[libreoffice-users] Problem with Bullets and Saving in Impress
Hi - there seems to be a problem with Bullets in Impress 3.4 beta 5 under Linux (i64) - is there a workaround? To reproduce this bug: - open a new presentation - make a multiline input - click on bulltets/ numbering - save the document - close LO - open the document in LO - bullets are gone Cheers -- Encryption?!: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7EF3637B GPG-Fingerprint: 1986 0949 8102 817D C3E3 B5AA 3CF6 E44C 7EF3 637B Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Hide sections from printed outputs
Dear Brian, Thank you for the reply. The Character > Font Effects > Hidden was something that had crossed my mind, but the problem is, such text don't show up until Non-printing characters are set to be visible under View menu (as explained in the http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Formatting_Aids documentation as well). This however displays all those other symbols too! Dear Cor, Thank you for putting the spark in my brain. Under Tools > Customize > Events I found this entry 'Print Document' which I believe will be invoked before the print dialogue is brought up. Here I can write a macro to change a variable to control the visibility of such sections. As of now I don't know if this will ever fly but I'm going to give it one big try :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Hide-sections-from-printed-outputs-tp2953045p2955773.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

(PDF Options is an example.) AFAIK, the standard version of LibO (downloaded from the website) does not use this side-by-side layout. If the Find & Replace dialog could be changed so "more options" are displayed to the right, then it should work much better for those of us who need to use larger fonts to see the text. I don't know how many of these "too tall" dialogs there are, but I would think changing all of them would be a definite usability plus. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

If I understand you correctly, I think you can do this without conditions: o Select the relevant text. o Go to Format | Character... | Font Effects (or right-click | Character... | Font Effects), and tick Hidden. o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Formatting Aids | Display of, and tick "Hidden text". o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Print | Contents, and ensure that "Hidden text" is *not* ticked. The marked text will now be visible in the editing screen but not in Page Preview or printed output or material exported to PDF. You can do this with a section, but only (it seems) if you hide the text in the section, not the section itself. I trust this helps.

I still have Win7 booted (I'm testing Ubuntu Natty installs in VMWare & VirtualBox on it) & think I may have figured out how to get you something that _might_ help. Go back to the Display setting & instead of setting to 125%, click the item on the left menu 'Set custom text size (DPI)'. Scale that to 110% (hold the left mouse key down & slide the scale to adjust) & check 'Use Windows XP style DPI scaling', and click OK & then 'Apply'. You'll need to log out/in for the setting to take effect. Give that a try. If not you can experiment with other percentages. I found that I could see the 'Search all sheets' at 120% as well.

As long as I open "more options" I can move the box around, but not beyond the upper edge of the screen: it "hits the ceiling". And in that position the lower have of the "more options" is and remains below the horizon. I know that there IS the option "search in all sheets", but I just cannot reach it - physically.

Re: [libreoffice-users] lower part of dialog boxes not visible
Change the dots per inch setting in your display dialogue. Go from a higher number to a lower number. Standard is 96 or 72, but may be set anywhere. There may be a window with simple radio dial select controls of Smaller, Medium, Large. Just select smaller.

[libreoffice-users] lower part of dialog boxes not visible
Good morning (I am subscribed to the list, but under a different mail address, which I apparently cannot use where I am now. I hope, this gets through anyway,.)

When I am in Calc and want to search for something, a "search and replace" dialog box opens. On my desktop computer at home I have the handle "more options" -> click -> search all sheets. I would like to do the same thing on the notePC, but the lower portion of that dialog box is and remains somewhere BELOW the lower edge of the screen = invisible.
