Re: [libreoffice-users] Gray boxes on copy paste from browser

Background info: I'm a moderator for a writers workshop forum and we

When I copy/paste from chrome into writer I end up with small gray 
boxes (one space height/width) scattered through my document.


The most obvious possibility is that these are non-breaking 
spaces.  You will know that HTML requires browsers to conflate 
consecutive whitespace characters into a single space.  Where 
necessary, this can be prevented by the use of the HTML non-breaking 
space character, nbsp;.  In addition (and as its name suggests), the 
character can be used to prevent consecutive words splitting across a 
line break.


The same concept exists in word processors (see Insert | Formatting 
Mark  | Non-breaking space) and the Paste function is giving you 
like for like - honouring the HTML source code and not just the 
appearance of the web page in your browser.


To get rid of them I must either delete each one or paste to textpad 
and then back which of course loses all formatting.


In fact, you don't need to get rid of them.  If you want to preserve 
the spacing that they represent, ignore them and proceed.  They will 
show up - well, *not* show up, in fact! - just as spaces would in 
your final PDF document.  (There is one difference: non-breaking 
spaces do not expand as do ordinary ones in Justified text.)  If you 
do wish to remove or replace them (with the consequent change to the 
document formatting), you can search for them in the normal 
way.  Select one of the characters before you open the Find  Replace 
dialogue and you will find it helpfully inserted for you in the 
Search for box.  If you just find the grey appearance troublesome, 
you could replace them with ordinary spaces - but proper document 
formatting might be better.


I've also tried firefox and copy/pasting from other forums/pages. 
I've even opened an emailed doc where the sender copied from a 
browser and the boxes still show up.


As you will now understand, this is because the web pages and word 
processor documents contain such special characters and the Paste 
function is honouring them faithfully.


I hope someone can help as I'm stumped and will have to return to 
open office as this is a time sink. :(


Surely OpenOffice behaves identically in this respect?  Or have I 
misunderstood the whole problem?


I trust this helps.

What exactly do you mean with save as read-only?


In windows: After the file is saved to some folder, go to that folder and
right-click (if you're right-handed) on the file name; choose Properties
and check off read only on the popup panel. SOP


So when you later unchecked read-only and reopened the file you 
changed the Windows file-system--level property again.  But how did you 
reopen the file, was it still open and did you chose Reload, or was it 
no longer open in LibreOffice in between?  Because, when a file is not 
marked as read-only at the file-system--level, it should not open as 
read-only in LibreOffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HOW CAN I CONVERT A NUMBER IN LibreOffice CALC TO TEXT IN LibreOffice CALC?

2014-02-21 Thread Paul
I think the formula you want is TEXT.

I'm not too sure on the format parameter to this function, haven't
checked that, but for me a format string of #.## worked fine for a
number with a decimal place. You should be able to find further details
of the format string in the help or online.

So, for example, I put the number 1234.5 in cell A1, then in cell B1
I put the formula '=TEXT(A1,#.##)', and now cell B1 holds the text
string 1234.5.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HOW CAN I CONVERT A NUMBER IN LibreOffice CALC TO TEXT IN LibreOffice CALC?

2014-02-21 Thread Paul
Hi Dennis,

What format will the numbers themselves be entered in?

In addition to TEXT you can also use the DOLLAR function, which
will use your localization information to format the number as text
string with a currency symbol, thousands separator and decimal places.
To use the TEXT function, you can use a format string of $#,#.## to
get those things as well.

I know of no way to get the number written out as words, at least not
with stock Calc.

This question (see URL [1]) on ask.libreoffice.org discusses
this, and three possible solutions are given:

* This add-on (see URL [2]), but it seems that it is no longer
  maintained, and may not work for the latest versions of LO. I haven't
  tried it, so you'll have to see for yourself.
* There is also mention of this Microsoft article that gives some macro
  code for Excel (see URL [3]), which presumably could be converted to
  work with Calc.
* Some code is also given, presumably for LO Basic, but it seems to be
  for Indian currency. This could probably also be converted to your
  currency of choice.

[1]http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1194/convert-numbers-to-english-words/
[2]http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/numbertext-1
[3]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213360

So in short there seems to be no easy way of doing this. You might find
that the extension works for you, or you might have to write a macro to
do this, using one of the two examples as a starting point.

