If I understand well, what you need is to define a page style that will
be a odd page for each of the chapters of your book. To know more about
page styles, please see

[libreoffice-users] [Writer] language tool

[Alberto Luccaroni]

I use LibreOffice 3.4.3 (italian version) on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

In Writer, in the bottom status bar, it's possible to set the language used
by user when writing a document.

- On click, a small menu appears, but unfortunatly it doesn't remember
recent languages used: I suggest to develop a menu where recent used
languages appear first.
- Clicking on "extra", a window opens... with font options! This link is
wrong. I suggest to correct it to the writer languages options window .
- Clicking on "tools > language > for all text" appears the same small menu
described above, that still doesn't remember recent languages used: I
suggest to develop a menu where recent used languages appear first.
- Clicking on "extra" I finally find the correct writer languages options
window.

Alberto Luccaroni

Hi Alberto

Language Tool, which you refer to, is external application developed 
independently of LibreOffice. If you have problem with it, want to report bugs 
or enhancements ideas, you'd have better luck contacting it's development 
team. You can find information on how to get in touch with them on their 
website:
http://www.languagetool.org/

Also, this mailing list is created to provide support for LO. We are not 
developers and we can not undertake action on any bug reports you may send 
here.
We can, however, confirm your bug reports (or reject them and point out that 
you are making some mistakes) and discuss your enhancement ideas, helping you 
making them better.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen

[Dr. R. O Stapf]

Although I am not writing books the feature described by CVAlkan is a very interesting one. 
Especially if the settings could be made on a document base, rather than general.

When using "2-up," the Print Preview screen defaults to showing the first
page on the left. There is a button called "Book Preview" (just left of the
(+) magnifier button) that permits the display to show the odd-numbered
pages on the left, as in a printed book or other material. This is, of
course, quite useful for reviewing layouts more realistically.

Since that is what I'm creating, I would like to set the "Book Preview" as
the default for the "Print Preview" display (yes, I acknowledge my laziness,
but isn't the fact that I use a word processor instead of a typewriter
sufficient proof of that?); it would be even cooler if that display choice
could be set on a per-document basis as well, but I don't want to be too
greedy.

I've searched around, but haven't run across anything that would allow me to
do that. Does anyone know if such a setting exists and, if so, how to set
it?

Otherwise, I guess I'll just toss it in at the bottom of the massive list of
requested enhancements.

Thanks.

I see that you are still using version 3.4.3 of LO.

Is there a reason you did not upgrade to a newer version?
3.5.7 is out, as well as 3.6.3.

I use 3.5.7 on both Windows and Linux systems until3.6.4 or 3.6.5 comes out.

Also, how many different languages do you use on your system?  You 
stated "Italian version" and you asked in English, so I see at least two 
languages.  Do you use more than these two languages?


Although it is not needed to know these things, it does help some of us 
to know what LO is being used, what languages are being used by the 
users, and other thingslike the extensions being used.


By the way, even if you do not install a language pack for a different 
language other than your Italian needs, you can find spell checking 
dictionaries for many of the user languages as extension add ons.


I have over 180 dictionaries listed in the North American Community DVD 
[which includes the language and help packs for Italian].

http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.6-installs/dictionary.html

You can also find dictionaries in the LO official extension center.
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center

These extensions should work with your 3.4.3 version of LO, unless 
otherwise stated.

[libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

[webmaster-Kracked_P_P]

Since there was the thread about the "Book Preview", I was wondering if 
there is either an extension out there or a external program that would 
print the pages of the document in the correct order for "Book Printing".


When you have a landscape double sided sheet with two pages printed on 
each side [letter or tabloid sized paper], you need to arrange the pages 
in a set order for the pages to print out on the correct sheet and 
suchfor the colation and folding of the sheets into a book format.


I use to do a lot of multi-sheet newsletters printed onto tabloid 
paper.  I ended up making a template in PageMaker that had the pages 
listed in the placement for printing and not for the standard document 
printing.  I had a template for each page count version of the 
newsletter, such as 2 or 3 tabloid sheets.


I would like to find an extension or external package that would print 
out the pages in the proper order for the placement on the sheets 
instead of doing it manually. Since I use both Windows and Linux, I 
could use a package for either OS.


Anyone know of a package or extension that would do the work?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Auto changes on a new spreadsheet set for next year

[Paul Stear]

Hi Brian,
Thank you so much, your solution works a treat.

