Libre Office 25.2-My First Visit-I won't use it.

On second thought, I decided to try LibreOffice 25.2 again as a learning exercise to get the hang of Title and Page Style without importing any word document from AbiWord and then re-examine the file under to see how many Macros for s single page layout.

I lost all my latest copies of my books yesterday, in one full swing. I am happy to say I recovered all my book files.

Then for the sake of scientific study, I looked at the Macros in new version ant there are lot of them. Top, bottom header, footer, margin and number placement etc are I think done by global macros. Whether you like or not they are placed in every page and one does not get a blank page or blank sheet to get the feel of like A4 Paper.

I took my book on Dogs which has not yet matured by had only 125 pages. 

I want to make it 150 or so.

I want to finish it after Trump and Putin meeting in Alaska and I am going to have an account on Alaskan dogs, for change. I think or wolves from Alaska become dogs to being with. 

Historically it is worth revising.

Coming to my discussion on LibreOffice the book I had Abiword was 125 pages but in LibreOffice it was 175 pages or more due to page adjustments.

I you do not have enough in your next book, the way to add to the number of pages is not by increasing the fonts but by adjusting the the page format liberally with Macros.

I won't try my book on Essentials in Linux on LibreOffice it would become at least 700 pages or maore.

It is already 416 pages with AbiWord.

 

First the plus point.

LibreOffice 25.2 in Debian is much sleeker than it was before. I revisited it after a very along time and to me the feel is much better.

It recognizes Abiword .abi files

Thank You.

I uploaded one of my working books on Dogs with 180 pages.

It did not figure out Abiword file without Macros.

It added Macros and made a hash of things.

For about half an hour I tried to get the pages format right and uploaded it as a pdf file and it got Everything WRONG in page format. 

In AboiWord, I can edit the pdf file live if it was linked to the original AbiWord file.

I get both the pdf file and the original file ready for publication at Amazion books without a hassle.

Well I won't use LibreOffice until I die.

AbiWord is the perfect page format correct and refine Word Processor.

What else one needs?
