[libreoffice-users] Copy & paste -> extra space
Hello everybody I noticed that when I copy & paste single words or phrases, that MOST - but not ALL - times an additional space is added before the pasted word/phrase. Let's say, I type an opening quotation mark and then copy some text immediately after it. Even though I selected precisely one word without any spaces, after pasting there is ALMOST ALWAYS an extra space in front of it. (Sometimes not, but I was not yet able to figure out why and under which conditions this happens.) In the example above: " test ..." Then I have to go back and delete that extra space manually. Very annoying! Is there a way to change this behavior?

Oooops, sorry you forgot to backup that file somehow. I am rebuilding a desktop back after the primary drive failed and I did not have 1 to 2 weeks of work on the backups, and "certain" config files were missed in the backup "process". The drive died the day I was scheduled to backup the work for that week or so. Now I have a new drive, double the size, but still working on getting all of those bits and pieces of packages and utility configuration back to where it should be. And this is precisely why backups should always be *automated*. -- 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

Which one should also test on a regular basis, at least I know I should but I don't, at least not often enough.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Open Office - off topic - removing bullets toolbar
Hi :) Oh, i just dragged the toolbar onto the end of one that is always there. So when the toolbar appears it is "docked" safely out of the way instead of just somewhere in the middle of the document. I've done something similar with most of the toolbars that pop-up.

This may depend on your version of OpenOffice, but try this: o Wait until the Bullets and Numbering toolbar appears. o Don't close it using the "X" close button; instead go to View | Toolbars > | Bullets and Numbering to remove the tick. You should find that the toolbar will no longer appear automatically. I trust this helps.

Very annoying! I imagine that this is by design: if you paste multiple single words, for example, they will be separated by spaces (and thus easier to handle) instead of being concatenated. Typically, pasting words is most commonly used to insert a word into a sentence - when spaces would be welcome. Is there a way to change this behavior? Yes: as so often, Paste Special is your friend! Use Edit | Paste Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste. In the Paste Special dialogue, select either "Unformatted text" or "Formatted text [RTF]" (if you want to retain formatting). Incidentally, I wondered why I hadn't encountered this problem, and I see I was probably using what would be another workaround in your example. You are likely to need a closing quotation mark after your word or phrase, of course. If you type this immediately after the opening quotation mark and only then paste in the word, you appear not to get any unhelpful extra spaces. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] EMail mailmerge - does it work?
Hi Fabian, I started using mail merge using OpenOffice approximately 10 years ago using base and writer. As I recall, I set up the writer label forms without using the wizard. There were several minor issues I dealt with back then, but since then it has worked perfectly. I do have Java installed. Once LibreOffice was released, I moved from OpenOffice to LibreOffice. If you are having problems with it working, perhaps folks on this list can help you getting it working if you describe the issues.

[libreoffice-users] Macro from command line: ThisComponent.CurrentController not found
Hello! I have a macro which I want to be executed whenever a Writer document is being converted to a PDF. So I wrote my macro and assigned it to the appropriate event. And it works. At least, from within a running GUI-Session. If I try to do the conversion via command line, I get this error message: <- snip -> BASIC runtime error. Property or method not found: CurrentController <- snap -> The command I use to invoke LibreOffice is: <- snip -> lowriter --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export test.odt <- snap -> It is later planned to have it run in headless mode on a machine with no X server, but I removed those options to get an error message. I assume that in this mode, there is no "CurrentController" (because there is no Writer window?) and hence, the error. But what can I do about it? Create one myself? How?
