[libreoffice-users] Re: Linked Cell says True instead of Showing the value

[Jack Cambel]

So sorry for the late reply, it got lost in the flood of mail. I have to figure 
out to better organize my mail.  

I figured it out, I don't know why or how but Cell Format was set in Boolean 
Value.

nvsoar Could be. Nobody can tell without any data nor formulas from 
the original poster. Unlike Excel, the boolean data type is just a subtype of 
the decimal type. The number format "BOOLEAN" displays any non-zero number as 
TRUE and all the rest as FALSE. In Excel there is a separate boolean data type, 
so TRUE and FALSE are never equal to any number.

Hi :)
It might be worth starting a new thread with just a brief new email.  The list 
has been quiet for a couple of days so they might notice it this time.  
Normally 
i would say just bump your own thread by posting a new comment to the same 
thread but it's been ages since you posted so it's probably better to politely 
try to  catch attention afresh.  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Linking between two separate spreadsheets result in Err:509.

[fruitjam]

Dear All,

Whenever I try to link to a cell in a different spreadsheet, the following
error results: 
Err:509.

The following formula appears automatically as a result of my attempt to
link the two spreadsheets.
='file:///e:/dox/pc's documents/street address.ods'#sheet1.e4

The two spreadsheets have been created using LibreOffice 3.3.3 / OOO330m19
(Build:301) / tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1.

I understand that there is a workaround using DDE. But that may not be an
easy option for a general user who has limited understanding about how links
work in LibreOffice.

Further, spreadsheets created using MS Office and which have links leading
to cells in other Excel files would also require that such links be replaced
with the DDE syntax. An exercise which is cumbersome in many cases where
spreadsheets run into dozens in a single file.

Yours respectfully,
Fruitjam

The apostrophe in pc's is the culprit.
Encoding the spaces and the apostrophe may work:
='file:///e:/dox/pc%27s%20documents/street%20address.ods'#sheet1.e4
If not, remove the apostrophe from the folder name.

[fruitjam]

Worked! Thanks!

But how do I go about encoding several scores of links in a given
spreadsheet? Do I have to manually edit all of those? Or is there a
shortcut?

I note that blank space, if present, in the sheet name need not be encoded.

Yours respectfully,
Fruitjam*

You can use find&replace to fix all your formulas.
Programmers, administrators and web-designers use to avoid special
characters in path names.
Apart from that, it is *always* a bad idea to split sheets across documents.
The target document keeps a copy of the referenced data anyway, so why not
store all the sheets in a single document?

[libreoffice-users] 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Just a quick note for everyone else who has spent ages balancing the advantages 
of the 3.3.x line with the 3.4.x branch.  The 3.4.3 should give the advantages 
of both.  It is only just released so it's worth looking in the release notes.  
It's probably best to install alongside whichever release you are currently 
using just in case there are a few teething troubles in the first few days.  
This is the release i have been waiting for :)
Good luck  and good work all :)  
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

In the Release Notes it states the following - quote:  "If you run 
Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise 
to e.g. use OpenJDK instead."


Google points to the following URL:  "http://openjdk.java.net/";  but the 
site is either down or no longer valid.


SO any ideas where people can get OpenJDK as recommended in the 
LibreOffice 3.4.3 Release Notes?  For Windows, Linux, and Mac?

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Hmm, i hadn't really noticed that and tend to ignore that particular issue 
anyway.  Hopefully the old java 2.6.0_21 is still quite fast?   The  _22 or _20 
are hopefully still reasonably fast.  The reason i ignore that particular 
disclaimer is because i assume it is aimed at the newer versions of java such 
as 
the _24 or __26 or the ultra new 2.7.something?  I think sticking with the old 
2.6.0_21 or close to it neatly avoids the problems.

Regards from
Tom :)

Well it is good to know Jack was able to sort his troubles out.  I
appreciate him letting people know about that as it's one less thing to
worry about.  I can't remember what this thread was originally about!  I
really thought this was Jack's thread!  In proper forums this sort of thing
doesn't happen quite so much.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Linking between two separate spreadsheets result in Err:509.

