[Solved] Grumble, Grumble. Can't Hide Sheets.

Post by daveg7 »

Just for discussion, and not necessarily trying to solve anything, I can't find on the menu of tabs on the bottom how to hide sheets.

Inconvenient, to say the least.

LibreOffice provides a context menu entry for this.
In AOO:
F1
[Index]
hid

In OpenOffice, select sheet, then /Format /Sheet /Hide; this may also work on LibreOffice (untested).
 Edit: Does not work on LibreOffice - see Lupp's posting (next in thread)

Not quite. In recent versions of LibO Calc there is no longer access to commands concerning hiding or showing sheets via the main menu item 'Format'.
Calc now has a main menu item 'Sheet' where many single commands and aslo submenus are collected. There you find 'Hide' and 'Show' if applicable.
A similar access is offered (as already mentioned) by the context menu of sheet tabs.

In addition there is the ribbonesque 'Toolbar Layout' 'Notebookbar' (aka "Muffin") for some time now in LibO. It doesn't seem many users prefer it to date. Otherwise I am afraid we will have to multiply our answers if the handling is concerned.

Thanks, Lupp. I don't use LibreOffice so am not familiar with any changes.
