![]() Most, but not all, Word default settings are saved in the normal.dotm template. ![]() On top of all that, there’s other personal configuration items like Ribbon, AutoText and Building Blocks that have to be saved somewhere. All the basic styles (Normal, Heading 1 etc.) need a font, font size, justification and a myriad of other adjustments. It might not have any visible text, but Word has to know what page size to use and many other basic settings. (I have another question but I will start a new post as per the rules.After all, a ‘blank’ document isn’t really blank. It’s also a way of making the change that is unlikely to undergo issues with future upgrades of Libre, which I already experienced when trying to use the extension “Template Changer” after the latest upgrade but it no longer worked the same way. This detaches Text and all dependent styles from Caption to make it an independent tree (with Italic setting no longer inherited from After spending more time with the program I have found that this is indeed the easiest way to make the change in the styles. In the Navigator side pane with Hierarchical view, you click on Text, drag it over Default Paragraph Style and drop it there. Again, thank you for the link.Ĭonsequently, the fix is easy once you’re familiar with hierarchical paragraph style structuring. It was just the RTF that had this styles problem. docx files easily and correctly and appears to accept my own style specs and style names just fine. odf (sp?), and followed a specific protocol for setting up Libre to look like Word and recognize my files- it opens my. Docx- all formatting is specified by the client according to international indexing standards and the client does the typesetting. I then do any last text massage and send it to the client as RTF or. Also fyi, I would never use a Word Processor to write an index- I use a massively powerful dedicated indexing program that alphabetizes everything for me according to my specifications and formats my specifications into an RTF. fyi, RTF is not a Word format, it is a universal format that was developed to be importable across platforms. I’m unable to understand your technical language about the styles. ![]() I downloaded the Writer Guide, thank you for the link.

Previously my (recently passed away) computer tech of 30 years had Word set up to always question RTFs by opening the “Convert File” box with RTF selected (I don’t remember why this was done, but it was important), is it possible to set up Libre to do the same? Or if it seriously shouldn’t matter, then that’s ok too. I need help to understand how I need to set up Libre to properly read RTFs. When I opened an existing RTF, it opened with everything in italics, including the text that was meant to be in italics. I use Mozilla browser and Thunderbird email. I use a standalone dedicated indexing program called Macrex (nothing to do with Mac, it stands for “Make an Index”). I’m testing Libre to ensure I can make the jump to the new system. I write book indexes for a living, and one of my clients still requires delivery in RTF.
