[libreoffice-users] Re: Message URL seems to be an unsupported one when importing .sdw files

My expectation is that the map stays on the page that the anchor was originally attached, so even if new pages are inserted the map moves with the page. Is this expected behaviour or is this a bug? I don't remember now how it was with previous versions of OOo, but I can confirm that when you anchor an image to a particular page, it gets stuck to that page. Anything else you insert/add appears to get positioned around it. I have noticed this with my signature for the documents I write.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problema agrupar-desagrupar datos
Hi Tom and Luis, I forgot about the many translations of LibreOffice out there. But I don't think there is a version in Portugese currently available; however, I discussed the issue of additional translations with a friend several days ago - before this issue was even posted. He said providing a version of s/w in another language was fairly easy: you only have to understand the language you are translating from and the one you want to translate to for verification of the translation. He tells me that there are packages readily available to automate the translation. He says that this is probably how other, non-English versions have been made available for LibreOffice. Some minor editing may be required and, according to him, they are mainly limited to using abbreviations in order to fit the field. So there seems to be a solution already available!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problema agrupar-desagrupar datos
Hi :) Translations done by humans that understand the target language are really the only way to get a useful result. I would guess that sometimes machine-translators help but often MTs generate confusion or amusement rather than good answers - even despite recent dramatic steps forwards in MTs. Luckily this Office Suite has been around for over 10years AND it has a huge international, multilingual community. The Suite has changed names 2 times in the last decade with a few people from the community continuing under the old name each time. Even those left behind continue to help this project and TDF tries to share good results with them too. Brazilian-Portuguese has at least 2 fairly massive communities and i think 1 of them even gets funding to help with marketing, support, development and translations. German and Italian teams are also strong. Pardus (one government's operating system (a linux desktop distro)) was one of the first adopters of LibreOffice. Most other countries that fund development of their own linux desktop distros already have (or soon will (probably)) adopt LO too. Translations are NOT a trivial issue but LibreOffice has support from several large organisations (RedHat, Canonical, Ubuntu-community etc) and even some support from various governments. It does seem that LibreOffice builds a lot from voluntary work and highly values even small contributions from volunteers but there are other factors bolstering that. Always good to see someone new join, so welcome in :) I still don't know the original problem but hopefully you have been able to copypaste it to an appropriate NL Team's support mailing list.

But I don't think there is a version in Portugese currently available; however, I discussed the issue of additional translations with a friend several days ago - before this issue was even posted. I Glenn yes there is a version of LibreOffice in Portuguese but if you´re referring to Portuguese from Portugal the answer is I dont know... I´m talking about Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BRhttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PT-BR/) which is different from the PT that refers to all other places where the portuguese language is spoken... And I´m proud to say that we are one of the most active LibreOffice communities all around the world. If you want you can take a look at our magazinehttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PT-BR/Revista. He said providing a version of s/w in another language was fairly easy: you only have to understand the language you are translating from and the one you want to translate to for verification of the translation. He tells me that there are packages readily available to automate the translation. He says that this is probably how other, non-English versions have been made available for LibreOffice. Some minor editing may be required and, according to him, they are mainly limited to using abbreviations in order to fit the field. So there seems to be a solution already available! That is a good thing! Regards, Glenn On 2/24/11 12:55 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) English is the only language i understand although sometimes i can understand american geek too.

Spanish is a language used by many people all over the world but so is Mandarin; however, English is the most common language used by int'l businesses and many of us are using OO or LO in a business context. Therefore, communication on the LibreOffice forum should be in English. I think the object we would all agree upon is the need for communication which has proved invaluable to me as a new user.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fill cells with hatched lines/patterns
How do I use my own picture as a background?

I could have sworn, that there is such a possibility in the Format Cell menu. But when I checked I couldn't find a tab where you can define your own patterns (like dashed lines) to put into the background of a cell. Maybe I mix it up with another software (very likely). You can use your own pictures for the background. So if you need such a pattern, why not make it yourself? I have no idea, if this is a good idea at all, or how much work it takes... it just crossed my mind.

Re: [libreoffice-users] comments are disappearing
** Reply to message from John McAtee jlm_connect...@yahoo.com on Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:56:53 -0800 (PST) Comments at end. List I created a file in LO called TEST with a comment and saved as xlsx. I used 7zip to unzip the TEST.xlsx file and found that it created a folder called test with three folders inside one of which is called xl. In the xl folder there is an xml document called comments1. When I opened the file in my browser it had the xml code that listed the cell reference and comment associated with that cell. That seems to answer the question. I certainly hope this helps because I too use Calc spreadsheets as a grade book for students and understand the panic this problem could create.

I've just discovered that when I save the document in Microsoft 2007 format and then open it up again, all the comments I've written disappear. I know now to not use this format any more, but I've now lost comments for about 25 papers. Is there any way to retrieve them? When you worked on the document for some time, sure there will be a backup in the original .odt format? (Saving as .doc does not replace the .odt). That would be the best solution, IMO. Best regards, Cor I've just tried it with LO 3.3.1 and the comments are saved in both cases, i.e. saving as .ods or as .xlsx. I did find that I had to save the spreadsheet after adding/editing comments or they would not be saved. Of course that is to be expected, but I verified it so am mentioning it here. -- Cliff -- 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] Calc trumps Excel
Thought I'd share an interesting experience. I've been trying to use Office 2007 at my new job. (It is a bit of a struggle. I'd rather use Office 2003.) I imported a tab-delimited file into Excel without a problem. One of the fields was in MM/DD/ HH:MM tt format. I wanted to divide the one field into a -MM-DD field and an H:MM field. Excel could NOT do it. It could separate the fields, but Excel *insisted* they had to be text fields (with the apostrophe mark in front). Neither the VALUE nor the DATEVALUE fields worked. After several minutes of being stymied, I installed LO and launched Calc. The same formulas that didn't work in Excel, worked in Calc just as I wanted. So score one for Calc being able to do the job when Excel failed miserably. -- T. R. Valentine Your friends will argue with you. Your enemies don't care.
