Hi Hmm...any "number range variable" can be referenced . Is that what you are looking for ? Insert => fields => others Choose the variables tab, select "number range" in the type column In the name field, write a "good" name - "Myparanumber" ?? Press insert (hopefully creates a "1" in your document) Next time you want to insert "Myparanumber" Insert => fields => others Choose the variables tab, select "number range" in the type column select Myparanumber in the selection column Insert (gives you a 2 in the document, and so on) To insert a reference to the number Insert => fields => others Choose the referencestab, select "Myparanumber" in the type column select Myparanumber in the selection column Choose format (numbering is one option there) insert Regards Kjell L.

[users] Slow pagepane in draw (possibly in impress)
Hi! When a draw file gets complicated or consisting of large includes, turning on the page pane makes OO go into a "slow motion" state. On my machine it constantly eats 50% of my cpu. It seems to be constantly updating the thumbs in the pagepane. Appearantly the pagepane is the only place where pages can be reordered so it is neccesarry to turn it on from time to time. Do any of you know of/if it is 1) possible to turn of the graphics/thumbnails in the pagepane, 2) another way of reordering pages?? (meaning not dragging them in the pagepane) Regards Kjell Lindbo (windows xp , oo 2.1) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I could not find the menu item you are refering to in draw/impress (I found it in writer.)maybe I have a different version...

Hi! A draw/impress question: I tend to get a "million" linked images in my documents. From time to time I loose track on were the files aresohow do I figure out the path to the file "behind" an image. I could go to edit=>links .. but thats no help when you have 200 images linked.

Wellunless you really want to use search and replace. There is an automated procedure to do most of this in Writer. Highlight the area you want to fix, then goto Format - Autoformat - Apply. Tings to remember: 1) The automated procedure requires that the highlighted text has the "default" paragraph format (or it will not work). 2) If it still do not work - You might have to go to Tools-AutoCorrect - Tab options - scroll down to the bottom and make sure that "combine single line paragraphs if length greater than" is turned on and maybe change the default value.

[users] Re: oooDraw: word wrap text & resize shape to fit text
You have probably not created a shape but a plain rectangle or polygon. I do not think these options are available for them. Try creating your polygons from the "basic shapes" or the "flowchart" buttons in the drawing toolbar and you will be allowed to do word wrap etc Kjell "Vincente Aggrippino" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This seems like it should be an easy one, but I must be missing something. I am trying to create a relatively simple flowchart using OpenOffice.orgDraw. For each object that I create, I want to "Word wrap text in shape" and "Resize shape to fit text". However, these options are unavailable (grayed-out). What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Vince Aggrippino - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tanks for your interest in this strange problem. I have checked all the parameters you mentioned and they are the same. I then used a couple of hours to try to figure out were the problem is and here is the result: I suddenly realised that in a new document "file new text document", the problem were nonexistent.

[users] Copying figures from draw to writer - problems with text and font
Hi! When I copy a figure from draw and paste it into writer the text changes length??. This make my figures kind of difficult to read...and restricting me from using draw to make figures. Example - make a textobject , times new roman 8 pt in draw. Highlight the object (not only the text), copy the object and paste it into writerthe text extends in length.actually the letters look the same but tiny spaces are inserted between the letters. The same effect can be seen by inserting a text graphics object directly in writer. I've checked all the text/character parameters I could find but could not find any differences. Any swittch/button I could try to fix this or is it a bug (feature) OpenOffice 2.01 on windows.
