All,
LibreOffice has so many shortcomings over MS-Office that as a writer/author, I had to buy a Windows Laptop with MS-Office to run ny books through, before I can send/submit them to the publisher. Some of the shortcomings are:
-
Default Margins: All legal, military and other document, by law, must have 0.5" margins on all sides unless bound and then the bound margin is always 0.75". I have never been able to successfully set these even when using published HOWTOs on this matter,
-
Default Font: I all my documents I use Arial 10pt font. I have never been able to successfully set these even when using published HOWTOs on this matter,
3.Style Formats: When trying to permently set the H1, H2, H3, etc Fonts, sizes and numbering i cannot get them to set permanently. I need 2 styles or fomats:
A. 1.0 Title (size 16pt) for H1, 1.1 Title (size 14pt) for H2. 1.1.n Title (size 12pt) for H3+.
B. The 2nd style must repeat the first but with year.month (alway 4=Apr) then the numbers as in style 1. The second style is for legal document I have to write, so have to be precise.
Again I have never been able to successfully set these even when using published HOWTOs on this matter,
- Footer Page Numbering: Though-out all my documents, which use document paragraph and page numbering the page numbers keep changing, so do not stay in consistant order making any referencing rediculous. Also again I have never been able to successfully set these even when using published HOWTOs on this matter,
I have many more gripes about LO, but this is a start. If anyone knows how to properly set these so that like in MS-Office I can simply call the “STYLE” and all formatting is correct, I will greatly appreciate this, as I’m beyound the frustation point, which led to my purchase of the Windows machine a year ago.
As you see, even this input space is corrupt as it does not properly address item #3 and therefore item #4 is improperly label #3
Cheers!
