Re: [libreoffice-users] Em-dash
I see what you mean. I probably didn't look closely enough at your examples. Rightly or wrongly however, I always have the en-dash with spaces fore and aft, and never use the em-dash. To be honest, until relatively recently I just used a hyphen anyway. I suppose that comes from having used a typewriter for years before WP became widely available.

The detail is important: word1[space][one (or two) hyphen (minus)][space]word2[space] ...the (double) hyphen (minus) is converted into en-dash, whereas: word1[double hyphen (minus)]word2[space] ...the double hyphen (minus) is converted into em-dash. Note the difference of space characters. Using the colon characters, the replacement is performed precisely as desired, whether there are space characters adjacent to the words or not.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Badly formatted document
I don’t think this is an old version of LO. I suspect it was written in word, then the pdf produced, then the Open Document version created from the PDF. I have both the PDF and the ODT versions. There is no HTML version. I can’t use the PERL script. I don’t know PERL and I suspect by the time I was confident enough to try I could have cut and pasted everything I need manually! I put the PDF through an online converter and got a very clean DOCX version, so that at least is a start. The document uses page styles. What I find confusing is that the original ODT version has 91 custom page styles for 47 pages. The DOCX version has only 39 page styles, which still seems a lot. It isn’t something I use a lot though, so I don’t know if this is normal or an artefact of the conversion. It doesn’t appear to use footers, but text in a frame fixed to the bottom by inserting enough line breaks. Again this may be from the conversion. To put this in context, this is a policy document from a public body, originally issued for information in PDF and ODT formats. Both versions use columns, which makes reading onscreen a bit of a nightmare. It also includes tables split across columns and also across pages, without repeating headers. All in all I get the impression that the original document layout is a bit kludged together. While that may be a feature of the conversion, given the mess the ODT file is in, I can’t see any benefit from providing it, other than ticking an accessibility box and if tested would probably fail. I can’t see a screen reader making much sense of it.

I have been sent a graphic heavy document in ODT format. However it looks as if it has been badly converted from a pdf file. The layout is scrambled, headers don’t align properly and there are a host of other issues. It is also in columns. Is there a simple way to strip out everything bar the words? I have tried saving it as a txt file, but this loses a lot of the paragraph numbering and introduces other layout issues. Saving in rtf format is even worse.

[libreoffice-users] Starting page numbering in a document on the second page
I have a long document (156 pages) plus a cover page. I want the cover page to be unnumbered and the numbering to start with the second page of the document. I’ve tried using page styles and got the second page to show as 1, but the header also appeared on the cover page and also as Page 1.

