@garryknight Hi! You can attach problematic documents to a bug report here for the QA community to investigate: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org

@Mehrad If more people would help the volunteers behind LibreOffice, or fund certified developers, we could have that bug fixed much more quickly. Unfortunately, very few people help out, so we have extremely limited resources. We can't make things happen by magic I'm afraid...

Thanks for your donations to @tdforg, the non-profit behind LibreOffice! Here's what they helped us to achieve in 2020. Support us this year, and let's make it another great one for our LibreOffice projects and communities: https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/

@Divert Hi, it's also on Peertube here: https://peertube.opencloud.lu/videos/watch/38ac180b-62b5-44b7-b649-74c7efe05758 – We were just sharing the YouTube version then as it has all the subtitles

@sagir42 Thanks!

@devinprater English subtitles are available, which describe what's being shown on the screen – do they help?

New features in LibreOffice 7.1 - this video has subtitle translations in 17 languages, thanks to our awesome localisation volunteers! Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Kurdish, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Slovenian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Welsh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLutwM8XKvo

@devinprater Hi Devin, does any of the info here help: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility/Accessibility-dev#Orca

How time flies! Nine years ago, The Document Foundation was registered in Berlin as the non-profit home of LibreOffice. A huge thanks to all our members, contributors and supporters over the years – you've helped our projects achieve awesome things! https://www.documentfoundation.org 🙂👍

New feature coming to LibreOffice thanks to Miklos Vajna @CollaboraOffice: gutter margins in Writer. These define the amount of extra space added to the specified margin (typically left), above any existing margin values: https://vmiklos.hu/blog/sw-gutter-margin.html

LibreOffice has extensive documentation in many languages – but it doesn't just happen by magic. It's created and maintained by a worldwide community – and you can join them, and build up your skills! Learn how Steve Fanning got involved: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/02/15/community-member-monday-steve-fanning/

LibreOffice is free software - but that's means more than just zero cost. It's about having the freedom to use, study, change and share the software.

@Mehrad Glad it you like it! And re: it should've happened 10 years ago – well it would have done, if someone had stepped up to implement it. But nobody did! We're a volunteer-driven, community open source project with very limited resources. We can't make features happen by magic – we need help!
