Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Glad if my inputs did sort this out in some way. I haven't referred to this topic in the guide.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Hi Toni, I just looked into the steps you have drafted in your first email, when looked into online help I found related content in the below link which might answer your query: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/find_attributes.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN The link says "For example, if you search for the Font attribute, all instances of text that do not use the default font are found". So I guess the "Font" function works only to search for the font which doesn't default in the document. Same with the font color option as well when font color is changed in the document and the "Find next" option is clicked with the "Font color" attribute selected, it works. I tried both the options and it worked for me as per whats mentioned in the link. Hope my explanation makes sense.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] reviewing Chapter 2 of the Writer Guide
Hi Jean & Kees, I have downloaded the file from the feedback folder updated with Jean's comments and worked on all the required changes including the change in images. Please let me know if that's not the protocol to be followed and if the changes in the file had to be made directly in nextcloud for others to know that someone is working on the file. The file is pending with one topic where a little bit of research needs to be done. About the above mail chain, I just looked at what is the default option. It is the icon with the dropdown, please refer to the below screenshot for the same. Ever since I downloaded LibreOffice I haven't made any changes pertaining to this option in my Standard tollbar and I have only one "Insert Special Character" option with a dropdown. So the guide was updated as per the default option visible in my LibreOffice. Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Hi Jean, It was nice to go through your responses to my comments which provided me better insights, will research back and respond to the same. Could you please let me know if replacing the figures from the Windows version would do?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffice writer- Crash
@Pulkit Krishna Thank you for your prompt response, even I had reported the issue couple of times. Hi Regina, The issue is the same with any of the fonts when the text is selected in the inserted text box and clicked on Increase or Decrease font size.

[libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffice writer- Crash
Hi, Writing this email to notify the crash report I came across repetitively when reviewing the guide. The LibreOffice software window closes suddenly and the below dialogue box pops up when trying to increase or decrease the text size in the inserted Text box in LibreOffice writer. I'm not sure if the same is happening to others as well. [image: image.png] I'm new to LibreOffice, I hope mailing this here is okay.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: LibreOffice documentation-MS Word
Hi Toni & Jean, Thank you for your prompt response. I just had a glimpse at the Writer guide and navigated through the LibreOffice writer as well, would having knowledge of MS Word be helpful to meet the purpose of this task? I found similarities between both, so probably I can be lending a helping hand to be of some help. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
