Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc Function
Sorry, I accidentally sent my message to James instead of the mailing list. Let me recap what we discussed off-list. James E Lang wrote: >Correction: I meant SUMIF() rather than SUM(). > >Corrected formula: > >=IF(___(A$3:A7,A7,Q$3:Q7)=___(A$3:A7,A7,R$3:R7),SUMIF(A$3: A7,A7,R$3:R7)-SUMIF(A$3:A7,A7,Q$3:Q7),"Error 4") If I understand the formula correctly, you simply would not need a 3rd argument. As I see it, the formula is looking at the values in column A and checking which of those values matches the condition in A7. Then you want the formula to count the cells in column Q where the match occurred. But it does not matter which cells you count, because you only count the matches in column A (which has nothing to do with column Q or R). It seems difficult to explain what I mean, let me try an illustration: There are 5 apples (3 red and 2 green) and 5 pears. Each apple has a number from 1 to 5 and each pear has a number from 1 to 5. Count the pears that have numbers that corrospond to red apples. The answer would be 3. But you could just have counted how many apples are red. Maybe you just want something like this: =IF(countif(Q$3:Q7,A7) = countif(R$3:R7,A7),SUMIF(A$3: A7,A7,R$3:R7)-SUMIF(A$3:A7,A7,Q$3:Q7),"Error 4") That said, it is difficult to visualise the goal of the formula. I suspect I don't quite know what you want. If you could upload a sample document (with sensitive data removed) it might be easier to understand.

Gilles wrote: > I want to move cell A1 to A2 with the mouse: This is easy enough. You just select the cell, and then click-and-drag it - you don't need to press any keys on the keyboard. The trick is to actually *select* the cell. Try this: To move A1:A2 to B3:B4, simply select A1:A2 and click-and-drag A1:A2 to B3:B4. To move A1 to A2 (which was your original question), click on A1 (don't release the mouse button yet). Then drag the mouse down (or to the side) to select more than one cell (still don't release the mouse button). Then drag the mouse back to A1 (while still holding the mouse button). When the mouse is over A1, you can release the mouse button again. Now A1 is actually *selected*. You can now drag A1 to A2 (or wherever you wanted it). In the examples above, you could also use the keyboard to select the cell. To do this, hold down shift, press down, press up and release shift. Now you can drag the cell to wherever you want.

As far as I know, there is no difference between a .dot and a .doc file (except the extension). I believe MS Word just treats a .dot file as a template and a .doc file as a document. So you should be able to work with a .doc and just change the file extension after you've saved.

I prefer using OFFSET(), rather than INDIRECT(). Here's an example:
Column A contains the name of fruits, column B contains the quantity.
Let's say A2 contains "Apples", B2 contains "12", A3 contains "Pears"
and B3 contains "7". If I want to know how many "Pears" I have, I
would use something like this:
= OFFSET(A2, MATCH("Pears", A2:A3, 0) - 1, 1)
The result would be "7" (the value in the second column).
Obviously, you can replace "Pears" with "Apples" or a cell reference.
> Perfect - PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Ok then. Just thought I'd give you another suggestion.

I believe this is a known bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33463). It seems that Libreoffice does not save comment when exporting (saving) to docx format (other formats seem OK). As a workaround, you could consider saving to a different format, like odt. Word 2007 and later supports odf version 1.1, as far as I know. Alternatively, you could also use the legacy doc format, which is more supported than docx. >From the bug report, it seems that a fix will be coming for this bug, but I cannot say for sure.

I think MS Office should read (and write) rtf. If you don't have complex documents, then I don't think there will be a problem. But adding tables, footnotes/endnotes, headers/footers, pictures etc. may be a little unstable (you might get severe layout changes). As regards doc files not being "compatible", I'd take that with a pinch of salt. Certainly, not all doc files are the same, and there are cases where they don't work properly. However, as far as I know, rtf is less standardised and thus usually a little worse off. If you've made your choice of format (and used it for a while), please provide feedback to us. It may help someone in future.

(Running > version 3.4.4) To change the default format when saving: "Tools" -> "Options..." -> "Load/Save" -> "General". Under the section "Default file format and ODF settings" you can change the default file format for saving. Under "Document type" click the drop-down and select "Text document". Then under the "Always save as" drop-down, select the format you want. I would suggest not using "Rich Text Format" (rtf), for various reasons; it may be better to stick with the older "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003" (doc) format.

