Re: [libreoffice-users] Bullets Numbering
Thank you Kevin, Alex, Tom Steve for responding. Your suggestion works for the simple case just fine. I suppose now I have a different yet very related question. The document is more complex and I can't get it to work right. Kevin, your articles are helpful, though I admit I skipped the first one. For example: 1. Level One a. Level Two b. c. d. e. f. g. i. Level Three ii. h. i. j. k. 2. 3. 4. a. b. 5. etc. I've tried various things, none of them will give me the above structure. It refuses to number item 1h (or anything thereafter) properly. Kevin, I read your article 2 and 3 which are very informative. But I'm still unable to get it to behave. It will do a variety of (mostly bizarre) things. At various points it made the h an a, if I restart numbering, a b, if I continue the previous numbering an o for some reason, a bullet when I hit enter after g.ii., and absolutely nothing at one point. Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss as to determine what it is. Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions.

[libreoffice-users] Master Document
Using LibreOffice 4.1.5 on Win 7 home premium: I have a master document with 50 sub-documents. The problem I am having is that the sub-documents are not rendered the same way when opened separately as when opened in the master document. This is a bilingual dictionary with an English-Neapolitan section and a Neapolitan-English section. Each letter of each section is contained in its own sub-document. For each letter, at the top of the page, on left (even numbered) pages, there appears the first word on the page, left-justified, in slightly larger font, and on right (odd numbered) pages, the last word on the page, right-justified and in slightly larger font. This cannot be accomplished using headers since it must be different on each page. Well, I suppose it could be accomplished using headers but it would require a separate style for every page in the nearly 400 page book. Consequently, I have used the first line on each page for this purpose with the regular text pushed down and beginning on the fourth line. This has a very aesthetically pleasing appearance in the sub-documents, but in the master document the line spacing is obviously not rendered in the same way so that on some pages in the master document, the first line will be what was the last line in the previous page of the sub-document, pushing the headline word down... and obviously unusable. Is there some reason why the master document does not render the sub-documents in the same was as they are rendered when opened separately?

Alex If I want an empty new line WITHOUT changing the level I'm on, and without giving a bullet or number to that empty line, then I create the empty line by typing [ctrl]-[enter] at the end of the previous line. Also, in the Formatting toolbar, the Decrease Indent (or [ctrl]-[alt]-[left arrow]) and Increase Indent (or [ctrl]-[alt]-[right arrow]) icons are helpful.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
I suspect that this is a feature of the mouse driver, and that it works in a variety of programs. I have noticed that when scrolling up or down thru a document using the scroll-wheel of the mouse. Something I do turns on an 'automated' scroll. I'll notice a new symbol on the screen (light blue and transparent, if I remember correctly). If I move the mouse pointer to be horizontal with that symbol, the scrolling will stop. If I move the pointer above the symbol, the document will scroll toward the top. If I move the pointer below it, then the document will scroll toward the bottom. If I remember correctly, hitting [esc] will kill this 'automated' scroll. -- Tim Deaton === On 3/21/2014 5:10 PM, Girvin Herr wrote: Greetings, I am not sure this is a LibreOffice problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
Hi :) I had forgotten but i've had this in the dimdistant past too but it's usually been a hardware/hygiene issue. To solve tons of these sorts of irritations i've had success doing things such as unplugging the mouse and then plugging it back in again (sometimes to a different usb-port), cleaning the mouse (or surface of the track-pad) and the mouse-pad (or chucking it and using the table-top instead until that gets dirty too), rebooting the machine (this one has obviously been tried). Running standard update procedure for which-ever OS. Even once or twice updating drivers for the Human Interface Device (ie, mouse) (errr, only in Windows because other OSes automatically update drivers as part of the standard update). I've even completely dismantled a few mice (mouses?), even optical ones (when unplugged jic) and been amazed at the weird gunk inside. With keyboards it's a good idea to shake them upside-down but avoid being under it as the shower of paper-clips (even tho i've not used any nor been anywhere near paper-clips for about a decade they still seem to appear), crumbs, weird dust, hairs that don't even look human (hopefully). I've even dismantled a few and thoroughly cleaned but then been unable to get the space-bar back in (isn't that where astronauts drink?). Anti-bac wipes across keyboards and mices surfaces shouldn't hurt much either, right? At client's or colleagues desks i just plug in a 'new' one, check it works and take the old one away to clean it (or bin it) out-of-sight. Not possible for a track-pad obviously! For them a wipe with a dryish damp cloth and then one of those cotton buds (that shouldn't be used for cleaning ears) to twizzle around the edges. I tend to see all this as fairly routine maintenance (ie to be avoided at all costs until it's too late and i regret not doing it all earlier). Even the cleanest and most hygienic people shed skin over the years, plus skins have natural oils to protect against all-sorts @ Dan Hall, please post as a fresh new question. Actually the international translators occasionally solve this problem quite often for people. Generally it's due to things like the regionalisation of the Operating System mis-matching the language installed with LibreOffice or Tools - Options - Language Settings not having the correct language selected. Sometimes the correct dictionaries are not installed on the OS so there's nothing for LO to grab onto. Most of these sorts of things are more likely in Windows but they occasionally happen in other OSes too. Please let people know which OS (Xp, right?) when you post the fresh new question. Really kind of the shop to set it up wrong and then sell you more stuff! Around where i live therre are tons of shops but only 2 i trust as almost all the others have shafted me over the years. Pc World seems to be the worst although Currys/Dixons were appalling the one time a client used them (and apparently ripped of tons of other people over the whole Sony Vaio case too). The 2 i trust are small independent businesses that actually deliver more than they promise.

Clicking in the scroll bar does stop it, and I haven't had it scroll past where the cursor is (if it's still in the scroll bar). This is primarily in newer versions of software, and my suspicion is that it's related to programming for mobile devices or tablets. I do have one application where clicking in the scroll bar causes the list to jump to the point where the click was done; I'll see if the developers can tell me whether there's any correlation.
