LibreOffice 5 // Yes ? No ?

Did they ever put thumbnails on the *Writer* section ? I can't get them on my current version.
Do you mean to save thumbnails with documents? ...check this: Tools/Options.../LibreOffice/Advanced/Expert Configuration/Look for property 'GenerateThumbnail'...

Mine has this set to true, but it only seems to work with ODT files, not DOCX (on my Win10 system anyway)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm using ODT...I will check when home for DOCX on Win 7...

Not really. I want to have the thumbnails on the left, similar to the way that *Impress* lets me see the slides in a small form. Holy smoke ! There are a zillion of those. Okay, found it, and it is set to true. Duh, I'll try to install Version 5

It can be that OG is right (even most unlikely :-)) and it works only for ODT...

Yes, the file is ODT

I'm using Version 5.1.0.3, and it's pretty damn good. I swapped to Libre after I had to reinstall Win10 from scratch, and MS refused to accept my Office 2010 installation (that came with the PC and I hated it anyway, except for Excel and Outlook) Works well - it's less disjointed than Office and I haven't found anything it didn't cope with.

I have installed Office 2010 on about 3 installations in the six years since I got it, one after the other. When MS refuses to activate it, they give you a number to call. The computer will ask you to confirm you are only installing it on one machine, then give you a new activation code. Have you tried this?
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

No, I was just well and truly elephanted off by then - the only reason I was doing a clean install was that a Windows 10 update had disconnected my network and wouldn't let me have it back - so I thought I'd try Live Mail and Libre Office instead of Outlook and MS Office. Works fine, so why go back to something that annoys me every time I need to write a document? :laugh:

Initial versions of LibreOffice 5 (on Linux at least) were really buggy for me. Frequent crashes, strange formatting decisions. So I put off upgrading. Been running the most recent 5 stable release chain for a week or two now. Nothing to complain about so far. They must have hammered most of the issues. Currently running 5.0.5.2 now. I would certainly try it out first and see how you go.

I am not a heavy user, but it but it works well. My only beef is with their ugliest graphic symbols & icons of their toolbars. Complete lack the graphic finesse unlike MS, and their meaning is totally incomprehensible.
First used it today. Nice, really nice. Choosing the default font for a given part of the program was (really, still is) a mystery, but I think I may have guessed it. It certainly isn't obvious. But then, the price makes the value approach infinity, so, when I get rich I'll devote myself to writing code on the team. So far, one complaint:
ALT-F
does nothing. I have to press
ALT
then let go, then wait an indeterminate amount of time, then press
F
I suppose it's the same with all the other menu items.
