Hi there, I don't know is this the right place to send this but ... (you
know) :)
I've had installed Libre Office 3.4.2 on my machine (Samsung r538 notebook -
intel core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD, with installed Windows 7
home Premium x64), I've opened *.doc file created with MS Office 2003 and
tried to save it as *.pdf. The result was that Libre office crashed in the
process of saving the file in the new format.The program tried to restore
the file (it was a success) and I've tried to save it again with the same
result - Libre office crashing on savingthe file. Than I've tried to define
different options for the file in *.pdf format before saving it but again
the result was that the program crashed during the save/convert process.
Afters that I've saved the file like *.odf and again the result was the
same. Than I've downloaded a program for converting files to *.pdf  called
universal document converter (udc.exe) and after installing it Libre office
has stopped to crash on saving documents in *.pdf format. after the final
release of Libre office 3.4.3 I've uninstalled the UDC program and again the
result was that Libre Office crashed during saving the same file in *.pdf
format. I reali like Libre office but after theese problems I've had to
install the 3.3 release of the suite, because (I don't know why) it didn't
crashes during saving the above mentioned file like *.pdf.
My question is, is there gonna be a fix for the problem (maybe in the next
release of the 3.4 line ) or am I the first one to notice It?

P.s
Sorry for may bad English but it's not my native language

This is also valid in an academic setting. My experience with Open
Office while in university: the professors made available Word
documents. If your computer could not read it, then use the computer
in the library to print it. End of story.

Not that I consider Wikipedia as an authoritative source, but this
states quite clearly that it is:

I see, the old argument that the source code is the standard. I
thought that this was a technical discussion, not a religious one.
Sorry, wrong room.

Yes, and I can see you also get the extra shapes in slide 5.  I wasn't
certain that those extra shapes were also bugs - my daughter insisted she
had not created those shapes at any stage and they genuinely didn't appear
to be in the slide but I couldn't imagine that a bug would manifest itself
in that way.

Thanks, I've reported it now, referencing this thread, as

Thanks again for your help!

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I haven't read your post yet but you can try asking in your own language.  Is 
it Greek?  If so there is another list you might be able to use in addition to 
this one
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists#Greek
Whichever one gives the best answer please give a link to that answer in the 
other list if you can  ;)

There is also a Greek version of the international website
http://el.libreoffice.org/
It seems to be one of the most fully translated.  Some languages only have the 
2 crucial pages and some don't have any yet.  
Regards from
Tom :)

With a name like Ilian Ivanov, expressed in Cyrillic, not Greeek, characters, 
that's probably unlikely!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF

[Carlo Strata]

Have you tried to *export* (not save or save as) *your original .doc 
file* to .pdf on *other* systems (Windows, linux, MacOS X; 32 and 64 
bit)? Without installing "universal document converter (udc.exe)"?


If not, could you try it and make we know?

If the file content is free of privacy rules, you could link us so that 
we can test too on our own PCs.


Have a nice afternoon,

Carlo

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Your English was fine.  Lol.  We don't normally "Save As ..." to pdf.  Have you 
tried

File - "Export as Pdf"

Make sure the top option "PDF/A-1a" is UNticked as that has caused a few 
problems.  By default it is usually unticked anyway so that should be fine.  It 
shouldn't be crashing.  If you are forced into using 3.3.4 then that should be 
fine because both the 3.3.x and 3.4.x series/branches are being developed 
alongside each other.  It is worth posting a bug-report against the 3.4.x tho 
because it really should be working fine
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
If you use Nabble to look at this email thread then you can "Reply" and choose 
"More Options" to upload the file to there.  This is a public mailing list so 
if it's at all confidential or contains people's names & addresses or anything 
like that then do not upload the file :)

The mailing list itself can't accept attachments but uploading works in very 
much the same way and does work.
Regards from
Tom :)

Maybe the company wants to have some way to make sure that their document show 
that they come from their office, and not someone doing some creative editing 
and claiming that it came from them.  Digital Signing is not just for MS to 
determine if you have a legal copy of their products.  There are digital sigs 
for emails and web sites.  I have received some documents that must have a 
digital sig or it is not legal.

How many businesses really would risk problems with pirated copies of Office or 
XP/Vista/Win7?  Most would not.

