Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Ending a document
Yes I know of the Template site.
BUT, there are a lot of people out there that has some good ideas on how to do things that seem never to be a
part of an "official" template list.
The idea of making a master document that automatically combines sub-documents to make sure the
starting page of each sub-document/chapter starts on an odd page number - is something that others
might want to see and look at how it is done.
Then there are other documents "styles" I would love to see in template form. It does not have to have the
"template" three-character file name type either.
It is hard to find a lot of good complex ones that are not from MSO designs.
Some of us do not have time to figure out how to do some of these nice things, I have heard of,
with out time constraint. For me my last doctor's visit was telling me - in not so many words -
that I have to reduce the amount of time I am sitting at my desk dealing with this desktop. I wish
I had enough time to really get into reading all of the guides and manuals I have. I use to back
in the early 2000's.
So to really state it over again:
We need more people who find good solutions on how to do things, with their creation of "master documents"
for their type of documents, take their "finds" and place then in our LO template pages with a brief
explanation on what it will do for the user.
We need more and more solutions to be shared with the rest of us.
I have offered to help people create their own Spell Checking dictionaries for specialized topics.
I think those with the skill in creating documents should do their part in helping other as well.
I have not checked, YET, but it would be great to have some GOOD calendar templates for both monthly wall
calendars and every other type you can think of. I am creating a "special" wall calendar for a
group I belong to that shows the dates of every meeting for 2013, like I did for 2012, 2011, and 2010. That
way they will not have the excuse of not knowing when the next meeting is.

Hi :)
There is a Templates site with almost exactly the same name as the Extensions site. Whichever you
are on you might notice the tabs at the top to let you switch from Extensions to Templates or
vice-versa.

Tom :)

Hi all,
Is it the case that a document **must* *end with a paragraph mark. I am editing a publication which
is a master document and I would like to specify that for a given sub-document I wish to have
nothing below it on the page but when I insert a page break I am given another page with a blank
paragraph which I do not want. I am aware of the possibility of specifying that a document must
start a fresh page, but I have tried that in the past and introduced a non-deletable feature in the
master document.
Any thoughts?
Barry
Yes, all documents **must** end with a paragraph mark. Writer documents are written using XML. The
"markers" used to format the text are used in pairs. If there is a beginning of a paragraph, there
must be an ending of it. The paragraph markers only visually show you where the paragraphs begin and end.
I just created a master document from 4 chapters that I have. (Total pages: 212) In the
master document, nothing is below the end of a given chapter; the next chapter begins with on a new
page. And if the subdocument ended as an odd page in the master document, a blank page was added so
that the new chapter begins as an odd page.
How did you create the master document? If we had your steps, someone might be able to
discover what has to be done differently.

If this is not out of line, how about we get people to share their "favorite" master
document-templates with the rest of us. The trick of adding sub documents and automatically having the next
chapters start on an odd page is nice to know how to do.
There are a lot of people out there that have created master documents that could be used as
template-documents by others so that they do not have to figure out all the needed information on
their own.
Actually, I never did figure out how to make a master document that used sub-documents
[chapters/sections] using LO. I tried back in first year of using LO and then gave up. It seemed
easier to edit individual chapters/sections of a large document than edit a 50plus page one.
ALSO, as for ending a document, I always have one or two blank lines after my last paragraph of
text. That is what I was taught in college [and work] in thelate 80's and early 90's, so I never
got out of the habit of doing it.
