[libreoffice-users] Ping Cor - Bug 32948

[NoOp]

Can you please test/recheck:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32948
[Bug 32948] Address Book Data Source Wizard Doesn't Work

If not add it to the '[Bug 35673] LibreOffice 3.4 most annoying bugs'
list... rumor has it that bugs won't get fixed for 3.4 unless bugs get
added to this list:


I am afraid that the use & rules for the Most Annoying Bugs is not
enough widespread yet, so please let me summarize it:

- To get the proper attention to the real blockers, they _must_ appear
  in the Most Annoying Bugs
  [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35673]

- The Most Annoying Bugs are meant for really serious bugs only, and not
  for "my favorite red button should be blue"; such bugs will be removed
  from there

If they do not appear there, there is a big probability they'll be
overlooked, even if mentioned on all the mailing lists many times.

[libreoffice-users] Spanish/French Accent Marks

[nhtrader]

ubuntu 10.04
libreoffice 3.3.0

I'm trying to do spanish and french homework with libreoffice writer. I know
that I can insert special characters, but this is too slow and cumbersome.
In word I can use the ALT Key sequence such as ALT+0153 for TradeMark or
ALT+0169 for copyright. However, the numbers must be from the numeric keypad 
and not from the row above QWERTY. Using these codes is faster than moving
the mouse around and clicking several times.

I've tried the same keystrokes with libreoffice writer and they don't work.

What are the keystrokes required to enter the universal keycode for any
special character such as Spanish and French accent marks?

I suspect it's a false positive based on my own experience. You can probably 
get the same answer from their forums.

I've run into the same issues on a different (VB) program, one I wrote 
myself kept being tagged as a virus by Avira. I discovered finally that the 
reason was Avira at that time detected a setup.exe file in an unexpected 
location but it never said so. It just dug up a name and said I was infected 
by . After some hair pulling and digging I discovered it was triggering 
on a setup.exe in the VB folder.
   First I deleted the file and the problem went away. Put the file back, 
problem came back. Moved the file to Program Files and the problem stayed 
gone!
   Avira was declaring a virus based simply on PATH! Then from reading the 
groups there I decided Avira was using their install base to do BETA testing 
with but not saying so ... I got a support guy to admit it in so many words. 
That was the last time I used Avira!

HTH,

Twayne`

[libreoffice-users] won't open documents & more

[Bob Stia]

Hello Libre Office users,

My first post to this list. Just joined today out of frustration.

First things first. Running openSUSE 11.3 with KDE3.5.10. Libre Office version 
is libreoffice-3.3.1.2-2.4.2.x86_64

I did an upgrade the other day. OpenOffice was uninstalled and LibreOffice was 
installed. 

When I open Libre Office I cannot open a document because it does not see any.
then if I close libre Office it will not open again. Checked for and removed 
any locks I found to no avail. I must close down and reopen my session to get 
it back.

Now, once Iget it back I can go directly to a document, right click it, and 
choose "Open with Libre Oddice Writer" and it will open. I can close and open 
other documents as well and they will open also. However, if I close Libre 
Office and try to do it again Libre Office will not open.

It will write OK but when I go to "Save" or "Save as" it will freeze and I 
must kill it. Then it will not reopen  again unless I close and reopen my 
session again.

Please help. Handling documents is a very important feature for me.

Bob S

Maybe there is something wrong in what I do. Could you explain one more time

[libreoffice-users] Re: .docx can't be read

[plino]

Yes, Tom, there are new problems between build 3.4 and docx which didn't
exist in 3.3.2 (interestingly this applies to the 3.4 betas of both LO and
OOo) E.g. for a docx file containing an Equation, OOo simply ignores the
equation while LO ignores the equation and everything after it.

But it's not a Windows problems (you had to say that, didn't you? ;) ), it's
the way LO/OOo store or interpret docx. Here is an interesting article from
German magazine translated by a "competing" office suite

[libreoffice-users] Problem and Question

[Barbara Tobias]

I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and received LibreOffice 3.3.2
instead of OpenOffice.  

The problem I have encountered is that comments created with Cntrl/Alt/N
disappear when the file is saved and then reopened.

The question is whether there is any place I can go to find differences
between OpenOffice and Libre.  I had been told there was no difference,
but obviously there is at least one because I used comments extensively
with OpenOffice with no problem.

Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] MS Word "broken" after LibreOffice install?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
1.  Try emptying your wastebin
2.  Then empty the deleted files in your email program
3.  In your web-browser try Tools - Privacy - clear temp files cache and all 
that 

4.  "Start" button - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Clear Disk 
Space

2 & 3  can be swapped around if you like.  1 is the fastest way to free-up a 
little space so that the other options work.  The "Clear Disk Space" might be 
called something slightly different and takes ages to scan you drives.  You 
might want to scroll trhough and untick some of the options and perhaps tick 
others.  For example it might be wise not to delete set-up files in some cases.

