Much better to solve your problem through the product's interface - wherever possible. Untitled 1 is merely the (temporary) name given to a new document before it is saved - from whatever template. If you are somehow dissatisfied with such a document, you are presumably unhappy with the template from which it is created. If you are knowingly creating it from a specific template, the solution is: don't! If you are not, then you must have set some alternative or modified template as your default. To reset the default template to the original default, simply go to File | Templates | Organize... | Commands | Reset Default Template | Text Document. There is no need to wreck your other settings and customisations. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] title1 style used for selected words, not paragraph
Hi, I want to set the outline level of the selected words same as title1 style, for example: Abstract: LibreOffice is a wonderful office suit as free software. It has been widely used. balabala As you can see above, Abstract is in the same paragraph as the following sentences. I want to set Abstract as title1, not the whole paragraph. If I simply apply title1 style, then the paragraph is seen in the table of contents, which is not what I want. I could not just select Abstract, and apply the title1 style too. It doesn't work, but it works in MSoffice. So, what should I do ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to center a pasted drawing?
Hi :) My main point was that all different ways work. The 'best' or 'correct' way is simply whichever you choose to use, or like using, or feel comfortable with. To quote The Levellers There only one way of life, and that's your own That's one reason i prefer OpenSource. It allows you to keep using your own way and doesn't keep forcing you to learn new ways or change radically. (Although installing Cinnamon or Mate to stick with Gnome and avoid the Unity interface in Ubuntu might be a pain but at least the option is there, to go back to the old ways) It's nice to have other options to explore and some might even be 'better' for a particular purpose but only if you are happy enough using them. Thanks for letting me know why i prefer the options i do. I hadn't thought about it but that is exactly the way i usually use images.

When it's to paragraph the image moves around when the paragraph moves around so i find some pages suddenly have more images than others. Although that is definitely an advantage sometimes.

At that point, I think that I usually anchor to the paragraph, but I would need to go back and check the few documents where that was what I wanted to do...

Once you have used one for a while or tried a few you start to learn things and want certain features and are not impressed with others.

Anything slightly weird gets rejected and reported to HQ. 4. When you have a few bits of the puzzle your torrenting client starts offering outsiders those parts, NOT any other random other thing on your machine. It's made specifically to deal with the file in question. If your machine was heavily infected it doesn't want to accidentally pass any of that on so it tightly focusses on just the file it's been asked to deal with. The upshot is that you start dishing out that file to anyone else that is nearby so their download starts getting faster. If new people join they will be getting parts you don't have yet and those become available to your client so your download gets faster and faster too. Normal downloading means downloading from just 1 place. If that is in Romania and you are in the US then it's likely to be slow. If you are in New Zealand then even slower.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Downloader Not Working
Hi :) New Zealand is an unusual case because it has limited access to the outside world but has high quality links inside the country. At least, i think that's still the case. I think there is a University there that was quite quick to act as mirror for various OpenSource projects. I don't think they got into being a major seed for torrenting though so it might be worth trying to find if there is a direct download site at one of your Universities. I remember a lot of people joining in protests against the NZ skynet bills so i'm sad to hear it went through anyway. People in the US seem to think that freedom of speech is a right that everyone on the planet is entitled to but many of us live in countries that have no such pretence.

[libreoffice-users] Sort problems
LO 4.0.3.3 I've had some problems with sorting that may have cost me 6 hours of work. Wondering what's going on. Biggest problem is that when sorting and choosing to expand selection it sometimes only expands to some of the columns of data. Why would this happen? I noticed this after a while of working on a large data file, and earlier sorts may have only sorted a portion of the sheet, meaning I have to check and possibly re-create all of my work. Much less problematic, recently I'm sorting a sheet and it sorts not only the column of data but also the columns themselves. Since I'm using vlookup a bunch, with static references (to work properly in my case), this re-sorting will screw up the entire file. I can't afford the time to recreate the vlookups each time I sort.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Sort problems
Hi :) This sort of thing would work more easily in a database. I take it that Calc is having the problems? It might be possible to use Base to read the spreadsheet and then export to an external back-end that would really take care of the data and stop lines from being broken up in that way. However in Calc can you define a fixed area to be a database? Is that something to do with pivot-tables or data-pilot or something? For the data-recovery aspect do you have a fairly recent version of your file on Usb-stick, or emailed to yourself or to someone else or backed-up on a local machine or somewhere on the network file-shares or saved to a Cloud while you were working on it from 2 places.

[libreoffice-users] Opening recent Writer documents takes me to start of doc in LibO v.4.0.3.3
Hi list In LibO v. 4.0.3.3 Writer when I open existing documents via the File/ Recent Documents menu, the requested document opens at the beginning of the document, and not at the end/ last saved point as expected. This is on GNU/ Linux Mint 14, with LibO 4.0.3.3. Any thoughts about how to test/ correct this or to open at the last saved position?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Opening recent Writer documents takes me to start of doc in LibO v.4.0.3.3
Hmmm, I am not getting the same behaviour on 4.0.3.3 under Fedora 18. I just tried a doc I haven't accessed for a couple of weeks and that went straight into the doc (whether that was last saved point I am not sure). However this link throws some light on the matter: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1144/how-to-save-cursor-position-in-writer/ This could be the old problem where the user profile gets corrupted. Did you upgrade from 4.0.2 or an earlier version? Any more details? Documents saved in 4.0.3.3 or an earlier version. Or all documents? ODT files or DOC files?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: re. doc to pdf
Usually I think of the opening scene in Tom Jones, where the two doctors keep arguing over the patient about what's ailing him until he dies.

[libreoffice-users] Possible to write reports with relationship data?
All the report tutorials I've seen seem somewhat primitive, in terms of what kinds of structures can be printed. If I have a main entity, and I have two one-to-many relationships to other tables (FK links from the other tables to the main table), is there any way to generate a report with the main table data, and the data for the other relationships also included (indented and formatted properly)? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
