Re: [libreoffice-users] File conversion issue

[Andrew Pitonyak]

Is this only text? I assume there is embedded content of some sort or some kind 
of fancy break going on. Is there a frame?

When I had a problem it was specifically with an ODT file, so I copied it to a 
zip file, unzipped it and then I was able to look at the content to what sort 
of funny things were going on in there. I think you can do the same with the 
doc x file, but I surely have not tried that but I thought I'd heard that that 
was possible.

Hi Andrew pitonyak,
Thanks for replying to my email. I tried to break the file and verified 
. Here I have observed that two paragraphs are causing problems(1 page) and 
removed that page from the file and it worked fine. Again, by keeping the 
problematic page only passed separately and it also worked fine. But including 
both is not working. Any idea like why we are facing this behaviours with file?

Thanks

Do you see any problems / errors when you attempt a specific document manually?

You claim that you cannot provide the example file, but, how much can you 
modify the example file and still demonstate the error?

I once had a file that caused a crash and it was related to an image in a frame 
with a specific anchor type.

Are you able to remove parts of the document and still reproduce the crash?

Is the document long and perhaps there might be a timeout?

Are you able to modify the text (like change every letter to an X)?

Just a few thoughts.

Hi Shiva Prasad,


Recently, some .docx files are failing to convert to .pdf.


Might be there are special formating in these *.docx, which aren't 
available in OpenDocument format.
Something like this: 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143311


Have a look at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org for special bugs with 
*.pdf filter and printing.

Some facilities were apparently removed in 
version 1909 of Windows 10. The best you can do 
now is to start a search, whereupon the Search 
tab will appear in the ribbon, including a "Date 
modified" icon. If you click that, you will see a 
limited set of date possibilities: Today, "This month", "Last year", etc.


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file format problem?

[Tim Deaton]

I strongly agree with Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster.  But I'd also 
suggest that you NEVER overwrite the original document without first 
saving a backup copy of the original to a different name or in a 
different location.

To: users@global.libreoffice.org


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.

[MsFt does not necessarily recognize LO; had you opened this in 
LO or

MsFt? (docx is one of MsFt's files)]


Is there any requirement to use MS's .docx format instead of the more 
compatible .doc format?


I do not do any translation between languages, but if you do not need 
to use .docx for the translated file, then I would not do so.


To be honest, the .docx format have compatibility issues between MS's 
Word versions.  Last year, I finally convinced a MS Office user that 
it would be better to use .doc over .docx for the files emailed out to 
many users that have various versions of MS Office, and for me LO.


For me, I make all my word processing documents using .odt and then 
save it in .doc format for the MS Word users.






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.

[yet another program?]

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)"

[suggestion: open LO - then attempt to open saved document, 
allowing it

to translate if necessary;
hopefully, your file will re-appear.]

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.

[these are MsFt not LO documents.]

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?

[that's a good word to describe MsFt  ;-)]

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!)

[suggestion: use LO to open documents ... work with documents ... 
then

if necessary, save as MsFt to send to others
   - although if they too have LO, then no translation would be
necessary  ;-)]

I opened the .docx file with LO in the first place, upon saving accepted
the proposed (by LO) .docx format.

After the trouble occurred, I copied TEXT ONLY into Writer, finished work
there AND THEN saved first as .odt and then as .docx (same file)

Necessity for Word format: translation agencies send me those Word file ->
expect them to be "overwritten" ->
AND expect Word files back. Which will then be sold to the clients who
ordered the translations. (translation not of file formats, but of text:
manuals, books, letters etc.)
If I start mumbling "I use only odt format ...", they will probably stop
sending me work. Then I will starve to death ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] file format problem?

[anne-ology]

   Maybe I can help,

Subject: [libreoffice-users] file format problem?
To: users@global.libreoffice.org


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.

   [MsFt does not necessarily recognize LO; had you opened this in LO or
MsFt? (docx is one of MsFt's files)]

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.

   [yet another program?]

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)"

   [suggestion: open LO - then attempt to open saved document, allowing it
to translate if necessary;
   hopefully, your file will re-appear.]

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.

   [these are MsFt not LO documents.]

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?

   [that's a good word to describe MsFt  ;-)]

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!)

   [suggestion: use LO to open documents ... work with documents ... then
if necessary, save as MsFt to send to others
  - although if they too have LO, then no translation would be
necessary  ;-)]

[libreoffice-users] File->Exit LibreOffice doens't work in 5.1.1 on Windows

[Gilles Gravier]

Hi!