Hope this helped.

2014-02-21 Thread C

Hi there!

You can convert a number in text if you place an apostrophe sign before 
your number (e.g. '123). Also, you can select desired cells and then use 
Format menuCellsNumbers tabCategoryText OK.

2014-02-21 Thread MR ZenWiz
I'll have to get back to you on that when I get home tonight.  Our
company firewall is having access problems through the download links:

Error: Gateway Timeout
Time: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:16:47 PST
Your Source IP: 128.222.234.115
External Host: mirrors.syringanetworks.net

I have redacted our company identifiers.  It could also be a problem
with the mirror's security - we're kind of tight on that.

This used to work - I routinely download the updates at work, but
yesterday this happened here and last night I could not connect from
home, either.

Thanks.

 consecutive whitespace characters into a single space.  Where 
 necessary, this can be prevented by the use of the HTML non-breaking 
 space character, nbsp;.  In addition (and as its name suggests), the 
 character can be used to prevent consecutive words splitting across a 
 line break.
 
 The same concept exists in word processors (see Insert | Formatting 
 Mark  | Non-breaking space) and the Paste function is giving you 
 like for like - honouring the HTML source code and not just the 
 appearance of the web page in your browser.
 
To get rid of them I must either delete each one or paste to textpad 
and then back which of course loses all formatting.
 
 In fact, you don't need to get rid of them.  If you want to preserve 
 the spacing that they represent, ignore them and proceed.  They will 
 show up - well, *not* show up, in fact! - just as spaces would in 
 your final PDF document.  (There is one difference: non-breaking 
 spaces do not expand as do ordinary ones in Justified text.)  If you 
 do wish to remove or replace them (with the consequent change to the 
 document formatting), you can search for them in the normal 
 way.  Select one of the characters before you open the Find  Replace 
 dialogue and you will find it helpfully inserted for you in the 
 Search for box.  If you just find the grey appearance troublesome, 
 you could replace them with ordinary spaces - but proper document 
 formatting might be better.
 
I've also tried firefox and copy/pasting from other forums/pages. 
I've even opened an emailed doc where the sender copied from a 
browser and the boxes still show up.
 
 As you will now understand, this is because the web pages and word 
 processor documents contain such special characters and the Paste 
 function is honouring them faithfully.
 
I hope someone can help as I'm stumped and will have to return to 
open office as this is a time sink. :(
 
 Surely OpenOffice behaves identically in this respect?  Or have I 
 misunderstood the whole problem?
 
 I trust this helps.
 
 Brian Barker


This did help. Thank you. I'd tried a few things before, don't remember what
and nothing helped. It would even export the gray boxes to the pdf. Maybe it
was different vrs of the different programs that have helped at this later
date. BTW Open office does the same thing NOW but on my old computer it
didn't which is what threw me off. 

Anyway, I can live with doing a search/replace. So simple a solution, I
guess I was thinking too complex in my other troubleshooting. Thanks for the
help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: read-only problem

2014-02-21 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I think a few of us have found that files do become read-only without
us being really clear exactly why.  We just work-around it rather than
hunt down specific causes and those work-arounds often result in
creating a back-up of the file so it's a bonus rather than a problem.

I hadn't realised it might be worth posting a bug-report but maybe now
might encourage people to do so if they encounter the problem in the
future.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

 What exactly do you mean with save as read-only?


 In windows: After the file is saved to some folder, go to that folder and
 right-click (if you're right-handed) on the file name; choose Properties
 and check off read only on the popup panel. SOP


 So when you later unchecked read-only and reopened the file you changed
 the Windows file-system--level property again.  But how did you reopen the
 file, was it still open and did you chose Reload, or was it no longer open
 in LibreOffice in between?  Because, when a file is not marked as read-only
 at the file-system--level, it should not open as read-only in LibreOffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HOW CAN I CONVERT A NUMBER IN LibreOffice CALC TO TEXT IN LibreOffice CALC?

2014-02-21 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
It's an unusual problem that looks a lot like a fairly frequently
asked question.  Your question has an extra twist which we didn't
notice earlier.

