Fwd: [libreoffice-users] Value and Date function in Macro

2013-02-10 Thread Johnny Rosenberg

Oh no, I did it again! I sent yet another reply directly to the
original poster. Will I never learn? I really hate the new behaviour
of this list, especially since it's the only list that I am subscribed
to that behaves this way. Maybe it's the only one that is correct, I
don't know, but it annoys me a lot…
Most of the time I don't even know that I sent it to the wrong
destination, but sometimes someone else gives a very similar reply as
mine, and I wonder why mine wasn't good enough, until I realise that
it never was sent to the list, like in this case.

I don't think my reply will spread some new light to this question,
but I'll send it anyway. Maybe someone find it useful in some strange
way that I can't figure out right now…

Anyway, here it is, this time sent to the list and nowhere else:

Exactly what does the currentCellValue string look like? It seems like
you are trying to separate year, month and day from a string, but the
numbers doesn't make 100% sense to me… Looks like currentellValue
looks like:
MM-DD

I wrote a simple macro that prints the date number (number of days
from 1899-12-30 until given date) for the same date in two different
formats: -MM-DD and MMDD:
REM * BASIC *

Option Explicit

Sub Main
Dim pasteValue As Long
Dim currentCellValue As String

currentCellValue="2013-02-09" ' 41314 days since 1899-12-30.

pasteValue=DateSerial(Val(Mid(currentCellValue,1,4)),
Val(Mid(currentCellValue,6,2)), Val(Mid(currentCellValue,9,2)))
Print pasteValue ' Prints 41314

currentCellValue="20130209"
pasteValue=DateSerial(Val(Mid(currentCellValue,1,4)),
Val(Mid(currentCellValue,5,2)), Val(Mid(currentCellValue,7,2)))
Print pasteValue ' Prints 41314
End Sub

Instead of the Print statement, I guess you would set a cell value and
so on, that's up to you. If you do, you can then format the cell to
display the date the way you want and you can perform date
calculations on the cell and so on.

Hope this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Page count does not match visible pages

2013-02-10 Thread C. H. D.



Hello!

I think I have found a bug. I have submitted the bug report.


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60594


This potential bug may affect printing, e.g. producing blank pages because the 
page count does not look correct.


Is there any other information which is necessary to make the report complete?

I wonder if it is a problem of LibreOffice in general or my version of 
LibreOffice only.


Regards,

C. H. D.

I'm not so sure.

This potential bug may affect printing, e.g. producing blank pages 
because the page count does not look correct.


In double-sided printing, odd-numbered pages need to be rectos, or 
right-hand pages, and even ones versos, or left-hand pages.  Your 
second page is numbered "1", so LibreOffice expects to print it on 
the front of a second leaf, not on the reverse of the first leaf.  So 
you have three pages: the first page, the blank reverse, and your 
second page, numbered "1".  Go to File | Page Preview to see the extra page.


If you want to print single-sided, go to Tools | Options... | 
LibreOffice Writer | Print | Other, and remove the tick from "Print 
automatically inserted blank pages".  Then you won't get a blank 
sheet.  You can make the same selection on the fly through the 
Options... button in the Print dialogue.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] [Writer] Current page value?

2013-02-10 Thread Jean-Francois Nifenecker


Hello,

does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve the current page number 
in a pre-defined variable in Writer?


The page count is available through the PAGE var, but I can't find 
anywhere (or do I have missed smthg?) a way to test against the current 
page num.


The aim is to have some text in the footer of any page, but the last one 
(eg "to be cont'd") without regard to the pages styles.


TIA

libreoffice-common

when i looked through all the packages in the Deb and desktop integration
folders i found there was one!  I'm sure it's been there in previous
releases?!  However when i double-click on a docX or odt or anything
then LibreOffice 4 does successfully open it.


So, it's a bit weird but doesn't seem to be problem unless i try that odd
way of opening LO in a way that i would never normally have tried unless i 
wanted to try to collect error reports and stuff (ie never).

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

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

some entries I want the name to be all caps.



As stated by Fernand, styles are the way to go.

Just to add some details: you only get *data* from a database. Not 
formatting, never. The formatting has to be done within the presentation 
tool, here in the text processor, by applying the appropriate formats 
wherever you need them.


EG: you may apply an ALL CAPSs or Title Case format to the field you want.

in fact the problem is different from a 1st page - other pages formatting.

Here, I want to have footers with "to be cont'd" for any page but the 
last one, whatever the page style and the page number, which I don't

As far as I know, you can't do this without different page styles. Sorry.

