Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Help with Base report
Hello Noel, I think the 'right' approach must be to 'patch' the height of the box and, thereupon, the height of the detail section at the loading of each record. I suspect there must be some way of accessing those attributes which is documented somewhere. I suppose the slightly more difficult bit might be to find the right way to calculate how high the box should be to accommodate the (in my case) concatenated text string.

But this has the effect of the report lines being effectively double spaced, except for just a few long lines. It also uses twice as much paper, if the report is printed. So I wrote a macro that creates a second record to accommodate the overflow text. It is a bit tricky getting the second record to sort after the appropriate first record, but I have succeeded in getting it to work. I haven't attempted to modify the report's text box height dynamically - that I think would be quite tricky!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Nikolai Cassanova: Hi, I am having problems with OLE objects in microsoft word documents
Hi :) Another way of following Regina's route is to; 1. make a copy of the file 2. rename the file-ending from .docX (or from .odt) to .zip 3. double click on the zip-file 4. look in the likely-looking folders until you find the object 5. drag that out of the document To fully follow her route you might 6. delete the object from the zip-file 7. rename the .zip to .docx (or .odt) 8. open the file with LibreOffice and carry on with her 2nd-to-last paragraph (create a link to the object and then delete the remaining broken-object Once you have done that sort of thing once or twice you realise that you don't really have to rename at all. Just a right-click allows you to open with Some OSes make it easier. It's toughest in Windows because Windows tries to hide the file-ending. On Windows you might need to tweak your machine a bit to make it easier and i only know how to do that on Xp. It's probably possible on Win7 and Win8 but if i get into anything like this i reboot into Ubuntu or something to avoid faffing around.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - can't open table in asp page
Hi :) I think open 2 bug-reports? One for the case where Calc is open and the other for when it isn't. I have a feeling that there are 2 separate problems there. One is that LibreOffice needs to be recognised by Win7 as the default app for opening documents. There might be additional problems there depending on the specific coding for the specific button. If the button's coding specifies Excel then that is going to be a tad difficult for our devs to solve unless given permission (and incentive) to work on the 3rd party button. The other is the slow-down leading to an open Calc becoming greyed-out. That sounds like something our devs might be able to work on and might possibly fall within our remit and therefore probably not require additional incentives. You are clearly talking about some sort of company with all this. Do you have your own developer(s)? If so could they work with devs fom other organisations (and volunteers) under TDF's umbrella to fix this 1 (or 2) tasks?

Re: [libreoffice-users] compatibility with Topaz signature pads
Hi :) I've never even seen a Topaz signature device. The closest we usually get is to print our a document, sign it, scan it back in as Pdf!!! NOT very efficient! My route would be to scan in just my own and the crucial other signatures as png images and then place them in the relevant documents. However, i suspect that even if all parties were happy with it then it still might count as fraud. A blatant photocopy might be more acceptable! We have odd laws in the Uk. For example if you tape-record a phone conversation then the recording is NOT admissible in court and might even land you in trouble if you hadn't asked the person's permission to record them. What IS admissible is if you take the recording and write down what you think they said. So, what is admissible is more likely to contain errors or fabrications!!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Just joined the list- users having trouble with gnome panels when using LibreOffice
Greetings, I have been reading this thread, but since I do not use Ubuntu, I have no direct experience to add to this discussion. However, I may make one suggestion: check the age of your video card and computer. I use Slackware Linux and I have had KDE4 (QT-based) and xfce (GTK-based) desktop stability problems for the last 3 or 4 Slackware releases. My computer and its ATI Radeon AGP video card were over 10 years old. I recently upgraded my computer to 2-year old technology and used an ATI 4350 PCI Express video card and the stability problems went away. I suspect that the Linux devs no longer have access to the old hardware (AGP in this case) and do not test the new code with it. Therefore, it is a crap shot for new Linux versions to fully function with old hardware. As a footnote: After the upgrade, I took the old computer and went from 1GB to 3GB of RAM, but that alone did not solve the desktop stability problems. Switching from the old ATI AGP to an even older Nvidia AGP I had lying around, and switching from the default nouveau driver, because it would not find the old card, to the nv driver, got the old system working stably again. But it is a bailing wire approach and is destined to fail in the future. HTH. Girvin Herr On 01/22/2014 09:02 PM, Tony Godshall wrote: 10.04 LTS is lucid.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Just joined the list- users having trouble with gnome panels when using LibreOffice
I may have forgotten to mention that I have OpenOffice 4.0.x and LibreOffice 4.1.x on the same computers. That may me an issue, I'm thinking now. I've set up a couple of users as a test case- one with OpenOffice 4.0.x only, and one with LibreOffice 4.1.x only. And I also should have mentioned that the source of the programs is from openoffice.org and libreoffice.org, from the tar.gz of deb files, installed with dpkg -i without complaints. WRT using another distro, yes, I am looking into that. Like I said, Cinnamon and Mate (Mint) gave us troubles WRT stability. Cinnamon especially was crashing every couple of days on a user with lots of windows. XFCE Desktop is one I've been using myself as primary for a while- it seems solid, so we might go with that, though it'll look different and have menus in different places. In particular, the Debian wheezy XFCE has been very solid for me on various laptops, running from USB3 stick, etc. , so I'm thinking I may try a couple of people on that once I've got a clean replicable install that has most of the expected icons in the right places..

