Hi :slight_smile:
Hmm, now that i think about it this is more of a question for Kubuntu
forums!

I tried LibreOffice dialogues and native Kubuntu ones and neither has the
tick-box that is usually easy to find on Windows. As a work-around i can
do printing from a Windows machine but i'd quite like to print from
reception too.

Er, what type of document?

If it's a text document, you'd probably want to tinker with the layout manually.

If it's a spreadsheet, how about Format | Page... | Sheet | Scale | Scaling mode | Fit print range(s) on number of pages?

I trust this helps.

In Impress I can connect two objects with "connectors". This is lines which follows the figures when moving them in opposite to ordinary lines. But there are also "line connectors". I am not able to find any difference between these two connectors. Are they different? If they are, in what way?
In my version of LibreOffice, 4.3, only the "connectors" shows up in the drop down menu, not the "line connectors".
I found the "line connectors" in the Impress guide (4.2) and in the UI 4.3 text files (UI.po).

Surely you can see what sort of thing happens simply by trying out the various forms and dragging the connected items around? The standard connector appears to use only horizontal and vertical element, whereas the line connector allows diagonal elements.

o Click the down-arrow next to the Connector icon in the Drawing toolbar to bring up the Connectors toolbar.
o Drag the toolbar off its parent using the bar at its base.
o Click the down-arrow in the Connectors toolbar and use Visible Buttons > or Customise Toolbar... to vary the options shown. Note that Straight and Curved Connectors are also available.

Alternatively, right-click an existing connector and go to Connector... . You can change the type there, as well as making detailed modifications.

I trust this helps.

Yes, I found these after sending my mail but did not discover the difference between the two connector types.

I trust this helps.

Yes, thank you.

i couldn't find it in the release notes
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.3
but experimentation surely helps figure it out.

Hi :slight_smile:
It's normally a good place to look for notes on new or improved
functionality but in this case i think it's lacking. I'm surprised this
doesnt happen more often because LibreOffice develops so fast it's hard to
keep up.

Brian's emailed notes seem to be better.
