A reader wants some help customizing LibreOffice.
“I installed Libre Office, and I was able to get the font I like as my default but not the size. Is there a way to do this? Also, the spacing looks like it’s 1-1/2 spaces, not a single space. Would appreciate your help.”
Let’s start by changing your default font and size. Open LibreOffice Writer and click Tools on the menu at the top. Then select Options from the drop-down menu.

Scroll down to LibreOffice Writer and click the + sign.


At the right, you’ll have the option to choose your default font and size.


Don’t forget to click on Apply to save.

The default line spacing in LibreOffice is 120% of the size of the font you’re typing. To change it, Press F11. When the pane opens on the right, Right-click on Default Paragraph Style and choose Modify.


Thank you for the information. I tried running a copy so I’d have it on hand and it only printed out the first page.
