Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with formatting footnotes...
Hi :) Jorge's answer is excellent and covers many different scenarios. I am not clear what Gena means by footnotes but the various different things that i think could be meant could all be done using Jorge's answer. Gena, by footnotes do you mean 1. Notes added to a document that someone else wrote as students might do in text-books or teachers might do to students papers or office-workers might do to collaborate on a document? 2. References notes at the end of a document to show the source of ideas or quotes, eg such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(footnotes)#Notes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes The hundreds of footnotes dealt with each day, are they all in one book or document or are they in many different documents (or many articles within a magazine or something)? Jorge's answer covers all those options and could be used for footers and more too but there might be something more specifically relevant depending on what Gena means by foot-notes.

Re: [libreoffice-users] printing preview issue
Hi :) I think it is expected behaviour and i thought that was the way Excel treats it too. It's worth posting a bug-report / wish-list item / feature-request about this issue tho! http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport That guide should have a link to help you post a bug-report and put Wish-list in the subject-line. It might have a more sophisticated way of posting a feature-request. So, it's your choice. Until that gets addressed i think you have to keep using your work-around of a dummy character.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Help with formatting footnotes...
Hi All! Thank you for the replies! When I say footnotes, I am talking about the type used in academic writing. Endnotes also have the same problem... For a simple explanation of what footnotes and endnotes are, see: http://www.aresearchguide.com/7footnot.html Let me be a little more specific about my problem . . . while I am writing, I use Zotero to insert footnotes containing citation information. Also, I add footnotes manually when I need to add a little extra information. These footnotes come up in a different font than I am using, and I also like to change the font size to be a little smaller. I can not select all the footnotes at once and change these things. I have to do each one manually, which adds up quickly when you consider there are 50-60 per chapter of my 8 chapter dissertation. And then there are other documents that I am working on too. I almost never have a piece of writing without footnotes. The next problem I have encountered is how footnotes and endnotes appear in .docx format; especially when I open them in Microsoft Word 2008 or 2011 for Mac. Unfortunately, no matter how much I'd like to use LibreOffice instead of Word, I have to submit my documents in .docx form to be read in Word. I have already done this once, and I had to re-insert every footnote in Word after transferring the document. Because of these two problems, at this point, LibreOffice is simply unusable for me - and probably for most academics and university students. It's a shame, because I really love it otherwise - especially its support for uncommon fonts (which I use a lot of). I can use N'Ko with LibreOffice, but not with Word 2011. (For more info on N'Ko, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%27Ko_script). While creating a macro may work, footnotes and endnotes are something that really should work automatically - especially for people who aren't good with computers, like me! :) And even if I do get that working, .docx files need to transfer seamlessly to Word 2011. Unfortunately, even if I switch to LibreOffice, the rest of my colleagues probably won't and so I need to be able to work with them without problems. I hope this explains everything!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Help with formatting footnotes...
Hi :) You might find that using Shift and Ctrl V inserts text better than using Ctrl V without the Shift key. I'm not sure how the unformatted paste will look but it sometimes works :) I think the Documentation Team might be worth asking if you could join their mailing list forward it to them. Can you use the older Doc format or do you really have to use DocX? Doc (without the X) is more compatible with more systems than DocX. DocX even misbehaves between different version of MS Office apparently, ie between MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. I find it odd that academia is supporting the move to restricting access to information rather than supporting intellectual freedom http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/ http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/opendocument/ But this sort of thing happens when people allow commercial interests to push them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with formatting footnotes...
1st workaround You could try inserting a text box, I use them all the time, you can move them to where ever and adjust any of the parameters independent of the the main page, even from page to page.. the footnote numbers you can enter manually (eg 1, 2) and use the fonts superscript to look the same. the only draw back as I can see is that when you click on the 1 say, it does not take you to the footnote. Insert Frame (then remove the borders) 2nd work around as far as submitting in .docx format is concerned, .doc is much better!? in translation and MS will open files as if in both, so if you must then you can manually edit file.doc to file.docx, MS and LO will open it - perfectly. regards John B On 06/07/2011 20:33, gena_hill wrote: Hi!

Would a Form Filter not do the trick ? Alex The problem is that I need to filter on a sub-form, which only affects what that particular sub-form displays. It did not cause the parent form to change. Seems that if I desire to filter what the parent form displays, then I need to filter on the parent form. I could filter on the sub-form key rather than on the sub-form values, however. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Problems with Find in 3.4.0
I recently upgraded to LO 3.4.0 and I noticed a few days ago that the Find command no longer works the way it used to, or even at all. Find and Replace (which used to be the same window as Find, shortcut ctlF) is not ctlaltF, and ctlF does nothing except activate the toolbar for finding text, which doesn't actually do a find at all. Was this an intentional design change or just a bug in the execution? I haven't upgraded to 3.4.1 yet because a) it came out so close behind 3.4.0 and b) 3.4.2 is just a few weeks away and I think I can wait. This isn't a major problem, but it is annoying. I _had_ ctlaltF set as my system shortcut to launch Firefox Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
