In Cell C1 put =IF(B1="MB",A1*1000,A1)

[libreoffice-users] How to prevent Impress from changing font size?

2019-05-26 Thread Malcolm Jaros
Using Impress Version: 6.0.7.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when I add to text in a 
slide the font size automatically reduces to keep the text within the text box. 
Can I prevent this auto resizing of the font? 
If so, how do I do this?

Thank you all for the informative and helpful responses.
Much useful knowledge about both LO and PDF has come to light (and solved my 
original problem).
More strength to the LibreOffice community!

I am using "Version: 6.1.5.2 (x64)". Supposedly, you can force font 
substitution. I have not tried it.

Choose *Tools - Options'* /- LibreOffice - Fonts'   From: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Fonts/

You must click in the box next to "Apply replacement table" before you 
can select the substitute fonts.

Hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Draw changes font when opening pdf text file.

2019-03-18 Thread Malcolm Jaros
It occurs to me that Draw does not recognise, or does not have, the font used 
for the original document and substitutes one that it does have.
My problem is that the original, serif, font is being substituted by a 
monopitch font.

Greetings All. 
I would like to add a few words to the text embedded in a pdf file. 
When the file is opened in Draw the text is displayed, and subsequently saved, 
in a different font from the that in the original file. 
This unfortunately changes the line length and hence the page layout, which 
makes the amended copy unusable. 
How can I prevent this?

Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt letter

2018-11-25 Thread Malcolm Jaros
Just a thought. Ubuntu 18.10 is a new distro and less thoroughly tested than 
the LTS version 18.04.
If you do not get this problem in 18.04 perhaps you should stay with that for a 
while.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt letter

I had a problem similar to this on windows 98, after I installed a legal
copy of word perfect and all 1100 fonts it came with.  Apparently windows
98 had a limit of about 500 fonts ... and above that it would get confused
after a while.

However,  more recently I used Ubuntu studio 12, which ships with about
1200 fonts,  and ported those to wasta 14 and 16 en mass. I had no issues.
I haven't ported this many to wasta 18 yet.



On Sun, Nov 25, 2018, 4:45 PM James  It is not a format problem because sometimes it works.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Two formulas in one cell?

2018-06-02 Thread Malcolm Jaros
That is an impressive solution from Michael but, not knowing the layout of your 
spreadsheet, I wonder why you cannot simply insert a new column adjacent to the 
cell in question so that each formula can be in a separate cell.

Would be nice if you could put actually wanting with examples.


You can get the formating you need using the text command, and you can 
see the diffiernt format option using the cell format, and it shows examples of 
the format code. Just picked a longer one for the date format. Then just a

regular number format used for the second.

Concatenate works...to a point.


Another problem is that first formula must provide a result formatted as
a date, let's say June 2.The second formula must provide a result as a
day-number-of-the-year (which I haven't figured out how to do yet).
Using concatenate the result is a 5 digit number returned for the first
formula even though the cell is formatted as a  D.


How can these format requirements be maintained?


Thanks,


Carl

The answer to this question is very similar to that for the almost
identical question that you asked (and had answered) last November 21st:
http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Formula-and-text-in-same-cell-td4227487.html
.


If a cell contains a formula, the result of that formula is what
appears in the cell, so having two formulae would be simply
contradicting yourself. As you already know, if you wanted F30-2 you
would not expect to use =F30 and then =-2 separately but instead
=F30-2. In the same way, you must construct a single formula that
creates the combination of values that you ask for. You can combine
results using the CONCATENATE() function or, more simply, the
operator.Try:
=F30-260;A10+4


Incidentally, do please put your name in the real name field of your
mail messages: it's an elementary courtesy to those offering to help you.


I trust this helps.
