[libreoffice-users] type byte in Basic
Hi all,
in looking at
https://ask.libreoffice.org/de/question/97628/base64-encodedecode/ I
came across a problem with type "byte" in Basic and do not know whether
it is a bug or not:
I want to write bytes to a file.
I use
dim oOutputStream as variant
oOutputStream = createUnoService("com.sun.star.io.SequenceOutputStream")
and later on
oOutputStream.writeBytes(...)
If I define dim nA as byte
then nA = 195 is OK, but writeBytes(array(nA)) fails
and nA = -61 fails, but writeBytes(array(-61)) works.
It seems a variable of type byte can have values in range [0..255], but
writeBytes can only use values in range [-128..127].
I have used dim nA as variant in the end, but wonder about the
different ranges.
Kind regards
Regina

[libreoffice-users] Fontworks, how to change font
Hi. Trying to imitate a layout from MS word (words around a circle) in writer. I can enter the words, get the shape, colour, etc. but in writer can't change the font. If I do the same in draw the properties side bar has Character where I can change the font. In writer the sidebar does not have Character. LO 5.1.4.2 Am I missing something, help appreciated.

Select/highlight (eg. Shift + Home keys) the displayed text and choose the required font from the style drop-down or that sidebar thing. Click outside of the Fontworks object to finish. Note: Fontworks is converting normal fonts into vector shapes, so some results may not always be pleasing. Hope this helps. Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.

I just tried Dave's method, and it worked flawlessly (LO 5.2.6.2 on Mac OSX).

[libreoffice-users] Embedding Video Files
Earlier this week, I produced a presentation with embedded video for use in a school classroom (NSW Department of Education, in case anyone has personal knowledge of their set-up). I am using Libre Office 5.3 and Ubuntu 17.04. I checked that the presentation worked, including the video. I saved it in .ppt format onto a USB stick with the video file, "just in case". This turned out to be a good thing. The classroom has an old version of MS Office (2010, I think I saw), a projector and a smart board. I don't know what version of Windows they are running. When I ran the presentation, everything went as expected. Touching the white board progressed the slides as expected. However I couldn't get the video to work from within the presentation, and had to run it from the media player. It's not a big problem, and I can work around it, but when you have a classroom of Year 4 and 5 kids, you don't want to get too distracted by the technology. Any ideas about how to make it work? Keep in mind that I have no access to their computer outside of my lesson time.

I don't have access to OSX, but the method described has always worked for me going back several versions on both Linux & Win. According to Jomali's post it also works on OSX. I have tried a number of configuration settings to to try and make it fail, but it continued to work as described I don't know if it will help you track down the issue, but am cc'ing you with an attached Writer document containing 2 Fontwork graphics. The top one uses the "Comic Sans MS" font and the lower one uses the "Liberation Sans" font. When you open it both Fontwork objects should display as per their underlying font shapes. If not, I can only guess that something? is adrift in your configuration settings. Sorry I can't be of more help. Regards Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.