I find that the selection is actually extended to K1:L155, which means it selects column K and column L (but not the entire column, only up to row 155). This is very strange behaviour, as it actually extends the selection to the *left*, although I pressed Ctrl + Shift + RightArrow.

Just to be clear, Latex is a completely different program from LibreOffice. LibreOffice (Math) does not need Latex. So if you want to use LibreOffice Math (or any other component of LibreOffice), you don't need to know about Latex. But I'm sure the ability to import Latex equations would be much appreciated by people that use Latex extensively.

I don't know much about multiple user logins, but the behaviour you describe is obviously undesirable. Just as a test, you could try to open Task Manager (Ctrl+ Shift + Esc) and kill all the LO/OOo processes. I don't know the name of the quickstarter process, but the "main" process(es) is/are usually "soffice.bin" and/or "soffice.exe". There should be a tick-box at the bottom "Show processes from all users"; can you see the other user's quickstarter if that is ticked? > 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?

I've also had trouble with administrative privileges on a Windows 7 PC. What I've done is to bypass the whole installation process entirely by using the portable version of LibreOffice. It is meant to run from a flash drive (but can run off a hard drive as well) and therefore has no registry entries. The advantage being that you can have it on a PC without admin privileges.

I'm curious, are you not able to select LibreOffice from the "Choose default program..." dialogue at all? Are you not able to browse to the exe file(s)?

You can have a look at the download page here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ You will notice that there are two versions avaialble: 3.3.4 and 3.4.3. The earlier version (3.3.4) is based on code that has been around for longer and is still supported. However, I would advise using the newer version (3.4.3) as it contains extra features (both versions are considered stable). I don't know if updating your installation would solve your problem, but I think it's worth a shot.

It doesn't actually change the size of the text, it just zooms in and out (so it appears larger). The zoom is not a function of the document, so it doesn't change the file when you zoom out and save. Accidentally zooming usually happens when a person tries to scroll up or down. If you hold the CTRL (STRG in German) key while using the mouse wheel, it will zoom rather than scroll. I think most office applications have the same shortcut.

What exactly do you mean by the code "working"? Do you mean that in
LibreOffice you get some kind of error? Or do you not get the result
that you were expecting?
If you could give a little details as to what you want this code to
do, it might help as well. There may be a completely different
(easier) way to do what you want.
> =INDIRECT(CELL("ADDRESS",INDEX($P$28933:$P$29998,MATCH(MIN(Q28931:Q29998),Q28931:Q29998,
I notice that your references are a little strange. The first
argument in the INDEX() formula starts from a different row than all
the other references, but ends on the same row as the other references
(starts at 28933 instead of 28931). Is this intentional? Could you
explain what the purpose of the code/formula is?
As this is a slightly older post, I suspect that my reply may be unnecessary.

I don't know if someone has compiled a list of short-cut keys. But what you could do is to have a look at the assigned keys. If you open the "customise" window (in Windows: "Tools" -> "Customise..." -> "Keyboard" tab) you can see a list of all the short-cuts. It's not really a user friendly list (if you're just browsing short-cut keys) but I think it's pretty comprehensive. You may need to toggle between the master "LibreOffice" and the individual "Writer", "Calc" etc. components to see all of the short-cuts (there's a radio button, top-right). As far as I know, the short-cut commands are also shown next to the commands in the menus. So, if you click on "File", it shows that the short-cut for "Open" is "Ctrl+O". Something I really appreciate, I must say.

I've uploaded my solution, it is available here: http://www.2shared.com/file/xd4qTjaB/TestMoveZFormation.html Please take note that the macros included in the file are very purpose-built. I have not made them very general; I doubt anyone would find them useful except the requester. A few notes: 1. There are 2 (two) macros included: insertAndMoveInZFormation and deleteAndMoveInZFormation 2. insertAndMoveInZFormation inserts a single cell and moves the other cells right (wrapping at column 7) 3. deleteAndMoveInZFormation deletes a single cell and moves the other cells left (wrapping at column 2) 4. Neither the insert nor the delete macro can handle multiple cells at a time (select only one cell) 5. If you run either macro, you can't undo 6. The "insert..." macro doesn't work well if there are blank cells later on (try to keep blank cells to a minimum) 7. The "delete..." macro only works if the next cell is not empty 8. The "delete..." macro warns you (basically every time you use it) that you can't undo I've only spent about an hour on this, so it is not thoroughly tested. Please use it on a dummy sheet and test it until you understand how it works. I recommend having backups and saving often. I don't think these macros are harmful, but you never know. These macros aren't signed or anything. If you don't trust me or the macros, don't run them (I don't take offence if you don't trust me). I've written these macros in MS Excel's VBA and just made them work in LibO (sorry, I'm not really used to StarBasic yet). @Llweyn, I've also attached the file to this email (on bcc), so you don't have to download it from the link provided.

