Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: insufficient user rights if I change the filename
Hi :) It's very weird that it allows one specific file-name but not others. Perhaps the particular file-name that is NOT working is the name of a protected file in that folder?

[libreoffice-users] Forcing a paragraph onto odd numbered pages
Hi, I can't seem to see how to get a paragraph (or page) to only be on odd (or even) pages i.e each chapter should start on an odd page, if the page is even, it needs to insert a page break before the style starts so it becomes an odd numbered page. Is this impossible or am I just missing something obvious? Nb This needs to be automatic so that if the number of pages change, I don't have to remember to go through checking what page the chapters are all starting on.

The first will always result in a Left page creating a blank page in front of it if necessary. Similarly, the second will always result in a right page creating a blank page if necessary. What Rob has done is to create a new page style, chapter_first_page, from the Left Page style. To do this, Right click on Left Page style and select New from the context menu. Name the new page style and add any other properties you want the style to have (header, footer, etc.). Also select what page style you want to use following the chapter_first_page style. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

Am I just missing a check box somewhere? I created my own page styles. As is pointed out by Dan, there is already a Left and Right page style directly, so you can just use that, but I fear that it does NOT do what you want. For example, Use F11 to toggle the Styles and Formatting pane open and close. When it is open. Click on the Page styles icon along the top of the pane. Right click on the Left page style and choose Modify. Now, select the Organizer tab. This shows you that the next page style is Left. This means that when a page formatted with the Left page style is finished, the next page style that is used is Left. Sadly, this means that you will have one left page after another. If you click on the Page tab and look in the lower left corner you will see that this page style is ONLY usable on left pages. So, you can do something like this With all those other dialogs closed, right click on the Default page style (it is named Default) and select New. On the organizer tab, change the name to something like first_page_in_chapter. For the Next style, set it to Default. That means that the second page in the chapter will use the Default style. Select the Page tab and set the Page Layout to be Left page. There, you can save it and use it. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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] Default style list
Most of the time when I create a new document I want to set the Title style on the first line/paragraph. So, I go to the little dropdown box at the top on the left, where common styles are selected (what I'm calling the default style selection list - for lack of a better known alternative) and Title is not there. So, I click on more This brings up the Styles Formatting dialog with 20 (Paragraph) styles listed. None of them are Title. From there, I have a choice, I can click on the drop down menu at the bottom of that dialog followed by clicking on hierarchical, head down to Headings and choose Title underneath. My other option is to click on one of the icons at the top of the Styles Formatting dialog and then click back to the Paragraph icon, at which point it displays an extended list of styles, perhaps 100... and if I scroll down that list nearly to the bottom Title is listed and I can select it. Once I select Title it gets added to the first dropdown box I mentioned (top left) and from then on for the life of that session I can select Title from that drop down box. Whenever I open a new document, I have to start that process all over again. Considering that I pretty much always use Title, I'd like to know if there's a way to make it stay in that dropdown box between sessions (i.e. forever). Thank you in advance.

LO 3.5.5.3 I think your subject points to what you want: the term Default. You need a default template with the styles you use regularly. What you need to do is to create a Writer document with the styles that you want to use. You will need to use an empty line for each paragraph style you want and apply a style on each line. You also need to look at Tools Options LibreOffice Paths. There Templates has two paths listed separated by a semi-colon. The latter is the path where you want to save your document as a template. Then save the document as a template using the second template path. (*.ott This is one of the formats available when saving a file.) File Templates Organize Templates. Double click the My Templates folder to open it. Your template should appear under My Templates folder. If not, right click My Templates and select, Import Templates. Browse to where you saved your template, and select it. Now it should be visible. Now, right click your template. Select Set as Default. Close LO. Any time you open Writer, you will be using the template you have just created. Title will be available all the time. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] insufficient user rights if I change the filename

Save in any application will save the revised document over the existing file - in the same folder. If the document has not been saved, Save will give you the Save As functionality instead, landing you initially in whatever default folder you have configured (or some default if you haven't). What you may be doing is opening attachments from received e-mail messages. Such a document will not so far have been saved by you on your system, so it may indeed be held in some difficult-to-find temporary folder and Save will save your carefully edited version in a folder which will be confusing and hard to find. But the solution is simple, of course: you should save the document where you want it to reside before you start editing. Then Save will do exactly what you need and expect. I think this same un-findable folder is used for saving when the program auto-saves; ... No: that will be a different place! The first folder is governed by your e-mail application, but this one by LibreOffice. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Forcing a paragraph onto odd numbered pages

Is it worth mentioning that this is the opposite of the usual convention? In left-to-right languages, if any convention is followed, it is that chapters are made to start on a recto - a right-hand, odd-numbered page.
