Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.4.4 crash after upgrade/reinstall from 3.4.3
You might want to make sure the LO folder in the Program folder [and Program Data folder] has been removed as well. Many time these folders and their user data is kept and would get in the way of a clean install. I do not know where these are, off hand, for Vista or Win 7, but I know I had to remove these type of folders when I needed to do a clean install with Windows. Ubuntu has the folder as a hidden ".libreoffice" folder. I just did an "upgrade" for my 32-bit Vista DELL laptop from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4 with no issues. I still have to upgrade my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop [main system] from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4 though.

Yes. Works (pun intended) just fine with .wps docs created by MS Works 9.0. Tested on LO 3.4.4 build:402. Oddly enough MS Works has a 'saveas' option to save to .odt, but each time I tried it fails with: Works cannot save . There may not be enough space on the computer or Works cannot save the file to the specified destination. And of course I have both enough space and the proper permissions. It does save as a .doc file though. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

Still in LO? Added an an extension - ScriptProviderPython (or something similar) - by default. You can add a new python script by placing into the correct directory. [With LibreOffice NOT running] So - one location ($liboBaseDir) [in my case under linux that is /opt/LibreOffice3.4] The full path is then /opt/libreoffice3.4/Basis3.4/shared/Scripts/python Start LibreOffice and you will find the new script available. Just tested this - worked fine.

[libreoffice-users] getting involved and having a say
Hi :) LibreOffice is excellent and exciting to get involved with. From the outside it might appear dull and boring. I mean it's "just an office suite" right? Actually NO. It deals with issues that reach far beyond the obvious as this draft shows ... http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/ Even with extremely limited or even no former experience (what other sort is there?) the project can help you learn programming skills even while producing results that may well get incorporated into the final product!! Documentation is another good way in to get involved and learn about working with people around the world on this curiously interesting project. There are many other teams that collaborate to get the results out there into the real world. Good luck all and have fun with it!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Microsoft Works
Hi :) Which format does it use? Does it save as .wks or something? Presumably it can "Save As ..." the older MS formats such as .doc, .xls and such, which can easily be read by LibreOffice. I am not certain about wks. How about installing LibreOffice alongside MS Works and trying it out? It is possible and probably a good idea to have each running alongside each other for a while until you become more familiar with LO. At first you can avoid making LO the default app for reading MS formats and just use the right-click menu and "Open with ... " when you have time to explore the unfamiliar. That way when you have to meet deadlines it's easier for you. Installing LibreOffice doesn't mean you have to uninstall MS anything. Just have both :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 16/11/11, John Gregson wrote: From: John Gregson Subject: [libreoffice-users] Microsoft Works To: "Libre Office" Date: Wednesday, 16 November, 2011, 18:50 I am using Win 7 32 & 64 I am just starting to explore Libre Office.

[libreoffice-users] hungarian spelling in slovak version

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I enable "Create" new Python macros?
Tom & Drew, Path to "experimental features" is Tools | Options | LibreOffice | General. Been there, done that. Drew's info about the editor leads to next question: Where is the Python interpreter? Still in LO? How to address it / launch it? Or should I install Python as a self-standing language? The fact that the sample Python scripts execute properly implies that a Pyton environment is already within LO. I would regale the forum with the story of the optimist's birthday present but ... I digress. I fully agree with ditching "not great" editors. -- David S. Crampton On Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:35:04 -0800, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) You need to enable "Experimental features".

The python editor that was supplied was not considered all that great so the decision was to remove it - in other words there is no configuration or other setting that needs to be changed- there is no built in editor anymore. In other words the paradigm now is to develop your script with your editor of choice and then add the macro into your user/or/shared LibreOffice configuration. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
[libreoffice-users] Re: Font disappears in Draw text box
A reply for Proworks1 " Tom - First, my apologies for not answering sooner - I was out of town and did not check email. Second, the matter is fixed, and the answer was surprising. While looking at my font files that I removed from the Library in column mode (file name, date created, etc.), I saw that all my fonts in the user font folder were date created in 1969! It seems the upgrade to Lion set the creation date to this baseline. After changing the date to 1999 with Finder attribute app, the problem was solved. I could then re-add the fonts to the user folder and have had no problems. I suspect the Lion arrangement in handling fonts will do this with old font suitcases/holders. I eliminated some old freeware fonts that were limited in use anyway, so the system runs much smoother. For anyone having font problems of this sort, I strongly suggest checking the creation date if nothing else works. I should have done that sooner.
