[libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)

If you want to open MS Office with exactly preserved formatting, then you must use MS Office. Preferably in the same version in which document was created. LibreOffice is free (as in freedom) office suite, not MS Office documents viewer. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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

Analog systems are so obsolete that it would cost more to maintain them then to replace. However, even domestically, the same still applies. I don't know if you're referring to New York City or New York State, but even assuming the city, Canada has about 4 × the population, or 16 × that of NZ, but the area of almost 10 million sq Kilometres is close to 40 times that of New Zealand, yet the analog phone system is long gone here. BTW, I've worked in the telecommunications industry for most of my career and it's been over 30 years since the last time I saw an analog system. New Zealand would *REALLY* have to be a back water country to still be using an analog phone system. Well just on the outskirts of NZ largest city I am 500m from the roadside exchange box thing. The analogue line went out when it rained and ADSL was next to useless. The national fibre trunk of the second largest telco goes past the door but they won't tap it for me. I have a 19km line of sight WiMax link now, also on another property that has a 30km WaiMax relay. Voip on both and stick it to the telcos. The national fibre rollout sounds good but I doubt it will reach me. Steve I live in the county seat of Chemung County in New York State. We are a city, but not a big one, unlike the county seat 50 mile from here. They are 10 time bigber than ours. There is a program where the government is pushing broadband access for most of the US users, but it does not mean that access is cheap. What I would love to see is fiber to the homes instead of fiber to a node somewhere in the 4-6 block area and then have coax to the home. That is what here for our cable-modem system. Our DSL system goes through the phone line, but it can be more expensive. They want you to have a regular non-digital phone line with them before you are able to get their service. So even if you want a digital-phone service, you will be required to have a regular one as well. I have my broadband downloading [only 120 MB/s uploading do to cable issues], digital phone, and TV digital cable service from the one company. It cost less this way, but is still cost a lot out of my budget. I would love to see a cheaper solution in my area. With an inexpensive broadband service, I could add a third-party digital phone service and also watch most of my TV shows via the streaming video services [free mostly, but paid sometimes]. I could cut my budget for those services down to about a third of what I am currently paying. What we need is the political boost for allowing competition in our market instead of having one cable company and one phone company. There is no competition to keep the rates down. -- 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] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)
Hi :) I've often found that even tho images appear to have vanished they are still really there somewhere. That gives at least 2 opportunities; 1. Edit and save without trying to find the images and then see if the images apparently re-appear in the right places when the edited file is opened back in MS Office 2007/2010 2. Hunt around the edges of the pages and move any images you do find anywhere to see if the other images have been hidden underneath as they tend to get piled-up on-top of each other.

Also, I installed LibreOffice from the download site and not the repository. I was planning on installing 3.5.5 on the laptops [Ubuntu, XP, and Vista] but I did not have the time. Actually we had a tornado pass by yesterday about 1 mile north of me and almost hit one of our two hospitals.

Your email came in the midst of four emails: three were discussing Base, and the four was yours that had nothing to do with Base. This is because I tell my email client to thread the emails. So do many of the other members of this list. This groups the incoming emails (original and replies) by the original subject. I have composed your original email including your subject. Now this will be seen as a new subject and any replies will be threaded with it. Now to answer at least part of your question: background images for OTT documents. You need to open the Page style of your document, and enter the required data in the Background tab. Then save the document as a OTT. It should be saved in the user folder for LibreOffice. Information on how to change the page style of a document is discussed in the Writer Guide for LibreOffice available at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications. Changing the page style should also solve your other problem as well. --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] starting Base - works for me
Hi, As I understand it, Mint uses the Ubuntu software center. The default LO install in Ubuntu does not include base. If the user wishes to have base installed, you would add that to the Ubuntu installation from the software center. If I install from a direct LO download from LO, I have all of the programs listed below in webmaster-Kracked_P_P's post. In Unity, there is a launcher bar on the left side of the screen. The top button on the launcher bar is called dash, which has multiple uses. One use is to show the installed applications. When I do an upgrade, I completely remove the old install using the terminal, and then do the new install in the terminal. I use the following commands (This is for the 64 bit 3.5.5.3 from LO): Download LibO_3.5.5_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the desktop. Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the folder LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US Run the following terminal commands to install it: 1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* 2. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb 3. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5.5-3_all.deb After this install, all of the applications below will show up in Dash. To add them to the Launcher bar, simply drag the icons for the ones you want to the launcher bar and place them where you wish to have them. I've never had any issue with opening any of the applications. I read several days ago that Unity is now available for Fedora and for Mint for those who would like to have it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)
Sounds like whatever is displaying the image isn't being initialized properly for whatever reason. Reopening it allows that function to execute with the proper parameters. To sit on the page in the proper place the coordinates of the image would have to be known and set properly. If the images are stacking then they're all getting the same set of coordinates. The trick is to figure out why. For the laymen... the best analogy I can think of is to picture an assembly line, with a conveyor belt. Empty bottles sit on the conveyor belt. When you start the conveyor belt and the associated machinery that fills the bottles with some liquid, the bottles are not aligned properly so when the filling nozzle starts pouring liquid it misses the bottle opening by just enough that it sprays onto the belt and spills over onto the floor. By restarting the machinery at the exact moment that the bottles are properly aligned it fixes the problem. Kind of a lame analogy but like I say, the best I can think of at the moment.

Thanks; that makes sense.