Strange bug. I launch 5.1.1.3 on Windows (7x64)... For example LibreOffice
Write. It opens. I click on File->Exit LibreOffice ... NOTHING HAPPENS.

If I click on the red cross top right corner of the window, it properly
closes it.
If I use the "Ctrl-Q" shortcut, it properly closes it.
Just the file->Exit LibreOffice menu doesn't.

Doesn't happen on Ubuntu Linux... here closing method works.

Do you get that behavior too?

[libreoffice-users] File->Exit LibreOffice doens't work in 5.1.1 on Windows

[Gilles Gravier]

Hi!
(resent now that I have subscribed)

Strange bug. I launch 5.1.1.3 on Windows (7x64)... For example
LibreOffice Write. It opens. I click on File->Exit LibreOffice ...
NOTHING HAPPENS.

If I click on the red cross top right corner of the window, it properly
closes it.
If I use the "Ctrl-Q" shortcut, it properly closes it.
Just the file->Exit LibreOffice menu doesn't.

Doesn't happen on Ubuntu Linux... here closing method works.

Do you get that behavior too?

Thanks,
Gilles

Re: [libreoffice-users] File download stalls when connected to my ISP, succeeds when using a Verizon Wireless MIFI?

[Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

I am hoping the person will return my email and give me the info you 
need - i.e. the location of the download so you can find out what mirror 
was used.  Since the country code was ".be", that should narrow the 
mirror list a bit.  I do not remember what country used that country 
code, but I could look it up if I really wanted to know that answer.

It would be great to get the URL from which the download does not work. Thanks

Re: [libreoffice-users] File download stalls when connected to my ISP, succeeds when using a Verizon Wireless MIFI?

[Florian Reisinger]

Hi,

The important thing to know is the following: Which mirror was used for the 
download?

[Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

Try the archive site folder system.  If it works, then it really could 
have been the regional mirror that has the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] File download stalls when connected to my ISP, succeeds when using a Verizon Wireless MIFI?

[Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

try to download it from this "FTP like" listing with your browser.

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

If it works, then it may be in your service.

If it does or does not, then either way I would contact your service 
provider and ask their support people why you are not able to download 
from the different download access points properly.


Look into the different ways you can down the file[s].

Are you using IE, Firefox, or Chrome?
I use Time Warner Cable for my access, in central New York State, and 
have no issues with the different download paths. EXE or MSI file 
extensions work the same.

I entirely agree.

But it's by no means the worst of the irritating anomalies in lo.

[libreoffice-users] File management

[mwarmour]

One file opens as a display of all its pages and I can't enter or operate
data in it. How can I open this file in normal mode?

Hi :)
I think you have just zoomed out tooo far.

You can zoom in again either by;

1.  the little slider on the status-bar bottom right
2.  View menu, Zoom is at the bottom of the menu
3.  Ctrl and mouse-wheel

In other programs, such as most web-browsers, you can also zoom in and out
using
4.  Crtl + or Ctrl -
but then most programs don't have method 1, the slider.

Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] File corruption on OSX and LO 4252

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Surely just go back to the last back-up or find a copy in emails or on a
usb-stick.  Any chance of it being in a temp folder or auto-backup or
something?

Btw do all the different machines you use run the same version of MS Office
as each other?

 This works great on Linux, Windows and OSX.

 Until LO 4252, I had never encountered any file corruption issues,

 OSes other than Windows - that just goes to show how long my teeth are

 However, in the space of a fortnight, LO 4252 has successfully trashed
 two Writer documents that I was working on, irreparably, once about a
 fortnight ago, and once today. The first time it happened, I thought it
 was a one-off, and I actually hadn't been working on the file for long
 when it happened.

 Today, I lost two hours work, and working to a very tight deadline
 thanks to a client's late order. Needless to say, I was/am not impressed.

 The file can not be opened in any of the following :

 OOo 3.2.1
 OOo 4.0.0
 LO 3.6.7
 LO 4.1.3
 LO 4.2.5

 The file can not be unzipped or repaired with zip, and yet it is stated
 as weighing in at 73 kb (of binary rubbish).

 I love LO, and the whole open source idea, but the product needs a
 serious quality rethink if things like this can happen. I have had no
 such issues on Linux, which just goes to show that the developers, as a
 whole, give little heed to the changes they make in the code and the

 how are we supposed to know whether change x or y will have an impact
 on a closed source OS ? - more attention is given to the Windows arena
 because that is where the perceived markets are for the taking. This
 leaves the little people like Joe Bloggs / Jane Doe, etc, here, to deal
 with the issues on OSX, of which there are many, and too few developers
 willing or interested to care about fixing them.