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Is it possible to use Camel Case instead of using spaces?  Spaces do seem to 
cause confusions in some places but not others.
IFindNamesLikeThisReasonablyEasyToFollow = CamelCase
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase
It's also quite commonly used in wiki pages to quickly link to pages 

Alternativessuchasthis are almost impossible to read and although i like
Things-like-this or
Underscores_between_words
they sometimes  create problems too.  CamelCase seems to work everywhere tho.

Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Linking between two separate spreadsheets result in Err:509.

[fruitjam]

How do I use find & replace to fix all the formulas which have such lengthy
reference statements? For starters, each cell would have to be checked for
cell references, and then again checks will have to be conducted to identify
those with apostrophes and spaces within the formulas.

The problem is that I do not choose how my users manage their data across
documents. My advice may not be heeded simply because the spreadsheets and
their data come from varied sources. And therein lies the crux of the
problem.

Yours respectfully,
Fruitjam

[libreoffice-users] Re: Fedora 14 and Libreoffice

[Tom]

Hi :)
I am not certain how to install LibreOffice without the report builder. 
hopefully there might be something useful in this guide
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/
or
http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/1218-install-libreoffice-in-linux-fedora-ubuntu-debian-
But i would tend to use the package manager to install which-ever version
the Fedora people have put in the repos instead of downloading and
installing "by hand".  The package manager should make it all easy but you
just have to accept whichever version they have tweaked for Fedora.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Lotus Wordpro files

[Declan Moriarty]

I have managed to open Lotus WordPro files.  I use 3.4.2 on Mac.  The standard 
file that Libo gives to test Lotus WordPro import works.  I have found that 
graphics don't get imported!  Text does.
If you have lots of .lwp files your bet option is to use KeyView for Lotus on 
the PC, or if you have Lotus WordPro, export to MS Word.  Note also the First 
FileView 2.2 and QuickView Plus on the PC will also open .lwp files.

Is anyone able to open Lotus Wordpro files in any Version 3.4?
3.4.2 would generated a i/o error and 3.4.3 give me a blank file.

I still get the following:
"Problem loading page

Firefox can't find the server at openjdk.java.net"

I can download files from the LO web site, so it is not my Internet 
connection.


Where is "from here"?  Where is the server located?  Could there be some 
break in communication, due to the power outages from the Tropical Storm 
damage, and the DNS routering between me and the server have not found a 
new path?  For me, I am in New York State USA, on the eastern fringe of 
the storm.  30-40 mph winds and medium to heavy rains.  Not much damage 
here.  But if you drive 2 hours east, you get downed power lines, washed 
out roads and bridges, and a whole lot of mess.  To get to NY City from 
here you go 1.5 hours east and 3+ hours south [as the highway travels].

Lotus won't install on Windows 7 and we have 1000's of active lwp files
that need modification regularly, so a viewer won't work.
3.3.4 works, so the filters must have been changed for 3.4.x

Any word on if it fixes the bugs with writer/base? For instance, in LO
3.4.2, some forms always display with print layout when web layout has
been selected. LO 3.4.2 also seems to crash when doing a search through
a database form (at least, under Windows XP). Don't have any of those
problems in 3.3.4, so unless those are fixed, I'm stickin' with what I
got!  :-)

I tried that last time, and it removed 3.3 when installing 3.4 (again,
Windows XP). Is there a way to install them side-by-side?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fedora 14 and Libreoffice

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

--- one ---

I did not see the other message[s] in the thread, so the question for me 
is: "Why do you need to install LO without Oracle's Report Builder"?  Is 
there some install issue with that extension?


Also, since it is locked, how do you uninstall it with the Extension 
Manager?


Can you un-archive the download files from LO's web site, then remove 
the Report Builder file from the install files there, and then install 
LO?  Or, would you get some install error when the "controlling" file 
looks for the Report Builder install file and since it does not find it, 
the install is stopped?


I use Ubuntu, not Fedora, so I do not remember if you would use RPM 
install files?


--- two ---

Then there is the ongoing question of why people keep telling other to 
use Repository versions instead of downloading the install files from 
LibreOffice?  I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and the repository version of LO is 
really old.  So I have to install the LO download, instead of using the 
repository.  At least I am not forced to use Firefox 6.x that is the 
default 11.04's repository.


--- three ---

[off topic]
Why I have not upgraded so far.
I have not gone to 11.04 due to a "default" monitor resolution change 
from 10.04/10.10 to 11.04.  My monitor the max resolution of my video 
card and 11.04 uses that for the default resolution install.

