[libreoffice-users] Question about testing changes made to MS Word documents
How-dee! I have a question about testing changes made to MS Word documents. Someone sent me a Word DOCX file that needed to be updated and I managed to update it in LibreOffice Writer 7.1.5.2 on Ubuntu 21.04 Linux. I wanted to test the saved file by loading it in MS Word. Since I don't have access to MS Office, I uploaded it to Word online using my Hotmail account. The document loaded but when I went to print it, the generated PDF was pretty much trashed. So, what's a good/reliable way to test changes saved in DOCX format in Writer? Is using Word online, as I did, akin to loading it in MS Word 2016? I believe the document was last edited in MS Word 2016 before it was sent to me. Thanks in advance! Peace...

First, use a font manager to look through the characters in your font and jot down the Unicode numbers for the special characters you want to use. Anywhere, in any application, you can enter the character with Ctrl-Shift-u, plus the Unicode number, followed by a space. That is a bit time consuming, so an easier way is to enable the Alt-key combinations. These are part of your desktop environment, so implementing them varies according to which desktop you use. On my Xfce desktop I set it to use the Windows key (which is otherwise useless). To type an á I just hold down the Windows key while I type a single apostrophe, followed by a regular a, and then the á appears. The Alt-key combinations can't be used for some special characters, so then I use the Unicode number. In LO you can use the Insert Special Character menu which pops up a window displaying all the characters in the font you are using. You can select as many as you want and then paste them into your text. I usually do this when I want to type several words in small caps using the true small caps in my favorite font rather than let LO scale down real caps, which makes them look washed out. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