 Had I stuck to MS Word (yes, I have Office 2011 for Mac), this would not
 have happened, of that I am certain. Had I stuck to 4.1.x, this would
 not have happened either, but no that is now obsolete...instead we have
 a 4.2.5.x as stable with deficiencies like the one I encountered, and
 as a businessman, I begin to seriously start questioning the
 benefit/risk assessment of the whole LO thing.

 This is just a word of warning to others, as they say your mileage may

Hi Tom,

It is corrupt in all of the places where a backup/autorecovery should be.

Re-read my message and you will see that I was working from a USB
external hard disk. There is currently no way to get a real-time system
automatic backup with rollback to an external media that works
seamlessly on 3 different OSes (TimeMachine on OSX, Windows autosystem
checkpoint/restore, Linux )

 Btw do all the different machines you use run the same version of MS
 Office as each other? 

 Even with different versions of Office, I've never had complete garbage
written to an office file. How does your question relate to the problem
exactly ?

If the file does have any confidential information you can post it on 
Nabble and post a link on the user page. Please do not post confidential 
information because it will become public.


Do you have a specific error message? Also, please advise the LO version 
you are using and your OS. This information will help us pin down the 
problem.


I can look at the file if you send it to me off-list.

[libreoffice-users] file-endings

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Just downloaded some interesting files from a 'professional' company
involved in communications.  no-one else can open their files but
thanks to a little wisdom i learned from this mailing list years ago i
was.

Their files end either in .zip or fail to have any file-endings.  I
changed them to .odt and then a double-click opened them.  My guess is
that they will try to blame Libreoffice/OpenOffice so if any runs a
blog or anything then it might be neat to get the truth out there in
advance of the FUD for once.  If you want verification then i can let
you know who they are off-list but ideally i want to avoid making
their name too public over this mess as they are basically a force for
good in the world even if they stuffed-up this time.

Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] File that crash LibreOffice Impress

[Gabriel Risterucci]

Hi,

I'm using LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 on Windows, and have a file that will crash
Impress.

When I open the file, either by double-clicking it in the windows file
explorer or with the File-Open menu in LibreOffice, a window open, I can
see the loading bar on the bottom and it close.

It doesn't kill LibreOffice (if I have other document open they stay open)
and if I close everything and restart LibreOffice, there is no document
recovery window. Also, there is no error message or anything.

The document itself is very simple, less than 10 pages, a few clipart and
text; no effect, transition, animation or anything else really.

It open fine with LibreOffice 3, so I could work around this, but I believe
it's a rather bad bug. If a developer want to see the file, I can send it
privately (it's not really confidential, but I'd rather not make it
available publicly). Just let me know.

Re: [libreoffice-users] File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)  
The easiest way is to just dragdrop the file onto the LibreOffice icon.  


Yes, it is best set during the install process but it is also possible many 
other ways.  I know of 2 in Xp, not sure how that translates to Win8.  

1.  Rerun the installer.  It asks if you would rather Repair or Modify 
LibreOffice instead.  Either of those options soon gives you the screen where 
you set whether LibreOffice is the default app for read Word, Excel and 
Powerpoint (err and Visio).  Just tick all 4 boxes and then Next.  I 
often miss that screen so i would have to rerun the installer again (or hit the 
back button).  

2.  As Tanstaafl says but with a twist.  There is often a tick-box at the 
bottom of the selections window.  Tick it if it says something like Always use 
this program to open this file-type.  It is a bit painful though because there 
are quite a few different types called doc and docX that would all normally 
open in Word and some of them are extremely rare.  Sadly until you have opened 
a lot of MS files in LibreOffice this method wont work even without the twist 
because Windows tries to hide the fact that LibreOffice is installed.  

3.  Open a folder, any folder, at the top of the window choose the Tools 
menu, choose the Folder Options and in the pop-up click on the File Types.  
Wait half an hour for it to list all the 'different' types and then click on 
the grey header at the top that says File Types (top marks for originality  
(NOT)) to sort the list into human-readable and then scroll down to all the 
appropriate types.  Again it is 1 type at a time.  Click on the type, click on 
the button Change and hope to see LibreOffice in there.  


