![]() The white area marks the main text region on the sheet, and the grey area marks the margin regions. On the ruler there's a grey area at either end, and white in the middle. The ruler at the top edge of the document pane has a few markers to modify indents, and you can use them for list formatting. Typing your own list point markers (numbering, letters, bullet characters, etc.) See the preview pane for a rough view of the result. Adjust indent and spacing to text to suit your taste.Select menu item Format - Bullets and numbering.To format existing lists, first select the entire list. Note that the changes suggested here affect the selected paragraph(s) only. It would be nice if one could, and perhaps one can, be able to pick a format and then override it at will with out messing stuff up and confusing the program.You can. If you want text to line up, set "first line" to zero.ĭan wrote: It seems like the list formatting might be a bit rigid especially when I m not sure my self what I want things to look like till I start typing them up. The "before text" and "after text" settings are what you want. To have the style wrap the lines for you, set the spacing on the Indents & Spacing tab. When you click OK the changes will be applied automatically to all Numbering 1 styles (or List 1). If you don't like how Numbering 1 (or List 1) paragraph style looks, just right-click on it in the Stylist and choose Modify. These styles are set up to indent the second line to line up with the starting text of the first line. Double-click on it, which applies it to all the selected paragraphs. Look for the Numbering 1 style (or List 1 if you want bullets instead). Open the Stylist (Styles and Formatting) with F11. When all the list items are typed out, click and drag to select all the list paragraphs. (Later you might see how you don't actually need to do this if all you want is for the line to wrap you can set the paragraph style to do it for you.) ![]() Just type out your list in regular paragraph format first, using shift+enter at the end of lines that you want to keep together in one list item. It would be nice if one could, and perhaps one can, be able to pick a format and then override it at will with out messing stuff up and confusing the program. Select the items that Writer has numbered and click the "Numbering On/Off" button on the toolbar a few times until all the automatic stuff is gone.ĭan wrote:It seems like the list formatting might be a bit rigid especially when I m not sure my self what I want things to look like till I start typing them up. ![]() If that has already happened and you have "extra" numbers that you can't delete with a backspace, then you'll need to remove the automatic list formatting. PS: dan: The AutoFormat=OFF setting is to prevent Writer from recognizing your numbering and "taking over" to make an automatic list. Writer's design is not good for people who insist on formatting their text using the space bar, and believe me, there are a lot of them-including my wife, so don't take it as a criticism. If you change the paragraph margins so that the line wrap occurs somewhere else, then the spaces will magically appear. The space bar is working, the space characters are present in the file, but they are not displayed. You have to have a line (or paragraph) break in order for the spaces to be displayed. In that case, Writer does not display "extra" spaces at the end (or beginning) of a line. Then you will understand just how wrong it is to try and format text this It's not double spaces that's causing the problem-at least as I understand it it's the way Writer behaves when text is wrapped automatically. Close the Frame dialog, move the frame to place the address where you want it to be (the frame can cover part of the name), then right-click the frame and select Wrap > In Background.I am a carpenter we hammer nails with our saws all the time. ![]() On the Frame dialog, click the Wrap tab and select "Through". I don't think that's possible without putting the address in a frame. The line containing your address would have to overlap the line containing your name. I am looking to see if there is any way that I can move it up to fit there. I got it to where the tail of the y comes down a little further and ****I want to have my address and contact info on the right side of the tail and under Beth and Smith in one line Say for instance my name is Mary Beth Smith I can deal with what I have to work with but my life would be a lot easier if I knew how to decrease the amount of space between two lines. I need to have a great looking resume if at all possible. I'm unemployed and doing my resume to apply for marketing positions.
