Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: cannot select multiple words in impress
Hi :) You can post a feature request asking for this functionality to be added to Impress. To do so i think you post it as a bug report but then one of the drop-down menus or something should be able to mark it as a feature request. I think quite a lot of us didn't know this functionality already existed in Writer so it has been a useful thread for me. Thanks! ^_^ Many regards from Tom :) On 25 May 2015 at 02:00, Sang-Hyun LEE sanghyuun...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for your clear describing my question.

I often use the arrow keys to move objects in both Impress and word. I use the mouse to move it to the general area I want the object then refine using the arrow. What I have learned for experimentation is that using the arrow keys alone moves the object a medium amount. When used with the SHIFT key it moves farther. Used with the ALT key moves the object move a tiny amount. In Write, it is also important to select the correct anchor and word wrap options as both the text and object behave differently depending on those settings. Good luck. Hope it helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: cannot select multiple words in impress
Hi :) Fairly soon after getting an image into a document maybe right-click on it and change it's Anchor type from to paragraph to something else, such as to page. Then when you edit the text it might stay put or at least move in a way that makes sense. So, right-click on image before editing text. Select Anchor and in the sub-menu choose to page.

[libreoffice-users] Re: cannot select multiple words in impress
As I worried, my words are insufficient to describe my second problem. I will say the problem in other words. If, assume there's some words/sentences in contents area. and there's one figure, too. after editing contents in contents area, I'd like to resize the figure. So, I intended just to select the figure, to resize it. But, the figure is not only selected but also moved to another position because the mouse is moved while I select the figure. It's my fault that I should not move the mouse while selecting the figure. I should, first, position the mouse at the figure to select. and click then release the button with caution not to move the mouse. Sometimes, especially when the Impress is not a active window, the contents area is moved another position. Anyway, this is annoying to me. I think this requires too much concern to users. If unselected object ignores drag-and-drop motion which is used to move object, this could be avoided. I'm not sure which is better. To move a object, requiring a-priori selection could be annoying to someone. In my opinion, this is worth of consideration. I'm curious, is there something I missed?

It's difficult to know exactly what you are doing without being there to watch. But I have to say that I do not find selecting an item in a presentation problematic in this way. I'm wondering whether your problem is related to the way your mouse is configured generally rather than something within LibreOffice. My mouse driver, for example, provides a facility called ClickLock, which [e]nables you to highlight or drag without holding down the mouse button. With that facility selected, I think you would see something like what you describe. Is it possible that you have this or something similar enabled? If so, you will probably find the setting for this in OSX's System Preferences, not in LibreOffice itself. If you disable any such facility, perhaps your mouse will behave as you prefer. Anyway, this is annoying to me. I think this requires too much concern to users. If unselected object ignores drag-and-drop motion which is used to move object, this could be avoided. But your intended click surely selects the object - so it isn't an unselected object at the time you are considering. There may be a workaround. If you select an item and drag it, you have performed two processes. If you now use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z), you can undo the movement - returning the item to its original position - whilst leaving the item selected. If it happens that you managed *not* to drag the item, using Undo will undo some other change instead - which action you will not want, of course. You could choose always to click and drag slightly, so that Undo would always serve your purpose. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Re: cannot select multiple words in impress
thank you for your answer. I think that it's the wight behaviour in LOImpress that click-and-drag moves object/figure, no matter whether it's already selected or not. It's same in LOImpress in Windows. I occasionally encounter this happening which requires Undo (Command+Z), as you said. I sometimes feel that it would be better if unselected objects cannot be moved like resizing or cropping. I'm not sure whether it would be better or worse to others. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/cannot-select-multiple-words-in-impress-tp4149230p4149435.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: cannot select multiple words in impress
I think others answered the question about selecting multiple words. You also asked about selecting objects. When you click on something, Impress selects the object on top. If you have a picture behind a text box and you want to move the picture, first you have to move the text box to the back then select the picture. To edit the text again, you have to move the picture to the back. Good luck.
