Just to be clear: do you want to insert a new indent, or a new
footnote? Has your document been generated with LibreOffice, or is it
some import (say, from MS)?

Click into one of your properly behaving footnotes and hit F11: which
paragraph style is highlighted? 

How do you want your footnotes to look like? Where do you want your 
indent?
indent before the footnote-number? 
indent after the footnote-number?
should it indent multiple lines or just the first line (like a tab)?

I have no idea how it happened to jump in my "View". I guess I played
around (via menu "View"/toolbars/customise/Menus/Menu "View" -> [Add])
and added it out of curiosity :)

In the same way (playing around) I found the feature of customising
colours, like fields etc (as I mentioned above). An other very helpful
feature btw. that I use extensively is adding background colours to
styles (which I remove of course when the text is ready for print):
Navigator (F5)/ right-click style in question: modify / Area). Ok, my
text looks motley, but in this way I find quickly which styles haven't
been applied properly (by me *blush*).

Ah, I see what you mean. When I uncheck "hide whitespace" in menu
"View" (I usually keep it checked), I see that line indeed. You can
even choose the colour of the line via menu/Tools/Options/Libre
Office/ Application Colours/Text Document: Page and column breaks (may 
be it should rather read "_Manual_ page and column breaks"?).

Thank you for the tip :)

I don't know a way to make them visible, but there is a quite helpful
extension that I use for such cases:

http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer/releases/1.4.1

Good luck!

Win 7 64bit here. Yes, I find an executable sbase.exe, and I can start
it as such. I haven't installed LibreOffice in the default directory,
though.

That is what I would do: uninstall LibreOffice (the whole shebang),
download the newest version from the official (!) site, reinstall it
and see what happens.

Good luck!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Numbering and levels

2014-10-13 Thread Annette
Hello Raf,

what you want to do is probably best done with the help of styles. I
am not into headings atm, but I can strongly recommend the nicely
written documentation for LibreWriter:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide

Chapter 6 and 7 introduce us into the wonder of styles and headings,
and the Rafnewsian style (1.,1.1,1.2) is mentioned as well.

Good luck :)

[libreoffice-users] Writer: How to clear fields off data in template?

2014-10-13 Thread Annette
Dear libreofficials,

first of all thank you for that wonderful program!

My question concerns fields for serial printing. Accidently I managed
to save an .ott file with a data-record written into the fields.
Please don't ask me how :)

I still can choose different records via the data source [F4], so no
harm is done. Yet on starting the template I would like to see the
virgin fields instead of that stubborn record. When I hit [CTRL+F9]
the field names are shown, btw.

I have tried to overwrite the fields in question with a back-up copy
of the culprit .ott-file, but lo! that record pops up again! I feel -
haunted!
