Just to add two quick notes:
Howard, on MacOS, instead of Tools > Options you can access the setup
and customization settings via LibreOffice > Preferences.
Also, for both Howard and Peter, this is a bit off-topic but Apple
released a critical security update this week for MacOS, because of the
FORCEDENTRY exploit which is being used in the wild. 11.5.2 is
vulnerable and I'd strongly recommend you upgrade to Big Sur 11.6 asap!
(Info about the exploit and its discovery and attribution are at
https://citizenlab.ca/2021/09/forcedentry-nso-group-imessage-zero-click-exploit-captured-in-the-wild/.
Citizen Lab does great work!)

Hello Howard
I am using LO 7.2 with macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 and do not get the
behaviour that you have described. Suggest you remove LO 7.2 using one
of the available removal apps and then reinstall LO7.2. I use
AppCleaner.
I am creating LO user guide for Impress and Draw using LO Writer. This
means that I am using an LO template for user guides. One thing about
templates, is that if you make changes to the template and you cannot
then save the template as the same template file. You have to Save As
creating a new template file and select the Writer template format
OTT.
I am not a software expert and do suggest that you raise a bug
describing the problem.

Addendum: when trying to highlight a word or section the highlight
function does its own thing! Highlighting a much larger area and

Attempting to copy and paste produces a line of gibberish.

I have just downloaded Libreoffice 7.2. It does very strange things:
I am on a MacBook Pro, operating system is 11.5.2. I can save
anything as a template. When loading a file that I want to use as a
template (in this case a letterhead) I can type a word or phrase,
when I want to edit what I have typed the cursor goes to the front of
the phrase or words typed and will not permit me to edit or alter the
previously typed text, Why?
There is no way to save or set up a template, such as a letterhead or
form, contrary Documentation.
Tools>Options does not exist.
How do I change any of this to really use the system? I have not
gotten to the spread sheet. Yet!
