[libreoffice-users] RE: Bespoke background images
Hi Tom, I eventually found the answer by trawling through the Help pages. This was one of those rare instances where LibreOffice isn't as intuitive as it could be. Setting a background image for an object allows new images to be imported. Setting a background image for a whole page doesn't let you import. A bit of an anomaly I feel. Cheers, Charlie.

[libreoffice-users] I need help creating a database for a website
What are the steps that I need to do with OpenOffice to do the following on my website http://www.wirkathome.com/ I have some training lessons that have companies that I work with. When someone signs up with the different companies, they are given their own link. I want them to be able to give the lessons to others, and want to make it easy for them. I want to give them an html address, tha 1. I want to create an order form where someone could place a website address in it. 2. I then want to have that website address placed in my text document using a field. 3. There will be a lot of different companies that they can join. I want my links to remain the same in any of the companies they do not want to join. 4. I then want to give them a copy of my website that will change my links to their links 5. I want them to be able to give that copy to their down-line.. How can I accomplish this using OpenOffice.

[libreoffice-users] base - join same table multiple times
I have the following: tablea - id - name tableb - id - type - total - tablea_id In tableb there can be multiple records for a record in tablea. Like to get to this: tablea.id, tablea.name, tableb1.total1 (if type = 1), tableb2.total2 (if type = 2) I tried to setup a view where I link tableb twice to tablea, but I can't figure out how to define things with regards to the relation. In SQL it would be something along these lines: SELECT DISTINCT `table1`.`name`, `tableb1`.`total`, `tableb2`.`total` FROM `tablea` LEFT OUTER JOIN `tableb` as `tableb1` ON `tablea`.`id` = `tableb1`.`tablea_id` AND `tableb1`.`type` = 1 LEFT OUTER JOIN `tableb` as `tableb2` ON `tablea`.`id` = `tableb2`.`tablea_id` AND `tableb2`.`type` = 1 Is this possible with base in LibrOffice 3.3.2, but could upgrade if a newer version provides this functionality.

If so, turn it on, and look for something strange around the paragraphs that don't print. Second: If you have any printed copy (from back when it worked) scan it in and use OCR to translate it back to text. Then--you'll have to proof-read it, of course--enter it into some word processor and print it from there.

[libreoffice-users] Disappearing headers in .doc files
I have been using LibreOffice since it became the default office suite in Ubuntu and OpenOffice for years before that. I write fairly highly formatted documents, like resumes, which are frequently saved for co-editing in .doc formats. Current version in use is 3.4.4 in Ubuntu 11.10 Until very recently, I could create a header in the following way * Go to Insert, Header and select Default * Go anywhere on the first page and select the page style First Page. This turned off the default header on the first page. * Complete the header on P2. * Save as Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP etc. This method no longer works. The Default header style does not place a header on the first page (that's OK with me). The header on P2 and following appears fine but when I save and re-open the document it not longer is visible. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing
George, This may not be at all helpful, as I am by no means an LO expert, but I have a couple ideas... 1. Have you tried saving it to a PDF file? I was once getting strange printing behavior when I used LO with the Linux Libertine font, but if I saved it to a PDF file first, my output showed up properly. 2. Also, when I get strange behavior in a formatted document, as a last resort, I'll save it as a straight text (.txt) file with all formatting stripped. I can then test it to see if it will print properly. If so, I can then rebuild the formatting. It's a pain, yes, but it's better than retyping the whole document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing
What part doesn't print? If it's always at the end, check the print setting to make sure it's set to print all pages. If that does not seem to be the problem, have you rebooted? I would not expect this to change much, but it might. Did you try exporting it in various formats, then reimporting it? If you've had it for several years, it's probably more likely in *.doc than any other format. Have you tried exporting it as RTF and OpenOffice format plus text? Do you still get the problem exporting it as text, reimporting then printing it? If you still get the problem, you must have some funny control characters that get exported with the text. There are tools to scan for characters that are NOT vanilla ascii, but I'm not familiar with them. Once you can get the text to print as you want, you need to restore formatting and anything else in the original file. I'd delete all the text that does not print plus a bit more, verify that everything retained prints, then add back the text deleted from the *.txt version. If that does not work, then I'd work from the *.txt version and add all the formatting, etc., a part at a time, saving intermediate files until you get what you want. Binary search techniques could speed this work, potentially: If you have one version that has the problem and another version that doesn't, then identify the differences and systematically try a version roughly half way between one that works and one that doesn't until you fix the problem.

