I am using Office 7.1.0 version on Arch Linux.
There is no option to set the number of copies in print options, general tab, librewriter tab. and more option…
Even in the printer properties option, there is no option to set the number of prints. but, in Windows 10, I can see the copy number setting at the printer properties.
Other office programs provide their own options for setting the number of copies.
I wonder why LO not.
Do I need to print 10 times to print 10 copies?
Hello,
There is no option to set the number of copies in print options
That’s not correct - there is such option but you need to click on More:
Note
There is even a way (i.e a workaround by now) to make More being expanded by default. This requires modification of a single file in LibreOffice installation directory. If you are interested, the procedure is:
Manjaro distribution the installation directory is: /usr/lib/libreoffice/ - but on Arch it may be different; please check)<installdir>/share/config/soffice.cfg/vcl/ui/printdialog.ui (on Manjaro: sudo cp /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/vcl/ui/printdialog.ui /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/vcl/ui/printdialog.ui.2021-02-17.backup
<installdir>/share/config/soffice.cfg/vcl/ui/printdialog.ui as root in an editor (on Manjaro: sudo vi /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/vcl/ui/printdialog.ui)<object class="GtkExpander" id="exRangeExpander">
<property name="expanded">True</property>
Tested on LiberOffice (Manjaro packages)
Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community, Build ID: 10(Build:3)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: kf5
Locale: en-US (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US, 7.1.0-1,Calc: threaded
Drawback: This procedure needs to be repeated after every update of LibreOffice
Hope that helps.
Thanks you so much…
I spend over 3 hours googling.
I didn’t see the first “more” option, only the second “more” option…
I’m so embarrassed that I’ll have to erase this question…
Don’t delete the question, the procedure to make the More expanded permanently may be of interest to other people. And believe me: You are not alone.
