[libreoffice-users] MS Word compatability
Good evening I just noticed something trying to open a ".doc" file a translation agency sent me. It contains Japanese characters and some German words/short text portions. Opening the file in Word 2013 (don't have any other version) shows these characters neatly separated. Opening the same file with Writer, the text portions of adjacent Japanese/German overlap. One character width to be precise. Is there a trick to correct this behavior? Maybe related: I was working on a different file (.docx) received from an agency. I opened the original Word file with Writer and saved it each time in .docx format. When I delivered the file, however, the agency called me back and said, they cannot open the file. I tried that on my own computer: opening the Writer saved .docx file with Word and got an error message, saying the file is broken. Something about an xml code. Saving the file as .doc resolved the problem. (file size increased by 350%) Is that related to the above problem? If so, what should I do to prevent this kind of problem? (it makes me very unpopular with the translation agencies ...)

[libreoffice-users] blurred display
Good evening After Windows XP all Windows versions, AND all the Linux versions I have tried too, are obsessed with making the display of screen fonts as blurred and ugly as possible. Dozen of hours searching the net, asking the technical support of my computers, asking computer specialist ... led to the conclusion: there is NO way to fix this. Here one "question" related to Calc. I use Calc regularly. But I also use on my old computers Lotus123. (I know, it is very old and "discontinued". That does not prevent it from being VERY helpful and good. In some ways much better than Calc, Excel or any other spreadsheet application I know of.) On a Windows XP machine: Lotus123 line graph -> individual data points represented as squares (the computers choice, not mine); * these little squares in Lotus 123 have clear, distinct vertical and horizontal borders. A similar graph, with similar squares in Calc has "shadows" around 2 of the four sides = disappearance/display is blurred. Since the display is made of little squares anyway, what exactly is the advantage of having the display blurred??? If Lotus123 CAN display these squares like they would look when printed in a book, why can't Calc do that??? Computer, monitor, OS etc. ... everything else is the same, I presume nobody can blame my monitor, graphic card or whatever. Is there any way of telling Calc (preferably LibreOffice in general!) of displaying clear, distinct images (graphics, characters .. everything)? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Calc cell formats
Good evening I do have (naturally) a number of spread sheets. One is a list of my patients. It includes columns with name, sex, age, date of birth etc. I did create a page style, where I tried to set "numbers" to standard (because there are NO decimals!) and "date" to "1999/02/10". (the file originally was a Lotus123 file, saved in Excel 2003 format, read with Calc and then saved as ODS) However, when I apply that style, the "date" which had been unintelligible 5-digit numbers changes to the specified format, but at the same time columns with the age of patients (TWO digits, no calcuations whatsoever) and consecutive numbers switch to a row of three # =because they are to narrow to display the "1900/02/10) inserted. What is this nonsense all about??? Why is the age of a person (e.g. 33) be replaced by a nonsense date? Also, while I specified the date as given above, opening the very same file under kubuntu, it suddenly is reverse to 02/10/1999. Why? AND the style I specified does not seem to be retained. When I close the file and reopen (in particular if this is on another computer) it, the settings seem to have vanished. Thank you.

Someone else will have the same number but ending 2426. Does his telephone ring half as loud or half as often as mine? Of course not. Telephone numbers and postcodes can also start with a zero, which in these cases is significant, unlike leading zeroes in numbers. My telephone area code is 020: that's not "twenty". If your bank PIN was set (unwisely) to 0123, you could not get money out of an ATM using "123" or "00123". Nor do you get more money by having a "larger" PIN. James Bond was not Agent Seven (despite what UK telephone directories believe). It is possible - probably very easy - to enter similar data as a mixture of different types. If your "decimal separator" is set one way but you enter numeric data containing the alternative, it will be interpreted as text - or perhaps even as a date. Data prepared in a different locale may not be as it appears. There are two simple ways to guide you to see the nature of your data: o Set the horizontal alignment to Default. You can click whichever alignment button is selected in the Formatting toolbar to cancel it, or go to Format | Cells... | Alignment | Text alignment | Horizontal. Numbers will be right-aligned and text left-aligned. o Go to View | Value Highlighting. Numbers are shown in blue and text in black. Choose carefully what your data should be. Convert any in the wrong form. There are many ways to do this; the TEXT() and VALUE() functions may help. Paste results back over your data. Now control the appearance of your data by formatting it (Format | Cells...).

