Re: [libreoffice-users] Remove Properties and Personal Information
2014-04-28 4:40 GMT+02:00 Joe B paperba...@gmail.com: I realize this is much more a Windows 7 problem than a LibreOffice problem, but so was my last question :) It's not a more W7 than LO problem, it's a W7 only problem...

Re: [libreoffice-users] List-reply issues... again
Actually the Reply-To: header is passed along by the list server and thus it is honored. The question is, What happens to posts that lack a Reply-To: header? I am also unsure whether multiple Reply-To: headers are supported by the eMail RFC. To implement my new procedure I added a Reply-To: address to the unique identity that I use for posts to this list. I believe that most mail clients support multiple identities each of which can default to a different combination of addressing headers (e.g. To:, CC:, BCC:, From:, and Reply-To: ). They also generally support a unique signature block for each identity (e.g. my amateur radio call sign or an account number at a business does not belong in signatures on this list but may be essential in some other eMail I send). It would be nice if all mailing lists adhered to a common standard in this but nice has nothing to with the world as it exists. It would eliminate a lot of misaddressed replies. The fact that there are so many posts to this list that begin with some variant of, oops I sent my reply to the wrong place, attests to the fact that this list is out of step with many other lists. Those who established the current policy had a reason so that's the way it is. I'm grudgingly accepting it. To the extent that solutions to problems are given, I would like to always see them shared on the list. Rants about how LO differs from MSO are indeed a problem. Maybe a list and wiki that are dedicated to the philosophy behind the differences between the open (LO, AOO, OOo, etc) and proprietary (MSO, KSO, etc.) office suites would take some of the pressure off of this list.

How might I modify this statement to include special permissions? Sorry, I can't help you further with the windows command line tools, as I don't use them very often. What you can try is to set the appropriate permissions on a file through the GUI, and then run icacls on it without arguments. This should show you the current file permissions per user, and can give you the info you need. As far as I remember, icacls is good to manage the generic access properties, but can also show information about extended metadata, which might be what you need there. -- 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

