[libreoffice-users] How do I change the default .ott in writer 4.0?

I used to have a standard format default document template that I had control over in LO 3.x. Now that I've installed 4.0, the default template is different and I want to use my own settings. How can I change the default template to match what I like? Thanks. MR -- For unsubscribe instruction

Re: [libreoffice-users] Startup positioning problem with LO 3.5.2.2

Thanks. I pulled down 3.5.1 and installed it, and the problem is still there. I could go back to a 3.4 version, but I don't know if it's that important to me. Foo. I'll just live with it. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffi

[libreoffice-users] FrameMaker conversion

I run LO 4.4.2 on my Xubuntu 14.04.2 machines (work and home). I have some old files I created way back in the late 90s that are in Aldus/Adobe FrameMaker format. I'd really like to get them into a more suitable, portable format, like ODT. I tried to have my old FM create PDFs, but that piece do

[libreoffice-users] LO Writer 5 loses recent documents list

Since I upgraded to LO 5.0.1, I've noticed that the Writer seems to lose the recent documents list at random. This morning I edited a document and it had all the ones I've worked on recently in the list. An hour later, it had only three, none of which were the one I'd worked on and most of the on

[libreoffice-users] Re: LO Writer 5 loses recent documents list - SOLVED

My apologies - I figured it out. A lot of the recent files were on my flash drive, so when it's not plugged in, LO can't see them and doesn't list them. Thanks all. MR On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 2:23 PM, MR ZenWiz wrote: > Since I upgraded to LO 5.0.1, I've noticed t

Tim, Thanks for the tip. I've been using PDFCreator for my Windows boxes for years and am usually pretty happy with it, but I'll give doPDF a shot. I work in a mixed environment with an Xubuntu desktop and a Windows laptop and I don't like having to keep track of all the printer links for both O

[libreoffice-users] Another .pps that Impress doesn't do right

I watched this in LibreOffice 3.3.0 rc2 on my Ubuntu 10.10 system and it freezes on the image of the rotating female and does not continue the slide show. In order to stop it, I have to force-quit, which kills all the open LO windows (which is more or less normal). In OOo, the file plays properly

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fonts in LO under MacOSX

Actually, MAC OS-X is UNIX-based, not Linux-based. There are many commonalities, but they are not the same. Linux does support TTF and OTF type fonts, but I'd be surprised if UNIX (and OS-X) did not. On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 5:52 AM, webmas...@krackedpress.com wrote: > > Could there be a problem
