When you say "on top of" do you mean that 3.4 is still installed?
Try uninstalling 3.4, re-boot and then installing 3.6

What do you mean by 'white lines'?
 
 
Is this underlining within the text?
 
 
Are these lines borders?
 
 
Is it acutally in the text, or is possibly a 'picture' within the text?

It is in the text and I think they put two paragraph marks at the end of
each paragraph. In MSO I can remove those bij finding ^p^p and replacing it
by ^p.

Take a look to this extension:

http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer.

I think can help to do what you need.

A white line is a blank line between paragraphs.

In Libre Office you can delete them all with find and replace (making
sure “regular expressions” is selected). Find ^$ (just those two
characters) and replace all with nothing (i.e. no characters in the
“replace” box).

      Writer uses Regular expressions and the Find and Replace dialog to do this. Help has a list of regular expressions.
1. Open Find and Replace.
2. Click the "More Options" button
3. Check the box "Regular expressions"
4. Enter ^$ into the Search box.
5. Make sure that the "Replace with" box is empty (erase anything found it it.)
5. Click the "Replace All" button.
      With the regular expressions that Writer uses, ^ requires that the search item (used with ^) must be at the beginning of a paragraph; $ requires that the search item (used with $) must be at the end of a paragraph. By using the combination of ^$ with nothing between the two means that you are looking for paragraphs that have nothing between the beginning and ending of each one of them (which are empty paragraphs).

A blank line does not have to be an empty line. (^$)

A blank line (as perceived by the human eye) can have spaces, tabs and/or other non-printing characters in it. (^ $).

A blank line may actually be nothing more than space added by a particular style and therefore not subject to regular expressions.

A blank line may actually be a picture placeholder.

Further, there's no telling if she has changed the background color and is talking about white underlines. I doubt it, but the possibility exists.

She's been instructed on how to handle all of these situations by various people, except perhaps the placeholder. I doubt that's her issue.

At this point, she either needs to provide more info. or let someone see her document.

Considering she hasn't bothered to respond to anybody's suggestions that I've noticed, it makes one wonder whether she's listening or just talking.

Carla,

Out of the many suggestions already provided to you, which ones have you tried and what were the results?

Have you:
1) Checked off (ticked) the regular expressions box?
2) Tried using the ^$ suggestion?
3) Tried using my all inclusive white space suggestion [:cntrl:] ?
4) Tried using the "styles" suggestion?

What were the results for each?

There is a 99% possibility it's one of the above. You've already been given your answer, why are you ignoring them?

#13

I am listening, but I didn't know there was a difference between a blank
line and a white line. Might be because English is my second language. I
understand now that a blank line can have information one doesn't see.
I stll think I want to remove the white lines. I think that they put the
white lines between paragraphs to make reading easier for some people, but
it doesn't make reading easier for me,

Carla
