Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: spacing after punctuation

Glad to be of help.

As someone else noted, there is a more updated Typography Toolbar at the LO 
extension website. The link I previously gave was to an older version.

The newer version can be found at:

http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/typography-toolbar

LO and Linux Libertine G have really gelled nicely together.

... this really neat tool!  Many, many thanks for bringing it to my
attention, Virgil. (I stayed up way too late last night experimenting
with it!)


I think this tool should be built into LO. It is a lot more useful
than some of the extensions which are already automatically included.