[libreoffice-users] Screen tearing in LibreOffice
Good evening I have been asking about this several times. (Most recently on 2/15 under the title "display") There are appearantly a number of technical terms to describe the phenomenons related to text display, but I do not know which of those is the appropriate ONE. "screen tearing" seems to refer to something a little different. Anyway, I noticed a connection to the degree of magnification. Maybe somebody knows something here? Since I have sufficiently large monitors - and because of age and poor eyesight -, I set the zoom level to something like 200%. When I set it to "optimal" on a 24" monitor, I get something over 200%. By accident I noticed, that the "screen tearing" DOES NOT (or at least not that annoyingly) occur at a zoom level of 140% or less. THAT seems to be the limit. Even on my high-spec machine. But I do not like to squint at my screen for 8 hours or more a day. Question. IS there a trick to avoid this phenomenon, where major text portions start to "run" into each other just like wet ink on paper and thus become unreadable? A solution would be VERY highly appreciated.

[libreoffice-users] update
Good evening Questions about updating LibreOffice. In the past I read somewhere that there is an option of "automatic" (online) updating for Linux, but not for Windows. In case of Windows I am "used" to download everything from scratch. However, trying to set up a Linux machine (Mint 17.2) for work, I noticed, that the description of the help documentation does NOT correspond to the actual situation: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Online_Update Choose Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Online Update On my LO 4.4 installation on the said Mint 17.2 machine there ***IS NO*** item called "online update". Is there a trick to do that? I also just downloaded the latest version 5.1, but that will not install either. I am supposed to: Right-click within the directory and choose "Open in Terminal" ... type: sudo dpkg -i *.deb but get the error: "dpkg: error processing archive *.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory" Any trick to solve this problem?

[libreoffice-users] file format problem?
Good evening I am not sure whether this is a LibreOffice (?) problem or just MY problem. It happened before, but I will describe the latest episode. I was working with Writer on a Word (.docx) file. As a translation job I was supposed to overwrite that file. The file contained images, tables and objects. After being 2/3 finished, I saved the file, went downstairs and wanted to continue working while having a coffee. However, when I opened the file, saved in SpiderOakOne, I noticed, that the latter 2/3 of the file were gone. Including 1/2 day of work. Even archived earlier versions of the same file showed only the first 1/3. Trying to open that file with MS Word, resulted in the following error: "File Format error at SAXParse Exception: [word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:hAnsi redefined Stream word/document.xml line 2, column 73305 (row,col)" The file contained originally about 4300 Japanese characters. Even though there was nothing on my screen beyond the first 1/3 of that file, its size did not change. When I deleted the second 2/3 of the original file, the original size of 470 kb shrank to 130 kb. After I retyped all the lost work and saved that first as .ODT and then later as .docx, file size was 23 and 16 kb respectively. A different translator translating the same file (probably using MS Word) into a different language had apparently no problems. What is happening here? Does this mean Writer has problems handling MS Word files? Is it the incomprehensible .docs format? Do I HAVE to use Word for such file? Something I really do not want to do! Is there anything to PREVENT this kind of event? (retyping my work all the time will get me into real trouble!)

[libreoffice-users] How to NOT turn (c) into a symbol
Good evening I have tried all sorts of settings to prevent LibreOffice from changing (c) into the copywright symbol. So far nothing has helped. Setting it as an exception does not work. For reasons I do not understand the conversion is NOT made when I type (C) (=capital C). What is the trick required to stop Libreoffice from doing this conversion. If possible, I prefer NOT to turn of autocorrect entirely. Thank you.

BUT: you have to do it for the language that your text is in. Apparently your text is not English (USA), because that has the (C) [Capital C] replaced by ©, not the lowercase (c). So check the language setting of your document (or that part of the document). Thank you. That is something I have not thought of. However, it does not help either.

German: neither deleting the entry present in the list of replacements nor adding (c) as new item changes anything. Entering (c) for ALL languages does not any good either. Does that leave "Ctrl+Z" the one and only option? This "(c)" comes from a Japanese style of numbering (lots of) tables and items in a manner like "3.(4).A.(c)-1".

