Hi Tom, Have you figured out if Libre Writer can open plain text files automatically to your chosen font?
When I place the cursor anywhere in the body of the text of a plain text file and then choose Default in the style window it only changes that line of text to my chosen Default style, not the whole file of text. What version of Libre are you using? Thank you, Charles. On 10/19/12, Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Hi :) > I think you don't even have to select all your text.
