[libreoffice-users] Disparities in the LO 3.6.1 Wordcount
Hi guys I was just doing an assignment that needed a word count and was using LO 3.6.1 and found that the word count is not working as it once was. I quite like the new bottom status bar update it is a new and decent update although it seems to be buggy at this stage. Take this block of text which is from my assignment: Power does corrupt and throughout history there has been a number of examples of totalitarian governments. I have decided to explore the theme “Power Corrupts” Throughout this whole year I have studied texts across a various amount of genres and now have found that within some of the texts I have studied there was a strong connection throughout them that connection was the idea that power corrupts. The texts which had the best connections where: Schindlers List by Steven Spielburg , Changes by Tupac , Answer by Frederic Brown and examination day by Henry Releasable. Each text carried the theme of power corrupts in a different way but all had the same parallels and critiques of the world. It also appears that some of the texts are subtlety warning us about the potential problems with totalitarian regimes that have occurred in the past or which could occur in the future. The first text I looked at was Schindlers list. Schindler's List is the based-on-truth story of Nazi Czech business man Oskar Schindler, who uses Jewish labour to start a factory in occupied Poland. As World War II progresses, and the fate of the Jews becomes more and more clear, Schindler's motivations switch from profit to human sympathy and he is able to save over 1100 Jews from death in the gas chambers. With The realisation that Schindler has as to what the Nazis where really doing also awoke in Schindler how corrupt the regime actually was. Steven Spielberg the director uses several events in the film to highlight the corruptness of the Nazi’s for example when Schindler finds out that some of his workers are to be sent to an extermination camp he bribes the officer with a valuable gold watch in order to release the prisoners. A character which personifies corruption throughout Amon Goeth who does all sorts of twisted and corrupt things such shooting everybody who was associated with one person who stole a chicken. The following extract of dialogue also shows us how evil he really is now LO reports this as being 258 words. I count it myself and get roughly 350. I then copy and paste this block of text into a online word counting thing such as: [1]http://www.wordcounttool.com/ and get 338 and then I take it over to MO which gives me 338!

