strange behavior of paragraph styles
Thank you, Miroslaw, for your explanation. I had not encountered the cascade behavior in this fashion in OOo; there, I had always used Default as the primary style; based on that I had then configured all other styles without any quirks at all. It is only after I started working with LO Writer that I met up with the 'strange' response of paragraphs to the Default style. Your explanation cleared things up and now, with Text Body as the basic style, the problems have seemingly disappeared. At this point, my only question is: what caused the designers of the Writer code to change the modus operandi? Thanks again for your clarification. john __ On 02/02/2012 at 05:23, John D.

[libreoffice-users] LO Writer - Strange behavior of paragraph styles
Hi, everyone. Running LO 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) on Ubuntu 11.04 (Linux 2.6.38-generic-pae) w/ Gnome 2.32.1. Find myself having to cope with some very strange behavior of paragraph styles, not previously encountered in any version of OOo. I defined my 'Default' style as follows: font Ubuntu 12 regular, no indents, single spacing, 0.00 before and after, justified. As I begin a new document and type a one-line paragraph, then press Return to start a new paragraph, all is OK. If I press Return once more (adding an empty line), the previous paragraph gets indented without any prompting! When I go back to the previous paragraph with ArrowUp, the style changes - without any prompting! - to Text Body... If I go back to the beginning of any Default or Text Body paragraph and press Return twice, the paragraph is transformed into text that is both bold and increased in size... All of this, though, merely scratches the surface of my paragraph-style misadventures in LO. It's enough to drive me insane, to the point where I'm seriously considering returning to one of the recent versions of OpenOffice. FWIW i DID carefully read the manual on styles and templates. Like I said: no problems in OOo, a disaster in LO. As an aside: can anyone tell me what difference there is between 'Default' and 'Text body'? Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to correct / troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance. john -- 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