RE: [libreoffice-users] changing currency in a spreadsheet
How are the cells displaying the $ sign formatted? I’m guessing they use the currency format. There’s probably a way to automatically select currency cells and change the currency, but that’s outside my expertise. Failing that you could simply edit the $ settings to use the £ symbol in the correct place with the appropriate comma and decimal point settings. That’s a bit clunky though. If by any chance they are not formatted as currency, but something else, you can probably edit that setting to switch the currency symbols. That seems unlikely though since you say this is a financial spreadsheet.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Images silently disappears from write document
I have a feeling that I have seen similar behaviour, but where many of the images are inserted as hyperlinks. It is a document of my wife’s not mine so I only see it indirectly. She suspects it occurs if the document is closed down too quickly, ie before all the images have time to load. They usually reappear next time, but not always. ; Sent fromMailfor Windows 10 From:Bo SiltbergSent:11 January 2021 15:03=To:users@global.libreoffice.orgSubject:[libreoffice-users] Images silently disappears from write document Hi, I have a large document with lots of images. All image files are stored on disk externally from the document, in a directory just beside the odt file. I use relative links to them from the odt file (inserting them as link). Now and then, *a large amount of images suddenly disappears from the odt* as if they never were inserted into the document. I see this fault first after having closed and reopened the document. I have lost about 100 images each time... The image file itself is intact, nothing wrong with it. I can insert it again. I have never *seen* that an image gets missing when I just do save, but since close and open does not update the file(?), the bug seem to occur=in the backgroundduring save. After save, the images are still there in the opened document and I can continue adding more. The image count in *Files-Properties-Statistics* still show the correct old number as it should be when I open a faulty odt, but I am uncertain how this count is kept, whether it actually counts the image tags. It's behaviour is strange. What does the reset button do? When fiddling around with reset, OK and other stuff I suddenly see a lower image count here which probably reflects the true amount. I have monitored this count in order to detect when images disappear, but obviously that count was a false indication. I suspect the fault occur at save, but I don't *see* the fault until I close and reopen the document? The missing images are not part of the *Edit-Links to external files*... And they are not part of the *Images* list in the *Navigator*. If I open the xml file inside the odt, there is no trace of the image at the place where it should be located. So, the image is truly gone from the xml code. One interesting observation is that images of type *.svg* seem to create a png copy inside LO, which is stored in the Pictures directory of the odt. I have noticed that LO sometimes fails to write all of them. Some may be missing, but after opening the document and saving it again, they reappear (not 100.0% sure about this). I'm using the latest stable version 6.4.x of libreoffice. I first saw this problem in September. Not sure for how long it has been there. The document has about 1400 pages with about 1800 images. I *am* aware of its size... It has an old history, starting in the old version of Google Docs, to openoffice and then to libreoffice writer. I wonder if there is a way to cleanthe xml file? To my question, is this a known problem? Is redmine the place to report it? A more pressing question is *how I can monitor this bug. How do a get a true count of images* in the document that I can use regularly to monitor this? I cannot get a grip on the behaviour of the statistics page. Do I need to write a macro, or a python script that reads the odt? I can try 1000 things to isolate this bug, but I stop here in case someone can point me in a good direction. p; Thanks Bo -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Closest I've found is Ctrl + ; that inserts current date
and Ctrl + Shift + ; that inserts the current time.
Both seem to be the fixed value?
But have found no way to do that in a formula??
Recall long ago in either Lotus or Quattro, you could use now() and then
{Calc} and it would convert the current time to the fixed value. But that
was long long ago. Macro recorder doesn't seem to record
that kind of
stuff, and entering formulas don't either.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Static vs. dynamic time
To: libreofficeus...@global.libreoffice.org
When I have needed a static date or time in Libreoffice Calc, I have found
that the only way to do this is to enter the date or time directly into the
spreadsheet and not to use a formula.
As an example of this, I have been using Calc to measure the drift of
t;timepieces compared to a time standard at weekly intervals over a 26 week
period. I pre-enter the dates at which the measurements are to be made.
At the required date, I simply enter the time as shown on the timepiece and
the time as shown on the time standard at the same instance. These times
are then converted to seconds and the difference between in seconds is then
calculated and charted to show the time drift. These times and dates are
static and can be used for later referral.
sp;
I am not sure if there is a way to use a formula or macro to enter a static
; date. If there is, it is beyond my capabilities. Entering dates and times
directly seems very straightforward to me.

Hi,
I use the formula IF(A1t;;NOW()) copied to every cell of column B.
It gives me the correct time every time I type anything on a line of column
A.
But this is refreshed constantly by the time of the computer, not the time
I
typed something in column A.
I tried looking for a static version of NOW() or playing with iterations
(probably not correctly) or looking for a way to stop recomputing this
t;specific column to no avail.
; Is there a way to set on column B the time of the typing on each line of
column A and keep it as a static time.
I am usually good with formulas, but this very basic need escapes me.
As far as usability is concerned, a STATICNOW() function seems much more
=useful than the current NOW() function. Or inserting a 0,1 argument for
staticness or something.
So far, I am forced to type or insert the time manually each time.
Let me repeat it: Manually each time! Me! ;)
Thanks,
Chimel.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Does LO normally appear in Windows 10 start menu?
Right click on the icon on the desk top and select Pin to Start or Pin to Taskbar, whichever suits you best.