My spreadsheet consists of 15 pages each year, so my next question is:-
would it be possible to put the new year on page 1 named "cover" in cell A2 
and then change the "&A1-1&" to reference this on for each instance on every 
page?
Hope this is clear.
Thanks for any help

Re: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

[David Burleigh]

For most impositions I use a very simple "freeware" utility called
"Gimpose" (http://www.noliturbare.com/) which is written for Windows but
runs  perfectly under Wine. It does the most common kinds of
impositions, including saddle-stitch booklets, two pages per sheet,
duplicate pages side by side, and cut stacks.

When I need to do more complicated impositions, I have to fire up
Windows XP in a Virtual Box and run Acrobat Pro with the "Quite
Imposing" plugin (which are both rather pricey).

2. In the Print dialog, click Properties.
3. In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation

If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in

printer setup dialog.


4. Return to Print dialog, and click the Page Layout tab page.
5. Select Brochure.
6. For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, 
specify to include "All pages".

7. Click OK.
If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing 
sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a 
printer with double-sided printing capability, you can create an entire 
brochure from your document without having to collate the pages later. 
If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing capability, 
you can achieve this effect by first printing the front pages with the 
"Front sides / right pages /odd pages" option marked, then re-inserting 
the entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages 
with the "Back pages / left pages / even pages" option marked.


If LibreOffice prints the pages in the wrong order, open the Options tab 
page, select Print in reverse page order, and then print the document again.

Although I do not have Japanese on my Dictionary List, I do have the

There are a number of different version of some of the languages listed.

My American English dictionary [I created] has over 773,000 spell

As I type this, my 3.6.3 version of the North American Community DVD 
still have not migrated to the DVD .iso download pages, but my 3.5.7 
version is there.  I deal with the ones that have NA-DVD English in the 
file name.


LO download page for 3.6.3

You can view the online versions of the DVDs at the following links, so 
you can see what is included without downloading the ISO file. The only 
issue is that the 3.6 version shown online has changed from the ISO 
version, since I am updating those pages and will reflect those changes 
in the 3.6.4 version DVD in December.

German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Hebrew, language and help 
packs [where available as separate package] for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.


These DVDs were created for those that needed a physical media due to 
either a dial-up access or for multiple offline installs.  They included 
the up-to-date documentation at the time of their creations, plus the 
dictionaries, artwork, extensions and templates, and some nice extras.  
I use Artha for the offline dictionary - with meanings - as a helper

English, but you can check their web site to see.

I have two printers that prints double sided - HP Laserjet 2300, and 
Epson Artisan 810.  But sometimes the print one side for a "stack" and 
then print the other side can be faster.


The trick is when you are printing more than one sheet of paper per 
newsletter or small booklet.  Then the order of the pages on each sheet 
is not standard.


For a Newsletter - when you use 2 or 3 sheets of tabloid paper [8 or 12 
pages/faces], the order of the page/faces on the sheets are not the same 
as if you were to print them out as a double-sided document.


sheet 1 side 1 - page 8, 1
sheet 1 side 2 - page 2, 7
sheet 2 side 1 - page 6, 3
sheet 2 side 2 - page 4, 5

So the first tabloid page that is printed, page 8 is on the left and 
page 1 is on the right, then on the reverse side page 2 is on the left 
with page 7 on the right.  That is not the easiest thing to deal with 
manually.  I use to create a template with each side of the sheet 
showing and manually numbered each footer with the proper page number.  
I would love to have some system to do it for me.


In a different posting, David B. listed "Gimpose" as a package that 
should do it.


The final printout of the document was always in a PDF format for the 
printer's system to use.  They printed, collated, folded, etc., the 
sheets for us.  Most of use do not have "personal access" to a tabloid 
paper printer.  I have printed newsletters as unfolded letter sized 
sheets, but it looks more professional for the tabloid paper - though it 
does cost more.

Re: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

Maybe I don't understand what you mean, but I've printed booklets many times 
with OO and I assume Libre works the same.


I begin with US letter size paper, but in my page layout, I set up a custom 
page size, which is essentially one/half the letter size and I keep it on 
"portrait."


When printing, I open the print dialog box. Under "Properties," I make sure 
the printer is set on "landscape."


I then click on the "Page Layout" tab and check the "brochure" option. With 
a duplex (double-sided) printer, it prints everything out perfectly and in 
order as a booklet. I then have an extra long stapler that I can use to 
staple in the middle of the letter-sized paper.


