Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: connecting to oooforum.org
Tom, Undoubtedly you post with the best of intentions, but please stop jumping in with confusing misinformation. There are two entirely separate forums: 1. http://www.oooforum.org The independent "unofficial" one Jim was referring to. For reasons nobody has been able to explain, their server is at best unreliable and frequently times out. 2. http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ The "official" one Apache inherited from OpenOffice.org which you are referencing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail merge manual field entry
A related question, which may help me figure out what I need, is how does one manually work through a mail merge? I only see the wizard, but what if I've already created a document and just want to change a few fields? I don't want to have to enter a wizard and work through the entire thing just to edit that document. That function might also allow me to hand-enter field names for this merge document.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOfficeCalc - secondary Y axis and getting desired data to appear in chart
Never mind... got it figured out. Click on a line on the chart to make the Data Series dialog appear - Options – Align data series to - Primary Y axis … OR - Secondary Y axis The first trick was to make the DJI line appear, by fiddling with the Primary Y axis, then was able to align that data series with the Secondary Y axis.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Including code example in documents
Hi :) There are a lot of text-editors out there. Gedit show colour-coding and is available on Windows too. It's OpenSource and uses the GPL License. SciTe also does colour-coding and may do some more fancy stuff too. I'm sure there are lots of others. The main thing is to avoid using Notepad (without the double + at the end of it's name) as that is the only one that is really painful.

Would you tell us how large of a document these code samples will be in? Are you writing a programming guide type of documentation? Hopefully the RTF formatting option works. Sometimes pictures of text do not work well, since the snapshot resolution and the print resolution could be very different. I tend to have to make 600 DPI scanned images to get a decent "near 1 to 1 size" image when I print out a "best" print option. If you need to do the snapshot, I would run the image through a scaling option, with a edge smoothing "effect", to make the image in a large enough DPI and actual print size for your needs that actually look well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with eLAIX extension on LibO 4.0
Hi. Thanks for the help, Niklas. First: Neither DlgAbout nor DlgBookmark under eLAIX node when installed as a user extension. Second: I followed your advise and try to install eLAIX as a shared macro, but it didn't work either. I just summarize what I did so you can check I didn't make any mistake: I'm running LibO 4.0 on Windows Vista 32 bits SP 2. I opened the extension manager through the GUI (Tools -> Extension manager) and uninstalled eLAIX. I closed LibO and downloaded the OXT file from the web into my user folder. I right-clicked on the Windows promt icon and selected 'Open as administrator'. The Windows prompt popped up in a new window. I executed 'unopkg add --shared c:/path/file.oxt' from the 'program' sub-folder of LibO (of course I changed the 'path' and 'file' generic names for the actual ones). Unopkg run without problems, printed a copy of the license and asked me to agree, which I did. It came out to the promt without error. I exited the administrator promt and started Write. The eLAIX extension was installed, but: -gave the same error -when checking the macros manager (Alt+F11), eLAIX was under the shared macros, but DlgAbout and/or DlgBookmark were still missing from the node. No idea why the macros are being deleted, but hope this information could help to report a bug (I don't have the knowledge to report it properly). Thanks again everybody, Joaquín Sorry to hear that you are still having troubles with this. So what that line of code is suppose to do is to load the dialogs in the library eLAIX so that they can be used by the program. For some reason this is not possible. I've seen some problems with dialog libraries disappearing in some cases so let's see if we can pin down if this is what has happened. Open Writer Press Alt+F11 Press the button Edit in the dialog that appears On the left side in the editor you have a tree structure, find eLAIX and expand that node Do you see a DlgAbout or DlgBookmark there under? We should probably try to formulate a bug report about vanishing dialog libraries (as well as basic libraries). I found it hard to formulate such a bug since I haven't found when it happens just that it happens some times, and I believe it's more and more frequent. Just a thought, you could try to install the extension as a shared extension. If it is installed as a shared extension then LibreOffice will need elevated rights to change the dialogs, which it should not have under normal circumstances. Of course this does not fix the actual problem but it might make it possible for you to use eLAIX without having to repeatedly reinstalling the extension each time the dialogs disappear. Let us know if you need more information on how to install a shared extension, and in that case please let us know what operating system your using (Windows, Mac, some sort of Linux distribution ...)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Including code example in documents
I used NoteTab [free] and NotePad ++ as my first Windows programming and HTML editor. Having the extension to do the highlighting in Writer is a good idea though. If I remember correctly, for the Note. . . editors you can find "add ons" that are specific to the programming code. I have not tried them in a few years, but they were a real big aid to my early programming within the Windows environment. I do not remember when I installed the first one, but it was in the early days of my having dial-up Internet access, or a little later. I do not remember if I got online with Win 95 or 98 era. but I know I used them when I was using he "new" Windows version - XP. Would you tell us how large of a document these code samples will be in? Are you writing a programming guide type of documentation? Hopefully the RTF formatting option works. Sometimes pictures of text do not work well, since the snapshot resolution and the print resolution could be very different. I tend to have to make 600 DPI scanned images to get a decent "near 1 to 1 size" image when I print out a "best" print option. If you need to do the snapshot, I would run the image through a scaling option, with a edge smoothing "effect", to make the image in a large enough DPI and actual print size for your needs that actually look well.
