[libreoffice-users] about unicode characters:

[nasrin khaksar]

hi every one.
thanks so much for spending time and helping me to use libreoffice properly.
is there a solution for libreoffice to recognize the unicode incoding
and open them properly like utf-8 documents?
because open office has unicode utf-7 and utf-8 and libreoffice has
utf-7, utf-8 and utf-16.
whats the difference between unicode and unicode utf-8?
thanks and god bless you all.

Hi Beau. "Insert > Link to External Data..." works for me. Select this menu
option then enter the URL and press enter. A prompt for character
translation may then appear, if so I just click ok. Then a list of
selections is presented. Experimentation by trying the various selections
leads to the desired data being loaded into Calc

​Are you sure that the file is actually unicode ? MS Word have a history of
not doing what he's told with file encodings...

If it is, you might want to try UTF-16, some quick search (
http://www.herongyang.com/Unicode/Word-Save-File-in-Unicode.html) suggest
that the label-less "unicode" settings can be UTF-16 with BOM​. Now, BOM
support in LibreOffice is another matter. The UTF-16 encoding should be
right below UTF-8; at least it is with LibreOffice 5.0.5.2

(Also, your signature is ill-formed; it should begin with "-- ", two dashes
and a space, followed by a newline. This way people that don't care about
signature can easily filter them out).

[libreoffice-users] about unicode txt documents:

[nasrin khaksar]

hi every one.
a person gave me some txt documents stored with microsoft word with
the unicode encoding.
but when i activate libreoffice open dialog box and select txt choose
encoding, libreoffice has not unicode alone and has only unicode utf-8
for this reason i cant open them properly and my documents which
stored with microsoft word in unicode encoding, its completely
unreadible via libreoffice unicode utf-8 and the characters are not
display in persian!
what should i do to solve them?
the problem is very critical for me and my documents are very valuable for me.
thanks for your help and god bless you all.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 5.1 Presentation can't find system browser on OSX 10.11

Aha - you nailed it on the head.  The person who built the document used
an internal file:// refernce, nd the inaccurate message popped up. When
I added a second link with the correct web URL it worked fine (though
strangely enough I could find no menu choice to allow editing the URL
that was previously there!)


The presented error message should become less misleading in LO 5.2 with 
 
"Improve error message when URL cannot be opened externally".


Editing an existing hyperlink works via "Insert - Hyperlink" when you 
have the hyperlink selected (which is often easier to do with the 
keyboard than with the mouse, 
 "Impress: 
Hard to select a hyperlink with the mouse").
