Librewriter is broken [working with frames and/or text boxes]

librewriter

1. Go down to the next page to continue on from the previous page and everything disappears, all the text on previous page.
2. Header (default page style) keeps popping up no matter what I do.
3. Resize a textbox and it disappears.
4. Apparently insert > textbox is totally useless. You have to create the textbox you want manually under “object”;
5. “Object” however, seems to have mysteriously disappeared. It No longer exist. Its not under file, home, insert, layout, references, review, view, extension, tools.
6. Text mysteriously showing up on blank pages and I didn’t paste in.
7. I make all the text on every page New Century Schoolbook 12pt font but the text are different font size on every page.
8. What’s with the red arrow |> at the bottom. It does nothing.
9. There should be cut & paste in the contextual menu i.e. right click. Highlighting the text and then going to home is totally inefficient.

Nice rant. As I don’t see any questions I’m not sure of your pupose.
.
Some hints:

• This is no place for bug-reports, use bugzilla, if you manage to include enough information to verify this.
• This site is usually a place, where experienced users help other users to solve problems. But (as with bug-reports): We need a precise description, what you did, possibly also a file for inspection or for texts like “the red arrow |>” a screenshot. So if you are interested in answers/help please use your competence to write better questions. (Starting with the version of LibreOffice you use and your OS, and possibly also desktop environment)
• Try to use one topic per thread. If “we” really answer all points, this thread will be unreadable soon.
• As this software (including Writer) had some users, wich managed to work with it, consider the possibillity you may find a person responsible for your problems using a mirror. In some cases reading a manual may also help… Otherwise all successfull users may simply be brilliant, wich can’t be expected from everybody.

List of issues. Nothing else.

[EarnestAl]

Did you type all your text into the header?
Did you set Body Text or Default Paragraph Style to Keep with next paragraph?
Are you trying to type an entire document into a frame, a text box, or a table cell?
.
You can upload a short sample document.
In the meantime, you might like to look at the Writer Guide, English documentation | LibreOffice Documentation - LibreOffice User Guides

Bugs are created by the programmer’s bad programing but here you are disingeously scapegoating me.

You have no intent on helping me and that’s obvious from your post.

Did you type all your text into the header?

I don’t have any headers. All my texts are in the body below the stupid–> header (Default page style) which keeps popping up out out of nowhere.

@EarnestAl

Did you set Body Text or Default Paragraph Style to Keep with next paragraph?

The page i’m on right now. I have a list Not a paragraph. Which btw I cannot continue on to the next page.

If you want a donation you’re not going to get it because you have in effect scapegoated and gaslighted me.

What’s with the red arrow |> at the bottom.

It looks like the entire text is in a frame.

[iavswn]

“It looks like the entire text is in a frame.”

Because it has to be in booklet form. That’s a U.S. Supreme court requirement.

[iavswn]

Its randomly putting words on pages I did not paste or type.

[iavswn]

I try saving it so I don’t lose what i’m working on and it gave me an error message.

[iavswn]

The scroll thingie on right, pic of it it below, continuously moving up and down randomly.

[iavswn]

Do as PKG said and Now I got multiple frames.

[iavswn]

Clicked on the green box [ ] and the entire frame disappeared. I got a blank page now.

[EarnestAl]

No sample and doing random stuff without waiting for help. I can’t help. Bye, Al

What is the requirement: the use of frames or “to be in booklet form”?
Don’t use frames for all text.
You can change the page style to create a booklet.

[LeroyG]

You can use right tab stops with fill character (.) to align the right numbers.
