Hi,
I’m on a Mac here and installed LibreOffice via Homebrew. The problem is, that page breaks are NOT shown in normal layout. I checked the setting LO Writer / Formatting aids, “Breaks” is ticked.
But Writer doesn’t show ANY page break. Paragraphs and spaces are shown. I thought it was a bug in 7.4 and upgraded to 7.5, but the issue is still here.
Any idea how to fix this?
Best, Michael
There are two conditions to see page breaks:
- only “explicit” breaks are shown, i.e. those added by user either with Ctrl+Enter or equivalent, or those requested by paragraph style
Text Flowparameters - in addition to the selection in
Tools>Options,LibreOffice Writer>Formatting Aids, the display feature must be enabled byView>Formatting Aids
Reminder: “ordinary” page breaks, i.e. those resulting from normal text flow, are never shown.
Sure, you describe the normal behavior, I’d like to have. But it doesn’t work. I checked the setting and “Umbrüche” (breaks) are on.
Page breaks made with Strg + Enter (Cmd + Enter) and NOT visible.
LO version 7.5, also 7.4 didn’t work as expected. Neither on Windows not on MacOS.
So it must be bug. I can’t see ANY sign of a page break.
Please attach a sample file where you don’t see page breaks. I’ll open it on my computer. If I see breaks, then something is broken on your side.
