[libreoffice-users] Text rewrapping bug in Draw on poster sized pages
I can define using Format | Page a page that is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high for a poster. However, after adding a title that spans the 72 inch width, saving the document in Draw format, and reopening the document, I find the title is wrapped at the 40 inch width mark and no longer spans the width of the page. Is there a way to change that behavior or is this a bug?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Office localization for multinational work environment
In Tools | Options | Language Settings | Languages, what is your Locale set to? I'm sure your feeling a bit frustrated with everyone's responses. After reading through the thread, I was frustrated and it's not my problem! However, the real problem is determining if your LO's Locale is set to a particular setting and then figuring out how to modify that locale. So, my question to others, does LO have it's own set of locale definitions that it accesses and is that where the definition of how Cevad's numbers are displayed is really located, or does LO actually access the installed systems modified locale settings for such information? Let's define the question more precisely since the easy way out isn't working. Obviously, a predefined locale setting isn't sufficient here. And, I think LO may not be accessing the actual locale information that Cevad has already defined for his Linux box. So, based on Cevad's comment that LO wasn't accessing his system's default definition of how to display numbers and so on, doesn't it seem that LO isn't accessing that set of locale information but a separately defined set of locale information that hasn't been modified? The real question: Where are the files that comprise the locale settings for LO? Default or otherwise? After that is answering, the next question becomes: How are those files modified to match his current Pardus systems definitions?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Open docx with emf images under Linux
XnView might help in Linux with converting to a different high res format that would importable into LO and yet keep the resolution you require. I just checked and GIMP would import your .emf file at the resolution you prefer, with or without anti-aliasing and allow export as a eps or png file. Of course, this is a temporary solution and direct import of the full docx format would be preferable.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Saving inserted video or sound as ppt or pps
Just tested the doc versus odt format and your correct, Writer won't save the background of the document when saving in the doc format. What is up with that? Isn't that a simple format filter error?

[libreoffice-users] Re: import of postscript files
You can use GIMP to directly import the postscript file and then export to any image format you want. GIMP, of course, would let you edit the image if you want. I use to use ghostscript as you've described to convert postscript to TIFF for publication quality images. However, since I would crop using GIMP eventually, I played with and found that the import of postscript is actually very good. Just set the resolution in the initial dialog after opening up the postscript file. Also, select to anti-alias at high quality the text and graphics.

[libreoffice-users] Re: poor conversion of .docx files
I think asking the students to use the .doc or .odf format would be excellent to require in your syllabus. Also, for those instances that non-compliance is inevitable (I work in an educational environment too), you can use a virtual machine running MSOffice that will handle .docx files. That is what I do to be able to be as versatile as possible. Using Linux alone is not practical for me since so many co-workers/students use the .docx format, so I only use Windows and MS Office when I absolutely have to. So, most of the time I'm happily using Linux, but for those days when Bill has closed the gates of freedom and happiness, I have a virtual machine to come to the rescue. Requiring a PDF is not helpful since you want to bleed on their work. I don't know of a guaranteed working PDF annotater in Linux and Adobe Acrobat isn't available for a Linux environment. So, to use PDF you would probably be forced back to a windows environment. (I'm not thinking you'd want to do your grading in GIMP, even though that might import a PDF!) By the way, a VMPlayer and VMware Server works well for the academic environment to create a virtual machine and play it wherever. Use it on machines with the cpu virtual hardware extensions though. I hate running on older cpus without that functionality since the virtual machines are much slower without that cpu enhancement. If your pretty savvy in Linux then KVM may be a better answer. The long term solution for LibreOffice is to have robust import filters for the insidious .docx format. I can't stand Microsoft for their lock in tactics and I am disappointed in the gullibility of the masses for just accepting the chains of MS enslavement.
