For a start, there are XML errors in your document: Line 122: style:contextual-spacing is not an allowed attribute. Line 133: style:family="4.1354inn" is wrong. It seems the style:family is mixed up with some measurement. Line 153: There is a secondelement. There should be only one of these. Line 162: The element must not be empty.

I looked inside your document, and it appears that the first paragraph is inside a list, with the paragraph as its only list item. And it is a list with no bullet and no number. I have no idea how you got this. But that's why it behaves differently. So I clicked in that paragraph, and then clicked on the "Toggle Bulleted List" Icon. Then a bullet appears, which you obviously don't want. So click on this icon again to remove the bullet. After this the paragraph behaves normally.

Actually, thinking about it: THIS IS DEAD WRONG! Insert a horizontal line should definitely NOT mean: change the whole paragraph layout, including fonts, line spacing, indentation, font color, background color, etc. Suppose you have your carefully defined paragraph style, now you want to insert a horizontal line below the text, not as part of the text. Now the whole paragraph style changes to the predefined Horizontal Line style. That's not what I mean with Insert horizontal line. So it should either insert a new paragraph with only a horizontal line, or it should add a horizontal line to the current paragraph by changing its bottom border attribute only. The latter option robs you of the possibility of styling the line in advance. Of course you can just hit RETURN first, and that's what I do when I insert a horizontal line. I must admit that I almost never insert horizontal lines, except in tables. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Yes, select the line, and then Format > Line. There is also a Line Width field in the Toolbar on to where you can change the line width. For me it is on the righthand side. If it is not there, you can get it with View > Toolbars > Line and Filling. You can also set the line width there before you draw the line. That is easier if you want to draw several lines with the same thickness.

That is the other way to insert a line, but after that selection you have to draw the line with your mouse: click where you want the line to start and then drag to its endpoint. To keep it precisely horizontal, press SHIFT while dragging. The you can select the line and change the thickness with Format > Text box and Shape > Line Instead of Insert > Shape etc. you can also make the drawing toolbar visible with View > Toolbars > Drawing.

Here is a recipe that could help you, but it requires the Alternative Searching
extension (aka Alternative Find & Replace)
1. Choose two characters that do not appear in your text. I chose # an §.
2. Mark every song title, except the first one, with # at the beginning of the
line.
3. With Alt. Find & replace:
Search For: \p
Replace: §
Check "regular expressions" box
Replace all
4. With Alt. Find & Replace:
Search for: §#
Replace \p
("regular expressions" box still checked)
5. Select all text and then Tools > Sort.
6. With Alt. Find & Replace:
Search for: §
Replace \p
("regular expressions" box still checked)
As far as I know, steps 4 and 6 cannot be done with the regular find and
replace as you can't specify a paragraph mark in the replace. At least i don't
know how to.

When you have the status bar enabled, there is an indicator there whether the document has been modified. It is a small rectangle with a check mark if the document is not modified and a red star if it is modified (this may depend on your theme).

One way you can get numbers as text is when you import a CSV file, and forget to merk the column as numbers. Or when you paste from plain text and forget the same. One way to get them as numbers is to add a function in another column, containing =NUMBERVALUE(B2) if the first number is in cell B2. Then copy this down for all numbers in the original column.

Even simpler:
Here is a Basic macro that just walks through the document, and deletes all
hidden text. No unzipping, editing, etc. It just works inside the ODT document
in LO.
It only considers normal plain text, i.e. not inside tables, sections, frames,
footnotes, etc.
If you want that, these have to be specially coded.

I saw some discussion (or maybe just one message) on the developer's list about implementing the TeX line breaking algorithm, which does that. So it might be useful to check if such a request has already been issued. Another thing that might help, to avoid the letterspacing, is to disable Tools > Options (LibreOffice > Preferences on Mac) > LibreOffice Writer > Compatibility > Expand word space on lines with manual line breaks in justified paragraphs. Then a manual newline at the end of such an ugly line does not justify the line. But the best thing in my opinion (besides the TeX algorithm) would be if you could just switch off letter spacing completely. I hate it and I haven't found an option to disable it. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

This definitely looks like LO doesn't know the OpenSymbol font or forgot how to use it. Can you try the following? In a Writer document, choose OpenSymbol as font, and then Insert > Special Character You will get a table of characters. About halfway the table, just above a sequence of Greek characters (the second set of Greek characters) ΓΔΘΛΞΠΣ, there is a vector symbol. Can you insert that?

