Re: [libreoffice-users] Tab defaults change when pasting into Writer from some other applications
Hi :) +1 I think there is a balance somewhere. I found that about 20mins of reading the Published Guides chapter on styles and spending about 10mins messing with settings saved me about an hour or more on a task that had previously taken at least an hour. I can't remember the exact times but it was something like that. It's probably in the archives from maybe 2-3 years ago but it's not worth looking up better estimates. Of course i was panicking at the time so i wasn't in the best frame of mind for really taking it all in but even a small investment of time helped save me quite a bit of time that one time and has continued to save me tons of time ever since. I do often go with the defaults but keep meaning to set-up a set of styles to make all my different letters a bit more consistent with each other across different systems. I think you can get some useful time-saving stuff without having to spend hours setting it up. That hopefully gives you more time to improve on your styles to make more time-savings and/or to make your documents look better.

I fear you may have fallen into the common error of explaining and showing clearly what you *don't* want but not what you do! I am trying to print a booklet using LibreOffice's Brochure print function. It issue is that I don't want my booklet a whole half page. I used margins to set the page size I need. A brochure prints so that you can fold the resulting printed sheets in half to create the booklet. If you fold any size sheet in half, you necessarily get a booklet which is half the sheet size. To put it another way, the paper size you use needs to be twice the required booklet size. The issue is when I print, it prints a huge gap in the middle (Which I know is the left margin I set). I also tried setting different margins for the left and right pages (both ways) and can't get it to solve the problem. So what *is* the problem? If you want a smaller page size, you need buy smaller paper. If you want to be able to trim your final booklet to a smaller size, your second picture would appear to show exactly what you need. Do you mean that you just want your smaller page text areas to be centred within the larger pages - in other words simply with large text margins? You can do that easily, simply by setting appropriate page margins. By the way, the page size set in your document should be the smaller brochure page size, not the printed sheet size. Is that what you are doing? I trust this helps.

Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Setting Base to open with a slected form
The solution to getting LibreBase to open with a particular form involves several steps: 1. Create a macro /Sub Menu_Main( ) Dim ObjTypeWhat Dim ObjName As String ObjTypeWhat = com.sun.star.sdb.application.DatabaseObject.FORM ObjName = MainMenuForm 'The name of the form you want to open at Base start-up, this needs to exist.

End if End Sub/ 2. Call the macro when the data base is opened: From the top tool bar select: Toolscustomiseopendocument Add macro Main_menu to this selection. When the data base is opened there is a delay of about 1 second before the form named in the macro opens. This isn't quite as fast as Access, but in many other areas I found LibreBase to be more intuitive and than MS Access.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Tab defaults change when pasting into Writer from some other applications
The moment you think this doesn't look right to me is the moment that styles pays off. Our unique visual look at the world is just what styles is all about. When someone receives your document, there will be little questions that it is yours. Not something you don't already know, but very important to the world around you. So, it begs the question, when you are using Writer, should there be a menu item that asks Change this style permanently? so the your world grows instead of trying to predetermine everything?

Over the years, however, I've found that other parts of Writer make use of the standard built-in styles. For example, the Table of Contents feature defaults to the standard Heading styles (although it can use any other style). The eLaix e-book extension does the same. So, there is definitely a benefit to staying with the default styles. So, now, my plan is to go back to the default template along with its default styles and see how well I can live with them as they are, modifying them only as necessary.

Thank you Brian. I will try to show you what I want and clarify the problem. Firstly, you are absolutely right, I need smaller paper. Unfortunately, nobody sells 180 x 140 mm paper and even if they did or I were to trim regular paper before printing, my printer does not have that as an option. I tried going ahead and setting LibreOffice to page size to 90 x 140 mm, but when printing on an 8.5 x 11 in paper, it just expanded my page to fill the half-page. The problem with my current solution of playing with the margins is how it PRINTS OUT. The first image prints out like this: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4128113/Print2.png Where the dotted line is where I'd like to trim and the solid line is the fold line. My second image prints out like this: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4128113/Print1.png What I really want is it to print out like this for both the front and the back: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4128113/Print3.png Any further help you can offer would be much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Booklet-Issues-tp4128001p4128113.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

Here's the clever bit: select a small Inner margin to construct the gutter and a large Outer margin to displace each print area inwards from the edge of the paper. o When printing, ensure that the paper settings in the Print dialogue are Letter size and Landscape orientation. o Fold, (staple? stitch?), and finally trim to size.

