Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder much better, but...

2013-10-16 Thread Heinrich Stoellinger

Hi Girvin,
I did also have the problem of horizontal lines not working. However, they do
appear correctly now under LO 4.1.2.3. My system is Linux-Mint-15, 32 bit.
But then - as I have mentioned before (and filed a bug report) - time-values
don't appear correctly both in Base as such and of course in report builder
as a consequence. Everything works o.k. when using JDBC (for the time being...)
It's a never-ending story!

Heinrich

You got the memory cells working again!! This morning I read-up on Sub

However my Form Navigator will NOT show me the content of my Form!! All 
it gives me is a list of types - Headings, Tables, Text Frames, 
Graphics, OLE Objects, Bookmarks, Sections, Hyperlinks, Indexes, 
References, Comments and Draw Objects. (all with a count of '0'). And 
none of the options at the top of the Navigator make any difference.


How do I get the Navigator to display the content of my Form??

Here is my current experience with LO 4.1.3.1 under Windows, using a 
physical US keyboard layout (so "left-parenthesis" is physically 
located at "shift+9" and "right-parenthesis" is located at 
"shift+zero"):

1_ Visual or Logical CTL settings don't affect the "displayed" 
result.

2_ With the alignment set to left-to-right (ctrl+shit+A in LO 
Writer):
2.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, OK
2.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, OK
2.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, parenthesis inverted: pressing 
shift+9 shows the parenthesis that is seen over the zero in the 
physical US keyboard, and vice versa.

3_ With the alignment set to right-to-left (ctrl+shit+D in LO 
Writer):
3.1_ keyboard layout set to US-English, parenthesis inverted.
3.2_ keyboard layout set to HE-English, parenthesis inverted.
3.3_ keyboard layout set to HE-HE, OK.

I am not sure which behavior should be exactly the "adequate" one, 
specially when I see that changing the CTL settings between "Visual" 
and "logical" doesn't seem to affect the result. In any case, this 
seems to be a bug and should be reported.

Regards,
Ady.

Re: [libreoffice-users] macro to search and replace from a table?

2013-10-16 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
How about just changing fonts?  Can you find or create a font?  Perhaps take an 
existing one and substitute in odd characters here or there?  

Are you thinking of doing a massive 1st letter in the first word of a new 
chapter, as they do in ancient manuscripts?  If so i think there is a fairly 
easy way to automate it in LibreOffice.

Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Editing a document (Writer)

2013-10-16 Thread botay...@telus.net
I am editing a text document and it is displaying it as three tiny pages 
instead of a single page or part thereof to edit.  My understanding is I have 
to 'unhide' my status bar so I can click some sort of icon that will put me 
back in text edit mode showing only the part of the page I am working on.  The 
problem is how to I turn on my status bar?  I checked all the other icons that 
I currently can see and none are the one described in the help online.  Also, I 
am older and am used to being able to phone in a question.  This is very 
frustrating that I had to spend over half an hour on this and get nowhere so, 
can you please provide a phone number ie. 1-800.  Thank you.

On the "View" menu, click "Status Bar" and the status bar should appear 
at the bottom of the window. You can do the same again if you want to 
hide it again later.


Alternatively, if I've understood the original problem correctly, you 
might be able to sort out the page view without needing the status 
bar... On the "View" menu, click "Zoom", then "100%" or "Entire Page" 
(or whatever setting suits you). The icons on the status bar are a quick 
way of accessing those features, so it may still be useful to unhide it.



I checked all the other icons that I currently can see and none are
the one described in the help online.  Also, I am older and am used to
being able to phone in a question.  This is very frustrating that I
had to spend over half an hour on this and get nowhere so, can you
please provide a phone number ie. 1-800.  Thank you.


LibreOffice is free software, with free support mainly provided for 
users by users via this mailing list. I believe there are companies 
which offer paid support for LibreOffice, presumably some with phone 
numbers, but I don't know specific details. Hopefully someone else on 
this list might be able to reply pointing you in the right direction.


I hope that helps (at least on the status bar...)

Try placing the cursor where you know there's an error, and go to:
- Format > Character > Font
Is a language selected from the "Language" drop-down list? Is there a 
tick next to that language?


If it doesn't have a language set, or if there is no dictionary is 
installed for the selected language (no tick) it won't be checking the 
spelling for at least that section of text.


