Re: [libreoffice-users] some text not printing

Doug,
    I used to use WordPerfect [first the Novel product, and then the 
Corel, after they'd obtained it], so I am aware of the type of feature 
you are referring to, though I cannot find it in LO, at all.
    As to your second suggestion, I own two scanners, but neither will 
do anything at all connected to my Ubuntu Gnu/Linux Box (I guess I'm 
just lucky that way) need a good list somewhere - like the open printing 
list that indicates which are excellent, good, fair, and useless in the 
scanner world. Seems these two I have are - so far as Linux is 
concerned, just good as door-stops.
    Thank you so much for your helpful comments.
George
