Is there an "email" mode? (unlimited page lenght)

English
#1

Im writing a draft for an email with a lot of images and it’s really annoying as I constantly hit the limit of the page. Is there a way to just sent unlimited lenght page? I have added 999cm or so under “user” in “Page Style”, and it maxes out at 600cm. It’s the closest thing, but at some point the page ends and it jumps into another huge page. I ended up with 2 big pages to complete the email. Ideally I just would like it all in email style and you just scroll down and read. It’s not something that’s going to be printed so I don’t care about fitting this inside A4 sheets.

Btw, it’s really annoying dealing with attaching images. Why is it to clumpsy to work with? It jumps around all the time. I add a new image where the cursor is sitting, and it’s pasted above on top of other images. The whole thing is just annoying to work with. Any tips in this field?

You can go to Tools - Options - Libre Office - Formatting Aids and set the default for anchoring images to As character

You might want to change the value of MaximumPaperHeight
⠀
Choose Tools ⟶ Options ⟶ LibreOffice ⟶ Advanced ⟶ Open Expert Configuration
and search for MaximumPaperHeight

I think you’ve chosen the wrong tool. It looks like what you need is a simple text editor (no formatting on text – you don’t mention it) with the possibility to attach images at defined locations.

In this case, why don’t you use a mailer program like Thunderbird, Outlook or Exchange? They all have a “draft” mode in which you can save your messages exactly as they will later be sent.

This is much simpler than trying to coerce Writer for something it is not intended.

As you don’t need to print the document, try web view - View | Web.

… which will have 10-meter pages :slight_smile:

This is a possible solution but when you switch to Web View the document page also extend to the full width of Writer. With wide monitors this makes the document less readable.
Is there a setting for changing the width of Web View (soft-wrapping) without altering the document page size?

No. But there’s also no rule preventing you from making Writer window fill only part of width of the monitor.