I am not sure if there is an easy way to convert numbers to words.  ie
2,000 to Two thousand

So far people have been talking about how to make the numbers look
like numbers still but just be unable to perform calculations using
them.  It's good for telephone numbers, zip-codes and that sort of
thing.

There might be an Extension (what other people call Add-ons or
Plug-ins) to do that in LibreOffice itself or there might be a
separate app (or program) that can do this outside of LibreOffice.
Our Extensions page is here;
http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/
Most are written by 3rd parties but some are very popular.  There are
also Extensions written for OpenOffice which might still work with LO
or it might be easy to contact their devs to ask them if they could
update it for LO.

Sorry this isn't very helpful!
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

 You can convert a number in text if you place an apostrophe sign before your

[libreoffice-users] Application of Speadsheet

2014-02-21 Thread Pikov Andropov
At my wife's church auction, they are going to use a spreadsheet (as
long suffering readers already know :-)).

Attendees' names and paddle numbers will be entered at the start of
the auction.

The second phase is the entry of purchased item codes, winning bid
amounts and paddle numbers of winners.

Third phase is checkout. I was thinking of copying the spreadsheet as it
existed after phase 2 to a second laptop so that people could checkout
with last-names-A-through-M going to laptop 1 and N-Z, to laptop 2.

1. Does that make more sense than dividing them by paddle number?

2. When it's all over, how do I combine the two spreadsheets??

Thanks.

you can only go up to about 96.  I have tried putting in a larger number

Hi

Nice try Paul
I've never used pivit tables so didn't know they could produce that, which
as you say may be a sufficient workaround, I could use it and it gives the
closest result to what I want I've tried. But really the more I think about
it the more I know a simple text file will be the easiest to maintain and
for the users to use.
I'm still toying with the database idea, but in truth that would be more to
satisfy my own urge to relearn and tinker.

Thanks for looking at it

 This could be ideal, as it could allow multiple people to edit at

with simulated activity, because it could lock up on you -- or at least

lock one person out while the other is making edits.  If you do it, you

should probably have a backups on notebooks to use if Google
spreadsheet 
locks up on you.


  With luck, someone else will tell us how to merge spreadsheets.  
I've also merged spreadsheets with a lot of manual work, sorting the
two 
on the same key, then copying the two into the same sheet, then 
inserting blank rows in each as needed to match everything.  To avoid 
that, I usually use R (www.r-project.org) to merge spreadsheets.  
However, if you don't know R, you probably don't want to learn just for

Hi,

In all versions of LO I've used, including 4.2.1.1 now, if you highlight 
the number in the box showing the font size, say for example 12, then 
type in the size, say 400, you want and press enter, it will change to 
that size. I use it where I want numbers or letters to be about 4 inches 
tall. I general change the page layout to landscape for numbers/letters 
that size. I've never had a problem. You don't get many on an 8.5 x 11'

 Berlin, February 20, 2014 - The Document Foundation announces
 LibreOffice 4.2.1, three weeks after the availability of LibreOffice
 4.2. The first minor release - based on a shorter cycle than expected -
 solves over 100 problems, introduced by the larger than usual code
 refactoring of the LibreOffice 4.2 family. Changelog is available here:
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.2.1/RC1.

 LibreOffice 4.2 was extremely ambitious, in terms of code refactoring.
 Because of this, we planned an extensive quality assurance cycle, based
 on automated tests followed by QA sprints in December and January, but
 we were not able to catch all the issues, says Thorsten Behrens,
 Chairman of The Document Foundation. Based on early adopters feedback,
 developers and QA experts have jumped in immediately, and have solved
 the most urgent problems in less than three weeks, showing the
 importance of our large community.

 LibreOffice 4.2.1 and LibreOffice 4.1.5 will be on stage at CeBIT in
 Hannover from March 10 to March 14 (Hall 6, Booth H14). In addition,
 Florian Effenberger and Italo Vignoli will speak about LibreOffice at
 the Open Source Conference.

 Download LibreOffice

 LibreOffice 4.2.1 is immediately available for download from the
 following link: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/.

 LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can
 support The Document Foundation with a donation at
 http://donate.libreoffice.org. Money collected will be used to grow the
 infrastructure, and support marketing activities to increase the
 awareness of the project, both at global and local level.