Do you need to do this?  Don't most people know that, in the absence

Good web designers refer to, say, a map and make the word "map" a 
hyperlink to the relevant map.  Poor web designers try to teach 
people how to use the web, so they write "To see our map, please 
click here" - with the word "here" as the link.  (And 
I-speak-your-links software for blind users says not "map" but "here, 
here, here ..."!)  It sounds as if your book is attempting to teach 
people to turn the page for a continuation of the text.  But I hope not.


In any case, is this the reason why this may be an unusual request?

This is for text-only documents like letters or internal written 
documents. This "to be cont'd" is to de-ambiguate and make sure a reader 
won't miss a page.


And, yes, this is mandatory. I want to provide the user with a template 
that takes this into account. For the 1st page, I can add a hidden text 
field with the PAGE==1 condition. But for the other pages, I'm at a loss.

Why do you want to give the information this way? For not binded sheets

Yes, I also use the "k / n" thingy.

Yet, here in France, the ".../..." at the bottom of pages (eq "to be 
cont'd") is *very* common since the typewriter days and many people just 
demand they are there, even though we now use computers . 
Unfortunately, I'm not in a position where I may impose anything. If I

I've got the file.

"Blurring" is the way the picture is stretched to fit the whole area. 
This stretching is nowadays done with smooth transition. In older OOo 
versions it was done by pixel enlarging. This stretching does not react 
on the "antialiasing" setting, so there is no way to avoid it.


I've not looked whether an enhancement request exists, that the user can 
choose the way the stretching is done.


In the current situation you need to make a bitmap as high as the chart 
area to avoid stretching.

Hi :)
Has anyone been able to fix this yet?  I tend to prefer to spell it out and say 
"Page x of n." but i think i'm alone in doing that.  I have seen the / mark 
used quite frequently.  It's interesting to see how other countries or other 
professions or industries do things slightly differently.  Doing things the 
'wrong' way can cause endless problems even if they are substantially better.

I have the legacy Version 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:101)) om my main
box, running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the Cinnamon environment and, not
surprisingly, entering »soffice« from the command line lauches that version
of LO. I installed version 4.0.0.3 a couple of days ago, and if I instead
perform »/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/soffice« it is that version which will
launch. What I should like to do is to entirely replace the former with the
latter (with which, so far, I am very happy), so that when I run »soffice«

Hi :) Has anyone been able to fix this yet?  I tend to prefer to

interesting to see how other countries or other professions or

Here, in letters, the "page x of n" is not allowed, while ".../..." is 
very frequent, at least in public services where I work.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing the Deb

2013-02-10 Thread Don Myers

Tom,

I used the following instructions to upgrade to LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on
three machines with Ubuntu 12.10. It has worked really well so far. No
issues installing or using it. The bug that made some functions in Base
run unacceptably slow have been fixed!!!

*Instructions for the 64 Bit Debian Version:*
Download LibreOffice_4.0.0.3 to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the
folder LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb

Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice4.0-debian-menus_4.0.0-103_all.deb
4. If using Unity, Open Dash, type Libre and you will see the different
components (Writer, Calc, etc.). Simply drag the icons for them over to
where you wish to have them in the launcher bar.

If you install it in this manner using the official Document Foundation
version, and you type libreoffice in the command line, I get the following:
The program 'libreoffice' is currently not installed. You can install
it by typing:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-common
An install as shown above does not have any repository from which it
originated. Therefore there aren't any updates, which I understand. If
it showed up as an installed program, Ubuntu would try to update the
LibreOffice with its own version which would lead to a royal mess!!
I did not get a message saying there is a missing package like you did.

I confirm the CLI libreoffice gives the error missing libreoffice-common
run sudo apt-get libreoffice-common.

This was using LO 4.0 (direct download) and Mint 13 Maya. All the
features have beens installed including help-pack and SDK

LO 4.0 does run when menu or file is clicked.

What is the CLI entry to run LO 4.0 in Linux I think is the question.

Command line to run LO 4.0 (or earlier versions as well) in linux:

/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/**soffice.  (Note, you could use sbase,
scalc, etc. instead of soffice.)
   When Ubuntu installs it version of LO, it puts a script that starts
LO in Path$. So, if you want to use the command line, add
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program to Path$. Then use sbase, scalc, sdraw,
simpress, or soffice in the command line. Ubuntu will know what to do with
it.
   What I do is to add a menu to the top panel. Within it, I have the
icons (tools?) that will open the particular version of a program such as
LO that I want. You have to edit the Applications menu first creating a new
menu. Then add the new menu to the top panel. (There is a little more to do
with this though.)

