 LaTeX documents are similar to programs, and must be compiled (sort
 of) to produce typesetted text. If you want to give it a quick try,
 install LyX. Don't know about integration with LibO. At least you can
 write formulas with LyX, screenshot them and insert them as images
 into a LibO document...
 
  The equation editor in LibreOffice (Math) uses a syntax very similar
to LaTeX. The question is: why only similar? Why not using LaTeX
syntax?
  Anyway, it is a common problem to convert LaTeX documents to LO or
MSO formats, which in theory should be quite easy because of the LO
Math and LaTeX syntax similarity, but it actually isn't. 
  I believe, the possible solutions are:
- to make LO Math understand the LaTeX constructions;
- to make an utility which would convert LaTeX into [very similar] LO
Math syntax;
- to use the LaTeX engine installed on the system to compile the
LaTeX syntax in order to insert some complex formula into LO document.

Otherwise it is necessary to re-type all the formulae if you want to
convert between LO Math -- LaTeX.

Or maybe I'm wrong and somebody knows another solution? I'd be glad to
hear that! :)

Unfortunately not. You can set the dpi in the dialog, but that does not 
change the number of pixels. If you double the value for dpi, you will 
get half the width and height in cm. The number of pixels remains. The 
extension really changes the number of pixels. Compare the resulting 
files to see the difference. Compare with 300dpi and 72dpi for example.


Kind regards
Regina

Self Publishing at Lulu.com
http://www.lulu.com/
is worth exploring but i think you are talking about a more traditional, 
professional route.  Perhaps something like 
Editors/Publishing house - Printing company - distribution network/shops?


I thought editors, publishers, printing companies (and all that) demanded using 
doc format or now probably docX?  ODF will become more acceptable once it gains 
market-share through Libreoffice and other programs.  Like OpenOffice there 
have been strong efforts to make sure it gets under-promoted but the shackles 
are off now with TDF driving LibreOffice.  

Since people seem used to getting Rtfs from you i think the best bet is to 
start giving people a copy of your work in both Pdf and Rtf.  

Pdf by default is compressed with very lossy jpg compression but LibreOffice 
allows you to change that.  A Pdf is a lot like a photograph of your work so 
people see how you intended it to be laid out.  Rtf, Doc, DocX and Odt all 
display differently on different machine partly due to having different 
printers and settings.  

Just yesterday i started being able to switch from giving Pdf  doc to Pdf  
Odt to some people.  Notably (for me) my boss has started using Odt for certain 
specific documents that involve images.  I think for most people i still need 
to use Pdf  Doc or Pdf  DocX.  By giving 2 files they get 1 that they can 
edit and 1 that shows the intended layout.  

Most Pdfs editors seem clunky and Adobe's seems to need constant security 
updates which does not inspire confidence in using it, nor in viewing documents 
that it's edited.  LibreOffice can allegedly edit Pdfs but it's easier to edit 
the Doc, DocX, Odt, Rtf or whatever and then 
File - Export as Pdf
or 
File - Print - To File (instead of to a pritner) - Pdf rather than Ps or 
whatever
I've only seen the 1st option but some say they have the 2nd one too.  
Apparently the 2nd one is better. lol



Rtf
I think Rtf was developed as a format that would allow interoperability between 
different programs on different platforms
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=enid=10725
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format
I think it's the default format for Wordpad.  Unfortunately it had fairly low 
take-up, possibly as a result of being a lot more closed and proprietary than 
allegedly intended
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format#Criticism

Now, of course, Microsoft has developed a new Open standard 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx
although MS Office's implementation seems to be sufficiently quirky that 
documents created in non-Microsoft programs that are then opened in MS Office 
appear to be quite messed-up, particularly pictures.  This has effectively 
forced people to buy the newer MS Office suites, 2007 and 2010 (or on Mac their 
MSO 2008) in order to be able to use their new cross-platform Open 
standards.  

The new docX format seems to have led to MS stopping development of Rtf.  
According to 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd797428.aspx
(from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8628 )
it seems that people can still read/write the current version of Rtf in MS 
Office 2010 but it's not clear what will happen in the newer MS Office when it 
comes out in a year or two.

