[libreoffice-users] Stepping through bulleted items in Presentation

I have rarely used Presentation, but I'm starting to use it more. When I want to step through several bulleted items in a slide, I typically create the first slide with one bullet, and then create a duplicate slide and add the new bulleted item to the previous one. I create as many duplicate

I see no such option to disable at that menu location in LO 5.1.6.2 for Linux. I DO see the option in LO 5.2.3.3 for Windows. Virgil Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: "m.a.riosv" Perhaps in relation with:

[libreoffice-users] Slow response time with Calc

When using Calc, I like to navigate across the cells using the arrow keys on the keyboard. I'm finding when I do this on my Linux system, the longer I'm in the spreadsheet, the slower my navigation becomes. After a while, there's a large delay when I press one of the arrow keys. Eventually,

Thanks for the heads up. I'm running Win10 and Ubuntu 14.04. I don't believe I've yet been offered the Anniversary Upgrade, but when I am, I will proceed very cautiously (or not at all). Virgil On 12/01/2016 09:17 AM, Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster wrote: > > This is not about LO but about MS

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Line spacing changed.

I've played a little with your two files. I printed page 3 of each PDF file and compared the two. On my printouts, the line spacing was identical until the second line of the first bullet of section 1.1.7. At that point, one started getting tighter. This was the first paragraph on the page

Re: [libreoffice-users] Transferring Markdown Documents to LibreOffice

You can do much the same with LO itself. I've always loved the PDF output from LO's PDF converter. For some reason I've never been able to figure out, its PDF output seems sharper and crisper than the PDF output created by other programs, including LaTeX or LyX. It may just be me. I've also

Re: [libreoffice-users] Transferring Markdown Documents to LibreOffice

I've used quite a few Markdown editors. I know nothing about CentOS, so I can't recommend anything for that OS. On Windows, I like WriteMonkey. In Linux, the best I've seen is ReText, but last I checked, it's developer was no longer supporting an Ubuntu PPA for the program making installation

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Strange line spacing

Yes, anytime I copy anything from a Word file, I paste it using "paste special" and then "unformatted text." Word and LO work differently enough that the last thing I want is Word's formatting codes messing up my styles. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'd bet that the .docx school logo is

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Strange line spacing

Let me echo Jomali's advice about formatting after typing. I would go one step further and highly recommend learning how to use paragraph styles. I confess it can take time to learn, which we typically don't have when we're just trying to get a job done before a deadline. In that case, it's