Because the primary doc may be used by an employee and that doc
generates information the employee should have no access to. The second
doc has the private data.

This is useful when the primary doc uses a macro to generate the data
for the second doc so the primary doc does NOT have a copy of the output
of the macro.

Re[2]: [libreoffice-users] Lotus Wordpro files

[Grawburg]

Why not install Virtual PC?  I have a client who had to do this and it works 
very well.

You have found one of the major deficiency of Microsloth Winblows.  I use Lotus 
Wordpro for 99% of my word processing, saving OpenOffice/LibreOffice for basic 
documents of less than 5 pages.  Of course, since I use eCS (otherwise known as 
OS/2) I have no problem with my WordPro documents.  On those occasions when I 
must use Windows it is XP.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Perhaps an intermittent problem like the OpenOffice.org servers?

I would definitely try the normal java but a version around 2.6.0_21 rather 
than 
anything newer.  The new ones seem to break LibreOffice somehow but are better 
for web-browsers apparently.  Luckily it's very easy to have both and it's easy 
to select which one LibreOffice uses.  I think the web-browsers tend to 
automatically choose the newest version so, hopefully, it should all work out.
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

There were problems with Oracle's/Sun's JRE - higher number of the 6.x.x 
versions - so I have been told for Windows and maybe Linux and Mac.  The 
7.x.x version is out, but I have not tried it on my Windows computer.  I 
am sticking with the one I have from the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS repository, 
since it works.  In LO Tools>Options>Java [Ubuntu], it shows Sun's 
1.6.0_20 version of Java.  That should be version 6.0.20, so I am a 
little out of date.  The latest "6" version is version 6 update 27.  The 
download page has instruction about removing older versions.  The page 
does not say which version the 7.x.x download is.


So, if you want a working JRE, other than OpenJDK, I/we have version 6 
update 23 on the NA-DVD install page, near the bottom.  Drew is still 
working on the CMS version at the LibreOfficeBox site, so it might be 
better to go to the original site at 
"http://libreoffice-na.us/English/install.html";  Once the OpenJDK site 
is back up, I hope to remember to download copies of it to be included 
with the older Sun JRE that works.  Then people can have a choice.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Linking between two separate spreadsheets result in Err:509.

[Andreas Säger]

Well, you are in the ugly trap of "document security" which simply does not
exist. Once the document is loaded, all referenced data are freely
accessible by means of formulas, macros or using your web browser
(content.xml).
In case of URL links the data are embedded in the document, which is why all
formulas continue working even when the referenced files are unavaillable.
In case of DDE links the referenced documents are loaded invisibly.

A simple database could solve all of your problems. I learned this lesson 12
years ago when my Excel/VBA solution caused considerable financial damage
and a database developer developed a solution within 3 days where I spent
hundreds of hours with VBA and interrelated spreadsheets.

If you have lots of .lwp files your bet option is to use KeyView for Lotus on

Lotus won't install on Windows 7 and we have 1000's of active lwp files
that need modification regularly, so a viewer won't work.
3.3.4 works, so the filters must have been changed for 3.4.x


This sounds like an important regression so I suggest you to file a bug 
after checking if it isn't already filed.

I know there are workarounds, but we want to complete the switch to a
single office suite...Libreoffice.
We run XP, windows 7 and Linux in the office, so Libreoffice is
important for interoperability.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

Tom
you show 2.6.0_21.  My Ubuntu version shows 1.6.0_20.  Was that a error, 
or is something wrong on my end.  The files just say similar to the 
Windows version named "jre-6u23-windows-i586-s.exe".  There is no "1" or 
"2" in front of the version.  The "1" in front of the Ubuntu repository 
version may be their numbering scheme, instead of any other meaning.


I was told, if I remember correctly, that the issues started somewhere 
around update 25 or 26.  The NA-DVD has update 23, since that was a 
version that worked, since it was the one on the original German beta 
test ISO from the later winter or early spring.

I still get the following:

I can download files from the LO web site, so it is not my Internet connection.

