Hi :) It's very weird that it allows one specific file-name but not others.  Perhaps the particular file-name that is NOT working is the name of a protected file in that folder?  Regards from Tom :)  --- On Wed, 1/8/12, Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com wrote: From: Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com

[libreoffice-users] Forcing a paragraph onto odd numbered pages

2012-08-01 Thread rob wood
Hi, I can't seem to see how to get a paragraph (or page) to only be on odd (or even) pages i.e each chapter should start on an odd page, if the page is even, it needs to insert a page break before the style starts so it becomes an odd numbered page. Is this impossible or am I just missing

Hi :) I change the default autosave time to something fairly long, around 1 hour or so.  So, if i do accidentally spend a lot tooo long making a cuppa tea then at least my work gets saved.  I think the default is fairly annoying but it depends on the person.  Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed,
