Page numbering in openoffice mac12/10/2023 ![]() I tried selecting one page of text at a time and applied the attributes I wanted in the character pallet, but they didn't flow out and I think some text was deleted or overwritten. But, there's always a but, it seems my character spacing and baselines are a little too tight the way they pasted in, kind'a hard to read and busy. I got all my text into nice pages with the font I want, all connected and stuff, and it all flowed out nice. The ability to switch over to Photo and edit photos is a dream come true, and my pix never looked better. I wish I'd started out with this program in the beginning. I was worried about closing and rebooting to refresh and have stuff not reassimillate or whatever. Is there some command that will smooth up or mate up the text flow? Any command to select all text as one and edit as one? The program seemed to bog as I went along like it was getting low on memory, (I have 16gig of ram) and a very fast CPU. Some other programs have "combine " features or "group"-ing items so they can be edited as one. I was able to link my pages together, but trying to backspace and return to fill spaces and then to place pix gives me problems, like gaps and jumping to the next page, hard to describe. I was able to get all my text into my book project, 100 or so pages, by copy and paste, with the right font but text spaceings are much too cramped, (I figured out how to change that but would like to do it to all the text once globally (?), and there are instances where text doesn't flow very well, almost like each "paste" entry is it's own entity or object. When you place the pictures you can set a Text Wrap for getting the text to flow around the images.Įdit: Oops, forgot to include a screen shot showing how to get started Here is a starter document, place your text cursor in the big frame on and then go to File Place and place your. Anybody ever done that before? This forum is great, and I am so appreciative of the help from you guys! Jon I have a comb binder so I don't want my pages side by side, I want them lined singularly vertically, number them consecutively, and print duplex. Can't find anything specific in Help either. I can't find a video tutorial on it, and I haven't managed to get any text past the first page. But I am at a loss at how to place a big text file across that many pages. My book is 110 pages, letter size 8.5 x 11, and 52,000 or so words. I have a lot of illustrations I don't mind working on again in Designer and Photo as I want to learn them, (I'm pretty good at Corel Draw and Photoshop), and Affinity stuff looks familiar, so I will add pix back as I go. txt text file, and I am going to start all over as I have some time on my hands. I was able to save all my text as a, you guessed it. I have decided on a new approach to my Open Office struggle. When I googled it I came up with this video showing how to export to PDF, does this do the same thing as print to PDF does? If printing to PDF then yes you would have the same problem you had before. it's a fun book about an island in Maine where I live. I did the attachment book's cover in Photoshop. I am not good at this and am about ready to give up. Libre's "save as" file extensions don't look like they'd work, maybe, I don't know. ![]() Rich text format won't open in Affinity, either. I guess it just amounts to you get what you don't pay for with Open Office. I stumbled on a good deal on Affinity and here I am. Then it takes a long time for me to go back through and straighten it all out, after a couple of times of that, I figured there's got to be a better way. ![]() It will leave gaps, omit pix, push pix into the margins, and just wreak havoc. I can tell without looking closely because the page count increases. Hi, Thanks for all the help! (Back from lunch) The problem is as soon as I hit Print to open the dialog box to choose a print method like "to PDF", it repaginates my file. ![]()
