Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

Hi :) I have a good feeling about the 3.5.1 although i am getting a little worried about the delay. Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 14/3/12, Gary Schnabl wrote: From: Gary Schnabl Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed To: documentation@global.l

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

I am a subcontractor adapting MS Word DOTX templates to OO/LO for an international IT consortium for its primary contractor. They prefer LO over OO because of LO's limited ability to import MS Visio VSD graphics. Unfortunately, version 3.5 is the first LO version to import VSD graphics (open th

Hi :) Perhaps one of your Extensions is messing things up?  Perhaps try renaming your user profile to see if that helps https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile It's not clear what module/app of LO you were using nor which "basic functions".  Most of the apps have managed t

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

Unfortunately, starting a few days ago, v 3.5.0 kept systematically crashing while performing basic tasks, requiring a lengthy irksome restart, etc. each time. The dialog box warning specified that a JRE was not present. Knowing just where in the Options to check for the Java JRE (a relatively

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

Hi :) OOo used to install java while it was being installed.  However, java upgrades so often nowadays, that the safest way to keep up is to let the users upgrade java separately.  LO 3.5.0 was meant to work with java 1.7.0 but the 1.7.0 has still not been released properly yet.  There were rum

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

DUH! If the implementation crashes because a Java JRE is not automatically installed any longer (assuming that was the intent because LO is becoming less dependent on Java...), then, perhaps, the so-called documentation project might make steps to include mentioning that in its documentation.

We are the documentation (user guides, translations, manuals) and honestly most of us know squat about the inner functionalities of the program per se. Please subscribe to the user list or dev list or make a bug report. Sorry, but you are talking to the wrong croud :))) Best wishes Rogerio 201

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Writer Guide chapter 12

Hi :) Nicely done :)  We still have no reason to be completely confident about graphics.  A couple of different causes might have been identified btu the problem has been around for nearly a decade so i would not trust it to have magically evaporated so quickly! Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed,

[libreoffice-documentation] Writer Guide chapter 12

Hi I've uploaded Writer Guide, Chapter 12, to ODFAuthors and checked it back in. I've placed a zipped file of all the graphics into the Writer Guide's graphics folder too. Out of interest, are we still required to do this with the graphics, or has everyone now sorted out their work-arounds fo

[libreoffice-documentation] 3.5 crashing unless a Java JRE is installed

I came across a series of crashes a couple days ago because Java was not installed with 3.5. Checking through the Options showed that no Java JRE was automatically installed. So, checking my hard drive showed that my system had two versions of JREs. Manually adding the more recent (possibly, a

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Chapter 2 of Base Guide progress

Hi :) Ok, so when migrating from Access to Base would it be best to first export the Access tables into a different database program and then get Access to read those tables?  Would that mean re-writing Access's Reports and Forms that are based on the tables? Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed,
