Actually, that's only if you're sending html content. If you're sending plain text, no you can't. And even if you're sending html, you should also be sending plaintext alongside it, for people like me that are (most of the time, unless I choose otherwise) reading the plaintext version. If you don't I just see the plaintext with the html tags in it. I choose what font it displays in, so no, you have absolutely no control over what font I see things in, unless I switch to html view. I'm sure you know all that, but I felt it was worth pointing out for the poor people out there using things like Outlook who don't know any better.

That would be correct. It's the incoming mail that's scanned, not the outgoing -- and too many spam checkers look only at the IP address.

As for punctuation and word spacing, try reading old Greek text or others of that era like that where they seem to not use spacings and punctuation in their text. We need them whether we read a text out load or silently. The internal punctuation gives you structure and also gives you a sense of "pausing" where the author wants such a thing to emphasize some word or portion of the text. The punctuation in the sentence change the meaning of the sentence just by changing, adding, removing, key internal punctuation marks. Of course over the 30+ years between high-school and the last college writing course, the standards and rules have changes on what is needed where and how best to use a comma or semicolon. But without these in the text of books that I personally like to read, it would not be as easy to read as it is now. As for which fonts are best to use where, well whole college courses and majors can be needed to make the "best guess" on the science of what fonts are best for what and which fonts are "more readable" than others. Book Publishers know what it best in the different types of books that publish. One font for text books, another for entertainment reading. The hard cover book fonts can be different than the paper back ones as well. There is a science involved in the choosing of the "proper" fonts. I just decide which looks best for me for ease of reading. I am told Serif fonts work the best for "entertainment" reading, but which serif font is the best, only you can decide which one in your fonts collection works best for you. . -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] Failed mail
It happened to me when one of my email hosting company's black listing services "lists" decided that the IP address of one of LO's servers was to be blacklisted. The IP address was blacklisted for a user 10 years before LO "bought" the IP address for the server. It could be that your email client picked up something similar. If one of their lists shows that one of LO's IP addresses should be blacklisted based upon previous "users" of that address, then most of your emails to the list will not get through. Also your service can reject receiving emails from our servers as well. You might want to contact your service and see if any IP addresses in your headers are in one their black lists they use. Maybe they can add LO back in a white list. On 08/17/2013 06:00 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) For some reason this post got blocked and had to be rescued by the moderators.

[libreoffice-users] Bibliography entry system and word/character counting
Hi, think that LO should have (a little bit) better bibliography entry system. Every thing works just fine, but I miss some features with thing I'm writing now. When I do Insert - Indexes an tables - Bibliography entry I can insert entry from the document or from Bibliography database. Thing is that the reference system I use require shortening of textnotes: Some text some text [author, year_of_publishing: page_of_citation], some text from the same author and the same book, just another page, so I should not enter authors name (short name from bibliography database), I should put word "ibid." instead [ibid: page]. Now I can't insert [ibid: page] as field or to relate it somehow with bibliography field inserted above. Since that kind of reference is not field, if I change something in my document, I need to hunt all these inserts and change it manually to [author, year: page] format because [ibid...] works only if the first reference before [ibid...] is from the same author and the same book. Think that feature should be added to LO: Insert - Indexes and tables - Bibliography entry and the dialog box should have some additional fields: check box and empty text box. Now, I should be able to choose a bibliography entry from bibliography database, then chose that new check box and enter the word I wont to display in document. Chosen bibliography entry from dialog box should be related to the word from text box. LO should connect [ibid:page] with [author, year: page] and display [ibid:page] only if right above Bibliography entry (as field) is the same one we connected earlier. If I change the document and remove above bibliography entry field, [ibid:page] should change to [author, year:page]. I'm forced to use [ibid: page] and I'm unable do it as fields - now I have to hunt down every manual [ibid:page] I make. Is there way to do this? Also, think it should not be a problem to add some additional information in the same place with word and character count. Think it would be nice if we had: Words (characters) [cards] | 1249 (7568) [4,204] Look here (well, I'm not writing in Serbian but idea of typography card stays the same): http://www.proz.com/forum/money_matters/126748-equivalent_of_characters_including_spaces_in_words.html#1047157 Now I have to open KCalc over and over again. Think that should not be very complicate to add?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail merge manual field entry
Hi :) I am not certain how to do this but it 'should' be fairly easy. it probably isn't but it should be. I am not sure if it makes a difference but do you happen to know the name of the back-end used by Salesforce? Is it MySql? There are some tutorials on using Base which might (or might not) help http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Base&language=English also a handbook https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Handbook and an FAQ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base Hopefully someone on this list can either help directly or pinpoint more specific links found through the above or from elsewhere.

Your problem is very similar to what I had some time ago with EPS files, so if it is, I'd suggest you to convert it to PNG, since the problems with vector graphics in latest releases of LO Impress are frequent (see, for example, this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62038 ), but there are usually no problems with PNG.

[libreoffice-users] Failed mail
I've been getting a *lot* of failed mail notifications from the mailing list over the last few weeks. After extensive investigation, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my mailbox or mail servers, so I'm curious, how many other people get this, either frequently or occasionally?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't find setting
To add to this discussion of readability of text, spacing and punctuation is only a small portion of it. In the read word punctuation taught us when to take a breath, as with a continuous sentence separated by a comma, and a long full breath after the period, plus a space. Now even as we type to each other in this email, we are using a sans serif font (for those not understanding serif and sans serif, sans serif fonts have no "leading" lines on the edge of the character). Sans serif fonts create a much harder font to read. It has been found that a serif font with normal punctuation and spacing leads the eye to faster reading as opposed to sans serif. Man tests have been done with this. So the article written in the provided link, is found to be hard to read as it is a sans serif font used. Regards Andrew Brown On 16/08/2013 11:08 PM, James Knott wrote: Michael wrote: 1) Although the article was difficult to read, I think it would have been easier on the eyes (mine, anyway) if there was more space between the sentences. This is my point exactly. When there's extra space between sentences, it's a lot easier to isolate the sentence from the surrounding text. You have to look for the period, which may be more difficult to see, depending on the letter it follows. For example a period following a "k" is harder to discern than one following a "o". This means the reader has to do extra work, while the eye is naturally equipped to recognize the extra space. So, the choice is search for the sentence or automagically recognize it. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] LO WRITER BASIC: insert an image, put a drawing-text on top and jump to next page
Hello Andrew,
Thanks for your reply. I'll take a look at your examples and will let
you know if I succeeded.
Just for your info I include my complete macro so you can take a look at
what I'm doing.
It's not completely working but most parts work, I can generate my
complete document with TOC and save it.
The database is a Postgresql-database that I registered in OO-base.
