[opensuse] changing rtf document text size in libreoffice
Hello: I have an rtf (rich text format) document. If I open it with OOorg 3.1 or LO 3.4 the normal text font size is 10pt, and the sub/superscript font size is 8pt. I would like to increase normal font size to 12 and sub/superscript font size to 9 or 10. If I select the text and change the font size it changes all fonts without respecting sub/superscript's smaller sizes. I tried to change the text's style but it seems it is not possible to set normal and sub/superscript fonts for one style. Is it not possible to make this conversion in LO/OOo? To set again all sub/superscripts manually one by one would be really tedious.

I'm not convinced RTF supports "styles", in the sense that modern word processors support styles assigned to specific types of paragraphs by proxy, where you ahve a paragraph type (a number) and a style (font, pitch, point size, location, etc) assigned to that type. I suspect each bit of RTF text carries its own formatting. Also RTF isn't a single thing, there are 10 different versions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, I did not know that. I guess the look depends on how the specific viewer/editor program opens and interprets the document. Fortunately I found a solution which works. A style in OOo/LO has a default subscript/superscript font size and placement expressed in percentage. If I set a style with a given font size and apply it to the text with sub/superscripts all font sizes change. The normal font to the defined size and sub/superscript according to the style's settings. That is I can't set them to a given point size, but they remain smaller and their sub/super placement is kept. This is enough for me. Thanks again for your answer.
