Re: [libreoffice-users] My computer | Text off centre & over-large

Hi there Tricia, good to see you here.

The good fellows at Shaw|your computer store knew enough to load a 
substitute for MS Office that didn't cost you anything. They put you on 
the right road.
There isn't "a number to phone" and don't wait for a call because the 
price of LibreOffice - zero - doesn't pay for telephone lines.
You are working with a product created by people who work hard and smart 
and for free so that people like you and me can benefit.

Your email has arrived at an online community of fellow users, some of 
whom have lots of tech savvy, some also just use LibreOffice for email 
and writing books. No money changes hands. We have a few regulars who 
labor for love.
It's handy to consult FAQ's and previous discussions because a few have 
dealt with the special needs that authors have.

With regards to characters that are over large, is this confined to 
LibreOffice, or possibly a screen display setting? If LibreOffice, is 
everything over-large? Check the slide at the far bottom right of the 
status bar. If pulled to the right, that magnifies the screen. if just 
on the page, possibly text became headings, and you want to revert them 
to default or play around with styles. It's not always easy to describe 
(or answer) a problem when all you see are the symptoms, so taking a 
screenshot (Ctril - PrtSc) and saving it as a pic can show us what you 
are seeing.

It's not yet clear if you are dealing with a software bug or a user 
situation. Either way, you are welcome to ask more questions because we 
know that in time you will pay it forward.

regards
Errol