To be honest, if LibreOffice is to be a replacement in the business offices, it 
must be able to handle the file formats, digital sigs, and any other thing that 
a normal user [not power user] would use MS Office for.  That is the market LO 
was designed for.  If LO does not do these things, then business users will not 
be able to switch over to LO and still be able to do their normal office work 
and/or support their clients that do use them.  If people see that LO does 
everything they do now with MSO [including the file formats] AND it is free to 
get and upgrade, then there is not reason to keep using MSO.  If they have 
clients that use .docx and .xltx files and LO did not support them, then these 
businesses would not be able to switch to LO and keep their clients happy.  And 
NO, do not ask [or require] the clients to switch to LO, like one thread stated 
we should do.  You could easily loose those clients for asking.

Why is the default config located at ~/.config/.libreoffice?

I appreciate it being under .config so as not to add to the clutter of my home

~/.config/libreoffice would do just fine.

Impress is fairly annoying although Base is much worse.  Writer and Calc are

People are actively working on Impress and it does mostly work very well but

Tom - thanks in the end Powerpoint export to ODP worked well in saving the
notes, however all the diagrams were messed up. Further problems:
- I would correct the diagram in one file and drag it to another. Both
instances of LibreOffice crashed.
- Bonus the file would be corrupted.

In the end copy and paste was the way to move images.

I'm still grumpy about LibreOffice and its current quality.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Should LibreOffice even support Microsoft secret formats?

This is the only comment that I will make on this, and I think it's
pretty self-explanatory as to why MS formats need to be supported.

I work as an attorney. One of the frequent requirements from judges is
that we deliver copies of our proposed orders to them in MS Word format.

I am in no position to tell a judge that he is using the "wrong" format
and needs to install a plug-in on his county-owned and -maintained
computer--which he may not even have the authority, let alone the
know-how, to do--so that he can read the files I send him.

If LibO stops supporting MS Office files, I will have no choice and will
be forced to discontinue using LibO. I suspect the same is true of
people who work in a more corporate setting, as opposed to a judicial one.


This is also valid in an academic setting. My experience with Open
Office while in university: the professors made available Word
documents. If your computer could not read it, then use the computer
in the library to print it. End of story.


DO NOT worry.
LibreOffice will not stop using Word formats for loading and saving.  
LibreOffice wants to be your MSO alternative.  If it does not support 
MSO formats, then it cannot be, thus it should not happen.  Actually, 
every new 3.4.x update reads/writes the newest MSO formats better than 
the previous one [as far as I can tell and heard from others].


I do not like the idea of people wanting LO to dump its main 
compatibility feature that is needed if we want LO to gain market share 
as a replacement to MSO in businesses and governments.  MSO file formats 
are the business standard.  LO will support that standard.  I would like 
to see ODF become the standard, now that is the ISO for office file 
formats.  MSO formats will still be used by businesses even if ODF takes 
over, so at that point LO will still need to support MSO formats.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF

[Paul D. Mirowsky]

This is probably an incoming document with a format code of some type 
not acceptable to LibreOffice.


I don't think that all codes not used by LibreOffice are stripped on 
opening a document.  Not unwise if you wish for it to look the same from 
the original program.


There error maybe somewhere in the crossover of a format code that is 
used in one way by Libre that creates a malformed program function and 
cannot complete.


 your document, right click and "Clear direct formatting" the 
entire document 1st,  and generate a PDF to be sure this fixes the problem.


If so, "Clear" individual paragraphs until the failure goes away and 
report the code as added in the original program and send a copy of the 
original paragraph and it's repaired version to support.


If this doesn't provide evidence of failure, it may be pagination or 
some other type of code.


This assumes Libre is operating correctly and with integrity to clearing 
all functions.


I am not a programmer or support person for Libre and this is just how 
I'd look at the problem.

This is a problem with the default page setting mechanism on multiple

this already (can't remember the number right now), as it also affects
printing envelopes.

One possible workaround is to manually reset the page settings of your

the page format to the one you want instead of the one it assigned
automatically during the wizard process (if that is at all possible with
reports made with the Oracle Report Builder extension).

[libreoffice-users] Changing a 'hot key' assignment

[William W. Austin]

I have to send this on my private email for various [employment] 
reasons, so I can't mention where I work, but it's a large 
multinational corporation with a very 'conservative' public image.
 
