Re: [libreoffice-users] How can I make long words stay on their starting line?
never punctual wrote: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I understand how manual hyphenation works now! From how you explain it, it looks like you understand, yes. By the way I tried out Ctrl + Enter, and all it did was move my cursor down to the next page. I think the key combination should be SHIFT+ENTER. The other key combination (CTRL+ENTER) is actually for Insert page break. Finally, I think I still don't understand exactly how Tools -- Language -- Hyphenation works, but I think I got a little closer. It just says hyphenation complete when I go to it without typing anything, but if I type something and add a manual hyphenation somewhere, that function seems to let me choose where to put a hyphen in a word (the equal signs are places where I can place the hyphen) even if I don't select any text. But this option seems a bit inflexible because I can only insert hyphens at the equal signs, and nowhere else. Am I missing something? Honestly, I haven't really used hyphenation before (especially the Tools - Language - Hyphenation function), so I can't really help you there. Nevertheless, I agree with planas in an earlier post... It appears to work much like spell checking typically does. Looks like you run it after you've mostly completed your document, then it suggests manual hyphenations. But I do suggest adding automatic hyphenation to your paragraph style if you want it to automatically hyphenate your text. If you have automatic hyphenation, then you don't need to add manual hyphenation to words. It is described in the wiki page listed earlier (http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Hyphenation) but I'll just quickly mention it here: 1. Open up Styles and formatting by pressing F11 (if it is not already open). 2. Select the paragraph style that should get automatic hyphenation (e.g. Default). This can be done by selecting the paragraph in the text, or by selecting the style manually in Styles and formatting 3. On the selected style name (within Styles and formatting) do the following: Right-click - Modify... 4. Select the Text flow tab. 5. Under the section Hyphenation (at the very top) tick the box labelled Automatically. 6. Click OK (you can modify the other hyphenation options if you want, but I think the default values are fine). The paragraphs style you modified should now automatically hyphenate. The steps mentioned above are for my system, I'm not sure if they are identical on other operating systems.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Windows Open with
Hi :) Thanks :) Good to see a few copy-left programs in your list of archive managers. Some of those look familiar but i haven't tried them. :) If you open the file-browser and then click on something like Tools - Folder Options - File Types (2nd or 3rd tab of 4?) then you'll see that each file-ending/extension has several sub-categories. I don't think those sub-categories are set by which program created the file = that would be too easy. It is true that if you take a file in Windows and rename it to make the file-ending/extension some random 3 letters then suddenly Windows can't decide what to open the file with. It can be a sneaky way of blocking access to anyone that doesn't know how to use the Open with .. functionality, ie most Windows users. Wow! I was able to open ods and odp with an archive manager to get at the separate component parts of the files. I've never had much difficulty with Open Document Formats so i hadn't tried before.

Re: [libreoffice-users] copy down, copy and paste in calc.
Hi :) Yes, good point! You can fine-tune it by only using the $ in one part of the cell reference so that copying in one direction does change which cells are looked up. For example writing this in say D4 =$A1 + C$3 means that as you copy the formula down the rows the A part doesn't change, it stays a A, obviously. The 1 part changes. The C part also stays the same because of the direction we are copying in but the 3 also doesn't change because it's been fixed by the $ sign. Copying the same formula across several columns the A will still stay fixed because it's been fixed by the $ sign, the 1 wont change because we are staying on the same row. The C will change tho because it hasn't been fixed.

If this is not what you wanted, you can change the reference in C1 to an absolute reference. To do this, select the cell C1 and press SHIFT+F4. The formula in cell C1 will change to = $A$1 + $B$1. If you copy that to cell C2, it will stay = $A$1 + $B$1.

I'm afraid some ways of warning about it will just scare the early adopters, moving them to 3.3.2, without even a bug report about the bug. Maybe one should instead focus on saying if you can't use LibO with this bug, please try 3.3.2 instead, otherwise you're welcome to continue using 3.4.0 and report any bugs you find. For part of the public, it will be no problem too to have both versions working parallel.

