Hi :)
I think recent word from MS is that they are not even going to do a version of 
MSO 2013 for Mac let alone for GnuLinux.  I'm not sure why Ballmer would make 
such a claim and i'm not sure i would trust it either.  There is bound to be a 
Mac version in about a year.  Perhaps they are trying to push people into using 
their equivalent of google-docs.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Right ! in my experience it's almost always -much- simpler to edit the
core code directly :-)

  I haven't looked at C++ in a long time but it shouldn't be 
 that difficult to pick up again, and it should be easy to get the code 
 suite into my Eclipse development environment once I update it for C++.

Sounds great.

 I'm also running out of time for relating Calc's compatibility to Excel 
 2002 as in April/May the organisation I work for is upgrading to 2010, 
 so I may just have to develop for compatibilty with that.

:-)

  I have 2010 installed on this machine at home, but it is running
 under Windows and I'll be doing my development work under Linux, and
 last time I looked Office 2010 doesn't run under Wine nor CrossOver Office.

So - often transferring files to/from a virtual-machine works; I use
Office 2007 under Codeweavers Wine just fine (well a few rendering
glitches from time to time but good for quick interop. testing).

Out of interest do you have a bug or two you want to hack on there ?
the Pivot table code is in:

sc/source/core/data/dp*.cxx (last I looked)

and the UI pieces in places like:

sc/source/ui/dbgui/dpgroupdlg.cxx

Better than that - we have unit tests for this stuff which live in:

sc/qa/unit/ucalc.cxx /testPivotTable/

and other bits there. I'd recommend getting some sample documents setup
that expose the new core features you want - and play with the master
branch there. Of course this is best discussed on the developers list
(no subscription required) which I've CC'd.

HTH,

Michael.

[libreoffice-users] Templates for Minutes

Hi :)
I just looked through the Templates web-page
http://templates.libreoffice.org/template-center

but i couldn't find anything there to help people wanting to  write-up  Minutes 
a bit more easily.  

I found a few things on
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/search/node/Minutes
but i haven't tried them yet and anyway would prefer something from LibreOffice 
in case there are any wildernesses.  


Any ideas?

Since 'liberation serif' is a font that most people outside of the
LO/Linux world would not be using, I think you should look into a more
common font used by publishing houses.  I would look into changing the
fonts used and see which one works best for your needs.  If you are
dealing with a publisher, ask which fonts they use.


Is there a cross-platform font available, in both sans serif and serif styles?



Are you asking if there is one font that is installed on most Windows, 
MacOSX, and Linux OS installs?  Or are you asking if there is a font set 
that can be installed on them?


If the first, then not likely, since Windows changes it default 
installed fonts for every version and last I knew MAC did not have the 
same font names as Windows.


Not if you want to install a font on Windows, MacOSX, and Linux, well 
that is different.  I do not know if MacOSX will install TTF fonts, or 
OTF type, but I know that there are font sites where you can find fonts 
listing both MAC and Windows versions.  Linux should be able to install 
TTF and OTF fonts like Windows, at least my Ubuntu/Linux does.


So, all you have to do is find a font that works on MAC and Windows, and 
it should work for Linux.  Then you just install them on all three 
platforms.


Well, that said, there is a harder way.
Go through all of the documentation on which fonts are installed with 
which versions of Windows and MAC. Then look at  chart that list which 
fonts on MAC are the same as the ones on Windows, but have different 
names of the MAC system.  Then go from there.


I do not have MAC, but I have a core set of fonts that I make sure are 
installed on my Windows andLinux systems.


THEN, if I need to send documents out to others, I embed the fonts in 
those documents. Most PDF printer drivers, like CUPS-PDF [Linux] and 
doPDF [Windows] will embed the fonts used into the file so the viewer of 
the document will see it the way you wanted it to be.


The problem really is not with your systems, but what others have 
installedon there.  If you want your document to work on their systems, 
with the same font and such, you must embed the fonts in their documents.


