I've tried modifying the language of the default style at the F11 key, and the 
language is still at English (UK).

Sorry, autospellcheck is still unresolved and not working.

there is a drop down list. It should contain English (GB) which is what

 This may seem to be a little strange. I have been using LO 3.5 for
opening 5 documents and 2 databases. My recent documents list now shows
seven entries, and I have accessed these seven files today.
 I downloaded LO (64 bit) from the LO website. OS: Ubuntu 11.10 64
bit.
It would be nice to know why some are having a problem with this, and
others are not.

Nearly ;-)

LibreOffice has a time based release plan, so 3.5.0 is a version for "early 
adopters". 

Speaking of "final" in this context may be technically correct but does not 
reflect the bug status very well, as for a .0 version only severe bugs (crash, 
data loss) have been fixed, see release criteria[1].

Every new micro version (.1, .2, .3...) will have less bugs than the .0 
release.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: [libreoffice-users] Word import TOC link style

Hi :)
Thanks Jean :)  So, that is Chapter 12 of the Writer Guide in this link

or at the official website's documentation (same guide is on both)

What template is used for import? If it's the default template for
Writer docs, he could set a custom default template.

Otherwise, after import he could use Template Changer to apply his
custom template; that should be faster than changing the style each
time.

Aside: instead of changing the "Internet link" style in order to
change the TOC's appearance (which also changes it for actual internet
links), I would change the "Index Link" style and apply that style to
the TOC. I think there are instructions about how to change the TOC's
link style in the Writer Guide's chapter on TOCs.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Helper utilities and ODT to PDF conversion.

2012-02-15 Thread 52midnight



Just to make sure, you know that LibreOffice has the --convert-to  
option, so you can simply do:


libreoffice --convert-to pdf 


No, didn't know, and it may be the reason I've been looking for to change  
from OOo to LO.



There's also a tool I wrote that should work on Windows, Linux and  ;
Currently the --convert-to fails when LibreOffice is already running.


Many thanks for these notes and suggestions; I'll certainly look into them.

[libreoffice-users] general input/output error for NFS mounts on Fedora 15 and 16 - libreoffice 3.5

2012-02-15 Thread Kaya Saman


Hi,

I've got an issue that when I try to open or save a document via 
libreoffice 3.5 to my main server I am left with an error message claiming:


general input/output error


I run both Fedora 15 and 16, x64 bit with Libreoffice 3.5.


Running libreoffice while su'd to root I was able to capture some 
console information:

Could anybody help me solve this issue as on the network 'all' files get 
saved and used from the backend server???



The server runs NFS v3 and is FreeBSD 8.2 x64 based with a ZFS pool 
being exported through NFS.



Regards,


Kaya

No, this is not a case. Text Boundaries are still on by default, but instead 
of lines around printing area, they are simply small lines in each corner of a 
page. Turning Text Boundaries off will hide them.

At least in 3.5-rc3, because I had no time to test final 3.5.

Please feel free to replace that word with another word of your
choice. Maybe ”changes” would be better in this case:
”I think one of the changes in 3.5 is getting rid of…”

Or maybe not, hard for me to tell. English is not my native language,

not always.

I'm downloading now 3.4.5 for test that.

In 3.4.4, Extension Manager do'nt ask me for this posibility, like LO do.

Thanks all.

Good advice, Tom. Unfortunately, I am having to uninstall 3.5 as we speak

with some .odt files.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Extension MSOffice

2012-02-15 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions

Hi :)
Obviously if 3.5.x is producing some files in MS formats that MS Office can't 
read then it's worth steering away from the 3.5.x at the moment.  Since 3.4.x 
and 3.3.x didn't have those sorts of problems i would stick with one of those 
or use one of those to fix the problem if it occurs.  

It's usually a good plan to keep one version of documents in ODF format (format 
format again) just in case problems do occur as it keeps everything nice and 
tidy.  

Also MS are giving up on their Rtf format and now phasing out Doc in favour of 
DocX so presumably it will only be a 'few' years before they phase out DocX.  
Regards from
Tom :)

How did you know about http://libreoffice-na.us/English/dictionary.html ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to reach standard.dic

2012-02-15 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions

Which OS are you using?
Windows, Linux, Mac? It makes a difference.

For Ubuntu, I use the Package Manager and search for "libreoffice" and I
will see the dictionaries in the list. I would search for the
dictionary's language code at that point.