The 2nd way also works on Ubuntu except that from the right-click menu you 
would go down to Properties at the bottom instead of Open with and then find 
the right tab and select the right radio-button.  


As Tanstaafl says, it is best to set at install (or reinstall-modify/repair)  
Regards from
Tom :)

RE: [libreoffice-users] File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

1. Find a file that has the association to be changed, using Windows Explorer 
(from the Windows 8 Desktop).

2. Right click on the file entry.

3. Select Open With ...

4. On the dialog that offers some selections of prospective alternatives, do 
not choose one.  Instead, select Choose default program    It will show 
the current default and some alternatives.  If LibreOffice (Writer, Calc, 
Impress) is in the list, choose the appropriate one.  Otherwise, use the More 
Options case to see additional selections.

5. Note that, even when the default is changed, this technique can also be used 
(with the default check-box cleared) for occassional selection of a different 
program.  Windows notices this and will move the selections that have been used 
up to the top for direct selection at the Open With ... option.

RE: [libreoffice-users] File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

[Pasqual Milvaques]

An interesting way for doing this is using the assoc command:
http://ss64.com/nt/assoc.html

If you want to change associations for a large number of machines in an 
enterprise environment is advisable to build a bat with assoc commands and 
deploy it with gpo's (for example)

For few machines the other methods are better, of course

[libreoffice-users] File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

[Marc Paré]

Unfortunately, I do not have a version of Win8, and have been asked how 
to set file associations for MSO files to use LibreOffice instead. The 
person who asked me would rather double-click on the files she wants to 
open through windows explorer.


Many thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Marc

[libreoffice-users] File name curtailed

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
I've noticed what seems to be a bug that has crept in somewhere where LO 
curtails file names. Present in 3.5 line but we are not up to the 3.6 
line yet so cannot test. I wonder if someone with 3.6 could check before 
I file a bug.
We have been creating a series of documents, first ones are .sxw so its 
been a long time, where the file name is something like 
FILE.1234.howToCook.odt
In the 3.5 line if you use the pdf button or save as the file name is 
curtailed and it needs retyping to save. LO seems to search from the 
left for the first '.' then chopping to the right instead of searching 
from the right.
To test, create a new document, save as FILE.1234.howToCook.odt and then 
press the PDF button or do a save as.

Thanks, Steve

Are you, by any chance, using KDE?
If so, then this is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52546, fixed 
in 3.6.1.

If not, then some more information about your environment might help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file name suggestion

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I think the op was talking about the default name.  Of course the person saving 
the document can change from the default to something more sensible.  

The default used by LO at the moment is very old-school.  Files called things 
like Doc1, Doc2, Doc3 are even less helpful than picking the 1st 2 words.  If 
it could be cleverer and choose the 1st 2 words of the first main heading that 
might be more useful.  Perhaps there might be some way using the contents of 
the Navigator?  Perhaps more than 2 words, such as using the entire 1st main 
title?  Perhaps adding the date in -mm-dd order to the end?  

Regards from
Tom :)

no...  in case a documents starts like  'the teacher says...'  or  'dear john', 
when you save it for the first time you find the words 'the teacher' or 'dear 
john'  (or 'the teacher 2' or 'dear john 2' in case the file name would be 
already in use) instead of  'document without name'.  then:  if you like it or 
are in a hurry, you simply click 'save' without changing the file name, 
otherwise you change the file name and then click 'save'.  I sometimes think of 
it when I write quick notes or letters...  nobody would make file names 
obligatory, obvious.

[libreoffice-users] File associations - LibreOffice and OpenOffice on Windows 7

[James Knott]

I previously installed OpenOffice on my computer and recently 
LibreOffice.  I have also installed the various free Microsoft viewers.  
One thing I've noticed is that I can't have both LO and OO associated 
with the various file types.  Please note that I'm just talking about 
association, not default association, so that when I right click on a 
file I can chose from among LO, OO or the Microsoft viewer.  At the 
moment, my choices are just LO and the viewer.  If I want to use 
OpenOffice, I have to open the app first and then the file.


Any way around this?

tnx jk

RE: [libreoffice-users] File associations - LibreOffice and OpenOffice on Windows 7

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Here's the tip that I provided over on ooo-users.  My system is busy right now 
so I can't check to see how well it works with AOO 3.4.0 also:

You can try to add AOO associations manually, but it might not be effective.

The problem is that LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, and Apache OpenOffice all use 
the same (old Star Office) names for the individual application programs.  Even 
if you succeed in having multiple swriter.exe associations, for example, you 
may have trouble telling them apart [;).

