LibreOffice: Advent Tip #13

Language to Asian

Vertical Ruler to Left Aligned

LibreOffice allows left-handed users to move the vertical scroll bar from the right side to the left side of the screen with a simple procedure. You must open LibreOffice Options dialog window with the menu Tools > Options… Then, go first to the Language Settings > Languages window to set the document language to Asian, and second to the LibreOffice Writer > View window to set the vertical ruler as left aligned.

LibreOffice will immediately move the vertical scroll bar to the left of the screen. This will help left handed users to avoid crossing the screen with the mouse cursor each time they need to scroll the document.