Here is a .oxt dictionary file. If you open the file up in an archive
manager [compressed file] you will see the dictionary parts and their
names. You can search for those file names as well.

http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/Swedish-spelling-dictionary---swedish_dict_1.442010-10-07.oxt

If I remember correctly, "standard.dic" may be created by the user for
the words that are spelled correctly by the user and not listed in the
package's dictionary list of correctly spelled words.

My question is - do you have MS Office installed on your system?

If No, then making sure that the "load/save" option is checked.
If Yes, then you may have to do the editing of the "file properties" 
using the file-browser.


I do not have MS Office installed on any of my systems and I make sure I 
check the option for loading/saving MSO files.  I rarely have any issued 
with them either.

Hi :)
I'm not sure but this might help

Tools - Options - "+Load/Save"

The various sub-pages in there have a few options that might help. 

2.  Another way might be to right-click on 1 such document and find the "Chose program" or "Open with.." option.  One of those should be clear about making it a 'permanent' default (except that you can use the same method to change it back another day if you wanted). 


3.  In Windows just open a file-browser so that you can see documents inside 
any folder.  In the file-browser choose
Tools - Option - Folder Options - File types
errr, something like that in Xp anyway, then scroll down the list and choose 
which ones should be opened in LibreOffice.

You should be given that option during the install process.
A screen should appear that will say something like "Do you want LO to
be the default program for opening MS Office documents"?

I apologise, because this feels like something that should be very obvious

I can create a form in the LO database application and put fields onto it
either through Insert>Field or by opening the Data Sources pane (F4) and
dragging and dropping fields from there to the form.

The only way I seem to be able to see actual data from the relevant table
in my form is to select a row in the F4 pane and then press a button (iirc
it's called "Data to Fields". This puts the data from that row into the
form.

What I would like to do though is link the form to the table and provide
the form with navigation widgets that allow the user to see teh data from
any record by naviagting through the records. I see there is a toolbar
called "Form Navigation" which I can get to appear, but all the icons on
it are greyed out.

I guess my question is - how do I get this toolbar to work with my form
and table the way I expect it to?

 I understand that you have a database you created using Base and
that you have a table in that database. What you need to do is to create
a form that is connected to the table. (I'm repeating what I think you
were writing and will be answering accordingly. If not, you need to
correct my thinking.)
 What you need to do is to create a form that is linked with the
table. The instructions for creating a form in Base is found in the
Getting Started with Base chapter of the Getting Started Guide. Base has
a wizard which will do that for you, and the chapter I mentioned will
tell you how to use the wizard as well as giving you screenshots on the
process.

Lots of links, tutorials and examples:

All you need is toolbar "Form Design", the forms navigator (button #5 on

The English guides have originally been taken from OpenOffice.org User Guides, 
so you might have a look at the Italian translation of OOo 3.x Guides[1]. 
Although they might be a bit outdated for LibreOffice 3.5, many of the

The English guides have originally been taken from OpenOffice.org User Guides, 
so you might have a look at the Italian translation of OOo 3.x Guides[1]. 
Although they might be a bit outdated for LibreOffice 3.5, many of the 
principles should still be valid.

[libreoffice-users] Populate database form with table data

2012-02-15 Thread bogus

I apologise, because this feels like something that should be very obvious
but I have not been able to find the answer for myself.

I can create a form in the LO database application and put fields onto it
either through Insert>Field or by opening the Data Sources pane (F4) and
dragging and dropping fields from there to the form.

The only way I seem to be able to see actual data from the relevant table
in my form is to select a row in the F4 pane and then press a button (iirc
it's called "Data to Fields". This puts the data from that row into the
form.

What I would like to do though is link the form to the table and provide
the form with navigation widgets that allow the user to see teh data from
any record by naviagting through the records. I see there is a toolbar
called "Form Navigation" which I can get to appear, but all the icons on
it are greyed out.

I guess my question is - how do I get this toolbar to work with my form
and table the way I expect it to?

Thanks

Bogus Zaba

If you anchor a picture to page, then the reference is the page not a
column. Anchoring to a page means, that the picture hovers over the
continuous text and stays on that specific page regardless how the
continuous text is changed

When using a multiple column layout, in 95% of the cases the pictures
are anchored to the page, because the editor want to fix the images on a
specific place in his layout, and most pictures are wider than 1 column,
see most of "magazines" layout.
We produce 8.000 magazine pages a year, using OO-LO, and yes we
positioning the pictures using Macro's etc, but in the end the user want
to move the images and then we surly need the colomn bouderies as a
guide

. In such a situation an alignment to columns seems questionable to
me. If you want your picture inside a column use anchoring to paragraph.

