    Mandoleer got a reaction from walt.farrell in Can't get autoflow working (copying text from LibreOffice)   
    Sorted, ta muchly. What was making the frame elongate (slightly) was the red eye outside the frame. It turns into a sort of flying saucer banking steeply when the frame extends. It distracts one's attention from the tiny triangle which is the important thing. Maybe it's just me (quite possible - I am an awkward sod), but I think that triangle could do with enlarging. (I'm not the most awkward sod around - what I'm importing is an article by someone who wants it publishing as he created it. In a mix of Calibri Bold and Times Roman in the heading, and Helvetica for the text with the first page paragraphs starting with a space, but flush on p2. Our house font is Calibri, and we don't normally do centering by eye or the underlining of titles, and normally use justified text. I'm wondering if he will notice that his Helvetica will actually be Arial or Liberation Sans - as I don't have Helvetica on this machine and am not proposing to get it (over the road may have it on her Mac). They're both the same as Helvetica in area occupied. I've given him sample pages his way and our neat and clean Calibri house style. He prefers his. He can have it...) Again, thanks. I wish all support forums were as quick and to the point as this one.

    Thanks for that! And it's not just a doc by doc thing, either. I've now only got straight to typographic quotes left turned on. (I do need that one - most incoming material here is from people who wouldn't know one from t'other, but straight quotes look so typewriter these days, don't they....) 8-)

    Thanks very much. We've been having a brainstorming session and ended up creating a flock of templates (one of which got away, and was discovered roosting in the cloud...). The labels I refer to are ones for pasting onto things, not the self-adhesive Avery sort. (I use LibreOffice for those as I have to print most of them from a database.) These are printed in sheets on A4 and either hand guillotined by me or scissor cut by whoever. We can't print to the edge of the paper, and to allow for older machines we use 10 mm as a basic setting. (I'm still using an HP LaserJet 5P from the 1990s - I've had it nearly 20 years now). 20 mm gutter gives a safe 10 mm all round. We're feeling pleased with ourselves at the moment because we've taken a PP created file from XP and moved its contents into AP on a Mac and updated the info in it, and created new versions for new people (this is a double sided business card which was a bit of a b to set up in the first place for assorted reasons). Once again, thanks.