Maybe Peter should do that since he seems to have a better grip on the solution. The clean solution without macros: 1) Open an embedded form document and save it as a regular Writer document. 2) Close the form and load the new document from the new location. 3) Turn on edit mode, get the form design toolbar and click its 5th button for the form navigator. 4) Get the main form's properties dialog, second tab Data. 5) Copy the Source string first. 6) Unlike the embedded form, this one has a Data Source property. Choose the registered name of your data source or use the [...] button to pick the database file. (registration has several advantages). 7) The Source property is wiped out when you change the data source but you have it in the clipboard. Paste it back into the Source box. 8) Repeat 5) to 7) for all the forms and subforms on the same form document. 9) Save and close the form document and make the file read-only. Now you can open the form document just like any other document without loading the database document and you can add ordinary hyperlinks to switch between form documents. Of course, you can use desktop hyperlinks too. In rare cases you may use another option that is not availlable with embedded forms: Subforms can be bound to data sources other than the main form. For instance your subform may show all the database records related to the main form's selected record that is stored in a spreadsheet. -- 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

Me ocurre lo mismo con el campo Total de Páginas, lo que me devuelve es el Texto Estadística Número de Página Número de Página Total de Páginas Estadística Es decir, en vez de aparecer el dígito numérico correspondiente a esos campos, aparece el texto genérico o identificador del campo, pero no el número. Adjunto una imagen en la que se ve lo que he descrito. ¿Sabría alguien indicarme dónde puede estar el problema y cómo solucionarlo? Gracias Corredera *** Hi Writer When I insert the Page Number field, the text Page Number is inserted, not the numeric digit corresponding to the page. The same applies to the field Total Pages which brings me back is the text Statistics Number of Page Page Number Total Pages Statistics That is, instead of the corresponding numeric digit these fields appear, the generic text or identifier field, but not the number. Attached is a picture where you see what you have described. Can anyone tell me where I would know may be the problem and how to fix it?

timllloyd wrote I just did the same as Dan and got the same results. When I press Ctrl+B at the end of a line, LO respects that choice when I get to the next line, and doesn't apply boldface. I did this with LO 4.1.5.3 on Win7. Virgil the fact remains that if you press enter twice (whether intentionally or otherwise) the first blank line is bolded. From what I can see the problem occurs between 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 (RPM version). Jerry would you like to file a bug report? If not I am happy to jump onto bugzilla tomorrow Cheers Virgil, if you are willing to do that, please go right ahead. I've never done that, so am not experienced at it. I don't mind if you do. Thanks to everyone who verified what I was seeing. At first I just wasn't sure if it was normal or not, but it did seem odd. Yes, to see the problem you must press Enter two times after turning bold off at the end of a line of bold text.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Writer - Bold activates by itself
Hi :) It was Tim who offered to post the bug-report. I am sure both Tim and Virgil understand who your thanks are aimed at :) Such confusions easily arise on mailing-lists and both are very experienced with these sorts of things. :) Posting a bug-report is not as difficult as it sounds. There are various guides and differing opinions on how to post a perfect bug-report but the basic thing to remember is that it's always possible to add more to your bug-report later so your first attempt does not have to be perfect, or even good. Also there is a team of QA personnel who help triage bugs and are usually happy to help newbies improve their bug-reports. After doing your first report the documentation on how to post a perfect report might make more sense and might help you improve yours. The bug-report itself is much like posting an e-mail. You just need to write a good subject-line, maybe copypaste the one you used for this e-mail thread or maybe tweak it to something like Bold stays activated even after being switched off. First thing is to register at the bug-reporting website. This is the bit that puts most people off but it's really not that tough. You have made it to this list and registered at Nabble so registering at the bug-reporting place should be much easier for you. Once you have registered it's easier for any other issues you might spot in the future or to add helpful comments to the bug-report that gets posted about this issue. These guides help. Both aim at helping you post a perfect bug-report so don't worry too much about trying to do everything they say. Some people find the 1st link more useful because it's a nice pretty gui that helps pointclick users by hiding most of the options; https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ Other people find the 2nd link more useful for exactly the same reason (ie that it doesn't hide anything and allows more flexibility); https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport If you do go for it you can always ask us for help and advice if you do get stuck but i think you'll be surprised at how much easier it is than the guides or reputation makes it sound! ;) Good luck and regards from Tom :) On 5 November 2014 20:50, jerryvb jerry...@gmail.com wrote: timllloyd wrote I just did the same as Dan and got the same results.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Tab defaults change when pasting into Writer from some other applications
Hi :) Anyone fancy posting a 'bug-report' about this and marking it as a feature request? I've still not registered on the bug-report site and i'm a bit swamped with other things and i'm a bit nervous about the whole process, despite my reassurances to JerryVB, as i'm not usually much of a people person especially when it comes to suggesting possible improvements!
