Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: BLOOMING CACTI
I still think you should upload the attachments to a file-sharing system or your own domain FTP/sharing account. That way TDF/LO does not have to have your file uploaded to a server they are using/paying-for/etc.. I even have my dictionary extension on my domain and use the external hosting option so LO does not need to use its disc space to store my contributions to LO. Now if you do not have any account on any online service where you can store your files to share with people on the lists, then using Nabble might be your only option. I have not used Nabble, and uploaded a file there before, so I cannot tell you how easy it is to upload a file to that system. http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/ list http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/ as the link to LO's Nabble starting page. You will need to register to the system to post threads there. On 06/13/2012 10:51 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Translating non-native formats doesn't always go 100% perfectly. If the presentation had been created in Impress (either OpenOffice or LibreOffice) then it would work better. If you tried the presentation in a different version of MS Office, say in 2010 if created in 2007 then you would run into similar problems. Oddly if you tweak it in Impress and then save back in PowerPoint formats then it tends to work in whichever version of MS Office you are using. It's best to stick with the native Odp format instead of .ppt or .pptX as the Odp format is used by more programs (KOffice/Caligra, IBM Lotus, google-docs and on and on). Errr attachments don't get through to the list but you could use the Nabble interface and upload things to Nabble so that we could all see them.

Gordon Broussard Because it makes sense? PowerPoint has its native format that it uses. Unless licensed by MS, no one else uses PowerPoint's native format. That means, PowerPoint will run the slide presentation better than other programs. They have only limited ability to read PP's files. Impress uses ODF (open document format) as its native format. Similarly, MS has only developed limited ability to read this format. Consequently, a slide show created using Impress and the ODF native format runs better on Impress than it would on PowerPoint. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: BLOOMING CACTI
Hi :) Yes, ODF is the generic name covering all the different formats used by the different modules/applications/parts of LibreOffice. That becomes Odt for word-processed documents because word-processing is traditionally mostly about formatted text Ods for spreadsheet Odp for presentations Fairly consistent with each other.
