Re: [libreoffice-users] Automatic sizing of documents in single window

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Hi,

I have a question in that context:

How does LO (writer) determines the window size while opening a file?
I know, that one can set the page size and found, that LO stores in some way 
the window size of a file for display.
However, this is overridden when I run LO in command line mode (for printing, 
translation etc in a bash script). Thereafter all files newly openend in a 
distorted (small) window. I tried to manipulate the
registrymodifications.xcu
However, in regular intervals its overridden by someone else (LO?).
Thus, every time I open a file, I have to change the window size manually.

(Debian Linux, KDE 3.5, LO 3.5.5.2, 4.0.4.2)

Hi :)
Please, when replying do a Reply to all or Group reply or Reply to list.  
Thanks for trying to work-around the 'problem' of me getting duplicates of your 
replies but i really don't mind getting duplicates.  It's easy to hit the 
delete key.  I think we are supposed to delete-out individual's addresses from 
the To and CC fields but sometimes that means the person that posted 
doesn't get any of the replies because they are not properly subscribed to the 
mailing list.  It's easier just to send to the list and everyone and let them 
quickly hit their delete key when they see the same message got through twice.  


The mailing lists used to have a really clever way of handling all this but 
various people prefer it this way around :(  The rest of us have just learned 
to live with it.  


Sorry about all that!! 



It should be possible to Cascade any windows that are in a group on your 
taskbar surely?  Don't you just right-click on the 'button' on the taskbar and 
select Cascade?  Win Xp and earlier going back to Win98 had something like 
that didn't they?  Vista and Win7 too?  So, is this problem only happening on 
Win8?  


Also which version of LibreOffice are you using?  If you have any trouble at 
all with 4.1.0 then just uninstall it and go back to 4.0.4.  That 3rd digit 
show how many service packs the branch has had so about .4 becomes very very 
stable and predictable.  Most people will find even beta-testing versions 
plenty stable enough but some will find odd things that don't quite work for 
them, in which case just go back to the stable branch.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hello, Tom, and thanks for replying

The documents (at this time) are all text and spreadsheet.  The ones that I 
open as a group all contain different, but related, information that I 
consolidate or replace. After I get this data together, it will be time for 
the slide-show (or dog and pony show, depending on whose watching.)

In MSOffice, I had the option of selecting all or some of these and having 
them tile or cascade in the window (using the MS terms.)  That's what I'm 
trying to replicate.  Right now, I'm doing this manually, and anything of 
three kills a great deal of time.  I may be out of luck or have to wait for 
another version to roll out.

Regards,
Jumper

BTW, the reply on the LO web site tried to send your answer to me to you 
again, so I'm replying directly.

Hi :)
Is it a Draw document/picture or an Impress slide-show?  If so the extra panes 
are for fairly crucial things you are likely to need when editing. 

Regards from
Tom :)
