Re: [libreoffice-users] My computer | Text off centre over-large

2013-09-02 Thread Errol Goetsch

Hi there Tricia, good to see you here.

The good fellows at Shaw|your computer store knew enough to load a 
substitute for MS Office that didn't cost you anything. They put you on 
the right road.
There isn't a number to phone and don't wait for a call because the 
price of LibreOffice - zero - doesn't pay for telephone lines.
You are working with a product created by people who work hard and smart 
and for free so that people like you and me can benefit.


Your email has arrived at an online community of fellow users, some of 
whom have lots of tech savvy, some also just use LibreOffice for email 
and writing books. No money changes hands. We have a few regulars who 
labor for love.
It's handy to consult FAQ's and previous discussions because a few have 
dealt with the special needs that authors have.


With regards to characters that are over large, is this confined to 
LibreOffice, or possibly a screen display setting? If LibreOffice, is 
everything over-large? Check the slide at the far bottom right of the 
status bar. If pulled to the right, that magnifies the screen. if just 
on the page, possibly text became headings, and you want to revert them 
to default or play around with styles. It's not always easy to describe 
(or answer) a problem when all you see are the symptoms, so taking a 
screenshot (Ctril - PrtSc) and saving it as a pic can show us what you 
are seeing.


It's not yet clear if you are dealing with a software bug or a user 
situation. Either way, you are welcome to ask more questions because we 
know that in time you will pay it forward.


regards
Errol

Dear Sir or Madam,

I bought my computer at the local store here in Ladysmith, B.C. in Canada.  The

I am an author and use your office to write my book.  I’m not a computer user 
for more than e-mails and my book.
I saved by book in two places as I usually do but when I turned on the computer 
to start a new chapter, the letters are not only off center but are also almost 
2 centimeters high.  In my format I have calibri font 12.

I was advised to e-mail you as they don’t have a phone number for you.  i 
didn’t use your “frequently asked questions” because it’s such a strange thing, 
I’m sure there won’t be a question about it.

The Shaw tech. support gave me this e-mail.  It’s all they have of your office.

Please correct this for me.  I have limited time. My phone number is 
250-245-0451.

Yours truly,

Re: [libreoffice-users] FYI - Trend Micro is blocking your LO 4.1.1 download page

2013-09-02 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)  

I don't know why Trend Micro would block our site when you use Firefox or 
Opera.  I've never heard of Trend Micro and wonder if it's a Microsoft tool 
or some other 3rd party that has a vested interest in locking you in to only 
buying products from themselves.  Perhaps they need people to pay a fee and 
register with them in order to be considered 'safe' in a similar way to the 
certificate system that MS use for their web-browser.  

If you were to copy any of our pages to your machine and then scan them then 
almost all anti-virus programs find them completely safe.  Similarly with our 
downloads.  1 person did report that Avira had a false positive but i think 
Avira have fixed that now.  


Thanks for letting us know about the issue as other people might consider it a 
blocker if their security gives a warning.  I'm passing your message (below) 
on to our Websites Team.  

Thanks and regards from 

Tom :)

Hi

I'm having some issues with LibreOffice 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 on Windows
8 64-bit (Swedish).

When I first try to install it, it complains that I need to stop
the Microsoft Windows Search Host Protocol after some searching
I was able to pause it for 15 minutes, since I don't really need
the search functionality on that computer I also stopped the
indexing on all places. After that I tried to install LibreOffice
again and it went through the installation process without any
more hassle.

Next problem, the program won't start! :(

Has anybody else seen this problem, or been able to install on
Windows 8 64-bit?

PS. Master build from yesterday won't start after installation
either, but 4.0.5 does work.

​Hej Niklas !

I've hitherto installed the Swedish-language version of LO 4.1.1.2 on 
four computers running 64-bit Windows 8, three of which are dual boots 
with Win7, on which I've also installed 4.1.1.2. I've encountered no 
problems, nor did I encounter any when I previously installed 4.1.0.4

Try this page.  See if it is blocked. 