[libreoffice-users] style panel on the right "crashes"

THAT cannot be normal. Is there a way to avoid this behavior. It is obviously VERY disruptive!

[libreoffice-users] style per sheet for different types of numbers
Good morning I am using LibreOffice 5.2.2.2 on Windows 10 / 7 / Linux Mint I do have a file with about 20 sheets, containing patient data - using both English and Japanese. Naturally there are ordinary numbers like age (50 etc.), but there are also dates like first visit etc. I would like to apply the same style to every sheet. Meaning: Japanese font = xxx / size = xxx English font = xxx / size = xxx I think I managed to set that up in my cell style "clinic". However, numbers I can set ONLY to "Date", in which case "50" suddenly turns into some incomprehensible figure, or to "Numbers", in which case then the date is converted into a number that does not make any sense to me (although by now I know, there is a rationale behind that number). Is there a way to set up a cell style (page styles do not have any settings for numbers, fonts etc.) that can handle BOTH standard numbers and dates? Or do I have to format every single column in every single sheet by hand? Thank you for your help.

I do not believe, this has happened to any other file I have used in the past. Is there somewhere a setting, that tells the computer NOT to remember my formatting?

So the count for a test file I opened should be somewhere around 30 pages (translation), but the word/character count in Writer gives a count like 350 pages.

I'll hazard an explanation, without looking at the specific question so closed. b) For presentations, regardless of how "word" is defined, words are not fundamental to the final product.

As such, words are irrelevant; Well, I do not want to be rude, but words (= their number) ***ARE*** fundamental to the (my) final product.

[libreoffice-users] copy function not working
Good evening I am using Ver. 5.2.6.2 (and some other minor variations) on a Windows 10 machine and having trouble with "copying text". I think, this problem has not yet appeared on other machines. Problem: Select a text portion in one application -> move to Writer -> Ctrl+V (paste). (copy "text only" does NOT help) However, what shows up is a text portion selected earlier and NOT the one selected just now. When I do the Ctrl+V (paste) trick in a text editor, the text portion in question shows up just fine. This happens SOMETIMES but not always. (it is nevertheless very annoying). Currently I have to close Writer and reopen it to "solve" this problem. Is there something a little smarter that can be done? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Writer interface font size
Good morning Just installed LibreOffice 6.0.4 (on the computer where I had problems with copying). Because I am getting older and my vision deteriorates, the fist thing I always do with new/upgraded software is to increase interface font size. I know how to increase the size of the icons in the menu bars, but unfortunately I could not yet figure out how to increase the interface font size. There seems to be no such item under "Options" Could somebody please direct me to the relevant setting (in the hope, there IS such setting).

For that reason I cannot help but assume, that there is something strange going on in Writer. While working in Writer I use Calc in parallel to create a list of term and their translations. Copying either A or B from other applications into Cals DOES NOT give me this grief.

[libreoffice-users] type backslash in "Find" dialog
Good evening Sorry, but I have another stupid question. I am using a Japanese computer with a Japanese keyboard that I have set to switch between English (German) and Japanese input. Activating the US English keyboard does not help. When I want to use regular expressions in Writer I am supposed to enter a backslash. While writing in Writer I get that backslash, but in the Find dialog I always get the "Yen" mark no matter what I do. Naturally, find dialog always tells me, there is no such thing as for example "backslash+p", since the find field contains on "yen+p". Is there a trick to tell the Find dialog that I am talking about "backslash" and NOT "Yen"? So far all my attempts have failed.

[libreoffice-users] Set JRE in LibreOffice

For example on a Windows 7 notebook -> tools - options - libreoffice - advanced -> Java options location: C:\Program Files\Java\jre xxx However in 6.0.4 the Java options box is empty and when I try to add the jre: location (Windows 10): C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre xxx I get the error message: "The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. Please select a different folder." Actually there are TWO jre versions, both cause the same error message. The Java version on the computer is the newest one available.

