Try this CNET link:

In my experience, installing it to Windows normally makes it available 
to LO as well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying Pasting in Libre Writer

[Steve Edmonds]

Another option is to place the cursor at the beginning of the text to
copy (may be select the first word with the mouse) and then shift-click
at the end so you don't copy all the other stuff in the page.
Some times it also works better starting from the end of the text and
shift-click at the beginning.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Splitting columns in Calc

[Michael H]

A solution using the REGEX function can be viewed here:

(Flat OpenDocument Spreadsheet format:)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13NsidjowVUqKWaUgsU-qL4gFQaP1BENg

On my computer, Google Chrome shows you the source code for the file.. you
need to save that link as an ".fods" file, then it will open in Calc.

(LibreOffice Calc Format:)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kAwo38wZzWXd11W8biVV13kSY8sCnNVX

On my computer, Google Chrome wants to open this file with Google Sheets.
But Sheets doesn't understand REGEX.  Download it as an .ODS and it should
open.
__

First name for cell A1
=REGEX(A1,"(.+) ([^ ]+$)","$1")
(returns all but the last word, unless you have trailing spaces.)
Last name for cell A1
==REGEX(A1,"(.+) ([^ ]+$)","$2")
(returns the last word, unless you have trailing spaces.)

For that particular website, you may need to use another method to 
select what you want to copy from the website, such as using the 
left-mouse button to  drag the cursor across the content to select it.  
I often find that I get better results copying parts of the webpage at a 
time, skipping objects that I don't really want.

[libreoffice-users] Add Font to Writer

[charles meyer]

Hi All,

A friend has shared a certain font in TIFF and I've downloaded the specific
font as a .exe file.

In Windows 10 or Libre Writer, how does one "install" a certain font so I
can use it in Writer?

Thank you.

Note that the family name may not always be the last word. There are
various cultures where the family name comes at a different position in
the order, and even in English culture the family name may consist of
more than one word.