Try:
- Tools > Language > For all Text > English (or any other language with 
a dictionary installed)
This will mark all text in the document to be checked in that language. 
Does the spell checker work then?


Using those menus, and Tools > Language > For Paragraph you can set 
different languages for different paragraphs or sections of text, which 
is useful if languages are mixed in one document.


Hope that helps.

Alex,
For the record, I am using the binary RPM I downloaded from the LO 
website.  So, I doubt this would be the problem. As I said, this is not 
a work-stopper for me, just a query (pun?) to see if anyone had a fix or 
work-around.  It should get fixed sooner or later.  I am primarily glad 
this version is running at a reasonable speed, unlike previous versions 
I tried to use and gave up for a 3rd-party report builder which had its 
own set of bugs.  That report builder also had problems with inserting 
lines - option in the menu, but did nothing. However, it did do report 
headers properly.


Thanks.

2013-10-16 Thread Girvin Herr

Heinrich,
Thanks for the heads-up on 4.1.2.3 lines working.  I plan to try 4.x 
when it gets to 4.1.5+.  I will try that Report Builder at that time.  I 
am currently using Slackware 14.0 Linux, 3.2.29 32-bit SMP kernel, MySQL 
5.5.29, mysql-connector-java-5.1.18, LO 3.6.7.2 and KDE 4.8.5.


I am aware of the talk on this forum regarding the time values.  I am 
using the MySQL Connector Java for my interface to my MySQL database, so 
I may not run into that problem, but I will look for it, since I do use 
times as well as dates.  There is also a migration to mariadb in the 
future for me.


Thanks again.
Girvin

button on the top icon-bar (tool-bar) that has a tiny picture of a printer on 
it.  There are 2 very similar buttons very close to each other.  If one looks 
like it is stuck pressed in then click on it again to unclick it.  If both 
buttons look the same (apart from one having a magnifying glass) then neither 
is pressed in.  


2.  You might have zoomed out that  far.  There are several ways to deal with 
that;  

a)  Go up to the "View" menu and change the factor to something more 
reasonable.  Try a  few different ones

b)  On the grey(ish) status-bar at the bottom of the window that contains the 
document on the far right is a little slider with a blob in the middle(ish) (or 
rather probably far off to one side right now but it should be in the middle 
normally).  Grab the blob with your mouse by pressing and holding the left 
mouse button in.  Drag the blob left and right until you have zoomed just about 
right.  Then let go of the mouse's left button

c)  Press and hold the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel backwards and 
forwards.  Stop rolling when the document is readable and then release the Ctrl 
key.  It's ok if you release things the other way around but just means the 
document scrolls up&down a bit.  


Errr, that's all i could think of!  Someone else might write in with other 
ideas or explain the same ones in different ways!  This type of support is more 
of a team game rather than just getting 1 persons opinion which might/might-not 
be right.  It does take a bit of getting used to.  


Good luck and regards from
 Tom :)

I am editing a text document and it is displaying it as three tiny pages 
instead of a single page or part thereof to edit.  My understanding is I have 
to 'unhide' my status bar so I can click some sort of icon that will put me 
back in text edit mode showing only the part of the page I am working on.  The 
problem is how to I turn on my status bar?  I checked all the other icons that 
I currently can see and none are the one described in the help online.  Also, I 
am older and am used to being able to phone in a question.  This is very 
frustrating that I had to spend over half an hour on this and get nowhere so, 
can you please provide a phone number ie. 1-800.  Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 4 - Crashes handling frames...

2013-10-16 Thread Christoph Mueller
Hello,

I just upgraded from LibreOffice 3.4 (I know, a bit late, but I am
conservative). LibreOffice 3.4 always was a reliable choice both for
writing books and other documents. However, it also sometimes
crashed But less often than MS...

Since years I am editing a small 8 page magazine written in two or three
columns and using pictures hooked up on the pages (not on the
paragraphs). In LibreOffice 3.4 I had to take care of occasional crashes
when handling the frames and pictures, but it worked.

Now, in the latest release 4.1.? (downloaded yesterday), its getting a
nightmare. No chance to finish the document. Permanent crashes. I only
can tell that it has to do with the frames.

Where can I download the latest 3.x version? I need to complete my work.

Best regards
Christoph Mueller.
