I am working on a worksheet which has long header names. I want to display table compactly using icon images instead of using header labels. Say I have a column named "Population Density" in a table. I would like a population icon to show up instead of full label.
Probably the closest you could come with this is using Unicode Emoji in a column alias.
For measure values, right click the header and click "Edit Alias", then paste the unicode emoji into the text box.
For dimensions, right click the pill and click "Edit in Shelf". Move the cursor to the beginning of the line and press Shift+Enter to add a new line above, then press the up arrow. Type // on the new line, paste the selected unicode emoji, and hit Enter.

Is it possible to show the character length of your selected text in the status bar? For example, in PyCharm as well as many other editors, it shows the line and column position. Then when you have some text selected, it shows the char count.
However in VSCode, it just shows the line and column position.
But when I select a piece of text, it disappears.
Is this a bug in my installation, or is it something I have to enable?
This should be shown by default:
I notice that your space between "Live Share" and "Spaces: 4" is quite small. Maybe the longer string on a selection does not fit in there. Have you tried expanding the Window or hide some of the status bar elements by right-clicking on it?
Let say I have a sentence as This is my whole sentence.
Now I want a part of above sentence This is left aligned. And the remaining part of same sentence my whole sentence as right aligned.
I basically wanted to have option to configure Footer of my document, as part to go left side and another part on the right side.
Is there any way to achieve this with Libre-office writer?
Any pointer will be highly appreciated.
This is done using a tabulator - the tabulation character is entered from the keyboard using the Tab key, and the result of its application is controlled by the type of tabulator and its position on the ruler.
The video shows the formatting of the Header with a Tab. The same steps apply to both Footer and normal paragraph text.
Enter the text you want
Remove unnecessary (preset) Tabs from the Ruler - just drag them aside
By clicking on the Tab Type icon in the upper left corner, set the desired type of future tabulator
Place the cursor in the desired place of your text and press the Tab key
Tab types change cyclically with each click - Left (default), Right, Center, and By Decimal Separator (used to align numbers).
Use the Edit Tabs to fine-tune tab stops
Let say I have a text like this
> Name
>
> Peak
>
> Surname
>
> Sornpaisarn
But I want the whole document to be written like this
Name Peak
Surname Sornpaisarn
So for the odd blank space, I want to change to tab. For the even blank space I want to delete it. Are there anything in vs code that can do that?
Make sure the final line is just >, so that the final key-space-value-space chunk is the same as the others
Make a backup copy of your page. If the edit ruins it, you can replace it and try something else
Choose "Replace" from the Edit menu
in the find/replace dialog, click the little .* box to turn on regular expressions
in the top (find) box, enter >\s([^\n]+)\n>\n>\s([^\n]+)\n>
in the bottom (replace with) box, enter $1\t$2
click in front of the first character in the file so you'll start the conversion there
click the little "replace" or "replace all" buttons (little b -> c icons to the right of the "replace with" text)
What I'm trying to do is create a bullet list in 'two columns'. So you have the bullet, a word, a tab and some aligned text like in the example below.
You have several alternatives:
Create a two-column table, with invisible lines. Fill the first column with your "bullet" word, and the second column with your "definition" (or whatever you are putting there.
Adjust the formatting for your special list item to include a tab where you want the text to appear and provide a "hanging indent" that lines up overflow text with that tab.
The second option is probably the best for you.
Is there a good way to make horizontal lines actually line up in Crystal Reports? I can select text and field objects, right-click, and do various sizing and alignments. But that's not an option with a line. I need header fields underlined (and for whatever reason, our standard says to NOT use underline), and I want them to line up across the report.
It's a pain, but I've found one way to do it.
Both field and line items have a right-click menu option called "Size and Position". It doesn't take just any value, especially with Snap to Grid turned on (and doesn't always take exactly what you choose with it not turned on), but you can carefully make sure each line has the same Y value (for horizonal lines). And, if you want them to align and be the same length as the field headers they are underlining, compare each header field X and Width values, and make each line also match that.
In design mode, you can add horizontal guide lines by clicking in the ruler (the vertical one) fields will get sticky to it.
You can also select several fields, right click "Align > Bottoms" and them move the fields to the guide lines.
You can also format a single field to "lock its position and size", then Align the others to it
Another way is to select all the lines you want to left align, move them to the far left with the left cursor key until they hit the left margin and keep pressing the left key until they all align themselves. Just a trick!
Put a bottom border on the header Text Object.