(even if the installer is run in customized mode). but I do not know if the customized mode is the way to install it parallel. Do you know/tried this one? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Therefore it is not possible to have both versions installed under Windows. If that is true, it is a bug. So ... ;-) I know this is possible under Linux but this project doesn't care a f*ck about Windows users (even though they are the majority of users, but hey, who cares?) so one can only recommend one version OR the other. Well, maybe this project will benefit if we can get more people involved supporting windows testing. I work on that (within my limited means). Given the degree of regression and bugs added (I totally agree with Tom that 3.4.0 sounds more like a beta-release) and that the developers are not too worried about regressions, in my opinion if someone is using 3.3.2 for work I see no problem but advantages in the release policy. But in this situation, with the many changes done recently, the situation is -let me say - a bit uncomfortable. (and believe me: even if the LO site has a disclaimer about 3.4 being experimental, all other download sites/mirrors don't, so expect a LOT of angry users in the near future) Hmm, indeed, if that works out like that, we have a problem. Do you (or someone else) have an overview, some examples of those spots? I will not recommend 3.4 for anything other than playing around. Well, I do most regular work with it, but depending on the public, your recommendation sounds fair enough. In my opinion, releasing 3.4.0 as Stable was a major error and a shot on the foot for this project. Despite the problems, I don't agree with that.

upscope wrote: Can you install both at same time? I would like to test 3.4.0 to see if any of the calc problems I have with 3.3.2 are fixed. I have a possible work-around. You can use the portable version called LibreOfficePortable. It is available from http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable It looks like they haven't released a 3.4.x version yet (as of 2011/06/13), I suspect they may be waiting for the 3.4.1 release or something. However, the 3.3.2 version is available. LibreOfficePortable does not have any registry entries, all of its required components are stored in the installation folder. It is meant to run off flash drives (and not to leave a trace on the local machine), but works well off the hard drive too. LibreOffice Portable is packaged for portable use with permission from The Document Foundation. So, my suggestion is as follows: Download and *run* LibreOfficePortable 3.3.2 (I guess it's not technically correct to say install, as it actually just extracts the required files). Copy your user settings to LibreOfficePortable (instructions are here http://portableapps.com/support/libreoffice_portable#local_settings). Don't worry, it's not difficult. It's just a one folder copy, I believe. Download LibreOffice 3.4.0 (as from the LibreOffice website http://www.libreoffice.org/download) Install LIbreOffice 3.4.0 Now, your computer has LibreOffice 3.4.0 installed, but it also has LibreOfficePortable 3.3.2. If you get issues with LibO 3.4.0 you can just close it and open the portable version. Unfortunately, this means you have to download 2 versions, which is probably not ideal. I haven't tried the suggestion mentioned in the wiki (as Cor Nouws mentioned, available at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel), this is just an additional suggestion.

Re: off-list Re: [libreoffice-users] Merge cell problem LO3.3.2.2
Hi :) I don't understand why there is such problem with installing LO on your system. I don't think that many other people are having the same problem but it sounds like a nightmare and needs to be sorted out somehow. Perhaps post a bug-report about it? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport As Planas and Stephan said in the other thread the spell-check default is a bit strange. You need to do Tools – Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids Top box needs to have some dictionaries and in the bottom box tick the top option Check spelling as you type and also make sure the toolbar button is pressed, the ABC with a red-wriggle under it. I'm fairly certain all these things were already done by default in my install of LibreOffice 3.3.2 in Ubuntu 10.04 (from the PPAs) so it's a bit weird that it doesn't seem to be the default in Windows at the moment. The spell-checker issue is a classic problem with a modular systems. The advantage is that components can be swapped for other versions, eg take out the English(US) and replace with French, or added or taken out completely. So, each of us end-up with a tailored yet streamlined product. The problem is that choosing the default is tricky. Each of us have different ideas about which is obviously the right way. NOT having a dictionary installed and spell-checker on by default seems a stupid gaff to me and you but a lot of people have learned to mis-trust the spell-checkers in Word and emailing programs because they keep switching language back to US. If people are on a Win2000 or netbook machine with tiny hard-drive space then they probably want as little as possible. One persons bloat is another persons vitally crucial functionality.

I have had this problem twice since moving from OO to LO. Spellchecker was working and then all of sudden I noticed, no matter what I was entering, I wasn't getting ANY red squiggly lines. So would intentionally misspell a word, and no red squiggly line. Go check my settings in writing aids, and I don't show ANY dictionaries available. I'm using what is supposed to be the default ones installed with the program. Have to reinstall it. So, what's making it disappear I have also had an install problem with the last 2 production ready installers. To begin with, my download program has a place to enter to MD5 to check the download. After the download is complete, you enter the MD5, hit enter and if you download is good a red check appears next to the download. It always shows OK. Then at a point where the install is at end of doing its thing, it freezes - it stops. You can't close it, but it also freezes CPU usage at 50%. I open Process Explorer and the installer bin file is using 50% CPU. It will stay there as long as I am willing to leave it and the only way to stop this whole thing is by killing the bin file process. Then I get my computer back. After all is said and done, it appears the install is complete. I have done this multiple times, and the same thing happens every time. I've used a new download and nothing changes. Another mystery Roxy Hi :) I don't know the answer. It's a weird problem that shouldn't be happening. We have had a few problems like that in 3.4.0 but it's odd to have a problem in 3.3.2. Normally when you merge cells it takes the contents of just 1 of those cells. If more than 1 of the cells have contents then the program has difficulty choosing which contents to combine or not or exclude or how to combine. The results can be unpredictable. Excel used to just throw up an error message similar to the one where you try to paste contents into a cell that already contains something. If Calc's behaviour was predictable in previous releases then perhaps re-installing LO or even better, just renaming the profile, might be enough to fix the problem.

