jjk Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi all Is there (in Publisher) an easy way to move easily some paragraphs, particularly with lists ? For example I have this list : apples pears cherrys and I want to get apples cherrys pears Indeed lists can be larger. Of course I can select each paragraph with mouse then move them, but it is rather tedious to select a paragraph then move it exactly at the beginning of another paragraph. I'd want keyboard shortcut to do that. More : if I have lists with several levels, it would be better to move by one key one item and its sub-items. What do you think ?

jjk Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thank you Lagarto But I don't want sort lines, but move them in any order (sorry, my exemple was not clear).. And copy/pasting towards or from Word/LibreOffice loses attributes. Even bullets are lost so, all the more reason, hierarchy is no more respected. I believe that there is no good trick for my wish. Inside Publisher there is no way, and outside result is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjk Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Good work, Lagarto. But I want just a shortcut key (or an icon tool) to move a numbered paragraph up or down, including sub-items. Libreoffice has a tool to do that as soon as you are in a hierarchical or bulleted paragraph, MsWord also perhaps but I have not checked it.

My point then is that if/when we get scripting in Publisher a lot of things like that will be sorted out fairly easily.

No, not specific tool. As soon as you are in a bulleted list or a numbered title, LibreOffice displays a toolbar with all tools to move up/down the current item, with or without subitems. Check a list having paragraph style=bullet 1, or some titles having paragraph style=Title 1|2|... For titles, you have also to apply numbering of titles. lacerto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
