[libreoffice-users] SOT - ODF app for Android/Kindle?
I'm having huge difficulty in finding an app for my Kindle Fire that will read and edit ODF documents, which I find absolutely staggering! There's one I've found that will read ODF but not edit.

Re: [libreoffice-users] couple interesting - - sites ...
Hi :) Despite the similarities in the name Freeware is VERY different from Free Software. Free Software follows a very demanding set of engineering principles and the unix principles that ensures security and ensures that the program is robust on a wide range of platforms and on a vast range of hardware. It's usually OpenSource so anyone can be involved in helping with the coding as long as their edits are up to the standards required. Even normal users can get involved and sometimes see results of bug-reports they write. It's easy to get a copy of the source code and read through it so people get embarrased if/when they write something kludgy or even inelegant. Elegant coding gets seen and admired. The aims of Free Software are to liberate people from the traps people fall into such as vendor lock-ins. One of the unix principles is that programs need to be able co-operate with other programs (in our case such as back-ends, calendars, email programs and if you plug pretty much any camera in then LO can probably use it) Freeware is just stuff that doesn't cost anything. They are almost always proprietary and often only have 1 or 2 devs and they might lose interest or just not maintain it. All the problems of proprietary stuff except none of the cash to help with any of it's problems. There are some great people doing some amazing stuff this way but it's like building a house-of-cards. The 2nd link shows something that looks a lot like Gimp. Except that it boasts about having other separate apps in it's suite for different tasks. Gimp does most of those tasks inside the main program or has add-ons that add the functionality in. Also the Gimp interface ahs changed because people didn't like all those separated floating windows/consoles/taskbars/iconbars Regards from Tom :) From: anne-ology lagin...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Monday, 28 January 2013, 17:28 Subject: [libreoffice-users] couple interesting - - sites ... ... for you to peruse - or not ;-) what are your thoughts on this - http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/hardware-secrets-uncomplicating-complicated-website-week.htm and could this enhance IMPRESS - http://www.jpchacha.com/chasysdraw/index.php -- 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 -- 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

Hi :) How about using the portable version? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/ Then on any Windows machine just plug in your Usb-stick and you find LibreOffice is 'installed'. When you unplug the usb-stick it disappears off the system. It's a rather neat way of getting all your favourite apps on any Windows machine that you don't really have permission to install stuff onto.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Include movie in PDF export?
Hi :) You don't boot-up with the usb-stick plugged in. You just boot-up and login as normal and then stick the usb-stick in. If you could boot-up from the usb-stick then there are tons of even better things you could do such as run an entirely different OS straight from the usb-stick (i've done this quite a lot). It kinda freaks people out until they find that when the usb-stick is unplugged then rebooting the machine does go back into their normal Windows with no trace of the system you were running. However the portable install neatly avoids all that fuss and just works on the normal Windows that the machine is locked into.

On the other hand other IT Departments feel threatened by it and revealing that you use OpenSource or anything other than MS stuff gets them all worried about security and other FUD they have been fooled into believing. So, i would be wary about asking the IT Department until after you have successfully run the portable system a few times and shown it doesn't cause them any problems. Hmmm, also i was wondering if Google-docs has a presentation app that you could use to show the slides? If they do then that might be a less scary route.

I can place an .avi file in a Writer document and it plays fine in the document. But I need to play the video during a presentation in class and the university computers do not have LibreOffice on them, so the obvious solution is to export as PDF. However, I can't get the video to play in the PDF. Can it be done? Not that I know of. I've never seen a PDF with an embedded video before. Best bet, upload video to youtube, link to the video Best Regards, Joel -- *Joel Madero* LibO QA Volunteer jmadero@gmail.com -- 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 -- 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 -- 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] couple interesting - - sites ...
Hi :) Thanks Anne :) There are a lot of people in here that know a lot more about this than me. I just happened to look up the unix principles the other day.

Wow, you continue to amaze me with your knowledge of these machines, et.al. as well as your ability to express yourself. On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 12:20 PM, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.ukwrote: Hi :) Despite the similarities in the name Freeware is VERY different from Free Software. Free Software follows a very demanding set of engineering principles and the unix principles that ensures security and ensures that the program is robust on a wide range of platforms and on a vast range of hardware. It's usually OpenSource so anyone can be involved in helping with the coding as long as their edits are up to the standards required. Even normal users can get involved and sometimes see results of bug-reports they write. It's easy to get a copy of the source code and read through it so people get embarrased if/when they write something kludgy or even inelegant. Elegant coding gets seen and admired. The aims of Free Software are to liberate people from the traps people fall into such as vendor lock-ins. One of the unix principles is that programs need to be able co-operate with other programs (in our case such as back-ends, calendars, email programs and if you plug pretty much any camera in then LO can probably use it) Freeware is just stuff that doesn't cost anything. They are almost always proprietary and often only have 1 or 2 devs and they might lose interest or just not maintain it. All the problems of proprietary stuff except none of the cash to help with any of it's problems. There are some great people doing some amazing stuff this way but it's like building a house-of-cards. The 2nd link shows something that looks a lot like Gimp. Except that it boasts about having other separate apps in it's suite for different tasks. Gimp does most of those tasks inside the main program or has add-ons that add the functionality in. Also the Gimp interface ahs changed because people didn't like all those separated floating windows/consoles/taskbars/iconbars Regards from Tom :) -- *From:* anne-ology lagin...@gmail.com *To:* users@global.libreoffice.org *Sent:* Monday, 28 January 2013, 17:28 *Subject:* [libreoffice-users] couple interesting - - sites ... ... for you to peruse - or not ;-) what are your thoughts on this - http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/hardware-secrets-uncomplicating-complicated-website-week.htm and could this enhance IMPRESS - http://www.jpchacha.com/chasysdraw/index.php -- 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 -- 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] SOT - ODF app for Android/Kindle?
There is also CloudOn which gives you MS Office for free as long as you have an internet connection (all legal, according to their website) and you can upload straight from the file manger or the Downloads app. Not the fastest, especially if you are in the UK.