It's harder with a single-side printer because you have to either manually 
feed the pages one at a time and flip them over or figure out which order to 
put the stack in after it prints all of one side; that gets a little hairy, 
at least for me.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?


Since there was the thread about the "Book Preview", I was wondering if
there is either an extension out there or a external program that would
print the pages of the document in the correct order for "Book Printing".

When you have a landscape double sided sheet with two pages printed on
each side [letter or tabloid sized paper], you need to arrange the pages
in a set order for the pages to print out on the correct sheet and
suchfor the colation and folding of the sheets into a book format.

I use to do a lot of multi-sheet newsletters printed onto tabloid
paper.  I ended up making a template in PageMaker that had the pages
listed in the placement for printing and not for the standard document
printing.  I had a template for each page count version of the
newsletter, such as 2 or 3 tabloid sheets.

I would like to find an extension or external package that would print
out the pages in the proper order for the placement on the sheets
instead of doing it manually. Since I use both Windows and Linux, I
could use a package for either OS.

Anyone know of a package or extension that would do the work?

Re: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

[webmaster-Kracked_P_P]

OK
I am being a bit dumb.

I did not check out the "Brochure" option for printing.

For me, a brochure was a single sheet of paper divided into 3 columns 
and printed on 2 sides.  It did not go beyond the single sheet.


Newsletters and booklets were more than one sheet.

So I just tested the Brochure printing out with very large numbers on 
each page, one per page representing its page order.  Used 2 pages per 
sheet and the brochure option.


Yes, it works they way I was looking for.

SO
I was all hung up with the term "Brochure" for a printing option. As I 
said, "brochure" is a single double sided sheet, and newsletter/booklet 
is for more than one double sided sheets per document.


I have not made a newsletter/booklet with LO yet, except the simple 
double sided portrait documents.  I was asked if I wanted to help with a 
8 or 12 page/face newsletter in the coming few months, so I was looking 
into the options.  Now I just have to work on the column text that 
starts on page one and then flows into page 3 or 4, like magazine and 
other articles do from time to time in newsletters and other documents 
that use a multi-column segmented article format.

[libreoffice-users] Word 2003 to Libre Writer - Comparison Chart

[charles meyer]

Hi Folks,

MS Word has a comparison chart which shows you how to perform certain
tasks in Word compared to how you effect them in WordPerfect.

It's an easy chart to check (and learn) Word if you've been a WordPerfect user.

Ex. Ctrl/F8 will perform a certain task in WordPerfect but that same
task is done with different function key combinations in Word

I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar comparison chart
for Libre Writer and Word, especially Word 2003?

The chart would show how a task is done in Word and then next to it
would reveal how that task is done in Libre Writer.

Thanks so much,

Charles.

Re: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

[VA]

I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that older versions of OpenOffice 
had "booklet" instead of "brochure" for the printing option.


I haven't printed a booklet in several years, but I walked through it this 
morning before I sent my email and I was surprised to see "brochure" as the 
option. Again, I remembered it as "booklet," but again, my memory may be 
playing tricks on me.


I agree that "booklet" is more descriptive of what we're trying to 
accomplish, so you're not "a bit dumb."

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
+1
I agree the name is a bit strange but some people do use it that way.  I tend 
to find that once i know the type of option i am looking for is likely to exist 
then it's usually possible to figure out which option it is by askign here 
and/or trying out a couple of options to see what they do.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Errr, i don't think this counts but when you are editing a document you can 
zoom in and out quite a lot.  I sometimes zoom out so far that i can easily see 
the layout of 12 pages and i think i could zoom out a lot further.  It helps me 
arrange the whole of our company newsletter to be more attractive by making 
sure the layout of pcitures in amoungst the text is not identical on each 
page.  I can move pictures around and place them roughly and then zoom in to be 
a bit more precise later.  

It's not quite the same as a print-preview.  
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Collate print option not working

[Girvin R. Herr]

Greetings,
Has anyone else noticed that the "Collate" option in the print dialog is 
not working?!
I wanted to print 2 copies of a 3-page document and I selected 
"Collate".  However, the pages came out 1,1,2,2,3,3 not the 1,2,3,1,2,3 
that I expected.  So, I unselected "Collate" and it still came out 
1,1,2,2,3,3!
Is there some other setting controlling this or is it a bug I should 
look into?