Where is "from here"?  Where is the server located?  Could there be some break

the DNS routering between me and the server have not found a new path?  For me,
I am in New York State USA, on the eastern fringe of the storm.  30-40 mph winds

Hi :)
You don't need to know about programming just to report a bug.  It's just like 
emailing really, or a forum post.  Keep the subject line extremely short and 
just use keywords such as "Lotus Wordpro files,  regression in 3.4.x".  Then a 
bit more description in the main part.  Try to keep it fairly brief but 
informative.  

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

It can take a long while to fix a bug and there are a lot of reports to work 
through so don't expect instant results!  You probably can do some Entry Level 
tasks to help the devs but it might not make your bug-report get seen much 
faster as there is so much to do.  

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

Most of us pick some other area to work in such as Documentation or something 
but if you can develop skills or help the devs then that helps the project 
hugely.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Don Myers]

Hi Everyone,

For me, the issues with LibreOffice started with Java 1.6.0_24 and 
continued with 1.6.0_26. I run Ubuntu 11.04. Ubuntu, for the last 
several releases, has not shipped Java with it, but uses an open Java 
called Iced Tea. I always install Sun Java once I have a new version 
installed. When the issues arose with 1.6.0_24, I deleted all of Sun 
Java, and went back to Iced Tea. I had not luck with it working any 
better than the Sun Java 1.6.0_24. I've been running 1.6.0_26 for my 
browsers, and 1.6.0_21 for LibreOffice for about 3 weeks now, and 
everything works perfectly. Based on my past experience of trying Iced 
Tea, I'll stick with the two Java versions. I'm presently running 
LibreOffice 3.4.2 and hope to install 3.4.3 tonight.


The key numbers in versions in comparing Linux versions and Windows 
versions of Java are the 6 ( Linux 1.*6*.0_21  
jre-*6*u21-windows-i586-s.exe ) and the 20 whatever ( Linux 1.6.0_*21*  
jre-6u*21*-windows-i586-s.exe ). So, Linux version 1.6.0_21 and windows 
jre-6u21-windows-i586-s.exe are the same version for their respective 
platforms.

[libreoffice-users] BASE Query/Report

[ncreamer]

The base_tutorial provides an query example where you first count a subset of
data (number of patients with ptsd) and divide that by the total number of
patients with any diagnosis.

Is there a way to - using this same patient example - query for the
percentages of the whole for *all* diagnosis? In the base tutorial, you find
the number of patients with X diagnosis with a SELECT statement. But I want
to COUNT by data entry values and then derive percentages for each of the
whole set.  In the pasted example below, I'm looking at the second select
statement and trying to figure out how to COUNT a total for each diagnosis
present, not just where diagnosis=ptsd. I'm hoping to create a simple pie
chart using the SRB to demonstrate that data. Appreciate any assistance.

SELECT COUNT (*) AS "Total Patients" FROM "Patients"; 

SELECT COUNT (*) AS "Total PTSD Patients" FROM "Patients" WHERE 
"Diagnosis"='PTSD'; 

SELECT( CAST ("Total PTSD"."Total PTSD Patients" AS REAL ) / CAST 
( "Total Patients"."Total Patients" AS REAL )* 100) AS "Percentage 
of PTSD Patients" 
FROM "Total PTSD", "Total Patients";

[libreoffice-users] Setting format code in macro

[Kristian Benoit]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set the format of a column to 3 decimals from a macro.

I found that after changing the number of decimal by hand, the NumberFormat
property is set to 106, but setting the NumberFormat property on a fresh
column is not enough. I guess I must set a format code to "0.000" as in
right-click on column/Format Cells.../Numbers/Format Code, but cant find the
object/method to set that.

Anyone can help ?
Thanks,
Kristian

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Oooops, yes i keep writing 2 when it's obviously 1!  The only bit i really take 
notice of is the end part, the _21 or _20 or whatever.  The 1.7.??? is very 
confusing.  Similarly with Linux (the kernel in Gnu&Linux) suddenly jumping 
version numbers to "something much easier" and skipping a few numbers just 
because Linus Torvalds felt like it, lol.  The java _20 is reputedly about as 
fast as it gets but the _21 is supposedly a bit faster on some systems, if 
that's an issue.  It's probably not worth the hassle if you already have 1 of 
the 3 good ones tho.  


It's interesting to hear the Windows naming is a little different and neatly 
covered my mistake for me! ;)
Thanks and regards from

whatever ( Linux 1.6.0_*21*  jre-6u*21*-windows-i586-s.exe ). So, Linux version 
1.6.0_21 and windows jre-6u21-windows-i586-s.exe are the same version for their 
respective platforms.

