[libreoffice-users] Re: Hide rows in a table in Writer
Needs to be a simple table in writer not an embeded calc spreadsheet. Friend is complaining about it as he says he needs the function that he had in MS Word, but can not afford the price of Word. I can see how to hide the text but this leaves small empty rows. Would need to completely hide the row as if it was not there. Thanks for advice. Jason.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Hide rows in a table in Writer
Hi :) Perhaps shrink the height of the row until it looks more like a double-underline? That would work in Word too. If he insists on using it as a cheapskate version of MS Office he is going to be struggling. LibreOffice has different ways of doing things and when you use them instead of just complaining about it not being the same then you find it actually out-performs and produces much better quality documents than you get with MS Office. I wish the marketing people would stop mentioning about the price and just sell it on performance instead. I think we would get more people using it and using it properly.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Hide rows in a table in Writer
Hi :) Sorry! I wasn't sure if that was meant to be off-list or not. It looked fine for the list. I think we all knew you already thought this way anyway so that part didn't really need to be said. I wasn't really attacking you although i can see why it would be interpreted that way. Sorry about that! Row height might be more comfortable a fair bit more than 1 pixel height, maybe just enough so that you can see the contents, without zooming in too much, on the odd occasions you want to (if you or he does). You can post Feature requests in the same way as bug-reports. One of the drop-down menus has Enhancement request or Feature request in it somewhere. Other projects call it Wish-list item or other things but you will probably know when you see it. It is fairly well hidden in just 1 of the drop-downs though. This guide might help but obviously ignore all the detail that you would normally need to give in a bug-report at some point https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport Hope this helps a bit!

I much more prefer the way that Libre Office works. I tend to find that (and this is what I like) all related items are in one dialog box. Not split all over the place. Prefer menus to a ribbon. Personally I have never wanted to hide rows, until last night did not know that Word could do it. Will see if friend will accept the workaround of making the row heights equal 1 pixel. On another point how can we contact developers with ideas of functions that may be nice to incorporate.
