[libreoffice-users] How to set defaults in form controls

2017-02-23 Thread Thomas Boehm
Hi,

I can't seem to find where in Libreoffice Writer I can set defaults for
the font etc. in form controls. I set my default font for new documents
to Arial 11, but when I insert a form control the font there is always
Liberation Sans, Regular, 12.

I searched the web for quite some time, but the only "solutions" were to
change it afterwards by selecting all the form controls and change it then.

Where can I set the default for the font and other properties?


Thanks
Thomas

Hi Miguel,

you're spot on. If I increase the number to 200, it happens from A200
onwards. But I haven't found a way to disable OpenCL. If I un-tick the
checkbox, it uses the last set value.

So the workaround would be to set it to a very high number.

That's what I meant with "copying down", clicking the lower right corner
of cell Sheet2.A1 and dragging it down to A100 or further.

[libreoffice-users] copying down references to other cells turns text to UPPERCASE

2016-05-31 Thread Thomas Boehm
Hi list,

I found an annoying bug (or is it a feature?) in Calc. When I create a
new document in calc and fill column A in Sheet1 with text. Now I add
Sheet2 and put "=Sheet1.A1" in cell A1 of Sheet2. Everything behaves as
expected so far.

If I copy down A1 in Sheet2 up to A99 everything is fine too, but if I
copy it down until A100 or more everything turns UPPERCASE and I cannot
change it.

I'm using LO 5.1.3.2 at the moment, but I observed this behavior in
earlier versions too.

Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug?

Thanks
Thomas

[libreoffice-users] "RebootYesNo=No" in silent installation not working anymore

2016-04-19 Thread Thomas Boehm
Hi all,

I'm just trying to deploy LO 5.1.2 Win x64 in our network and found out
that "RebootYesNo=No" doesn't seem to work anymore. According to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Deployment_and_Migration it should
work, but it reboots after the installation regardless.

Very annoying since this is not the only software I install in my
script. Or is there another command line switch for it since 5.1?

Thanks
Thomas

I'd love to use ODF, but the software we're using uses RTF templates, so
that people can use it no matter what office suite they're using.

We cannot change that. The only thing we can change is using another
office suite.

I digged a bit deeper and found out that this bug got introduced between
version 4.4.3.2 and 4.4.4.1

Whatever the problems with RTF are, LO should be able to read *its own*
RTF documents. You can't blame Microsoft for that.

[libreoffice-users] text alignment broken when re-saving RTF document

2015-08-11 Thread Thomas Boehm
Hi list,

I have problems with the text alignment in LO Writer 5.0.0.5 under Linux
and Windows. When I open an RTF document and save it again (with or
without making changes) all alignments are lost and everything is
aligned to the left.

Steps to re-produce:
1. Create new document
2. write "test" in the first line
3. align this line to center or right
4. save as RTF
5. open document again and everything is aligned as it should
6. add more text to the document and save or just "save as" without
making changes
7. re-open document and all alignments are gone

Is this a known bug and is there a solution to it? I can't use LO 5 like
this and have to roll back all installations to 4.3.7. The problem
didn't occur in this version.

Thanks
Thomas

I'm sure it has nothing to do with LO and the problem lies with the file
permissions in his OS.

My guess is that he uses some flavour of Linux and he opens the document
from the email. I'm using Ubuntu and when I open a document from an
email in Thunderbird, it save an read-only copy in /tmp and LO opens the
document from there.

Can you ask the recipient to save the document first and open it from
this location?

I take it that you're using Windows. The Libreoffice setup has a silent
install command line switch. I use the following command to "deploy" a
newer version

> msiexec /qn /i "libreoffice_setup.msi%" SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 
> SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL RebootYesNo=No 
> REMOVE=gm_o_Onlineupdate,gm_o_jf_Palm,gm_o_jf_Pocketpc

and put it into the domain login script, so that it gets executed if one
particular user with the right permissions to install software logs in.
I do this with Remote Desktop on multiple PC at the same time.

There are also proper deployment solutions available like OPSI.

HTH
Thomas

Of course I had to replace D/M with M/Y and not just add it. Now it
works and "01/10/13" appears when I enter "10/13".

I tried both, 4.0 and 4.1, hence the x. But yesterday I only tried 4.1.2.3

I see the text string entered, but the formatting says "Number - General".

When I add ;M/Y nothing changes. Or did you mean, that after this change
if I enter 10/2013 into the cell it should be formatted as date? Then
this doesn't work.

Of course my formula is referring to another cell ;-) I changed the
formatting of those cells to Date MM/ and everything works now. I
"only" had to manually remove all those pesky ' from the beginning of
the expression, which appeared after I changed the formatting.

Thanks for your help

[libreoffice-users] MONTH() and YEAR() functions behave differently in scalc 3.5.7 and 4.x

2013-10-06 Thread Thomas Boehm
Hi list,

=MONTH("10/2013") returns "10" in version 3.5.7, but returns "#VALUE!"
in version 4.x
The same applies to YEAR() as well.

Is this a known bug/feature or is there maybe something wrong in my
settings?
