[libreoffice-users] Re: the gallery in LO

[V Stuart Foote]

@John, *,

You don't mention which branch of LibreOffice, but at 4.3 the Gallery dialog
has been moved exclusively to the Sidebar deck. Display of the deck is
controlled from the Sidebar Tab bar--the Sidebar deck can be collapsed down
to the Tab bar, to just a button on the window edge, or closed completely.

The View -> Sidebar, and residual View -> Clip Art Gallery will toggle the
Sidebar active--Clip Art opening directly to that content panel in the deck.

Any of the Sidebar Tab buttons on the Tab bar will shift the deck to the
corresponding content panel.  In Calc spreadsheet that would be Properties,
Styles and Formatting, Gallery, Navigator, Functions. For the 4.4 branch, a
second click on a Tab bar button will close the Deck leaving just the Tab
bar showing. 

Point is--you can  use either menu or mouse actions (or keyboard only) to
open, hide or close the Gallery in its docked or undocked position in the
Sidebar widgets.

[libreoffice-users] the gallery in LO

[John Sowden]

I opened the gallery, how I don't remember, using LO Draw to create some 
floor plans.  Went well.  Recommend it.  However, when I went back to 
accounting in the spreadsheet,  I could not get rid of "the gallery".  
The logical place to find how to add/remove it is in "View".  Not 
there.  I found it in tools, after a lot of searching, including the 
Help System (to no avail).  As there is no ellipse ( ...), there are 
only two options: 1. Display it.  2. Do not display it. (Binary  :) ).  
A more intuitive UI might be a check mark, and maybe even put it in the 
View menu.


That's it.

John

Only by saving your document, I hope! If you mean that you have 
actually completed the Save of the document (which may involve 
providing a file name and destination folder in the Save As dialogue 
for a new document, of course) then something is wrong.


Note that some activities that you might not consider changes will 
modify the document and will bring the Save icon out of its greyed-out state.


I trust this helps.

You can toggle between the display of filed name and their values.

(2) Whenever I typed an internet address, there was no underscore: 
http://www.libreoffice.org. The underscore does not appear even now.


You can easily underline any text by selecting it and using 
right-click | Style > | Underline (or in various other ways). But 
perhaps you mean more than that?


o If you want URLs to be automatically detected and converted to 
hyperlinks, you need to have the option(s) ticked at Tools | 
AutoCorrect Options... | Options | URL Recognition.


o If you are finding hyperlinks are not appearing in the correct 
colour and with the correct style, you can modify the appropriate 
styles at Format | Styles and Formatting. Click on the Character 
Styles button and right-click the relevant style and select Modify... 
| Font Effects. The relevant styles are Internet Link and Visited 
Internet Link.


You do realise that automatic detection will not occur until you 
follow the URL with a space or line break or paragraph break (or similar?)?


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Hyperlink Not Underscored

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
When you type an internet address and then put a full stop after it that
full-stop sometimes gets included in the address so that people clicking on
your link then go to the wrong place, usually an empty page such as "404
Page not found"

The underlining usually happens after you type a couple of spaces or after
you press enter.

It could easily be something else though
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] The Save Tool could not be dimmed

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
It is actually better to post each question as a separate thread instead of
bunching them together.  It mean your subject-line can be more directly
relevant to the question and that will hopefully increase your chances of
getting a good response from someone interested in that topic.

The "Save" button 'should' dim when there is no difference between your
latest saved file and the way the file appears in LibreOffice or
OpenOffice.

So, try saving to a different folder in case you were saving it somewhere
weird or incase the file was getting corrupted or changed somehow.  Also
check that your keyboard doesn't have a key jammed somehow or repeatedly
hit so that it's repeating a key(s).  A fav for that is to remove the  cat
from the keyboard (if that is possible).

Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] The Save Tool could not be dimmed

[Taang Zomi]

Actually, my problems were three, not two.

(3) When I save my document I use the SAVE on the toolbar. When  I click
it, my data is saved, and the SAVE image is dimmed. But  earlier today, it
cold not be diimmed.

How can I dim it?

[libreoffice-users] Hyperlink Not Underscored

[Taang Zomi]

Hyperlink Not Underscored

I am a novice when it comes to computers.

Earlier today, I was encountered with two strange behaviors in LibreOffice
Writer.

(1) In the footer of the page, I had page number and date, in the template.
But when I clicked the template, there was no page number (and no date) in
the footer.

(2) Whenever I typed an internet address, there was no underscore:
http://www.libreoffice.org. The underscore does not appear even now.

As to #1 problem, I went to Google, and typed something like "LibreOffice
Writer: Page number in footer not shown".