Part of the attraction of Rtf was that it eliminated macros.  When malicious 
code and malware was spread by MS document formats it was often through macros, 
so using Rtf was a good security precaution.  The newer DocX does allow macros 
but, of course, MS assures us that macros are now safe in the new format just 
as they previously assured us that macros were safe in their old

If one knows the latex syntax for equations, it's easy to use and the 
results are quite goot. The only limitation is that latex equations are 
rendered as images inside the document (and in the resulting pdf).

[libreoffice-users] LO Conflicts with OOo

2011-10-27 Thread Harold Fuchs
I installed the new portable LO 
(http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable) on a USB stick. 
When I try to run it, it complains that there is another copy running. It 
seems that this is because OpenOffice's (non-portable) Quickstarter is 
running on the machine. Of course, OOo's Quickstarter is running for 
multiple users who happen to be logged on to the machine (Win XP Pro) so, 
although I can kill mine, I can't kill the others.


Is it right that a *portable* version should be prevented from running by a 
mere office application (not anti virus or lock-down software or parental 
control or anything similar) installed on the machine? Is it right that a 
*portable* program should be prevented from running by some process owned by 
another *non-admin* user? Is it right that LO is interfered with by OOo? Or 
is at least one of these a bug?


Why should I not be able to run LO and OOo at the same time on the same 
machine?

I don't know much about multiple user logins, but the behaviour you
describe is obviously undesirable.  Just as a test, you could try to
open Task Manager (Ctrl+  Shift + Esc) and kill all the LO/OOo
processes.  I don't know the name of the quickstarter process, but the
main process(es) is/are usually soffice.bin and/or soffice.exe.
There should be a tick-box at the bottom Show processes from all
users; can you see the other user's quickstarter if that is ticked?

I may be mistaken but as far as I know, LO and OOo are not expected to
run at the same time (so I don't think it is a bug).  But if they are
both installed on the same computer, they should both work (though not
at the same time).  Same would apply to the portable version(s).

 Why should I not be able to run LO and OOo at the same time on the same

Just to be clear, Latex is a completely different program from
LibreOffice.  LibreOffice (Math) does not need Latex.  So if you want
to use LibreOffice Math (or any other component of LibreOffice), you
don't need to know about Latex.  But I'm sure the ability to import
Latex equations would be much appreciated by people that use Latex

Re: Fw: Re: [libreoffice-users] LO auto save

2011-10-27 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions


Piers Anthony [Scifi/Fantasy writer] has been using OOo/LO to write his 
book for years.  He is a Linux user as well.  He maintains a list of 
publishing company for people who want to have their books published.  
He also has some of his books printed with print on demand service 
companies.  Here is the link to his list.

http://www.hipiers.com/publishing.html

To be honest, as far as I have heard and read, each publishing company 
tend to have their own preferred format for the books you send to them.  
Books with photos and images may be different from text only ones.  For 
print-on-demand companies, Lulu.com has templates for their book size 
formats.  Each book size they produce has a different page format.  Once 
you have your book formatted for that page size [US Trade Paperback is 
6 by 9], then you save it in PDF format so it is exactly the way it 
should look.  From that PDF book, the companies will produce your book.


As for creating a PDF file, LO's Export to PDF works great, if you do 
not have specialty fonts, say handwriting or one that looks like it is 
made out of bones.  If you have some of these specialty fonts, I 
recommend that you use doPDF for Windows and CUPS-PDF for Linux [I use 
XP, Vista, and Ubuntu].  They will produce the documents with the fonts 
embedded [make sure that option is used for doPDF] within the PDF 
document so the reader's system will not try to substitute not-installed 
fonts with ones installed on their systems.  I am told that LO's Export 
to PDF tends to do this with fonts that are not in its core font list.


Here is Lulu's list of book sizes and their templates for the pages and 
the covers for these sizes.

http://www.lulu.com/publish/books/?cid=us_home_nav_bk

As for backing up your documents, I worked at a place that did the 
following:  Daily backs go to a different room in on the other side of 
the building.  Weekly backups went to a building owned by the company.  
Monthly backups went to a location off-site in a building/facility that 
was used by several companies to store their backups in a safe 
fire-proof environment.  For you, having CD/DVD storage along with USB 
Flash drives [thumb-drive, jump-drive, etc.] it a good way to do it.  I 
would save it on your media of choice and place it in a fire-proof 
lock box in a different room than you use for your computer.  Also, I 
would make sure you save copies on CD/DVD of all your work and lock them 
away in a box stored at a different location, on the off chance of a 
fire at your place.  To be honest, you should burn a CD or DVD of all 
your books and seal them in an envelope and have your lawyer sign and 
date it, plus keep it in their files for proof you created it by that 
date and it is your work.  This helps with legal issues if you do not 
copyright the books right away.  I am told that the Library of Congress 
does some book copyrighting, but you will need to verify that.