It seems that the responses are pretty varied, and not really consistent. For instance, it crashed my LibO 3.3.2 in Win7, and Sigrid Carrera's LibO 3.3.3 (not sure what OS). But it worked on El Cico's LibO 3.3.2 and Dave Griffiths' LibO 3.3.3. I've tested it again today, and I found it working in both OOo 3.2.0 and LibO 3.3.2 (which didn't work yesterday).

[libreoffice-users] xls file causing crash
Hi all, I have a file (saved in the xls format) that crashes LibO 3.3.2. It's a fairly straightforward file, only has 4 data points and a chart. MS Office 2007 opens it just fine. Could anyone comment whether they can open this file or not? I'm curious to find out whether the issue causing this crash has been resolved in the 3.4.x branch (or maybe 3.3.3). I've uploaded the file, it's available here: http://www.2shared.com/document/3WwWglyX/Non_contiguous.html This is just a dummy file which I created to test for another bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38734 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38746). Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact steps I used to create the file, so I can't easily narrow down to what causes the crash.

You could include the leading parenthesis as "text" by including it
between quotes. Something like:
"(" E = m c^2 " extra text after formula"
Or you could close off the parenthesis with a "none" at the end, something like:
left ( E = m c^2 right none " extra text after formula"
The two methods mentioned above won't help for the different fonts used though.

If you found something that works, great. You can safely ignore my
post if you want.

The "standard" scripting language used in LO is StarBasic (as far as I know), which is very much like VBA (visual basic for applications). I actually learned the language while writing VBA macros in MS Excel. Unfortunately I don't know of a good manual/tutorial for either. I personally dislike the Basic language, but it is useful sometimes. I'm not enthusiastic about it, but I think sticking to Basic would be the more "cross-compatible". I've imported a few Excel files into LO, and the VBA macros imported just fine (minor modifications are done to the code when imported).

I've had a look at the spreadsheet, and tried a few formulas. It seems that to do this with formulas is quite tricky and unfortunately I couldn't get it done.

But it's definitely possible with a macro. Would you be willing to use a macro? If a macro might work for you, let us know. I think someone might be willing to write one for you (maybe even me). If you aren't willing to use a macro, then I can think of another way to do it, though it's not quite as "pretty". You can have all the data (all the words) in a single column (or row). Then you can display those data (words) in the style you described. To add one more, you just add it to your column (or row).

After copying some files, test to see if the problem is back. If it seems stable (not crashing again) then you can go on to copy the next few files/folders.

I must admit, I was suspecting Win7 of acting strangely. Thanks for clarifying the behaviour. Does anyone know a workaround to get the commands listed to the console rather than the dialogue box (in Windows)? Or maybe how to get *all* of the text from the help dialogue (not truncated)?

Thanks NoOp, that's what I was looking for. The message window I described only lists the options up to "-infilter=" along with its description.

Just for interest's sake, on the Win7 system I'm using (running LibreOfficePortable 3.3.2), the help options specify single dashes, not double dashes. Not sure if it is OS or LibO-version specific.

You could also try to bypass the recovery process.

[libreoffice-users] Command line (convert) parameter(s)
Hi all, I've been looking into the command line parameters for LibO. Using these, it is possible to do some interesting things, such as converting from one format to another without having to run the LibO gui. An example of what I'm talking about is to convert your odt file to docx: soffice.exe -headless -convert-to docx Document_name.odt My problem is that I can't find this "-convert-to" parameter in any proper documentation. The best I can find is some web post or something that mentions it (but not discussed in detail), such as http://muthusuba.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-called-hidden-features-of.html and http://notes.benv.junerules.com/commandline-xlsdoc-to-pdf-converting/ On the wiki pages I found references to some of the command line parameters for LibO (and OOo): http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Command_Line_Arguments Most of these commands can also be seen by typing "soffice.exe -?". But neither the wiki pages nor the command line help (see below) mention the "-convert-to" parameter. Does anyone know where to find more information? I just have a sneaking suspicion that there might be other parameters that I'm not aware of (yet) that could prove useful. On a second point, "soffice.exe -?" is a little tricky. Instead of listing the available command parameters to the console, it opens up a "Help Message..." window (this is in Windows7 x64). Not all of the text fits into this window, and I can't scroll or resize the window. So in all fairness, it is possible that the "-convert-to" parameter is mentioned there, I just can't see it in the window. Does anyone know how I can get the help info to display properly?

