[libreoffice-users] Re: Howto find all macros in a document and delete or deactivate them?
Cor wrote And via the user interface (Tools Macro's .. ) Or is that answer too simple ? I was looking there. But I find the way of managing macros absolutely non-intuitive. So I have this document I know nothing about because I received it by email, sent by a customer. I open it and get the warning about one or more macros that are programmed to do I don't know what. To learn more about this macro or these macros, I need to know in which language it/they are scripted. How would I know? So I'm going try one language after the other. First is LibreOffice Basic. I get this ridiculously small dialog whose window can not made larger with kind of a file manger on the left and 3 icons that might be interpreted as folders. A click on one of them opens it and offers me sub-folder with sub-folders. To see anything in the right part of that window - which so far is entirely empty - I need to choose on (sub-)folder or its content on the left and get the name of a macro (I suppose). And then the button to delete it in the far right is not active. And I would have to do this with every scripting language and sub-category. Nope, it is not too simple. But the short answer to my question seems to be that it can not be done. I'm not even going to start to dive into dissecting documents and rebuilding them.

Hi :) Have you tried re-naming your user-profile? It's location is slightly different depending on what platform you are using. So the question is which Operating System are you using? For example in Ubuntu or other GnuLinux it is placed /home/username/.libreoffice/user/3 I tend to re-name the 3 folder to make it reverse date format so i can work out which back-ups are the most recent. Errr, for example 'today' i would make it /home/username/.libreoffice/user/2011-11-10 Then when you open LibreOffice it should create a new 3 one full of the factory default settings. You can then copypaste folders from the older one to the new one to regain extensions, libraries, galleries, templates, settings etc. If/when LibreOffice fails to start again you have a clearer idea of which extension/add-on, sub-folder or file broke it and then just delete that one to fix LO again. Tbh i just stay with the fresh new one and forget about all the old galleries and stuff.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Howto find all macros in a document and delete or deactivate them?
Hi :) With any GnuLinux it is easy to install a virtual machine and open the document in there. If anything goes horribly wrong you can just delete the VM. Alternatively use a spare partition, or create one and install a basic OS to there instead of to a VM. Similarly if there is a problem then you always have the nuclear option of deleting the partition. One way to get rid of macros is save in another format such as Odt or Rtf but that may change the layout of the document. If you do trust the person that sent you the document then perhaps just scan it with an antivirus such as ClamAv and then open it to see what it does. Most malware infested documents are aimed at MS Office on Windows so LibreOffice on GnuLinux is likely to be much safer even ignoring the fact that you open the document as a normal user rather than an Admin/SuperUser so it's much more difficult for malware even if LO and GnuLinux was the intended target. If the document ask you to key-in your super-secret SuperUser password then just cancel that but it's incredibly unlikely to try elevating privileges on your system if you are using GnuLinux.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 98, 000+ word list British dictionary, hyphen, thesaurus dictionary
Well, I am now waiting on the approval of the set of dictionaries on the LO Extension Center. I made on listing with 11 externally hosted files to choose from. word list sizes American English98,000+217,000+390,000+638,000+ British English 98,000+217,000+390,000+638,000+ Canadian English 217,000+390,000+638,000+ Hopefully there will be an approval soon. Now I can go and start working on some other things on my to-do list, like rebuild an old IBM Server, repair a Compaq Presario, find a inexpensive desktop and monitor for a friend 4 floor below me, etc., etc.. Plus I have several books to read, or finish reading, in the next few weeks [1000+/- pages each]. Just this morning, I added taking photos for a collage to the list of things needed to be done this month. Who said retired life was going to be a life of rest and relaxation? Not me. .

The actual time would difference would be really small. I have not tried using a 390K or 638K word lists though. For a real large document that I used for testing sometimes, you should not see any difference for spell checker lookup. I do not know what type of searches are used in LO to search the word lists for the word lookup, but for the old 80286 systems that I use to do this type of programming with these 50K vs 638K list searches would take about a 1/10 of a second difference for the same 100,000 word document. This was what I generally got for my word list searches back in the 80's with the programming samples I wrote. The professor wanted a timer included in the search software so he could see how efficient your code was. College is where I got interested in dictionary and word list searches and functions for spell checking. To re-learn C++ after my second stroke, I write a program to create word lists from e-book text and compare them with the current lists to see what new words I could find. The fact the the original .dic files had control codes after each word requires the system to do the work to do the conversions and then use those options in its searching. So having lists that do not need those control codes may make spelling searched faster. On 11/08/2011 03:13 AM, Mark Stanton wrote: I'm always interested in the most comprehensive.

