[libreoffice-users] Re: How to transfer styles among documents created from the same template?
Johannes Sixt j...@kdbg.org wrote in message news:4f21b5e1.3000...@kdbg.org... I have custom document template, and from this template a handful software manuals were authored. Styles were used extensively. Now it's time to modernize the look of the manuals, but we don't want to repeat the style changes in all manuals. (That's what styles are for, aren't they?) With MS Word (2000), the .doc files recorded the template. Styles can be marked so that when they were changed while editing one of the .doc files, that style changes were propagated to the template. Later, when one of the other .doc files was opened, it copied all styles from the template (automatically), which effectivly updates the other file as well. What is the workflow with LibreOffice to propagate style changes between .doc files created from the same template? I looked at the documentation and help pages around the template manager, but found only means to copy styles manually.

[libreoffice-users] LO Conflicts with OOo
I installed the new portable LO (http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable) on a USB stick. When I try to run it, it complains that there is another copy running. It seems that this is because OpenOffice's (non-portable) Quickstarter is running on the machine. Of course, OOo's Quickstarter is running for multiple users who happen to be logged on to the machine (Win XP Pro) so, although I can kill mine, I can't kill the others. Is it right that a *portable* version should be prevented from running by a mere office application (not anti virus or lock-down software or parental control or anything similar) installed on the machine? Is it right that a *portable* program should be prevented from running by some process owned by another *non-admin* user? Is it right that LO is interfered with by OOo? Or is at least one of these a bug? Why should I not be able to run LO and OOo at the same time on the same machine?

Hi, Writer has the ability so define a number of rows at the top of a table that will repeat if the table extends over the page. http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Repeating_a_Table_Header_on_a_New_Page This sort of functionality would be great in Calc. At present it is necessary to manually manipulate the sheet to put a header at the top of each page. Even if the process is not dynamic as for writer. It would be good if a tool could be created that automatically moved the headers to the right spot (~ automatic cut and paste based on page size). Assuming a square table a designated number of rows at the top of the table could be tagged as header rows by the user. These could then be propagated down the matrix and inserted at the top of where the current page break occurs. These duplicate headers are also marked as headers but also that they are duplicates. If the page size changes and the tool run again the duplicate headers are removed and the process repeated. This sort of routine would save considerable time manipulating quite sizable tables that can extend over many pages. snip From Calc's Help pages under HeadingsRepeating rows/columns as === begin quote === Printing Rows or Columns on Every Page If you have a sheet that is so large that it will be printed multiple pages, you can set up rows or columns to repeat on each printed page.

It doesn't work on my copy of LO 3.3RC1 on my Mandriva 2010.1 boxes (all
3). I downloaded the EN-UK and FR language packs but the dictionaries
did not work.
I then downloaded the dictionaries from here:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries?cid=926385 and
loaded them through the extension manager. The loaded dictionaries now
all work as they should.
Please distinguish:
* spelling check (sometimes + thesaurus): e.g. dict-de_DE_*.oxt
dict-fr_FR_*.oxt
* grammar check (for many languages):extension-languagetool package
or LanguageTool_*.oxt
For systemwide installation please unpack the .oxt packages (= .zip)
into the directory: /opt/libreoffice/share/extensions/
or do it with a simple script:
---
| #!/bin/bash
|
| INST=/opt/libreoffice/share/extensions/language-grammar-tool
| unzip LanguageTool*.oxt -d ${INST}
---
After all please logout and login (perhaps twice) and all should run.
I have tested it - it runs for me.
Have a nice day,

Thanks Joachim for the information.
I just hope that if users need to install dictionaries that they will be
accessible to them through the Tools - Language - Install
dictionaries. This does NOT lead users to the dictionaries page. It leads
them to the:
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List?lang=en site
where there are NO dictionaries available except for a very few (2-3). The
real download site for now is:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries?cid=926385

Perhaps I'm being naive or overly simplistic but why are extensions for
LibreOffice to be found on an OpenOffice.org web site?
