    When an external monitor / projector is plugged in, Ubuntu does not automatically switch it on. Normally, you can do this by pressing a key combination which depends on the keyboard you are using. Often its Fn+F8 or something similar, often containing two displays.

    You can also click on [System Menu] -> Display...: enter image description here

    which brings up a dialog like this:

    enter image description here

    There you can fine tune the configuration you like. (relative position of the monitors etc.)

    Note: LibreOffice has nothing to do with this.
