[libreoffice-users] Writer - Export Doc to Bitmap Graphic

2012-12-20 Thread precutcolours
Can Writer 3.6.4.3 export a doc to png or jpeg bitmap? It can export PDF and HTML, I know, but we need bitmaps. Print to file makes a PDF for me (Linux). Maybe print-to-file can be jiggered? The only way I know is tedious labor requiring an external app! It should not be so hard: 1. Set Write

Erm, dear Thomas: I'll defend neither MonopolyHard Office or MegaSuck Inc. Saying that, his QA theories I find off-base re MS Service Packs, wrong-headed and incorrect re FOSS, and off-topic re the question. Bully for his avoidance of computer-illiterates. They pay my bills. Servicing N comput

[libreoffice-users] Impress - mass photo import - mass slideshow merge

2012-04-16 Thread precutcolours
1. Given a folder/selection of jpg pics, can Impress import the whole set as a new slideshow, one pic per slide? 2. Given a folder/selection of Impress slideshow files, can Impress or a script merge them into one continuous, mass slideshow? A separator slide may buffer between each merged file.

2012-04-16 Thread precutcolours
Have others seen this oddness? In a previous release, LibreOffice 3.5.1.x, the Mac OS X PPC LibreOffice menu item, Help / Check for Updates..., failed to report 3.5.2.x release that hit on 5 Apr 2012. I had to download and install it by hand. Is the menu checker only for major.minor numbers like