(does this now). click into a cell with formula while holding ctl (cmd) down and drag the bottom right black square down, the formula repeats without indexing the references, i.e. copies literally as with numbers. (does not do this now). If you want to copy a formula without indexing the reference, then you can take a look at absolute references. It is described in the LibreOffice wiki (http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Addresses_and_References,_Absolute_and_Relative). A short summary is: Let's say cell C1 contains the following formula (without the quotes): = A1 + B1 If you copy the formula in cell C1 to cell C2 (by either Copy Paste, or by dragging the corner of cell C1) you will get = A2 + B2 in cell C2. If this is not what you wanted, you can change the reference in C1 to an absolute reference. To do this, select the cell C1 and press SHIFT+F4. The formula in cell C1 will change to = $A$1 + $B$1. If you copy that to cell C2, it will stay = $A$1 + $B$1. If you want a more detailed explanation of absolute and relative cell referencing, read the wiki page or ask in this mailing list for more info. Thanks Stephan and Tom. I already understand the use of the absolute referencing. I may not have expressed myself well enough to avoid confusion. 1. Enter say the digit 9 into a cell. Click into the cell, copy. Select 5 cells and paste. 9 pastes into all 5 cells. 2. Now in your email, select a word or number and copy. Select 5 cells and paste. The word only pastes into the top 1 of the 5 cells. It would be nice if the behavior in 2 was the same as in 1. steve -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] help regarding libre office 3.3
Hi :) It's usually best to use the package manager to find and install programs. Windows does not have an equivalent unless a 3rd party one has been installed (which is extremely rare). For Fedora's one see the 11th slide here http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/index.php?linux_distribution_sm=Fedora Star button - System Settings - bottom section System Administration - Software Management I would right-click on that and add a short-cut/launcher to the desktop or task-bar to make it easier to get at. The package manager has search features to help you find stuff that hasn't already been installed, it helps install and then looks after updates too. They also help with un-installing, getting lists of everything installed on the system, history of when programs were installed and stuff like that. It might help you un-install the 3.4.0 and try again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress leads to system log out
Hi :)
The Clear some space option in the recovery menu does about the same as the
Janitor. It 'shouldn't' create problems but if Janitor does then don't use it.
I think it might be worth running Fix broken packages either from the package
manager (synaptic) or from the recovery menu.

Tom :)

It is described in the LibreOffice wiki (http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Addresses_and_References,_Absolute_and_Relative). A short summary is: Let's say cell C1 contains the following formula (without the quotes): = A1 + B1 If you copy the formula in cell C1 to cell C2 (by either Copy Paste, or by dragging the corner of cell C1) you will get = A2 + B2 in cell C2. If this is not what you wanted, you can change the reference in C1 to an absolute reference. To do this, select the cell C1 and press SHIFT+F4. The formula in cell C1 will change to = $A$1 + $B$1. If you copy that to cell C2, it will stay = $A$1 + $B$1. If you want a more detailed explanation of absolute and relative cell referencing, read the wiki page or ask in this mailing list for more info. Thanks Stephan and Tom. I already understand the use of the absolute referencing. I may not have expressed myself well enough to avoid confusion. 1. Enter say the digit 9 into a cell. Click into the cell, copy. Select 5 cells and paste. 9 pastes into all 5 cells. 2. Now in your email, select a word or number and copy. Select 5 cells and paste. The word only pastes into the top 1 of the 5 cells. It would be nice if the behavior in 2 was the same as in 1. steve Hi :) That is inconsistent and i hadn't noticed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress leads to system log out
Hi :)
I think you might need to back-up your data, perhaps everything in your /home
folder using rsync rather than copypaste in order to keep the permissions all
the same. You might need to install rsync or even grsync (the g gives it a
nice
gui).
Can you back-up to external drive or onto a networked drive?

