[libreoffice-users] calc chart problems

Ahoy all: My apologies if this turns out to be a redundancy, but I originally submitted it some 4 hours ago and it hasn't shown up yet. Some 20 years ago, I frequently received questions such as those I pose below, and was able to easily answer them for others. By now, I seem to have aged

Re: [libreoffice-users] how do I delete a page in libreoffice?

2019-04-28 Thread marianne-x
You don't say whether you refer to blank, or filled, pages, but no matter. There's probably a better way to do this, but if nothing else works for you simply select, or mark, all the text + whatever else is on the page, then hit a backspace. That works on 4.4.7.2, at least, although I

[libreoffice-users] Long comments in calc?

2018-06-02 Thread marianne-x
Ahoy: I am still using Version: 4.4.7.2, so this note may be of no help. (I am not aware of any “improvements” in later versions that would help me, and I read here of so many regressions, that I have not been tempted to “upgrade”.) Anyway, in Version: 4.4.7.2, when you select “Insert-Text

[libreoffice-users] no access to styles in calc

2017-03-16 Thread marianne-x
List Ahoy: This is mostly a low-priority enquiry, rather than one of serious aggrevation. Gaining access to “Styles & Formatting” via F11, and the alternatives, works as expected in Writer. But not so in Calc. F11 produces no visible result; alt-O/Y likewise; mouse selection of

[libreoffice-users] rogue multi-line spacing

Ahoy all: I know of only two ways to increase the leading, or line-spacing, in a block of text (using, specifically, LO 4.3.7.2, Curtains 7/64 bit). One is to right-click, go to line-spacing, and select. The other is to put an explicit CR, or ENTER at the end of one line to insert a blank

Phillip Jordan should be plenty embarrassed when/if he figures out what he is doing that he is not telling us. He says he is downloading all 13,238k of LibreOffice 4.2. My download of 4.2.8.2 last night was of 215,400 kb, plus 5432 kb for the helppack, so of course nothing will work for him.

Interesting, if unsavoury, behaviour. I can confirm the identical results from /Curtains 7/, and LO 4.1.4.2. Line 28 marks the spot. On a second /Curtains 7/ machine, LO deficiencies do not permit installation of main-line LO, but the portable version, 4.0.6.2, behaves in the same way. Since LO
