[libreoffice-users] Re: Second opening of Database
Hi, Which Java version do you use (1.6, 1.7), 32 or 64 bits? I would advise Java 1.7 and 32 bits version is mandatory since LO is 32 bits in Windows. (there are some working to implement 64 bits version) Also, did you install any LO extensions? Finally for the test, could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows) and try again.

Hi, You should give a try to a newer LO version (last one is 4.1.3). Even if there's a bug in 3.6 (which one precisely), 2 possibilites: 1) perhaps it's already fixed in a newer version 2) if not, there won't be any new official TDF LO 3.6 version anyway You must know that including a lot of images in a document give some problems to LO. There are already some bugs about this. However, if the problem is still there on 4.1.3, it would be interesting you submit a bug here: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ and attach the file so QA team can try to reproduce the problem.

[libreoffice-users] Problems Rotating Multi-line Text in Tables [Revisited]
I'm using Writer Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a on 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. There are numerous postings about this, but no responses that provide a reasonable solution, so if anyone thinks this should be listed as a bug, be my guest. I'll revisit the issue below: I have a large Writer document that’s in “normal” (i.e. portrait) orientation, but have many “landscape” illustrations to include; my objective is to place them – rotated – on the pages where they appear, with captions also rotated so they are easy to read when the book is rotated to look at these illustrations. For each such illustration, I’ve created a table with two rows and two columns. The bottom row and the right column are narrower than their counterparts. In this table I’ve placed an image of a document (which is in another language, by the way) in the top left cell and, since it is a landscape image itself, have rotated it so that it can be read by turning the page. In the top right cell of the table (bottom right when rotated), I’ve placed a one line description of the image; using character attributes I’ve also rotated this description ninety degrees so that it is easy to read with the page rotated. In the bottom left cell (which is, of course the top left cell when it is rotated for viewing), I wanted to place a series of lines (i.e. paragraphs) with translations of the key elements in the image. I have done this in earlier documents using MS-Word, but there doesn’t seem to be any way of accomplishing this in Writer. The key here is that there are multiple paragraphs in the cell. If I use character styles, all of the lines/paragraphs are run together and, actually are placed in the opposite order. No amount of fiddling seems to cure this. If I format the cell by setting Table Format | Text Flow | Text Orientation to Vertical, this does exactly what I want to do EXCEPT that the text is “Upside Down” when the page is rotated, and I can’t seem to locate any means for reversing the vertical direction. Since I can’t believe that Word can do this easily but Libre apparently can’t do it at all, I suspect I’m just looking in all the wrong places, so can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? The previous postings about this seem to indicate that this is a common issue, but the solutions (e.g. create a landscape page and set up new headers and footers and such), while accomplishing the objective, just strike me as far too complex to be useful (I have a lot of these illustrations). So, should this be considered a bug or perhaps an enhancement request or has someone come up with a better approach?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Help request
Hi :) I got the thanks off-list but thought it worth letting others know it had been solved. Since it was the format then it might be possible to recover the images. * DocX often reorganises images to lay on top of each other so try moving any existing images to see if another one or few is hidden under * DocX often moves images to other pages or tries to hide them off either side or top or bottom of the page A slightly more complicated recovery technique that can be used with Odt or DocX 1. create a copy of the file 2. change the file-ending from DocX to .zip 3. double-click to open as an archive 4. find the folder called something like images and drag the images out of there to a useful folder on your machine I'm glad we didn't have to go that far this time though :) Regards from Tom :) On 8 December 2013 13:40, rncorr...@sapo.pt wrote: Yes, it was the saving format! Thanks a lot. Thanks to other people who sent hints, as well. Regards, Rui Quoting Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com: HI :) Ok, can you untick the one under that, the autosave every 15mins? Just remember to save your document quite frequently instead of letting it force you to do so at inconvenient moments. It's not a good idea to use MS formats by default, or at all (if you can avoid it). The worst MS formats are the more recent ones. It's better to keep your originals in ODF formats as they are native to a greater range of Office Suites and programs so the format is more stable, reliable and longer lasting. If you have to share with other people that might need to edit your documents then use File - Save As ... to save in the older MS formats. The ones that were used in MS Office 2003 and earlier. The 2007, 2010, 2013, 365 format keeps changing with each of their new releases and it can't handle images as well as LibreOffice/OpenOffice can.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Problems Rotating Multi-line Text in Tables [Revisited]
Thanks for the tip Brian. What you suggest works, although it certainly isn't a particularly efficient method of working. It seems, however, that it is the only workable method of accomplishing what I'm trying to do so I guess I'll have to live with it. I do have Word loaded in a Windoze virtual machine, but I hate firing that up unless absolutely necessary. In BUG#34436, someone suggested using Shift+Enter, which seemed like an easier thing to do while in the course of attempting to write, but the text entered in that fashion is always centered, and I tried everything I could think of to get it left justified to no avail. So no dice. Even so, I don't understand why the Enter key would need to be shifted for this. With the text being entered via the text object in the drawing bar (as you suggest), the other drawback is that I can't easily match the styles in the other part of the document - i.e. the formatting capabilities are a little primitive. I guess this part hasn't been well integrated into the overall scheme of things (perhaps that's why it works, since there's obviously some quirk somewhere). One of the developers (maybe?) made a comment in the aforementioned bug discussions that, since there is a work-around (a statement I find to be something of a stretch given the effort involved), there was no need to work on this. I've been retired for a while, but if this were a commercial enterprise, I would certainly question that, since the symptoms have all the earmarks of a lurking (and possibly simple) code error that will eventually cause other problems - and perhaps already does. Sorry for the rant (I was hoping to get some work done today since there's no Bears game), and thanks for responding.
