[libreoffice-users] Is version 4.1.6.2 insecure?

Secunia has a paywall. Macros are a well know security hole in all office suites. They potentially allow arbitrary code to be run on an end users computer when the file is opened. For older MS office suites, the default was to run all macros when the file is opened. Recent (after 2005 or so) the default behavior was changed to only allow trusted macros the privilege of being allowed to run. I do not know how common this was with other office programs/suites of the same vintage. I believe LO has always used the model of the trusted macro only being granted privileges by default. Under TOOLSOPTIONSLibreOffice/Security click on Macro Security. Set the security level to high or very high. This will restrict macros from running unless they trusted. This setting works for any macros. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.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
Re: [libreoffice-users] which version has the best legacy importing?
OK everyone, I received the USB floppy from China, today. The files are .sig which might be something like Printshop or other software that was out there in October 2005 when the files were made. There is a cover.sig, p1 - p13.sig, and a toc.sig file names. Right now I have them on my Linux desktop, but will need some conversion or viewer for Ubuntu/Mint or Windows 7. Any ideas?

It's also kinda inevitable that people have ended up with files in formats that can't be read anymore. It's one of the main reasons for the need for a big push for greater use of Open formats. I find it hilarious that the Senate decided their library was going to be all in Rtf format as the one that would finally allow all their files to be readable by anyone on any machine with any relevant program forever. It's what MS promised for the format despite all the 'accidental' troubles that format had. The Senate is far from being the only organisation so easily fooled by MS.

I remember that LO was reducing the number of import filters for those old file formats, but I may need one of them. I have been asked to copy files off a floppy drive and convert the files to be able to work with the current tech. Right now, I have to find a working floppy drive to access the disc. Right now, the only system with a floppy drive has a non-working drive, I have to replace it. My main system does not even have a cable port for a floppy drive, and it seems all of the others I have opened up are the same. So, as soon as I get a working floppy drive working, I will need to get support for 1990's to early 2000's era word processing formats. The way she remembers, she did not use Word, but may have used Works or some other older package that are before MSO .doc format became the standard format before FOSS office packages came out. Any idea which older version of LO would be the best to try? As I have stated, as soon as I get a working floppy drive installed, then I will know which legacy format I need to work with. It would be nice to know which version of LO to install for the conversion to the modern formats - MSO's and ODF. I could actually point you to the latest version of LibreOffice (the 4.2.5) as the project keeps on creating new filters for these old formats. As for recommending anything older than the currently supported versions (4.1.6 and 4.2.5), it is just unwise to do this and we do not do it anyway: there are some major security holes left unpatched, and anyway the old versions are no longer supported. To which I should add that the 4.3.0 will be released by the end of July. Best, I would be doing the work, then removing the older version in favor of the newer ones. Hope to download the current versions of LO, again, and all of the info I was working on. I lost my list of which versions supported which formats, and will have to look into that again, with a drive failure. Interesting that I read a while back on the lists that some of the older legacy formats were not going to be supported anymore. I have no problem with using the current version[s] of LO, if it would work with the file format. Once I get a working floppy drive setup to read it. I know that the drive is bad, since it cannot read/write/format/etc. the blank floppies I have. I may opt for a USB floppy drive, instead of trying to get the 12+ year old system to use a parts box floppy drive. I had one for an old laptop [XP era] but it dropped and stopped working. Will work on that. Just recovered from a 2-TB drive failure for a drive that was 10 months old. Have backups for my large drives, but lost some work between backups and had some backup file corrupted as the drive was failing the night of the backup process. New drive in and old drive going to be replaced via warranty and used as another spare/backup drive. I tend to replace drives after 2 years of use and keep the old ones offline for USB backups or system spares. Never had a new one die in only 10 months.

[libreoffice-users] Question about viewing cell formulas in Writer
Hi! I'm using LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux (64-bit) and I created an OpenDocument with a table that has a few cells with formulas. The formulas are simple in nature (basic math) but I would like to see the formula of any given cell at any given time. I've found if I hover the mouse over a cell in the last row of the table, the formula appears as a tool-tip. However, if I hover over another cell in a row in the middle of the table, the formula doesn't appear. Is there a way I can see the formula in any given cell in a table in Writer? Thanks in advance!