Hi :)
Perhaps an intermittent problem like the OpenOffice.org servers?

I would definitely try the normal java but a version around 2.6.0_21 rather than
anything newer.  The new ones seem to break LibreOffice somehow but are better
for web-browsers apparently.  Luckily it's very easy to have both and it's easy
to select which one LibreOffice uses.  I think the web-browsers tend to
automatically choose the newest version so, hopefully, it should all work out.

I'm getting a 73KB/s download.  :-(

For a 73Kb download i would try

2.  Give up.  Perhaps try again in a few hours/days.

[libreoffice-users] Windows - Support Info - why does it show ALL languages?

[Tanstaafl]

Ok, this is really nuts...

Before I go open up a bug about this, can anyone tell me why, if I
deselect all dictionaries except the one I need, who, in the Windows
Add/Remove Programs Support Info dialog, does it insist on showing it
with ALL languages, thus causing the support info window to be even
wider than my 24" 1920x1080 is capable of displaying in its entirety?

[libreoffice-users] Why does the installer pre-select ALL dictionaries?

[Tanstaafl]

Before I go open a bug about this (or maybe there is already one for
both of these issues), why does the installer insist on defaulting to
ALL dictionaries to be installed, instead of simply detecting the OS
language, and pre-selecting just that dictionary, but of course allowing
the user the freedom to choose to install additional ones if they like?

This is nuts too...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fedora 14 and Libreoffice

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
1. Someone using Fedora was getting an error that stopped LibreOffice from 
opening.  It was grumbling about Report Builder so someone suggested he/she 
just 
avoid installing the report builder.  Errr, i don't know about the rest and 
there is not a problem in Ubuntu so don't worry about it.  Ubuntu prefers Deb 
rather than Rpm.  You don't need to use the alien format so don't ;)

2.  Some people prefer the version that has been tweaked especially for their 
favourite distro whether that is Ubuntu, Fedora, Mageia or whatever.  Others 
prefer the latest new toys.  If you have trouble with one way then try the 
other 
;)  You don't seem to have any trouble with either route so you have a free 
choice.  


3.  A lot of people don't like the 11.04 and have done things such as staying 
with the LTS or the 10.10 or moving to Mint or trying something completely 
different or just happy to wait for the 11.10 which might be 'better' since 
Ubuntu's implementation of Unity might have settled down a bit.  Other people 
love 11.04 and can't see what the fuss is about.  I'm mostly staying with 
Ubuntu 
10.04 LTS although have got a few on 10.10 for the extra newer wireless 
drivers.  11.04 didn't work well for me either [shrugs], just like the 8.10 
didn't but the 9.04 did.  


Regards from
Tom :)

--- one ---

I did not see the other message[s] in the thread, so the question for me is: 
"Why do you need to install LO without Oracle's Report Builder"?  Is there some 
install issue with that extension?

Also, since it is locked, how do you uninstall it with the Extension Manager?

Can you un-archive the download files from LO's web site, then remove the 
Report 
Builder file from the install files there, and then install LO?  Or, would you 
get some install error when the "controlling" file looks for the Report Builder 
install file and since it does not find it, the install is stopped?

I use Ubuntu, not Fedora, so I do not remember if you would use RPM install 
files?

--- two ---

Then there is the ongoing question of why people keep telling other to use 
Repository versions instead of downloading the install files from LibreOffice?  
I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and the repository version of LO is really old.  So I 
have to install the LO download, instead of using the repository.  At least I 
am 
not forced to use Firefox 6.x that is the default 11.04's repository.

--- three ---

[off topic]
Why I have not upgraded so far.
I have not gone to 11.04 due to a "default" monitor resolution change from 
10.04/10.10 to 11.04.  My monitor the max resolution of my video card and 11.04 
uses that for the default resolution install.

I don't know if LO likes jre7.  Given that it seems to be going downhill i

Hi :)
Hmmm, i don't think so.  There might be one somewhere but not an official one.  
I think if you want the 3.4.x branch then the best choice is to download from a 
web-site.  If that's going to be around 73Kb/s then i might wait a day or 2.

