So, I just installed the latest version of LO, 25.8 after years of sticking with the last sub-version of LO 7. I tried once before, years ago, to update to the latest version LO (I think it was 24.something), then (very very) quickly reverted to the last sub-version of LO 7, because this LO 24 version broke the functionality of a macro pair I use for outlining that are vital for my way of outlining. Ya ya, I know I know, there is supposed to be some way to outline now using headings and doing this that and the other in navigator, doing something or other else, doing this that and the other again in navigator, yada yada yada. Sounded to me like it would pull the muscles in my mouse clicky fingers going through all that rigamarole, and give me a headache. */end of grumpy old man rant.
After I get my macro pair fixed (I will do a separate post on that after this post), I will probably ask some questions and maybe someone will give me an explanation of how to do that newfangled outlining in the step-by-step version for a âslow typeâ like me. (If it works in ordered & unordered lists).
So anyway, I have upgraded to the latest sub-version of LO 25, I figure there must have been a lot of bug fixes or some reason to make a major version jump from 7 to 24 and then 25. But I knew it was going to break stuff, my macro pair being a prime example. Call me a crusty old curmudgeon (had to look that up in the dictionary, maybe it fits me) if ya want to, doesnât bother me.
So, I am doing a page see, trying to troubleshoot my macro pair on my own. So with all the messing around I was doing on the macro, kinda messed up my Module1 for macros. So, I do an uninstall/reinstall and decide to start the grind all over again. Open up a new blank page, put in some filler text, then hit enter twice. As you can see, I like to break âelementsâ or paragraphs in a document up with a blank like between them.
When I hit enter after the filler text line, I get a blank line, think nothing of it because that is expected behavior for me - grumpy old man remember? Hit enter again, and instead of staying in Default paragraph style, expected behavior for me, instead I get Heading 1. Iâm like âwhat the hay?â right? Triggers âGrumpy Old Man Modeâ. Just to test things out, I hit enter again right after the text HEADING in Heading 1 level. Expect it to go back to Default Paragraph Style right? Nope. Goes to Body Text. Triggers âCrusty Old Curmudgeonâ mode.
So, I come up here to find out what is going on. I donât want that. What I want is for my Writer document to be in Default Page Style, and stay there until I decide to change it for some reason. If I hear/read about some latest & greatest state-of-the-art bestest new fad for having your page do this that or the other âgreatest thing since sliced breadâ thingamajig , I will look for a post about it and see if I want to try it out or not or make a post about it if I canât find one, and ask about this great âslick new trickâ or whatever.
So, all joking aside, how do I stop LO from doing this? I want it to just stay in Default Paragraph Style until I decide to change it for some reason or the other. Any help anyone can give on this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. : Maybe that was long winded. Sorry. You can call me an old windbag/gasbag if ya want to, Iâll only cry a little. Promise.
P.P.S. : Once you hit 50, Grumpy Old Man mode is allowed in my opinion, as long as you stay a nice grumpy old man 
. Once you hit 60, I think Crusty Old Curmudgeon mode is allowed, as long as you stay nice about it 
. I triggered a couple months early on the Curmudgeon thing, maybe it starts from date of conception? 
Well, maybe even then I triggered a few months early