This is probably the best way for future reference.

Run synaptic and select for complete removal all instances of the 
LibreOffice-3.6.0.1, including Uno, apply changes. You should then be 
able to run LibO 4 from either a menu, the terminal or from a customised 
launcher on the panel.


In terms of simplicity, FWIW, I have always used the option of adding an 
application launcher to my panel, and selecting the application I want 
installed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing the Deb

2013-02-10 Thread Don Myers


Hi Tom,

This method should uninstall all LibreOffice versions at one time. I've 
seen one person recommend using a purge command also to make sure all 
LibreOffice elements are removed. This method really works very well. 
Just paste three commands in a terminal and you have a complete new 
version. The install process this way is fast. I think significantly 
faster than if you were installing an upgrade in Windows. The only 
downside to this method is if you wanted multiple versions installed at 
one time.

Yes, I also use the "k / n" thingy.

Yet, here in France, the ".../..." at the bottom of pages (eq "to be cont'd") is *very* common

[libreoffice-users] Find out a name of inserted image in Impress

2013-02-10 Thread v_2e

  Hello!
  I have some problem with opening a presentation created in Impress
v.3.5 with a new Impress v.4.0.0.3. Particularly, it turned out that
some images are absent on the slides in 4.0 while they are present when
I open the presentation on my friend's PC with LO 3.6 on it. 

  So, I do not remember which slide contained which image or video. How
can I find out the name of the inserted image or video file?

  Thank you!

Vladimir

"x / y" is extensively used 'round here. "Page x sur y" is also met but

After posting above, I remembered that I'd actually done this sort of thing
before, but with a twist, i e, creating icons for and links to the new
version while retaining the earlier one. In the Cinnamon menu I clicked on
Main Menu and then «Add new object» and filled in the necessary information
and commands, i e, /opt/libre4.0/program/swriter for Writer. The customary
LibreOffice icons were found under, e g,
/user/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps. I now can access LibreOffice 4.0
functions with a simple click on my Cinnamon top panel, just the way I like
it. Thanks to all who replied with suggestions !...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Find out a name of inserted image in Impress

2013-02-10 Thread Tom Davies

Hi :)
If you create a copy of the file and then change the file-ending from .pptX or 
.odp to .zip then you can double-click to open the file as though it was a 
compressed file.  There should be a folder called "Images" or something 
similar.  The images might still be in there but somehow just not showing up in 
the file normally.  If so then you can drag them out of the folder and then 
re-insert them.  

I don't know how to find the proper name of image files because they mostly 
seem to get changed to incomprehensible reference numbers.  I've tried playing 
around a bit but got nowhere.  

Hopefully Regina or someone might have a better answer!
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

  Yes, I know that .odp files are actually the archives, and I
extracted some images from such files in the past, but now I have a bit
different task. I do have all the images, but I just do not remember
the correct order for them, that is why I am looking for a way to check
the file names on each slide separately.

Re: off-list Re: [libreoffice-users] Serious problems with "Insert Movie and Sound..." on MAC OS X 2 bugs.

2013-02-10 Thread Declan Moriarty

I have subscribed to the list again.  I didn't get any responses to the email 
requesting help with inserting Movie and Sound.  I submitted 2 bugs about the 
subject.  One about the text wrapping problem and the other not being able to 
play videos in OS X Snow Leopard.  The latter is a regression from 3.3.

The same things happen in 4.0.0 and also embedding audio doesn't work in 4.0.0 
it did in 3.6.5.  The video situation is just the same.

How do you bump up thread in an email list?

I have had no response to the bugs about inserting Movies and Sound which were 
sent a week ago.  I have had some response about a BUGASSISTANT bug where the 
BUGASSISTANT won't work in Safari and just comes up with a message saying it 
isn't working pleas try later.  It does work immediately if you use Firefox or 
any other browser.  Someone said they couldn't reproduce it and could people 
running Snow Leopard please try to reproduce it.  Also the bug tittle was 
corrected by someone with the correct working of the message.  But that is all. 
 Nothing about the Movies and Sound errors, that seem serious.

Did you get any good answers to this?  Have the problems been sorted out in the

Declan,

Saw your bugs when you filed them the first time and also the email to the
forum.

One thing that is very helpful is if in your ML exchanges regards bugzilla
reporting your include your  bug ID.

