Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Open pps as ppt
Hello, I just did a test here (Debian squeeze-LibO 3.3.1). I downloaded a file. pps from Internet and asked to open instead of downloading. The LibreOffice opened the file correctly starting the display automatically. But when you click on the esc key Libo closed everything. Then rename the file to .ppt and everything worked right.

The bug that needs confirming is: 1. Is there a missing entry for 'Libreoffice 3.3' in the 'Open with...' dialog, and 2. Does opening the .pps with soffice.exe result in opening it the same as if opening it with LibreOffice Impress - ie, playing it then closing instead of simply opening it in Edit mode, which is what happens on mine with XP Pro... -- Best regards, Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

LibreOffice is not MS Office. So it doesn't have to follow MS Office's rules. It can have its own. As software developer, I have found that switches are better than removing a feature. IMHO, it should have an option to state this behavior. This makes LibreOffice smarter. ;) ...and safer too. There are malicious scripts sometimes that play automatically. Please, let that option, make it as MS Office by default, and I will be happy to set it when needed to edit directly. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

I take a pps and it doesn't stop to edit it either way. The files are associated to the LibreOffice by the installer. If they weren't (when checked at the installer's step) - then it is a bug.

Ok, when you rightclick on a file, and choose 'open with' you should
see a window that contains also a 'browse' button
click this thing, and go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice
3\program" (which is the default location for LibO, or) to the location
where you installed LibreOffice.
Choose the program that's the correct one ('simpress.exe') or
('soffice.exe')
The checkbox in the first screen is also something to watch for if
you're not sure if the selected program will work, than UNcheck this thing..

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc
I have four comments on relative paths in OOo/LO: 1) It doesn't work. I changed to relative paths, created a new file with a relative path, moved both files (source and reference) to another drive and it kept looking for the file in the original location 2) It doesn't make any sense to save a path as relative and show it as absolute 3) It doesn't make sense that the option is called "Save URLs relative to file system". I consider myself an advanced user and I would never consider that this option refers to the location of files my PC. URLs are usually associated (maybe incorrectly) with resources on the web. In any case it's not an obvious name. 4) It doesn't make any sense that the OOo/LO default is the opposite of what users are expecting. If OO / TDF want to create an alternative to the established Office they should follow the same functionality, improving but not disrupting. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-tp2475968p2480367.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc
OpenOffice and LibreOffice use absolute paths ='file:///C:/Source.ods'#$Sheet1.B2 while Excel uses relative paths =[Source.xls]Sheet1!$B$2 This means that in Excel as long as the files are on the same folder or in the same relative folder, the references will work This is obviously a OOo/LO limitation. It is unreasonable to expect people to maintain files in a fixed path so that they work... This also means that if you send a file to a collaborator s/he will have to place it in the same exact path which is unlikely... But your problem must be different since you mention that when you open with OOo this doesn't occur. Can you upload somewhere a couple of sample files where this occurs and paste the link in a post? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-tp2475968p2479400.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

As far as I can see, this error works properly in LibreOffice. #REF! has to do with relative references and how these references resolve when you copy relative references. When they refer to some sheet/row/column out of scope you get either one of =#REF!.A1 (no such sheet) Sheet1.#REF!1 (no such row) Sheet1.A#REF!
