LO 7.1 Edit TitleBlock Text
-
I just wandered, I installed 7.1 and opened LO then choosed a certain template with a titleblock ready, then I can't edit the text on the template but I can with my previous version of LO. Is this also happening with you guys or is it just me? Thanks!

Hi Etong,
These blocks are on locked layers (to "double make sure" they are not altered incidentally). Go to your layers dialog in the tray, unlock the little padlock icon (I cannot remember if it's a simple click or double click) next to the "every page" or what layer, make your changes in the title block and if you wish, lock the layer again.
So it is not a bug actually but a feature change - maybe due to user input about changed/altered title blocks. Some feel safer this way while others think it is more tiresome to do it like this (as I read user feedback). I can imagine the dilemma of developers - "now which would be best for users?"
