[libreoffice-users] RTL text in text form controls
Salam, I try to use LibO as a CRUD application and i'm using both languages Arabic and English for my Data. When designing a form in LibO under Linux/Ubuntu, when i choose the control text direction for the text control, it handles pretty well the RTL language. Doing the same form design under WinXP it always displays text from Left to Right weither you choose RTL or LTR text direction for the text control. Is it a bug that i should file or am i doing it the wrong way ..?

List unsubscribe and commands [WAS]: Re: [libreoffice-users] HTML entities
I had a hard time subscribing, and I see may people have problems using
the list commands.
It looks like my ISP's smtp didn't let me send emails to the
users+subscr...@libreoffice.org address. It silently disappeared (no
error email etc.). Eventually I managed to subscribe via their web-mail
thing. Same goes with the users+h...@libreoffice.org email which I just
tested and has the same problem.
In my case it seems impossible to contact my ISP to ask about the issue
and they even closed tdown the user forums.
I wonder if the '+' in the addresses may be bothering some servers?

One via dialup, and the other is the satellite connection. My original plan was to cancel the dialup service after I had the satellite service under control, but there were other factors away from the dialup versus satellite connections that caused me to decide to keep the dial up. snip Since I use broadband at home, I wanted a no cost one for those rare time I need to get online with my laptop at someone's home, and not have access to a wifi connection. I have been using broadband [DSL or cable modem] since the late 90's and very rarely needed to use dialup service. I use the Fax software more often, and I rarely send Faxes. Now, for those people who have limited broadband transfer amounts or use dialup, LibreOffice people should develop a list of places where you would be able to buy a DVD. OOo use to have many location, worldwide and in the USA. LibreOffice needs to follow that option. The NA DVD project is nearly ready to publish its first release of a DVD. I hope to have it available to purchase [cost of media, printing, shipping, etc.] for the lowest price that can issued at. This type of service would be great for those who cannot afford the time to download LibreOffice [DVDs or software alone] via their slow access. Also, if it is printed professionally we could have a better image for the business market. As for the topic of the thread, the more tutorials, documentation, and samples, we could have on the DVD the better it would be for the user when they have a question or just want to migrate from MSO to LibreOffice. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

You can download *all* available documentation content (including stuff that's still in the pipeline and not yet published) from the LibreOffice Alfresco platform at http://alfresco.libreoffice.org or http://documentation.libreoffice.org David Nelson Exactly what is an Alfresco account? Why would you need to have one? As for the Documentation List[s], I am already on 4 lists already. Also, I do not know if I will ever contribute to the creation/modification of any LibreOffice documentation, due to my brain injuries. Clear communication can be a problem at times when I deal with typing text. Three strokes will do that to a person. As for the documentation out there, I have the latest versions of the two available guides; Getting Started and Writer. Or at least the ones I find at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/; and the WIKI page for documentation. The LibreOffice-NA.US http://libreoffice-na.us/ site is the testing platform for the LibreOffice North American Community DVD Project. Our group is creating DVDs that will service the needs of the following communities; Canadian, US-American, Mexican, and Latin American, including the Hispanic communities. Currently we have our English DVDs 99% ready for publication and are working on the Spanish language version [first draft is 50% +/- done] for those DVDs. The big advantage with our DVDs is the extras. These include as much documentation as we can find. Look at this link to see what we currently have for English; http://libreoffice-na.us/English/documentation.html What we really need now is Spanish language documentation, even if it is just the Getting-Started guide. Also we could use Spanish language extensions/add-ons plus sample files. Right now there is a big void in the Spanish language area of documentation, extensions, templates, artwork, and sample files. THEN we have to do it all over with our French DVDs, that are needed for French-Canada. So the question is what is the advantage of an Alfresco account and being on the documentation list[s]? I am on the Projects list[s], the International Marketing list, the US Marketing list, and the User's list. Would I really need to be on another one if I will not be able to contribute/create/modify the document files? and what about a video documentation? i think that there are people on the community that would like to try doing video learning videos and not a youtube kind of but a more official ones. Eliezer I hope to collect as many videos as possible on the various topics of using LibreOffice. Then with permission, I would like to see a movie DVD made for viewing on a TV or computer.

[libreoffice-users] new article about Ubuntu 11.4 - has info about LibreOffice
Below is a quote from ZDnet article about Ubuntu 11.4 and Unity. The brief text about LibreOffice is nice and concise about LibreOffice's advantage over OOo. What you need to know about the new Ubuntu http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ubuntu/8760?pg=2tag=mantle_skin;content http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ubuntu/8760?pg=2tag=mantle_skin;content quote LibreOffice, for example, is faster than OpenOffice but has the exact same command set and interface. In addition, it also does a better job with Microsoft Office 2007 and up document formats. That makes LibreOffice an excellent choice for working with people who are still using Microsoft Office products. unquote -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Un-subscribe
Don't apologize Bruce. This list is made of people who understands the meaning of cooperation.. Some of us are here to teach, others to learn, and others like me to do both things. But what it really worths is the wish to help eachother. I'm a brazilian member of the list. We have our own brazilian lists and we face the same problems here. My English is terrible, but I don´t refuse in helping people if I can. Timi, I'm really sorry if you´re disappointed about the list but the instructions are clear. You could be one to help the people who has some difficulty in getting unsubscribed. My two cents.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Gun fight at the LibO coral
Bruce (Summit) Maybe you could come out of the woodwork one last time and attack my specific Impress problem... (a) It loses links between interaction -play sound and the MP 3 file annoying if you hv over 400 files linked and they all vanish without warning. No skin off your nose but a * waste of my time. (b) Impress can't convert to .xls without all icon to sound file links being removed/destroyed. Hopeless as a business tool (at least under XP system).