Yours are:

fdo#60218    for Writer
text wrapping
fdo#60228    for
Writer/Impress non-playing videos
fdo#60229   for
BUGZILLAASSISTANT use with Safari - OSX  10.6.8 SnowLeopard

All well written with exception that you did not identify what version of  
OS X and hardware.

Your fdo#60228 is a know issue duplicating   fdo#56847
  , so yours will
probably be closed and merged.

I have confirmed your fdo#60218 as also valid on Windows 7 64-bit under
LibreOffice 4.0.0

Please respond to any dev requests regards any of the bugs, and always
appropriate to refine your submissions with additional details as you think
of them or find work arounds.

Stuart

I confirm the CLI libreoffice gives the error missing

This was using LO 4.0 (direct download) and Mint 13 Maya. All the 
features have beens installed including help-pack and SDK


LO 4.0 does run when menu or file is clicked.

What is the CLI entry to run LO 4.0 in Linux I think is the question.

[libreoffice-users] How-To "bump a thread"

2013-02-10 Thread Tom Davies

Hi :)
Generally it's bad ettiquette to bump a thread, particularly your own, without 
good reason.  No response for a couple of days after the initial posting is a 
very good reason though.  

To bump it simply reply to it and make sure your reply gets to the list.  Often 
an initial post might contain tons of info and re-typing would be a pain so 
just reply to the message and add a short comment, perhaps to update or add 
something that might be useful.  The new comment arrives back at the top of the 
list and if it's worked then people see the original post.  


The best link i got from googling it was this odd one

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page count does not match visible pages

2013-02-10 Thread C. H. D.

Hello!

Thanks for responding and giving advice. I am glad that I have supplied enough 
information for the Quality Assurance team to reproduce this issue. Thanks a 
lot.

I have tried: (both checking and unchecking)

Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Print | Other | "Print automatically 
inserted blank pages"

The page count still appears as 3/3. It seems that this option is not relevant, 
I am afraid.

Consider File -> Export as PDF. In both cases, only two pages are visible in 
each PDF file.

Regards,
C. H. D.

In double-sided printing, odd-numbered pages need to be rectos, or right-hand 
pages, and even ones versos, or left-hand pages.  Your second page is numbered 
"1", so LibreOffice expects to print it on the front of a second leaf, not on 
the reverse of the first leaf.  So you have three pages: the first page, the 
blank reverse, and your second page, numbered "1".  Go to File | Page Preview 
to see the extra page.

If you want to print single-sided, go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice 
Writer | Print | Other, and remove the tick from "Print automatically inserted 
blank pages".  Then you won't get a blank sheet.  You can make the same 
selection on the fly through the Options... button in the Print dialogue.

I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Value and Date function in Macro

On 02/08/2013 05:15 PM, Joel Madero wrote:

Hi All,

I have a macro setup that can easily do the following:

pasteValue = mid(currentCellValue,1,4)

What is the format of "currentCellValue"? You grab the first four
characters in your example above? Your code is dependent on how it is
formatted.

a string is stored to pasteValue which I then can manipulate how I want.

What I want to do is make it actually more like this:

pasteValue =
date(value(mid(currentCellValue,1,4),value(mid(currentCellValue,5,2),value(mid(currentCellValue,8,2))

This won't work, there are so many things wrong with this, I won't
even try to deal with what you did wrong. Instead, I will guess what
you meant to do.

Curious why this works so well when in a cellworks exactly how I
want it to. So, it must be possible to work in a macro as well.

I am guessing that you are using something like a four digit year, a
two digit month, and then a two digit day. Is this correct? If so,
then you can CDateFromIso(currentCellValue), and this will give you a
date object directly and do all the work for you. This is the easiest
solution I think.

currentCellValue is a string that is ##.##., again this is a string

If you really want to do the hard work and rip values out, you
probably want to use

DateSerial(year, month, day)

In your case, it is probably:

DateSerial(mid(currentCellValue,1,4), mid(currentCellValue,5,2),
mid(currentCellValue,7,2))

Your strings will be automatically converted to numbers, so you don't
need to do it in your macro.

It needs to be done in macro, there is a big loop that it has to go through.

Disclaimer: This will return a number, which will not cause the cell
to be formatted as a date; you must set the formatting to be a date.

This isn't a problem.

I'll try with what you've provided.

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Tom,

This method should uninstall all LibreOffice versions at one time. I've
seen one person recommend using a purge command also to make sure all
LibreOffice elements are removed. This method really works very well. Just
paste three commands in a terminal and you have a complete new version. The
install process this way is fast. I think significantly faster than if you
were installing an upgrade in Windows. The only downside to this method is
if you wanted multiple versions installed at one time.

