[libreoffice-users] Full width, no margins
I often need to place two documents side by side in two Writer windows. The problem with this is that the text becomes too small, so if possible I zoom, remove rulers, and use Web Layout. Is there a way to leave the page in Print Layout but have it display without page margins? I'd like the print area of the page to be as wide as possible however playing with the zoom and the horizontal scrollbar is frustrating.

Hi :) How do you get the 2 documents side-by-side? Is that a KDE thing? or do you just arrange the windows 'by-hand'?

Regards from Tom :) In KDE =4.4 one can drag the window title bar to the sides of the screen and the window manager automatically sizes the window at full screen height (minus DE panels) and half-screen width (minus DE panels), aligned to the side of the screen to which the window title bar was dragged (or next to DE panels on that side). I believe that Windows 7 has a similar feature, as does Compiz. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Full width, no margins
Hi :) I have heard good reports of the KDE implementation but haven't heard from Win7 users about it. In Gnome i switch compiz off if possible, certainly on the machine at work. When i eventually got both documents side-by-side filling nearly half the screen each (ratio 4:3, not wide-screen) i was able to use Printer view but even at the recommended (but rarely used) font size 12 in Times New Roman the characters were fairly tiny, not quite microscopic but heading that way! In the cc to Dotan i have included a screen-shot to show what i get. Afaik there are some fairly sophisticated tools to compare different documents if you are just looking for revisions or minor differences. The Help file suggests Open the reviewer's document andthen choose Edit - Compare Document Note that you should always start with opening the newer document and compare it with the older document. (well, slightly edited but almost word-for-word) This is about the first time i have seen a good reason for having wide-screen rather than tilting it to make it tall-screen which is usually unsupported and 'weird'.

From your screenshot I created a mockup idea for the feature that I'm looking for, on the left-hand window only, were it to exist: http://dotancohen.com/images/proposed.png Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
