Unfortunately, I can only find them in French at the moment, and don't know whether they work on the current versions of OOo/LibO.

[libreoffice-users] Calc too slow in opening Excel spreadsheets
Hello, Has anybody have any (bad) experience with opening Excel spreadsheets in Calc? I'm often working with very large Excel spreadsheets containing lots of formulas and macros. Office 2007 opens these almost instantaneously. LibreOffice takes a very long time and I even have seen it choke on one. I think there's some major rework / rethink needed for Calc because as it stands I'm too embarrased to show it at work. Basically for anything slightly complicated it's not fit for purpose IMHO. Is anything done to address this?

1 or 2 specific instances of something working does not prove that it always works. We have had a number of strange errors in the lists where people have had both LO and OOo installed. Uninstalling one or the other has often been stated as solving problems. I am sorry you don't remember. If you want people to keep having problems and spend ages trouble-shooting when an easy answer is apparently fixing things for people then i really don't know what to suggest.

[libreoffice-users] Frustrated Base Users / Errors in Base 3.3 (OO 3.2 work beautifully)
Hi All Firstly, I'd like to say that I don't completely agree with Andreas Säger's, post http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/msg02064.html Firstly, I have been using OpenOffice from pre version 1 days, and I have to say, when Base reached the 3.2 release it was very good, in fact 3.1 3.2 versions of Base are very good, and if you want to see what can be achieved with Base, have a look here http://ostdb.no-ip.org/ It's a project I have been working on for a while, using MySQL as a back-end. Feel free to download and take the database for a spin, but don't do it in LO 3.3, because Base is severely broken in 3.3, I really wish it wasn't, but alas it is. To read through what I've worked through to test the various combinations of LO and operating system / hardware combinations, read my feedback to ubuntu bug 709778 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/709778 What makes the issues with Base 3.3 worse is that there is no consistency in the bugs, as you will see by reading my posts to the above bug report. NONE of these issues occurred in OO 3.2. This unfortunately reflects really badly on the Open Source community altogether, surely cannot the coding for Base be regressed to how it was in 3.2, until the changes that were attempted in 3.3 can be more thoroughly tested. Please, I may not have the skills to be able to contribute to the source of these projects, but I do my utmost to promote what was OO, and was going to do so with LO, but I'm afraid introducing users to OO/LO3.3 may have a negative impact. To top this all off, I was so looking forward to LibreOffice, but until these hither too not present errors in Base, particulary, are resolved, then I cannot recommend moving to LO. I really hope somebody is able to fix this, and soon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Frustrated Base Users / Errors in Base 3.3 (OO 3.2 work beautifully)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tony, Thanks for sharing your findings and experience (including your work!). You're doing an important part of the job to fix such issues: reporting them and bringing attention to them. I posted separately about the Ubuntu Bug day coming up, it's a great opportunity to learn more about the process and get involved. Reporting bugs upstream is also an important part of that work. Then when developers get to it, the goal is to have a clear idea of what needs to be done. An important next step (after acknowledging such important problems exist in Base) is to make a list and one by one try to reproduce and confirm such issues in a consistent manner, then file individual bug reports for those ASAP. See this post for details on how to join the effort: http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/You-re-Invited-This-Week-s-Ubuntu-Bug-Day-LibreOffice-and-OpenOffice If we wait for someone to be available to work on such issues, when that day comes such people may just have nothing to do if the list is empty ;) Cheers, Fabián - -- LibreOffice questions ?

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.3.0 won't print Writer doc for me on Arch Linux???
I'm a multi-boot/multi-Linux-distro user who always uses the distro's package manager to install applications from distro repos... because I let pacman, apt-get, zypper etc... handle the dependencies for me. I've been using OpenOffice for a long time. That's not to say I'm an expert with it, but I'm used to it. When an Arch update (pacman -Syu) replaced it with LibreOffice, I quickly opened a couple of documents, noted that they looked right, and went back to whatever else I had been doing. Well today I needed to print my lady a few new sheets of the: Diabetes_Blood_Sugar_Chart.odt she uses to track her glucose levels with... LO acted like it was printing to my (cups system default) hp deskjet D4100 series printer (D4160). But Cups never got the print job. After a few tries I did a test page from http://localhost:631/ which worked just fine. Then after a few more failed attempts I tried printing to file which I opened with okular and printed from there... Is there a known printing issue with: LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m18 (Build:4) 3.3.0.2 ArchLinux build-1 That would cause this??? Is this an LibreOffice problem or an Arch Linux one?

Other new-data-only forms allow quick insertion of new foreign key items. Since 3.3 I can continue working as I used to in 3.1.1. 3.0 as well as 3.1 had release stoppers in the Base component. Personally, I am not seriously affected by the current Base issues. Again, these issues are about things that stopped working from 3.2 to 3.3 in one build or the other one. IMHO, the whole thing is very unstable albeit developing very slowly. What has been added since version 2.0? Things that should have been working right from the start plus syntax highlighting in the SQL editor plus report builder which demonstrates the potential of database connectivity. However, the report builder can not help building a working desktop database. It sits on the other end of the data pipeline. According to Alexander Thurgood there are zero LibO devs working on Base. Therefore I tried to outline how this component could be reduced to its core functionality without losing any capability except for useless wizards and the hazardous single-file database. These obsolete features (wizards and embeded HSQLDB) are entirely coded in Java.