I think you already know how to do this, by using the Open With ... 
context-menu and take the Choose Default Program option.  You'll have to find 
the installed files and select them.  Perhaps even make it the default at 
first, although you can select the program and remove the check mark on Always 
use the selected program ... .  

Thereafter, they should all be offered in the Open With ... without having to 
be added.  But I suspect this is where you might be frustrated.  (This is how I 
add WinZip to all of the ODF and OOXML extension names so I can simplify 
document-forensic work.) 

 - Dennis

PS: I just got this working for .odds on a Vista configuration that has 
OpenOffice 3.3.0, Symphony 3.0.1, and LibreOffice 3.4.3 installed.  

PPS: Installing Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 seems to steal the default file 
associations, no matter who has them.  Because of that I tend not to keep it 
around on any configurations where I want to use other ODF-supporting programs. 
 (When uninstalled, AOO 3.4.0 leaves no associations behind.)  I haven't tried 
the above procedure to get the other associations back.  That's out of pique.  
Let me know if it works for you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] File could not be written?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Try changing the name of the file slightly?  I tend to add v1 to the end of a 
file-name and gradually step that up; v2, v3 and so on.  Every so often if i am 
reasonably sure i wont need earlier versions i delete a load of them and take 
the v number off the end.  

Does your disk think it's full?  Are you trying to save to a protected folder 
or one that you don't have permissions to save to?  Can you save a 
non-LibreOffice file in the same folder?  

Regards from
Tom :)

I'd emphasize on the standard ODF file format.

My constant hint is to *always* use the native file format a tool can 
manipulate, eg ODF file formats when working with LibO/OOo. Then, *when 
and only when* an export need arises under some other exotic file 
format, just Save as for that purpose.

Tom,
   Might want to uncheck them if you edit, write, and save in .doc filetype, as 
another lister noted a bug affecting .doc files and so unchecks these boxes, 
himself.  It was a bit quicker to recreate and I both missed things while 
getting other things better.  Thanks!

Hi :)
If you are not able to search the bugs area at the moment (through inexperience 
or lack of time) then it is better to just post the bug report yourself and let 
triagers gain more experience at searching for and linking similar bug-reports. 
 
If it isn't already posted then you will have done a hugely positive thing in 
drawing attention to the problem.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Thanks :)  Since MS Office is the dominant Office on those machines i thought i 
would leave the LibreOffice saving to ODFs.  That way one advantage of using LO 
is easy access to that format.  I should check that ODFs don't try to open in 
MS 
Office because that would be a little bit irritating.  Right tool for the right 
job is best.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] file recovery

[John Thaden]

New user here, of LibreOffice, trying to recover a document open in Writer when 
a Microsoft update auto-rebooted my computer.  Reopening Writer, I followed 
instructions on a recovery Wizard.  An error message flashed on and then a 
document appeared, but a very old version of the document.  Did I lose the 
newer version that was up on my desktop for hours?  Doesn't Writer autosave by 
default?  Should I start trying to recreate it from my head?

John

P.S. I'm using LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2 
under Windows XP service pack 3.

[libreoffice-users] File saving integrity

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
I was following the discussion on sharepoint.
I am developing some guidelines for our users for use of LO to minimise 
loss of data.


How does LO handle and store files across networks, what happens if the 
network goes out partway during a save.

When the file is opened is the whole file cached locally for editing
Is the file saved as file.odt.part and mv file.odt at the end or is the 
file held open and written by block.
What happens with a time save backup, is that local or remote (although 
no good for .docs as it doesn't work)


I am presently apprehensive about editing a file across the internet 
that may sit open, especially a largish file and tend to recommend.

Opening files on the local server for editing and saving is ok.
Files to be edited from a server remote across the internet should be 
copied to your local HD, edited and copied back across the internet.


Does the sharepoint extension being discussed address these issues and 
would it be applicable to any Webdav server. (I have no intention to 
connect to a sharepoint server but could be interested in a webdav situation


Cheers,
steve

[libreoffice-users] File associations -- another try

[Seth Williamson]

Can somebody tell me how to get file associations working in LibreOffice in
Mac OS X?  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on my Macbook Pro, and I've got
the latest release candidate for LibreOffice.

I can't get documents with an .odt extension automatically to start up
Writer.  This is the behavior I was used to with Open Office and NeoOffice.

This is my first experience with LibreOffice.  If somebody could help me
with this, I'd appreciate it.
