from portarait to landscape orientation in Draw!?

English

#1

I made the mistake of downloading libre office 7. And it is terrible! I can not find previous computer demands to accomplish necessary things! For example, I need to immediately change the orientation of a Draw document/page from portrait to landscape and there are No options on the drop down menus to do this! How do I do this?! I need to change the page orientation, Not the image orientation! I can’t just rotate the image. I need to change the page orientation!

How do I do this!? I need to do this immediately for an important Draw document!

Tested using LibreOffice:

Version: 7.0.1.2; Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: kf5
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US; Calc: threaded

Hope that helps.

Thank you to the person who provided a possible answer (or 2 possible answers). I tried one and it seemed to work. I hope this new updated Libre Office doesn’t continue to be so counter-intuitive.

Note: The Fresh version of the LibreOffice (it is the LO 7.x.x today) is not published for a daily work. Use the Still version (it is the LO 6.4.6 today) if you want to work efficiently with the LibreOffice.

I hope it is possible to download the 6.4.6 version so that it overrides the 7.x.x version that I have. I hope I don’t get an error message saying I already have a more recent version downloaded. I will try to download and use the 6.4.6 version and see what happens.

And I do wish there was a message about this before I downloaded the 7.x.x version. I hope I don;t end up losing all of my saved documents created and saved using Libre Office.

Make a clear install of the older version. Delete the rest parts of the Program Files (on Windows) and the User Profile of the LO manually after a regular uninstall.

#8

When I tried to install the 6.4.6 version, I get the error message that says that I can Not install this version until I remove the 7.x.x version. If I remove the 7.x.x version, What Prevents the many documents I have on my laptop that use Libre Office (now the 7.x.x. version), from also being removed? I need these documents! I wish Libre had put some public warning that most people should Not download the 7.x.x. version. Instead, I got a notice saying I should download the 7.x.x version. I guess I am stuck trying to use this 7.x.x version. How bad is this 7.x.x version for me to use?

"What Prevents the many documents I have on my laptop that use Libre Office (now the 7.x.x. version), from also being removed? I need these documents! "

The full uninstall of the LO will not erase any document files. But it is always better to make Backup copies of your important documents onto another directory - another drive - another media.

“I wish Libre had put some public warning that most people should Not download the 7.x.x. version. Instead, I got a notice saying I should download the 7.x.x version.”

There are description about the Fresh and the Still versions on the LO home page. Please read them. The Document Fundation has not thousands of testers in a corporation. You will be a tester - if you want to be a tester.
The Warning is present on the official download page too (today state):

*"LibreOffice 7.0.1
If you’re a technology enthusiast, early adopter or power user, this version is for you!

LibreOffice 6.4.6
This version is slightly older and does not have the latest features, but it has been tested for longer."*
