Re: [libreoffice-users] How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Oracle Report Builder - Text field overflow and N.aN problem
Hi Girvin, Thanks for all that information . When I get time, I'll disable Oracle Report Builder and try LO 3.6 again. Hopefully I will then get Report Builder 1.2.3 and see if that solves my problem with N.aN. Noel -- Noel Lodge lodg...@gmail.com On 6 April 2013 05:26, Girvin R. Herr girvin.h...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Noel, I don't think you should have a problem between 3.5 and 3.6 installation. The files, at least on my Linux machine, are in separate directories. LO 3.5 is in libreoffice3.5, LO 3.6 is in libreoffice3.6, and even openoffice 3.x is in openoffice.org3. So, these versions should co-exist on the same computer without conflict. There has been much discussion about this very subject in past postings on this forum. However, the same is not true for your personal configuration (options, etc.). On my Linux machine, the configuration files are in /home/user/.config/**libreoffice/3. So, both 3.5 and 3.6 will use the same configuration directory. User-installed extensions seem to be registered in this directory also. So, the bottom line is that you may indeed have to uninstall your ORB extension prior to installing LO 3.6, if only just to ensure a clean start on 3.6. Alternately, you could rename this directory to something else temporarily, such as 3.5. That way, if 3.6 doesn't gain you anything, you can always go back to 3.5 by renaming the directory back to 3 again. (Make sure LO is not running when you do this.) Someone else in this forum may be able to specify exactly when Report Builder was first bundled into LibreOfiice, but I first noticed it around 3.5.3. Hope this helps. Girvin Herr Marion Noel Lodge wrote: Thanks for the replies. I'm away for the next couple of days, so I won't be able to try the suggestions till I get back. I take it that Report Builder is part of the download of LO 3.6.5, (which I tried a while ago but ran into problems that I didn't have time to investigate fully, so I went back to LO 3.5.6.2). If I try LO 3.6.5, should I remove Oracle Report Builder 1.2.1 before installing 3.6.5? I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit. Thanks, Noel -- Noel Lodge lodg...@gmail.com On 5 April 2013 10:54, Girvin R. Herr girvin.h...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Marion Noel Lodge wrote: Sorry about my previous post. Hit the wrong button and sent it prematurely! With Oracle Report Builder it does not seem to be possible to have a text field overflow into the next line and push everything below that down a line. (I'm porting an application from an old Paradox system and this was possible in Paradox reports.) If I make the text box double height in Report Builder, then the second line appears OK, but most of the records don't need a second line and end up being double spaced. Is there any work around for this? What I have tried is to use a macro to check the length of each text string , and if it exceeds 40 characters then I create a second record to contain the excess characters. I've almost got it working as shown below - Date Details ReferenceAmount 01/01/2013 Dick Smith - 3.5mm Plug 14.94, 25 CD 1363649.92 Dr Cases $9.98, Headphones $25.00 N.aN Dr The problem is the N.aN in the amount column. In the Table this field is blank, but Report Builder displays it as N.aN which I understand means 'Not a Number'. I want it to be blank in the Report. I've tried all sort of possibilities in Conditional Print in the General Tab for that field, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? One final question - is there a better alternative to Oracle Report Builder? I am running LibreOffice 3.5.6.2, Oracle Report Builder 1.2.1 and Windows 7 64 Bit Thanks, Noel -- Noel Lodge lodg...@gmail.com I am running LO 3.6.4.3 (Linux) and it has Report Builder version 1.2.3 bundled in. So something has been changed. You might try that upgrade. Note that Oracle Report Builder is a term that Apache Open Office still uses for their report builder extension. However, LibreOffice uses just Report Builder when referring to their bundled report builder extension. So your use of the ORB term is confusing, since theoretically you could install the Oracle Report Builder over top of the LO-bundled Report Builder. You need to inform this forum just which RB you are using.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Docx export issues
Hi :) Try using the older Doc instead of the DocX. DocX is very variable even between different versions of MS Office and between those different versions on different Operating Systems. Pretty much all Doc files (for MS Office 97, 2000, Xp, 2003) look fine in just about any word-processor. It would be helpful if MS Office users could save as the older format when they want to share with other people too. Another suggestion for them is to get up-to-date and install LibreOffice themselves alongside their MS Office as it is far superior in many way. They can have both on their machines and that will also allow them to easily read a much wider range of formats more easily. Having both LibreOffice and MS Office on the same machine makes a lot of sense nowadays. Writer is more of a proper desktop publishing package than Word and even beats Publisher sometimes.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem
Hi :) Also 2 things; 1. It might be worth uploading your Pdfs to Google-docs and the opening them with Google-docs to save as Odt. Someone here recently said that seemed to solve all their problems with Pdfs so it would be interesting to see if yours work too. 2. if you right-click on images in a Pdf it generally allows you to Save Graphic. Of course this way you have to place them again. 3. If you just copypaste text straight out of the Pdf and into a document as Unformatted text and then apply styles it might end up with a much more consistent document but again you would have to follow 2 above in order to get all the pictures/photos/logos/images back in.

I've tried several and they are importable into my document (as a picture), but it seems that only one page was exported, which is more complicated than copying and pasting from each page of the draw object. In the mean time, I've discovered a free conversion site, www.zamzar.com, and they were able to convert the PDF files to odt (with the images as bitmaps. Now here's another strange thing: I can use LO to open the converted file and the document looks as I expect; however, when I insert the file (insert-file) into my larger document, only the text is picked up, leaving blank spaces where the images should go. This sounds like a bug, but perhaps there is some setting that controls this. One other thing: when I open the single/converted pdf-odt document, the navigator shows draw objects and graphics objects as 0.
