Le 06/11/2014 21:14, Marc Grober a écrit : Hi Marc, The point of the posts was to note that in fact it is easy enough to get LO working on Yosemite but it requires a bit of messing about, some of which is counter-intuitive. Yes, the basic setup is : - install Apple Java 6 - then install Oracle JDK/JRE (currently 1.8.0_25) When you next set your Java preferences in LO, it should automatically detect the Oracle JDK/JRE (which are effectively located in different positions to Apple's Java 6).

[libreoffice-users] Re: LO 4 on OSX 10.10
Le 06/11/2014 19:34, Tom Davies a écrit : Hi Tom, all That crash is highly likely to be a Java issue, of course. Switch off Java and the text files stop crashing. On Yosemite, the crash is a LO issue because LibreOffice comes bundled with at least one extension that invokes a JVM via a JNI call, or alternatively, any functionality that requires a JVM to be invoked e.g. any of the remaining Java wizards, or Base functionality requiring JVM instantiation. However, the real underlying problem is that Oracle's Java 7 and Java 8 have a bug preventing them from initiating this JVM via JNI correctly, and which is only slated to be fixed with the release of Java 9, so ultimately this is Oracle's problem. There is a bug report in the LibreOffice bug tracker which indicates where the problems lie.

[libreoffice-users] Default Alignment for Inserted Images
When I place the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph (left margin) in Writer and insert a graphic, it always defaults to being center-aligned. This isn't normally a big deal, but I need to put in a slew of these and it's therefore become tedious. Is there a way to change this default behavior so that Writer will always insert the graphic as right-aligned? I've wandered through all the setup menus I could think of, but can't find any such setting. In a similar vein, is there a way to set these same defaults for tables, frames, and the like? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Default-Alignment-for-Inserted-Images-tp4128410.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

I've wandered through all the setup menus I could think of, but can't find any such setting. Inserted graphics appear to inherit the Graphics paragraph style. Select a graphic, open the Styles and Formatting window, right-click the Graphics paragraph style, and select Modify... . At Type | Position | Horizontal, select something such as Right to Page text area. Future inserts will appear right-aligned. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Default Alignment for Inserted Images
Thanks Brian: Once again, I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that before posting. As usual, you've come to the rescue quickly and with a response that's right on target. As with most folks looking for answers here, seeing a response from you with your famous catch-phrase I trust this helps is pretty much a guarantee of a good answer. Frank For the forum in general: From the shows on television this week, it seems to be music awards season and, so far as I'm aware, Brian Barker doesn't have any albums or songs up for a grammy, but does anyone else believe that he should be voted as the most consistently knowledgeable and (even more importantly) helpful person lurking on this forum? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Default-Alignment-for-Inserted-Images-tp4128410p4128422.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
[libreoffice-users] Add Dictionary Online
Hello, I would like to submit a large dictionary of medical terminology that has already been compiled. It seems that I can only create a new dictionary on a word-by-word basis on the user end, and there doesn't seem to be the option for me to submit directly to the site that Writer links me to when I click get more dictionaries online. Please help me install this thing. Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Default Alignment for Inserted Images
HI :) +1 There are many other contributors whose answers are always of a similarly high quality. I save answers from quite a few people here. Regina, for example - but i'd be hard-pushed to name anyone as prolific over such a long time-span as Brian.

[libreoffice-users] outline numbering
I've used LO and its predecessors for about 15 years now. I recently noticed that the dialog boxes for outline numbering have changed. In the past, under the position tab for outline numbering, the numbering position was determined by settings such as width of numbering and minimum space to text. Now the numbering position is determined by settings such as numbering followed by and aligned at. This newer dialog seems to follow the practice of MS Word and will, I think, increase compatibility of LO .doc files. But, now I have a mishmash in my documents. Older documents have the older dialog boxes and newer documents have the newer, even though I load them into the same instance of LO. I'd like to get all my documents working the same, but I've seen no way of changing the outline numbering in old documents to match the newer dialogs. I've played with some of the compatibility settings under tools/options, but I've found nothing that seems to have any effect. Once a document has been created with outline numbering, is there a way to make LO change the way it establishes the position of the numbering (i.e., with numbering followed by a tab, rather than width of numbering.) It seems to be an either/or with LO, and I can't figure out how it decides which dialog option to give me.

Please help me install this thing. Thank you. It wasn't clear to me if you're trying to install a custom dictionary so you can use it when you run Writer or if you're trying to submit a dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org (the site I'm taken to when I click the Get more dictionaries online... link in Tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids). For personal use, consider visiting http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/build_scientific_names_dictionary_libreoffice which describes how to make a dictionary for hunspell, LibreOffice's spell checker, and how to get LibreOffice to see your new dictionary. For adding a dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org, I'd consider reading the site's how-to documentation for contributing an extension to the site, and then asking extensi...@otrs.documentfoundation.org if I had questions. I haven't gone through the process of submitting an LibreOffice extension there myself but I imagine part of that process involves filling out the form at http://extensions.libreoffice.org/@@hosting-your-extension so the site moderators know what to expect from your contribution. If you decide to share your medical terminology dictionary, thanks for doing that. Such a dictionary sure sounds helpful. -- 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
