sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Albert Jesiah Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Incredible content. Since I switched from engineering to management, I unfortunately come across a lot of docx and odt. I never bothered to learn writer, impress or calc really and more or less fooled around doing changes in documents. This quick rundown is perfect to quickly show me the way around. All it takes now is to practice a bit on upcoming documents until I grow the proper routine. Quick rundowns can - if done properly - save a lot of time in learning. And this one is incredibly well done. Thanks a lot and thumps up from a happy viewer.
Thank you ...wow...that's alot of info... my girlfriend just lost her Word app and rather that spend $$$ we installed Libre Office ... I had no idea how much there was to this software. Thank you.
I have been trying to figure out wtf I'm supposed to do trying to make a tcg card on a browser and this is so much clearer than a browser. Thank you this is a lifesaver
Thank you so much! I've tried to watch several other tutorials and they always go way too fast. I know some of it, don't need to go back too far, but what I don't know needs explaining slowly and clearly. I'm an old person. I'm trying to get books published. One thing I couldn't do was get page numbers entered and in order. They were all jumbled up! I'll also need to put the author's name in a header on one page and the title of the book in a header on opposite page. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Jaco. My laptop was stolen in an armed robbery. I live in South Africa you know and this kind of happening is the national sport - unfortunately. I am busy with a novel in Afrikaans. I used to Microsoft, but could buy it due financial constrains. I downloaded Libre. The reviews are good in general so I decided to use it. I am 57 and have very limited computer literacy. Afrikaans are a Germanic language, hence a lot of punctuation are alike. I opened the symbols on the toolbar but non of the needed symbols are available. What do I do to go to an advanced symbols to fit the needs, or is that what Libre offers? I also went to Google to use the Alt alternative. For example "Alt 0232" will give me an 'e' with a umlaut (e with an accent). Please be to my assistance and advise me.
You are the wizard! Thanks! All I needed was how to access the experimental features / other features! And I totally agree with you about the Office 2007 ribbon and I'm going to be trying that out,. Thanks for this!
You did a great job there! You covered a goodly amount of stuff in quite a short time. I have just switched from W7 to Mint 20, so I have just switched from Office to Libre Office, and I find there are a few more formatting discrepencies than you have reported finding, but no big deal. I often save what I make as a PDF before I share it anyway, so it's not a show-stopper. Thanks.
Thank you for this, it takes a step out of my workflow when I use Scrivener. It means I don't have to open the compiled document in LibreOffice to get the bibliography list, then open it in Word to send it off to my co-authors.
I like libreoffice. I use it. I've also been able to use language writing functions that aren't in English. So it works well. You mentioned something about this in the beginning with someone having trouble with it.
I have an impression that LibreOffice Writer works as well as Microsoft Word. Last year, I upgraded from Microsoft Word 2019 to Microsoft Word 2021, the Microsoft Office 2021 suite. The menus in Writer are very good. I enjoy the way you work with the various features and controls in the application program. Your show was excellent. I hope to watch you teach Calc.
Hey man, after a couple of months do you still think that LibreOffice is just as good as MS word 2021? The 1 device PER license key is a deal breaker for me :/
Thank you very much for the excellent tutorial. I've been away from my WP for a number of years and have become rather rusty! Indeed, the last version of Libreoffice I used started with 5. Your easy, informative style certainly blasted through quite a lot of the functions. You have a new subscriber! I'll look forward to checking out your other tuts. Anyhow, Like so many other baby-boomers, I started with Wordperfect - blue screen, no mouse, no menu - and then moved on to use MS Word along with the rest of the world. I actually bought the 2003 student version and used it until it was no longer supported. That's when I switched to Open Office. Frankly, I couldn't really see much difference in use - apart from the regular glitches regarding MS Word compatibility. With Libreoffice now in version 7, the compatibility issues seem to have gone away, and the application looks very polished. Once again, much obliged!
I am working on a recipe book with two text panels per page and sometimes the icon tool changes and will only do the text box not the text inside the box. How do I get the icon back to change the text?
You are the SAVANT of office software. I downloaded Libre because of not wanting to deal with Microsoft Office and monthly charges and whatever else Microsoft throws at you. Besides I only need to write a letter occasionally or open something. Now I need to duplicate what you did to help get it through my thick skull.
