[libreoffice-users] problem adding image to .rtf file
Hi, if i put a little .jlp image on any of my new file, the dimension incredibly grow. (i.e. a file with no text, and one image of 15 KB became 800 K :-( ) I work on: -win XP - Libreoffice 4.1.6 (i'm downloading 4.2.4) any Idea?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Macros [or perhaps not] in Libre Calc
Hi :)
That might be a better route!
The database route might be better if the wide-eyed-end-users were going to
enter the data directly onto a computer such as a hand-held device or
tablet or something. Sadly LIbreOffice does not yet work on hand-held
devices but AndrOO does but i'm not sure if the Base component is included.
So the weeus might have to use a desktop machine for it.
I didn't quite follow Brian's instructions but that might be because i've
got a fever and only read it hastily. Writer does sound like a good module
to use. I'm guessing that each module would have different advantages.
I had a quick stab at doing this in Calc but just on a single worksheet to
try to take advantage of the auto-increment feature but it didn't work well
when there was a gap between the dates. Using multiple sheets didn't seem
likely to work either.
I also had a quick go at creating a copy of the file, renaming the
file-ending to zip and then editing the "contents.xml". It kinda worked
with minimal info on each page but i could imagine it become hideously
turgid with even a little more information on the pages.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] problem adding image to .rtf file
Hi ) Have you tried using the native Odf format instead? The Rtf format is a Microsoft proprietary format that never seemed to manage to achieve it's promises of interoperability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format#Criticism Apparently it even led to MS losing a court-case! MS then started to abandon the format and their newer format, OOXML, started to appear. OOXML makes all the same promises, apparently with a similar level of lack of success but with a bit more care taken to avoid being taken to court. Throughout it's history Rtf has been plagued by malware issues although lack of uptake has minimised the effects; https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2953095 https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2953095 http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/more-malware-embedded-in-rtfs/ http://trojansvirusremoval.com/category/rtf/ https://threatpost.com/tool-scans-rtf-files-spreading-malware-targeted-attacks-091412/77014 http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Microsoft-Words-RTF-Bug-Targeted-by-Malware-160117/ http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/e-mail/285498-rtf-malware-appears-in-the-wild http://www.mcafee.com/apps/search/threat.aspx?q=rtf®ion=us&v=malware It seems it's best to avoid Rtf.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't get leading zeros in Calc
> OK an update: The original spreadsheet is an export of a .XLS file from a Foxbase database on a Windows machine. Based on what I got I thought the data were stored as 4 digit numbers but in the database they are really 6 or more text characters. I needed to get it into an SQLite Database on an Android tablet via LibreOffice on a Macintosh. I do that by converting the .XLS to a .CSV file in LibreOffice. Once I have a good .CSV file I create update statements for the SQLite database by giving it the table name, primary key and update values. When I bring the data in to LibreOffice it assumes they are numbers and then the various issues with the leading zeros. I need the leading zeros because the linkages of a record to another record in the database on the final update require the leading zeros. Once the data are in SQLite then that file is put on the Android tablet. Data are added and modified via the Android system. Then I need to take the data out of the Android, into the Mac. I just move the entire SQLite Database to the Mac. Then I create an export file in .CSV format from the SQLite Database via a customized Query. That file then goes to the person with Windows machine. They run an import process on the file to bring in the new records, link them as appropriate and then those incorporate the changes into the Foxbase database. On the Foxbase system the data are stored as text strings but because they are all digits when it gets imported to LibreOffice they get interpreted as numbers. That's why I couldn't get the adding back of the leading zeros to work at all. And the transfers back and forth resulted in all the linkages being broken. The system is a sheep registration system talking to my own sheep management system. The links are from a new lamb to its parents based on registration number so it has to be correct. What has finally worked is the following workflow: Get .XLS file from the Windows computer. Get someone on a Windows machine to save that file as a .CSV on the Windows machine. When I do the import of the .CSV file into LibreOffice instead of allowing Standard on the import set the required fields to be text. That preserves the leading zeros that already exist in the file from the Foxbase system. Create my update statements for the SQLite Database per normal, run them, move the database to the Android, collect the data as required and then move the database back to the Mac.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro's in Libre Calc
Hi :)
Ahh, i hadn't tried this either and this makes much more sense to me.
So it looks like there are many ways of dodging the need for a macro and
that helps keep the document flexible for the future.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Error 1304
Hi :) Sorry you haven't had any responses earlier! The error message appears to be a Windows one, from a quick google search but i got responses for Macs too. Can you empty the wastebin on your machine, go into your emailing system and empty the wastebin there too? Rebooting your machine is often a good way of fixing most problems. Is your hard-drive pretty full? If it's Windows and it's not just a full hard-drive then it's quite complicated to fix and might need to be taken to a computer repair shop It is generally best to let people know what platform, or even be more specific and let them/us know which Operating System. ie telling us you're using Win7 is very informative but just telling us you are using Windows is sometimes enough because the Windows version of LO is slightly different from the version that runs on everything else. You can usually find the version number of a program by going up to the menu's and click on Help - About and that might give clues about which OS or just platform although it's not always easy to work out. Sometimes you can copy&paste the text from those things, but not always. keyboard short-cuts are; Ctrl c = copy Ctrl v = paste Regards from Tom :) On 9 June 2014 16:37, julien2412 wrote: > Hello, > > Which platform (Windows, MacOs, Linux)? > Which LO version? > > Julien > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Error-1304-tp4111738p4111885.html > Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > -- > 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 > > -- 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

If anyone has any other suggestions for possible solutions, I would be grateful. A couple of thoughts... Some printer information seems to be saved in the document. I find that if the document is saved after printing, and the same printer is still available next time you print it, that one is selected by default. If the printer has been removed, or the document is opened on a different system where that printer doesn't exist, it probably selects the system default. Some applications remember the last printer you used, and select it by default regardless of the system default. I think Firefox does that. Don't know if LibreOffice does.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Default printer issues in Writer
Sorry about that, this system is Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit. Mark- I sent the end user an email to have them test printing then saving to see if that keeps the settings, so I will let you know if that helps or not. I know that we have tried printing and closing/re-opening the files, and it seemed to keep the printer settings for a few minutes then revert. I don't believe we ever hit save before closing though, so hopefully that will help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Default printer issues in Writer
Is the user printing via Ctrl-P (or the menu equivalent) or by clicking on the shortcut icon? I've never seen the shortcut use anything other than the Windows default printer, but the long way does revert to the last printer chosen.

I know that we have tried printing and closing/re-opening the files, and it seemed to keep the printer settings for a few minutes then revert. I don't believe we ever hit save before closing though, so hopefully that will help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Default printer issues in Writer

I have tried a number of things including reinstalling LibreOffice and reinstalling the printer. Initially, reinstalling the printer resolved the issue for about a day, but then the issue showed up again, and reinstalling the printer didn’t fix it a second time. If anyone has any other suggestions for possible solutions, I would be grateful. A couple of thoughts... Some printer information seems to be saved in the document. I find that if the document is saved after printing, and the same printer is still available next time you print it, that one is selected by default. If the printer has been removed, or the document is opened on a different system where that printer doesn't exist, it probably selects the system default. Some applications remember the last printer you used, and select it by default regardless of the system default. I think Firefox does that. Don't know if LibreOffice does. Mark. Also, in options>load/save there is a tick box "Load Printer settings with the document".