IF it is not then there is something on the opening and download pages
that it does not like.

If it is blocked, then try the next page.  If it is still blocked, the
it may be LibreOffice's site's IP address that is being blocked.  It
that is the case then try the last address which is a different domain
entirely where you can pick up a copy of LibreOffice.

http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/

Direct download this page

The different site and domain, that should not be blocked.

Hi Patricia,
Unfortunately, there are several items in both LO and Windows that could be
causing the problem.

A good practice when requesting help from a list such as this one is to provide
as much information as possible and let the viewers/responders sift through
it.  This could include make/model of computer, type of display adapter (if
known), operating system and version, version of LO (or other app), what you
were doing at the time of an error/problem, and any other information that
seems pertinent.  It is often to also include copies of pertinent log files for
review.  Some of this is difficult for a non-technical person to determine but
provide what you are able and we will request more if needed (and tell you how
to get it).  Another worthwhile item to provide are screen shots depicting the
problem.

If you would provide as much of the above information we will try to respond
with helpful suggestions.  Actually, with the number of authors who use LO, you
might well find further information in the FAQs.

Tom

I assume that you have a Windows computer.  

Which version of LibreOffice do you have installed on your computer? 
3.6.7, 4.0.5, 4.1.1? or something else.



As for your computer company not knowing about LibreOffice, you can
always ask them why they have not kept up with the FOSS [Free and Open
Source Software] that gives their customer an option over buying
expensive alternatives.  Most local, regional, and large computer
company tech support people should be aware of FOSS and LibreOffice. 
Some might have heard of OpenOffice.org, which was predecessor to
LibreOffice and Apache Office.

Is the entire display, not just LibreOffice's window, affected by this
off center and text height issue?  If the entire displayed image on
the monitor it off-center or the wrong size, then it may be a
computer issue and not a LibreOffice issue.


At the bottom right of the LibreOffice screen/window, there is page
viewing option.  There is a set of small icons showing pages.  You
should use the left most icon or the middle one.  The rightmost one will
display two pages and if you have only one page, then it will be off
center to the right.  Then there is the slider.  This will zoom in and
out for viewing the page.  You can use the slider and adjust it to
100%.  You can use the top tool bar option of View, then Zoom, to adjust
the page view with some other options.

I would adjust the zoom and viewable page size to the best one for you
typing and editing needs. 



I thank you for remembering to save your book files in several
places.  Are you saving one set of book files on the internal drive
and another set onto an external USB hard drive, or a good quality USB
thumb-drive or flash drive?  I tend to save copies of my important
files, pictures, etc. several places.  I have several hard drives in my
system so I save a set on my default drive, then an internal backup
set on a different physical drive, and then at least one set on an
external USB hard drive.  Since my photo drive is over 70 GB of size, I
could also save the photos, by year, onto flash drives, and store them
in a box in my desk drawer.

Too many people do not keep a good set of backups for their data.  There
are even online services like Carbonite.com [or something like that]
that is unlimited storage for one computer for under $60 USD a year. 
That might be a good option for a writer as well.

-

Just to let you know, I know at least one author that used LibreOffice,
since its first release, to write his 2 to 4 books [paperback novels and
smaller] every year. 

This author is Piers Anthony.  He writes mostly SciFi and Fantasy books,
but some non-fiction once in a while.

He chose LibreOffice for its Macro ability.  He does use Linux though,
but he does have one Windows computer, he stated in an author's note.  I

Re: [libreoffice-users] print or pdf with spell check mark up?

2013-09-02 Thread Info/UX
Thanks for the thorough reply and the useful information about the 
spellchecker dictionaries,


There are use-cases for this request, I think. I'm sending articles I've 
formatted to editors who are likely to do a lot of the proofreading on a 
printed version. Sure they have access to a computer too and can see the 
spellcheck mark-up there, but scrolling through 50 pages articles with 
lots of endnotes is quite slow and having potential problems flagged on 
the printed version would speed up the process, I think. Also a teacher 
may return a printed essay to a student and it might be useful for the 
spelling mistakes to be highlighted.


