Re: [libreoffice-users] Language not "picked" correctly

Sorry
The newest Firefox versions I have used [this one and the last one], has 
"en_US" listed and then "en" listed second.

It is weird that my Ubuntu install shows en_GB instead of en_US. Your
Ubuntu/Debian based OS gets .rpm instead .deb.  I get my problem with
the latest repository version of Firefox - 60.0.1.

I do not use Chromium, but add Chrome for those web sites who refuses
to allow Firefox to be used.

Because almost all universities and peer-reviewed journals require APA
style for linguistics, which in turn demands a proportional serif font.
Some even specifically stipulate Times.

>it occurs to me I may not fully understand your goal. please clarify:

Referring to example 1 above, there are five words, each of which is
an 'element.' In line 2 there are also five elements, one for each word
in line 1. Each element must be positioned for the longer of the
matching element in each line. 

In example 1 above 'All.m.pl' is longer than 'Todos,' so it controls
the position of the second element. Similarly, all the remaining
elements in line 2 are also longer than their counterparts in line 1, so
the elements in line 1 must be spaced out so they start at the same
position as their counterparts below.

Usually the elements in the second line are longer than their
counterparts in the first line, but that doesn't always happen. If an
element in the first line happens to be longer than its counterpart in
line 2, then the element in line 2 must be spaced out so it starts at
the same position as its counterpart above.

Each pair of elements must be aligned vertically.

The third line is just the translation and needs no special spacing.

Here is a PDF with some examples on pages 4 and 5:

as far as I can see spaces would work fine in a monospaced font, why

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Rate Function similar to Excel

=Here is what I did.


11886.87

291.09;
13972.32=A3*48
$291.09=-PMT(8.16%/12,A2,A1)
;
0.68%=RATE(A2,-A3,A1,0)
8.16%=A7*12


Three values in A1 to A3
Calculated total in A4
Used PMT function, and manually figured the interest rate by trying values till 
correct value gotten.


In A6 used the rate function, It calculates rate for the payment.A7 calculates 
the yearly rate.


Is that want you want?

(1) you want the relevant elements of text and gloss in the first two

Re: [libreoffice-users] copy function not working

2018-06-08 Thread libreoffice-ml . mbourne

Robert M McClure:
I can assure you that the reported problem, ie, Control-C not copying. 
Is NOT a hardware problem. On my machine it appears to happen quite 
regularly under the following circumstance. Firefox is displaying a web 
page. Control-C click on the URL bar. Open a Writer window. Paste 
(Control-V). This ALWAYS works. Select some text in the Firefox page. 
Control-C click. Go to the Writer page. Paste. About 90% of the time the 
result is the previously copied URL. However, if in the Firefox page, 
you click on Edit, and then Copy, and then paste in the Writer Document, 
it is correct. I have performed this experiment (and similar ones) 
enough times to definitely rule out a keyboard problem on my machine. 
There is something strange in the interaction between Firefox and 
Writer. I have tried the same experiment with the Opera browser and do 
not see this problem.


Not sure if it's the case here, but I have noticed that some 
applications can sometimes take a bit of time to actually perform the 
copy. Particularly with large graphics or a lot of complexly formatted text.


After a failed paste, if you wait 10 seconds or so and try to paste 
again (without copying again) do you then get the expected content pasted?


It could be that Firefox is just taking a while to actually copy the 
content to the clipboard, and in the meantime the clipboard is giving 
you what it currently has. Although there might not appear to be a lot 
to copy, some web pages include a lot of images or are very heavy on 
formatting markup, CSS, JavaScript and suchlike which might perhaps slow 
down the copy. Conversely, a URL is plain text and very short in 
comparison, so does not incur a noticeable delay.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Rate Function similar to Excel

2018-06-08 Thread charles meyer
Hi Johnny,

My apologizes for not being clearer.

I've never used Rate Function in Excel nor Calc.

I've explored the ? Help function but that's not altogether clear for me.

I'm trying to figure out the step-by-step of calculating the interest rate
(not total interest amount charged for the length of the loan) on a car
loan where $11,886.87 is borrowed and the monthly payments are $291.09 a
month for 48 months.

I open Calc and then where do I find Rate Function?

Once that feature is activated, how/where do I input the factors I have to
have it calculate the interest rate?

Thank you for your help.

Charles.

Well, why not use the RATE function in Calc? It seems to take the same
parameters as Excel do, are you saying it doesn't return the same values as
Excel?

are the results:



Here is my test plan

Launch: Firefox, Opera, Gvim, Notepad, Writer

Bring up a page in Firefox and Opera.

Insert some text in Gvim and Notepad

Select an item in Firefox, Opera, Gvim or Notepad

Control-C click on selected item in source

Go to target (Gvim, Notepad, or Writer) and click Control-V

Record whether the selected item is pasted (OK) or some previous item (Fail)

For browsers, the selected item will be either from the URL line or the 
body text.


In the following list:  source   target   success or failure


Firefox page writer OK

Firefox URL writer OK

Firefox page writer OK

Opera page writer Fail

Opera URL writer OK

Opera page writer Fail

Gvim writer OK

Notepad writer OK

Opera page Gvim Fail

Opera URL Gvim OK

Opera URL notepad OK

Opera page notepad Fail


relaunch Firefox and Opera


Firefox page notepad OK

Firefox URL notepad OK

Firefox page writer OK

Firefox URL writer OK

Firefox page writer OK

Firefox URL notepad OK

Firefox page notepad OK


no Fails after about 30 additional random trials