I have been using this for a while, so I know most of what I needed to, but this was helpful. Would have saved me a bit of a learning curve if I had watched it to begin with, but I never do things the easy way.
Question for you. Microsoft word/office 365 has a document translation function. I wanted to ask if Libreoffice has this? I may need this feature but don't want to go back to anything microsoft or windows if there's a way to avoid it. libreoffice is also a wonderful product.
When I try to INSERT a TABLE (number of rows, columns etc, ) what I get in the area where the cells should be is a solid gray 'block' in my document. What am I doing wrong?
How do you set the default to make the page take up all the space below the tool bars???? I go through this every time I do a new install and it takes forever to find the magic button. This time I'm not able to find it.....
Does anyone know how to to get the grammar checker working? It can detect simple errors like an extra consecutive "the", but not anything more complex like "their", there and "they're" used incorrectly in a context, even though there's no ambiguity about which should be used. For instance if I type "There going home", it doesn't detect the error.
I've commented elsewhere about how LibreOffice respects my system GTK theme on Linux. If you're suggesting that the text editing section _should_ be dark, I disagree, because paper is white and I want to see what it would look like on paper.
@@NerdOnTheStreet What is GTK? I had Ubuntu on a computer for awhile and never learned it. Are you saying you can't do it from Libre Office Writer itself? It might be easier on my eyes to have the background dark. (not the page, just the background).
@@NerdOnTheStreet I think you're being asked by LilZebra how you accomplished having a dark themed workspace and tool bars *without* also causing the paper area to be dark too. -- So, it's the GTK theme on a computer running Linux.
Thank you very much. I'm trying to format a very short ebook for KDP. When I saved 2 pages in HTML I got a message saying it may not work properly, should save in odf text. But KDP will not accept that. Another problem is the BOLD, HIGHTLIGHT etc, It's hard to turn on and off.
Jacob, thank you very much. Yes, I am tackling this with enthusiasm. I just recently downloaded LO 7.0.3 and start opening and saving documents from all over -- DOWNLOADS, ONEDRIVE, MSWORD ONLINE ETC. I came upon your video while looking for answers to PDF downloads attempts to open where dialog asks for password. I never setup one, so I have no Idea whose or what to enter. I know that's a little more advanced than what you covered here and I am definitely glad to have come here and retrieve this one. However, I do need to understand how to correct my situation that brought me here. Thanks for whatever you can share.
It's been a while since I had that installation, but I believe this was the Arc Dark GTK theme (the blue variant, if there were color variants) with the Breeze Dark icon theme. I was running MATE on Arch at the time.
Good video! Do you use any other programs on the LibreOffice suite other than Writer or Base like Calc or Impress? If so could you consider doing a "Getting Started" video on those too? Another, what is the "Safe Mode" option? And finally, do you know how to change the encoding for certain documents? For example, if I have a document with a different kind of encoding and open it in Microsoft Word, Word will automatically ask me what kind of encoding and give me a list of different encoding for it before actually opening the file. In LibreOffice it just opens the file to gibberish.
how do i import a PDF File like a song chart just to change some of the words or the key on the song chart am having trouble. i would appreciate very much thank you!
Hello - I look for a solution with the simple copiing from tranlatet Text from Google Translate to a document in Libre Office Writer. Everytime the Text , witch is existing in Google Translate - when I try to paste the marked text to Libre Office Writer - this text exist only of words - all formatiation is lost - do you know a solution - Thank you a lot
I often receive manuscripts in one long file. I recently found out that Microsoft Word has the ability to break down a manuscript into separate chapters, can Libre Writer do the same?
When I create a 'template' in LibreOffice Writer, it will not hold the features I select, such as indents, spacing, and others. Cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. You may be too far above my level on computer knowledge, but I really appreciate how you present your videos. They are easy to follow and understand. Hope you can help me understand.