[libreoffice-users] Printing Problem Epson sx110 only from LibreOffice
Hi friends, i'm using Suse Enterprise 11.2. Trying to print form LibreOffice (only from LibreOffice) i see the printer moving...it simply doesn't print. I'm using LibreOffice 3.5:build-403, but updating to Community version (3.6) of LibreOffice nothing change. I've found the solution: if i set on printer preferences the printer language postscript from driver (and not PDF) all goes well: the printer print. But this operation is necessary everytime that i open one file. The question is: Is it possible to set on same configuration file this preference (postscript from driver)? many many thanks! -- firma cosmogoniA http://www.cosmogonia.org/ noprovarenofareononfarenonc'èprovare -- 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] Update to 3.6.1
Hi :) Reason for so many problems in last couple of weeks is the new release of a new branch of LO. Each new branch should try to add as much functionality as it reasonably can to attract new people and to give the devs a chance to really show-off and get on with interesting things. Unfortunately the side-effect is that unexpected things and often completely unrelated things that 'shouldnt' be affected sometimes go wrong. Roughly the equivalent of going out to buy an ice-cream and getting back to find a magpie built a nest in your filing cabinet. As a branch matures the devs fix those problems (and longer-standing issues) and include their fixes in the service packs. So 3.6.1 is likely to have less problems and then the 3.6.2 has even less and so on until it reaches around 3.6.4. But by then it has become less exciting to work on so a lot of the devs will have drifted over to new functionality that will be added in the next new branch. Not all devs want exciting new toys, many have a tendency to worry a specific problem to death but that can often become an unhealthy obsession too. A fresh pair of eyes can sometimes spot where a dev has managed to shake something loose and come up with a simpler answer. After months of detailed work on a specific issue a dev might then be into chasign shiny new toys for a while (or just leave the project and run screaming from the room). Hopefully people that chase shiny new toys sometimes get sucked into getting bogged down in a single issue again. For some people i would guess that's a repeating cycle. Of course many of the companies that support LO do invest employee dev-time into LO and they get a lot less choice about what they work on, so their burn-out rates are probably higher. Just my thoughts really. Any stereotype fails in the light of reality.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: compatibility with openoffice on a rtf file
Hi :) +1 Pdf is the best for making sure things look exactly the same on any system, with any program. It is not editable tho so it's not so great for collaborative work. Doc is possibly the best for collaborative work but because it's a word-processor format it may look a little different on each different machine depending on printers set-up and all sorts of other variables. DocX is well worth avoiding if possible. Odf is stable and is beginning to take over from Doc but it's not quite used widely enough just yet and i think most people would expect it to be a couple of years although at the rate things are going it could be widely adopted sooner. So, quite often it's worth sending both a Doc and a Pdf so that people can get the best of both worlds.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Norton AntiVirus / poll
I use Comodo Internet Security, since it includes a firewall. I use to use AVG with Zonealarm for anti-virus and firewall, but I decided that I would rather have one package instead of two to deal with. Last time I knew AVG did not have a free version of the A.V. and firewall combo package. I found that Avast! was too slow for the older systems I had, so I never used it for my systems after I tried it and found out it was slower than AVG [back when I was a Win-only user] On my free software [Windows] listing, http://www.lungstrom.com/list/#thisvirus , I list Comodo, AVG, and Avast for anti-virus systems. I also list other free security packages. I created this list when I used Windows [only] and searched for the best free packages I could find for my needs. I could not afford to buy any updated software on my fixed income. I know a lot of local people that have gone to my list to find links to the free stuff, including a few local PC sales/repair places. Some now add Comodo and other free packages to their PC for sale and add some of those same package [with permission] to systems they repair. Gives their clients more without having to charge more. Having them add LO as a default office package is one of the things I want to get the local shops to do more often than what I have been told, or heard from people that use these places. I always add LO to the systems I give away to those in need. Comodo is the main security package I add to my Windows systems. Now if only I could find a good, cheap, source for XP licenses for those system that do not have an OS on them, or have older Windows OSs on them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing Problem Epson sx110 only from LibreOffice
I have seen, on these list, the same question/issue with the postscript/PDF options for getting the printer[s] to work properly. I do not remember what they did for their solution[s] to the issue/problem. Does you system have a menu listing for LO's Printer Administration? If it does, it may help. Where did you get the Epson drivers? I use an Epson Artisan 810. I use Ubuntu 10.04/GNOME [desktop] and 12.04/MATE [laptop] for my systems. I had to go to a third-party site listed from the Epson site for my driver files. I do not have any problems with those drivers for my Epson printer. There are other sites, or ways to get printer drivers for Epson, but the listed place off the Epson site were the better drivers [so far]. I wonder if you renamed the user-preference file [.libreoffice for Ubuntu] and have your system recreate it when you restart LO, would that help correct the issue? I always have a .libreoffice folder copied as a working backup for when their is a problem that might be fixed by replacing/rebuilding the user preference files.

Thanks for your response. This makes me so glad that I do not upgrade anything immediately - I'd rather wait until all the kinks are removed.

Each new branch should try to add as much functionality as it reasonably can to attract new people and to give the devs a chance to really show-off and get on with interesting things. Unfortunately the side-effect is that unexpected things and often completely unrelated things that 'shouldnt' be affected sometimes go wrong. Roughly the equivalent of going out to buy an ice-cream and getting back to find a magpie built a nest in your filing cabinet.

So 3.6.1 is likely to have less problems and then the 3.6.2 has even less and so on until it reaches around 3.6.4. But by then it has become less exciting to work on so a lot of the devs will have drifted over to new functionality that will be added in the next new branch.