LO, well their PDF exportation system was working on embedding all the 
fonts, instead of just some.  I do not know how far along it is but it 
is not the easiest thing to do.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Development of Extensions for LibreOffice

Hi :)
WoooHooo, C++ is much better and working with the devs in LO means the code can 
be tested more widely than if it was just written as a purely in-house 
Extension.  Hopefully resulting in better code and better support for that code 
for whatever the company needed.

Tom :)

I have seen the same behavior in PowerPoint. AFAIK the assumption is 
that the text being entered must fit on one slide so the size is 
adjusted to fit the text area on the slide.

[libreoffice-users] Calc - Format code - How to omit an unneeded decimal point before a currency symbol, text or unit

2013-02-07 Thread Tobias Simon

Abstract:
Calc
Format Code
How to omit an unneeded decimal point before a currency symbol, text or unit?


Hi to all interested,

when I use the format code 0.##
PI() yields 3.14 and
23 yields 23 (note the omitted decimal point).

With the format code 0.## [$$]
23 yields 23.
and the unneeded decimal point is not omitted as desired.

Same with the format codes
0.## [$TEXT]
0.## 
0.## UNIT
0.## UNIT
and
0.??

0.## on the other hand works, but is not very useful.

Is this a hard constraint, a bug or is there a way around it, e.g. a condition 
like [0] which detects rounding?

Regards, Tobias Simon


Bonus:
0.?? should replace an unneeded decimal point with U+2008 Punctuation Space.

Did you install LO manually? If so you may not have installed the
desktop integration which is a separate step in the Linux manual install.

From the readme.txt file:

Installation of LibreOffice on Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux systems
--

If you have a previous version of LibreOffice already installed, then
you will need to de-install it before proceeding further. For
instructions on how to install a language pack (after having installed
the US English version of LibreOffice), please read the section below
entitled Installing a Language Pack.

When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the contents
have been decompressed into a sub-directory. Open a file manager window,
and change directory to the one starting with LibO_, followed by the
version number and some platform information.

This directory contains a subdirectory called DEBS. Change directory
to the DEBS directory.

Right-click within the directory and choose Open in Terminal. A
terminal window will open. From the command line of the terminal window,
enter the following command (you will be prompted to enter your root
user's password before the command will execute):

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The above dpkg command does the first part of the installation process.
To complete the process, you also need to install the desktop
integration packages. To do this, change directory to the
desktop-integration directory that is within the DEBS directory,
using the following command:

cd desktop-integration

Now run the dpkg command again:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for
all the LibreOffice applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu.

Thank you for your reply, but this was not what I was referring to. I was
referring to the Unity menu-bar integration.

If you look at the  New Features page
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-0-new-features-and-fixes  , about
halfway down (under the title GUI), you will see a screen-shot of the
Unity Integration.

Since my last posting, I have been informed that perhaps it may not work in
Ubuntu versions prior to the current Alpha version (13.04), so perhaps it
will not work in 12.04?

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I change the case of a field in writer?

 paul,

add a style to the text in the field

I'm using writer to import data from a database.   Can I set the format on
the field so some entries will be all caps and some will only capitalize the
first letter of a word?  I want to insert names from the database.   Most
entries I want to have only the first letter of the name capitalized, but
some entries I want the name to be all caps.

Thanks,

That's not the problem. The menu items are fine. I am talking about the

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 4.0 Unity Integration in Ubuntu 12.04

Hi :)
All bug-fixes and stuff gets backported to 12.04 for the next 4 years.  If 
something isn't working well right now then it'll probably get fixed reasonably 
soon.  If a more recent version of Ubuntu already has a fix for something then 
12.04 will get it really soon.

From my understanding this is't true. Only specific bug fixes are
backported. I remember with 10.04 I had to ask several times to have a
patch that was on 11.04 to be backported.

Good questions, and I think I know the answers. Canonical tends to freeze
applications for a specific version, releasing updated versions only if
needed for security. Firefox, Chromium and Thunderbird are the only
exceptions due to their unusual release mechanisms.

