Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)

2012-07-27 Thread Andrew Brager

Sounds like whatever is displaying the image isn't being initialized 
properly for whatever reason. "Reopening" it allows that function to 
execute with the proper parameters.  To sit on the page in the proper 
place the coordinates of the image would have to be known and set 
properly. If the images are "stacking" then they're all getting the same 
set of coordinates.  The trick is to figure out why.


For the laymen... the best analogy I can think of is to picture an 
assembly line, with a conveyor belt.  Empty bottles sit on the conveyor 
belt.  When you start the conveyor belt and the associated machinery 
that fills the bottles with some liquid, the bottles are not aligned 
properly so when the filling nozzle starts pouring liquid it misses the 
bottle opening by just enough that it sprays onto the belt and spills 
over onto the floor. By restarting the machinery at the exact moment 
that the bottles are properly aligned it "fixes" the problem.


Kind of a lame analogy but like I say, the best I can think of at the 
moment.

I generally have success accurately opening docx format files.
Occasionally I get one that I have to open MSO and convert to doc (2003)
or ODF 1.0/1.1. Usually it is some graphic layout that causes the
problem. This is known issue with LO and AOO.

docx file conversions are occasionally difficult because MS is trying to
push their proprietary MS Office and makes open the file accurately
problematic.

If you are using Linux, you might try Calligra Words (probably available
in your repository) to see if it is better at opening the file and
saving to odt.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)

   This is possible - when I want to view a document from another
source in LO [and worked previously in OO],
   I merely 'select all' then 'copy' then 'paste' ... many times,
the placement is off, but this can be fixed with a little time & effort.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Lost my spreadsheet

2012-07-27 Thread joto2036

Hi Tom, 
Thanks for the reply. I've inserted some answers to your questions as noted 
below.

I do back up my computer about once per week.

Someone mentioned you have to go to Page to access your file. I went to Page 
Preview and that brought the file back in.

I didn't have any problems with LibreOffice before. I used Open Office before.

Luckily, I have been also making a spread sheet for this same file on Excel 
2007, for income tax purposes.

Thanks again.

I'd like to create a macro for a user-defined date format (H:MMa/p).  As
examples, 7:00 AM would display as 7:00a and 3:33 PM as 3:33p. I can
create the format manually, but I understand the LibreOffice format
can't save user-defined formats.  So my thought is to create a macro
which creates the format each time the spreadsheet is opened. The
user-defined Format Code is for a saved Style.

The macro records without incident and the date format is correct.
However, running the saved macro doesn't change the format.  It seems
this should work.  Thoughts?  The recorded macro is as follows:



Hello,

The issue is a known one (AOO bug #66842). The office seems to support 
some format codes that have no equivalent expression in the ODF standard.

It has been discussed in a productive manner here:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=53724
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=55344

I attached simple Basic macro to a demo document:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=14598

It links number formats to cell styles so the newly generated number 
formats applies to all the cells where the style is in use.


Hope this helps,
A.S.

I'm uncertain of the proper method of labeling this as solved. But, 
for my purposes it is and as I began the thread, perhaps [Solved] is 
appropriate.

The launchpad page for the ppa indicates that it is an "unofficial"

To turn off automatic updating in Synaptic go to Settings>Repositories

Hi Heinrich,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad I was able to help, and that
things are working for you now. I'm far from an expert in Ubuntu and
LibreOffice, but I would rate myself as above average in proficiency in
certain aspects of both. When issues show up where I think I can help, I
jump in and try to do the best I can.

Good luck!!!

Hi,

As I understand it, Mint uses the Ubuntu software center. The default LO
install in Ubuntu does not include base. If the user wishes to have base
installed, you would add that to the Ubuntu installation from the
software center. If I install from a direct LO download from LO, I have
all of the programs listed below in webmaster-Kracked_P_P's post. In
Unity, there is a launcher bar on the left side of the screen. The top
button on the launcher bar is called dash, which has multiple uses. One
use is to show the installed applications. When I do an upgrade, I
completely remove the old install using the terminal, and then do the
new install in the terminal. I use the following commands (This is for
the 64 bit 3.5.5.3 from LO):

Download LibO_3.5.5_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the
desktop.

Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the
folder LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5.5-3_all.deb

After this install, all of the applications below will show up in Dash.
To add them to the Launcher bar, simply drag the icons for the ones you
want to the launcher bar and place them where you wish to have them.
I've never had any issue with opening any of the applications.

I read several days ago that Unity is now available for Fedora and for
Mint for those who would like to have it.

it could be the Repository version of LO and its "desktop-integration"

I use MATE so I have the "best" looking GNOME desktop that looks and
acts like the GNOME desktop that I use for my desktop's 10.04/GNOME
system. I use the 10.04 system as my default system and wanted any of
my other Ubuntu systems run either 10.04 or 12.04/MATE so it
looks/works like I want it to do.

