Libreoffice 24.8 Release Notes (wiki.documentfoundation.org)

Basically, title. What I'm trying to do is: have each chapter start with page 1. My chapters are marked as Heading 1 paragraphs. If I change Heading 1 style to «Insert, Pagea break, Before, With default page style, Page number 1», and add a Heading 1 paragraph, it indeed inserts an automatic page break before itself and starts on a new page with default page style, but page number is not set to 1: the numbering continues from previous chapter.

If I do Ctrl+Enter and set the exact same settings to a manual page break, the new page will start from a page number 1. The problem with this is that I would prefer to not do this manually, it is error prone, easy to forget or mess up, and in general I want to set up my styles so that everything is handled automatically without any direct/manual formatting.

Can anyone reproduce this issue?

There are many cases when people might want to have a dropdown list of the other entered values in a column.

And the ability to prohibit entering others.

Classic one: entering yes, no, maybe.

These are not boolean, but discrete, and others should not be allowed.

Do you know how to do that?

Answer

source

select your range D25:D99, then menu Data->Validity In dialogue Validity select from drop-down list variant “Cell range”, and bottom set “Source” (your H3:H25) Push OK

Here is an example.

When my cursor is right below a pasted image and I press enter, the image moves down with the cursor. How do I permanently stop this?

Hello!

I am very new to LibreOffice and I am trying to adjust and explore it. I have searched this question online but I can’t seem to find an answer to how I can sync LibreOffice works with iCloud? I have installed Collabora office, but I have no idea how to sync that with LibreOffice either… anybody up for teaching a newcomer?

Cheers!

This is the first version of LibreOffice to use Calendar Versioning, and it also comes with numerous updates and changes. See the blog post for details.

I have a document, and I like the way Wikipedia formats references: with numbers in square brackets (ex: [4]). I have found how to enable them to show up as such in the document, but the bibliography panel in the document doesn't show the numbers. How do I make the square bracket tags show up in the bibliography section in a document?
