I work on many documents, all formatted with 12 point Times New Roman fonts, in Print Layout view. A zoom level of 80% is perfect for me to view the documents. Zoom problem: Sometimes when I start up LibreOffice Writer, all the documents look like they are zoomed way out. Even though the zoom indicator is still set at 80%. I have to zoom to 110% to match the view that 80% previously provided. This is a quick tutorial guide on how to change the view size in LibreOffice writer, version 6.4.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE.Quick Guide:Step 1: After opening.

very helpful thx, but i sometimes feel there needs to be another level of detail for some of this advice to work, e.g, ' Ctrl+Shift+F10 Use this combination to quickly dock or undock the Navigator, Styles and Formatting window, or other windows'. On win10, This ONLY works if the navigator pane and NOT the main document pane is the foreground window/task. For most users the locus of attention is on the main document window, hence these simple instructions can fail.