Hi :)
I think it is more an issue on Windows & maybe Mac than Gnu&Linux or Bsd.  I 
think there already is a bug-report about it in Windows.  In Gnu&Linux, 
particularly if you install through the package manager, there are all sorts of 
things you can 'tick or untick'.

It still doesn't recognize JRE 7 but JRE v6 update 27 is installed and it works 
with that.

I would think that if an update was to be given subsequent to the relaese of 
JRE v7 that 
the update would include its recognition.

Maybe in a major release like v3.5 ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Setting format code in macro

[Kristian Benoit]

Sorry, I forget to point that out, currently using Basic for a macro in
LibreOffice Calc 3.3.3 running under Ubuntu 11.04.

So I guess I should do like you say (oCol.CellStyle = "MyStyle"). But how do
I find out how to format MyStyle ? Currently, the value of oCol.CellStyle is
"Default" whether I change the style by hand or not or even after I set
oCol.CellStyle programmatically:

sVal = oCol.CellStyle 'sVal = "Default"
oCol.CellStyle = "MyStyle"
sVal = oCol.CellStyle 'sVal = "Default"

It still doesn't recognize JRE 7 but JRE v6 update 27 is installed and it works 
with that.

I would think that if an update was to be given subsequent to the relaese of 
JRE 
v7 that 

the update would include its recognition.

Maybe in a major release like v3.5 ?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Setting format code in macro

[Andreas Säger]

If your code applies to a certain type of  spreadsheet:
Create a new template with predefined names, database ranges, styles and
your macros.
Let the code work conveniently with the predefined items. This will save you
hundreds of lines of Basic. Every new document derived from that template
will inherit all the predefined items and the code.
When you modify some style, the changes apply instantly to all the styled
cells and you don't have to change a single line of code. 

If you try to develop generic code that applies to different types of 
spreadsheet you should dive deeply into the API documentation and install an
object inspector. I recommend the MRI extension.

I use to auto-format spreadsheets by means of conditional formatting and/or
function STYLE. I never need any macros for this.

No difference between update 21 and update 26 of JRE v6.

No, this is a LO problem as other software dependent upon JRE works with JRE v7.

My guess is that something about JRE 6 is hardcoded into LO.

[libreoffice-users] Problem with Mail Merge

[Mena Art Gallery]

First, do I need to join a group in order to request help?

 

Second, I am running the old OpenOffice 3.2.1 under Windows.

 

I am attempting to use mail merge to put address information on a newsletter
I am sending out.

I have opened the file with the newsletter, selected Tools > Mail Merge
Wizard.  I am able to select

"Use the Current Document" and Document type.  When I attempt to click
option 2 under "Insert

Address block" it is grayed out and I cannot get past this point.

 

Thank you.

It is not spell checking when it is not working :)
Yes, the dialog opens up (press F7 or select from the tools menu), asks if
continue spell checking from the top, then says spell check complete,
ignoring all the (misspelled) words.
No error messages.
In the Language Settings, western laguages - Default English (USA).
In Writing aids, however, Available language modules was empty.
Found that this was reported as a bug 37195:  
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195
Replaced file configmgr.ini in the user profile directories (...\Application
Data\LibreOffice\3\user\...) with the one from Program Files\LibreOffice
3.4\share\prereg\...
Spell checker working now.  Seems ok otherwise so far.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Setting format code in macro

Hi all,

You should specify the desired number format

Look in AndrewMacro.odt

Search for the function: FindCreateNumberFormatStyle


The example InsertDateIntoCell demonstrates one method to do this.



I found that after changing the number of decimal by hand, the NumberFormat
property is set to 106, but setting the NumberFormat property on a fresh
column is not enough. I guess I must set a format code to "0.000" as in
right-click on column/Format Cells.../Numbers/Format Code, but cant find the
object/method to set that.

Anyone can help ?
Thanks,

[libreoffice-users] Search and replace

[Cecilieaux]

New here. I'm looking for a way to search and replace "carriage returns."
For example, if there are 3 hard returns in a row between every paragraph
and I want to change it to 2, or viceversa.

I downloaded an extension called AltSearch, which is a lot better than the
native Writer search, but it's not a sure thing. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't.

Any recommendations?

I'm using 3.3.0 in Windows and the latest available in Ubuntu Linux (3.x).