Besides that, you know the column width and can set width and position
of the picture accordingly.

When using a 4 column layout, its problematic to have al this postions
in mind 9 mm, 43 mm , 95 mm, ect

I know that people like using the mouse, but using the dialog is much
more precise and flexible.

here i can 100% agree, but we are talking about 5% of the users who

   Another suggestion: Use F11 to open the Styles&  Formating dialog.
Click the Page styles icon. The right click the Default page style.
Using the Border tab, Set All Four Borders. Then select the width and

  This could also be done with a page style you want to use.

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.5.0 and the File->Recent Documents

edit files (tried Writer and Calc).

I can't see anything in a quick scan of the mail list, and the closest

If you anchor an object to a character, your object will be treated as 
a character. That's why there are large white space on the line of 
your object due to its height.
Instead, anchor it to a paragraph. Then you have freedom to move your 
object around.
From my experience, what you're describing is anchoring 'as' a 
character; I'm anchoring 'to' a character, as anchoring 'to' a paragraph 
isn't specific enough for my document. The problem comes when the page 
break falls such that a full page would require the character to be on 
one page and the frame to be on the next.


I've looked, but I haven't uncovered a mechanism in LO Writer to deal 
with this situation satisfactorily.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.5 corrupts DOCX completely

Hi :)
Actually MS Office 2007 and 2010 can both open the older Odf formats (errr Odf 
= OpenDocument Format which makes that sentence clunky).  To switch LibreOffice 
to the older format try

Tools - Options - "+Load/Save" - General 

then about mid-way down the sub-page is a drop-down saying
"1.2 Extended (recommended)" click on that and roll it 2 places backwards up 
the list and choose "1.0 / 1.1".  Hmmm, the older format was not so great with 
spreadsheets (allegedly) but was totally fine with word-processing.  

MS, as a professional company, obviously couldn't risk using a format that was 
in widespread usage for about a decade but not officially released beyond a 
'beta-testing' stage.  The 1.2 standard was only fully released last year 
sometime and a year is not long enough for MS to respond.  

Just out of curiosity why do i get tons of complaints from TDF officials when i 
say MicroSquish but the more derogatory term used by e-letter is apparently 
fine?  This is the only list that has a problem with my term.  Even MS fanboy 
lists seem to like the cuter term when i use it there.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.5 corrupts DOCX completely

Hi :)
The DocX implementation is not perfect in MS Word.  There is allegedly an 
internationally agreed 'open' standard with the same name but inevitably there 
are deviations from that in MS products.  

LibreOffice is getting closer to the implementations used in MS Word but each 
version of MS Word implements 'the standard' slightly differently.  According 
to the Microsoft.Com website (or was it the  installer for MS Office 2010) it 
also varies according to which OS you happen to be using.  So the way a docX is 
produced by MS Word 2007 on Xp may be slightly different from the way it's 
produced in MS Word 2007 on Windows7.  Some LibreOffice users find they become 
the "middle-man" between colleagues in the same office using MS Word who would 
normally have problems sharing files with each other because they use different 
versions of Windows itself.  Simply by opening and saving again in LO  tends to 
fix the problems from either person and produces a document that magically 
works on both different MS Word users.  

MS keeps moving the goal-posts so if a document doesn't work then just post a 
bug-report about it.  The LibreOffice devs then get around to 'fixing' LO so 
that it reads the new mess created by or desired by MS Office.   

Personally i would recommend avoiding the MS formats and just stick with Odf 
such as Odt for word-processing.  If you need to share with MS Office users 
keep your original in Odt and just "Save As..." to get an MS format.  I tend to 
use Doc rather than DocX as it tends to get less messy.  

This is just my own opinion based on experience, comments on this and other 
lists and from having just installed MS Office on the networked machine at 
work.  It's not necessarily the view of TDF as i am not even a member of TDF.
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Word import TOC link style

2012-02-15 Thread Barleyman

I'm using writer to make indexed PDF files from word documents, we're using
word to create product specifications etc. These can get pretty long and
complicated so it's nice to have document map in the PDF. 

So far so good but the default style for TOC items and links in word
document is "internet link" style which is to my mind rather ugly underlined
blue. Word uses black font for the TOC-style links normally and blue links
only for actual internet links.