Sorry, lee. I assumed your gender (by saying "he" and "him"), which
is generally considered bad etiquette. I apologise.

How did you create an icon like that? At first I thought it should be
fairly easy, but when I tried, I couldn't find a way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] default type and setting for pasting
Hi Roxy and John, I believe you two are using different parts of LibO. It sounds like John is using Calc, while Roxy is using Writer. The paste special options in these two modules are different. Roxy, your "drop-down arrow paste special" method works well. But it does not work well in all cases. For instance, go to a blog or website with a lot of text. Now, to paste a paragraph into Writer you would normally select the paragraph, copy (Ctrl+C), select the point in Writer where you want to paste it, click the "paste special" drop-down arrow, select "unformatted text" and it's done. In this case it works well. But now, copy and paste every second or third word from 3 or 4 paragraphs. Now you need to do 100 or so paste specials, then 1 or 2 extra mouse clicks make it fairly tedious. From what I read, it seems that lee is copying and pasting a few words at a time, but it is done quite frequently. So in lee's case, he would probably prefer something else. And it looks like he found a solution that works for him. lee, I think it should be possible to assign a short-cut key to the icon you created. As you probably don't want a keyboard button, maybe you can try to assign it to the middle mouse button? Just a thought, I could be wrong.

They work even if "Enable experimental (unstable) features" is unticked. However, *recording* macros is not a fully polished feature, so it's considered experimental.

I notice the part &"K4"
I think you may have confused your syntax here. In Calc formulas, the
ampersand (&) symbol is actually the concatenation operator. I
suspect you're coming from a C/C++ environment.
> Here's the calculation formula for the string:
> =CONCATENATE("'",K2,K1,"-",K3,"',N$4")
Another way of doing this would be:
= "'" & K2 & K1 & "-" & K3 & "',N$4"
It should do the same as your concatenate example, just another way of
writing it
Regards
Stephan

I do know how to stop a running macro, but thanks for giving the suggestion any way (might help someone else on the mailing list). > But way do you want to disable a macro, after you allowed to run it? It's not really something that you would normally require, I know that. It's just that I opened a document with macros in it (which I had created myself, nothing malicious in there). Some of the macros that are assigned to events were broken (some syntax errors or something, long story). Every time I selected a different cell (in Calc) it tries to execute a macro, which fails with an error. It annoyed me, and I didn't want to debug that macro at the time. I just wondered if anyone knew if I could disable the macro without closing and reopening (more for future reference). I agree with your sentiment that disabling macros should be done when opening the file. It is only curiosity that sparked my question, not a real need. Thanks for your response.

[libreoffice-users] Disable macro in an open document
Does anyone know of a way to disable a macro in a document that has already been opened? Just to clarify, I don't mean "when opening a document".

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I reset all settings?
Hi all, just to mention it explicitly: you don't need to uninstall and re-install if you've renamed the user profile directory. It is already mentioned in the tutorial (http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=58401#p58401), and most of the posts here did imply that. I just wanted to state it clearly, in case there is someone reading this thread that might get the wrong impression and think that it's required to rename the user profile *and* re-install LibO. Just renaming is sufficient, LibO will create a new user profile directory the next time you launch it. The renamed user profile will not be modified.

I believe there may be some slight issues due to the fact that both LibO and OOo have the same process name (soffice.exe). I vaguely remember hearing/reading that Windows gets slightly confused in the "Open with..." dialogue, in that it doesn't "remember" the default correctly when you try to change it. But like I said, I don't remember the details very well. You could download LibreOfficePortable (portableapps.com/libreofficeportable). It doesn't involve any registry entries as it is made to run from a flash-disk (all the "settings" are contained in sub folders rather than the registry). Version 3.3.2 is available.

There's another way to do it, which looks pretty straightforward: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Getting_Started/File_associations The first half of the instructions indicate how to associate the file types *during* installation. The second half of the instructions tell you how to change that *after* installation.
