It's generally possible to to an upgrade as new versions come out. I recently upgraded my motherboard & hard drive (old drive was IDE and new MB only supports SATA), as the old MB was getting slow. I just copied my system to the new drive and then moved to the new motherboard and it works fine. With Linux, drivers also tend to be supported much longer than in Windows, so that old hardware will generally continue to work just fine. For example, I have an Epson scanner, which I bought several years ago. It worked with both Linux and XP. However, while it still works fine in Linux, I cannot use it with Windows 7, as the drivers are not available for it. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

There are certainly things I can do on my phone, but prefer to do on my tablet, due to the larger display. There are also things I do on my tablet that would be better on a larger one. However, regular Android devices should allow you to run all apps, regardless of whether the display size is really the best.

Applications such as LO store the files in your own folder on your computer. If you want to access them from another device, you need some method to access those files. This is easy enough on your own network, but from school you might need to save your files on "the cloud", using something like Dropbox or Google Drive. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Create your document first from the template, then insert the data. This is the way templates work. For example, I have a standard form that I use to create letters. I started by creating a new document from the default template, made my changes and then saved as my "Letter" template. Now, when I want to create a letter, I make a new document from that template and go from there. You do not add data to a template, but you can create a new one by creating a document the way you want and then save that as your new template. Then use that template to make a new document. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Huge security bugs
I have been using LibreOffice and OpenOffice before it for many years and have never seen such behaviour. As for associating older files, that's an operating system function, where all files of a specific type, no matter how old, are associated with the specified app. So, if you associate XLS files, then every one of them on your computer will now be associated with LibreOffice, no matter how old. You cannot control this according to age. Jan wrote: > Today in good faith I downloaded and for trial your Libre Office pack.

Unicode supports many thousands of characters, so it's a large table. You can search on unicode to find the tables. However, you may be going about this the wrong way. Is there a specific set of characters, such as for another language? If so, you can enable other keyboard layouts and switch among them. For example, I have International English enabled so that I can get a variety of symbols and also the Greek layout for characters that are commonly used in electronics. I just press to switch. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Jay, could you please configure your email program so that it clearly shows what you are replying to, as my message does here. Your posts simply show your comments as a continuation of someone else's message. This makes it difficult to determine what you wrote and what you are replying to. Her is an example: I do agree that once you figure out that "blasted wrench" thingy, Linux gives you a better "ride" than Windows. Also, how many OSs will give you the "flavor" options for their desktop environment as Linux does? They tried to do that with Windows before, and even MS tried to get people to "like" their new one. But when you get down to it, only Linux has the variety of an ice cream shop. Why go to a shop [OS] that offers one or two flavors, when there is a better shop that offers 20 or more flavors to choose from? . Hi My observation is that for the many users of Linux, Windows, and Macs will have about the same experience once installed and configured. I have a couple of friends who have me take care of the Linux boxes. They do not seem to have any trouble with Linux once I got it set up correctly. Your text apparently starts from the word "Hi" and there is nothing else to separate your comments from the previous person's. Most (all?) email programs should show clearly what you're replying to. Are you, by chance, just editing and resending a received message, instead of replying to it? If so, please stop, as your replies are making it difficult to separate who wrote what comments. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

I have never had a problem with not being able to access Linux when Windows is on the system. Windows installs will always break the boot loader, so you have to be prepared to deal with that. However, reinstalling Windows from the DVDs has never trashed Linux, though I have heard some recovery discs will. So, as a rule, unless I have no alternative, I install Windows first and then Linux. With my ThinkPad E520, the first thing I did was to build the recovery DVDs and then used the Windows tools to shrink the partition, to make room for the Linux install. I have not had to reinstall Windows 7 since then. On my old ThinkPad, I did reinstall from DVD, but it did not touch the Linux partitions, only the boot loader. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

I haven't had that problem with the "Provider for Google Calendar" on either Linux (version 24.0) or Windows (v17.0.3). It just works. However, I also wonder if Ruth has something else installed, such as Google Calendar Tab. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

Are you saying that I should just have > the one "calendar" tab? Yes. Installing Lightning enables the calendar tab. After installing the provider, I was then able to add the Google calendars to that tab. So, when I look at Thunderbird, I see a tab for email and one for calendar. When I go to the calendar tab, I see the 2 Google calenars I use listed on the left side, below the month calendar. I can add as many different calendars as I wan't, including a local one there. To create a new calendar, I just right click in the area at the left and select new calendar and I go from there. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