It is possible to make a custom template which is used for new writer
documents that uses more normal-looking black links for "internet link". 
The problem is that this template is NOT used for word import. So it's
necessary to go change the internet link style each and every time. 

Is it possible to get black TOC links for imported word documents
automagically?

3.5 should install over the top of 3.4.  You seem to be using Linux, but
IDK what distro.  Your package manager should take care of things for
you.

Even if you compile and install by hand, you probably only need to issue
a "make uninstall" command, so long as you've not deleted the relevant
files from the source directory on your machine.

Could this be a problem possible unique to MS Word 2010?



Doesn't seem to be because it doesn't happen here with MS Office 2010 
and LO 3.4.4.

Hi,

I would like to uninstall LO 3.4 to install 3.5 but it's difficult try

Maybe it's possible to create a script to do it or to make it in the

Sincerely,

I forget your OS. In Windows you should be able to use the Windows 
program manager to uninstall. For Linux users, you can use CLI commands 
or your package manager to uninstall the old version; you need to check 
with you distro for the commands/package manager.

Thank you very much for your search, Dan.
Much appreciated!

At the Dutch Tweakers.net site user SP1980 mentioned another location where
the "Dutch spelling and hyphenation Dictionary" extension can be found, as
an OpenOffice.org extension:

[libreoffice-users] Recent Documents menu not working in 3.5.0?

2012-02-15 Thread Leon Stringer

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.5.0 and the File->Recent Documents
menu remains empty regardless of whether I open files, create files or
edit files (tried Writer and Calc).

I can't see anything in a quick scan of the mail list, and the closest
thing I saw in Bugzilla was "Recent Documents list does not work"
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39026) which is
apparently fixed.

Does anyone else see this?

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3/Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735
on Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit).

Thanks in advance,

Leon

[libreoffice-users] Re: Base - Phone book ?

Linux users who can not connect to TB can export csv files from TB and
connect LibreOffice to this data source. Notice that you can export any
virtual address list you have created in TB and that the exported csv is a
snapshot of the current address data.  You need to repeat the export
procedure in order to get the latest address data into your csv files.
TB address book tables > CSV directory > Base > Calc/Writer reports

Create a dedicated directory to take any csv list exported from TB .
Export all the lists you need (including any virtual lists) into that
direcory.
In OOo call File>New>Database...
[X] Connect to existing db
Type: Text
Specify the csv folder and the usual csv import delimiters.
[X] Register the new database
Save the new database document.
You may want to add some simple queries to query only certain rows and
columns in a certain order of rows and columns.
Close the database document and forget about it.
Now you can hit F4 in Writer and Calc and read any of the exported csv files
plus the additional Base queries without any further configuration. Just
drag some icon from the left pane into your document. For mailing list
labels you may drag column headers from the right pane into a Writer
document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Extension MSOffice

Hi :)
I'm not sure but this might help

Tools - Options - "+Load/Save"

The various sub-pages in there have a few options that might help.  

2.  Another way might be to right-click on 1 such document and find the "Chose 
program" or "Open with.." option.  One of those should be clear about making it 
a 'permanent' default (except that you can use the same method to change it 
back another day if you wanted).  

3.  In Windows just open a file-browser so that you can see documents inside 
any folder.  In the file-browser choose
Tools - Option - Folder Options - File types
errr, something like that in Xp anyway, then scroll down the list and choose 
which ones should be opened in LibreOffice. 
Regards from
Tom :)

You should be given that option during the install process.
A screen should appear that will say something like "Do you want LO to

Hi Fernand,

Fernand Vanrie schrieb:

Regina ,

True for "page" layouts, but simple try a multiple column layout and try
to position a picture (anchored to the page)
The column boundaries are also gone.


If you anchor a picture to page, then the reference is the page not a 
column. Anchoring to a page means, that the picture hovers over the 
continuous text and stays on that specific page regardless how the 
continuous text is changed. In such a situation an alignment to columns 
seems questionable to me. If you want your picture inside a column use 
anchoring to paragraph.


Besides that, you know the column width and can set width and position 
of the picture accordingly. I know that people like using the mouse, but 
using the dialog is much more precise and flexible.


Kind regards

[libreoffice-users] Libreoffice and Opentype

2012-02-15 Thread Séamas Ó Brógáin

The claims being made for the improved typographic features of
Libreoffice 3.5 are disingenuous, to put it mildly. All are related to
Graphite, a minority “smart font” technology that is not widely used
(and that is implemented for Libreoffice with precisely two fonts).

