We could have them listed alphabetically so if

search it by task name - e.g. from Auto-correct to Word Count.
Or we could have the alphabetical list built into
the software itself. Oh, look: someone already
has done that - it's called Help.
Inserting Page Numbers of Continuation Pages
You can easily insert the page number of the
next page in a footer by using a field. The
page number is only displayed if the following page exists.
This is a rather obscure requirement. It would
be weird to have a book with notices at the
bottom of each page such that page 1 had
continued on page 2 and so on and on! Better
to expect readers to learn how to operate a book
before using it. (I gather youngsters can now be
seen wiping their finger lightly across the recto
in a real book, expecting that to turn the page as it would in an e-book!)
I have no idea how many users are subscribed
this list but lets just say arguendo there are
10. If each of us 10 users contributed just 5
tasks they performed regularly in LW (and how
those tasks are accomplished) then we would have 50 tasks.
That's very unlikely. It would happen only if
you collaborated carefully to avoid duplication.
I'm still searching for the solutions to these
tasks which we can then add to this Quick Guide:
1. Keep a dotted line across a page without it
automatically becoming a solid line
See my earlier answer (of 21 November).
2. Suppressing hyperlinks
See my earlier answer (of 21 November).
3. Turn on/off Fast Save
I'm not sure we know what you mean by
this. That's clear from the attempts at an answer you have been given.
4. Turn on/off the Track Changes tool
See my earlier answer (of 21 November).
5. Print file list of file names in a sub-directory ...
See my earlier answer (of 21 November). First,
this is a task for your operating system, not for
an office suite. Second, how you do it depends
on what operating system you are using.
Eliminating hard returns
See my earlier answer (of 21 November). This
depends on exactly what you want to do - which is
not clear. Do you mean that you want to combine
paragraphs into a single paragraph? Search for
$ and replace with nothing (or a blank or
whatever you want - you don't make that clear
either) in Find Replace, with Regular expressions selected.
Is there a way to change indents without resorting a specific style?
Yes, indents are a paragraph property as well as
a paragraph style property. But styles are a Good Idea.
Maybe you just want to make certain indents for
that document and not keep it for other documents?
That shows a misunderstanding. Unless you
specifically load styles from one document or
template to another, and changes you make to
styles or new styles you create apply only to the current document.
I'm concerned abut the situation where, for
whatever reason, you have hard returns in a
document and you wish to remove them - maybe
with a résumé where you want a soft return instead?
Do you mean you want line breaks instead of
paragraph breaks, or something else? (There is
nothing specific about a résumé that would require this, is there?)
Line spacing - you can right click on any line
or paragraph and choose Line Spacing but you're
limited to single, 1.5 or double. What if you
want to set your line spacing to something other than those 3 choices?
Line spacing is a paragraph property as well as a
paragraph style property. Look in whichever of
those places you require and you will see many, more flexible arrangements.
Incidentally, asking questions in this way is not
the best way to learn how to use a word processor
(or other software). As you will have seen, few
people are willing to set about one-to-one
teaching of topics that you can easily look
up. You should get used to using the embedded
Help facility and obtain and peruse the Writer
Guide. (Oh look: I said that on 21 November,
too!) You may also want to look for local courses on the subject.
I trust this helps.
