[libreoffice-users] Where is Base?
Hello, Base DOES come with the main installer - at least in my two cases: Linux-Mint and Windows-7. My version 4.3.6 gets started with libreoffice4.3 --base %U under Linux. Regards H.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?
Hello, thanks for the help. I have Java 8 installed and it's being detected in Tools-Options as you indicated. I tried launching it directly (not via the startup screen) and there doesn't appear to be any executable for it - only scalc.exe and swriter.exe It seems that Base, Impress, Draw and Math are not installed with the main installer? Do I need to get them from somewhere else? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Where-is-Base-tp4139808p4140129.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

Do I need to get them from somewhere else? In LO 4.4.0.3 on my (64-bit) Linux Mint 17.1 machine, I can open Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, and Math with no problem, but klicking on Base does nothing at all ; the service simply doesn't launch. On my (64-bit) Windows 8.1 machine, however, Base launches just as it should. How can I get it to do so on my Linux box, which is the one I generally use ?...

Re: Re: [libreoffice-users] installation problem LO4.4 - linux mint
thank you. i returned to the default LO-version for linux mint, because even from terminal i couldn´ t launch LO4.4 anymore. it would be interesting to analyze the situation and fix it but i don´t have the time for that. :/ cheers, markus On Sat, 14 Feb 2015 18:24:01 +0100 Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster lt;webmas...@krackedpress.comgt; wrote I am running Linux Mint 16, due some printer dependency issues [missing dependencies that will not install properly] with the later version[s] fo Ubuntu based OSs. I also run Ubuntu 14.xx with MATE desktop environment. SO, I have seen this issue before. If you can go into the DEB folder and rerun the Applications Menu setup file, then it should fix the issues with the icons. To me it appears that the menu icons are pointing to the old version. I tend to delete the desktop icons for LO and replace then with the ones in the Applications/Office menu. I do this with every upgrade from say 4.3.x to 4.4.x [like 4.2.x to 4.3.x].

I added the ppa, did a refresh, and was offered the new versions in synaptic. (Irrelevant probably, but synaptic then refused to actually do the upgrade - but this has happened lately for various packages, not just LO. Using apt (or was it apt-get?) directly performed all the upgrades correctly.) Mike, I use the LO PPA to install all the upgrades to my 64-bit Linux Mint box (currently 17.1) , which means that they are installed automatically via the Update Manager - i e, I don't have to look for them in Synaptic or use «apt-get» in a terminal to install them. Very convenient, but as I recently mentioned on another thread, Base seems to be missing from the latest version (4.4.0.3) installed on this computer - in any event, when I click the Base icon in LibreOffice nothing at all happens, and when I enter «soffice --base» in a terminal, LibreOffice opens not to Base, but to Writer !... I'm not a frequent user of Base, but I can't recall encountering this problem with previous versions of LO on Mint. I note that all LO services, including Base, work just fine on my Windows 64-bit 8.1 box. Any suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated !...

[libreoffice-users] Question about font replacement/substitution in Writer 4.3.3
Hi! I'm running LibreOffice Writer 4.3.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.10 Linux (64-bit). I'm helping someone convert a MS Word document info a PDF form. I'm creating the form as a native ODT document, which I will save as a PDF form. The original MS Word document uses the Calibri font everywhere. I don't have Calibri installed, yet the text is displayed anyway. My question: how I can find out which font is being used as a substitute for Calibri? I know about the Font Replacement Table, where I can specify which fonts to use as replacements or substitutes. However, I'm looking for a way to find out which font Writer chose as the replacement font. Is there a way to find this out? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance! Peace...
