Re: Text document multi-page view

2017-12-28 Thread William K Helbig Jr

Rory,

Thanks. What I did was to somehow turn off the status bar so I didn't 
see the controls. I though the display didn't look quite right but it 
didn't dawn on me what was missing.

Can someone please tell me what I did?

While editing a text document I somehow managed to cause the screen
display to show two pages side by side, like what page preview does.
Also if a create new document it opens in the same multi-page manner,
but when opening an existing document it displays correctly as a single
page.

I'm sure I unintentionally selected some option but I can't figure out
what or where.

I am running OpenOffice 4.1.1 of a 64-bit Linux system.

Three icons at bottom right of OO window, on the status bar.  Click on leftmost 
icon (single page).  Adjust scale by pulling the slider to their right, or 
double click in % box on the corner and choose a scaling factor.

After searching the forum I've managed to find a way to get rid of the
irritating shading of hyperlinks by selecting 'white' as the field
shading colour.  However, while this overcomes the problem in cells
that have a white background colour anyway, the downside is that cells
with an individual fill colour now have hyperlinks shaded in white.

Judging by the number of results I got when 'Googling' for a fix to
this I would suggest that a lot of people find this issue rather
annoying, so I'd like to suggest that a future update might include
the addition of a 'no colour' option in the Field Shadings colour
selection menu of the ToolsOptionsAppearance section.


you can uncheck 'view - field shadings'. am i missing something?

Yes, you are. The original post refers to the way hyperlinks are 
displayed in a spreadsheet where 'view - field shadings' in not an option.

FODT (was [ANN] Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 released)

2013-10-05 Thread William K Helbig Jr

FODT = Flat ODT file.

A text document saved in the OpenDocument format, but stored as a flat 
XML file instead of the .ZIP container used by .ODT files.


There is some discussion from 5 or 6 years ago of it here
