[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta/ revised files won't save normally
Hi Tom, * I did get helpful responses from Pedro (pedl...@gmail.com) and NoOp ( gl...@sbcglobal.net). * The problem I described was apparently specific to LO 3.5.0 Beta 0 (which, according to Pedro, should not even have been released). * A few days after I wrote, LO 3.5.0 Beta 1 came out. It did not have that particular problem. * Thanks for following up! - Steve A. *=== Tom Davies (tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk) wrote*: Date: Tue 12.20, 10:59 AM Hi :) Sorry if you didn't get any good answers!

[libreoffice-users] Looking for Old Source for LibreOffice (OOo)
Hi Joel, FileHippo has versions of Open Office install files all the way back to V1.1.5: http://www.filehippo.com/download_openoffice/history/ I don't know about source codes, if that's distinct from the install files. - Steve Anderson *=== Joel Madero wrote:* Date: Tue, Dec 6, 9:47 AM Re: [libreoffice-users] Looking for Old Source for LibreOffice (OOo) Hi All, I'm hoping someone can link me to a mirror that has old (2.0.0 - Present) source for OOo. I'm trying to track down a bug to see how long it's been around and hopefully to find the source of the bug but as of yet have had a really difficult time finding the old source code.

[libreoffice-users] Template dialogue
* All the previous versions of Java Runtime Environment are also available at FileHippo (http://www.filehippo.com/download_jre_32/). * It's not necessary to open an account there. * version 6 update 28 is not there either. *=== webmaster for Kracked Press Productions wrote*: date: Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 5:33 AM Re: [libreoffice-users] Template dialogue Yes you are able to get copies of the earlier JREs. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html It takes a little effort to find it, since they do not want you to install the older ones. Although they have version 6 update 29 as the newest, they do not have update 28 in the archive. You have to create an account with Oracle though. To be honest, if you run Linux, I prefer to use whatever the default JRE is. I went to the Package Manager and searched for JRE and I saw the package called default JRE. If you run Windows, or Linux, and do not want to create an account with Oracle, I have most of the Windows versions downloaded, and could download the Linux ones. Then I could send the ones you need via an off-list email. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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] Demise of Open Office
Hi John, * I'm another older person who previously used OpenOffice and now uses LibreOffice. * You can see a partial answer to your question at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libreoffice, under the heading Initial release. * Yes, I would advise you to start using LibreOffice immediately. - Regards, Steve Anderson *=== John Gregson (jfgreg...@shaw.ca) wrote*: Date: Thu, Nov 24, 10:44 AM Re: [libreoffice-users] Demise of Open Office I am an older person, with limited computer knowledge, using Open Office 3.3; on Win 7.

[libreoffice-users] Writer: make comment refer to selected text rather than cursor point
Hi guys, Thanks for the useful suggestions! - Steve A. *=== Jerry wrote:* Since the comment will always have a single location as a starting point why not just highlight the selection using the highlight tool on the Formatting Toolbar and then insert the comment? That should make it clear that your comment refers to the entire highlighted text. - Jerry *=== Dan Lewis wrote: * Just a personal thought that at least would appear to do what is wanted: apply a highlight color to the selected text. Then click in the middle of the selected text and add the comment. -- Dan *=== Tom Davies wrote:* Hi :) I am never quite sure what people mean by comments as the term seems to be used differently in different places. * Can you select an area of text and then -- Format - Character -- and then use one of those tabs to add something like alternate text or something?

Comments are placed on text cursor position. * To browse comments, click Navigation (this is small circle in lower right of LO window, right above zoom) and select Note (in lower row). Then you can jump to next and previous note by using double-arrow buttons above and below of Navigation button. * If I recall correctly, in LO 3.3 there was a bug which prevented you from scrolling document if text cursor is in note.
