Field separator in header sub-chaper with number
I wanted to use in a header the sub-chapter with the number. I did ask this in my previous thread of https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questi... which was half successful.
Half because I could add a sub-chapter but not exactly as I would like. I could place the field, but sometime a bit difficult to right align. The field, marked in grey, has a large empty space behind, which can not be removed easily. I could succeed after all although I can not reproduce what I did, a bit scary. But I do accept.
I would like the have the field with heading numbers. I could do so but, without a space as separator, which looks ugly.
I would like a space between "1.1" and "The main thing" I attached the stripped file to only 3 pages see: .C:\fakepath\test_04.odt
I followed the remarks of ajlittoz with the following results:
which is ok. The second right header is using tabs but is not ok:
Also with align this is not ok but in a different way:
I can enter not the field of "Uitdagingen" to remove the spaces. Beside it is weird, the first page header is ok, the second is not.
While trying to adjust settings a few time my settings were lost when trying to access them again. Beside inconvenient this is also very confusing. I do not know for sure anymore which properties have which value.
See the document: C:\fakepath\test_10.odt
Edit your question to attach an example of your present "failure". This will be much easier to suggest a fix.
I asked you to attach a sample file (2-3 pages max) to the question. You edited with screenshots which don't allow to check all the page, paragraph and style properties. You didn't even enable
View>Formatting Markswhich could have given clues about your work routine.Mention your OS and LO version. I don't recognise the UI; which user interface have you selected?
Sorry for that. Sorry to say I did not get a message you replied, so I respond lately. Sorry for that. My original document contains now 23 pages and I do not want to make that public. So I saved it as template (.ott) and tried to remove the text. With conditional page breaks. But because doing so the header functionality changes. I would like to build a template with all the functionality I need. For that I first need to create a document where all aspect, with content, appear. Then delete the content and save it as a template.
Now working on the document, the header does change again, even in the previous files. I thought style are part of the document itself. Is that true ajlittoz? Because If so, that should not happen.
I have Ubuntu 20.04, LibreOffice 7.0.4.2 using standard user interface.
To create a sample, make a copy of your document. Remove text before and after the occurrence of the mishap, keeping only ~3 pages. If text is still private here, replace it with dummy text. You can do it easily typing "lorem" (without quotes) and immediately
F3. Delete excess text.I did check my question and saw there was no attached file. I added this now.
Remove the spacing in Heading 2 Uitdagingen (in text, not in header) and everything should be back to normal.
Of course. With hindsight it is obvious. But to find it, before, like you did, is hard. I appreciate your explanation and get the feeling I understand a bit more of styles. Thanks ajlittoz