Re: [libreoffice-users] which version has the best legacy importing?
A quick Google search indicates that your suggestion of PrintShop may be close to the mark. It seems that the files are probably image files and not word-processing files.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Is version 4.1.6.2 insecure?
It might be related to this: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2014-0247/ In this regard, it might be insecure because a macro can get executed even if the user settings should prevent it to happen. Regarding the insecure aspect, well... macro are a programming language, and as such can do nasty things by themselves, or expose other vulnerabilities (that's why their use is usually discouraged). If you only open documents from safe, known and reliable sources the impact should be minimal, but it's better to be on the side safe of things by updating. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2014-07-12 19:38 GMT+02:00 Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com: On 07/12/2014 05:55 AM, . wrote: To whom it may concern: LibreOffice 4.1.6.2 is detected as insecure by Secunia PSI.

[libreoffice-users] Calc macro - selection by keyboard not recorded
Although reasonably experienced using calc, I haven't used macros much. I am trying to write a macro to make the first character in a cell bold. Enter abc into cell A1. Record the following keystrokes as a macro: F2, home, shift-, control-B, enter. This series of keystrokes does what I want, but running the resulting macro does nothing. The code generated is: sub djl1 rem -- rem define variables dim document as object dim dispatcher as object rem -- rem get access to the document document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame dispatcher = createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper) rem -- dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:SetInputMode, , 0, Array()) rem -- dim args2(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args2(0).Name = Bold args2(0).Value = true dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:Bold, , 0, args2()) end sub The keystrokes home and shift- appear not to have been recorded: this appears to contradict the explicit advice in Help-Recording a Macro Selections are recorded only if they are done by using the keyboard (cursor travelling), but not when the mouse is used What am I doing wrong please?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc macro - selection by keyboard not recorded
Hi :) I only know that the best documentation appears to be Andrew Pitonyak's guide; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Programmers I am not sure if that will help for the specific issues you raise but it might help you get to grips with macros faster or more easily or more soundly or something. Hopefully someone else on this list might be able to help with the specific issues! Good luck and regard from Tom :) On 12 July 2014 21:41, david_lynch david_ly...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: Although reasonably experienced using calc, I haven't used macros much. I am trying to write a macro to make the first character in a cell bold. Enter abc into cell A1. Record the following keystrokes as a macro: F2, home, shift-, control-B, enter. This series of keystrokes does what I want, but running the resulting macro does nothing. The code generated is: sub djl1 rem -- rem define variables dim document as object dim dispatcher as object rem -- rem get access to the document document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame dispatcher = createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper) rem -- dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:SetInputMode, , 0, Array()) rem -- dim args2(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args2(0).Name = Bold args2(0).Value = true dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:Bold, , 0, args2()) end sub The keystrokes home and shift- appear not to have been recorded: this appears to contradict the explicit advice in Help-Recording a Macro Selections are recorded only if they are done by using the keyboard (cursor travelling), but not when the mouse is used What am I doing wrong please?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Adding fields to existing Base table
Hi :) Thanks! :) I think it's definitely good to learn more about what back-ends are available and what they are each best for. Also good when FUD or just misunderstandings can be cleared up. Thanks for that :) Regards from Tom :) On 12 July 2014 05:42, Marion Noel Lodge lodg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Tom, In relation to the H2 database you said - I get the impression that H2 is also a small, fast one but could easily be wrong. All of my H2 databases would be classified as small, but a couple of years ago an H2 user posted on the Users Group that inserts to his data base slowed down significantly after it got to the 1 billion record mark! See - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/h2-database/billion/h2-database/tB6QP8MeDj8/6tyTZ4s5kf0J You will notice from the thread that he got several responses on how to overcome his problem and these enabled him to improve the response he was getting. So I think H2 should be included in the list of heavy duty databases. But I must admit that it will probably be quite a while before I need a table with 1 billion rows in it!