As you mention in your last paragraph, it is about blank paragraphs. It is not blank lines between paragraphs. These come from the bad practice to insert so called "blank lines" as paragraph separators, but as you correctly observe, they are additional blank paragraphs. The proper way to get spacing between paragraphs is to set additional space after the paragraph with Format > Paragraph. To get rid of the blank paragraph, use Edit > Find and Replace, Click Other options, and check Regular expressions. In the search field enter ^$ Now you can find/replace the empty paragraphs. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Apparently when you load a .fods file, LibreOffice will invent some style names, which might be different from the style names in the file (if any) that was saved from the .xlsx. Here are some suggestions that might help (but no guarantee): (1) Load the .fods and save it again before putting it in the version control system. I.e. start from the .fods file and not from the .xlsx file. (2) Give your columns (and cells) named custom styles. I.e. define your own cell styles and apply them to your spreadsheet. In this way LO may avoid inventing its own style names.

[libreoffice-users] Verifying LO 5.1 on Mac OS X takes a long time
I have a strange problem with the new LO 5.1 on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.5). I installed it and started it up for the first time. Naturally the first time the app gets verified. However the verification took a long time and my computer got almost completely unresponsive. Activity Monitor indicated that kernel_task had growm to more than 6.3GB (real memory). My machine has 8GM memory. It did not take very much CPU time, but everything came virtually to a halt. Even the clock sometimes lagged minutes behind. The verification process took more than 2 hours and 15 minutes, after which I had to leave. When I returned it had finished, so I know it took less than 5 hours. Ater confirming that I wanted to run the application downloaded from the internet, LO continued, but it took at least 10 minutes before it appeared. In the meantime the kernel_task memory footprint still was high, but later it dropped back to more reasonable values. I did this twice, with a reboot in between. The reboot didn't solve the problem. The problem has also been reported on https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/64253/libreoffice-513-stuck-on-verifying-mac-os-x-yosemite-10105/ Maybe it warrants a bug report if more people experience this. I also tried LO 5.0.5, and its verification took about 5 minutes (still quite long I think), with kernel_task going up to about 4GB. But at least the system continued to work normally. So what can be the problem with LO 5.1? -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

It appears that the Scrivener 2.7 situation is different than I thought. I tested it on a Scrivener doc with the test page imported from the .doc file (and also by copy/pasting that text). It appears that Scrivener imports the list in a strange way: it makes a list with no bullets as a list attribute, but with the bullets prepended to each list element. So when exporting it to ODT, the list elements get two bullets: one from being a list element, the other in the text. By correcting the list after importing it will be exported correctly.

I don't know why. I would think that specifying both the Date acceptance pattern and the Format Cells should solve the problem, but apparently the locale setting has preference over the Date acceptance pattern for input.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Verification problem with OSX and GB language pack
Roger Hayter wrote: If I install Libreoffice 5.0 on a MAC using Mountain Lion, OSX 10.8.5, and then install the English (GB) language pack, the first time I open LO it fails verification and tells me I should delete LO (and presumably re-download the 'damaged' file). However, if I install from the main, US locale, installer and open the program after installation and before adding the language pack, it verifies itself and opens. I can then close it and install the language pack with no further problem. I don't know how specific to my setup this problem is, and whether it is worth reporting as a bug. Has anyone else observed this? This is an artefact of the interaction of the way OS X does the verification, and the way language packas are installed. Installation of the language pack changes the application, thereby making it invalid. After verification, OS X doesn't care anymore whether you change the application (but this may change in future OS versions). The proper way to install is (as you described above in your second attempt): 1. Install the base version of LO. 2. Open LO so that OS X will very it. 3. Close LO 4. Install the language pack. This also applies to other LO versions and later versions of OS X. The proper way for LO to solve this (IMHO) would be to put the language packs outside the application. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Hi.
I am not sure this is what I was after.
If I create a list, initially everything is on level one.
I would like it so that if I demote an item to level 2 the style is
automatically changed to the style defined for level 2. When I tried your
suggestion I had to manually apply the List 2 style to the paragraph.
Steve
I'm coming late into this discussion, but if I understand what you want to
do,
you need to create a List style with two or more levels.
Press F11 to open the Styles and Formatting window in the sidebar, then
select
the List Styles button and create or modify a list style with several
levels
using the Options tab. For each level, you will want a different numbering
system.
When you go to apply the style, press the Tab key to use the level below
your
present one at the cursor position, or Shift+Tab to use the level above
your
current one.
Hi. Partly correct. I want to create lists with more than one level (2-3
generally) and have the paragraph style of the text change to a
predefined style as I demote or promote the level of a paragraph. I.e. a
different paragraph style is associated with each level.

Hi Steve,
Did you read my answer to your question? I think that solves it.

You would then use the paragraph styles List 1, List 2, etc. or Numbering 1, Numbering 2 etc. for numbered lists. You can adapt these or make your own similar paragraph styles.

