Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Would like to see Insert Cut Cells Insert Copied Cells Added to Right-Click Menus
Regina Henschel писал 2011-08-08 21:39: Hi, grfried schrieb: It is not clear to me why Insert Cut Cells following a previous Cut and Insert Copied Cells following a previous Copy are not available in the right-click menu in LibreOffice Calc as they are in Microsoft Excel. I use them very frequently to re-order a set range of rows where sort is not appropriate. You do it different in LibO: For cutpaste: (1) Mark the row or column to move. (2) Hold down the Alt-key and drag. You will notice a bold horizontal line. If you have marked a whole row or column, do not try to use the header, but use a cell. (3) Drop when the line is there, where you want to insert the row or column. For copypaste hold down Alt-Key and Ctrl-Key. Thank you very much for this method. It allows to overcome missing insert cut cell feature (paste special do not replace it as it leaves unneeded empty cells). But is was hard to understand - when dragging multiple lines insert position depends on which line was dragged - if I drag first line everything OK but if I drag second line, block inserts above line that is above cursor itself - and it looks odd. Cut behavior of LO itsef is semi-microsoft, semi-classic - data is gone to clipboard disappearing from sheet, but flowing rectangle around empty cells remains on screen for unclear purpose (in MS Office it means that data is cut, what it means in LO I cannot guess). -- 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] LO (writer, esp.) and alternative keyboard layouts
On 6 February 2015 at 10:11, Gary Collins gcatl...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi, I've been having some trouble lately using in Writer especially when using alternative keyboard mappings (Windows 7). Yesterday, for example, I was using a mapping that was basically English but which included macron vowels (that's vowels with a bar over the top, used, e.g., to indicate a long vowel in works of reference for Latin). I found that the assigned key combination - in this case, AltGr+vowel - was giving me a vowel with something like an acute accent over it instead of a bar - though the key combination was working OK in other applications, e.g. WordPad and even the humble NotePad.It did start to work, however; but in order to get it to do so, I had to set the keyboard in the language bar whilst the LO document was active. Is this the expected behaviour? Should LO override the locale settings in cases like this? (wondering). When you type characters with diacritics, you can get either a precomposed character or a character with diacritics. It depends on the keyboard layout that is active at the moment. For Windows and the default Latin/Greek keyboard layouts, you get precomposed characters. These are single Unicode characters that show the letter with any accents/diacritics drawn on it. They look really well, because the font designer had to draw them with the diacritics on top. The Unicode standard stopped accepting those precomposed characters into the standard about 15 years ago because you had to have all combinations of letters with accents into the standard. The keyboard layouts for Latin and Greek produce precomposed characters. For some exotic Latin scripts, there are no precomposed characters, so they use diacritics. ALPHA with TONOS: ά (precomposed, it's a single character) ALPHA with TONOS: ά (with diacritic, it's actually two characters!) I have an impression you are hitting some issue with the above two different ways to represent characters with accents/diacritics. Again, whilst using the polytonic Greek keyboard, I have noticed that from time to time the key combinations required to obtain some of the special characters stop working - that is, the key presses appear to be detected, but they stop having the desired effect. An example: to obtain an alpha with a rough breathing, acute accent and iota subscript, I would have to first press the combination altGr + shift + '/', release those keys, and then press 'a' (for alpha). It's the altGr + shift combination that stops working here; when I press 'a' I get an alpha alright, but without the special diacritics (I think that's the right word).Using a combination without shift and/or altGr still works; e.g. I can press (and release) '/' and then press 'a' and get an alpha with smooth breathing and acute, which is the expected behaviour. When you press AltGr+Shift+/, you are instructing the operating system that you are typing a dead key; nothing appears on the screen but if the next character is a certain one defined in the keyboard layout, then you will get that letter with the desired accent(s). I would have to first press the combination altGr + shift + '/', release those keys, and then press 'a' (for alpha) is indeed the proper way to hit the dead key, and then hit the letter. If you do not hit the appropriate letter, then the dead key is dropped/cancelled so that you can continue typing. In Windows you can type up to one dead key and then a letter. I've no idea why this sometimes goes awry; the focus does not leave the document in question, and I haven't noticed a consistent combination of keystrokes/actions preceding the cessation of functionality. Similarly, I haven't found a consistent way to restore it - I can generally do so, eventually, but it seems to require different steps each time; such steps might include changing the keyboard from polytonic Greek to English and back again, using the language button on the desktop toolbar and/or using my assigned key combinations (in case these are significant, I use ctrl + alt + 1 to change to the polytonic Greek and ctrl + alt + 0 to change to the English layout; Left Alt + Shift changes between languages (default)); clicking an empty area of the desktop to lose the focus from Writer; giving the focus to a different document; and so on. Any idea what I might be doing to cause LO Writer to go awry (prevention is better than cure)? Or the reason why it might be going wrong? Or if there is, in fact, a consistent way to restore it (but I just haven't found it yet)? LO Writer should work without issues. I use it on Ubuntu and I could not get such a problem. One cause could be the keyboard layout in Windows sending (sometimes?) diacritic characters. You may mistype some of the dead keys, and they produce diacritics into the document. Sounds improbable, but it's the only thing I have in mind. If you can export a sample paragraph