Running LO 3.5.7.2 under KDE 3 and Linux.
Thanks in advance.
Girvin Herr

Re: [libreoffice-users] Collate print option not working

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I think i had a similar problem last week on Windows.  The next time i tried 
pritning it did collate but i have no idea why it didn't work or why it 
magically startedd workign again.  I thought it was just me stuffing-up that 
one time.  

So, it's interesting to hear it might be an intermittent problem.  I take it 
that this is the first time that collating has not worked?  Did work previously?

[libreoffice-users] - novice question about scalc and C++ uno objects

[Rai, Neeraj]

Hi ,

I am trying to learn about UNO objects and how to remotely update scalc data. I 
have looked at Scalc.java and would like to convert it to c++.
What is the best way to go about it and are there cpp examples publicly 
available ?
The cpp examples that come with libreoffice (remoteclient/docloader etc) don't 
seem to get interact with scalc.
Any pointers / links/ tutorials and samples would be appreciated.

Thanks
Neeraj

Re: [libreoffice-users] Collate print option not working

[Girvin R. Herr]

Tom,
Actually, no, this is not the first time I have seen this behavior.  I 
rarely print multiple copies, but I have seen this happen before, within 
about 6 months.  That previous time, I was using LO 3.5.3.


Okay, this is really strange.  I just tried it again and got 
1,2,1,2,3,3!  I might add that I am printing duplex, which may 
complicate the LO algorithm.  I tried another 3-page document and it 
behaved the same way.  I then expanded it to 4 pages and got 
1,2,1,2,3,4,3,4.  Where 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are on the same sheets, just 
opposite sides.  Weird.  I just tried doing the same thing with a Calc 
spreadsheet and got the same results.  So the problem is with LO, not 
just Writer.

Girvin

Re: [libreoffice-users] Collate print option not working

[webmaster-Kracked_P_P]

The Duplexing is the KEY for me to say - - it may be a combination of 
the printer and LO settings.


I cannot get LO to duplex properly with my Epson Artisan 810 printer, 
but it works with my HP Laserjet 2300.  There is something going on with 
LO that is not picking up the duplexing command correctly for the Epson 
printer.


I am wondering if it is the same for the collating.

I run 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE desktop environment [with some KDE 
mixed into it] and currently 3.5.7.


What version of Linux are you using?  Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, 
Opensuse, etc., etc.?


Since you run Linux, can you try creating a PDF file for your document 
and then use the "default viewer" package for PDF to open it.  Then go 
to your printer's options and try to print 2 or 3 copies of the document 
with the collate option.


ALSO, sometimes I have problems with odd number of pages with 
duplexing.  I have had the last single sided page have the last page of 
the original document on one side and the first page of the new document 
on the second side.


What printer are your using?  Which driver set? 
Original-manufacture-style, CUPS-style or GhostScript-style? Manually 
installed or did the Linux version find the printer driver and installed 
it automatically?


As I said, I have no problems with straight duplexing of a single copy 
of a document on my HP LJ 2300, but I have some problems when I make 
several copies of a document with an odd number of pages. To print a 
duplex document on my Epson Artisan printer, I create a PDF version and 
use the default viewer for the PDF files that comes with Ubuntu, and it 
works fine.


So, it could be the printer, the driver, or LO ability to access the 
proper print options for the printer itself, or a combination there of.


Try the Export to PDF for one copy of the document and then try and 
print the duplex and collated document that way.  If it works, then it 
is a LO printer option issue.  If it does not work properly, then it is 
a printer/driver issue.  My Epson has a problem with LO and my HP has a 
driver issue, the last time I tried it - which was a few months back 
when I was still running Ubuntu 10.04.

Tom,
Actually, no, this is not the first time I have seen this behavior.  I 
rarely print multiple copies, but I have seen this happen before, 
within about 6 months.  That previous time, I was using LO 3.5.3.


Okay, this is really strange.  I just tried it again and got 
1,2,1,2,3,3!  I might add that I am printing duplex, which may 
complicate the LO algorithm.  I tried another 3-page document and it 
behaved the same way.  I then expanded it to 4 pages and got 
1,2,1,2,3,4,3,4.  Where 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are on the same sheets, just 
opposite sides.  Weird.  I just tried doing the same thing with a Calc 
spreadsheet and got the same results.  So the problem is with LO, not 
just Writer.

Hi :)
I think i had a similar problem last week on Windows.  The next time 
i tried pritning it did collate but i have no idea why it didn't work 
or why it magically startedd workign again.  I thought it was just me 
stuffing-up that one time.
So, it's interesting to hear it might be an intermittent problem.  I 
take it that this is the first time that collating has not worked?  
Did work previously?

