[users] Scrolling?
I cannot find any information on how to scroll with the keyboard under Open Office. Scrolling is when the current viewable part of the document is changed, but the cursor remains in the same location. I can scroll with the mouse wheel, but that requires moving the keys from the keyboard. I have also tried [shift|alt|ctrl] - [PgDn|Down Arrow] but that did not produce the desired effect. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[users] Scrolling Presentation
How do I set a presentation so that it scrolls round and round until I stop it? I've found the time for each slide in Slideshow-Transition but it stops after the last slide. How do I get it to start at the beginning again automatically? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

But even if I did find the page button, this is not quite what I had in mind. Still, I do appreciate the thorough answer and I certainly will learn to better use the Navigator now, something that I have been meaning to do. My goal is to have the cursor centered on the screen when I type. When I get to a point that is too low or too high, I prefer to scroll so that the cursor is in the center of the screen. This is _not_ a critical procedure, just a personal preference of mine, so there is no real need to reengineer workflows for this. My hope when starting this thread was that I would discover a feature similar to Kate's Ctrl-Arrow function (scrolling).

In the Navigator, the second button from the left in the top row is circular with a right-arrow on it, with a down-arrow next to it. The help tip says "Navigation". Pressing this button brings up the Navigation toolbar. This has a range of what OpenOffice calls "categories": Table, Text Frame, Graphics, and so on. Selecting one of these categories modifies the effect of the Previous and Next controls both at the right of the Navigation toolbar and back on the Navigator itself. The Page category is an icon of a sheet of paper with the corner turned over and is in the middle of the top row. I trust this helps.

However, the Next and Previous buttons were not working as you had described, so I thought that I was using the wrong component. It turns out that I was in Web Layout mode as opposed to Print Layout mode, and therefore the concept of page was irrelevant. > I trust this helps.

That level of detail is worthy of a professional support contract. In my language we would say "all the honour to you" for the time you put into formulating such a detailed response.

I am completely unfamiliar with that concept. I do not believe that KDE or Gnome make that distinction.

While that would be useful (and in fact, I believe that the Navigator handles bookmarks), it would not fulfill my [need|personalityQuirk]. My preference is to keep the cursor on the vertical center of the screen, more or less. So I would be scrolling up approximately N lines for every N lines I edit. > I read Brian Barkers reply before replying myself, and though it > answers your question, it made my head hurt :) > While in a strictly technical sense Brian did suggest a method that would allow the viewport to show a portion of the text not occupied by the cursor, it most certainly is not a solution to my concern.

Re: [users] Scrolling
Never heard of the "throw" or a "two-way icon" BUT I have a laptop with a touchpad and there is a section on the right that has an up arrow. Then below it small lines "cut" into the pad down the site. Then a down arrow. that is my scroll system instead of using a wheel on a mouse. I have not bought a mouse for the laptop, yet.

I have a tiny wheel mouse I bought and can try but to make the touchpad work would be the trick. thank you. 1. Touch Pad Using the touch pad, put a finger at the extreme right edge of the pad, near the top, so that it is touching the pad *and* its surround. Press. Keep pressing and move the finger steadily down the edge of the pad. The current window should scroll down. Upwards works too. That was normal scroll. For auto-scroll, put the finger in the same place, press and, while pressing *rapidly* move the finger down the edge of the pad and remove it when it nears the bottom of the pad. That *should* cause auto-scroll and its what I meant by "throw"- the *rapid* movement of your finger as if you were trying to flick something off the pad towards you. If this does not work for you then either I haven't explained myself well enough or your touch pad is not configured correctly. As far as I know this technique works on all modern(ish) laptops. I'm talking about Windows laptops. I'm afraid I can't speak for *nix or Mac. 2. Wheel Mouse The "two-way icon" is *not* something engraved on the keyboard. Instead it appears *on the screen* when you press (actually "click" would be a better word) the wheel of a wheel mouse. It's a circle. About 3/4 inch in diameter. Inside the circle, at its centre, is a dot. Above the dot, but still inside the circle, is an up pointing arrow. Below the dot, but still inside the circle, is a down pointing arrow. When you click the wheel this icon appears and the cursor is level with the dot. As you move the cursor vertically away from the dot the screen starts scrolling. The further away the cursor is from the dot the faster the scroll. Once scrolling has started you can take your hand off the mouse and the screen will continue to scroll. To stop it scrolling, click the left mouse button. To slow down the scroll, move the cursor nearer the dot. To speed up the scroll, move the cursor further from the dot. Again, I'm talking about Windows. I don't even know if Mac mice have wheels. - Original Message - From: "Harold Fuchs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 1:05 PM Subject: Re: [users] Scrolling On 03/04/2008, Harold Fuchs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 03/04/2008 17:14, Robert Goulding wrote: > hands off auto-scroll, so Ican read my e-books without having to > advance > by clicking Sorry I wasn't clearer > Hmmm.

