[libreoffice-users] shrink size and font size of styles sidebar
Sorry for the top post... Use Tools -> Options -> Advanced "Open Expert Configuration" Search for "minimumwidth" Click the "Edit" button to directly toggle 'MinimumWidth' boolean value from "true" to "false" OK out to apply. The Sidebar Deck can now be dragged as narrow as needed before it will collapse to show just the deck TAB Bar =-=-= Fri, 3 Mar 2023 16:26:09 -0500 How do I shrink the styles sidebar? Zoom works lovely on the main window--I used "optimal" most of the time, but that doesn't help if I can't shrink the styles sidebar. I can drag to make it bigger but not to make it smaller than a certain size. And I can't find anywhere to change the font size. So, for example, if I need to shrink the entire Writer window down to share screen space I end up with the styles sidebar taking up half the window with large type even when the main doc window type is so small it's hardly readable. There must be some way to do this. I just can't find it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] IBM Line Drawing Font
'Extended ASCII' Included things like accented vowels . ANSI aka Windows Code Page 1251 included box drawing characters that were used pretty widely in the USA pre-windows on DOS. Most of the Windows Box drawing glyphs are now in the Unicode Box Drawing U+2500 - U+2550. [image: Screenshot from 2023-03-03 16-49-13.png] However, Accessing these unicode glyphs don't have equivalent means to render them like in the DOS days. You can't spell them out then convert them to drawing, nor can you use Alt- or Alt-shift alphabet keys to access them like in the DOS era. You'll have to find an 'ascii draw' app that has them in its palette. I don't have windows installed, but I see Arial has the unicode box drawing glyphs. as does Deja Vu Monospace. So if you have Arial monospace or find Deja Vu Monospace, either will have the box drawing set , and they will align like monospace fonts. I just don't know a program to suggest that will allow you to access these glyphs like you could in Wordstar for DOS.

Re: [libreoffice-users] IBM Line Drawing Font
Hi John; I think what you are referring to used to be called the ASCII Extended Character Set. This included characters that could be used to draw boxes and things on a screen or page. You can find a listing of the codes here: https://theasciicode.com.ar/ You could also find it in the MS Gothic font (if you are running Windows). The characters are often towards the upper limit of the font codes. Hope this helps. Carter Hi John, John R. Sowden schrieb am 03.03.2023 um 21:23: What is the name and location of a monospace font that includes the IBM line drawing set. What is a "IBM line drawing set"? If that are some proprietary glyphs, you should not use them. Reader, who do not have the font, will not be able to read you document. Instead look at the Unicode charts, whether such symbols are included in Unicode and then look for a font, which covers that range. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character Do you look for such characters? If yes then "DejaVu Sans Mono" will likely work for you. I used it a lot for forms in WordStar/DOS and I want to continue in LibreOffice. If it is so old, then it is likely a bitmap font and LibreOffice cannot use it. How do I install it? That is outside of LibreOffice. Installing a font is done on level of your operating system. On Windows you will find "Install" in the context menu of the font file, for example.

[libreoffice-users] Opening new file from same path as current open document
I am using LibreOffice 7.3.5.2 on Windows 11. I often have several LO files open at once. I may have a Calc spreadsheet open, an Impress slide presentation, and one or more Writer documents, all open at the same time as I bounce back and forth between files. I find that, when I click to open another file, the “open file dialog” defaults to the path of the most recent file I opened, even if I am no longer working on that file and may have closed it. What I would prefer is to have the “open file dialog” default to the path of the LO document that is in the active window on which I am currently working. Is there any way to accomplish this?
