| This does not affect just adjectives, but some nouns -- and evolves
| over time, such that the phrasal verb "follow up" is hyphenated as
| adjective ("follow-up report"), but appears either hyphenated or as one
| word (followup) when used as a noun. The trend in the latter case,
| AFAIK, is to make the noun a single word -- or maybe it is just my
| personal taste.
|
| Even the LanguageTool plugin provides only limited help. Testing with:
|
| "I would like you to followup on this issue. The follow-up should be
| complete and presented in the form of a follow up report."
|
| LanguageTool highlighted the hyphenated form and reported: "When
| ‘follow-up’ is used as a noun or modifier, it needs to be hyphenated."
| It also reported the instance without a hyphen noting: "‘follow up’
| seems to be a compound adjective before a noun. Use a hyphen: «follow-
| up»." However, it did not flag the single-word form used as a verb.
|
| The other positive in this example is that LanguageTool notes that
| "follow up" should be hyphenated before a noun. Predicate adjectives
| are excluded: "He is a well-known author." "The author is well known."
|
| The problem in implementing this is we can expect not only temporal,
| positional and personal variation, but dialectical as well with, in my
| experience, en_GB being more conservative (although the case cited
| above with LanguageTool was for en_US).
|
| All of this makes the implementation of such help a minefield
| (something I am sure was once a "mine field")!
|
| In short, using LanguageTool or even adding examples to a dictionary is
| not foolproof and you must be prepared to reject some "corrections" and
| accept that some errors will be missed.
It comes down, really, to there being no substitute for learning how to
write. Software can do some things, but it cannot read your mind. Which is
a feature, not a bug.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Threading [was: Header beginning on page 2?]
Truly don't know. It's never been an issue. And for a long time now replyto: has had issues such that I considered its use to be bad practice -- indeed, it screws up many mailing lists. (For example, this is the one list I'm on that seems to reply to both the original poster and to the list, resulting in duplicates. There may be sound reasons for this, but elsewhere it's been seen as a misconfiguration and has been eradicated almost immediately.) Not complaining, just explaining why my mailer is configured as it is.

[libreoffice-users] Header beginning on page 2?
Greetings again. I'm putting together a document which requires page numbers, but in keeping with the majority of documents the numbers should begin on page 2. I've looked but found no way to do headers beginning on page 2. Is there one? If so, how might I invoke it? (Ideally, there would be a check box, "begins on page 2," but I do sometimes think that LibreOffice developers, given the choice of ease of use and tremendous complication, pretty much always choose the latter.)

What I have not figured out is a.) why this happened -- if someone were, say, to insert an English word into a document of Japanese Kana, would L.O.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Weird line-wrap problem in Writer
The more I poke around, it seems as if the issue is related to this: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=1035 Which is labeled as fixed, but what to do to make it work isn't specified. I need to figure out where to force it to "English (USA)" everywhere -- as I look, the offending documents are all shown as being in Japanese, even though they aren't. I occasionally paste in a Japanese character or word, though this does not seem necessary to trigger the change to Japanese -- it sometimes happens in documents that have nothing to do with Japanese. And never have I specifically told Writer I was doing Japanese. So, is there a place where I can tell it not to do me this particular favor? TIA. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[libreoffice-users] Weird line-wrap problem in Writer
Having poked at this issue for days and being no closer to a solution, I turn to those on this list. I am doing battle with a line-wrap problem that defies all attempts to correct it. It's this (as illustrated in the small attached screenshot fragment): at the end of a line the writing jumps to the next line, not hyphenating anything (which is fine) but just simply splitting words in the middle. It was not always thus. I can't help but think that at some point I must have accidentally clicked on some configuration option that caused this to happen, but that option is not apparent to me. If I save the file and open it in something else, the words are wrapped normally, leading me to think it's a view or display issue. Anybody know how I can fix this? I'm running 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community atop the TDE desktop on Ubuntu 20.04. But the problem has been around for a while. Thanks in advance.
