[libreoffice-users] Formatting Comments?
Is there a way to permanently set the format of comments in a Writer document? The comment drop down "Format All Comments" selection does not work for me. For example, I change the font from Times New Roman to Liberation Sans and the font in the comment window changes as per my selection, but any subsequent comments revert back toTimes New Roman. Is there any permanent solution? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Formatting comments
Thank you, Philip. I opened the default template (/home/sob/.config/libreoffice/4/user/template/New.ott) and verified the required font setting for the default document template. Then I created a comment in the template document, formatted it as I require, used the little button to select “Format all comments,” and saved the template again as the default template for documents. (And logged out for good measure.) Alas . . . In the document I am working on it still insists on the one I don’t want (which is not even installed); and now for new documents it chooses neither one nor the other but a third one! I’m beginning to think my computer is haunted by the ghost of dead fonts. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Formatting comments
Hi Seamas, I was hoping to see some informed replies to your query but none so far so here's my 2 pennyworth. My guess is that the font spec for comments is buried in the default template you use for LO Writer documents. In templates I've made, where I've set up all fonts I want, the comments use the fonts I specified as basic for the text. In other cases where I have made a template using a document provided by someone else (and probably originating in MS Word), the comments mostly use Times New Roman which I never use (but which resides on PC anyway). But in any case, using the button inside the comments does let you change all existing comments with one click to whatever font you want, even if it doesn't continue for new comments added later.