Ideal would be if you could try out both for yourself on your own machine or a machine you use to test-drive stuff before rolling it out to all machines.

Apparently it really helps if you can also have a normal-user act as guinea-pig for each case to see how well 4.0.6 or AOO cope with normal daily usage for a day or so. Ideal candidates are 1. people who always struggle with any system. The extra attention from you might result in them picking up useful tipstricks about unrelated issues. 2. people who are technically quite competent. They may be able to help-out neighbouring colleagues with sundry issues later People in between the extremes can be useful but just not quite so much.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Just joined the list- users having trouble with gnome panels when using LibreOffice
Thanks for the comments. Yes, Ubuntu seems especially aggressive with out with the old mentality in spite of having released named Long Term Support. No, the boxes are not old- they are Dell Zino, Zotac, and Asus boxes purchased within the three, two, and one year, approximately, respectively. They are AMD64 low-power APU devices with integrated Radeon. My impression is that Debian has a much better record with regards to preventing regression, so I'm probably going to test with them. I probably won't be switching to anything that's not dpkg-based unless there's a compelling reason- it would mess with too many scripts.

I was hoping that there was a way to select the several price cells and then click on something. The people using Calc will probably never have seen a spreadsheet before.

Have labels at the top of each column such as Buyer and Price. Once you're ready to get your totals by buyer 1) sort by buyer as you intend 2) select the entire data range including the column labels 3) from the menu select Data | Subtotals... 4) in the Subtotals dialog box make sure the Group by option is Buyer 5) tick the Price check box in the Calculate subtotals for list 6) confirm Sum is the selected function in the Use function list 7) click the OK button You'll be back to your spreadsheet with subtotals for each Buyer inserted. Plus to the left of the row numbers you'll see outline features that allow hiding and showing the various subtotaled rows. -Alan -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Nikolai Cassanova: Hi, I am having problems with OLE objects in microsoft word documents
Hi :) Yes, Windows file manager = a file-browser In Ubuntu you can right-click on the .odt or .docX and choose Open with ... and then choose Archive manager, or the other Archive option.

That is a feature of Windows 7. Is it possible to unpack a .docx file using the ubuntu archive program that unpacks tar.gz file formats? Also libreoffice doesn't allow me to remove it. Thats the problem if I could remove it I would just put it on my desktop and then open it with vlc player. Yes, it is a normal PK .zip format.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Just joined the list- users having trouble with gnome panels when using LibreOffice
Hi :) Debian has a reputation for being old and long-in-the-tooth by the time it releases anything doesn't it? I'm not sure if it's a fair rep. There are tons of Ubuntu spin-offs or 'clones'. Does Xfce have it's menus and toolbar at the bottom of the screen by default? If so it might not be such a bad leap because many office workers probably have a Windows machine at home or some passing familiarity with it. To install LibreOffice, OpenOffice etc alongside each other does require a bit of trickery. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Did the crashes usually happen when both were open at the same time as each other? The Quickstarter counts as having one open. Regards from Tom :) On 23 January 2014 22:44, Tony Godshall t...@of.net wrote: Thanks for the comments. Yes, Ubuntu seems especially aggressive with out with the old mentality in spite of having released named Long Term Support. No, the boxes are not old- they are Dell Zino, Zotac, and Asus boxes purchased within the three, two, and one year, approximately, respectively. They are AMD64 low-power APU devices with integrated Radeon. My impression is that Debian has a much better record with regards to preventing regression, so I'm probably going to test with them. I probably won't be switching to anything that's not dpkg-based unless there's a compelling reason- it would mess with too many scripts.

However, I may make one suggestion: check the age of your video card and computer. I use Slackware Linux and I have had KDE4 (QT-based) and xfce (GTK-based) desktop stability problems for the last 3 or 4 Slackware releases. My computer and its ATI Radeon AGP video card were over 10 years old. I recently upgraded my computer to 2-year old technology and used an ATI 4350 PCI Express video card and the stability problems went away. I suspect that the Linux devs no longer have access to the old hardware (AGP in this case) and do not test the new code with it. Therefore, it is a crap shot for new Linux versions to fully function with old hardware. As a footnote: After the upgrade, I took the old computer and went from 1GB to 3GB of RAM, but that alone did not solve the desktop stability problems. Switching from the old ATI AGP to an even older Nvidia AGP I had lying around, and switching from the default nouveau driver, because it would not find the old card, to the nv driver, got the old system working stably again. But it is a bailing wire approach and is destined to fail in the future. HTH. Girvin Herr On 01/22/2014 09:02 PM, Tony Godshall wrote: 10.04 LTS is lucid. We never went to gnome 3 since it broke too many workflows. We looked at cinnamon and mate and they made our workstations unstable. It's weird that an application could disrupt the ui as much as we're seeing. Our users are used to their workstations staying up for months and installing libre office has been much more disruptive than a simple application install should have been.

I'm trying to confirm other issues- users have reported it's happens more when using toolbar things like color background of cell to yellow. I've confirmed panels going away and panels going transparent. Some users have figured out that they can choose Log Out and then just cancel and get their environment back. Clicking Log Out is a challenge but doable when the panel disappears- tooltips show where the buttons are. I've also found out that I can ssh in, su - to the user, kill gnome-panel, and then relaunch it, and that also restores their desktop to function. Tony, This is Gnome 2 on Maverick? I am not sure if anyone here knows enough about gnome-panel to answer you.