LibreOffice icons were found under, e g,

it. Thanks to all who replied with suggestions !...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing the Deb

2013-02-10 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P

I do not like all that typing.

What I do is use the default file manager and double click the archived
file and unarchive it. Then I take the folder that is created and
rename it to Lib or LibO. That way you do not need to type all of the
characters of the folder's name. I also do not use the desktop as the
"storage" place fore the unarchived folder[s].

I keep forgetting the "remove" command so I use the package manager to
remove the LO packages from the previous version that was installed.
Works well for me.

Also, I tend to use the "cd" command to go to the proper folder[s] where
the "dpkg" command is needed. Long ago, in my mainframe days, I was
taught to go to the folder[s] where my files are to run them. That is
what I try to do. The only time I do not is when I have a launcher icon
to work with on my desktop. I prefer to use the GUI more than the
terminal anyways. Easier on my fingers and my typing skills after 3
strokes. So I do things as easy as I can, or easy as I can remember to
do/use.

On 02/10/2013 01:06 PM, Don Myers wrote:

Tom,

Run the following terminal commands to install it:

4. If using Unity, Open Dash, type Libre and you will see the

If you install it in this manner using the official Document

get the following:
The program 'libreoffice' is currently not installed. You can install
it by typing:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-common
An install as shown above does not have any repository from which it
originated. Therefore there aren't any updates, which I understand. If
it showed up as an installed program, Ubuntu would try to update the
LibreOffice with its own version which would lead to a royal
mess!! I did not get a message saying there is a missing package

[libreoffice-users] Version 4.0 - Enjoying it?

2013-02-10 Thread Joel Madero


Hi All,

I hope you're all enjoying the new release of LibreOffice 4! For those 
of you who are finding LibreOffice to be a great productivity suite I 
encourage you to head over to http://donate.libreoffice.org/ and donate 
a few dollars to allow our great team of developers to continue 
improving on an already incredible product. LibreOffice is free and open 
but for many, it allows us to rid ourselves from other software which 
can be hundreds of dollars, even $5 helps a ton to maintain our 
infrastructure and to promote LibreOffice worldwide.


I hope all of you will consider.

Thanks for reading!

Joel

Comment # 2 on bug 60390 from V Stuart Foote

Also, confirm that ref file will not open in Windows build of LibreOffice 4.0.0
rc3. But on same system it will open in Office 2007 with no issue. And
interestingly will also open in an Apache OpenOffice Dev 4.0 build (r1441343).

So something in this .DOC MS Office 97-2003 formated file is now being
mishandled by LibO. Changning to NEEDINFO as devs are going to need log details
of what is causing the hang up.

I'm not so sure.

This potential bug may affect printing, e.g. producing blank pages 
because the page count does not look correct.


In double-sided printing, odd-numbered pages need to be rectos, or 
right-hand pages, and even ones versos, or left-hand pages. Your 
second page is numbered "1", so LibreOffice expects to print it on 
the front of a second leaf, not on the reverse of the first leaf. 
So you have three pages: the first page, the blank reverse, and 
your second page, numbered "1". Go to File | Page Preview to see 
the extra page.


If you want to print single-sided, go to Tools | Options... | 
LibreOffice Writer | Print | Other, and remove the tick from "Print 
automatically inserted blank pages". Then you won't get a blank 
sheet. You can make the same selection on the fly through the 
Options... button in the Print dialogue.


I have tried: (both checking and unchecking)

Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Print | Other | "Print 
automatically inserted blank pages"


The page count still appears as 3/3. It seems that this option is 
not relevant, I am afraid.


Sorry, but you misunderstand me. What I am saying is that everything 
you see is by design, and will not be seen as a bug: Writer still 
sees three pages, even if you choose to print only two of these.


Consider File -> Export as PDF. In both cases, only two pages are 
visible in each PDF file.


That's because the same option is controlled separately for exporting 
to PDF. The PDF Options dialogue, which you see when you use File | 
Export as PDF..., has, at the foot of the General tab, a separate 
"Export automatically inserted blank pages" tick box. Yours must 
currently be unticked. Writer thinks that if you print that exported 
PDF document double-sided, you will need that extra page - to ensure 
that your second significant page prints on the front of the second 
sheet, not on the reverse of the first.


I suppose that there is no simple answer to this which takes account 
of both single- and double-sided printing in an intuitive 
fashion.  But there's no bug, I think.
