Either use ⌘⇑D or  > System Preferences > Dock > Automatically hide and show the dock or Control Click the dock separator and use Turn Hiding On. However you can even hide the dock without full screen mode. For those who have been using MSWord, you’ll find the interface for MS Word very similar. LibreOffice Writer supports for over 100 languages. I keep the dock visible too, but on the right side of the screen since there is more screen available left-to-right than there is top-to-bottom. LibreOffice Writer is open source software, which means it’s available for Mac OS, Windows, and Linux operating systems. Note, in the picture, that the Impress (presentation) document will occupy almost the entire screen when it's active. Then I have the last two window switching methods available. Instead, I simply resize the window so that it takes up the entire screen. If you're in full screen mode, the last of these options is not available because full screen mode hides the menus at the top of the screen.īecause I find it inconvenient to have the menus hidden, I seldom use full screen mode.

Using the Window menu, the same menu that you would use to switch between documents in other Mac applications.

Using ⌘`, the same keyboard shortcut that you would use to switch between documents in other Mac applications, or.

Clicking on the window, as long as the window isn't completely covered by other OpenOffice windows, or.

If you're not in full screen mode, you switch among the windows by either: Just use File > New > as many times as desired. Actually you can have multiple text documents, multiple spreadsheets, multiple presentations, multiple databases, etc. I'm guessing that is what you mean by 'flick'.
