Styles and Formatting Not Working

users
#1

As I have written in my first question, I use Windows 8.1.

Complying with Tom's advice, I uninstalled LibreOffice 4.3.5.2, and I got
back Styes and Formatting.

In order to be sure, I uninstalled 4.3.5.2 and installed 4.3.6.2. The
Styles and Formatting remained with 4.3.6.2.

I uninstalled 4.3.6.2 and installed 4.4.0.3. Then I lost the Styles and
Formatting. I uninstalled 4.4.0.3 and installed the lastest version,
4.4.1.2. The Styles and Formatting remained lost.

Then, I uninstalled 4.4.1.2 and installed 4.4.0.3. The Styles and
Formatting was not there.

Finally, I uninstalled 4.4.0.3, and installed 4.3.6.2. I got back the
Styles and Formatting.

So I will stick with 4.3.6.2.

There seems to be a problem with 4.4.0.3 and 4.4.1.2.

Thank you -- Brian, Tom, and Tony -- for your help.

Hi :slight_smile:
Wow!!! Nicely done!

Is there any chance you can go even further and post a bug-report? Someone
else might be able to do it for you but it sounds like you now have tons of
experience with the issue and might be able to answer any of the devs or QA
Team's questions quite quickly without even spending too much time on
them.

Many, many thanks and regards from
Tom :slight_smile:

No bug, the Styles and Formatting dialog window was removed for the 4.4
release.

It is now only present as a Content panel in the Sidebar Deck. The F11 key,
or Styles & Formatting button, will open the content panel in the Sidebar.

Sidebar opens by default to the Properties panel, but should toggle to the
Styles and Formatting panel when accelerator or the toolbar button is used.

*Thank you very much for the info.*

*I uninstalled LibreOffice 4.3.6.2 and installed 4.4.0.3. Then I installed
4.4.1.2.*

*I found the Styles and Formatting on the left side of the Toolbar. But
when I clicked the Styles and Formatting, nothing happened.*

*When I clicked F11 on the keyboard, nothing happened.*

*So, I was unable to use Styles and Formatting as I did before.*

*So, how can I use it as before?*

*If I cannot use it as before, is it the case of "newer things are not
necessarily better"?*

*If I cannot use it as before, I should uninstall 4.4.1.2 and go back to
4.3.6.2.*

With any module opened--Writer for example-- from the Main menu, check
enable the View --> Sidebar feature.

Default docked position will be on the left side of frame.

The Styles and Formatting Content panel is the second Tab button under
Properties.

The Sidebar can be undocked from the right side and float. Or it can be
docked left side.

If you are not seeing the Styles and Formatting content panel in the Sidebar
that would be a real problem suggesting configuration errors needing a clean
user profile, and maybe another round of installation.

So, make sure the Sidebar feature is checked active. Also, that it is not
collapsed onto the right margin (unchecking and checking from the View menu
should open it).

Post back if having done that you do not see the Sidebar with the Styles and
Properties panel.

Sorry, bit of a typo there regards default position of Sidebar...

s/docked position will be on the left side /docked position will be on the
right side/