Re: [users] Scrolling
Touchpad scrolls with finger on the right side, throwing doesn't work for autoscroll though. however, I found a way. Once I installed the "optional" software for the touchpad I found out from it that clicking the left and right buttons together acts as clicking the wheel and gives me autoscroll and it works normally then. Thank you very much. I like OO.o a lot and appreciate this forum.

I have a tiny wheel mouse I bought and can try but to make the touchpad work would be the trick. thank you. 1. Touch Pad Using the touch pad, put a finger at the extreme right edge of the pad, near the top, so that it is touching the pad *and* its surround. Press. Keep pressing and move the finger steadily down the edge of the pad. The current window should scroll down. Upwards works too. That was normal scroll. For auto-scroll, put the finger in the same place, press and, while pressing *rapidly* move the finger down the edge of the pad and remove it when it nears the bottom of the pad. That *should* cause auto-scroll and its what I meant by "throw"- the *rapid* movement of your finger as if you were trying to flick something off the pad towards you. If this does not work for you then either I haven't explained myself well enough or your touch pad is not configured correctly. As far as I know this technique works on all modern(ish) laptops. I'm talking about Windows laptops. I'm afraid I can't speak for *nix or Mac. 2. Wheel Mouse The "two-way icon" is *not* something engraved on the keyboard. Instead it appears *on the screen* when you press (actually "click" would be a better word) the wheel of a wheel mouse. It's a circle. About 3/4 inch in diameter. Inside the circle, at its centre, is a dot. Above the dot, but still inside the circle, is an up pointing arrow. Below the dot, but still inside the circle, is a down pointing arrow. When you click the wheel this icon appears and the cursor is level with the dot. As you move the cursor vertically away from the dot the screen starts scrolling. The further away the cursor is from the dot the faster the scroll. Once scrolling has started you can take your hand off the mouse and the screen will continue to scroll. To stop it scrolling, click the left mouse button. To slow down the scroll, move the cursor nearer the dot. To speed up the scroll, move the cursor further from the dot. Again, I'm talking about Windows. I don't even know if Mac mice have wheels. - Original Message ----- From: "Harold Fuchs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 1:05 PM Subject: Re: [users] Scrolling On 03/04/2008, Harold Fuchs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 03/04/2008 17:14, Robert Goulding wrote: > hands off auto-scroll, so Ican read my e-books without having to > advance > by clicking Sorry I wasn't clearer > Hmmm. On my Windows XP Pro tower system with OOo 2.3 auto-scroll works just like with any other program; press the mouse wheel to bring up the symbol of the "2-way icon"* and then move the cursor down a bit. Auto-scrolling starts. The further the cursor is below the 2-way icon the faster the scroll. Substitute "up" and "above" for "down" and "below" to auto-scroll in the opposite direction.

[users] Scrolling with my mouse
Dear Friends, I'm a new user of open office, generally speaking i'm loving it. I have the following question: When i'm using writer i like to scroll up and down the page, to read or review work on previous pages, but writer automatically returns to the page that the cursor is active on. This happens when i use the wheel or the scrooling bar to the right of the screen. Is there a setting to deactivate this, or am i doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I, too, would find the behavior he describes undesirable Henri Just letting go of the mouse does not pop it back to the previous position of the cursor, but then taking other actions sometimes does (things like clicking on a menu item up top, as I recall). If you scroll-wheel somewhere and want to do stuff there, left-click somewhere in the text in the area you're looking at. Sometimes I find it annoying, too, but I've never sat down and figured exactly the set of actions that do it. I just put up with it. Just out of curiosity, does M$Word do the same thing?

[users] Scrolling of large images in Impress
It seems Impress limits the size of images to no more than roughly three times that of the slide. I'd like to use a much larger (taller, to be precise) image and scroll it vertically, parts at a time.

[users] scrolling in openoffice.org + Windows XP + Thinkpad R60
Hi, I have a bit of an obscure issue with openoffice.org 2.3.1 on a ThinkPad R60 running Windows XP.

Didn't know that option existed - thanks for the heads up. Anyways, I went and checked and it was set to Automatic Scrolling. A moment later, I realized the problem was that I had the middle mouse button set to use the Thinkpad's own scrolling feature (Trackpoint or Ultranav or whatever it's called) instead of a normal middle click. I now have it set back to normal middle click, but it would still be nice if the Thinkpad's enhanced scrolling middle button would work (it feels much nicer / is easier to use than this normal middle click, and it works fine in firefox, notepad / any other text editor, windows explorer, and everything else) Thanks again, -- Jimmy Wu Registered Linux User #454138 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