In SQL it would be something along these lines: SELECT DISTINCT `table1`.`name`, `tableb1`.`total`, `tableb2`.`total` FROM `tablea` LEFT OUTER JOIN `tableb` as `tableb1` ON `tablea`.`id` = `tableb1`.`tablea_id` AND `tableb1`.`type` = 1 LEFT OUTER JOIN `tableb` as `tableb2` ON `tablea`.`id` = `tableb2`.`tablea_id` AND `tableb2`.`type` = 1 Is this possible with base in LibrOffice 3.3.2, but could upgrade if a newer version provides this functionality. Thanks in advance for any tips. Werner I'm no guru, and I just thought about it in my head. So it will definitely not work... SELECT tablea.id, tablea.name, (SELECT total FROM tableb WHERE type = 1 LIMIT 1) AS `Type1 Total`, (SELECT total FROM tableb WHERE type = 2 LIMIT 1) AS `Type2 Total` FROM tablea, tableb WHERE tablea.id = tableb.tablea_id; cK My thinking is that you do not have enough fields in tableb. What you should have is tableb - id - type - total - tablea1_id foreign key - tablea2_id foreign key You will have two relationships: tablea.id = tableb.tablea1_id where type = 1 tablea.id = tableb.tablea2_id where type = 2 A form for this would have tablea as the main form and tableb as the sub form. Records in the sub form will fall into one of two categories for a given value of the field Name: type =1 or type =2 but not both. I'm also thinking that a query using both tables could be used. I'm not sure how you would want to sort the query. You might want to sort first by the field type (ascending) and second by the field Name (ascending). This would first give you all the data for when type =1. Within this sort, you would have an alphabetical sorting for values of the Name field. --Dan -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] some text not printing
Doug, I used to use WordPerfect [first the Novel product, and then the Corel, after they'd obtained it], so I am aware of the type of feature you are referring to, though I cannot find it in LO, at all. As to your second suggestion, I own two scanners, but neither will do anything at all connected to my Ubuntu Gnu/Linux Box (I guess I'm just lucky that way) need a good list somewhere - like the open printing list that indicates which are excellent, good, fair, and useless in the scanner world. Seems these two I have are - so far as Linux is concerned, just good as door-stops. Thank you so much for your helpful comments.

George E Noon Two thoughts: I think LO has some feature that lets you see hidden features, like carriage returns, new paragraph indicators, etc. I haven't used the feature, but I believe it's there--like in WordPerfect. If so, turn it on, and look for something strange around the paragraphs that don't print. Second: If you have any printed copy (from back when it worked) scan it in and use OCR to translate it back to text. Then--you'll have to proof-read it, of course--enter it into some word processor and print it from there.

Thank you, Virgil; I'll give those suggestions a try ( luckily, as the document in question is a Fraternal body's By-Laws, there are no foot-notes).

Also, when I get strange behavior in a formatted document, as a last resort, I'll save it as a straight text (.txt) file with all formatting stripped.

[libreoffice-users] Re: base - join same table multiple times
Hi Dan and Calvin, First of all thanks for the quick response. Based on what suggested I came up with the following which at least got me to the point of valid SQL for base. Using the actual table names, so tablea becomes Wine and tableb becomes Degustation and I needed another one MarketPrice. Couldn't get Limit to work, would love to know how one would use it. As Degustation table only has a single DeguID per WineID I got what I needed, but in the MarketPrice table I am cheating with the avg(), would really like to get latest/highest based on MarketPrices.PurchaseDate. Could this be done by adding an Order_By clause and Limit or ...??? Anyhow this is pretty clause to what I needed and I probably can live with it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing
Spencer, The document in question is a set of the By-Laws of an Odd Fellow Lodge that I happen to have been Secretary of for 19 years, now. I've had it since January, 2002, when as Lodge Secretary, I was named Clerk of the Committee tasked with 'revising updating the Lodge's By-Laws.

