Is there a way to make Libre Office more responsive in order to be able to center text while the window is in half-screen display

  • 772

So first of all I am using Libre Office with the following settings:

Version: 6.0.7.3   
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2   
CPU threads:8; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;    
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

And so whan I am using it in half-screen mode (so using 2 applications side-by-side) I would like to center some text BUT I can't because the centering button is not available!

My current screen: as you can see the "center text" button is hidden and not available

half-screen mode

but in "full screen" mode I can see it on the right:

fullscreen

Do you please know any ways to fix it ? It seems libre office is kind of non-responsive so that's kinda annoying to use.

    The toolbar requires a minimum screen width. If you want all buttons to remain in view, make sure you make your windows wide enough, or work with a maximized window.

    Alternatively, you can customize the toolbars or change their location. You can edit toolbars and remove items, or move them to new toolbars. You can customize toolbars and other interface elements under Tools - Customize. You can also right-click the toolbar handle to access settings for changing it.

    The answers to this question indicates how it can be done for prior versions of Libreoffice. For recent versions, that dialog has changed. Select the toolbar you want to customize from the dropdown menu under Target. Click the cog symbol under Target to add new toolbars.

    Alternatively, grab the handle of the toolbar and drag it. You can place a toolbar vertically along the left or right side of the window by dragging it.

    Thus, Libreoffice allows the flexibility to rearrange the interface in a way that works best for you.