I am using LO 6.0.3.2 with Linux Mint 18. Today, I was working in Impress. I've been copying and pasting text from one slide to another within a single Impress presentation file. Every now and then, the copy function does not copy the new text, so that when I press , instead of getting the text I just copied, I get a previous copy. It also happened when I tried copying text from another program (LyX) into my LO Impress. I have to say that the simplest explanation of this for both of you - and consequently the one recommended by Occam - is still that your copy operation - using Ctrl+C - failed to happen. Keyboards do fail or become unreliable, so this would hardly be surprising. Pardon my asking this, but when did you last remove dust, cat hair, biscuit crumbs, paper clips, and so on from your keyboard? Gravity is effective at adding these items. Do you use the "C" key often? Are you perhaps a member of the Caius College Cambridge Cricket Club? Here's a suggestion. When you use Ctrl+C you see no feedback of the process. In other words, the behaviour is exactly the same whether the operation has succeeded or failed, so you cannot tell. This is different from using Edit | Copy, where the Edit menu disappears when the click is successful, but not otherwise. Similarly, using right-click | Copy, the context menu disappears only when your click is successful. Just test by using either of these techniques instead. If you can reproduce the problem with the *Copy* operation performed in either of these ways, there may be some underlying software problem; if not, your Ctrl+C is simply not working. I must say this is an entirely new behavior for me and my copy of LO. It not only happened when copying and pasting from another program to LO, but also from one slide to another within LO itself. I'll keep an eye on it and try to see any consistency in the behavior. So far, it has been intermittent. Again, this is all consistent with a hardware problem. I trust this helps. Brian Barker Good evening I do not want to be awkward, but this behavior seems to affect ONLY Libreoffice.

I was also running LyX, Geany (text editor), Xiphos (Bible software) and Nemo (file explorer). I wanted to move some text on one of my LO Impress slides. All I was trying to do was move the text to another location on the slide itself. I selected the text and pressed Ctrl-X to cut it. It didn't cut. I then clicked on the Edit menu and both "Cut" and "Copy" were greyed out as if I hadn't even selected any text. I tried some other functions, such as applying boldface to the selected text, and it worked, so LO recognized that I had, indeed selected text. It just wouldn't let me cut or copy it to the clipboard. Both Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X did nothing and the mouse options on the menu weren't available. I then went into both LyX and Geany to see if, perhaps my issue was OS related. Both LyX and Geany allowed me to cut, copy and paste. I could cut and copy within LyX and Geany and across the two programs. I could also paste text into LO from LyX or Geany without problem. So, the problem seems to be that, for whatever reason, from time to time, LO stops allowing a user to cut or copy text to the clipboard (or whatever Linux calls it). When this happened today, as in the past, I was able to solve the problem by closing out the Impress presentation (without closing down LO completely) and reopening the file. Once reopened, I was able to cut and paste within LO again. Curiouser and curiouser. Virgil I (the original poster) have been quiet about this, but actually, the problem is getter worse with time and by now makes working (translation) uncomfortable process!

[libreoffice-users] insert special characters
Good morning At home I am using LibreOffice 6.0.5.2 (Windows 10) In my office I use a little older version (not sure about that version number). In the office I do: Alt+P -> open special character dialog -> select a character -> Enter When I repeat this operation a little later and want to use the SAME character, it used to be selected already and all I had to do was press Enter. At home this does not work any more. I have to repeat to entire procedure: Alt+P -> open special character dialog -> select a character -> Enter. Is this an "improvement" (of obscure meaning) I have to live with, or is there a trick that would give me the functionality I am enjoying in my office? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] edit autocorrection options
Good afternoon I am frequently working on patent specifications, in which there references to all those numbers and symbols in the accompanying figures. This also often includes something like "(c)". LibreOffice insists on converting this into the copyright symbol. I tried Tools -> Autocorrect Options -> Exceptions (words with two capitals) and added this (c). However Writer apparently does not recognize / remember this setting. The help section says, typing Crtl+z immediately after the (c) input reverts the autocorrection and adds it to the list of exception. Yet, Writer does NOT remember this. Is there a way to make this exception "permanent" (until a time when I choose to change the setting)? Thank you.

The first part - that Edit | Undo or Ctrl+Z undoes the automatic correction - is right, but I'm very surprised to hear any suggestion of adding something to the list of exceptions. Adding Exceptions to the AutoCorrect List You can prevent AutoCorrect from correcting specific abbreviations or words that have mixed capital letters and lowercase letters. 1. Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options*, and then click the *Exceptions* tab. 2. Do one of the following: Type the abbreviation followed by a period in the *Abbreviations (no subsequent capital) *box and click *New*.