To view the carriage returns use VIEW >> NON PRINTING CHARACTERS to
toggle them on or off, default is off.

You can have LO automatically space the paragraphs using FORMAT >>
PARAGRAPHS >> Indents and Spacing Tab to set the paragraph settings.
This is easier than hitting return x times.

In one sense, you cannot: every return *defines* the end of a 
paragraph, so if you have three consecutive returns you have two 
additional, empty paragraphs, in fact.  And empty paragraphs are 
generally a bad idea: instead, set paragraph spacing to establish 
what you need.



Any recommendations?


Use Find & Replace to search for ^$ (an empty paragraph) and replace 
it by something that won't already occur in your document - perhaps 
##.  (You need "Regular expressions" to be ticked.)  This appears to 
catch only alternate consecutive empty paragraphs, which is ideal in 
your case.  Then search for ## and replace it with nothing.


But better still, simply replace ^$ with nothing - to remove all 
empty paragraphs - and then set spacing before or after paragraphs to 
achieve the layout you need.


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined

[Don Myers]

Hi Soumalya Ray and all,

I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 1/2 years, and have been through 
versions 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10, and now 11.04. In my early days 
with Ubuntu, the only way to get major upgrades to Open Office, Firefox, 
etc., between versions, was to download them and install them directly. 
Yes, I know everything is supposed to come from the Ubuntu repository, 
and for the most part I do that. But not with previously Open Office 
upgrades, and now with LibreOffice. I've seen posts here saying that the 
repository versions are better. They are fancier, and tailored to the 
distribution. But from time to time I've had functionality issues. I've 
never had any issues with the downloads from Open Office and now 
LibreOffice. Therefore I follow instructions I found several years ago 
on the Internet to upgrade Open Office, and that I've modified for 
LibreOffice. You need to tweak these instructions for each new release 
of LibreOffice with respect to the the version number and also the menu 
information. These instructions have worked perfectly for me many times 
on many computers, all running some version of Ubuntu. But you will be 
leaving the Ubuntu versions.


Here are the directions for LibreOffice 3.4.3 32 bit for Ubuntu, and I 
would assume other Debian varities:


Download the Debian version from The Document Foundation 
(LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz)
If it was not downloaded to the desktop, move it from the download 
location to the desktop.


Right click on the file and extract this file to the desktop. This will 
give you a file called LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/


Open a terminal, and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb

sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.4-Debian-menus_3.4-302_all.deb


sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.4-Debian-menus_3.4-302_all.deb


CAUTION: I have never run multiple versions on the same computer. These 
instructions will remove any and all versions presently installed and 
install 3.4.3 only. In all instances, all of my default settings, such 
as Java version, have remained in tact.


If you are using Unity, you will need to drag the new icons for the new 
version to the launcher bar.

Hi :)
Just a quick note for everyone else who has spent ages balancing the

advantages

of the 3.3.x line with the 3.4.x branch.  The 3.4.3 should give the

advantages

of both.  It is only just released so it's worth looking in the release

notes.

It's probably best to install alongside whichever release you are

currently

using just in case there are a few teething troubles in the first few

days.

This is the release i have been waiting for :)
Good luck  and good work all :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Linking between two separate spreadsheets result in Err:509.

[fruitjam]

Converting the data into database is not an option that users in my
workplace are keen to explore. Spreadsheets are quick, less time-consuming
when it comes to presenting reports on the fly for most.

I had the notion that LibreOffice supports MS Office 2010 spreadsheet links.
But I was taken aback when it was pointed out that references to external
workbooks created using MS Office 2010 do not even show up when opened in
LibreOffice Calc. Can you help me explain as to why that can possibly
happen?

For example, a cell containing a ROUND function with reference to a cell in
another workbook shows up as only ROUND(,2) when the spreadsheet is opened
in LibreOffice Calc.

Yours respectfully,
Fruitjam

What OS are you using? You might need to uninstall an earlier version,
depending on the OS. Some Linux use 3.3.x and others 3.4.x.

[libreoffice-users] Re: spell checking not working in LBO 3.4.3

[At0mic]

Confirmed, the spellchecking fails on upgrade (Windows XP machine at work)

As per the OP the problem is listed here: 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195 

The configmgr.ini workaround fixes the issue however it's disturbing the
issue is still present.