Nice presentation. I never heard about libre office and I’m getting s new computer soon. How do I work with documents that are already in Microsoft format (word, excel, PPT,etc ). Where can I go to find how this all starts from scratch. Can you send me a video link or word overview and instructions? Thank you
Thank you, you help me with my assignment. I hate office because they keep putting bloatware in my computer. That bloatware is Skype for business which I can't uninstall easily without uninstalling office.
hi, I just had this loaded on a laptop I will be giving to a friend that know nothing about computers. my question is how to I put information in the header in libreoffice
I need to SELECT every other row / line (separated with a cr/lf so I can change the color of the text all at once. This is for a music chord sheet where the chords are on separate lines. So far I have not found a way to do that. The method of doing one line at a time is prohibitively time consuming. Any ideas?
Brilliant video! Thank you for sharing this, that was great information. I recently had to buy a new laptop as my previous Windows laptop was seizing up so much and this time I bought a Chromebook instead. I have only just started to use Libreoffice and it is very good. I just need to get my head around it and watch a lot of videos on this.
Is there any way to make it ALWAYS default to web view? The scroll bar shifts on me otherwise and each time I open any document, I have to reset to web view.
Terrific tutorial! What I don't get clearly is how to format a document that is already typed into Libre. How to draw the paragraphs together and eliminate the often large white spaces between them, with a few short keystrokes. If I cleared the formatting, would I lose anything or would the paragraphs remain as paragraphs that cold easily be re-formatted? Thanx much!
I'm using libreoffice to write a journal, and I'm writing another document using copy and paste from the internet. I'm having trouble on both documents with the paragraphs shifting to other pages, and in some cases when try to fix the problem, it makes it worse. I've been stuck trying to fix the problem for a while now, and it's gotten the point, I'm ready the delete them both. What am I doing wrong?
I can't even do a basic document search in LibreOffice; otherwise, I find it okay for my basic needs, which are exclusively document creation and editing.
Say I want the document that contains the words "the man in the moon". It will find ten thousand results containing "the" "man" "in" "moon" but there's no way I can ask for the exact phrase "the man in the moon". It's very frustrating.
Here's my problem. I've had LibreOffice Writer for many years, since the early days. Then I just upgraded to the latest Ubuntu version, along with the new LibreOffice node. Surprise! With the upgrade, I can no longer copy and paste text in a document. It's broke. Whereas I can still copy text from a website and past it into a LibreOffice Writer document. I can't find a fix for this. I have a feeling that it's unstable.
How can i get a word correction proposition when i right click on a poorly worded word? For example when i enter " wordd" i right click and it shows me "word" ?
my cursor keeps jumping to the top of the page where the first heading is every time i click somewhere into the text or headings of the first page of the document, but only if I do it on the left side of the page, not when I click somewhere on the right side of the page. It's as if there is an invisible border that goes down from top to bottom of the document. This is so strange and I've no clue why? ....help! :-)
Go to Format -> Page Style..., or right-click the page and select the Page Style... option. In that dialog, select the "Page" tab if it's not already selected. The orientation & margin options are in that tab.
Nice video. I must admit to using WPS (...I know, shoot me) but that's through laziness and not taking the time to give LibreOffice a fair chance. Older version in my distro (Debian) so I'll take a look at the snap.
This is all good. but the point is the Visual Basic for Application Problem. Companys have a lot of Macros based on the VBA and when I am right, the Staroffice Basic and VBA are not compatible together. (Libre Office was the same as Staroffice BACK TO ROOTS. So the answer to the Macro Problem is open. and do nopt tell me you can create a Macro. Mercedes Benz have more than 12.000 Macros to changed if he will changed the Software. Also all SDK work with SAP, Oracle, MSSQL Server and moree had to be changed. The cost of the new developement was very expensive.
lol I'm like Scott jones I'm in my 50's I've learned M.S word , you blew my mind I wondered what Libre office was and you are right it's the same difference is M.S. wants $70.00 thank you this was great to know there are more options not everybody can just throw money around.
Very good overview. I am a home user migrating from MS Office on Windows 11. Viewed this earlier when I installed Libreoffice V7.3. Now am on to V7.4. I viewed this again today and learned a lot more about using Writer. Thanks for the help
I'm late to the party - all the comments are 3 years old.!! I just discovered this. I'm looking for help in editing a pdf document using LibreOffice Draw. I've updated my version but to me the app is still acting wonky and I'm looking for assistance.