It says there, the Ctrl+Z action adds something to the excecption list. o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace. o Scroll down to and select the line showing the unwanted correction. o Click Delete. Voilà! The problem: there *** IS NO *** (c) in the replacement list. (only (R)) I have looked at least twice. In all three languages I use. About the two initial caps: in the exception section I have only two choices: abbreviations (with a period) or two initial caps. Where else would I have put my request? When you want to reinstate it: o Select the copyright symbol in your text. o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace; notice that the symbol is already in the With box. o Type (C) in the Replace box. o Click New. I just entered (c) under "Replace" AND "With". For now, that seems to be working. Although this seems to be a very strange behavior to me. Thank you!

[libreoffice-users] disable 2-digit options
Good evening I am using Calc to maintain a list of patients including entries like name, age, date of birth etc. I tried to set a consistent style to about 20 different sheets. Sheet styles do not allow to adjust font etc. I choose character style to set the desired font for all sheets. Problem: I DID set a certain "date format" and a certain "number format". However, this gives me either an incomprehensible 5-digit number for the dates (of birth), or alternatively a similarily incomprehensible 5-digit number for the age = 2 digits. I found under: Tools - Options - General -> a "Two digit options": Year (two digits) Defines a date range, within which the system recognizes a two-digit year. In LibreOffice, years are indicated by four digits, so that the difference between 1/1/99 and 1/1/01 is two years. This *Year (two digits)* setting allows the user to define the years in which two-digit dates are added to 2000. To illustrate, if you specify a date of 1/1/30 or later, the entry "1/1/20" is recognized as 1/1/2020 instead of 1/1/1920. That may be wonderful in certain situations, but leaves me having to choose between the "age" (MOST of my patients have a 2-digit age!!!) or "date of birth" of my patients. And, naturally, having to format those columns by hand, for all sheets (and maybe all eternity) AND ... my patients turn out to have a VERY strange "date of birth": 70 ("age" translates into ) 1900/3/10 25 1900/1/24 33 1900/2/1 (I am sure, there is some logical rule, but I cannot see it) The above cited help section does NOT indicate any way of how to *DISABLE *that function. Is there a way to do so? I tried to just delete the number in the year field. THAT did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] (urgent) shift+down always selects TWO cells in a table
Good morning Using LibreOffice 6.0.5.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 I just made a mistake somewhere: I hit some key combination that rotated the screen by 90 degrees. Although I was able to fix that somehow, since then LibreOffice insists on selecting always TWO cells simultaneously in a 2-column table to be translated. Using for example "Shift+Down". Even in a newly created document. I tried rebooting, but that does not change anything. This is very disruptive to my work. Searching the help documentation I could not yet find any hints. Since I am somewhat pressed for time with this work, I would very much appreciate any hints as to how to fix this. LibreOffice did not behave like this before the screen rotation. I presume, something must have happened there. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] automatic font selection in macro
Good morning I have another strange question. Work related I have to insert not infrequently symbols into texts. To make work easier, I have already created a number of macros to insert for example the symbol "micro" into a text using a keyboard shortcut. Problem: Let's say, I created the macro in a document that happened to use "Arial" as font and later want to use it in a document that uses "Times Roman". The macro I created then inserts an "Arial font micro" into the Times Roman text, which then looks out of place. Is there a trick to create macros, so that the inserted symbol matches the surrounding font? I have tried all sorts of things, but could not yet find a solution. It is not really a "problem", but such an automatic font adjustment would be nice/helpful. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] word completion
Good evening Writer is so friendly as to offer "word completion" while typing. I am grateful for that. However, sometimes that list, found under Tools -> Auto Correct -> Word completion contains "wrong" or outdated items. I tried to delete a few, but the next time I type, they are always back as if nothing has happened. Example: informant / information I have used both, but the former one is no longer required/desired. So I opened said list and deleted "informant", but that apparently has no effect. Is there a trick to convince the list, that I do not want this term any longer? Thank you.

So, I copied the "autocorr" folder from the user profile to a folder where I keep all my LibreOffice staff.