The solution was: View --> Field Names

and the page number and date appeared.

But I could not find how to solve the #2 problem.

I would like any help.

[libreoffice-users] Windows 64 bit builds born. Really and long last!

[Carlo Strata]

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday evening I take a look to LibreOffice 4.5.x initial release 
note page:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.5

And scrolling down the page I see, among the likely concrete 4.5 
targets, the Windows 64 build!!! :-) ;-)

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/msvc-x86_64
http://ostrovsky.org/libo/LibreOfficeDev_4.5.0.0.alpha0_Win_x64.2015-02-18.msi

I think no more main releases could be skipped again. No more!

I ask myself if this is a "Collabora" contribution like the Android 
viewer that is a 4.5.x based build too:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collabora.libreoffice
https://libreoffice-from-collabora.com/
or something else...

In any case, I am very happy for all of us! I will test my bugs in that 
build too and report the results in the bug tracker.


Have a nice evening,

Carlo

TDF infrastructure is meeting problems since yesterday night European
tiem. The infra team is still working to bring back the most important
parts (repositories, sites, wiki, BZ, etc). If you want to keep informed

I tried several times and the Auto Increment just reverted to 'NO' every 
time I saved it.



When you talk about the Keyfield, do you mean that this was a PRIMARY
KEY or was it a reference for other tables (FOREIGN KEY)?

Yes I mean the Primary Key - I have no Foreign Keys

Did you attribute PRIMARY KEY status to the new field that you created?
Did you recreate any references (FOREIGN KEYS) to other tables ?

I deleted the old Primary key and marked the new field as Primary


If you didn't, then by deleting your original RecordID field, you
probably deleted the primary key and/or any references as well, and in
all likelihood that is the reason why the forms that relied on that key
to be set no longer work.

In which case should I rather export my data out and start again?? My 
feeling is this might be the best and quickest way to go.


Thanks for the help.

*Hi All*

I have been rebuilding/revamping my Database over the past few weeks 
and everything has been going great.

I'm using LO 4.3.5.2 and MySQL 5.1.73 on PClinuxOS (latest).

Yesterday I found I had not set my Keyfield (RecordID) to Auto 
Increment so I set a new field with phpMyAdmin called 'id'. And this 
is now working fine and Auto incrementing. I deleted the old RecordID 
field.


Now many of my fields are greyed out in the Form and will not accept 
input and all my drop-down boxes are inactive.
probably in your "data" properties from the greyedout ListBoxcontrols 
you have used in a sql statement the name off the deleted field or the 
data connection is based on this deleted fields ?


Hope it helps

I created a new temporary Form (using the Wizard) and it works fine 
and displays all fields. But as soon as I replace a field with a 
drop-down or Combo Box box that box becomes inactive again and is 
greyed out and will not display the options.


I've looked everywhere in the field properties but can find no obvious 
cause.


Anyone have any ideas please?? Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Split "Move/Copy Sheet" item in sheet tab menu

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Sorry this is sooo late!!  When stuff goes wrong like that remember that if
you haven't saved yet you can always undo or just "not save" to get back to
where you were.  If necessary you can always "Save As" and add a version
number and then recover the appropriate sheet from an older version!  Easy
to forget all that when something goes this wrong tho!

Also if you have not yet closed the document then you might be able to undo
(i've got a feeling it wont undo tab changes).

Plus if you have any old version of your file, such as on a usb-stick,
emailed to yourself or anyone, on a cd/dvd or Cloud like GDrive or anywhere
then you might be able to get most of that old sheet back.

You can "Protect" sheets and things sometimes but that might be more
troublesome than it's worth

Good luck hunting for an old copy of the lost sheet/tab!

Regards from
Tom :)

Are your sure?

When I try do move/copy a sheet to another document that already
contains a sheet with the same name, I do get a warning and the OK
button is inactive. So it´s impossible to overwrite the target.

But, all this has nothing to do with splitting the "Move/Copy Sheet"
command.

Cannot lookup your bug, because the bug tracker is down at the moment.

I have not seen it as a problem, either. Every Calc user (and every
Excel user) is used to it since decades. ;-)

And I do not support changes, that do not result in a *major*
improvement. Any change requires much effort, not only changing the
code and doing QA, but also localisation, changing documentation,
books, and so on.

Let´s fix bugs instead! :-)

Ok, I am on. This confirmation is reasonable and desirable. But the

The change might be ok, but in which way does that solve your

This is all a guess though without knowing exactly how your original
RecordID field was defined and whether or not it had any relationships
to other tables.
