[Solved] Pages display side by side on screen

Post by joyceporter »

Please help. I don't know what I did, but all my documents are displaying with the pages side by side instead of consecutively, which makes them very hard to read and edit. I just want a normal display. Thanks if you can help.

Make sure the menu item View -> Status Bar is selected. The status bar is along the bottom of the Writer window. Near its right end there are three small icons showing page layouts. Click the single page.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date AOO Writer for Students and the Writer User Guide. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.

Press F1 to access the Help screen and search for your problem

The chapter headings in the manual are:

1 - Introducing Writer
2 - Setting up Writer
3 - Working with Text
4 - Formatting Pages
5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing and E-Mailing
6 - Introduction to Styles
7 - Working with Styles
8 - Working with Graphics
9 - Working with Tables
10 - Working with Templates
11 - Using Mail Merge
12 - Tables of Contents, Indexes and Bibliographies
13 - Working with Master Documents
14 - Working with Fields
15 - Using Forms in Writer
16 - Customizing Writer – Keyboard shortcuts.

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