The Clear some space option in the recovery menu does about the same as

I think it might be worth running Fix broken packages either from the

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress leads to system log out
Hi :)
Yes, possibly. I guess you use synaptic to get a list of all currently
installed programs? Linux systems are unlikely to crash.
A misbehaving application might possibly freeze or suddenly close but it
shouldn't affect any other app and certainly should not cause the whole system
to reboot. When stuff like that has happened to me it's been problems with the
hard-drive (or with my install). GPartEd can check a partition for errors and
ring-fence areas such as bad-blocks but you need to do that from a LiveCd/Usb.
Hard-drives tend to go wrong either within the first couple of weeks or after
many years. If it's within the first couple of weeks you might be able to
return it for a replacement.
If one program has frozen the system should allow you to use other programs
quite happily in which case you could open a command-line, find the app's
process number and then kill the app, eg
ps aux | grep soffice
Another way of checking problems with an app is to open the command-line and
open LibreOffice and then see what output happened when the program crashed.
I'm not sure how to pipe the output into a text-file so that you can collect
that as a log even as the OS shuts-down.

Tom :)

When it was originally installed all that was correct in theWriting Aids
window. All the dictionaries that come with the program were in the top Window,
and I had English USA selected, Check spelling as you type was ticked, and
the ABC thing had been done. I check this every time I do a new install because
I had a problem with it after one install, several times ago.
Like I said, everything was working just fine - it was spell checking as I
typed, etc. Then after a while, it seemed like I had done quite a bit of
writing without any red squiggly lines appearing, so I went to check everything
in Writing Aids and there isn't ANYTHING there. NOTHING in the top box I can
even choose from. I went through the install process to Add Components (or
whatever that option says) and everything is back again. I really don't
understand how a part of a program can just disappear like that???
Roxy
Hi :)
I don't understand why there is such problem with installing LO on your system.
I don't think that many other people are having the same problem but it sounds
like a nightmare and needs to be sorted out somehow.Perhaps post a bug-report
about it?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
As Planas and Stephan said in the other thread the spell-check default is a bit
strange.You need to do
Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids
Top box needs to have some dictionaries and in the bottom box tick the top
option Check spelling as you type and also make sure the toolbar button is
pressed, the ABC with a red-wriggle under it.
I'm fairly certain all these things were already done by default in my install
of LibreOffice 3.3.2 in Ubuntu 10.04 (from the PPAs) so it's a bit weird that it
doesn't seem to be the default in Windows at the moment.
The spell-checker issue is a classic problem with a modular systems.The
advantage is that components can be swapped for other versions, eg take out the
English(US) and replace with French, or added or taken out completely.So, each
of us end-up with a tailored yet streamlined product.
The problem is that choosing the default is tricky.Each of us have different
ideas about which is obviously the right way.NOT having a dictionary
installed and spell-checker on by default seems a stupid gaff to me and you but
a lot of people have learned to mis-trust the spell-checkers in Word and
emailing programs because they keep switching language back to US.If people
are on a Win2000 or netbook machine with tiny hard-drive space then they
probably want as little as possible.One persons bloat is another persons
vitally crucial functionality.

Tom :)

Wow, great work from all the devs, full time (paid) and part time volunteers, that helped with this!