I learned old DOS word processors back in the day and used WordPerfect quite a bit. I've been using Microsoft products off and on since then and of course font/text/color/bold etc. are options found even on web platforms. I used Open Office too but here's the thing. I'm not a power user or even a frequent user of word processors but Writer is not intuitive in the least it's UI many times is contradictory often opting for the hidden default than the offered options. This may be a symptom of open source development but still a major draw back. Just a quick example : You want to download and print the quick reference sheet they offer in their help section. You do, doesn't fit wasted ink and kind of irritating that you didn't pay attention it seem ok in the tiny preview window but totally user error can't expect it to just correct my errors automatically or even prompt me of an incompatibility right? So, lets try again. Preview looks good let's take a closer look. Oh I see it's trying to print to A4 and my printer is loaded with letter size, drop down box select and print. What no change... Let's look online come across this great video but need to keep looking, then some testy power users on a forum degrade someone inquiring about the same issue I'm suffering from. The solution is that the option to change the layout when you print is ignored and you need to know that you need to change the layout on the page setup hmmm? Guess need to be part of the clic to get that memo.
hi thank for the tutorial Any tips for making it low vision friendly? Thanks I am trying to help someone in a nursing home that has Libre on a shared computer.
I need to set up a different header for each chapter of a book (chapter title) with the title pages without a header. Can you help with that? Libreoffice 6
Thank You so much sir. because you are spreading open source software. My question is that I am preparing an Urdu book (right to left language) which has lots of footnotes, but footnote separator is showing in the left side of the footer(because of roman language system of writing). I want to move it to right side from the left. Please guide me. Thanks in Advance.
In this video, I was using Arch Linux with the MATE desktop environment, the Vimix Dark Laptop Doder theme, the KDE Breeze Dark icon theme, and the Breeze Snow cursor theme.

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account??

Incredible content. Since I switched from engineering to management, I unfortunately come across a lot of docx and odt. I never bothered to learn writer, impress or calc really and more or less fooled around doing changes in documents. This quick rundown is perfect to quickly show me the way around.

I'll also need to put the author's name in a header on one page and the title of the book in a header on opposite page. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Jaco.
My laptop was stolen in an armed robbery. I live in South Africa you know and this kind of happening is the national sport - unfortunately. I am busy with a novel in Afrikaans. I used to Microsoft, but could buy it due financial constrains. I downloaded Libre. The reviews are good in general so I decided to use it. I am 57 and have very limited computer literacy.
Afrikaans are a Germanic language, hence a lot of punctuation are alike. I opened the symbols on the toolbar but non of the needed symbols are available. What do I do to go to an advanced symbols to fit the needs, or is that what Libre offers? I also went to Google to use the Alt alternative. For example "Alt 0232" will give me an 'e' with a umlaut (e with an accent).
Please be to my assistance and advise me.
Go to "Insert" then "Special Character..." and you will find what you are looking for.
Lol nice story kid
You are the wizard! Thanks! All I needed was how to access the experimental features / other features! And I totally agree with you about the Office 2007 ribbon and I'm going to be trying that out,. Thanks for this!
You did a great job there!
You covered a goodly amount of stuff in quite a short time.
I have just switched from W7 to Mint 20, so I have just switched from Office to Libre Office, and I find there are a few more formatting discrepencies than you have reported finding, but no big deal.
I often save what I make as a PDF before I share it anyway, so it's not a show-stopper.

I'm having trouble on both documents with the paragraphs shifting to other pages, and in some cases when try to fix the problem, it makes it worse. I've been stuck trying to fix the problem for a while now, and it's gotten the point, I'm ready the delete them both. What am I doing wrong?
I can't even do a basic document search in LibreOffice; otherwise, I find it okay for my basic needs, which are exclusively document creation and editing.
Say I want the document that contains the words "the man in the moon". It will find ten thousand results containing "the" "man" "in" "moon" but there's no way I can ask for the exact phrase "the man in the moon". It's very frustrating.
Here's my problem. I've had LibreOffice Writer for many years, since the early days. Then I just upgraded to the latest Ubuntu version, along with the new LibreOffice node. Surprise! With the upgrade, I can no longer copy and paste text in a document. It's broke. Whereas I can still copy text from a website and past it into a LibreOffice Writer document. I can't find a fix for this. I have a feeling that it's unstable.
