[libreoffice-users] Mode Default for Insert Media Into Writer

[Joe Conner]

Using insert-> image-> scan-> select source-> scan mode-> mode the 
default is lineart.
How do I change the default to gray or color? Selecting color or gray 
works for one cycle only. There is no "Save" button. I am using 
LibreOffice 5.2.3.3 on Ubuntu 16.10 64 bit.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with extra space at bottom of pages.

[Alan B]

Hello Leam,

I suggest try the following...

Open your document then...
Ctrl+A

This will select *everything* in the document

Then right-click to bring up the context menu

Click on the "Paragraph..." option

In the dialog box that appears click the "Text Flow" tab

At the bottom of this tab in the "Options" tic "Do not split paragraph". If
this is not available clear the tics in "Orphan control" and "Window
control". Once that's done it should be possible to tic "Do not split
paragraph".

Now go back through your document with "View > Non-printing characters"
enabled. Delete all the extra paragraphs you've inserted to cause your
paragraphs to display in their entirety on one page.

With "Do not spit paragraph" enabled your paragraphs will not split across
pages.

[libreoffice-users] Help with extra space at bottom of pages.

[Leam Hall]

I have several multi-page documents that have extra space at the bottom 
of the page. Turning on the "View" -> "Non-printing characters" shows 
one or two paragraph markers and then an inch or more of extra space.


If I go to the last paragraph and hit delete twice it will generally 
draw up the paragraph from the next page. I then hit enter twice and the 
new paragraph stays on the page. Since my paragraphs are short I can do 
that a few times on each page.


This issue is that I'd rather not do that several times on each of a 
hundred or so pages. Is there anything else I can look to check? Using 
LibreOffice 5.2.1.2 on Linux.


Thanks!

Leam

RE: [libreoffice-users] Stepping through bulleted items in Presentation

[Virgil Arrington]

Thanks for all the detail. And I agree that, for specific tasks, there are 
better tools than LO. If I were typing a college report, I would probably 
prefer LaTeX. For a quick presentation, I have used Beamer and the results are 
stunning.

My problem is that if I ever need to deviate from LaTeX's default formats, I 
run into a brick wall. Like most office suites, LO is a "jack of all trades". 
No matter what I need to do, I can find a way to do it with LO even if it's not 
necessarily the " best" way.

Virgil,
I will possibly be classed as an heretic and ready to be
broken on the wheel for
writing this on an LO user list, but IHMO there are much better ways of
assembling a
slide presentation than using Libre Office.

These days, I use one of the video editors, e.g.  OpenShot, to make a
synchronised slide
program.  The audio is recorded as a continuous sound track, then the
images are dropped
in over the sound,  Perhaps it is a voice-under?

However, to answer your query, here is how I worked with LO, and it is
streets ahead of our methods
used 40 years ago, where the audio editor was a razor blade plus a roll
of quarter inch adhesive
tape.  Then, the images were 35mm slides, text slides were drawn, then
photographed, and we
prayed that the processing laboratory would not change fluids while
developing our film, thus
introducing colour shifts. On one job they did lose 2 36 shot-films from
a 30+ batch, ruining a
week's work for 2 of our team who were making a training tape/slide
program about measuring
water quality in remote lakes and rivers!

Libre Office.  The basic system allows the recording of sound for each
slide, so I did this.


1. Sketch out a story and the sequence of images. Note that the images
need to be ready in
advance and that those with text or stepped bullets should be made
and saved as separate files.

2. Draft a series of descriptions for each image. Record these as audio,
with a good space
 between each one.

3. Edit the audio track - I used Audacity here - remove any pauses
and/or hesitations and finish with
 a well spaced track.  This is then recorded as a sequence of
separate audio files, one for each
 slide. While doing this, note the time/length of audio for each
slide. Audio should be recorded
 in .wav format.  Best to leave a short silent period at the the
beginning of each file so that viewers
 may look at a slide for a few seconds before the audio sarts

4. Now put the sequence together, assemble the slides with display times
longer than the timed
 audio sequences. Then embed the relevant audio file for each
slide.  Probably the start and
 finish visual slides will not have audio.

5.  Finally, run the whole program and perhaps adjust the transition
times for each slide. I usually
  made the times a bit longer than needed, then pruned them at the end.

Awfully slow and only worth the effort, if the result is to be of
benefit to many.

Gordon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 'Accumulating' styles

[Regina Henschel]

Hi Gary,

Gary Collins schrieb:

Hi,
Is it possible to accumulate character styles? By which i mean, i have, eg a 
char style for a coloured background, applied to certain text selections. I 
have another char style for small caps, applied to  certain words in the text. 
Now if one of those words also occurs in one of the coloured background 
sections, is it possible to apply the small caps style without losing the 
coloured background style that is already there? Or is it necessary to create a 
unique style for each possible combination of features that may be required in 
a text?


The file format ODF allows nesting of  elements. Each such 
 element applies a style to a portion of text. And if an 
inner element has no own rule for a property, then it takes the rule 
from the outer element.


If LibreOffice gets such file, it will be rendered correctly. But 
unfortunately LibreOffice itself will not create such files, at least I 
was not able to do it with the current UI.


Combining a character style with a direct formatting works in the UI.

Kind regards
Regina