I believe that there have been large changes to the core code of Unity
between 12.04 and 12.10, and further changes to 13.04. So, that could
explain it: Canonical created package lo-menubar for Unity, but it works
(badly) only on LibreOffice 3.5 if I remember correctly. It does not work on
later versions, and indeed conflicts with them.

krackedpress wrote

Well, that's Canonical's way. You can either upgrade every six months to a
new Ubuntu version, or stick with the LTS. The structure is there to cater
for the home users who like to keep up-to-date (non-LTS) and the business
and corporate users who prefer longer-term stability (LTS). I tend to stick
with the LTS for stability, but because I use Libre Office extensively, I
prefer to keep Libre Office updated especially when earlier versions have
bugs.

Conclusion:

Given all the comments that have been given on this thread (and some more
that I received off-list), I believe we can conclude that it won't work
before 13.04.

I'll just have to wait for 14.04 before using the Unity Integration.
Fortunately, it is not a big deal. We can live with it.

Thank you everyone for your responses — they have been helpful.

Hi All,

It seems like many of the QA team are unavailable for tomorrow's meeting
which makes discussion much harder.

If there is no objection (within the next few hours) the call tomorrow
(February 8th) has been CANCELED in order to ensure that we have our full
QA team handling the agenda.

We will plan on having our next call at the regular scheduled day:

February 22nd, 2013 @ 1400 UTC


Assume that the call is CANCELED unless I send out another email :-D

Apologies for spamming all mailing lists, but I wanted to share the

I have collected clippings in English, but it looks there are as many in

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 4.0 Unity Integration in Ubuntu 12.04

2013-02-07 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P

Why not make sure that the version of LO work for the current
Long-Term-Support version of Ubuntu Unity? I do not use Unity, since I
do not like it. But There will be a lot of Unity users who will want LO
to work with their 12.04LTS version till the next LTS comes out. I did
not use 11.04/11.10 but waited till 12.04LTS.

Is there any way to make sure that LO works with 12.04LTS, 12.10, 13.04,
and then 13.10?

Right now, articles state Mint Linux [MATE or Cinnamon] is more popular
than Ubuntu/Unity [and the other desktop environments for it]. But if
we turn off some of our Linux users, then where will it stop after
that? I use Ubuntu, but I hate Unity so I do not use it. BUT, many
people love Unity and those people are most likely LO users and really
would be upset if the specific Unity menu system will not work with LO.

I wonder why the integration will not work with 12.xx since that it the

why would they work on doing the work on the OS version that is not even
out?

krackedpress wrote

So if the next LTS is 14.04LTS, then there will be a lot of Ubuntu users
[Unity or others] that will be still using 12.xx for another year or so.
Now work for 12.xx, does not make sense. It needs to work and not make
you wait till 13.04 or later.

Conclusion:

Given all the comments that have been given on this thread (and some more
that I received off-list), I believe we can conclude that it won't work
before 13.04.

I'll just have to wait for 14.04 before using the Unity Integration.
Fortunately, it is not a big deal. We can live with it.

Thank you everyone for your responses — they have been helpful.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How-to video of using Firefox Personas

I see I'm not the only one playing around with that in 4.0. I thought
it was pretty neat, I now have StarTrekXI personas on FF, T'Bird and LO.
The only drawback is the menu bar text is black so if the persona has
black in that area the text disappears.

 Since 'liberation serif' is a font that most people outside of the

 dealing with a publisher, ask which fonts they use.

 Is there a cross-platform font available, in both sans serif and serif
 styles?


 Are you asking if there is one font that is installed on most Windows,
 MacOSX, and Linux OS installs?  Or are you asking if there is a font set
 that can be installed on them?


Ideally yes, otherwise a font in gnu/linux that has equivalents in the
other systems.


 The problem really is not with your systems, but what others have
 installedon there.  If you want your document to work on their systems,
 with the same font and such, you must embed the fonts in their documents.


Understood for pdf, but for odf it would be nice if a document could
be distributed for editing and the font remained unchanged.

AFAIK Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman, and Courier are available for 
both Linux and Windows. I do not know the equivalents for Mac.
