[Solved] AOO Writer index line pops up

Post by Sarabaer »

When I use Open Office Writer an index line pops up on my page showing page number and file name. How can I stop it?

If you mean that which shows as you use the scroll bar on the right vertical of the OO window, use /Tools /Options /Openoffice /View (Preferences : Options /OpenOffice /View on a Mac) and uncheck "Tips" under "Help"

Thank you - I have found the appropriate menu now, but there is no "Help" and therefore non "Tips".

It's in the OpenOffice section, General tab, then the Help section is on the right panel.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the edit button if your issue has been fixed.
