Re: [libreoffice-users] spell checker
Hi :) Try this and let us know what happens. Open one of the ones it doesn't work for and go to Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids and have a look in the top 2 boxes to make sure the settings look sensible, The main one is top of the top box, make sure the spell checker is ticked. It might be interesting to compare what is different about the ones the spell-checker does work for, Not just in the settings but also is it certain formats, such as maybe some MS Word documents don't work but it seems like native ODF ones do?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cooperation in the implementation of LibreOffice
Hi :) No worries! It was good to hear from you and also good to get a chuckle on a day which is otherwise quite depressing or annoying for a lot of people. Plus, i had been taking the initial post wy too seriously before you pointed out 'the obvious'. Then, to cheer myself up further, i looked for BolgenOS. Apparently the story has moved on. It started years ago with a Russian school-kid forking Ubuntu and replacing all the logos with his own one, allegedly including for 3rd party apps such as Firefox (although i can't quite believe that bit and you'll see why). When he presented it to his IT Tutor as all his own work (which i also have trouble believing but lets not mess-up the story!) the tutor really believed the kid had really knocked Microsquish for six. The national news covered the story with a mini-documentary about how this kid had apparently knocked-up something that rivalled MS Windows and further exaggerated it that he'd done it over a couple weeks holiday, or maybe just a weekend! Then the national school board 'looked into it' and got so excited about it that they were allegedly keen to roll it out across all schools across the nation after first test-driving it in a few districts. Apparently BolgenOS continues but now admits to being a fork and has put the relevant logos back. There are some claims that the community has reached around 10 million people but having looked at the site i find that hard to believe. The main thing is that it seems to still be supported and has followers. When my mum went to college she was set an assignment to write a short ditty for music classes. Suddenly a short refrain popped into her head that she couldn't recognise it from anywhere so she wrote it down quickly and handed it in and got a B + for it. Later the teacher played it and my mum was shocked to hear it was Beethoven's 5th, well maybe not that one as it's the number 1 most easily recognisable piece and even says it's own name over and over again in the music, but something along those lines. My mum went a bit red but none of the other music students recognised it and neither did the teacher!!! The bit i find most amusing is that the music teacher thought Beethoven (or whoever) was only worthy of a B+. Obviously a LOT of people were upset about the BolgenOS story but for me the most upsetting part was that 1. an IT Tutor had no idea about non-MS OSes. Even if he/she was a more generic science teacher i'd have hoped for a little less ignorance! That national news put the work into filming a mini-documentary but failed to do any kind of research into trying to find similar examples is no surprise. There ARE a lot of good journos out there but sensationalism seems more profitable most of the time. 2. That the school-boards might flee back to MS to avoid the embarrassment rather than latch onto the stronger OSes that have better support-structures. Of course the Russian and other space-programmes are largely built on unix and unix-based platforms, certainly for their commandcontrol critical systems. Amusingly on the space station they occasionally have to send up someone to fix all the astronaughts/cosmonaughts laptops and free them from viruses, malware etc. Apparently at least once all the laptops went down due to malware. However none of the commandcontrol systems have needed as much as a reboot in all the decades they have been up there. There was some talk of the laptops going over to Linux too but i dunno if it ever happened.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Trying to get possible bug info
Hi :) We all get all messages to the list so you can respond to more than 1 person in a single post. If you are specifically talking to just one person in 1 paragraph and then another in the next you could use @ signs, for example @Tom blah, blah @Jay blah de blah @Everyone blah I don't know why we don't do that sort of thing on this mailing list but i've seen it a lot in other projects. I gather that gwibber or twitter or something uses something similar for their main addresses so it might get confusing for some people. Maybe that's why i haven't seen it here much. Until my recent move to GMail i would only see 1 message at a time so i would reply to each individual one. It's taking me a looong while to get used to the much more sophisticated approach of threaded mailings but its' helped me cut down on traffic quite a lot! Since you are running into problems with the old spreadsheet might it be worth considering 1. starting a fresh new one and then 2. copypaste or import by Csv only the data you really need access to most often and 3. keeping the old file as an archive to refer to. I found that when moving from 3.3.x branch to 3.4, and again from somewhere around 3.4.x to the next ones, sometimes weird little hitches happened that were smoothed out by starting afresh. Maybe it's because so many forks of LibreOffice merged at around that time because i've not found similar issues with any upgrades since then. Of course it could have been just my imagination or unfamiliarity with LibreOffice because i hadn't used it much before the forking. With Excel i found that spreadsheets over around 5 sheets tended to become a but unwieldy (people couldn't cope with the tabs disappearing under the scroll-bar or having the scroll-bar so short) so i would either break them up (the spreadsheets, not the people) or convert them to databases depending on which seemed more appropriate and/or easier. So there are 2 good(ish) and probably many other good reasons for breaking up the spreadsheet but doubtless there are many good reasons to keep all your data together! So it's just a suggestion that might well not be possible.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pasting Foreign Language
Hi :) From a quick off-list chat it seems the fault is some weird clash with the 3rd party application that is being copied from. Apparently if the text is first pasted into GEdit or some other intermediary app (such as email client) and then pasted into LibreOffice it all works fine. So i would hazard a guess that there is some weird formatting marks or tags involved. So, to dodge needing another 3rd party app and to get it down to a single step maybe try Ctrl Shift v rather than just Ctrl v to paste and then select paste as unformatted text. The shift key makes the paste into Paste Special which is prolly in the menus somewhere but it's usually easier to use the keyboard combination. Actually a LOT of times when i paste into LibreOffice i use the unformatted text option, particularly when copying from documents in MS formats because otherwise all sorts of weird nasties seem to come along for the ride.

I'm making computations with NUMERIC(30, 2) I've a query (let's name it query1) that do some computation on numeric columns something like: SELECT SUM(c1 * c2 / c3) as s1 , SUM(c4 * c5 / c6) as s2 FROM table1 GROUP BY c0; This query actually returns several rows that have the precision I need. Then I've query as: SELECT SUM(s1 * s1) as ss1 from query1; SELECT SUM(s2) as ss2 from query1; And they return result in scientific notation with just 2 decimal visible 6,23E+015 When I try to do further computations with ss1 and ss2 I get 0 with NO decimal digits. When I import query1 in localc and do the sum and squaring and further computation there I can get the precision I need. I've been playing around with column definition, increasing decimal point in numerics and nothing changed. I couldn't see the number of decimals increase in any step of my computation. It seems related to: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/rounding-off-number-results-in-Base-td4056773.html that's pretty an old problem and I couldn't find any workaround. This looks pretty critical I'm running: Version: 4.1.4.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) in sid -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.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