[libreoffice-users] Sorting with macro
I was just wondering, is there a limit how many rows I can sort with a macro? I wrote a simple sort function as a part of a bigger project and it has worked perfectly for years. I have a spreadsheet with a two column list. I add stuff at the end of that list and then sort it after each new post. It has worked perfectly as I said, until today. Now the last entry remains at last row. The first column is numbers and the second is names, kind of, and I sort to get the names in alphabetic order. The name of the last row starts with a ”B”, but as I said, it remains at the last position rather than somewhere at the beginning of the list. The only difference between now and earlier when the macro worked, is that the list now contains more than 800 rows (801; 802 if the header row is counted), which keeps me wonder if there is some kind of 800 rows limit… Here's the sort subroutine: Sub SortStatistics(Range As Object,Field As Integer,Mode As Boolean) Dim SortFields(1) As New com.sun.star.util.SortField Dim SortDesc(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue ThisComponent.getCurrentController.Select(Range) SortFields(0).Field=Field SortFields(0).SortAscending=Mode SortDesc(0).Name=SortFields SortDesc(0).Value=SortFields() SortDesc(1).Name=ContainsHeader SortDesc(1).Value=True Range.Sort(SortDesc()) End Sub Am I missing something?

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Don't] Re: Java LibO: use version 6 for now if you must - was: What is the status of Java security?
Hi :) Really the only way to void potential problems with Java is to NOT use it at all. Sadly that means all our Accessibility stuff would be completely wrecked. A few Wizards, Extensions, embedded Base backends would also be affected but almost all of that has work-arounds that improve the quality of the LO experience anyway. The only thing that has no work-around is Accessibility. Btw anyone enjoying the paralympics?

[libreoffice-users] LO 3.6.1 bug report
Forgive me if I am doing this wrong - it's my first attempt to use this mail list. I have used LO 3.5 through its various releases and now that I have started using 3.6, I have found there is the return of an old bug, long since fixed in the 3.5 release line: in Calc, replicating a cell calculation down a column (by dragging the ear of the cell) causes LO to exit without warning if cells below the one being copied already hold calculations. For example, cell C3 has calculation =C2+B3 and cells below have corresponding calculations already; I add a new row 4 then try to replicate C3 down through C4 to C5 or more; after a pause, LO simply exits. This has occurred with 3.6 and 3.6.1 on Mac (OSX 10.7) and with 3.6 on Windows (XP, SP3).

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.6.1 bug report
Hi Dave Sorry to hear about your problems. This mailing list is not proper place to post bug reports, but it is good thing you have posted it nevertheless. It is so, because I could not reproduce this issue. I am using LO 3.6.1 on Debian, amd64. I tried following your instructions and LO did not crash. It calculated what there was to calculate and that's it. Could you post example document somewhere on the web (this mailing list does not allow mail attachments - they are simply stripped) and provide as detailed as possible, step-by-step instructions? In bug reporting, it's better to give too much details than too little. If you can't put document on the web, then please write cell address and content exactly. Also note any direct formatting you might have applied. Looking forward for your reply - I hope we can work it out. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski PS You have provided e-mail address in message, so I am CC-ing you just in case. -- 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] Re: Sun dll shlxthdl and windows explorer.execrash
Dave, Sorry to hear that. You should consider reopening https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53533 and providing your details there. Also, while it is a hassle, back out LibO 3.6.1.2 deleting per-user profiles. Then reinstall selecting a Custom installation. Deselect the Windows Explorer extension and allow the installation to proceed. See if that clears your issues with ODF--and if you do reopen the bug, add those details to it.

An 'obvious' way to get a little bit more information about any unix-based command is to add the tag -h or --help after the command. In this case it would be something like: spadmin -h or spadmin --help It's just a quick-help, cheat sheet. There is a lot more info in the manual which you can access using the man command (seems a little sexist but it's really just short for manual). So, try man spadmin my understanding is that the OP (you have deleted the original post) wasn't getting it to run at all. he had a funny sign in front of the command which I thought might be an artifact produced by his email. he should be sure to invoke the command as ./spadmin assuming he is in the same directory or give the whole path (without the leading dot). Hmmm, i don't have spadmin installed on my machine so i got nothing from either of those commands. I have it but it seems to belong to openoffice in my case (on this machine) and seems to require 'sudo' to invoke it as it's owned by root. Regards from Tom :) regards to you too!