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Collate print option not working

Greetings,
Has anyone else noticed that the "Collate" option in the print 
dialog is not working?!
I wanted to print 2 copies of a 3-page document and I selected 
"Collate".  However, the pages came out 1,1,2,2,3,3 not the 
1,2,3,1,2,3 that I expected.  So, I unselected "Collate" and it 
still came out 1,1,2,2,3,3!
Is there some other setting controlling this or is it a bug I should 
look into?

Running LO 3.5.7.2 under KDE 3 and Linux.
Thanks in advance.

[libreoffice-users] Save As doc/docx

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
I have an interesting one. I have an odt file (20.3 kB) that crashes LO 
on a Save as .doc. I can however Save as .docx (4.9 kB). It has some 
utf-8 Chinese characters pasted in amongst English.
I'm taking it this is a bug in the .doc export as I can receive .doc 
with mixed characters ok.
Is the .doc export still maintained or is more work being placed into 
the .docx export.

Cheers, Steve

It is still maintained and I'd urge you to report a bug on 
bugs.freedesktop.org. If possible:


a) Attach the document (odt)
b) add me to the qa contact (jmadero@gmail.com)

Many thanks, sorry for the inconvenience

Regards,
Joel

Thanks Joel.
Turns out it is not the mixed charsets that causes the crash, but a 
field. I will file a bug and include files.

Cheers, Steve

Re: [libreoffice-users] Auto changes on a new spreadsheet set for next year

I would like to be able to construct the spreadsheets with a 
method to change the current year, eg 2013 minus 1 to give 2012 
inserted so that the ref in the 2013 spreadsheet reads;-

='file:///home/fred/Generation Readings-2012.ods'#$Jan.A68

Is this possible?


Yes.  You need to concatenate the required year value with the 
strings required before and after it.  Suppose that you have the 
current year - 2013 in your example - in A1 of your new 
spreadsheet.  You need to concatenate 
"'file:///home/fred/Generation Readings-" with A1-1 and 
".ods'#$Jan.A68".  Note that the two single quotes are part of the 
string you are creating and the four double quotes delimit the two 
text strings, so the first string has a single quote immediately 
following its opening double quote.  You can carry out this 
concatenation using the & operator:

="'file:///home/fred/Generation Readings-"&A1-1&".ods'#$Jan.A68"
(The numerical expression A1-1 is converted to a string value automatically.)

You might expect this to work, but it doesn't.  The formula above 
results in a text string which is interpreted literally and not as 
a cell reference to the other spreadsheet file.  But the trick you 
need is available in the INDIRECT() function, which provides the 
necessary conversion.  So the formula which works is

=INDIRECT("'file:///home/fred/Generation Readings-"&A1-1&".ods'#$Jan.A68")


Hi Brian,
Thank you so much, your solution works a treat.

My spreadsheet consists of 15 pages each year, so my next question 
is:- would it be possible to put the new year on page 1 named 
"cover" in cell A2 and then change the "&A1-1&" to reference this on 
for each instance on every page?


Yes.  You refer to a cell on another sheet as sheet.cell.  So you 
would just need to use ...&cover.A2-1&... .

Easy:
o Create text frames at each location.

o Click the Link Frames button in the Frame toolbar.
o Click in the second frame.
o Repeat for further linked frames.

I trust this helps.

The cpp examples that come with libreoffice (remoteclient/docloader etc) don't

Any pointers / links/ tutorials and samples would be appreciated.

Although I don't spend time writing in C++ or Java (to access OOo), my

I thought that the examples in the developer's guide were in C++

Re: [libreoffice-users] Word 2003 to Libre Writer - Comparison Chart

[Dr. R. O Stapf]

I know that the creation of such a tool would take very important dev resources, but it would be a 
good tool to promote LIbO Writer.


But why to compare with Word 2003? As far as I know a big change has taken place with Word 2007 (or 
2010?)/

Hi Folks,

MS Word has a comparison chart which shows you how to perform certain
tasks in Word compared to how you effect them in WordPerfect.

It's an easy chart to check (and learn) Word if you've been a WordPerfect user.

Ex. Ctrl/F8 will perform a certain task in WordPerfect but that same
task is done with different function key combinations in Word

I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar comparison chart
for Libre Writer and Word, especially Word 2003?

The chart would show how a task is done in Word and then next to it
would reveal how that task is done in Libre Writer.

Thanks so much,

Charles.