With all your apparent background surely you could encourage someone to stick a filter into the forum that diverts un-subscribe to somewhere else...

If I understand you, you are basically saying that if something is freeware such as LibO then don't bitch if it screws up.. fine if it were a file converter or something but when you enter the commerical world (office products) then be prepared for trades description issues.. There are many websites promoting Impress as an alternative to powerpoint if so then ensure that statement is correct and that Impress can give powerpoint a good hiding which I for one would support and even pay for if it was better I said if! I am at risk of abusing this forum as this type of discussion should be somewhere else. maybe re-direct and we can get to the bottom of this... unless you've gone back into the woodwork...

Except with this list there are three different versions, so people receiving the digest wouldn't be able to use it. Another problem I have lived not too long ago: I wanted to unsubscribe from one of the list. The confirmation reply came about 2 hours later... except I was sleeping at 1:00 a.m. So I did not reply to the confirm message until the day after. So my unsubscribe command was rejected because I did not reply in a timely manner. Nasty, most lists I've seen usually have a timeout period of two or three days to avoid just that. A two hour (or less) window is ridiculous since SMTP can have delays far longer than that. Welcome improvements would be: – the same command should be used for the Digest and NoMail versions Some mailing list software allows for this (e.g. Mailman and Sympa), but the software used for this list doesn't. – immediate reaction by the server This list does have that from the moment the confirmation is received, as do most lists. – unsubscription should happen ASAP, without any need to confirm. The worst case scenario would be someone who (is) unsubscribed by error: that person would simply need to resubscribe. This would be a *very* bad idea. It is way too simple to spoof an email address and with a configuration like that every single person known to be subscribed (i.e. every person who posts) could be unsubscribed by someone else. As the behaviour of confirmation messages is (usually) global, then the reverse would be true and people could be arbitrarily subscribed by an unknown party. The whole purpose of a confirmation message is to prevent nefarious individuals from making changes to the receipt, or lack thereof, of another person's correspondence.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Gun fight at the LibO coral
Hi :) There is more complexity than is obvious here. Timi has asked for help a number of times and not been helped with getting sound working in Impress. He wants to use LO but is blocked and no-one is helping him. He is afraid that he will have to return to MSO because apparently no-one knows how to get sound links working in Impress. Perhaps it can't be done. Perhaps Impress presentations can't have sound at all in any format. This involves a loss of face for him. His work colleagues say he was a fool for trying OpenSource but he has put a lot of time effort into getting it working. Because Impress doesn't work with sound at all (apparently) he has to return to using PowerPoint which is slow. People who advertise OpenSource often claim it is faster and that support is better but to him and his colleagues the opposite has been proven and Timi will suffer for that but so will LO. So far while Timi came here asking for help quite a long time ago now all that the community has done is to either ignore him or attack him, even bully him, but certainly not help him. Our documentation team is very tiny with most of the work being done by only about 4 people. Even in OOo there is very little documentation about Impress but our documentation team is trying to get around to working on it. They do have other, more urgent priorities tho. So, this whole situation, each part of it, is not the fault of any 1 individual but has been an unfortunate combination.

Re: [libreoffice-users] exported PDF file size
I think the only thing that can make an effective difference is ro reduce JPG compression and the image resolution in the PDF Options screen But you should test some different values to find out one setup that fits your needs and keep your images readable.

Re: [libreoffice-users] exported PDF file size
Hi :) I tend to save pictures in 3 different formats to see which gives the best result for the least size. I would always keep a copy of the original. Gif tends to be about 1/10th the size of jpgs or pngs but it doesn't work well on smoothly changing shades so some of the pictures on pages 15, 17, 19, 20, 26, 57, 79, 81, 111, 116, 120, 127, 135, 136 and 139 might not work well but all the rest will probably be better as gifs. To change formats in Ubuntu just install gimp sudo apt-get install gimp and use Save As ... the change the file-ending from .jpg (for example) to .gif. Sometimes png is lighter-weight or sometimes jpg although usually those 2 formats tend to be better for photos. Png tends to be higher quality than jpg but it is also often lighter-weight. Not always tho which is why i try all 3 before committing myself to 1. Note that just changing the format of an image can cause it to degrade a bit or even a lot and changing the entire document to pdf can cause further errors to creep into images. At the moment all your images looked fine to a quick squint test. Do you have all the separate images available to work from? Can you create a new folder for testing different formats?

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 64 bit Impress issues
I have a PowerPoint presentation that runs fine in Libreoffice Impress. If I save it as a odp file it simply will not open. It starts to open then hangs. I was running 3.3.2 If open LibreOffice first and open the odp presentation it runs fine. I have tried downloading and running the latest version 3.3.2 All the files say amd64 and I am running an Intel 5. Same thing happened would not open the odp format. I downloaded and installed it from the synaptic and found that the same thing happened. I find it interesting that when open the About LibreOffice under help does not tell me whether I am running 32bit 64bit LibreOffice. I still have OpenOffice on my 32bit machines and have not tried LibreOffice on them. It seems strange to me that I have more options in Powerpoint format (ppt or pps) and cannot run this presentation on LibreOffice in its native format. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