Windows uninstallers don't always do a great job and need a bit of help 
sometimes.
Please let us know how this goes
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Yes indeed :-)

> anyone know how to create an organizational chart in impress

There is the toolbar Drawing. By default at the bottom of the window.
That toolbar has buttons, among them "connetor" and "flow chart".
(You can click-drag the buttons from the toolbar and thus create a new toolbar).
Click on a shape/line of your choise.
(Release the mouse)
Now drag the shape on the document.
Well, the rest should be be pretty straight forward: ends of lines can be 
connected, the right mouse button gives a rich context menu..

You can also have a look at the documentation - sure there must be lots of 
details about Draw/Impress :-)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Avira antivirus in windows thinks Libreoffice 3.4.0-beta3 is a trojan

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Virus scanning is a bit pointless in linux but it is a good for  scanning 
Windows partitions or over the network, or from a LiveCd/Usb (=bootable 
Cd/Usb).  Trinity Rescue Kit has a good LiveCd for this and other Windows 
problems.  The bootable Cd boots straight into a very simple menu with options 
at the top for anti-virus scanning (it downloads definitions into ram when you 
select this option).

There is the toolbar Drawing. By default at the bottom of the window.
That toolbar has buttons, among them "connetor" and "flow chart".
(You can click-drag the buttons from the toolbar and thus create a new 
toolbar).

Click on a shape/line of your choise.
(Release the mouse)
Now drag the shape on the document.
Well, the rest should be be pretty straight forward: ends of lines can 
be connected, the right mouse button gives a rich context menu..


You can also have a look at the documentation - sure there must be lots 
of details about Draw/Impress :-)

I would create the chart using LO draw, then export the drawing (e.g.
as a png/svg image), to be inserted into the impress presentation

Dotan,
Thanks. I don't think it helps to add a "me too" to the claim of ubuntu 
which is not correct. I don't think it is a fault of ubuntu but of MS$ 
who tries to monopolize the office field.
I can send you the file to your private mail-address but see the mail of 
Tom Davies who suspect -as I do also - it is a MS$ trick which of course 
is extremely stupid as older MSO versions cannot read the file as well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] do not upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 with standard resolution widescreen monitor

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
A lot of work has gone into Gnome & Unity recently with new releases already 
done or imminent.  It's going to take a while for those to settle down again.  
Oddly, KDE is completely stable right now so you might be better with a K 
desktop environment, if you can bear that Windows look.  (Allegedly Win7 copied 
a lot of KDE elements, specifically the new "Start" button) .  Ubuntu 11.04's 
implementation of Gnome DE is very rough compared to Gnome in their previous 
releases.  So the resolution issue is not a huge surprise.  Disappointing but 
not a surprise.

Have you heard that Mark Shuttleworth made a very pro-Lubuntu speech possibly 
signalling that Lubuntu (with the LXDE) might become an officially supported 
branch, like Kubuntu (KDE) and Xubuntu (Xfce).  Hmmm, that's a thought.  I've 
not heard of a new release of Xfce for a while so that must be rock-solid by 
now 
(unless you dislike blue so much that you can't change the colours fast enough).

Obviously this doesn't just affect Ubuntu and does have implications for other 
distros such as openSuse, Mageia/Mandriva, Mint, Fedora etc as they use the 
same 
DEs but Ubuntu's officially recognised family is what i am most familiar with 
at 
the moment.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I use the Live DVD mostly to install it new.  The issue I had was during an 
upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04.
I just wish I knew why it did not except the resolution that was being used for 
10.10.  Even without having the nVidia driver[s] "active", 10.04 LTS defaulted 
to the 1366 x 768 resolution of the Acer monitor.  Why 11.04 did not, I only 
have to guess.

I also planned on no using Unity as well, since I prefer GNOME over what was 
written about Unity.  I use GNOME as the default with some KDE packages 
installed as well.

Ouch.  I was wondering which driver Cor was using in the hope that it might

I assume you mean "I don't.  Thank god" at least that looks like what you mean.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: .docx can't be read

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)

There does seem to have been a recent change somewhere that is creating 
problems 
with docX.  The normal problem of re-arranged pictures and things is inevitable 
even just using different versions of MSO but there have been a couple people 
in 
last couple of days that have sent me docX files that probably would have 
worked 
previously, or at least opened.  Perhaps its a change with the Xml 
implementation in Windows or perhaps some recent fashion or who knows.  It does 
seem to be specifically picture-related but seems to stop files from being 
opened.  Hey, it's Windows, it could be anything.

Dotan, 

"Well, allow me to retort" (as a famous movie character said) :)

LibreOffice IS fully compatible in the sense that it will open any MS Office
file. HOWEVER files created in MS Office may not look exactly the same (or
some features, e.g. Equations not be loaded at all) in LO or OOo

IMO the biggest problem is that files created in LO (and OOo) when saved in
MS Office formats often do not look the same (although users are warned
about this). And that is the biggest obstacle to that strong affirmation in
the Ubuntu site (and probably the largest obstacle for a wider adoption).

Just my 2 cents ;)

That is not fully compatible. That is partially compatible.