[...] I've tried importing a selected row of cells from calc into draw to do this, in theory I think this ought to work well, but the problem I'm experiencing there is that cell size and formatting don't seem to be preserved when pasting the row. I have tried that and it worked. What I did: Select a large numer of columns in Calc, and set the columns to the required width. You can then merge pairs of cells. Actually you don't have to do all of them. If you have 4 or 5 merged cells, just copy these a number of times to the other columns. And then you copy this to another row starting at the second cell, so that it gets indented. Now if you copy/paste these to Writer they seem to keep their widths. But you have to use Edit Paste Special Formatted Text. For me the column widths are preserved. O, yes, if you do something with the column widths in Writer, with Table Properties Columns, select 'Adapt table width'.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Open LO files via IE Explorer
Thomas Blasejewicz wrote: I have another question. I noticed, since I am using Windows 8.1 (2-3 months ago), currently LO Version: 4.4.3.2, that attempts at opening files from the IE Explorer (this thing seems to have another name, but can't remember it) file view VERY OFTEN (almost always) fail. With fail I mean: I have for example one Writer and one Calc file open. No errors at all, just ordinary work. Then I click on a WRITER/CALC file somewhere on my disks. - Nothing happens. No matter what I try. - I close the Writer/Calc files one by one. Still nothing happens. - I close LibreOffice - immediately a file recovery screen opens and tells me, it is recovering the files I was working on. - Once that is done, the file I clicked in the Explorer view ALSO opens. This did NOT happen with my old Windows XP machines, not on 3 different Linux machines and as far as I remember not with earlier versions of LibreOffice. Does anybody know anything about this? What I think is happening is this (it happened to me on Mac OS X also): The previous time you had LO open it crashed. Now you double-click a file and LO opens. Because of the crash it opens the recovery dialog, but then it immediately opens the file that you double-clicked, and that window obscures the recovery dialog. However, LO wants you to finish the recovery dialog first, so it refuses to do anything else. So what you can do is switch windows until the recovery dialog gets focus and finish it. Then the opened file can be worked on. I think LO should always give focus to the recovery dialog, even if there is a file opened. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Alignment in heading-styled numbered-paragraphs text
Xiha wrote: Hello, I am trying to make use of heading-like paragraph styles in order to make a document of numbered paragraphs with nested levels. Something like (view this in monospaced font if it does not show like that; however in my document I do not particularly want to use a monosopaced font): 1. Here is some first text and note how the text is aligned vertically in a straight line on the left. 1.1 Here is a subitem of that first item and again the text is aligned in a straight line. 1.1.1 And one more level down. You get the idea. 1.1.2 Et cetera et cetera et cetera. The reason I want to use paragraph styles rather than a numbered list is that I want the structure to show up in the Navigator, which is very handy to get an overview with its collapsible levels, and also for a TOC. You can still use numbered paragraphs, for example the paragraph styles Numbering1, Numbering2, etc or a copy of them. In the paragraph style choose the Outline and Numbering tab. For Outline level, choose Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 etc. This causes the paragraphs to appear like headings in the Navigator. For Numbering style choose Numbering 1 (for all levels), and you will apply the different indents in the Numbering 1 list style. After much wrangling with style definitions (Indents Spacing) and Outline Numbering, I can't quite get it the way shown above. Somehow I'm not getting the straight left alignment emphasized above. Also, ideally, I don't want to use fixed tab positions and the like: I want the first 1 of 1.1 to align (automatically?) with the left border of the text at 1., and so on. You do this by specifying the proper offsets in the Numbering 1 list style. Here is an example: In tab Options you specify the number of sublevels. For Level n, you have Show sublevels = n, so you get the numbering 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. In tab Position: All of them Numbering alignment: Left, Followed by Tab stop Level 1: Aligned at 0cm, Tab stop at 0.5cm, Indent at 0.5cm Level 2: Aligned at 0.5cm, Tab stop at 1.2cm, Indent at 1.2cm Level 3: Aligned at 1.2cm, Tab stop at 2.3cm, Indent at 2.3cm Each level is aligned at the Tab stop of the previous level. Tab stop = Indent, and the difference between 'Tab stop' and 'Aligned at' should be big enough to accomodate the numbering. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying text from one document to another with different formatting
H wrote: I am using LibreOffice 4.0.2 and have a need to copy a text selection (recipient address) from one document to another, to a label template for a continuous label printer. The text selection resides in a table and I'd like to /not/ copy any of the formatting to the label template where a different formatting needs to be applied. Currently, I copy the text selection which automatically includes the table cell formatting, paste it into the second document, remove the extra space above and below the table cells, select only the table cells, convert them into text and finally apply the desired formatting style. As i am sure everyone understands, this gets old really fast and surely there must be a faster way? Suggestions appreciated! Have you tried Edit Paste Special Unformatted text?

I think it is invaluable. But if you want to do serious programming you also need the developer's guide (https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/images/d/d9/DevelopersGuide_OOo3.1.0.pdf) It is huge but you can find valuable information there about all the internals.
