Re: [libreoffice-users] [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?
Hi :) Yes. Errr, i am not sure about the variety of underlining and such but there are 10 levels of headings that, by default, are linked together so that if you change the font on one of them that change flows through to the rest so that you can easily keep things consistent. I'm not sure how smart it is, for example if changing h2 changes h1 or just the ones lower than it (h3, h4 and so on). It's easy enough to change the default. There is a chapter about styles and templates in official documentation. Chapter 3 of the Getting Started Guide. There are pre-release and older versions of official documentation on this wiki-page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications But it is fairly widely distributed already.

Hello I use H1 for the document's main title, and H2 for sub-sections. To make H2 sections more obvious, I'd like to have the text underlined and have the underline go all the way to the right margin instead of just the text itself. I vaguely remember being able to do this with Word, but can LibreOffice Writer do this too?

Open the Styles and Formatting window (use F11 to do this). When it opens, right click Heading 2 and select Modify. Click the Border tab. You want to create a bottom border by clicking below the gray square in the User defined window. Select the thickness (width) for the line and the color you want to use. If you have a preference as to the type of line used, select that also. Click OK. This should do it. --Dan -- 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

Don't use underline (in Font effects tab) but use borders (in, well, Borders tab) instead. Just add bottom border, possibly set width, style and spacing and you are done. Please note that border will underline whole header box, not line of text (check with long headings of two or more lines of text). Perhaps this is something you want anyway, but you should be aware of difference. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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
