Re: [libreoffice-users] Scan documents?
When I had my Epson Artisan 810, I could not get the scanner part to work. Printer driver worked fine, but not the scanner. When Ubuntu 12.04LTS came out, there was an update to Xsane that fixed the issue since before upgrading to 12.04 the Xsane [or other scanner packages] did not work. I have been using a Canon print/scan/copy since Jan 9th 2013, so I did not need to deal with the Epson, except for the FAX option. I bought a Canon print/scan/copy/fax printer Feb 18th 2014 after the scanner part of the Epson died. SO I have not had to deal with any Epson Linux driver sites for a few years.

Yes, you do seem to have an issue that seems to associate the Epson scanner with the video device in the config files. Go to: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule Drivers for your scanner, including network drivers are found here, in .deb format for your Ubuntu system.

Since it does not print larger than Super B, I do not know the actual inches for C or E sizes. [except C6 Envelope - 114x162 mm] http://www.papersizes.org/ is quite handy for looking up paper sizes. It also explains how the ISO (A4 etc.) sizes are actually defined - e.g. A0 has an area of 1 square metre, and aspect ratio of 1:sqrt(2) (which gives it the property that cutting a page in half along it's long edge results in a smaller page of the same aspect ratio), then each subsequent A-series size is derived by cutting the previous size in half. The US ANSI A, B, C, D and E sizes are not related to the ISO A-, B- and C-series sizes. So ANSI A is nothing to do with ISO A4 (although it happens to be very roughly the same size), and ANSI C nothing to do with ISO C6. Mark.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Nitpicking on a name
I'd always seen LO as being simply an abbreviation for LibreOffice in the same way that OOo was an abbreviation of OpenOffice.org. I'd never associated it with any suggestion that LibreOffice is lo(w) quality. As for MS, a single acronym can have many different meanings. It's one of the problems with using them out of context (TLAs - that's Two/Three Letter Acronyms, not Texas Library Association - are particularly overused). The financial papers may well abbreviate Microsoft in one way, but that's not to say it's the only way. From a quick look, MSFT is used as an abbreviation for Microsoft, at least on NASDAQ - where MS is also used, but for Morgan Stanley. MS is a common abbreviation for Microsoft (yes, and Multiple Sclerosis, and many other things). http://www.acronymfinder.com/MS.html lists 230 meanings for MS, the first of which is Microsoft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS also lists several possible meanings for MS, again including Microsoft. So MS has a different assumed meaning depending on the context. If you're talking about computer software, MS may mean Microsoft, if you're talking about finance it may mean Morgan Stanley, or if you're talking about medical conditions it may be Multiple Sclerosis. Nothing to say any of those uses are an offence to any other. Mark. anne-ology wrote: silly is as silly does this is not; rather inane, bordering on insane ;-) OpenOffice was referred to as OO ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Chart data
Hi :) I think you give good answers. We can't always solve everyone's questions. Hopefully we do push enough of them in the right direction but it is not always possible. There are other places people can use to try to find answers too. Also we are not just about giving answers but are also about showing people that this is a comfortable place to mull over issues and to maybe pick up some new ways of thinking. Those new ways might help people with other problems. Sometimes problems only get solved when several people ask because it takes time for us to learn how to cope with something new. Sometimes the functionality is not there yet so we push for new features. Sometimes it's something that is not widely known about so we all learn. So, don't worry when you can't help a person directly. Just trying to help shows them that they are not alone and that can be a huge help. Good work!

The problem is I haven't done any work with macros since I wrote it and now I can't find it to edit. If I look in Tools--Macros--Organize Macros--Python I see: MyMacros (It's not in here) LibreOfficeMacros (It's not in here) MySpreadsheet.ods (clicking or double clicking this does nothing) It is not in /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/Scripts/Python or /.config/libreoffice/3/user/Scripts/python I can't remember if it is possible to embed a python macro in a sheet or not. If it is how do I edit it? The name of the macro in the menu is enterPmts. I have searched the file system for enterPmts.py and variations but have found nothing. I'm feeling a little dumb right now so any help is appreciated. Regards, Jim Clearly there is a difference between feeling dumb and being dumb since it looks like you looked in the right places :-) Andrew, Thanks for the kind words, but I don't think I deserve them. :) I had one of those 'ah hah' moments last night. Turns out this macro was older than I thought and was written when I was trying to learn LO's basic. So it was written in basic not python. Eventually at that time I decided instead of learning a new language I would figure out how to use one I already knew (python) in LibreOffice macros. Sorry for the noise.

MS stands for Multiple Sclerosis; which is a crippling disease which some folks have - [and yes, I know some who do have this disease] therefore to use this acronym for other things seems to be a slap in the face to these disabled folks. I really think you have to consider the context where LO or MS is used. Both LO and MS stand for many things. -- 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
[libreoffice-users] Re: Nitpicking on a name
Charles-H. Schulz: On this list people call LibreOffice LO. We -sorry to take on my founder's hat here- never called LibreOffice LO. Right, you have fixed all the bugs, got a functional parity with Microsoft Word 2.0, and have a chance to bitch about the acronym.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Trouble with LO Writer templates [Solved]
Thank you for trying to help, Jean-François. After perusing the LO help, I discovered what was playing havoc with my styles. In Tools Options, I simply needed to deselect Apply Styles. Et voilà. Now everything works as I'd expected it to.

[libreoffice-users] Hyphen Printing Problem in Writer??
Hi: I recently installed Version: 4.3.0.3 Build ID: 08ebe52789a201dd7d38ef653ef7a48925e7f9f7 on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, and noticed a problem that I'm pretty sure I had seen in some version of LO back in the 3.x series, but which seems to have returned. When printing documents with hyphenation, the hyphen is placed over the last letter on the line rather than next to it. If I use Print Preview, the display is fine. If I export the file as a pdf and print from there, the printout is fine. The problem only exists when printing directly from LibreOffice. Has anyone else noticed this? I hate filing a bug if no one else can confirm it, but as having old bugs re-appear in later versions is disconcerting, I thought I should check. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Hyphen-Printing-Problem-in-Writer-tp4116929.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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Chart data
Hi Tom: Thank you by your words Regards, Jorge Rodríguez El dom, 27-07-2014 a las 19:06 +0100, Tom Davies escribió: Hi :) I think you give good answers. We can't always solve everyone's questions. Hopefully we do push enough of them in the right direction but it is not always possible. There are other places people can use to try to find answers too. Also we are not just about giving answers but are also about showing people that this is a comfortable place to mull over issues and to maybe pick up some new ways of thinking. Those new ways might help people with other problems. Sometimes problems only get solved when several people ask because it takes time for us to learn how to cope with something new. Sometimes the functionality is not there yet so we push for new features. Sometimes it's something that is not widely known about so we all learn. So, don't worry when you can't help a person directly. Just trying to help shows them that they are not alone and that can be a huge help. Good work!

Imagine you need make a chart with the information of all the months of the year but at this moment you have only seven mounth, like this: Row A B 1 J 10 2 F 20 3 M 30 4 A 40 5 My 40 6 J 50 7 Jy 60 But you expect five additional months: Row A B 8 A ?

(Keep in blank) When you select the initial range you can select: A1:B12 as complete series In this case the chart only show elements graphics for months that have numbers...the others only by referens...but if you dont want show these in the chart you can hide its part of range-rows-(Partial or Total), and the chart adjusts automatically its range.
