2014-04-16 Thread CVAlkan
I've become used to the idea that I need to use the Shift key for resizing graphics, but was glad to hear that an option to set that default behavior will be in 4.3. As far as I can tell, however, there is no option to do so in the alpha version of 4.3 which I am currently using. Or, am I looking

Hi :) I would have been amazed if they had got it in within hours of 'us' asking for it! Might be worth nudging the devs list or even better, perhaps, bump the bugs thread by saying which "nightly build" (or whatever) it wasn't in. I never knew about the shift key and always kinda fudged it by op

Thanks for your responses. I think that LO is missing a trick on not having the possibility of accessing their start screen. David -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Getting-back-to-the-Start-screen-tp4104830p4105441.html Sent from the Users mailing list arch

[libreoffice-users] Character Styles

2014-04-16 Thread Virgil Arrington
I've discovered another neat reason to use character styles instead of direct character formatting. We've already discussed the advantage of changing character formatting document-wide by just changing the style. I've always used Ctrl-B for boldface and Ctrl-I for Italics in providing direct c

Interesting point, Virgil. I think we need to weak a fine line between providing a tool that we can use intelligently, and forcing people to do something they don't understand. Using styles the right way is something you have to be educated about. Like you, I started by getting the idea that I coul

Hi :) Nice! :) I wonder if you can reconfigure the Ctrl B combo to apply the relevant style instead of just making it bold temporarily? Regards from Tom :) On 16 April 2014 19:06, Virgil Arrington wrote: > I've discovered another neat reason to use character styles instead of > direct charac

Hi :) I think you have gone into quite advanced usages of styles. To start with i kept it extremely simple and mixed in some direct formatting too. It took a while to get used to direct formatting too but that was so long ago now that it's difficult to remember. Most of my colleagues don't know

Hi :) Neat. I was wondering what work-around you would find. The only one i thought of was to try to remember that i would have to select an area of text to make bold instead of doing the toggling method. I think your way is better though. Thanks and regards from Tom :) On 16 April 2014 22:29,
