Re: [libreoffice-users] Incredibly annoying highlight problem!
On 4/06/11 5:22 PM, Justin Guay wrote: Ok, for many labs for school I have to highlight my answers. There seems to be a bug where, after you click the color you want and the highlight icon, when you move the cursor down (onto the document itself), it moves the page all around. It's essentially acting like a super-fast auto scroll. So you need to continuously adjust the page to get where you want. I'm thinking the correct function should be, after highlighting, you can move the cursor any where and the page won't move. It should only move by using the right side page scroll bars. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's intended to do this, but it seems like a bug because it seems to only work at the top of the page; moving the cursor to the bottom does not scroll down. Hopefully this can be fixed, having to scroll down through pages of documents to get where I need to highlight is incredibly inefficient. Thanks for reading this in advance! Justin Hey, your right.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Base Field Defaut Disables Save
I'm suffering the same problem. OO Base 3.2 workd fine. Having upgraded to LO 3.3 (and tried OO 3.3), any date format field cannot have a default date set. My prior embedded HSQL database (from OO2.x, used in OO3.2) doesn't work - the set default date enters nonsense in the field, which obviously then errors since it doesn't fit the date format. Hence, no new entries can be made. Deleting the default date works OK. However, I don't enter the date in my form - it is always today - so I simply edit the table each day before starting data entry. This no longer works, making LO3.3+ unusable for me. The workaround of using SQL each day is unsatisfactory (and this was not necessary for 3.2).

Re: [libreoffice-users] database
Dear Peter In Vista can you find the Add/remove programs? In Xp and i think in Win7 it's in the Control Panel so hopefully it should be there in Vista also. This should help you remove the help package. You might have more luck with the Clean disk-space tool that 'should' be in somewhere like Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools I think Vista decided to call the Start button something different but it still looks the same and is still in on the taskbar at the very bottom of the screen and to the far-left.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Workflow / vector graphics to LO / Impress
Ilja Gerhardt i...@cryptix.de writes: well, the issue is to include scientific graphs etc. from other programs (plots, CAD, etc.) - the way to inkscape is quite straight forward. But then from there further to LO is a pain (as described). Maybe other people have similar issues and found a better way than 'try'n'error' as I do it right now. Heh, each time I have to include vector graphics in some LibO component, I end up spending lots of time to find a decent workaround. (So, it's really a pain.) PostScript kind of works, LibO won't render it for display, but it appears correctly when you print. So, as a workaround, you can try adding the images as encapsulated postscript, print to file (generates PostScript) and use the resulting file as the slideshow. It won't have any kind of bells and whistles, like transition effects, but at least images and text will be there. Evince (which also runs on windows) reads postscript and has a full-screen slideshow mode; you can also convert to PDF and use xpdf's fullscreen mode (xpdf -fullscreen file.pdf, or Alt+f in a running xpdf). -- Nuno J.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: Has anyone tested the backward-compatibility of LibreOffice 3.4?
Hi :) Thanks PLO. Now that you have confirmed that is likely to be the issue i played around with Format Cells. I couldn't get an ideal answer that shows a - even when the cell is empty but i could get one when the cell has 0 value. Select the range of cells and from the top menus select Format - Cells - Number and look in the bottom box Format code. The standard format for time is HH:MM which pedantically only covers +ve values. Adding something specific for -ve values, such as HH:MM;[RED]HH:MM helps 'flag-up' if soemthing has gone badly wrong. The ; (semi-colon) allows negative values to have their own formatting rather than just defaulting to whatever +ve values have. A next ; allows us to set how we want 0 values to be treated so HH:MM;[RED]HH:MM ;- puts a - instead of a 0 value. Note that values that are close enough to 0 to be rounded to 0 are still shown as either black or red 00:00s in that example. I tried adding more ; to see if that would let us give a - for an empty value but it didn't work. I'm sure there is a tick-box somewhere to do that but it doesn't seem to be in the format cells dialogue box in 3.3.2.

