The page style for the first page would not have any headers. Then the page style for the subsequent pages would have a header. You can then format the lines (paragraphs) within the header to any left and right margin you would like. (To have margins extend beyond the normal page margin, use negative numbers in your paragraph indent settings.) To get to the page styles, make sure you're styles list is showing (press F11 if it isn't). Then, at the top of the list are icons for (from left to right) paragraph styles, character styles, frame styles, and then page styles (it looks like a sheet of paper). Click on that icon to see a list of the page styles available for your document. You can then right click on any one of them to modify them or create new ones. At this point, it would be best for you to experiment with the page styles yourself, creating new ones or modifying existing ones to get the result that you want. Take careful note of the option on the organizer tab for next style as it will show what page style will be used for the following page. Sometimes this can cause some frustration. Also, there is an option in the header tab to set left and right margins. It may not allow negative margin settings here (I just tried it and it ignored me), so you may need to set negative margins at the paragraph indent level rather than the header margin level. It's all about learning to use styles, paragraph styles for paragraph level formatting and page styles for page level formatting. It's a pain to learn, and while you're learning you want to cuss out the LO developers, but once you learn it, you'll bless them as you'll be able to make your documents sing. The only way I know to learn is to experiment and play with them, creating your own styles along the way. I know its frustrating when all you want to do is finish the current project, but the more you learn now, the more you'll be able to apply to future projects to make your work so much quicker, automated, and consistent. It really is worth the effort. What I find most interesting is the dark ages style of formatting papers that you've been handed, with paragraph indents measured in spaces and lines in terms of single double and triple spacing. Is this an Underwood we're using or a computer? As long as we remain entrenched in a typewriter mentality (even though many of us have never typed a single letter on a typewriter), we will never learn the advanced capabilities of our computers, which act more like printing presses than typewriters.

[libreoffice-users] English speakers in translators team
Hi :) It might sound contra-intuitive but it might really help if a few native English speakers could join the international translators team. Preferably English (US) but even my (GB) seems to have been a big help. Even people that don't speak any other language other than English could help quite a lot. Quite a lot of the internal descriptions were written by non-natives and/or geeks so the international translators team is now trying to proof-read the English and smooth-out oddly convoluted or nonsensical or even just things that look right but somehow feel wrong (or the other way around). Their list uses English for posting to the list so you really don't need a 2nd language in order to be a huge help there. Actually the same thing probably applies to other languages too. If you only speak one language then you could still probably help a lot. It's just that almost all translations seem to be done from the English so it's more crucial to get that one right or at least easier to read. Err there was the old joke about Q1: What do you call a person that can speak lots of languages? A1: Multilingual (or Polyglot of course) Q2: What do you call someone that can only speak 1 language? A2: English (or Japanese too apparently, as a Japanese buddy was telling me (in English)) Anyway, this is one time that even if that is true you can still help the translators team.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.0.3.3: 'Insert: Horizontal rule' is missing
Hi :) 2 things 1. Documentation is always playing catch up 2. I think a bug report has been filed to try to get the feature put back into the next release (or a subsequent one if it doesn't make it back in so quickly) Stuart was saying that if you type 3 - or ~ or (errr i can't remember the other character) then it creates the whole rest of the line for you. Much the same happens in emails i think although you might have to use more than 3. So on an empty line in Writer try --- ~~~ e. when you press enter after typing --- a single line appears. Pressing it after the ~~~ makes a double-line. However, i have to say that getting a line from the draw menu was inspired. LibreOffice is designed for you to create things in one of the apps/modules and then pull them into one of the other ones. So you could make something fancy in Draw and then use that in Writer. If opening Writer takes ages but after it's open you open a Draw document you will notice the Draw one appears really quite fast. LO is much more tightly integrated like that than MSO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: any word about 4.0.4 portable coming out?
Hi :) Ahah. Yes, it is not in the Ubuntu-ised versions and probably not on the direct upstream download for any GnuLinux. It's only on the Windows version. Most programs seem to have their update thing in their Help menu so it would be good to have there too but i quite like it being so 'noticeable' [coughs]. Even if it's a bit ambiguous and then doesn't quite do what you would expect when you do figure it out. There is no reason i know of to have the feature in just one place as different places could point to the same actions. That is interesting to hear about the different icon styles.

And the associated text handling for the paragraph style don't seem correct--but that could just be misuse on my part.

Right-click in the paragraph and select Paragraph... or Edit Paragraph Style... as preferred. Go to the Borders tab and select a style and position for a border - above or below the paragraph. Again, the paragraph itself could be empty. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Re: styles for plays?
On 6/26/13 7:46 AM, Helen wrote: I've volunteered to edit a one-time publication of a collection of plays. The plays came to me in different styles -- three of the plays came to me with all the characters's speaking lines centered -- the characters's names centered a line above. Some of the writers seem to have centered the names with a centering code -- I can highlight the name and use the left margin code to move the name to left margin. Others seem to have centered by spacing over! (yes) and I have to backspace until I get the name to the left margin. None used a colon after the speaker, and the publisher wants it. I've made some progress with Search Replace -- Search for all incidents of TOM and replace with TOM colon space. But the most tedious part is moving TOM from center to left and bring his speaking lines up to begin on the same line. Is there any way I can put these plays into a style sheet and save this work, or would creating the style sheet take as long as what I'm doing? I've never used styles. And this is a one-time job so if I have to do it all by hand, at least it's only once. Thanks for any advice, Hi, Helen, I thought for some time about posting this, but I'm getting into the mindset of looking for the best tool for a job, and offering the best suggestion I have for solutions. Just not going to worry about irritating anyone anymore. Since this is a one time thing, there's a program out there for scriptwriters and such, called Scrivener. It has a 30 day trial period. It is certainly different, you may find it somewhat confusing to pick up. It's not meant to replace a traditional word processor, it's more of a specialized document processor, but it may do the job. I'm doing some research to correct errors in an interpretive presentation I do daily at work, and I couldn't be happier with the ability to store all your research notes in one place. This is a specialty tool, and I still have the current LO installed. If your project is fairly large, it may be worth your time to take a quick look. If you want to know more offline, since this isn't a Scrivener help list, feel free to contact me. The email address is valid. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.4 Firefox 20.0 Thunderbird 17.0.5 LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] Nabble or smth like that
Hi :) To use Nabble you do still need to be subscribed to the list, unless you don't want to be able to post to it. There are different options for how you subscribe though. There is one called nomail although i am not certain it works the way one would expect. So, it might be better to use the Digest method to resubscribe.
