Hello and thank you for your reply!I am not creating a list. It is a text document. I do not want to see pages side-by-side. I want only to see one page at a time as I create a 3-4 page document.
I do not understand how to change the settings in order for only one page to display as I type. That used to be the common display. Now both MS Word and now Open office think I want to see my document as a book or as pairs of pages across from each other on my screen.
I am attaching a sample. It may be in the PC settings, but I can't open a document in Open Office that just shows one page as I create a 3-4 page document.
Thanks! Carmen On 3/1/2013 1:27 PM, Maurice Howe wrote:
For my scheme to work, each list entry (the name, that is) needs to be on a line by itself. If you'd like to send a sample (one of your lists, for example, assuming they are all in the same general format), I'd be happy to try to help.

I am afraid my bibliographies are simple text files in writer. Would it possible to follow your advise?

Unclick MAKEALLCOLUMNS THE SAME WIDTH (or words to that effect). Click the box that tells the program about the TAB separator. Then click to build the table. Then select the entire table and click TABLE, then the SORT tab. If the resulting formatting pleases you, you're done. You'll probably want to experiment with TABLE/PROPERTIES to keep text for entries on the same page, etc. If you prefer that the list NOT be in a table, select the entire table, go to TABLE and click CONVERT again but this time use the TABLE TO TEXT option. This works well for me. Good luck.

In some of the lists there exists duplicates bibliographies to be canceled when one list would be crested. The lists are organized in alphabetical order. I wish to create one bibliographical list, containing all the four together and of course in alphabetical order. Is this is possible in OO 3.4.1 I am on Mac, with OSX 10.8.2, but I assume it doesn't matter in regards to commands in OO.
