Re: [libreoffice-users] Address Book Conundrum

Since an experience with a Debian derivative some years ago I *always* install the original product from the LibreOffice web site. Much as I respect and admire Debian I'm not happy with re-packaged LibreOffice products. Moving on, it is beginning to look as if my problem lies with Bookworm, or KDE: my other computers do provide the Address Book features with which I'm accustomed so further investigation is warranted. Sorry for the noise. Peter HB On 12/09/2023 06:57, Paul D. Mirowsky wrote: I confirm that Base was _always_ installed with the rest of the suite for me. Do you have LibreOffice Start Center with your installation?

In a freshly installed version of LibreOffice (7.6.0.3) it's no longer available as it requires the "base" component that is not present. It has required Base also in the past, but many people didn't recognize this. You connect from Writer thruogh Base to Calc. Why isn't Base available for your installation. I never git an installation without Base component (OpenSUSE 64bit rpm Linux here).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Bump -> Rotated text on Line object?
Hi "bunk3m", do not use an ordinary line but a straight connector. Kind regards, Regina bunk3m schrieb am 12.09.2023 um 14:29: Hello all, As my message appears to have become lost, I am asking again. I need some help figuring out how to format text on a line. Is it possible to have text horizontal while the line drawn is at an angle? If yes, how? More details below. Using LO 7.6 Draw on Mac.

When you double click the arrow line you can add text to the arrow line object. This is great however the text for the line object ends up aligned ALONG the line. So if the line is at 45 deg, the text is at 45 deg. To make the text easier to read the text, I'd like the text to be at aligned in the reading direction ie. horizontal Something like my line art diagram below / / text / / / Is this is even possible?