Meanwhile the mainstream smart-font technology, Opentype, now
implemented by practically all other word-processors (and for which
hundreds or perhaps thousands of fonts are available), continues to be
ignored.

It seems to me that you need to tell more about your situation, allowing

Just do not use your distributor's LO. The downloaded version from
http://libreoffice.org( includes the TB address book driver in all versions
of LibreOffice.org. Same with OpenOffice.org. For some reason I never
understood, the Linux distributors used to cut off the TB support from OOo
Base. I used to use the TB address book driver since OOo version 1.

2012-02-15 Thread Jack Llewellyn Brown


Hi,

I can't seem to get an object such as an arrow to be visible in front of 
a movie panel, in the slide show, it is always shown behind the movie 
panel, which is useless. Is there any fix for this?


Thanks so much for your help

Jack

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibO 3.5.0 Writer - AutoSpellcheck doesn't work for Dutch language

2012-02-15 Thread Anthonie Smit

Dutch AutoSpellcheck works for me on Windows 7 sp1 x64 - LO 3.5.0 using the
LibO_3.5.0_Win_x86_install_multi.msi installer

I typed "Jkh uihlkjh" and the Spellcheck gave "Joh huilebalk" (Dude,
crybaby) as suggestion. But i don't think that's a message for you.

It seems to me that you need to tell more about your situation, allowing
developers to search more targeted.

Again, AutoSpellcheck works fine over here, also in Dutch.

Hi,

I would like if it's possible when we install LO to make all the files 
like : doc, docx, ppt, xls  to be opened by LO ?


Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jean



You should be given that option during the install process.
A screen should appear that will say something like "Do you want LO to 
be the default program for opening MS Office documents"?

[libreoffice-users] Unable to install LibreOffice 3.5.0 via GPO

2012-02-15 Thread Andreas Oster

Hi all,

I have tried to to add LibreOffice 3.5.0 as a new package for GPO
installation but failed to do so. I get the following error when
I have selected LibO_3.5.0_Win_x86_install_multi.msi:

"Add operation failed. unable to extract deployment information from the
package. Run validation on the package to ensure that the package is
correct."

First I did a msiexec /a with the original MSI from the LibreOffice
web page, moved the stuff to a server share and tried to add the
package. When this did fail, I tried with the original MSI but got the
same error message.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue ? With the older 3.4.2 and
3.4.2 it was no problem to add the package to GPO and distribute it
to the clients.

Thank you for your kind help.

best regards

Andreas

I can only tell you where it was:
Tools - Options...
+OpenOffice.org - Appearance
Text Boundaries (2nd from the top)

Perhaps they just have it off by default? Seems silly to re-program 
just for a tick box setting.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Helper utilities and ODT to PDF conversion.

2012-02-15 Thread Stefan Weigel

Hi,

I have deployed unoconv on a Linux file server in a cron script in
order to convert some XLS file to PDF every 15 Minutes
automatically. It runs into an error every now and then, but will
run fine the next time again. I haven´t investigated further.

The statement in the cron script is as simple as:

unoconv -f pdf /home/supervisor/scripts/MESSEPlan.xls

Examples for error messages that one of each appear every now and then:

Error: Unable to connect or start own listener. Aborting.

8697 Speicherzugriffsfehler  unoconv -f pdf
/home/supervisor/scripts/MESSEPlan.xls

Cheers,
Stefan

Over the years I've searched unsuccessfully for a simple ODT viewer that
worked, and now have a need for commandline conversion of ODT to PDF. A
search of the Internet turned up mostly old utilities from SWX days, a
number of forum threads of various vintages (none of which offered a
solution) and a more recent Perl script – anytopdf – that doesn't work.
Being something of a Perl aficonado I've been working with this script. To
save space I've uploaded a page with details:


Just to make sure, you know that LibreOffice has the --convert-to option, 
so you can simply do:


libreoffice --convert-to pdf 

There's also a tool I wrote that should work on Windows, Linux and MacOSX 
called 'unoconv', which offers some more functionality. It would be nice 
if all the functionality of unoconv would be integrated into LibreOffice.


 - influencing the import and export filters, similar to the import/export
   option dialogs in LibreOffice

 - apply template during conversion, so you can apply styling/formatting
   when converting documents

 - so it works when LibreOffice is already running, or multiple instances
   are running in parallel (e.g. for batch conversion)

Currently the --convert-to fails when LibreOffice is already running.
