You can right click the columns tab to see column spacing. You can right click> row to see/set row height.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: How to know the X, Y coordinates of an object on the page?
Hi :)
It's the "Getting Started" Guide that has a chapter about Macros, chapter 13
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice
I think that's the one you meant.
Also Andrew Pitonyak's guide listed in the 3rd party guides is excellent
apparently
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Programmers
It's the last guide in that list.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Wow, thanks Fernand. I must admit that I don't even know where to
begin with macros and I will have to do some reading before I get very
far with this. The official Writer Guide does not have any real
information on macros, but with your example code I should be able to
google my way around.
Thank you very much!
For the archives, that is for my future self next time I get stuck
with this: I simply increased the page zoom to a few hundred percent
and then looked at where on the ruler fell the cell border in
question. It was at 5.6 units, which makes sense as it represents the
fold of the page, which is itself just a tad over 11 units tall.

I opened the Styles window with F11 and sure enough this page has the "No Footer" page style. There seem to be some real bugs in assigning page styles, sometimes assigning one style to a page changes how the other pages are styled.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Adding a footer to a page
I ended up with a similar problem. What was happening was that somehow my first page got defined as a cover page and so it wouldn't show the footer.. and then after that pages for split into sections some of which would show the footer some of which wouldn't.. turned out to be a big mess. Have you considered redoing the document.. it is just three pages as you say.

OK, then we use the table and some basic macro code

oDocument = ThisComponent
oVCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.getViewCursor()
oText = oDocument.getText()
oFrame = oDocument.CurrentController.Frame

now the Viewcursor is in the top left cell of the table
do xray on oVcursor to find the rest

Hi Fernand. I am working with an existing document. If I go wrapping
objects in frames their position with change and I won't know where it
was. That is also making the document much more complex. Furthermore,
I don't need to know where the upper left corner of the object is, I
need to know where a specific table border is so that I can line it up
again on the page after I alter the table.

Re: [libreoffice-users] More crashes
Hi :) I think i would post the bug-report anyway and just add a line to say which distro you are using. t might be a good idea to post a bug-report in your distros bug-report system at the same time and give the url address of each bug-report in the other so that people can click from one to the other.

[libreoffice-users] Writer: How to know the X, Y coordinates of an object on the page?
I have a particular document with a table which has a border around the cells. One strategic cell border has been removed, to align with the location of the fold when carefully folding a sheet of A4 paper. I now must edit the top of this document and I fear that I will not be able to line up the missing cell properly afterwards. I have no printer here to perform experiments with. Is there some way that I might measure the X, Y coordinates of the critical table border so that I can ensure that the correct cell border is removed after making changes to the table and to the top of the page? LibreOffice 3.5, Kubuntu Linux.

But it is equally applicable to the freeware viewers (which are effectively cut-down versions of components of Office 2003) and enables the viewers, as similarly modified, to open, display, and print documents in the newer formats too.

One particular problem is that trying to copy-and-paste from a master document containing 8 sub-documents into a new document causes instant crashing. And some other spurious files seem to provoke regular crashes. So my questions are: 1. Any suggested work-arounds for the master document problem? 2. Is it worth my while getting a debug output for these other crashes? And where should I report it if I do?
