Started 1 month ago by trav2001
I just got fed up with MS JUNK!!! So I downloaded OoenOffice. So far I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! But I do have one question. I opened a a document that i recently opened in MS Word.

> Did anyone manage to solve this? I'm in the same situation as G64 - table spanning across more pages, a row is longer than one page. The "Allow row to break across pages and columns" is ticked and the text style has "Do not split paragraph" property unticked. In previous cases I used to cut & paste the text back, but it didn't help this time - the text stays hidden under the ...

> Create a User Field using the green check mark but don't click Insert. Select Input Field on the left and select your field in the middle. Fill in the Reference box with an instruction like, “Enter first name.” Click Insert and, unless you want a default value, just tap the spacebar a few times which will give the field some width. Click OK and then protect the Section. You ...

Text block - some multiline part of the document, there can be tables, images... Thnks. Select then delete , copy, paste usually work. However are you talking about a rectangular piece of text in a file?

soffice.exe <path>\<filename> should do. If <filename> is an OOo template file, the command will open a new document based on the file, and if it's a document, it will be opened. To force new document (for using a plain document as a template), use the -n option on the command line. soffice.exe -n <path>\<filename>

You need to keep a style file that defines nyc asian escorts how citations and the reference nyc asian escort list should be formatted (to get started, simply copy the example style file text from the web page), and provides fairly extensive customizability by utilizing the standard export layout format of JabRef. Making a user-friendly system for handling nyc escorts of style files is of course important, but so far I've been focusing...

OK, my bad there... The "hidden" characters, then, may be "control" characters that are somehow inserted in the text. If you have a hex editor/viewer on your system, use it to peruse the problematic "text" document and see what, if anything, is there other than the known CRLF sequence. If you're able to find those characters (via hex values, etc.), we'd like to know what they...

John, Success !! Thanks for the advice ! The second suggestion worked - when I was in front of the paragraph and not in it. When I placed the cursor inside the paragraph and inserted the paragraph break with a new page style, the paragraph blew up and spead out onto a new page that got created after the page I inserted the break into even with the Do not split paragraph option checked The first suggestion did not work at all for an existing...