Would you say that HTML 5 is fully compatible with HTML 1.0? Because
it is, so long as one restricts his use of HTML 5 to only using 
tags.

I thought to warn people here, since many have had Ubuntu issues related to 
LibreOffice.

I thought someone should let the people know they might want to avoid upgrading 
to 11.04 for now.  There are enough issues with it, as I have read, that should 
make the "average" Ubuntu user wait for a bit before going to it.

It seems that there has been some issues between LO and Ubuntu 11.04 reported 
already.

Actually Ubuntu seems to want you to run 32-bit even though you have a 64-bit 
system.  That is what their web pages seem to say.  So since there has been 
some 
issues with it and LO, and now my found issue with monitor resolution being 
unsupported by my monitor even though 10.10 did not have it . . . . .

I thought to give another case for the LO users to avoid 11.04 64-bit for 
awhile.



Hi :)
I get the opposite impression of Ubuntu.  It seems 'they' want me to use 64bit 
versions when the 32bit has been a lot easier for me.  I think the 64bit repos 
are a lot better now so the slight performance boost might be worth it.  I've 
still only got 2Gb ram but that's not an issue any more :)

I thought it was kind to alert people that there might be issues for some 
people 
with the 11.04 that are not a problem with earlier releases such as the last 
LTS.  I have 1 machine that needs either 10.10 or 11.04 in order to run some 
stupid new wireless dongle.  The old one worked but we upgraded to the new one 
because it was new & more expensive and therefore must be better [sighs deeply] 
[shakes head].  Anyway, most of the rest of the machines can stay on 10.04.  
The 
11.04 works fine on my virtual machine (in gnome) but i haven't really tried 
out 
much stuff, including LibreOffice, yet.

So, thanks for the warning :)
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] I am wondering why the "Final" version of LO in DEB is still called RC2

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

I am wondering why the 64-bit DEB and X86 DEB versions of LibreOffice 
that states it is a "Final" version still has the files named as RC2?


I know that that was the last Release Copy and is the same as the final 
version, but with the RC2 label still on it, it looks like a 
"non-finalized" version.


LO 3.3.2 final is dated 2011-03-22 on the download page, while the DEB 
64-bit is dated 16 March 2011.  x86 is marked 15 March 2011. That 
would/could throw a few IT people off as well.


How difficult would it be to make the DEB version not have file names 
that use RC2 in it?


The RPM version do not have RC2 in their file names.  So I think that 
someone just either forgot or did not think anyone would care.  Business 
people may care a lot.  We want business people to use LibreOffice so 
these things should be something that business IT people would wonder 
about.  Yes most business users will be using Windows, but not all.


I am not being a pain in the -- but since it is May 4th, it would 
come to reason that any Final version of LO would no longer be listed as 
an RC version.

Re: [libreoffice-users] .docx can't be read

Can anybody explain why LO can't read this file?

I suspect the problem is word art.   OpenOffice and LibreOffice has no
equivalent
Please send the file to the email francis.f.dollarh...@gmail.com.

I will look at it in LibreOffice 64  Mint Linux,  Openoffice,  MS
Office 2007


I have the same problem, a .docx with some text and what is probably
some diagrams. It is not understanable in LO and I have had to request a
.doc or PDF.
I suspect it is MS trying to be non-compatible as earlier .docx were not
so bad. As more organisations migrate to MO 2010 and they become less
standard interoperability with LO may disappear altogether.
steve

When MSO forced their way and had their .docx [XML] file format, and the 
other "x" formats, become some sort of world standard, they would not 
provide the documentation to the ISO standards committee.  Then when 
that committee pushed and started to edit that format to make it easier 
to use, for that standard, MS decided that they would not comply to that 
standard.


Also, I have been told that if you create a complex .docx file with the 
latest MS Word package, it will not open properly with Word 2007.  MS 
seems not to want interoperability between MSO releases.  They want to 
force users to keep buying newer and newer versions to be able to read 
the newest format versions.


I use to deal with MSO but no longer.  THEY claim to have included the 
ODF into their package, since it was the world standard, but messed it 
up so it wold not work properly.  MSO wants to rule how you do office 
work, and do not like the fact that some upstarts are going against 
their dictatorship.


Well it is in the middle of the night for me, so my above text might not 
say what I wanted correctly.


The big thing is that I always tell my MSO users to use .doc and .xlt 
formats if they want others to be able to use them.  That way anyone 
with a computer that can use Win XP and newer and bought a copy of MSO 
when they bought their system can sue those files.  Also, the growing 
user base for OOo and LibreOffice can use it as well.  Too many 
companies are dumping MSO for OOo and LO to not make sure that the files 
that are being shared are usable to all others.




I have seen problems with macros not allowing a correct translation.
Formatted text seems to correctly translate. I have not tried embedded
graphics.

Which function exactly are you talking about ? I can't seem to find a
"unique value" function in the list of available functions in the
default list provided with LibO 3.3.2.

If you have not done so already, I suggest you report this on the
freedesktop bugzilla database under the libreoffice project. This would
be at least the second Calc function that does not work correctly.
