LibreOffice writer advanced tutorials

Topic Ideas
1

I’m interested in tutorials on LOw. Not how to apply bold face or changing the current fot, but rather things like:

  • Track changes;
  • Creating custom styles;
  • Using styles efficiently;
  • Custom footer/headers
  • Page numbering which doesn’t start on the first page, but which does start with numbering at 1.
  • Multiple page numbering styles in the same document each starting at 1, a, or I, or whatever is relevant.
  • Master/slave documents and how to manage them.

This is what would be useful to me, but I can imagine others would find this useful as well.

I could possible write these, but would prefer not to, finished that game some time back.

If you found old word 6 tutoriels they would cover this almost same menu and icons. Or look up each topic on the net.

So for track changes

While that site contains some useful stuff, it does not contain the stuff I need.

If we take your question one at a time.

You open a document, switch on track changes, then do the updates you want. At the end you have the révision marked.

Is there more you need ?

Or are you thinking deeper ?

In which case you can often get answers quite quickly from Ask LibreOffice

I can’t promise to cover these immediately, but I could tackle these bit by bit, same if you have any others you’d like to have covered. I’ll have to check and see which ones are not yet covered, though.

I run Linux Mint. My version of LibreOffice is old :anguished_face: (24.2.7.2). I wouldn’t be amazed if there’s a bunch of patches from Canonical in there.

That is really good documentation. Much better than most Linux apps.
Thank you for showing us.

Do you have installed Flatpak?
LibreOffice have official published package in Flatpak.Many people, who have issues with system package or want to have latest releases use Flatpak.

The problem is that it does not include spellchecking or hyphenation support for Dutch (last time I checked).

Correction: currently it does.
