Re: [libreoffice-users] Transferring Markdown Documents to LibreOffice
H wrote: I should have been clearer. If you read my previous message you will see that I am not looking for what you are describing, rather the ability to read/write document and presentation files in markdown format. This runs into the same problem -- a modern presentation program (such as LibreOffice's) is capable of recording many things in ODF files that can't be converted into markdown. The nature of your problem is that you seek to go from a very capable modern format (such as ODF) to a simple format which, by design, can "only addresses issues that can be conveyed in plain text" (per https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). The Multimarkdown editor supposedly can create OO files but since it does not run on my systems I have not been able to give it a try. Going from markdown to ODF should be fine, going the other way is naturally going to be lossy. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] open a Mac numbers file in calc?
Dave Stevens wrote: anyone know if/how? will rtfm if directed You don't mention a lot of pertinent information including what OS you're using, what version of LibreOffice you're using, and what version of Numbers file you are working with so it's hard to help with specific advice. I recommend trying to load the Apple Numbers file; if the open file dialog only shows OpenDocument files, try changing the filetype pop-up to show all files (some file prompters will let you do this). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#Supported_file_formats mentions "Apple Numbers '09 or earlier (basic spreadsheets for Numbers)" from version 5.0 released on 2015-08-05. If this doesn't work, try sharing the Apple Numbers file by posting it to a globally-accessible hoster (such as archive.org) so others can try opening it and converting it for you. You can also try using Numbers to load the file you have and export the data you want to keep (pictures, sounds, tables of data, etc.) into files other programs can load (pictures as TIFFs or PDFs; sounds as WAV, AIFF, or FLAC files; tables of data as ODF, CSV, or some other format commonly used). In theory one of these approaches should let you keep the data you care about, import that data into a free software spreadsheet, and avoid future file format lock-in such as you currently have with Apple Numbers which is proprietary software. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Add Dictionary Online

It seems that I can only create a new dictionary on a word-by-word basis on the user end, and there doesn't seem to be the option for me to submit directly to the site that Writer links me to when I click get more dictionaries online. Please help me install this thing. Thank you. It wasn't clear to me if you're trying to install a custom dictionary so you can use it when you run Writer or if you're trying to submit a dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org (the site I'm taken to when I click the Get more dictionaries online... link in Tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids). For personal use, consider visiting http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/build_scientific_names_dictionary_libreoffice which describes how to make a dictionary for hunspell, LibreOffice's spell checker, and how to get LibreOffice to see your new dictionary. For adding a dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org, I'd consider reading the site's how-to documentation for contributing an extension to the site, and then asking extensi...@otrs.documentfoundation.org if I had questions. I haven't gone through the process of submitting an LibreOffice extension there myself but I imagine part of that process involves filling out the form at http://extensions.libreoffice.org/@@hosting-your-extension so the site moderators know what to expect from your contribution. If you decide to share your medical terminology dictionary, thanks for doing that. Such a dictionary sure sounds helpful. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: All TDF files corrupt
MR ZenWiz wrote: I rebooted (after the kernel update) and all seems well again. Still wondering why that would happen On most OSes (including GNU/Linux) I doubt one can update (in other words, change) something as low-level as an operating system's kernel and continue to run the system normally. After the update and before the reboot, the new kernel is updated on the primary storage medium and the old kernel is still running in memory. I'd imagine that there are all sorts of kernel dependencies where the currently-running kernel and newly-installed kernel differ. Therefore you'll see lots of adverse effects for the currently running system which are resolved by getting everything rebased on the updated kernel. Hence kernel update packages are marked to require a reboot as soon as possible. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Issue resolved -- system needed updating
MR ZenWiz wrote: Now if I knew why the update got stuck running depmod for more than ten minutes, I'd feel more comfortable. Oh, well. It's hard to say without knowing what was happening at the time. I can only guess it took some time to identify and remove your oldest kernel and all of its unique dependencies (files that aren't shared by any other package) in order to free up space for the newest kernel and its dependencies, plus manipulate whatever configuration files needed changing to accommodate the new kernel, plus do any other ordinary package work performed when installing/removing any package. And on top of all that, do all the other activity the system was also doing at the time. But this is clearly a system administration issue and not related to LibreOffice per se.

[libreoffice-users] Calc SYLK support error?
I was reading the SYLK entry in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYmbolic_LinK_%28SYLK%29 and came across the following short SYLK file content: ID;P C;Y1;X1;KRow 1 C;Y2;X1;KRow 2 C;Y3;X1;KTotal C;Y1;X2;K11 C;Y2;X2;K22 C;Y3;X2;K0;ER1C2+R2C2 E which I copied and pasted into a UTF-8 text file with newline line endings named test.slk. I loaded test.slk into two builds of LibreOffice Calc: - Version 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on GNU/Linux 64-bit - Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 9e9821abd0ffdbc09cd8c52eaa574fa09eb08f2) on Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Both systems had all OS updates installed as of the time/date on this email. I expected to get what the Wikipedia page described -- a table with two columns, three rows, and one sum: Row 1|11 Row 2|22 Total|33 but instead I get the following on both aforementioned Calc versions in both OSes: Row 1|11 Row 2|22 Total|0 (I'm using | to show where the cell ends/starts, not that theres a literal vertical bar anywhere in the SYLK file or Calc output) I'm seeing the K value for Y3;X2; (from the penultimate line of my SYLK file) instead of the computed value 33. Also, when I focus the cell in column 2 row 3 in both versions of Calc listed above I do not see the formula R1C2+R2C2. This formula is clearly specified in the SYLK file. I don't see any formula in this cell at all. Is this because Calc's SYLK support is broken or is something else going on? When I load my SYLK file into Gnumeric 1.10.17 on GNU/Linux I see 0 in the same position (column 2 row 3) but I also see the formula (=$B$1+$B$2) and when I recalculate the spreadsheet I get the 33 I expect. Thus, Gnumeric isn't recalculating on load but that's okay because no data is lost. Per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport I've searched https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=calc+sylk but found only 2 bugs neither of which seem applicable so I'm asking on this mailing list before filing a bug of my own against Calc.