probably the parameters are undocumented for a reason, very

Are you saying that what I'm doing should be called an extraction or that option /a makes it an extraction? I think somebody stated that if extracted rather than installed, the new version would NOT be invoked by double clicking a document (e.g. pizzalog.ods). It will tell you that the files are to be _extracted_ to a net work drive. There you get the option to choose the destination, in your case drive D. It is correct, that this does not add any registry entries to provide call by doubleclick. But you can change that later. First you need to get this extraction and then we will help you with the next steps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Remove Properties and Personal Information
Joe B wrote: Hello list, I am having difficulty getting the Remove Properties and Personal Information link to work on the PropertiesDetails tab for a specific file that I would like to remove all personal information from When I click this link, I get a pop up box that that has two radio buttons. One radio button is: Create a copy with all possible properties removed. I selected that one and clicked OK. Then another box pops up that says You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Joe-PC\Joe to make changes to this file. I click Try again and eventually it fails and says: Not all personal properties were cleared. Windows was unable to remove properties from the new copies of the selected files. Before sharing these files, you should review them for unwanted personal information. I realize this is much more a Windows 7 problem than a LibreOffice problem, but so was my last question :) What I've tried so far: 1.PropertiesSecurity tabEdit. Be careful arbitrarily messing about with the permissions. Adding more Allow permissions should be fairly safe, but if you start removing permissions or setting Deny permissions, you can end up making it difficult to regain access to the files! If that happens, taking ownership should be able to sort it out, although I'm not sure even that would help if you've explicitly denied yourself permission to set the file's permissions... In the box for Group or user names, I select Joe(Joe-PC\Joe). In the box below, Permissions for Joe, all items are checked as Allow, except for Special permissions. Special Permissions is an indication in that basic settings dialog that a combination of options has been selected in the advanced dialog which doesn't correspond to any of the other basic options (Full control, Modify, etc.) Since you have all permissions, this corresponds to Full control and is not a special combination. I click the Edit button. A new window pops up with just the Security tab showing. The top box shows Group or user names. I select Joe(Joe-PC\Joe). The bottom box below says Permissions for Joe. All of the permissions have a check box in the Allow column. Additionally, all of the allow check boxes are grayed out. Only the Deny checkboxes are check-able. The Special Permissions box is the only box that does not have a check in either Allow or Deny. Both of the Special Permissions boxes are grayed out. They're greyed out because the permissions are inherited from a higher-level folder. You can't remove the Allow permissions, but you can explicitly select to Deny them (don't do that unless you know what you're doing!) So my question boils down to, How do I get the Special Permissions box in the Security tab to be check-able? Special Permissions is not explicitly selectable, because it indicates an arbitrary combination of advanced options. 2. PropertiesSecurity tabAdvanced. In the Security tab, there is text at the bottom that says For special permissions or advanced settings, click Advanced. I click the Advanced button. A new windows pups up Advanced Security Settings for File foo.bar. On the Permissions tab, there is a box for Permission entries. There are 3 entries: SYSTEM, Administrators(Joe-PC\Administrators), Joe(Joe-PC\Joe). The Permission for all three is Full Control. Here you have finer-grained control of the permissions. Selecting, for example, Read in the basic settings corresponds to List folder..., Read attributes, Read extended attributes and Read permissions in this advanced settings dialog. If you were to select only, say, Read permissions here and go back to the basic permissions dialog, you'd find that Special permissions is selected (and greyed out since it doesn't correspond to a specific combination of options to be added/removed). Of course, if you're looking at inherited permissions here they'll be greyed out as above. It's probably best not to remove the option to include inheritable permissions, unless you know what you're doing and need to do that for some reason. It would seem to me that if I have Full Control permission, then the Special Permission check box should be check-able (not grayed out), but it's not check-able, and it is grayed out. What am I missing? Hopefully the above explanations help. Windows' help (accessed by clicking links in the lower left of the dialogs) seems quite good when it comes to explaining the permissions, and how the basic options map onto combinations of the advanced options. Or at least it is on Windows Vista; I'd hope it's at least as good in 7. Thank you so much for your help Joe I hope that helps clarify. Similar options exist in Windows XP, but most home users aren't aware of them because they create all users as administrators who can access everything. The various combinations of permissions can get quite complicated, particularly when it comes to inheritance and deny permissions,

[libreoffice-users] left/right pages
In the last few days, anytime I create a new LO Writer document it is formatted with left and right pages. And some of my past documents are formatted that way as well. I would like to return all my documents to single page format, but have been unsuccessful in discovering how to do this. Could it be related to a document which I created a while back with two columns? Though it does in fact have 2 columns, I discovered that it is identified as having only 1 column in the page format window (format page columns). Any help resolving either of these issues will be greatly appreciated. -- 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

And some of my past documents are formatted that way as well. I would like to return all my documents to single page format, but have been unsuccessful in discovering how to do this. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. If you print something double-sided - as LibreOffice expects - every document will necessarily have left pages and right pages. Do you mean that alternate pages are formatted in some different way? In that case, it might be helpful to know what this is. But in any case, it's difficult to imagine how a page formatting change could modify existing documents, as you suggest. I wonder whether you are merely describing the way that Writer displays your documents whilst you are editing them. If this is your problem, go to View | Zoom... . There are various settings there and you can experiment to find what suits you. You can also adjust these settings in a number of ways using controls at the right end of the Status Bar (at the bottom of the LibreOffice window). If, as it seems, you changed something inadvertently, it may be that you clicked on one of these controls in the Status Bar. Changes to the way you view documents do indeed stick for your installation of LibreOffice (or rather your use of it); I'm not sure whether they can affect the way you see existing documents. Note that there are similar but separate controls for how you view documents in Page Preview mode. Could it be related to a document which I created a while back with two columns? Very probably not. Though it does in fact have 2 columns, I discovered that it is identified as having only 1 column in the page format window (format page columns). If the page format you see has only one column but the document genuinely prints with two columns, there are a number of explanations: o The pages with two columns have a different page style from the one you checked. (Documents can have multiple page styles.) o The material in columns is contained in a section, a structure which can independently have multiple columns. o The material in columns is contained in a table. o The columns were constructed in some other way, perhaps in frames. I trust this helps.
