This is generally not true for openSUSE.

There are repositories for the very latest GNOME [3.8.x], that includes
the latest and greatest Evolution and other related GNOME apps.  And the
newer ones are *notably* better.  Quality has improved amazingly in

To add a repo is just zypper ar {URL} {NAME}.  Then you can zypper
dup --from {NAME} to move to the packages offered by that repo.

For LibreOffice there is an unstable repo

zypper ar

This provides LibreOffice 4.1

Dear all,

What I need to do is to include source code examples in my document (C,
Fortran90, Python, Bash).
For each language you have a syntax highlighting, and I'm wondering whether
LibreOffice can handle this.
tried to create a style but It seems I can't define which word to
highlight or to bold.
Does anybody teach programming with LibreOffice?
Any hits here?
Thank you,

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with eLAIX extension on LibO 4.0

Hi :)  

Congrats on fixing it!  Sometimes it is worth pinpointing exactly what caused 
the problem but other times it is better to shrug it off and put it down to bad 
luck which you have now beaten (inshalla).  Maybe if it happens again it might 
be worth
 finding the cause?  

Regards from 
Tom :)  








 

Thanks, Niklas and Fernand.

I just reinstalled once more eLAIX 4.0.3 and now it runs perfectly. Anyway, 
before reinstalling it, I check the BASIC macros and LibO had eLAIX there 
(under My macros), but, apparently, some of the paths were wrong. Maybe 
because I first installed eLAIX on LibO 4.1 and then downgrade to 4.0? No 
idea, but still it works now, so thanks everybody!

Hi Joaquín

It sounds like the macro code is not located where the toolbar thinks 
it's located or is missing.

If you press Alt+F11
Under My macros (Mina makron in Swedish) do you find a eLAIX?
if not do you see eLAIX under LibreOffice Macros
 (LibreOffice-makron)?

I did personally not have any issues installing and using the extension 
on LibreOffice 4.0.4 on Windows 7 64-bit so it should be compatible with 
that version.

Just to make sure, you have reinstalled the extension, in any case do it 
again and see if you get any different result. Something might have gone 
wrong when you upgraded that might be fixed by uninstalling and 
reinstalling the extension.

Med vänlig hälsning
Niklas Johansson

Joaquín Lameiro skrev 2013-08-08 14:26:
 Hello.

 I have installed the eLAIX extension for Libre Office and it won't work. No 
 matter what action I try to perform, I get a message of this kind:
 BASIC runtime error.
 An exception of
 Type: com.sun.star.container.NoSuchElementException
 Message:
 occurred.

 (the message occurs in Swedish, this is a quick translation).

 I used eLAIX for Libre Office in other computers and systems, and it worked 
 perfectly, so I have no idea what the problem might be.
 This time, I am running Libre Office 4.0.4.2 on Windows Vista 32 bits SP 2 
 and I've tried eLAIX versions 4.0.3 (current stable version) and 4.0.1 
 (first version supporting LibO 4.0). I had previously tried eLAIX 4.0.3 on 
 LibO 4.1.0, and I thought the problem was due to eLAIX not supporting LibO 
 4.1, so I uninstalled LibO 4.1 and returned to 4.0. Anyway, the problem 
 still the same: no matter what version of LibO or eLAIX I use, I get the 
 above error message or something similar.

 Could you give me a hand on this? Thanks for your kindness.

 Best regards,
 Joaquín

2013-08-12 Thread William Drago

I do this all the time using the syntax highlighter in
Notepad++.

If you don't have Notepad++ (my favorite code/text editor),
get it here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Here's how to get syntax highlighted code into your
LibreOffice documents:

1: Open source file with Notepad++
2: In Notepad++ click Plugins NppExport Export to RTF

You will now have a syntax highlighted copy of your source
file however, it will be double spaced. To remove the extra
spaces proceed as follows:

1: With any editor, open the .rtf file you just created
2: Search and replace \par with \line
3: Save file

Open the .rtf file with LibreOffice Writer, select all
(CTRL-A), copy paste into your working document.

This sounds like a bit of an ordeal, but I do this quite
frequently, and once you've done it a few times, it becomes
very fast and easy.

Good luck,

-Bill

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with eLAIX extension on LibO 4.0

2013-08-12 Thread Niklas Johansson


Sorry to hear that you are still having troubles with this.

So what that line of code is suppose to do is to load the dialogs in the 
library eLAIX so that they can be used by the program. For some reason 
this is not possible.


I've seen some problems with dialog libraries disappearing in some cases 
so let's see if we can pin down if this is what has happened.


Open Writer
Press Alt+F11
Press the button Edit in the dialog that appears
On the left side in the editor you have a tree structure, find eLAIX and 
expand that node

Do you see a DlgAbout or DlgBookmark there under?

We should probably try to formulate a bug report about vanishing dialog 
libraries (as well as basic libraries). I found it hard to formulate 
such a bug since I haven't found when it happens just that it happens 
some times, and I believe it's more and more frequent.


Just a thought, you could try to install the extension as a shared 
extension.
If it is installed as a shared extension then LibreOffice will need 
elevated rights to change the dialogs, which it should not have under 
normal circumstances. Of course this does not fix the actual problem but 
it might make it possible for you to use eLAIX without having to 
repeatedly reinstalling the extension each time the dialogs disappear.


Let us know if you need more information on how to install a shared 
extension, and in that case please let us know what operating system 
your using (Windows, Mac, some sort of Linux distribution ...)


Regards,
Niklas Johansson

I used NoteTab [free] and NotePad ++ as my first Windows programming and
HTML editor.

Having the extension to do the highlighting in Writer is a good idea though.

If I remember correctly, for the Note. . . editors you can find add
ons that are specific to the programming code. I have not tried them
in a few years, but they were a real big aid to my early programming
within the Windows environment. I do not remember when I installed the
first one, but it was in the early days of my having dial-up Internet
access, or a little later. I do not remember if I got online with Win
95 or 98 era. but I know I used them when I was using he new Windows
version - XP.

Would you tell us how large of a document these code samples will be in?

Are you writing a programming guide type of documentation?

Hopefully the RTF formatting option works. Sometimes pictures of text
do not work well, since the snapshot resolution and the print resolution
could be very different. I tend to have to make 600 DPI scanned images
to get a decent near 1 to 1 size image when I print out a best print
option.

If you need to do the snapshot, I would run the image through a scaling
option, with a edge smoothing effect, to make the image in a large
enough DPI and actual print size for your needs that actually look well.