I have been using first star office then OOo and now LO on linux since 
before Sun bought it from the original vendor, and I have been using 
the OSS version since the day after it was first available.  I'm 
considered 'useful but a loose canon' at the office, because I've 
championed OSS solutions since before they had that popular name, and I 
prototyped our original NON-M$ desktops on linux instead of windows 
over ten years ago and got it accepted.

At the office I have, over the years, gotten about 200 people to use 
OOo and now LO instead of msword.  For the most part the transition was 
painless and everyone was happy.

HOWEVER after I moved to 3.4.3 from the older 3.3.x releases I'm 
suddenly hearing a WORLD of complaints about one thing.

The assignnment of the key to bring up search and replace.

Basically they hate the change.

Now instead of a F they have to hit F instead, and 
while from my background as a programmer that seems a trivial change, I 
have had over 70 complaints about this in the last week alone (and 13 
more today). Secretaries, admin. assistants, and managers DON'T like 
change.

So I have gone through the documentation and tried the various 
"options" available, but I don't see any way to give them what they 
want (F = find/search and replace), without editing the code, 
changing it there, and recompiling it myself.  I have to find a 
solution soon as one of the complaints is from a 'management' type who 
is 4 levels higher than I am.  He says to have it for him on Monday 
(PERIOD).

Is there a simpler solution? (replacing the users is NOT an option, 
however desirable...)

So if anyone can clue me in on this one, please help.

Thanks

You can assign F to "find&replace" via dialog "Customize" as it 
has been since the beginning. But this will hide the feature of setting 
the cursor into the input field of the toolbar Find.

4. Create an empty spreadsheet
5. Past the clipboard in a cell

It should work.

Now try (quotes around the name):
"libreoffice-users Mailing List" 
It only pastes what is inside the quotes.
Even past-special doesn't work.

Past into the expression bar, it works.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing a 'hot key' assignment

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Just out of curiosity 
1.  could the F key be re-assigned to jump into the toolbar?  
Swapping the defaults around might be good as a feature-request for the 
longer-term too.  
2.  does anyone know which sub-folder in the config those key settings are 
stored?  Could it be copied to a network folder that everyone could copy to 
their system (or carry the folder on usb-stick or is there a more sophisticated 
way of pushing out configurations like this?
Regards from
Tom :)

F now sets the Cursor into the input-field of the toolbar Find. 
The setting is for all LibO not only for Writer.

You can assign F to "find&replace" via dialog "Customize" as it 
has been since the beginning. But this will hide the feature of setting 
the cursor into the input field of the toolbar Find.

Kind regards

[libreoffice-users] merged cells in Writer (saved as Word 97/2000/xp/2003)

[James]

1. Create a new Writer document
2. Create a new table (whatever it defaults to (but at least 2 rows))
3. Type 'test' in the top left cell
4. Merge the 1st and 2nd cells in the first column
5. SaveAs (change the format to Microsoft Word 97/2000/xp/2003)
6. Close the document and then open it

The merge is lost.

Can anyone reproduce that?

Re: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I think it might be best to file a bug-report with Arch or Arch's tweaked 
LibreOffice.  

The .libreoffice is a standard across 'all' GNu&Linux distros.  I think for 
most distros that means the path is

/home/username/.libreoffice.org/3/user/

Arch seems to add an extra folder and then tweaks most apps/packages to drop 
their . that makes the folder a hidden folder.  I don't know why they don't do 
that for LibreOffice so the folder ends up being 


/home/username/.config/.libreoffice.org/3/user/

I really like they extra depth in Arch because both my /home and /home/username 
folders tend to get filled with tons of stuff that i have no idea about what it 
all does so it's trickier to find things i do want to access.  

So i think it would be awkward for TDF to maintain 2 versions of LibreOffice, 
one for all the other distros and another for Arch family.  I think the easiest 
place to do this would be in Arch somewhere.  I don't know tho.  What do you 
think would be best?
Regards from
Tom :)

My platform is Linux. Distribution is Arch. The build instructions are here:

I don't see anything specifying the user config dir, so I assume what I have is

Re: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Hmm, i just thought.  maybe this guide might help you change the path on your 
machine
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
Just miss out the bits where it installs another version of LibreOffice!