Actually we had a tornado pass by yesterday about 1 mile north of me

I will install 3.5.5 on my laptop in a few minutes and see what

Hi,

I run Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity. Did you download LO 3.3.5 from
LibreOffice, or are you using the Ubuntu repository version. In
Ubuntu, the default install from Ubuntu for LibreOffice does not
include Base. It can be added separately through the software
center. Be careful also not to mix the two versions, the one from
the repository and the one from LibreOffice directly.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for that information. I was aware of that. I have two concerns with 
using it. First, it may update me when I don't want to be updated, like from 
3.5.x to an early 3.6.x. I generally don't go to a new LibreOffice series until 
the second beta has been finished, so for the 3.6 series, it would be 3.6.2. 
The other concern is in the past I had issues with OpenOffice releases in the 
Ubuntu repositories, and just seemed to have better luck with the ones directly 
from OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

Any thoughts or comments about my thoughts would be appreciated. I'm assuming 
the ppa you are speaking of is in the Ubuntu repositories and it is the Ubuntu 
version.

The issue is a known one (AOO bug #66842). The office seems to support

It links number formats to cell styles so the newly generated number

Hope this helps,

Mint is where I originally found MATE.

Then I looked into installing it with Ubuntu 12.04.

If you want your desktop to look and act the most like GNOME in 10.04,
MATE was what I found to work the best.

 You did not mention what OS (operating system) you use. Windows 
perhaps? If so, which one?
 It may be something happened when you have this spreadsheet opened 
which deleted your data in the spreadsheet. It is also possible that 
something caused the spreadsheet to become corrupted. If this is the 
case, others may should able to tell you how to possibly salvage your 
data. The spreadsheet file is a zip file. This means that information 
about the file can be extracted from it.

Can you check Synaptic and verify that Base is installed. I think Ubuntu 
and clones do not always install Base by default.

 Please, when you are asking questions, compose a new email rather 
than replying to someone email. Your email came in the midst of four 
emails: three were discussing Base, and the four was yours that had 
nothing to do with Base. This is because I tell my email client to 
thread the emails. So do many of the other members of this list. This 
groups the incoming emails (original and replies) by the original subject.
 I have composed your original email including your subject. Now 
this will be seen as a new subject and any replies will be threaded with it.
 Now to answer at least part of your question: background images 
for OTT documents. You need to open the Page style of your document, and 
enter the required data in the Background tab. Then save the document as 
a OTT. It should be saved in the user folder for LibreOffice. 
Information on how to change the page style of a document is discussed 
in the Writer Guide for LibreOffice available at

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications.
Changing the page style should also solve your other problem as well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] starting Base - works for me

2012-07-27 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P



OK
I just installed the non-repository version of 3.5.5 as an "upgrade" to 
3.5.4 on my Ubuntu 12.04/MATE laptop.


I still have Base listed, and working, in my Applications/Office menu 
listing.


It shows:

LibreOffice 3.5
LibreOffice 3.5 Base
LibreOffice 3.5 Calc
LibreOffice 3.5 Draw
LibreOffice 3.5 Impress
LibreOffice 3.5 Printer Administration
LibreOffice 3.5 Writer

in that order.

SO
it could be the Repository version of LO and its "desktop-integration" 
package, of it could be Unity's menu system.


As I said, I use MATE for Ubuntu 12.04 and I see Base in the menu.

I use MATE so I have the "best" looking GNOME desktop that looks and 
acts like the GNOME desktop that I use for my desktop's 10.04/GNOME 
system.  I use the 10.04 system as my default system and wanted any of 
my other Ubuntu systems run either 10.04 or 12.04/MATE so it looks/works 
like I want it to do.

Actually we had a tornado pass by yesterday about 1 mile north of me

from entering our city, unless you live or work here - and can prove it.


I will install 3.5.5 on my laptop in a few minutes and see what 
happens with Base.

I have not loaded 3.5.5, but I have 3.5.4 on my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop with 
MATE as its desktop environment and it does show Base in the 
applications/office menu.


Also, I installed LibreOffice from the download site and not the repository.

I was planning on installing 3.5.5 on the laptops [Ubuntu, XP, and 
Vista] but I did not have the time.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)

2012-07-27 Thread Tom Davies

Hi :)
I've often found that even tho images appear to have vanished they are still 
really there somewhere.  That gives at least 2 opportunities;
1.  Edit and save without trying to find the images and then see if the images 
apparently re-appear in the right places when the edited file is opened back in 
MS Office 2007/2010
2.  Hunt around the edges of the pages and move any images you do find anywhere 
to see if the other images have been hidden underneath as they tend to get 
piled-up on-top of each other.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I generally have success accurately opening docx format files. 
Occasionally I get one that I have to open MSO and convert to doc (2003) 
or ODF 1.0/1.1. Usually it is some graphic layout that causes the 
problem. This is known issue with LO and AOO.

docx file conversions are occasionally difficult because MS is trying to 
push their proprietary MS Office and makes open the file accurately 
problematic.

If you are using Linux, you might try Calligra Words (probably available 
in your repository) to see if it is better at opening the file and 
saving to odt.
