[libreoffice-users] Question about tab order in form in Writer
Hi! I'm working on converting a 20 page document into a PDF form. I'm using the form design mode of LibreOffice Writer 7.0.3 on Windows 10 to add the various form fields. At the time I started this, I thought I had to manually set the tab order on each form field. After investing some odd behavior with tab order in forms, I learned Writer will automatically set the tab order of the form fields. I have since upgraded to LibreOffice 7.0.4. My question: is it possible to "reset" the tab order values I set manually? If not, is it possible to "undo" or remove the tab order values I set on each form field? I'm only 2 pages into my document, fortunately. :) Thanks in advance! Happy New Year! :) Peace...

I've made about 40 backup of my macros by doing the following over time. Tools / Macros / Edit Click on the panel on Right that list the macros Currently it shows 398 lines. Do a Ctrl-A to hightlight all lines, and then a Ctrl-C. Open a text editor, and paste the lines and save as libremacroxx The Module1.xba file currently has 400 lines in it. I've copied the text file to other machines, and just reversed the process of pasting the lines into the window, and they seem to transfer just fine. I also like keeping multiple copies, so I can compare them to see how I've made changes over time. Sometimes make a mistake, and having a back to be able to restore all or whatever macros.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Fit last column in spreadsheet to print
Hi Charles, Your initial question was "...see how I cna fit the last column in to print on 8/12 x 11..." which to me is equivalent to "fit all columns on a single sheet". So the answer is to set the page width of the printout to one sheet wide. Not sure what to say to your follow up, "...I have no idea what I would set the “Width in pages” to fir this spreadsheet...", because width will ALWAYS BE set to one sheet if you want the printout to fit across one sheet. If it has many rows then be sure to set the #of pages high by a number that will fit everything. If set to 100 the output won't be stretched to be 100 pages tall. And you hit on the real trick, "...with all columns across the same page and also in readable print..." Readable print depends on the number of columns and the width of the sheet. If the print isn't legible, try printing the sheet landscape. Now there's immediately 2½" more paper to scale your columns across. If the print is still too small then try landscape on a legal page or reduce the number of columns that need to be seen or both. p.s. moved back to the list. meant to reply there the first time On Mon, Jan 4, 2021 at 2:52 PM charles meyer wrote: > Hi Alan, > > > > I hope you’re enjoying a good new year. > > > > In Calc, I opened the spreadsheet and then held d own the mouse to > highlight all the columns and rows of content to print. > > > > I then selected Format > Page and the Sheet tab and selected “Fit print > range wit width/height” but I have no idea what I would set the “Width in > pages” to fir this spreadsheet both with all columns across the same page > and also in readable print. > > > > I tried this in Excel and I can either get all the columns across the page > on one page but in tiny print or I can cat the font size in readable size > but not all the columns align across the one page. > > > > Any further thoughts re: the “Width in pages” to be set to in Calc? > > > > I can’t even see how many pages this spread sheet is on as unlike Libre > Writer or Word there is no page indicator in either Calc or Excel. > > > > Thank you. > > > > Charles. > > > > From: Alan B > Date: Tue, Dec 22, 2020 at 3:40 PM > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Fit last column in spreadsheet to print > To: charles meyer > > Charles, > > > > Both LibreOffice Calc and Microsoft Excel include a print feature to scale > the print range by width and height.
