I guess that the communal machine has some restrictions for software installation, else, why the hassle?

Since FEB-2024, Google implemented changes that broke the forum mail system. The consequence is that no mail at all is sent to Gmail accounts by the forum anymore (registration mail and any notification about replies in topics or PM or even mail sent from the forum interface with the contact button)...

Set the blank paragraph below the table to font size 2 (the minimum).
Or set the font properties of that blank paragraph to hidden to hide it completely.

How do you transfer the text exactly? From your machine to the communal one, there must something.
The best would be to export your file as a PDF and then print that file on the communal machine.

Now I need to determine if I want to switch and the impact to the users. Honestly, it's worth the switch. The interface is almost the same but more features in LO. The only attention point would be macros. If you have old macros made in AOO, then they may have to be adjusted because there was a cha...

Are you sure that the page is not configured with 3 columns?
The page must be 1 column and then you add a section with 3 columns.

Have you tried to reset your OpenOffice user profile?

Then can you upload a screenshot of what your screen looks like?
See How to attach a document here). Crop your screenshot so that it takes less than 128KBi.

Here is my menu in LibreOffice:

Not sure printing in mere 2 blocks will do. Because if I understand correctly, it has to be 2 hard cover books, meaning a cover page for both, to have 2 "different" books. A part 1 and a part 2. I think that the question is rather: should the pages in part 2 follow the numbering of the par...

It should be a setting of the default language through the AutoCorrect options.

If there is a page break between the 2 halves, then deleting the first half should not impact the second one. Except for page numbering but it can be fixed with the page style setting.
Try and tell us what remains to be fixed. Do that on a copy of your book of course.

If your problem is in the page numbering, see: [Tutorial] Page numbering.

Hi and welcome to the forum! The context is not clear. If you switched back to edit mode, then why having been in read-only mode? Or was it an attachment opened from your mail client thus at first in raed-only. You can check for backups in the /backup folder of your user profile, maybe there is stil...

Well, no problem with adding a pic without messing the wall slide with LO 7.6.5.2.

I don't think I ever had this problem with AOO. Maybe a regression in the latest version(s). You could try LibreOffice. It is under much active development and do better. You won't be lost, it's almost the same interface. See also [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some ...

By showing that you don't even remember your own questions and taking no care of where you post, you just make a fool of yourself.
The best way to prevent both of us from wasting more time (despite my providing an answer that was satisfying a couple of years ago) is to ban you.
Bye.

Well, that deserves another thread.
Have you managed to add the Java environment as explained in previous posts?
It is done inside OpenOffice and you just need to provide OpenOffice the path to the folder.

It must have been a bug of the daylight saving time change.
Maybe all the code has vanished during that event.

Excellent! WYSIWYG-WABIT is a nice one.
Well done, it really made my day.
Thanks robleyd for letting us know.