[libreoffice-users] autotext? question.
Good morning I probably made a really stupid mistake somewhere. Yesterday I noticed (in one of my computers only) that when I enter "Formula" and hit enter, I get a table = 1 row/2 columns with the formula E=mc2 on the left and running number on the right. Unfortunately I cannot remember where and what I did to make this happen. I checked: autotext, macros, autocorrect options, customize-> keyboard (where I deleted "formula"-> F2) Neither can I find this setting, nor did the keyboard customization have any effect. Does anyone have an idea where I should be looking. This is apparently NOT a LibreOffice problem, but I would still be grateful for hints.

[libreoffice-users] LO upgrade under Linux - delete old files
Good morning Probably I am just not smart enough (again). I upgraded LibreOffice from 6.0.7 to 6.1.6 on a machine running Linux Mint 19. The Readme file instructed me to run a dpkg command to unpack the .deb files after extracting them from the downloaded compressed file. I did that. It seemed to run fine and completed successfully. When I clicked on the Writer icon I used before, it is still LibreOffice 6.0.7 that opens. Looking around, I found that there are OTHER LibreOffice icons, which start the 6.1.6 version. Are those old files supposed to remain there under Linux? An update on Windows deletes those (as far as I know). Looking in software manager I am told, that Libreoffice is installed, but there is no distinction between 6.0.7 and 6.1.6. If I update Libreoffice in the future again, will all the old files be retained? Should I **uninstall** Libreoffice first and then make a fresh installation of the new version, or is there a way of cleaning out old files? (I presume, after a fresh installation I have to set up my preferences etc. all over; that is something I would like to avoid. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Language setting in Calc
Good evening In my line of work (translator) I often forced to use MS Office files. Right now I am working with an Excel worksheet. I am not allowed to change file name, format or anything else am only supposed to enter the German translation of a Japanese text into the designated columns. Fine so far. The original file is so formatted that there are font settings for English and Japanese. When I work at home (right now) I select the relevant columns and change the language setting to German. But when I go to my little work place and open the same file there, the language in those columns is back to English. I changed it in my office to German again, but once I am home and start working here, it is back to English again. Is there a way to tell Excel files to use a specific language AND STAY THAT WAY? It would reduce unnecessary stress significantly. Thank you.

This pCloud is available for Android, so I installed it. So far, so good. LibreOffice, however, is NOT directly available for Android. Therefore I was referred to "Collabora". Installed that too. Problem: When I try to open ANY file (except PDF), I get messages telling me, the file (ALL files) are "read-only" and saving is diabled. If I want to access any file, I have to * make the file available offline * choose to edit it * choose a software to do so (here Collabora), EVERY time -> if successful, I am again asked, whether I want to open a read-only file, or edit a copy. * if I edit a copy, that will then be stored somewhere in the phone and NOT in one of the folders on pCloud. That renders the whole idea of having files "in the cloud" useless, doen't it? The pCloud support send me (partially) the following: "You can open the pCloud files with all kinds of 3rd party apps but unfortunately, you can not save the changes in pCloud. You'll probably need a paid version of LibreOffice in order to save the changes to pCloud so you have to download the edited files locally and upload to pCloud. If you wish to edit files directly from pCloud, you can use Google Sheets." And Google Sheets etc. is something I do NOT want to use. BTW, the same thing happens when I use AIRSEND. (have not tried anything else) Has anybody any experience with using LibreOffice = Collabora with an Android smartphone? Is there maybe a trick? If not, that is just fine. I consider working with this miniture machine a form of "digital torture" anyway.

