Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base: MySQL or Mariadb ?
Hi, MariaDB is compatible with MySQL, the MySQL connectors, and MySQL API and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL. I have connected to MariaDB using the LO provided MySQL connector on earlier versions of LO. I have not done so with 4.1.X yet.

[libreoffice-users] Calc/Writer - Default for Font Colour button now a brown colour - bug or feature?
Problem occured in both Calc and Writer in both version 4.0.4.2 and 4.1.4.2. On program start-up the Font Colour button on the toolbar is set to a muddy brown colour. In the past is has been set to Automatic on program start up (which works much better for me) From 4.0.1.2: I have the same issue when I open Writer. Oweng suggested posting here to ask: Does anyone have views on whether this is a bug or a feature. Or is there a setting I've inadvertently changed that I can change back?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Export PDF
Two other ways 1 - Try FileExport choose PDF for the format Then work with the options to see what works for you. 2- Use an external PDF printer doPDF for Windows [free] CUPS-PDF for Linux. Those PDF printers have some good things and bad things. CUPS-PDF will only print as Portrait so Landscape is viewed sideways. IT is meant to keep the paper/image as it would be as a physical printer, which is Portrait paper feeding. SO if Export to PDF is causing problems, then try #1 and if that does not help, add the external PDF printers. Works for me. My default printer on Ubuntu is CUPS_PDF and on Windows is doPDF.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: help with VLOOKUP
The first problem I see is that your lookup value -- in this case the ID number -- has to be the first column in the lookup array. Using your specific example, the VLOOKUP function would be used in column E of Sheet 2. If you were wanting to also copy the price from Sheet 1 (which you've said you're not), you would need another VLOOKUP in Column F. This can be set up in advance, but you'll need to use an exact lookup unless you know you exact lookup range ahead of time (in which case you don't need to worry about searching an empty area). I know this didn't answer all your questions, but others will chime in. Dave On 2/10/2014 12:03, Pikov Andropov wrote: Something is not working for me. Hope someone can help.

Instead, use directly one of the four tools just below to setup the text along the line you drew. You should achieve what you're looking for. Jean-Francois Tried that and somehow I'm missing something important. I draw a line using the Freeform Line tool from the Draw toolbar. I then use the text tool from the Draw toolbar to enter text. When I enter the text the Fontwork window opens. I then choose one of the 4 tools you suggest and the text follows the contour of the text box. The line is totally ignored. If I select the line the Fontworks tool is grayed out and unavailable. This takes me back to the same problem as I had initially, how do I get the text to be associated with the line. Writer will not let me select both the text box and the line at the same time. Could you give me a detailed step by step what works on your system? Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: help with VLOOKUP
OK, the item that you want to look up to return the price or name needs to be in both spreadsheets (otherwise you won't find a match!). IF (big IF here) the ID# and item code are the same for each item, then this could be done as follows: Database looks like this: Sheet 1: ID NamePrice ID 1 Shirt 6 1 2 Pants 5 2 3 Hat 3 3 4 Gloves 2 4 Sheet 2: CodeDescription Min. Bid 3 ;lkajsdfk ;aljsdf 2 3 ;lkjdf 2 4 ;akldjf ;laksf ;alskdfj 1 2 oisel 3 1 ;lakjsdf4 1 woe 4 4 ldklw 1 (Gibberish was intentional. I didn't want to bother with actual descriptions.) In this case, take the code you're given (3 in the first line, sheet 2) and look up the value in sheet 1 (in this case it would be Hat). To do this: Sheet 2, add the following column in D: =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1.$A$1:$D$5,2,0) copy and paste this formula as far down the sheet as you need to. Note the dollar symbol is needed to create a static reference to the array that you are looking at for the lookup. Otherwise it starts at the row you're looking at and goes down from there, meaning eventually you'll almost certainly NOT find a match. The lookup value (A2 in the first cell of D2) will change for each row the formula is pasted into. Final sheet 2 would look like this: CodeDescription Min. BidItem Name 3 ;lkajsdfk ;aljsdf 2 Hat 3 ;lkjdf 2 Hat 4 ;akldjf ;laksf ;alskdfj 1 Gloves 2 oisel 3 Pants 1 ;lakjsdf4 Shirt 1 woe 4 Shirt 4 ldklw 1 Gloves In Column D, you would see the item name returned, but the actual contents of that column would be the formula above, with the first part after the vlookup (A2) changing with each row from A2 to A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8. What this does is looks up whatever is in A1 and returns the name based on what it matches for ID in sheet 1. Read carefully and I think you'll eventually get it. It can be confusing, but it makes sense if you're careful to follow the logic. Now, after the 7 lines of sample data above, I copied and pasted the vlookup formula into the rest of Column D (as far as you think you need to go). That's the setup. After that, when a number (from 1-4 for the item ID in sheet 1) is typed into column A, an item name is returned in Column D. I typed a bunch of numbers into Column A to illustrate below. See: CodeDescription Min. BidItem Name 3 ;lkajsdfk ;aljsdf 2 Hat 3 ;lkjdf 2 Hat 4 ;akldjf ;laksf ;alskdfj 1 Gloves 2 oisel 3 Pants 1 ;lakjsdf4 Shirt 1 woe 4 Shirt 4 ldklw 1 Gloves 3 Hat 4 Gloves 4 Gloves 4 Gloves 1 Shirt 1 Shirt 2 Pants 2 Pants 2 Pants #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A Note that the #N/A values in Column D are columns for which no code has been entered yet. The formula can't return a value since there's nothing in the lookup column A. Also note that we didn't try to lookup the Description for Column B (that data doesn't exist in Sheet 1 so it wouldn't work anyway). We also didn't try to look up the price (column C of sheet 1) but could have done that with a new lookup formula in a column E in sheet 2. I hope this makes sense. I can send you the sample I created (or post to Nabble if I can get the time to do this...). Let me know if you want me to send you the sample file directly (I won't do so until I hear from you). If others want to see it too, let me know and I'll just post to Nabble (I don't think I have an account yet, but will figure it out).

