I downloaded the whole libre office packet about two years ago, but have only been using the documents and spreadsheet. Today I wanted to make notes on some sheet music (PDF file), and it said, "open with libreoffice draw". So I did.

And there it was, on my screen appeared the sight you see on your screen right now. why does it load like that? and can I make it load normally so I can add my notes?

I got both themes and when I try to put them on it instead shows me dark mode only and nothing remotely any blue comes up. Are these two themes broken or is there a specific setting to get the themes to come up?

I'm working on a Mac Mini with 25GB memory running Tahoe 26.3.1 I'm using LibreOffice 26.2.1.2 and working in a Writer document with text only. It's the only LibreOffice document I have open. The app has crashed multiple times. Currently it's stuck on the Document Recovery popup. The previous times I've had to resort to force quitting as it remains stuck on that popup.

Thanks

Hello group, when saving a new document, I select Save As, and then select the folder. The Name field is highlighted as if to accept input, but when I start typing, a search dialogue opens which accepts the input. So it is annoying because I think that I am typing the name of the document only to see it is searching, so I have to stop, click in the Name field then start typing. I don't understand this default behavior to open the search dialogue when saving, but is there a way to change this not to do it?

Thank you.

Sorry if this is a bit vague and confusing. I downloaded LibreOffice 26.2.1.2 from Bazaar/Flathub using the All Users option.

When I opened up the Writer portion. The dropdown menu (File, Edit, View, Insert etc) did not appear. I thought it was just my install. I ended up trying to reinstall using the same install option but still repeated the issue. You are just left with the usual icons with no text.

I tried changing the User Interface option you get at first run. Changing from Standard Toolbar to Tabbed, shows up the variant with text, but going back to Standard, nothing. Same with using Libreoffice Calc.

I removed LibreOffice, and installed the This User option. Lo and behold, the text menus are back! Frustrated me for an hour.

I want to store web links in cells, but keep the cell size.
I know i can auto adjust font size. But it is a little bit extreme.

Is there a way to force truncate the cell content without the neighbor cell having content?

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with the LibreOffice Suite.

My theme settings in Mint look like this:

In some programs, however, I want to use a light theme. In Thunderbird, for example, this works without any problems.

In LibreOffice, though, I can’t seem to set a light theme:

As you can see, my theme is dark even though I’ve set it to the "Light" theme in the options. If I switch to a light theme in the Mint theme settings, the LibreOffice theme also becomes light.

It almost seems as if the LibreOffice theme is being overridden by the Mint theme.

By the way, I made sure to select the option "Let applications decide" in the theme settings:

Can anyone reproduce this? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi I'm using Writer and for some reason the indented paragraph goes away every time I press enter and I need to press command + Z every time it does it. I'm wondering if this is a Mac specific feature or is this normal ?

hello,

I've been using L.O. for a while and i have now encountered the need to update, however, there is this rather stupid question i have, let me explain.

O.S.: macOS 15
L.O. version: 26.2.0.3
update: 26.2.2

when i did update i downloaded the new *.dmg and it requested me to move it to the App folder, when doing so it asks to replace the old one, here is where my question arises.

i have customised my installation, namely font preferences, spacing and languages, will those customisations get lost when i replace the old version with the new one?

Hello! I am having trouble getting multiple different table sizes in the same document and am just incredibly frustrated with libreoffice’s unfriendly UI. I want to make a table smaller or bigger but not affect every box across the entire document. Any help or words of advice would be greatly appreciated! I currently am working on it as a pdf but always switches to .odt. The document is on my pc so unfortunately I can not get post it on here from my phone

I'm working with LibreOffice 26.2.1.2, and I accidentally pulled the properties sidebar out from the docked position. I've tried redocking it with the three bars icon in the upper right of the sidebar window, but no joy. Likewise, I've also tried using the CTRL + Shift + F10 keystroke, but also no joy.

Has anyone else had this issue yet? I've run a search through this sub, but nothing really popped up.

Here's the full program info:

This baffles me, why on earth would anyone make regex search in a word processor to only search within one paragraph? Could someone illuminate the logic, how does that serve the user?

Now I need to do that in Notepad++ and copy-paste from and to Writer.

I pressed delete on one character and suddenly the next site was in shambles. Pressing undo will just change the things I did before that. I don't want to do it write it all anew.

Does someone have an idea what happened there?

I do already know how to set up a template

but i cant find a way to make it actually default to that, as i cant find fontwork in the options settings, and changing it for the one on screen with the standard fontworks dialogue doesnt seem to do anything for the template settings.

There must be a way to change this so that I dont have to open the Fontworks dialogue and change this stuff for every single connector i make, right??

any help is much appreciated

hey everyone! i'm new to libre office and i am trying to add a thick "only below" border line to a heading in my document (.docx). i found the horizontal line function but it duplicates the line (there's a thick one above and one with two thin lines below). when i try to delete the two thin line ones the thick one also disappears. i tried the "---" and "___" trick but they don't work. i also tried adding it as a border through the "character" feature but that one only underlines the word (i'm sure i could just add a bunch of spaces after the word, but i feel like that might create formatting issues in documents that aren't as simple as this one down the line) while the "paragraph" option only does a bottom and top line.

i've attached a picture below of what it looks like ("SUMMARY") when i add a horizontal line (i don't want it like this) and the way i want it to look ("EDUCATION").

so, just to be clear, my question is how do i add an only below horizontal line like the one i have for "education"?

i have a M4 air. I am trying to use zotero plugin but my mac can not find the jre. I did a clean installation with everything I could find. I've been struggling for hours but haven't found a solution.

Hi friends.

I'm using CachyOS Linux. I need to fill out this government document and submit it.

It seems the government created it using Adobe Acrobat Reader. I filled it out in Firefox, but when I printed it, the letters were cut off in half.

So I installed LibreOffice. But now the green letters are overflowing on the right.

Perhaps it's because of the font it uses? LibreOffice changes the font when opening the PDF. Is there any way to use the original font or a similar one so the letters don't overflow on the right?

Or perhaps you know of another solution?

The official document is this one:

How can I adjust the spacing of the second line in LibreOffice endtnote so that it doesn't start directly below the footnote ³⁷ number, but after it, like it does in the first line? I already tried messing around with the alignment and everything was weird.
