Reverse Word Generator for Linux

I was converting and modernizing an old text in which the reversed text of a passage was printed, as an example of how difficult it is for our minds to contend with things that don't fit with our habits.Being too lazy to read and/or type all the words back into their original or "normal" front-to-back sequence, I started a web search for a solution. Like so many others who need help on this kind of problem, I wasn't even sure what words or phrases to use in my search. Rest assured, though, I used a plethora of related words and phrases. Of course, most of the search results took me to the generally useless User Forums, where I went through dozens of threads that were (a) closed to further comments; (b) full of comments from people who obviously did not even understand the question; (c) were full of guess-work; (d) contained lot' of "Have you tried..." and "Maybe if you" and other speculations; (d) gave detailed instructions for "workarounds" that not only did not solve the problem; it was obvious that the person did not understand the question and/or never tried the recommended solutions themselves, or both.

YADDAH, YADDAH, YADDAH!. WHERE'S MY SOLUTION, YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELF BY NOW.

OKAY: THE SOLUTION

As a Linux user I solved my problem by finding and downloading "Text Reverse" from the Snap Store. My guess is that similar programs are available for Windows and maybe even for Mac. 

Below is an example of the end product from "Text Reverse."

The is an example of reversed text. It is included here in place of the original converted text in the source document. If you are fortunate enough to be a Linux user, you might want to download and use Text Reverse from the Snap Store. It reverses text, flips text and reverses word lettering. I am certain there are also Reverse Text Generator apps for Windows, also.

LibreOffice Freeze and Slowdown - "Memory" and "Undo" Settings

Image
Our Standard Cautionary Tale on Forums There is a lot of useless junk in forums that purport to tell you how to fix the memory issues in LibreOffice. Most of them are useless because many of the fixes are based on old, outdated versions of LO, say, for instance, version 5.0 or lower. They are also useless because there is always a lot of speculation and guessing taking up space in a forum.  The fixes below cut through the useless junk, and they simply work. We assume that you are on an updated version of LO, such as 6.5 or higher, thus many of the improvements to memory settings are already baked into LO.  Skip the Details For those who don't need all the "what's" and "why's," skip to the highlighted fixes for items 5 and 6 below. Background In earlier versions (see above) of LibreOffice (nee, OpenOffice), memory settings caused the program to react slowly or not at all, depending on the task you were executing. Most of those freezes and crashes had to d...

We recommend you bookmark this blog. Trying to find helpful information in forums usually just ends in making you frustrated and angry. This blog does not speculate or guess. If we post it, we've tried it and it works. Scenario You have a single document that references important sections of several other documents. You want to be able to move swiftly between the single document and all the reference documents. To do that, you might use a Document Link in Writer (for instance) : Highlight the word(s), sentence or paragraph in the source document that you want to link to the reference document. Click on the Link icon in the Writer Menu Bar. Search for, Select and Open the document to which you wish to connect. The hyperlink will appear in the Link field of the Hyperlink dialog box.