Something else i liked about the Arch install was the inclusion of OpenJdk6 and 
mozilla-common.  IOpenJdk7 has only come out in the last few days so it's a bit 
too recent to use.  You might not need the java runtime at all.  I have started 
unticking it on the various works machines to help LO start-up faster and had 
no problems so far.  It's good to have the OpenSource version available as a 
fall-back in case you do need java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle.  I 
think for most distros the package/add-on to allow documents to open in a 
web-browser is called "mozilla-libreoffice" and we would never guess it's 
different in Arch so it's good to have that included as standard.  Both very 
small packages and including them neatly side-steps a range of potential 
troubles :)

The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden.  It doesn't 
really make all that much difference except that you have to remember it when 
typing out the pathname of course.  

Regards from
Tom :)

In a spreadsheet I would always prefer a list of 2 columns, one for the 
mail address, another for a label and let a formula build the hyperlink. 
This way I can simply edit all hyperlinks in plain text and use a 
descriptive label or not.


=HYPERLINK(A1;IF(LEN(B1);B1;A1)) [show the label text B1 if any]
=HYPERLINK(IF(LEFT(A1)="mailto:";"";"mailto:";)&A1;IF(LEN(B1);B1;A1))

Why is the default config located at ~/.config/.libreoffice?

I appreciate it being under .config so as not to add to the clutter of

~/.config/libreoffice would do just fine.


Sorry that I am going to give you an incomplete answer (too much to do)
But I remember (or think so) I have seen a config file in the program

Works for me: LO 3.4.3 linux. Also tested by merging the cells in the rows.
BTW: you might want to let us know which version of LibreOffice you are

Have a look through the bug reports (above) and see if there is one
identical to yours. If not, then please file a new bug if you can easily
reproduct the issue.

[libreoffice-users] .Doc security risk in MS Office (and .Rtf)

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
LibreOffice is probably unaffected by this issue as it seems to take advantage 
of vulnerabilities in MS Office.  Apparently a slightly modified version of the 
exploit  they suffered from last year can cause them problems again but there 
is a security patch for it in the normal MS Office updates and this time it is 
promised that it will really work, unlike the one from last year which they 
also promised would fix it.  

Quite why you would have DLL files in the same folder as a word-processor 
document or spreadsheet is a bit beyond me.  I am a bit disorganised at times 
but i don't think i ever managed it and it's not the default!  (unless you 
count the desktop or downloads folder where almost anything could be dumped).  

The ZdNet article about this gave some good links
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/ms-patch-tuesday-warning-opening-legitimate-doc-txt-files-brings-code-execution-risk/9399?tag=nl.e550
Such as this one
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-072

Someone recently was saying the MS wanted to discourage or even stop the use of 
.doc to push people into using their newer formats which only really work well 
on their newer products.  All very interesting timing or am i paranoid (or 
both)?  Anyway, it's one more good reason (or 5 according to that last link) 
for using LibreOffice.  
Regards from
Tom :)

In addition, these are stated:

"Starting with Microsoft Office 2007, the Office Open XML file formats
have become the default target file format of Microsoft Office,
although the Strict variant of the standard is not yet fully
supported."

RE: [libreoffice-users] .Doc security risk in MS Office (and .Rtf)

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

This vulnerability is about a side-loading exploit that will cause a malicious 
DLL be used instead of a standard one.  That there is an avenue to a 
side-loading vulnerability by placing certain documents in the same place as 
the DLL is an additional door being closed.  Any Windows program with an Open 
... dialog could be subject to this attack if the search for DLLs is not 
restricted.

I have no insight on how LibreOffice does DLL searches and whether it had to be 
repaired since this became a concern one year ago.  You'd have to check the CVE 
lists for whether anything like that had to be fixed in LibreOffice, and when.  
It might have already been fixed in OpenOffice.org before the fork to 
LibreOffice.

 - Dennis

(I had to deal with this too, but it is basically a "won't fix" in my case: 
.)

[libreoffice-users] (Writer) Numbering Problem - 'Restart at this paragraph'

[T. R. Valentine]

According to everything I could find online, what I'm trying should
work. I looked at Bugzilla and could not find anything, so either I
found a new bug, or I'm not doing something right (not ruling that
out!).

In a Writer document
   A style has been created which on the 'Outline & Numbering' tab, in
the section 'Numbering', is set for 'Numbering 1'.
   Another style has been created which is linked to the style just
mentioned, but on the 'Outline & Numbering' tab, has 'Restart at this
paragraph' selected and 'Start with' set to 1 (but I've also tried
setting it to various random numbers).

