Right now, I'd appreciate it if anyone can please share how to do
the following in Writer?
1. Suppress header on the first page of a text document
Use different page styles for the first and subsequent pages. Set
the header only for the subsequent pages (or use an empty header on
the first page). Either insert a manual page break after the first
page or set the subsequent page style as the "next style" for the
first page style. The existing "First Page" and "Default" page
styles will do this for you automatically.
2. Keep a dotted line across a page without it automatically
becoming a solid line
Either disable the facility at Tools | AutoCorrect Options... |
Options | Apply Border or - more easily - just use Edit | Undo (or
Ctrl+Z) immediately the unwanted correction occurs.
3. Change line spacing - context menu - where's that?
Paragraph... | Indents & Spacing | Line spacing or Edit Paragraph
Style... | Indents & Spacing | Line spacing, as appropriate.
4. Suppressing hyperlinks
Disable at Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options | URL Recognition
or use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z) as above. Or right-click | Remove Hyperlink.
5. Indents - where and how to change
Paragraph... | Indents & Spacing | Indent or Edit Paragraph Style...
| Indents & Spacing | Indent.
6. Turn on/off Fast Save - so document doesn't leave personal info
in a document
See Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General and File | Properties...
| General.
7. Turn on/off the Track Changes tool
Edit | Changes > | Record.
8. Strike-through a word or sentence - context menu again?
Character... | Font Effects | Strikethrough or Edit Paragraph
Style... | Font Effects | Strikethrough.
9. Eliminating hard returns
Depends on exactly what you want to do. Use "$" in regular
expressions in Find & Replace.
10. Print file list of file names in a sub-directory
Ask your operating system.
11. (The question you didn't ask) Where do I find the answers to
these questions?
Download the Writer Guide or study the embedded help system. Or both.
I trust this helps.