[libreoffice-users] search for Asian font in English text
Good morning. I have this not very long English text with occasional Japanese characters in it. I would like to search for ONLY the Japanese characters, naturally the font is different from the English but attribut "regular" and size are the same, and if possible change their attributes (color, highlighting etc.). Searching the net, I found: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/140748/how-do-i-search-for-a-specific-font-in-writer/ "The Find and Replace dialog (Control+H) should be able to search for text by font. Leave the "Find" box blank. Then go Other options > Format and fill in the "Family" box." However, that does NOT work. I tried to search for all sorts of things: format, attribute, language etc., but so far nothing helped finding Japanese characters. If anybody knows how to do that, I would be grateful for a hint. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] specify an absolute sheet address
Good evening I am probably, again!, too stupid to figure this out by myself, so I would be grateful for a hint. I have a file with something like 25 sheets listing the patients who visited my clinic before grouped by year. In one sheet I have all names (about 2,000). To make my work easier I set up a VLOOKUP function to help me enter zip codes. In sheet 2021 that formula looks like =VLOOKUP(N77,'Zip codes'.$A$2:$B$150,2,0) and refers to a sheet with the zip codes 3 sheets to the right. This works fine. However, when I copy the data (whenever there is something new) to the "ALL" sheet to the right of 2021, I get a "N/A", because the formula AGAIN refers to the THIRD sheet to the right, that does not have any zip codes. I tried to figure out, how to specify the sheet "Zip codes" as the absolute address, like: =VLOOKUP(N76,$zip codes.$a$2$:$zip #REF!.$B$220,2,0) but so far all attempts (for quite a while now!) at placing those $ marks have resulted in errors. I am sure, this is something very simple, but being a simpleton I just cannot figure it out. Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] specify an absolute sheet address (SOLVED)
On 2021/06/13 2:55, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: Another way to get around it is to name your range. Then your formula could look something like =VLOOKUP(N76;ZipCodes;2;0) Named ranges are absolute, always. Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg After futile efforts to make all those symbols work somehow, I recalled you mentioning "naming a range". Since I did not know, there is such a concept, I did some reading and after a few experiments - I hope! - I may actually have solved my problem. Defining the data range in the sheet "Zip codes", naming it "zipcodes" (this setting apparently does not accept spaces), the formula seems to be working .. AND .. looks a lot friendlier! =VLOOKUP(N79,zipcodes,2,0) Your idea was VERY helpful! Thank you. Even I can understand that formula. (You used semicolons in your formula, mine has commas. Is there a difference? Greetings from Japan where it is sunny (and rather hot) today, but we are about to enter the rainy season ...

[libreoffice-users] Calc file "invalid parameter"
Good evening Again some strange question. Recently LibreOffice, maybe the computer?, has started to act strange on some occasions. Checking the net, I found only ONE related item. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=96478 This is not really a "problem", but I would still like to know, what is going on. I have a sort of "cloud storage" called pCloud, which creates a 5-GB virtual drive with its own drive letter on my HDD. There I store among other stuff files I use regularly and update several times a day. For some time now, a number of Calc files open alright, but when I edit them and hit "save", I get the following error message: "Error saving the document "file name". The operation [path / file name] was started with an invalid parameter." When I rename the file, I can save it, but the same problem tends to recur when I open it the next time. When I rename it and store it in a different location, the problem seems to disappear. Probably all I have to do, is choose a different folder to save those files. Yet, I would really like to know, what that "invalid parameter" refers to. If anyone has any idea, I would love to hear it. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice crashes every day
Good evening Another probably stupid question. As I said in my previous post, I am using 7.18 on a Windows 10 machine. I upgraded to 7.18 a few days back from 7.12. Since I am working on certain files both at home and in my little clinic, I tend to put those files on cloud storage places like Dropbox and a few other services. Since maybe 2 month now, LibreOffice crashes at least once DAILY; then asking me to send a crash report (which I always do). I can be restarted normally, but often a portion of my work is lost. Since I had trouble in the past using an online storage called "pCloud", I now use my local hard disk to save the files and make copies to take them to the other place. Still, this does not seem to change anything. LO still crashes at least once a day. Other applications do not seem to be affected. Is there something I may try to improve the situation? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] "save as" behave very strange
Good evening from Japan I have been using LibreOffice for years by now. Currently I use 7.18 on a Windows 10 machine. Let's say, I have a file "xyz" that is saved in one directory/folder. Now I want to save it in a different location (different disk) where there are directories and folders of the same name. The target folder also contains the file, but I want to overwrite it with a newer version. E:\AA\filexyz.odt Here I want to replace/overwrite the "filexyz.odt". HOWEVER, the directory E:\AA\ ... has 2-3 more folders with related files. Like: E:\AA\bb\xx\ When I try the "save as" command and indicate the directory-folder-file name -> LibreOffice jumps to the next folder one level BELOW the one I want to save the file in. And it keeps doing that so long, until there is no other folder any more. LibreOffice did not do this in the past. Is there a particular reason for this behavior? Is there a way to tell LibreOffice to save the file where I want it to be saved? Any help would reduce unnecessary stress immensely. Thank you.
