Re: [libreoffice-users] Creating a thick line in Libre Draw and Writer

[charles meyer]

Piet,

Thank you so very much.

That works in Libre Writer.

Is there a way to create and thicken a line in Libre Draw, too?

Thank you again for your helpful instructions and explanation.

Charles.

This usually is not a proper way to draw a line in Writer. It actually is not a 
line, but a sequence of character that happen to look like aline (depending on 
the font).

The line actually is the bottom border of a paragraph. So you can change the

No, because the line is a border and bold only applies to characters

Same here, the line is not characters.

That is the other way to insert a line, but after that selection you have to 
draw the line with your mouse: click where you want the line to start and then 
drag to its endpoint. To keep it precisely horizontal, press SHIFT while 
dragging.

You first have to draw a line, in the same way as I described above by clicking 
on the line icon in the drawing toolbar. Then drag a line across the page.

[libreoffice-users] Creating a thick line in Libre Draw and Writer

[charles meyer]

Hi Folks,

I hope I’m describing this correctly.

I wanted to create a straight line horizontally across the page in
Libre Writer or Draw (that would be preferable).

I’m using Libre Writer/Draw/Offcice 5.1.1.3

It’s my understanding that when I choose the key on my PC keyboard
next to the zero key that I’m choosing an ASCI character?

Anyway, I use that key (line key) and keep pressing that key until I
reach a line length across the page I desire and it creates a straight
line.

Now, the tricky part.

How do I make that straight line thicker?

In Libre Writer, I’ve opened Insert > Horizontal Line and it inserts a
line but I don’t see how you can make that line thicker?

I’ve highlighted the entire line and hit bold – still no thicker.

I’ve highlighted that entire line and chosen a larger font (as large
as 26) still no thicker.

I’ve chosen Insert > Shape (singular not plural Shapes as in earlier
versions there is the plural Shapes) > Line > then Line again and it
inserts nothing.

In Libre Draw, I choose Format > Line where you can adjust width which
appears in the little box to be thicker except when I click OK there
is no line in the Libre Draw document.

Thanks so much for your help.

Charles.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office clc file not opening in MSO Excel 2007

[Bruce Hohl]

From LO to which file format (ods, xls, xlsx) do you save the spreadsheet?
What is "clc file"?
Do the files open if no password is used?

Re: [libreoffice-users] ubuntu problem

[Robert Leleu]

Under Ubuntu 16.04 I just checked some ods and xlsx. They opened lo 
5.1.4.2 (the present version in Ubuntu) without problem.





Je la 02/07/2016 09:01, Tim Lloyd skribis :

Hi,

I wonder whether any of the ubuntu users have an input on this thread 
in LQ.


http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/help-with-libreoffice-calc-not-opening-documents-and-freezing-4175583418/ 



Basically, calc is experiencing difficulties in LO but all is fine in 
OOo. I am sure I have heard mentions of GTK problems before on this 
forum.


Cheers
