After a fresh install of Windows 10, I am having problems with navigation within the document and with formatting.
Navigation is unpleasant. I am only able to point the cursor approximately where I want it to go, then have to use the direction arrows for precision. I an unable to move the cursor to the first character of a new paragraph or anywhere in that line.
The second (and much bigger problem) is that NONE of the dropdown buttons in the toolbars point to the correct commands. For example, if I tap the Print icon, I get the text dropdown list. If I tap Format Paintbrush, I get the text editor dropdown list. Bold button generated Undo (Ctrl-Z) And so on.
I performed numerous un- and reinstalls using different version of LibreOffice before uninstalling and installing OO to see if I had similar problems. I didn’t, but I was able to save the docs only as .odt. I got error messages when I saved in the other standard formats that I tested. The errors pointed to the absence off Java and a JRE, so I reinstalled LO hoping somebody can tell me why the paths are consistently pointing to the wrong place.
My understanding is that use of Java is being discourage for security reasons. I have no problem installing it if it is necessary, so my questions have to do with the cause of the problem, and whether installing JRE will correct it.
I tried to use the IRC chat, but nobody responded to my broadcast messages, so I guess I don’t know how to use it or hashtags properly. Really hoping somebody can help with this as I have spent hours searching for an online solutions but couldn’t even find same problems!
