I was making my friend a book from a fanfiction they really like, so I went to go format the index and I went to AO3 to copy and paste the chapter titles and put into libreoffice writer but when I did everything was underlined??, but not like ctrl U underlined because when I try to ctrl A Ctrl U to remove the underline it just added another underline , and I've seen and tried everything on the internet but I really don't know what is happening please help
Soo because I used libreoffice on windows, and then switched to Linux, the documents I have been working on state that the fonts I used to use is not available and will be substituted.
But it doesn't show (from what I can tell) what it's being substituted with, just the font names I used to use that isn't available anymore. Which is fine and all, but I thought I would just change the existing font to something else that I might prefer more now. Also the little yellow triangle notice letting me know about the font is very distracting at times.
Is there any easy way to change all existing font in my documents without having to go through and select everything manually?
(Edited: Solved, apparently you can just click "edit style" in styles and change existing text format very easily from there. Thank you Fedup and kaptnblackbeard for all the help and additional help~)
I have a completed text, with introductions, bibliography and everything. I've manually made a Table of Contents, but because this, the lines always come out wonky, so I've figured I'd look for the "proper" option to add a Table Of Contents. I've found the menu, added the Table of Contents, but it's blank. Short of manually adding all the information, I'm not sure what to do. Wasn't it supposed to automatically add chapters, sub-chapters, etc.?
I use an azerty keyboard (Belgian lay-out). Libreoffice consistently instantly crashes when typing ` (alt gr + £µ` button) in track changes mode. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? When track changes is off there is no problem.
Hey guys, this hurts the heck out of my eyes. Is there any way to turn this...normal? So it's white with black text rather than black with white? All the stuff I can find online seems to be about a dark mode where the actual document is black, not this...
Hi something weird is happening in Writer. If the first word of a new paragraph is a single letter like I or A. When I tap the space it won't give me a space. No matter how many times I hit the space bar. If I type Am space it works just fine. I thought I had a setting set incorrectly or something?
I checked with an AI and was told to Disable Automatic Numbering/Bullet Detection.
I did that and it works as expected, the space key works again. But I do miss the Automatic Numbering. Is there any way I can control the space bar and still have Auto Numbering? Or is this a known Bug?
Is there a way of increasing the size of the popup dialogue box for corrections when using WritingTool. Currently it has to be expanded manually to show any of the available buttons.
Second for minor corrections such as, too many spaces at the start of a sentence, there are no suggestions. So even though it recognizes there are too many spaces it requires one to go back to the text and manually remove it.
I realize neither of these problems fall into the category of earth shaking but they are annoying.
With LibreOffice 7.0 provided by Debian 11 "Bullseye", non-breaking space were visible with grey rectangles. With LibreOffice 25 provided by Debian 13 "Trixie", it is not the case anymore.
With "View", "Nonprinting Characters" can be toggle. But as written, it prints all non-printing characters, including end of paragraph. Moreover, non-breaking space have now a small circle in top of the rectangle.
Is it possible to have the previous behavior (only non-breaking spaces and no annoying circle)? If yes, how?
Using drawer I drew a line around the text I would like to put a border around. Saw a couple of YT vids but they were 3+ years old and maybe something has changed. Dont want anything fancy just a plain jane black border (box?) around the text.
I'd like to organize my document into Sections, but I'd like the over-all format of the document to be two columned, pretty much like an old-school newspaper. It doesn't seem possible to start a new Section and simply have it flow into the next column. Is it?
How do I change the default paragraph style into what I want? I want to change the margins make them .50 all the way around and change "Liberation Serif" to Arial. I want the change to be permanent, not just for one document. I am on my last nerve with LibreOffice Writer. The same thing happened when I tried to use Open Office. Nothing is in plain sight. Please, help me stay off Word!
I understand that these symbols mean 1/2, 1/4, etc, but I have never used them before and am not prepared to do so now (or ever). I did go to Tools - AutoCorrect - ...Options, which is where the screenshot is from, but trying to replace the symbols by typing in 1/2 or copy/pasting the tiny-sized 1/2 (what Microsoft Office auto-changes 1/2 into) does nothing to fix this. Please help!
I am having trouble with the recent update of LibreOffice
In the newest update, when I split a paragraph, it deletes the initial tab of the original paragraph forcing me to go back and retab. Probably not a big deal for most, but I'm editing a novel and there are a lot of dialogue tags and such that get ruined through this process, and it adds time to the process.
Any help?
I tried to report the bug, but their FAQ is a complicated process I don't want to read about and learn just now if I can avoid it. If anyone knows an easy bug reporting for LibraOffice, that would satisfy.
I am writing multiple academic article within Writer, and I'd like to know if it's possible to add images to a document in Writer and have them appear at the end without me having to do tedious editing work.
Like an end of document note, if you will. Some people have told me to use the table of illustration fonction, and it's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to have all my illustrations appearing at the end of the document, not in the text. How do I do that ?
Hanging Indent or Paragraph Indent - It refers to entire paragraph being indented to the right or left.
First Line Indent - It refers to the first line of a paragraph being indented to the right.
Margin - It refers to the area beyond which you should not be able to write.
But guess what we can extend the Hanging Indent to the left and still write up so what's the use of margin if we can shift hanging indent to write on the outskirts of margin. Some one please explain me.
Just to prove my theory I have two pictures that I have attached look at them you will see.
I've moved to LibreOffice recently because Word is increasingly horrible. I've managed to get LibreOffice adjusted to most of my needs. But I've encountered something that is a huge problem for me and if there is no solution - then I will have to find another word processor.
Most of my documents are English with Hebrew throughout. I frequently switch between my English and Hebrew keyboards while typing.
After I finish typing a Hebrew word/phrase, I switch my keyboard back to English. However, in Writer, if the next thing I type (while using the standard US keyboard) is not a letter or period, the character will be switched to Hebrew and the Hebrew font. This is a major problem. The picture below illustrates a couple of the situations.
In the first pair, you can see the difference in the final quote mark. I switched back to English before typing that character. And in the final pair, I switched back to English before typing a space and a dash. After I typed the next word, the dash changed as expected to the proper longer dash...except it changed to Hebrew and the Hebrew font.
On the dash, with the offended element selected, when I click on tools --> language --> for selection, it shows "Hebrew" even though I was using the Hebrew keyboard when I typed it. And the font changed to my Hebrew font, even though it was initially in the English font.
With the first quote mark example, it is a bit different. It shows as English and the font as Times New Roman - but it is not the smart quote. This is the problem I encounter the most frequently. I need the dash to be changed to the correct dash...but in English as I type the original. I cannot just live with this change because of style guides that I must follow.
Most of the time that I type Hebrew it is followed by a non-character element. I can't go back and manually change each of them. I don't encounter this problem as frequently since I rarely use quote marks around Hebrew
