[libreoffice-users] 3/4/1`3 in table
I have a table in a writer document that has the first col formatted as date (MM/DD/YY), but when I enter 3/4/13 the 3/4 is converted in a smaller 3/4 = three fourths. Yes I can undo the auto correct, but shouldn't writer be smart enough to not do this in a date format cell ?

I just tried inserting a table (1x1) and putting the formula, no good. Regards, Joel Joel et al, Curious, I tried "=TODAY()" as a field variable formula and it doesn't work, with or without the "=". Inserting a table is a brute force method, but as you say, it doesn't seem to work either. Writer's tables are a subset of Calc tables and "=TODAY()" may not be a supported formula. A better approach might be to: 1. Place the cursor where you want the date. 2. Select Insert -> Fields -> Other 3. Select the "Document" tab 4. Select "Date" for "Type" 5. Select "Date" for "Select" 6. Choose your date format under "Format". 7. Click on "Insert". If in step #5 you select "Date (Fixed)", I think that will insert today's date but it will not update in future edits. Even this procedure may not work in a template. More investigation is needed. Hope this helps.

When you open the template, both these dates are the same! Templates are used only to create new documents, so the document is created at the point that the template is opened. But I think I see what you mean. You want a template containing a date field such that any document created from that template will, after it is saved and reopened, show the date that the document was reopened (and then reopened and reopened) and not initially created from the template. As has already been suggested by others, you can do that at Insert | Fields > | Other... | Document. Under Type select Date and under Select select Date - not "Date (fixed)". One point of confusion is that at Insert | Fields > you will see a Date entry - but this is actually the "Date (fixed)" variety, not the (variable) Date that you need. So ignore that and proceed to Other... . I trust this helps. Brian Barker Yup, that works.

Hi.
Sometimes I do this by opening the PDF in LO draw and then copying relavent

Not all PDFs open perfectly in draw.
Opening in Draw workes a treat ! As I only need about 20 of the

quick and easy and formatting is preserved just fine.

[libreoffice-users] Avery 3x5 card form, portrait/landscape problem
I need to print some 3x5 inch cards across the narrow side. This would be "portrait" on each card. The Avery Letter Size 5386 label has 3 cards stacked on top of each other: eg the cards are landscape on a page that is portrait. When I load the template and switch the page to landscape, instead of just rotating the page and template, LO rotates the page but leaves the template as is. The result is that I have 2 - 3x5 cards on the first page, and 1 on the next page, all in landscape orientation. I know I could just rotate the text 90 degrees, but that is a bit hard to read :-) I can build my own template, but does anyone have other suggestions ? bill -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] How to.. sort a table in 3 columns
I have a list that has two fields: aisle and item. I need to maintain the list sorted by item, but print a pick list by aisle. This would be simple except, when I print the list for marking I need to print it in item order, in 3 columns. When I print the pick list I again need to print it in 3 columns, sorted by item, Right now I am sorting the list by aisle and manually cutting and pasting it into 3 columns. I currently have the data in a spreadsheet. I tried using frames set for 3 columns, but when past the sorted list into the frames it does not spill over onto the 2nd and 3rd columns.

Since you registered this data source you have quick access to your list without opening anything. Just hit F4 in Writer or Calc. The report is a Writer document embedded in that database file. It is filled with table data every time you open the report. You can store snapshots of this report at any time simply saving the embedded Writer document as a stand-alone document or as PDF.
