AW: [libreoffice-users] Labels and Business Cards: where are user definitions stored?
Hi Perhaps this will help you? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DevGuide https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DevGuide/Configuration_Management I am also looking for a way to deploy configuration with xml files for a lot of users.

Thank you. Once again you read the lengthy question carefully and reply precisely on point; that is a gift. I found your pointer to the people.freedesktop.org documentation on the registry, and much other good background. It is somewhat reassuring that these definitions are also regarded as a kind of template, even if not managed under the Templates manager. I had noticed registrymodifications.xcu when I made labels changes, but then discounted it, because it is rewritten every time LO closes. OTOH, pack\registrymodifications.pack always changes with labels definition changes, but not every time LO is used, so I thought registrymodifications.pack must be where the labels definitions are stored. Documentation on that relationship seems less available. This will obviously require study, and now I can see a couple more intermediate steps needed to get to my goal of a labels forms library. So must become yet another addition to my to-do list if I am to get anything else done today. Still, you have once again supplied the framework for that study, so I am once again in your debt.

AW: [libreoffice-users] Looking for current LibreOffice Writer tutorials
Hi Tom, Have a look here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications Greetings Susanne -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Tom Gesendet: Sonntag, 30. April 2023 04:42 An: users@global.libreoffice.org Betreff: [libreoffice-users] Looking for current LibreOffice Writer tutorials Hi! I'm helping an elderly woman start using LibreOffice Writer on a new laptop she purchased. The laptop has Windows 11 and she's not interested in paying for MS Office. She barely knows how to use a word processor, so I'm interested in finding some recent/current tutorials to help her learn the basics. She's running version 7.5.2.2. I found a basic introductory video on YouTube, but it was posted back in 2018. I found another tutorial, an "ultimate" tutorial, but it seemed focused on a task she wouldn't be doing so I think it would overwhelm her. Does anyone know of any good, recent/current tutorials a complete newbie could use? Thanks in advance! Peace...

[libreoffice-users] Question RTF Contentcontrol in Writer
Hallo , I am looking for the Rich Text content control in LibreOffice Writer Version 7.5.1.2. (Windows 11) I have two questions: [1] Propertiess of the content control: Title: it appears above the control. Tag: How can I use the tag? [2] It has the property nested and can therefore accommodate objects such as tables, graphics or other content controls. If I insert a table or image into an rtf content control, it is replaced and no longer exists. Is this intended behaviour?

[libreoffice-users] Seitenvorlagen
Hallo!, vielleicht hat jemand aus der Liste Erfahrung damit: Es geht um die Übernahme von Word Dokumenten nach Writer. Word kann ja keine Seitenvorlagen, also muss Writer improvisieren. Bei einem langen Dokument erstellt Writer 43 neue Seitenvorlagen (converted X-y), dies Dokument enthält auch viele Umbrüche, da es zischen 2 Spalten und 1 Spalte wechselt. Ich kann die Standard Seitenvorlage anpasssen, den Seiten zuweisen und converted y-y löschen, wenn diese nicht mehr verwendet werden.. Recht mühsam. Bei dem anderen Dokument wird nur eine neue Seitenvorlage erstellt- alles gut! Woran kann das mit den vielen Seitenvorlagen in Dokument 1 liegen?

Hi Steve, normally docx opened in a few seconds in LO. Try LO7.4. - there the support for DOCX is much better than in LO 7.3 Can you share the docx?