Odd, but i was not that fond of Star Office - but when i got to using Ubuntu, i took right to OOo, which came out of Star Office, as I understand it. Switched to Libre Office a bout a year ago 7 this is really the first problem I've had with it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing
An idea based on my experience with this type of long-lived document. Look for a corruption in the file format. Look for an older version of it (from your archive / backup systems) that might print correctly. True, this idea comes from experience with M$ products. But the formats are not so much different. A long document that receives hundreds of small changes over a period of 1 or 2 years is likely to acquire a format corruption. One such sign is a difference between the file size as reported by LibreOffice and the file size as reported by disk file manager in OS. -- David S.

Hi Cor! I'm using Calc to manage documents from job where each row correspond to a document and has information like dates, values, names, etc., and one historic description that some times takes very long. I made a test inserting historic as annotation and the result looks very good, except the slow down/freezing aspect that do not occurs in MS Office 2010. Actually I inserted the historic as normal string, that is a little difficult to search as I need to press F2 in the selected cell (after using normal search) to see what is written.

First I use Linux, Second I cannot afford Adobe Acrobat which to the best of my knowledge does not have a Linux version. I can create pdf's from LibreOffice and Scribus. I have not had time to try this in Scribus, it is supposed to import pdf's, but latest update gives error on trying to open pdf. Need to report bug. Thanks for your reply anyway. In order to get bulletin out I just recreated the whole document as a pdf form in LibreOffice and then save whol bulletin as pdf.

[libreoffice-users] Printer always selects PDF instead of Postscript
Twice I tried to send this to the new list, and both times it bounced. I give up on the new list. OK, old list now working either. Trying a third new list. Libreoffice 3.4.4 on Fedora 16, x86_64. Printer: Laserjet 4M+ (Postscript Level 2) I used OOo for many years and never had this problem until I switched to Libreoffice. Whenever I print to this printer I must remember to go into Properties Options Device and change the print type from PDF to Postscript. If I do not the text will fail to be kerned according to the font metrics; that is, a proportional font will be spaced as though it was a monospace font. All other applications print fine. There is no setting for this in the driver, which uses a PPD file. I looked everywhere for a setting to set it to use Postscript as the default, but I can't find it. It is extra work to have to change this setting all the time. And usually I forget to change the setting and have to print the page again after I realize that I forgot. This is very annoying, and it wastes paper, toner and electricity. I really hope someone can tell me how to change the default behavior, else I will have to remove Libreoffice and reinstall OOo. -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] some text not printing
Cor, I checked both the cited spots; the first, with the non-printing text selected -- hidden is _not_ checked the second, 'hidden text' and 'text placeholder' are _not_ checked - the other options under 'contents' are but do not appear to be anything to cause this problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing
David, Thank you! You just may have hit upon something. I have an older (continually updated Ubuntu on another HDD, its copy of the same file is slightly larger --- the one with non-printing bits is a 367.5kb file the older one is 371.1kb the difference is only 3.6 kb - but that could just be where the 'wrinkle' is hidden... Now, well - more likely in the morning after I've slept some, ill have to smitch to the other Ubuntu install try printing from that file. Really hope that is the cure. Thanks!

Look for an older version of it (from your archive / backup systems) that might print correctly. True, this idea comes from experience with M$ products. But the formats are not so much different. A long document that receives hundreds of small changes over a period of 1 or 2 years is likely to acquire a format corruption. One such sign is a difference between the file size as reported by LibreOffice and the file size as reported by disk file manager in OS. -- 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
