Which version of Windows do you have?
I constantly got that "permission" issue with Vista and upgraded to
Win7. Now all my Windows systems run Win10. I have not had any
"permission" issues since upgrading to Win7, except for trying to
install older packages that were made during Win XP days and not updated
for the newer OSs.
As for the "space bar" issue, I get around this by either using two
methods. 1 - make sure the image/object is anchored to the page and not
a character. 2 - define the size of the space by changing the font
size. If you need to move the object a quarter of the space bar with,
make that "space" size the size you need by entering the specific
quarter font size in the font size "toolbox" window, i.e. normal is 12,
then place 3.0 in the font size "box". I usually type in the sizes got
larger than the 96 point. I just tried typing in the 3 point size for
my default font and it works fine. In theory you can type in 3.5 or 6.3.
As for the cost of MS Office, I dumped MS Office back in the 2002/2003
version days. Once OpenOffice read/wrote .doc files, I stopped using MS
for most things. Once LibreOffice came out, I dumped OpenOffice.
I went to open source packages due to their "cost". Since there were a
number of packages I needed that I could not find for Windows, I looked
at Linux. Linux had what I needed. I have been using Ubuntu-based
Linux as my default system[s] since Feb. 2010, but had at least one
Linux system running since 2005 or 2006.

One of my questions, involves an issue I encountered last night with
administrator permissions. This is strictly a one person computer, and I AM the
administrator, and I actually resent it when my computer tells me that I do not
have permission to do anything on my own computer. It once made me so mad, on a
different computer...that I spent hours trying to fix all the permissions, and
ended up having to re-install windows, because I screwed it up so badly. I
thought that I had myself designated as the administrator on this
computer...but it seems that I am only listed as computer user with special
permissions. The program would not even let me update it.
My other question is...how can I reset the distance that objects will move when
I press the space bar? I have the same problem with Open office. The space bar
moves objects much too far. I want them to move at the tiniest possible
increments for the utmost precision. I have used both MS-Word, and MS-Publisher
for many years, and both these programs gave me this level of precision--but I
currently have no copy of either, and can't afford them, either. I am NOT a
Bill Gates fan, in any way, shape, or form...but I am used to working with word
and Publisher, and I know how to make them do exactly what I want them to do. I
know of no open source equivalent for Publisher...but, I wish I could find one.
I also know of no open source program which will even open my old Publisher
files. I wish I could find that, as well.
I am also an avid believer in open source, and I really appreciate the
existence of open source software...so there has to be a way to make this
adjustment. I need more precise control over the spacing and placement of
objects that I insert into my documents. Susan Hope Mason