At this point, I'd actually be fine if we could just get the Program Description in Add/Remove Programs to properly reflect/display the *installed* language(s), as opposed to just blindly displaying *all* *supported* languages. But on the other hand, and I guess that's what the discussion started with, having to do a separate download for the help, if you want it local, is not so convenient. Correct, that is a separate issue - I would still - especially now that the installer is so much smaller - argue that it just doesn't make sense to provide the help as a secondary installer, and that it should be recombined into a single installer, but I understand the argument about making the load easier on the mirrors too... Maybe it could be scripted? Have a checkbox (I'd argue that it should be checked by default) for including the local help, when the download is selected, just have some kind of script 'concatenate' the two installers into a single downloadable executable prior to downloading?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Windows Open with - reprise - Call for a cleaner
Dear Tom Roxy /i remember this one getting to a slightly unsatisfactory but 'good enough' result?/ Yes; Thanks to both of you ( and the others for their comments). I can see how easy it is to get off track. I installed the free version of Revo-Uninstaller - brilliant I then tried it out on my weakest link - OpenOffice My non-scientific observation is that OO can uninstall about 50% of itself, whilst Revo uninstalled 99.9%. There were a few OO crumbs left in the Registry (as opposed to the 50 -60 using windows uninstall). This is a definite must have program from now on. However, this does not resolve the windows issue that Open With, as it defaults to the 1st one of the 2 installed. For example now the reverse of my problem is true. LO (good news for me) is now the default, I try to open any file using openwith and the browser button, I manually select OO click on it, but it immediately springs back to LO and opens with LO. There is no way to force capture OO using this method. I have tried this now on a 2nd computer and the results were the same. In all other ways its a reasonable result. Whilst they (OO LO) are using identical file names and pathways, I suppose it will remain like this until one or the other changes the names - maybe soffice.exe will become Loffice.exe. What I do not understand is that Lotus Symphony also uses a soffice.exe and it works fine. so thanks and all hail to LibreOffice-users John B - Hi:) Did you manage to sort this problem out in the end? I know quite a few questions from Thursday and Friday got missed and need to be re-posted. I think i remember this one getting to a slightly unsatisfactory but 'good enough' result? Regards from Tom:) On 11/06/2011 16:10, Roxy Robinson wrote: I would suggest using RevoUninstaller to do ANY program uninstalling, and there is a free version. I have used it with great success for quite a few years. If you use the 4th option from the uninstall dialog window, it will use the programs normal uninstaller, first. Then it scans for all leftovers that has left. You will go through a couple of steps where the program will show you what it has found, including what is left in the registry. It lets you pick and choose what you want to delete, or you can choose all and delete. Very seldom have I ever had it leave any crumbles of a program I no longer wanted on my machine. On the open with issue, always be sure, when you have picked a program to open with from the browse window, that the little box in the bottom, left hand corner of that window is checked. It says something like always open this type file with this program. Just a couple of suggestions that may help you out in the future. Roxy Robinson Thanks for the start: I un-installed just OpenOffice and it made no difference - but I was on the move The finish went like this:- Un-install:- Open office, Lotus Symphony and Libra Office Then in Regedit (about 2 hours):- Delete any mention of the above 3 programs and Delete:- all mentions of soffice.exe, swriter etc Delete the directories for the above in Application Data and the Program folders. Then re-install Libra office 3.4 - it works! - I can now use open with Then I re-installed Lotus Symphony 1 - that works with open with Then I re-installed Open office 3.3 - and now that does NOT work with open with. So its whoever is installed first! I am not too bothered this way around as OpenOffice does not cater for Lotus Smart suite files whilst LibreOffice does all praise to LibreOffice. BUT, none of those 3 gets a star for cleanliness when de-installing. regards John B - On 10/06/2011 21:15, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Un-installing OpenOffice often cures weird and unlikely problems especially in Windows. There is still often a clash between OpenOffice and LibreOffice when both are installed on a system. There are some clever ways to install both but i don't have a note of any of the various instructions and have not compared their reliability or effectiveness. Often the main problems occur when the Quick Launcher/Starter is enabled within OpenOffice. Even without that they both use the same names on the command-line, such as soffice --writer so the scope for errors and confusions is quite high. Usually just using the Open with .. and then browsing to the relevant program is enough to push that program to the short-list in the Open with .. option.

BE SURE when you do the step below that you put a check (tick) by the box that
says Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. Easy to miss,
especially if you're in a hurry, or irritated.

I try to open any file using openwith and the browser button, I manually

Re: [libreoffice-users] General input/output error when saving to network drive
Hi, On Mon, 2011-06-13 at 21:24 -0700, protonpusher wrote: I am having a problem saving documents to a share on a network drive. When I attempt to save a file in Libreoffice to a network share I get the message: Error saving the document Untitled1: General Error. General input/output error. In the error message the document is always called Untitled1, no matter what I attempt to call it. Also, if I attempt to open a file on the network share through Libreoffice, nothing happens: the file does not open, but there is no error message. The system is Ubuntu 11.04 on a pc, and the version of Libreoffice is 3.3.2. The drive is a Western Digital MyBook Live. I can view the shares, and if I double click files in Ubuntu they will open in Libreoffice fine. I can also save modified documents to shares on the network drive (can't change the name though, or I get the above error message) . I tested saving files with Simple Scan, and it could save new files to shares on the drive with no problem. Also, I have an old Mac Powerbook G4 with Ubuntu 10.04, and OpenOffice. The G4 can open and save files to the shares on the drive with no issues. I think this is a problem with Libreoffice on my machine. Any though on how I might get Libreoffice to communicate a bit better with my network drive?

How are connecting to the drive, is it a USB connection or some other connection? A few thoughts come to mind, one you could have a corrupt install of LO or something important to communicate with your drive, another you have a misconfigured connection on your pc, or for some strange reason you are missing a package. I would try a quick and dirty check in Synaptic (it may be called Package Manager) click on the status button. If you see a listing for broken packages open it and reinstall the packages. If you do not see a listing for broken packages we will need to dig further.