I saw the listed info about 40 books.  Could you tell us what type of 
books your are producing?  It would be nice to have it recorded that an 
author is using LO to create such and such books.  Piers Anthony, the 
author, was the one that got me looking at OOo in its early days, since 
he started with Star Office, then went to OOo.  He need a package [and 
OS] that could use his type of keyboard and  create macros that would 
help make his work easier.  He went to Linux for the OS that works 
easily with his non-QWERTY keyboard, and OOo for the macro support.  I 
have not kept up with his author's notes and online newsletter, so I do 
not know if he has switched over to LO, when OOo stopped putting out 
updates.  As I said, it would be nice to have a list of authors and 
document/book types created using LO.  It is a good marketing tool.  
These authors and businesses use LO to do their work, you can too . . .


I hope this helps you in some way.  I had to do the research about 
print-on-demand services for a local historical society's history books 
publications.

I think even if the one from WebMaster does work then it's probably still a

 http://www.4shared.com/file/vVVFz6aA/EnhancedGraphicExportDialogs.html
 instead.
 
 AFAIK this extension is useless: that feature was introduced in csw
 impress186:
 
 Changeset:  272157 (2f5f6d960787) impress186: #i4499# graphic dialog 
 reorganisation - added support of bitmap resolution
 User:   sjs...@openoffice.org
 Date:   2010-06-16 06:33:39 +0200 (16 months)
 Parent: 268734 (9f08556668b1) #i111884# added new dependency
 Child:  272158 (b601699aaa39) impress186: merge with DEV300_m82
 
 svtools/source/filter.vcl/filter/exportdialog.cxx (was added)
 Now it's /svtools/source/filter/exportdialog.cxx|hxx|src|hrc
 
 And AFAIK this is integrated in LO.
 
 Unfortunately not. You can set the dpi in the dialog, but that does
 not change the number of pixels. If you double the value for dpi,
 you will get half the width and height in cm. The number of pixels
 remains. The extension really changes the number of pixels. Compare
 the resulting files to see the difference. Compare with 300dpi and
 72dpi for example.

you're right. Then this is a bug in the implementation, according to
the comment in the extensions site the core implementation should do the
same:

Update: Sven Jacobi from Oracle did a native implementation of this
dialog for OOo. It will be available for OOo 3.4. So starting from OOo
3.4 this extension will no longer be needed.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/EnhancedGraphicExportDialogs
(to get that page I had to refresh the browser several times, but it
seems still online).

I tried to find a link to the extension source code, but could find it.
It may be interesting to look what the extensions does, it uses UNO API,
so it can obviously be done in the core implementation.

I'm CCing Christian Lippka, may be he has still the code and can share it.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice unable to open from or save to PogoPlug

2011-10-27 Thread rockhopper
I recently purchased a Pogoplug to which I have attached an ext3 formatted
drive.  Having moved some LibreOffice documents to the attached drive I am
unable to open them.  Double clicking on the icons in Nautilus or opening
through LibreOffice results in the following error:

General input/output error while accessing filename

filename is the full path to the file.  I get the same error when trying to
save a new file to the device.

I got the error with LibreOffice 3.3.4 and today updated to 3.4.3, through
the Launchpad repository, and receive the same error.

The Pogoplug is mounted using the 32-bit version of the companies software -
pogoplugfs.  I believe this is using FUSE to mount the drive.  All other
programs I've tried open and save from/to the Pogoplug without errors.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

[libreoffice-users] Text highlighting in LO Impress

2011-10-27 Thread v_2e
  Hello!
  Could someone please tell me if it is possible to choose the text
background colour in LO Impress just like one can do it in LO Writer?
The problem is: I can easily mark  (or highlight) any separate word
with any colour in Writer, but I cannot find such function in Impress,
while it is quite important for the presentations.

  Thanks for any help!
Vladimir

Hi,

Check your file locking options and write permissions on the Pogoplug 
device. See a similar thread on this list about writing/opening to NAS.
