Re: [libreoffice-users] Would somebody be able to help a newbe to LibreOffice.
Hi :) Ta'da!! I think Bill was asking how to keep a few rows in the middle of the spreadsheet frozen with areas above and below that could be scrolled through? if so then i don't think it's possible even in Gnumeric let alone Calc or Excel. It is possible to freeze everywhere above and to the left of a chosen point though and that's what people have given. It is also possible to use Window - Split but again you only get 2 areas rather than 3. This way allows both the top and the bottom areas to be scrollable though. i think the Window - Freeze is best for what you seem to want. There is an extra wrinkle which is that you can scroll all the way down, before applying the freeze, so that the only rows visible on-screen are 35 and below. Then do the freeze by placing the cursor in row 41 (probably B41 so that the A column will also be frozen) and then choose Window - Freeze Of course this last way you would never be able to see anything above row 35 until you unfrozen the window but that is very trivial for people to do.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Would somebody be able to help a newbe to LibreOffice.
** Reply to message from John Meyer on Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:29:14 -0700 To be more specific: If you only want to keep the column labels visible, put the cursor in the far left column (before column A) on row 2 then go to the Window menu item and select freeze. All column headers in row 1 will stay visible as you scroll everything below them. If you don't go to the far left column it will still work, but make a darker line to the left of the column that you selected. I don't know any way to keep just one or several columns frozen and scroll the others.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Would somebody be able to help a newbe to LibreOffice.
HI, Place your cursor in cell (A41) On the menu bar click [Window] then [Freeze] This will freeze all rows above where you have the cursor placed. If you put the cursor in cell (C41) as well as freezing all rows above 41 you would also freeze all columns before C. That is columns A and B would also be frozen. If you already have a freeze point set you will need to clear it before setting a new point. Hope this helps.

What formula would I use and where would I put that? Formulae are used for calculations; you don't use a formula for display functions such as this. o Scroll down in the document until row 35 is the top row visible. o Click in the row headers at the left to select row 41 - the one *below* the rows you wish to freeze. Alternatively, you can just click in cell A41 (but not in any of the other cells in row 41). o Go to Window | Freeze. When you need to get back to viewing the first 34 rows, go to Window | Freeze again. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Would somebody be able to help a newbe to LibreOffice.
Hi :) Yes. You are on it. We are here. Prolly best to start with some combination of video guides, published guides and our Faq. Videos from the "Spoken Tutorials" http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Writer&language=English That is specifically for Writer but that is usually a good way to get started. Note those are produced by a 3rd party and in a variety of human languages. They also do guides for many other OpenSource products so if you go slightly off-track you might find yourself producing movies instead with Blender or something. http://www.spoken-tutorial.org Published guides, which you can also buy as paper-backs but here is the free-link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications somewhere at the bottom of most of them is the link to the bookstore. Best to start with Chapter 3 of their "Getting Started Guide" The Faq for obvious quick questions is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq although it is still being translated from the French. Most sections are done. Currently focussing on translating the Calc one from French. People are welcome to join in with that or pick one of the other sections. Base, Writer and the general one are done but i'm not sure about the others. Generally i would encourage people to ask questions on this list first and then start hunting for the answers. if you find the answer before we do then just post (perhaps copy&paste) the answer back to this list to let us know. There are other mailing lists, forums and an "Ask LO 'bot' " but now you are here you have already reached the best one (i might be biased there!) Mostly LO is almost exactly like MS Office but it's worth getting into "Styles" asap to get the biggest boost in productivity and quality. Styles in MS Office is a painful thing that has to be fought against in order to stop it flicking between different ones inappropriately but in LibreOfice/OpenOffice it does the reverse and just smooths things out making it easier to import unformatted text and quickly bring that into the same look&feel as the rest of the document. So, welcome in!