One reason I ask about the possibility, is I seem to remember printing a 
document this way by accident years ago. I can't remember what software 
I was using back then. But reading up on it now, all the sources say 
it's not possible in LO or Word. Maybe I imagined it. :-)

As far as I know, the spell checking underline is part of the
software's display function of the text in its window display of your
document.

The spell checking red underlines cannot be exported or printed withing
the document into a document file that can be read by a package without
the spell checking feature or printed to paper.

The only way to capture those red lines is a screen capture software,
but that is not an editable document, and is only a small screen full of
you document.

Would you please tell us why you want such a document?

What use will you put such a saved or printed document with the red
lines included?

The only thing I could think of is showing some one else their spelling
mistakes.  Also, the words could be spelled correctly, but your spell
checker may not have the word[s] within the document.

Within the Extension site, you can find many dictionaries.  I created an
English dictionary add-on that has 797,865 words within its internal
word list.  I do not know any other English dictionary that is even
close to its size.  The file name is
kpp-american-english-dictionary-797865-words-list.oxt.  I would like
to see other dictionary .oxt fileauthors to include the size of their
word list totheir .oxt file name ora text based internal file.  That way
we could choose which dictionary to choose from when there are more than
one for the language of your choice.  Last time I counted, there was
over 200 .oxt file add ons for language aids and spell checkers.  Every
so often these dictionaries are improved and new words are added to
their word lists.

Re: [libreoffice-users] FYI - Trend Micro is blocking your LO 4.1.1 download page

2013-09-02 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Yes, i was able to find it by a google search but my point was that they are 
not particularly well known.  I'm sure everyone could probably reel off maybe 
half-dozen to a dozen names or more without even pausing for breath.  Probably 
4 would appear on nearly everyone's list but people's last few choices might 
vary.  I can't imagine more than 2 or 3 people would have Trend Micro on 
their list.  

Of course one disadvantage with using well-known security is that more people 
are more familiar with trying to break through it or disable it.  Also fame is 
not necessarily a good indicator of quality and i can think of a few excellent 
programs that never got the recognition they deserved.  

However when famous security program fails there are usually stories about it 
and people find out fairly quickly.  With something obscure, when it goes wrong 
there might never be any announcement anywhere, or they might have too few 
users and not even realise they have a problem

Hello Tom,

I've never heard of Trend Micro and wonder if it's a Microsoft tool
or some other 3rd party that has a vested interest in locking you in to
only buying products from themselves.

A quick internet search reveals that they're a UK firm selling security
software for private  business users.  I suspect their software is
giving a false positive.

Trend Micro's url, should you be interested, is
http://www.trendmicro.co.uk/

Hi :) Yes, i was able to find it by a google search but my point was 
that they are not particularly well known.  I'm sure everyone could 
probably reel off maybe half-dozen to a dozen names or more 
without even pausing for breath.  Probably 4 would appear on nearly 
everyone's list but people's last few choices might vary.  I can't 
imagine more than 2 or 3 people would have Trend Micro on their 
list. 


it is well-known to pc magazine; here is a recent review:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410155,00.asp

Rubenking does point out that Trend Micro doesn't participate in 
testing with all of the independent labs. Those that do test Trend 
Micro technology rate it good, not great.


it also made their best of the current crop of antivirus ware.

I don't do Windows and I've heard of it for yrs. I'd be wary of 
calling it 'obscure' but it is not among 'the best known'.


F.

Of course one disadvantage with using well-known security is that 
more people are more familiar with trying to break through it or 
disable it.  Also fame is not necessarily a good indicator of 
quality and i can think of a few excellent programs that never got 
the recognition they deserved. 


However when famous security program fails there are usually stories 
about it and people find out fairly quickly.  With something 
obscure, when it goes wrong there might never be any announcement 
anywhere, or they might have too few users and not even realise they 
have a problem