Using your specific example, the VLOOKUP function would be used in column E of Sheet 2. If you were wanting to also copy the price from Sheet 1 (which you've said you're not), you would need another VLOOKUP in Column F. This can be set up in advance, but you'll need to use an exact lookup unless you know you exact lookup range ahead of time (in which case you don't need to worry about searching an empty area).

That is why having a backup copy option and a auto save for recovery is needed. I think every time you open or save the document, you might get a backup copy [or maybe not]. You will have to check the documentation to know for sure. I have had a few system crashes, yes for both Windows and Linux, where the auto-save saved a lot of work from being retype in. Having a back copy of important files for each level of changes may be as important to many as it is to have a backup of all of your files [i.e. an external set of backup drives].

Re: [libreoffice-users] Part of File is Missing
Hi :) I've no idea why it happened. I don't think anyone else has reported anything similar yet. Generally it's worth keeping back-ups whatever program you are using. I tend to add a version number to the end of files and occasionally increase that number so that i can always go back to an earlier version (just in case i stuff up or need something from an earlier version). I try to keep it simple so i get file-names such as Diwali-Poster-2013-v1 Diwali-Poster-2013-v2 Also i tend to keep artwork, logos, and old versions in a sub-folder near the document jic everything goes horribly wrong. Occasionally i go through and just delete all those sub-folders (sometimes quickly checking through them first jic there is something interesting lurking away in there (but my OS makes that really easy)) Tim (Kracked Press) idea of doing such frequent saves and back-ups doesn't suit me at all! If i set the option it's for around 20-30 mins or even longer but usually i try to switch that off and just remember to do my own frequent saves. We are all different though and what suits me doesn't suit everyone! Diversity breeds serendipity.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Part of File is Missing
Hi :) Which format was the file saved in? Do you know if it's .docX, .doc or .Odt? Can you upload the file to Nabble? (errr, is it confidential such as containing people's names and addresses (in which case DONT post it!)) http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/ Find the correct thread, reply to any message and notice the buttons above where you are supposed to type. The More button allows you to upload file and that injects a bit of html code into the message. You can move the html code around a bit if you like and even edit it if you know html already. Usually the default way it does it is good enough so it's worth keeping as is. Do you have a back-up copy somewhere, perhaps an auto-backup? Is the file saved on a local network and accessed on the local Win7 machine? Do you have another version, perhaps a slightly earlier version on a usb-stick or emailed to someone/yourself, on a Cd/dvd or up on Facebook or CLoud or somewhere? What happens if you try to select all the apparently non-existant text? Is it just the font colour changed to match the background?

If you want really small and efficient pdf, do the following : Menu Tools Options Fonts and add these 3 substitutions (even if you don't have these fonts installed on your PC): Arial Helvetica Courier New Courier Times Times New Roman and check « Allways » in front of each substitution. This way you will use the always included 35 Type1 Adobe fonts that every pdf reader provides and uses. True, Times is not Times New Roman but closely related. You can do, of course, the sames substitutions with the equivalent Liberation fonts too, so Liberation Sans Helvetica... etc. The Type1 fonts to use are Helvetica, Courier and Times. Try to create a pdf with these substitutions on and with substitutions off, you'll be surprised how small your pdf can be when the ttf fonts are not embeded. Don't forget that the substitutions are not possible if you embed the ODF document in the pdf (hybrid pdf) because all fonts are then embedded. This is another option that should appear by default, with the « always » choice unchecked but visible to give the user a real choice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Part of File is Missing
Hi everyone FYI Details of recovery of a previous version of a single file from Restore Points or Windows Backup in Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/previous-versions-files-faq#1TC=windows-7 I realise this may not solve your problem - I'm hoping others can help recover the newest version of your file.

I've not explored it yet. (Had no idea it existed tbh) The Windows-wide restore should only affect programs but should leave files and data untouched. of course what should be and what is are often different but i've never had a problem with it the few times i've used it.

From: Carole Edwards Caruso caro...@stny.rr.com Date: Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 12:16 PM Subject: [libreoffice-users] Part of File is Missing To: users@global.libreoffice.org I had a 26 page file of 61 KB. I saved the file. When I went to open it again, the first page was blank, the second page was there, and the third page was a blank. Nothing more was there. My computer shows that the file is still there and is 61KB. Is the file hiding somewhere? Is there anything I can do to recover it? I am using Libreoffice ver. 4.1.4.2 and Windows 7-64bit. Thanks.
