Would someone be kind enough to help me with these 2 problems I have
with Writer? Both involve intrusions in long files. They have
somehow crept in & resist all attempts to remove.
1. A line an inch and a half long with the digit 1 below. I imagine
this denotes a footnote, but there are none in this file, as I use
only endnotes. Even deleting the whole section (before and after the
intrusion) won't work, as the intrusion remains. How can I get rid of it?
If you put the cursor over the figure "1", it should change into a
hand with a pointing finger. Click, and focus should move to the
anchor for this footnote in the text. When you know where the anchor
is, you may be able to investigate what is happening.
Alternatively, open the Navigator using View | Navigator (or press
F5). Click the Navigation button and then the Footnote button. The
two buttons with blue arrows now become "Previous footnote" and "Next
footnote", and you can use these to move focus to and locate footnote anchors.
2. Another file has a blank line inserted before what should be the
first line. When I reveal the codes there is indeed a one line empty
box here. Again I can find no way to delete it. What do I need to do?
There is no "reveal codes" in Writer, of course: presumably you mean
that you have toggled on the display of non-printing characters. But
I'm not sure how that would display a "box" that you couldn't have
seen before, in fact.
o Is this a frame? If so, click the edge of the frame to select it
- so that you see the eight green handles. Then press Backspace.
o Is this a one-row table? If so, put the cursor into the table and
go to Table | Delete > | Table. Alternatively, and perhaps more
easily, right-click in the table and use Row > | Delete.
I trust this helps.