Hi :) Apparently the best bet is to keep the original copy of the document in Odt format and use Save As ... to save in the older MS formats. Are you sure the file is saved as Doc rather than DocX? In the Save As ... menu it's the Microsoft Word (97/2000/Xp) option. Perhaps the dropped caps are a different font? One that the MS Office user doesn't have? If you could find the fonts file and forward it to the MS Office user they might be able to read the document properly?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007
Thanks for the suggestions,Tom. The file is definitely being saved in .doc format - and it uses Garamond 11 font in both MS Word and LO. I recently installed 3.4.4 - yet have not had time to see if the incompatibility problem still exists with this latest version. I've also noticed a graphics problem whereas I would anchor a jpg in LO to a paragraph, yet when opened in MS Word - it changes position and shows it in Word as being anchored to a character. Strange. Unfortunately, I cannot save in PDF format since additional editing will be done. Thanks for your help. I'll submit the problem to MS and see if they might have an insight into what's going on.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007
Hi :) I find MS Word fairly hopeless at dealing with pictures. Writer seems to have a lot more sophistication especially when using native formats such as Odt. It seems to have a wider range of ways to anchor things and moving them around the page is easier. At my main work-place they still use MS Office for most things but are now using Writer for their newsletter and beginning to look at it for other things too. Good luck with the report to MS :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 10/11/11, Jonathon Waterman peedyswo...@gmail.com wrote: From: Jonathon Waterman peedyswo...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Thursday, 10 November, 2011, 17:00 Thanks for the suggestions,Tom.

LibreOffice Math cannot handle this, however - it just doesn't allow this sort of formatting.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007
Thanks for sharing the info. Pedro. Fortunately I have found the cause of this problem and it could be listed as a user error. Needless to say after using MS Word for roughly 17 years I know it better than L.O. - which I recently have started to use as my full time word processor. Anyhow - in MS Word - You can create a drop cap at the beginning of a one line, short sentence. Tonight, I discovered that does not hold true to either OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Its seems for either OO or LO - you have to have a paragraph with a minimal of three lines of text in order for Drop Cap to work properly. I really with L.O. had a LibreOffice 3.4 Manual for Dummies available so extreme novices to the program could easily learn each program/feature within L.O. The only manual I have seen so far is for L.O. 3.3 and it is definitely not written in a simplistic manner. Thanks again for your help.

In my PC if I open the ODT file again it will show the Drop Cap as Arial while the DOC file shows as TNR. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3498751/dropcap.odt dropcap.odt http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3498751/dropcap.doc dropcap.doc -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Dropped-Caps-Sharing-a-doc-file-created-in-LO-3-4-3-and-MS-Word-2007-tp3485160p3498751.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007
Hi :) Ouch, sorry!! Try re-naming your user-profile as shown in this OOo guide http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=12426 With OpenSource programs such as FireFox, Thunderbird and so on the user-profile contains all the settings and configurations and keeps them separate from the program itself. This makes it easier to upgrade the program or re-install it and the newly installed version will have the same settings (and maybe add a few). Renaming the user-profile forces the program to generate a new one which effectively sets the program back to factory defaults. It's the equivalent of re-installing a non-OpenSource program except that any updates, patches, bug-fixes and such would still be installed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007
In the process of trying resolve a different problem - I uninstalled L.O. - deleted the Libreoffice directory from Program files and removed the Libreoffice folder out of my app/data folder. Thus doing what your article references, and more. :-) This seems to have resolved the problem.

Hi :) Official documentation is at both http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications and at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ The wiki has links to other 3rd party documentation. The guides are written for 3.3.x but the 3.4.x guides are being worked through steadily and may start appearing in the next few weeks. The guides are written elsewhere and then usually uploaded to the wiki a day or few before the official site. Hopefully the Getting Started Guide might be a little bit easier than whatever guides you have been using so far.

Hi :) You are welcome. I am glad you managed to fix the problem. The last few posts seem to have crossed in the posting but it's all good :) The documentation team is always glad of any help and new users are often able to bring a fresh perspective that can solve a number of questions that longer-term users find impossible to answer, such as how it looks to a newcomer ;) Regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Dropped-Caps-Sharing-a-doc-file-created-in-LO-3-4-3-and-MS-Word-2007-tp3485160p3498883.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] format in list mode

Also, if the lines begin with a number or an amount such as 2 Cups the number comes out in Bold. I want the lists I write to follow normal text formatting style.

See Format Bullets and numbering (or the style that you use from the dialog Styles and formatting). Tab options shows both the character style and the character. Playing with that should bring you there ... ;-) Cheers, -- - Cor - http://nl.libreoffice.org -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