In this midst of a section all set to use the first style mentioned
above, one paragraph has been set to use the second style -- but the
numbering does not start over. The numbering continues in sequence.

If, instead of applying a Style, I select 'Format' / 'Paragraph', and
select 'Restart at this paragraph' and set the number to 1 (again,
I've tried setting it to various random numbers), the numbering does
not start over, same as when using a Style selection.

I'm running LibreOffice 3.3.3 / OOO330m19 (Build:301 / tag
libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu 11.04, Linux 2.6.38.11


Any ideas? Or should I file a bug report?

Thank you for taking the time to open the bug report! I'll add the

So file a bug with Arch. You can verify where the default config is
installed by:

$ locate versionrc

When you find it:

$ cat  bootstraprc

Example:

/opt/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc

$ cat /opt/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc
[Bootstrap]
BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR}
InstallMode=
ProductKey=LibreOffice 3.3
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3
[ErrorReport]
ErrorReportPort=80
ErrorReportServer=

You'll see from the above that the standard user configuration files are
installed in ~/.libreoffice/3
(UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3)
so if Arch are putting them in ~/.config/.libreoffice then it's an Arch
issue, not an LO issue & you should take it up with them.

I noted one difference though. In STEP 5 you save as Microsoft Word

difference but maybe you have a different 'Save As...' routine than 
other people.

OOO340m1 (Build:302)




That is not unusual. I can't be bothered reinstalling LO or any package 
for that matter with every minor upgrade.


From memory I went back to a previous version when I encountered a 
problem with a calc file that was misbehaving (eventually identified the 
issue as the file being corrupted during a blackout).


Maybe someone is tinkering with the "Save As..." code. As a work around 
why not find an earlier version for Gentoo.

[libreoffice-users] Draw crashes on opening PDF on samba share.

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
When I got my mac I liked that I could annotate PDF's in preview.
Now I want to sign (ad signature to) them and I find I can open them in
Draw. This is great as the import and manipulation seems a little
publicised feature that works really well (although it is a bit slow
with 25000 elements).
I also have been adding diagrams in vector from pdfs to writer docs
though the long process of pdf>karbon>eps>writer. Now I can just go
pdf>draw>writer.

I have found if I open a pdf in Draw on a samba share I get an instant
crash.
I can copy the pdf local and it opens.
I can copy a pdf that opens local to the samba folder and Draw crashes
on opening.
I can save docs (.odg, calc, odt) to the share ok.
I can export to PDF to the share OK.
I can copy an .odg file to the share and it opens ok.

It is only opening the PDF from the share that Draw crashes. 3.3.4 on
Linux. Bug 40898 filed.

steve

Re: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path

Hmm, i just thought.  maybe this guide might help you change the path on your 
machine

Just miss out the bits where it installs another version of LibreOffice!

Something else i liked about the Arch install was the inclusion of OpenJdk6 and 
mozilla-common.  IOpenJdk7 has only come out in the last few days so it's a bit too 
recent to use.  You might not need the java runtime at all.  I have started unticking it 
on the various works machines to help LO start-up faster and had no problems so far.  
It's good to have the OpenSource version available as a fall-back in case you do need 
java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle.  I think for most distros the 
package/add-on to allow documents to open in a web-browser is called 
"mozilla-libreoffice" and we would never guess it's different in Arch so it's 
good to have that included as standard.  Both very small packages and including them 
neatly side-steps a range of potential troubles :)

The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden.  It doesn't 
really make all that much difference except that you have to remember it when 
typing out the pathname of course.

Regards from
Tom :)



I know it only makes it hidden. I'm seeing more now. 
/etc/libreoffice/bootstraprc contains the line:


UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3

now I need to figure out where that $SYSUSERCONFIG comes from.

Err, sorry, which platform are you on?  Is that Bsd?  It's not the path used in 
Gnu&Linux and i dont remember it looking like that in Windows either although i 
could easily have missed that.
Regards from
Tom :)



My platform is Linux. Distribution is Arch. The build instructions are here:
http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice

I don't see anything specifying the user config dir, so I assume what I have is
the default.

Why is the default config located at ~/.config/.libreoffice?

I appreciate it being under .config so as not to add to the clutter of my home directory, 
but is the "." necessary? It's already in .config!

~/.config/libreoffice would do just fine.
