Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen
I've used both the zoom & the print previews; how can I stay in these views and edit??? when I begin to edit, it switches to the regular mode. It sure would save a few steps if I could edit in the preview mode ;-) On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 4:08 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) > Errr, i don't think this counts but when you are editing a document you > can zoom in and out quite a lot.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen
Hi :) Errr, i don't think this counts but when you are editing a document you can zoom in and out quite a lot. I sometimes zoom out so far that i can easily see the layout of 12 pages and i think i could zoom out a lot further. It helps me arrange the whole of our company newsletter to be more attractive by making sure the layout of pcitures in amoungst the text is not identical on each page. I can move pictures around and place them roughly and then zoom in to be a bit more precise later. It's not quite the same as a print-preview. Regards from Tom :) > > From: Dr. R.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen
Although I am not writing books the feature described by CVAlkan is a very interesting one. Especially if the settings could be made on a document base, rather than general.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen
Hi :) The list of enhancement requests is not like a waiting list or a queue. It's more like a pool. People pluck out things they like the look of and have a go. Different people have different reasons for liking the look of something. Some people are looking for "Easy Hacks" while others are ready for more of a challenge and that's just 1 aspect. So, it might be a good plan to 1st post the enhancement request and then look around for work-arounds. Have you considered 'printing' to file and set the format to PDF? That might give a result that you can hang onto and look through at leisure rather than having to get through it all in one go.

[libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen
Just for the record: I'm using Writer 3.6.1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04, but I don't think either makes a difference. When using "2-up," the Print Preview screen defaults to showing the first page on the left. There is a button called "Book Preview" (just left of the (+) magnifier button) that permits the display to show the odd-numbered pages on the left, as in a printed book or other material. This is, of course, quite useful for reviewing layouts more realistically. Since that is what I'm creating, I would like to set the "Book Preview" as the default for the "Print Preview" display (yes, I acknowledge my laziness, but isn't the fact that I use a word processor instead of a typewriter sufficient proof of that?); it would be even cooler if that display choice could be set on a per-document basis as well, but I don't want to be too greedy. I've searched around, but haven't run across anything that would allow me to do that. Does anyone know if such a setting exists and, if so, how to set it? Otherwise, I guess I'll just toss it in at the bottom of the massive list of requested enhancements.