Hi :) Did Marianne-x actually help there? Sometimes people don't notice answers when they are written at the bottom of a post but in OpenSource mailing lists people are usually told to post at the bottom rather than at the top of emails. I figured that maybe the file is read-only and needs to be saved under a new name = i tend to add -v1 at the end of files and then step-up that number at the end in order to track which version is more recent. It helps me keep back-ups and helps me return to a previous verion if weird things happen. For an entire document then it might be soemthign to do with styles being set wrongly. Most styles cascade so hopefully you only need to modify one of them but i never know the hierarchy so you might need to modify each individual style. Then getting the whole document to apply the correct styles should fix it but that might take a bit of figuring out. I'm sure you have tried all sorts of complicated things and i am struggling to think of something simple. All i can think of is that you have to select the text that you want to apply changes too.

I am copypasting from one document to another and losing formatting of styles and suspect different ODF versions. I don't know of a simple way, but if you unzip an ODF document (it's a zip archive) you will find it contains a number of XML files, and each of those has something like office:version=1.2 in the preamble to the file. Depending on your operating system and installed software, you may be able to change the document file's extension to .zip and double-click it in order to reveal its contents. I trust this helps.

Yes, you can install LibreOffice and then uninstall Works at your convenience. Please ensure you download only from www.libreoffice.org or one of it's mirrors.

Re: [libreoffice-users] When will LO have MS macro and function support?

When will LibreOffice have 100% MS macro and function support? Or this is something that it's not worth it to do in LibreOffice? IMHO if LibreOffice would have 100% MS compability for macros and functions too, then... nothing would stand against LibreOffice to conquer the Office world. Thanks. Although I agree that this would be great, it is not possible. Things are hampered in that LO supported things that MSO does not, and MSO supports things that LO does not. The moment you have an MSO macro that exploits a capability not supported by LO, things fail.; for example, the difference between a character highlight and a character background. How do you attempt to map this for 100% compatibility if it is not supported in LO. Sure, I am picking at nits here, but, I think that the most important take away in this regard is that even if we do a really good job, if we happen to miss that one thing that you need... Even if we were only looking to say hit 80% compatible by emulating the objects and behavior in that way (and I suspect that it may not even be possible given how some of the VBA macros function), that still leaves 20% of the stuff that might fail. And then, if your macro uses .NET libraries and things not available on non Windows platforms, those will not work unless the entire .NET stuff is supported. Off hand, I would say that this is a low priority for the majority of the users (in other words, there exist things that the majority would put as a higher priority such as improved OOXML support). Understand that this is a really hard task, which would require significant investment in time and money. The end result would still not provide 100% compatibility. So, I don't really expect it. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- 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