(NB: all the cells are formatted as Time values, and the text cells contain -): http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3023141/%23VALUE-screenshot.png The ODF spec has some rules for converting text to numbers. Those conversion is different whether the text occurs in a simple calculation with operator or the text occurs in a range in function SUM or similar. As LO claims to follow ODF spec, it has to respect this. In future you have to respect, that + - * / ^ will not work on text. You have to ensure, that the operands are numbers. In OOo this can be done by the function N. Unfortunately the spec makes it implemention defined what N does with text. In OOo N returns 0 for text, which I think is useful. In LO it returns #VALUE although the help saws it would return 0. So this behavior seems a bug to me in the N function. Otherwise I would have recommend to use N(C1)-N(B1) instead of C1-B1.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer 3.4.0 --- basic .doc/.odt files not understood properly by MS Office 2010
Hi :) Please file a bug-report http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport rant Oh, you know you can use it happily and safely. It's just MS trying to force people to buy their product by pretending that other things are suspicious. Why people continue to believe MS is beyond me. There are so many reports over the years about their formats being infected or transmitting malware (by their style of macros mostly and ActiveX if that's used) whereas absolutely none seem to have been transmitted by Open Document Formats. However, it does mean that you can't send anything to MS users without looking either bad or superior (depending on the person but usually bad). People that want to appear to be security concious use MS products with stacks of anti-malware and intriguingly sophisticated ways of working to avoid or check sites they visit. But people that are really serious about security and just want to run robust systems without spending hours and hours on keeping it free from malware run a *nix and OpenSource rather than risking letting malware hide in proprietary code that no-one can read or fix. Intriguingly most anti-virus programs claim that about 20% of Windows machines are infected but MS produced one that claimed it was more like 80% and this was heralded as a good thing because the MS antivirus was 'more thorough'. Despite false positives and all that i still think that 100% or Windows machines are infected as Windows itself acts more like a trojan than most trojans imo. /rant The important thing is perception. While you are safe and your files are safe people wont tend to believe that and it might damage their long-term view of how much they can trust you.

Hi :) Have you already posted a bug-report about this or is there already one at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport It might be worth posting one even if you don't have time to search through for one. Triagers are quite smart about doing that and linking similar bugs together.

OO Base 3.2 workd fine. Having upgraded to LO 3.3 (and tried OO 3.3), any date format field cannot have a default date set. My prior embedded HSQL database (from OO2.x, used in OO3.2) doesn't work - the set default date enters nonsense in the field, which obviously then errors since it doesn't fit the date format. Hence, no new entries can be made. Deleting the default date works OK. However, I don't enter the date in my form - it is always today - so I simply edit the table each day before starting data entry. This no longer works, making LO3.3+ unusable for me. The workaround of using SQL each day is unsatisfactory (and this was not necessary for 3.2).

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4 install errors
Hi :) Good point. I hadn't noticed Xubuntu in large friendly letters at the top but just noticed the tiny mention of winamp which i didn't think worked even using Wine. Xubuntu has a boot-menu that includes 2 lines for each kernel. The 2nd ones have recovery mode at the end of their line. Choosing that option should get you to a disturbingly blue screen of helpful things like fix broken packages, clear some space and finally continue with normal reboot. You could also try accessing the Fix broken packages through Synaptic Applications(?) - System - Administration - Synaptic and then look in Synaptic's Edit menu. There might also be a Computer Janitor or Janitor somewhere above Synaptic in the same menu that should do about the same as Clear some space. Regards from Tom :) - Original Message From: Nuno J.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4 install errors
It's a Ubuntu bug if I remember correctly. Something which got hosed with one of the updates having to do with fonts. A later update makes it go away.

RE: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer 3.4.0 --- basic .doc/.odt files not understood properly by MS Office 2010
I've looked into this. FOR THE ODT FILES ONLY: The problem is that Microsoft supports ODF 1.1. The later versions of LO (and OO.o) anticipate ODF 1.2 and by default use ODF 1.2-only features of the manifest in the ODT package. The Microsoft ODF 1.1 implementations do not recognize those features and considers there to be something wrong. If you let Word attempt to correct the document it will, and it will be fine. (The only way it would not be fine is if the document was encrypted using something other than the default encryption that exists for ODF 1.1. But Office won't accept any kind of encrypted ODF document, so the ODF 1.2 differences don't matter.) Then you have the reverse problem. If you save from Word as an ODT and take it back to one of these recent LO (and OO.o) versions, they will sometimes report that the ODF 1.1 that Office produced is corrupt. (This appears to be related to their being some files in the package, such as for images, that are not in the manifest.) If you let the LO (and OO.o) product attempt to correct it will and everything should work fine. The problem is that the corruption message is heavy-handed and there are different ways where the down-level 1.1 and up-level 1.2-ready products are unforgiving, even though it is something that they can fix. Also, if there really is a document corruption, as opposed to one of those correctable matters, we can't tell.

Re: [libreoffice-users] error in menu for tools/language/for selection or for paragraph
OK I think I know a little more than what is stated below. Since English is what I have as my default language, if I do not have any non-English words in the text selected, then I get the error. Now when I add text that is Spanish, the options gives me a number of different Spanish dictionaries to choose from. When I add French text to the document, then it gives me French as an option for the text. NICE how the system knows what languages are involved. So the error only happens when I have ALL English text and try to choose a different language than English.
