Re: [users] really slow graphics in Impress module (posted again with attachment)

I found really annoying how slow the new Impress module is. Also I saw a really high CPU load, although my computer is not old (3 years Intel Core Duo with Suse Linux 10.2 installed). On older computers it will be unusable. If e.g. I click into a text of a page, then a box will appear around the text (in my case this is about as large as the page itself). If I e.g. try to move the text window on the page, it is extremely slow. My suspicion: I use a second monitor, so there is no GLX direct rendering available. The new OO might rely on fast graphics card support. Thanks and regards, Karsten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org I tried you file. Click into the text area, a box appears. Drag the text area around. Sluggish but perfectly usable. While dragging the cpu usage goes to 100%.

Is this really expected behaviour, or is it a bug? What the triple dash does is apply a paragraph format to the paragraph above the line, specifically by applying a lower border to the paragraph. To remove the line, go to Format Paragraph, click the Border tab, and under Line Style, select None. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

This is an AutoCorrect feature which turns those dashes into a border. To remove it, either undo immediately after it turns the dashes into a border, or: - place the cursor on the test line - go to Format menu Paragraph - select the Borders tab - click the line below the grey rectangle on the left to make it disappear (representing which borders are in place around the paragraph) - click OK To turn off this feature, so that dashes don't get turned into a border: - go to Tools menu AutoCorrect Options - select the Options tab - untick the box next to Apply border (While there, you may want to look at some of the other things AutoCorrect can do for you.

To test, type this text in Writer: test --- Now try to erase the line created by the dashes. Is this really expected behaviour, or is it a bug? Dotan The answer is in the help under deleting lines in text It reads like this Automatic lines in Writer 1. If you start a new line in a Writer text document by typing three or more hyphen characters and press the Enter key, the characters are removed and the previous paragraph gets a line as a bottom border. To create a single line, type three or more hyphens (-), or underscores ( _ ), and then press Enter. To create a double line, type three or more equal signs (=), asterisks (*), tildes (~), or hash marks (#), and then press Enter. 2. To remove an automatically drawn border, choose Format - Paragraph - Borders and select no border. 3. To undo an automatic border replacement once, choose Edit - Undo. 4. To disable the automatic borders, choose Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Options and clear Apply border.

What site did you download from, www.openoffice.org or somewhere else? (Registration is not really necessary for the standard version of OOo, it is used for tracking numbers of installed copies and is not expected to be especially accurate.)

[users] D%!n Page Numbers - Still can't figure it out.
rant on OK - I read the pages in the User's Guide and tried to do this, but I still can't get the second page only to use bullets and the page numbering to start on page 3. I've opened the styles and fomatting window, gone to page, and created three page styles: 1. Cover Page 2. Table of Contents 3. Body Each has margins of 1 all the way around. It needs to have the title in large font at the top of the page and the standard student assignment information in the lower left hand side of the paper so that the last line is on the 1 inch margin. I enter my text on the appropriate lines (there's a lot of white space in the middle of the page). Body has a footer where I want the page number to appear. Next I enter the page heading Table of Contents centered on the page, then turn on bullets and enter my page numbers. Finally I begin typing my text. With text entered in all three segments, I go back to the first page and place the cursor at the first letter of the paper's title, then double click on Cover Page -- near as I can tell from the reading, that should apply the page style not only to that page, but the rest of the paper as well. Next I scroll down the page until I reach the end of the student identification information. To the left of the last character I insert a manual page break, with the style Table of Contents. Finally, I move to the left of the last line of the page numbers, insert a manual page break, list Body as the style, turn on page numbering beginning with page #3. What I get is the style default listed in apply style drop down dialogue box on all three pages. The page styles I created are not listed as options in the dialogue. So, I can't tell if my page styles are being applied or not. I don't get a page number in the Body (page 3) of the document. If I go back to insert page number while in the footer of page number three, the page numbeer appears back on the cover page, beginning with #3. I've spent the past hour trying to make this work, re-read the user's manual (I have a hard copy of the on-line manual), searching the internet, and experimenting with my document. All I want is three page styles with page numbering starting with the third page of the document. I'll take any direction anyone wants to supply; at this point I'm throughly frustrated. I really like OOo, but I can't believe this is so difficult. I guess with anything powerful, this is to be expected. /rant off I appreciate your help, especially when it takes me a page and a half to say help?. mcm -- Mark C.