Awesome tutorial, super info-packed. Thank you
How can i get a word correction proposition when i right click on a poorly worded word? For example when i enter " wordd" i right click and it shows me "word" ?
my cursor keeps jumping to the top of the page where the first heading is every time i click somewhere into the text or headings of the first page of the document, but only if I do it on the left side of the page, not when I click somewhere on the right side of the page. It's as if there is an invisible border that goes down from top to bottom of the document. This is so strange and I've no clue why? ....help! :-)
How do you make hanging paragraphs?
How do you set the margins and landscape/portrait?
Go to Format -> Page Style..., or right-click the page and select the Page Style... option. In that dialog, select the "Page" tab if it's not already selected. The orientation & margin options are in that tab.
I am 66 and learning...thank you very much.....!!!
Thank you so much. Do another vid3o on same topic, but use only main toolbar settings not formatting toolbar options. Please.
Nice video. I must admit to using WPS (...I know, shoot me) but that's through laziness and not taking the time to give LibreOffice a fair chance. Older version in my distro (Debian) so I'll take a look at the snap.
Thanks for this! Sounds good! can I have two languages? I'd like to be able to write in English and French.
Help! Somehow my documents are "read only" Help me fix it so I can print. Please.
I am no expert, try `saveas` then give it another name.
Great video, very quick, concise and to the point. Thanks.
This is all good. but the point is the Visual Basic for Application Problem. Companys have a lot of Macros based on the VBA and when I am right, the Staroffice Basic and VBA are not compatible together. (Libre Office was the same as Staroffice BACK TO ROOTS. So the answer to the Macro Problem is open. and do nopt tell me you can create a Macro. Mercedes Benz have more than 12.000 Macros to changed if he will changed the Software. Also all SDK work with SAP, Oracle, MSSQL Server and moree had to be changed. The cost of the new developement was very expensive.
Great video! How do you change your toolbar color? I can modify background color but can't find the toolbar portion.
lol I'm like Scott jones I'm in my 50's I've learned M.S word , you blew my mind I wondered what Libre office was and you are right it's the same difference is M.S. wants $70.00 thank you this was great to know there are more options not everybody can just throw money around.
How do I send a document from Libre to my e-mail address
can you help me make a flyer using libra office writer?
Very good overview. I am a home user migrating from MS Office on Windows 11. Viewed this earlier when I installed Libreoffice V7.3. Now am on to V7.4. I viewed this again today and learned a lot more about using Writer. Thanks for the help
I'm late to the party - all the comments are 3 years old.!! I just discovered this. I'm looking for help in editing a pdf document using LibreOffice Draw. I've updated my version but to me the app is still acting wonky and I'm looking for assistance.
Tell me about "Paste special " feature....?
Thanks from egypt
All in I need in one video. very nice
Can you use this to write novels and can you upload it to as an e-book to publish in kindle?
I learned old DOS word processors back in the day and used WordPerfect quite a bit. I've been using Microsoft products off and on since then and of course font/text/color/bold etc. are options found even on web platforms. I used Open Office too but here's the thing. I'm not a power user or even a frequent user of word processors but Writer is not intuitive in the least it's UI many times is contradictory often opting for the hidden default than the offered options. This may be a symptom of open source development but still a major draw back. Just a quick example : You want to download and print the quick reference sheet they offer in their help section. You do, doesn't fit wasted ink and kind of irritating that you didn't pay attention it seem ok in the tiny preview window but totally user error can't expect it to just correct my errors automatically or even prompt me of an incompatibility right? So, lets try again. Preview looks good let's take a closer look. Oh I see it's trying to print to A4 and my printer is loaded with letter size, drop down box select and print. What no change... Let's look online come across this great video but need to keep looking, then some testy power users on a forum degrade someone inquiring about the same issue I'm suffering from. The solution is that the option to change the layout when you print is ignored and you need to know that you need to change the layout on the page setup hmmm? Guess need to be part of the clic to get that memo.
hi thank for the tutorial

Thank You so much sir. because you are spreading open source software. My question is that I am preparing an Urdu book (right to left language) which has lots of footnotes, but footnote separator is showing in the left side of the footer(because of roman language system of writing).
