[libreoffice-users] Impress MS PP
Hi Guys, I wonder if you could advise me on the following? I have created a 98 slide program in Impress. I say program rather than presentation as I'm using Impress to ensure correct content and links before all the data is transferred to a VB.net environment. The 98 page sequence works fine. Each page has an average of between 5 and 7 short audion clips in MP3 format linked to buttons on each page... also no problem. However when I try and copy the whole show over to Microsoft (to allow other Users in my company to view it) by either using Save as MS PP 97/2000/XP (.ppt) or MS PP 2007/XML (.pptx) then the resultant show is OK regarding the pictures and text on each page BUT all the audio files fail i.e. no sound. Initially I thought it might be the MP3 format and so converted to WMA but no difference. Is it possible MS can lose the original path to the audio files?

[libreoffice-users] The text:s/ tag

[libreoffice-users] Invoice automation using macros
Hi, I have quite simple LibreOffice invoices, one file per invoice. There are 2 items in each invoice I would like to make dynamic. 1. Invoice number 2. Due date For the invoice number, I created a user field InvoiceNumber and a macro UpdateInvoiceNumber, which automatically extracts the invoice number from the filename and updates the field when the file is opened. This works great as I simply can copy my invoice to the new name (invoice--MM-#NR-company) and the document is updated automatically with /MM/#NR. Now for the due date its more simple, but I cannot make it work. I used to have 2 fields, invoice date and due date. Both are fixed date fields, the second is 30 days off. To update them, I have to open the new invoice copy, double-click the invoice date field, disable the 'fixed' (so that is shows today's date), then make it fixed again, so it doesn't change the next time I may edit it. Repeat the same procedure for the due date fields. (twice, because I repeat the due date at the end in bold) Now, what I intended to do was to create another user field of the due date and automatically update both with the date set in the invoice date field (which remains a fixed date) and add 30 days. But the problem is that, contrary to user fields, date fields cannot be referenced in Basic (likely because they do not have a name). Or at least I cannot find it anywhere. Below is the code I am using in LibreOffice to update the InvoiceNumber. Can someone tell me how I can get the value of a (fixed) Date field ? Or is there an easier way to update dates, and manipulate them elsewhere ? Sub Main UpdateInvoiceNumber() RemUpdateDueDate() End Sub Sub UpdateDueDate Rem Don't know how to get to the invoice date fixed date field in the document InvoiceDateField = thisComponent.getTextFieldMasters().getByName( com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.InvoiceDate ) end Sub sub UpdateInvoiceNumber InvoiceNumberField = thisComponent.getTextFieldMasters().getByName( com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.User.InvoiceNumber ) InvoiceNumberField.Content = InvoiceNumber() disp = createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper) disp.executeDispatch(thisComponent.CurrentController.Frame, .uno:UpdateFields, , 0, Array()) end Sub Function InvoiceNumber InvoiceNumber = ERROR If (Not GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.isLibraryLoaded(Tools)) Then GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary(Tools) End If InvoiceNumber = FileNameoutofPath(thisComponent.getURL(), /) InvoiceNumber = Mid(InvoiceNumber, 9, 11) InvoiceNumber = ReplaceStr(InvoiceNumber, -, /) End Function Function ReplaceStr(myString As String, str1 As String, str2 As String) ReplaceStr = join(split(myString, str1), str2) End Function PS Is there an easier way to look at the document object model than using a watch in your macro editor ? Preferably something to search. That would be so useful !

[libreoffice-users] Problem with opening pptx file
I had created a pptx file and opened it up with Libre Office (3.3.2) using Ubuntu 10.10. Unfortunately, the formatting and the animation effects were all gone.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Some ideas regarding LibreOffice development
Hi Ilya, On 30/03/11 23:48, Ilya Chernykh wrote: I just want to propose two ideas regarding LibreOffice which I feel important. First, I think it would be great if LibreOffice set had its own browser. With respect, I think this is a bad idea :-) Nothing makes a bad application like feature creep. Given there are already fantastic, freely available, open source browsers out there, I can see no reason whatsoever for putting a full browser inside of an office suite. It's not just that it's a duplication of effort; I can't even see any reasons for this. I don't understand the reasons you gave. - Make it easy to embed web pages in LibreOffice documents What do you mean by this? Why would one want to embed a web page inside a document? If one wanted to show something from a website to someone, one should use a screenshot, since the website in question might change at any time. If one is interested in showing some particular data from the web, I believe LO has functions for importing data from online sources. - Make interaction with online web pages easier Again, how is a word processor document meant to interact with a web page? - Provide a useful browser well integrated with other LO applications Again, what does this mean? Why does a spreadsheet or database need to be integrated with a web browser? which could be also well integrated with KDE4, KDE3, Gnome (as Libre Office is currently) As I said above, there are plenty of browsers that run in all these environments. In terms of integration, if any desktop environment community wanted to integrate a browser directly into the desktop, I'm sure they would have done so. I would suggest the reason they haven't is that a browser doesn't belong in the desktop, just like it doesn't belong in an office suite ;-) - It cannot resolve URLs provided as just a site name. I.e. it can open http://www.mysite.org/index.htm (http://www.mysite.org/index.htm) but cannot just http://www.mysite.org (http://www.mysite.org) That's because mysite.org isn't a document - it's an address, which will first be interpreted by a DNS, which will direct your browser to a server, which will interpret your request and /maybe/ serve you a static page, but /maybe/ (and quite probably these days) will create something completely dynamic. I might add that even though a URL ending in .htm implies that you're accessing an .htm document, there's no guarantee of that (if the site you're accessing particularly wanted to confuse people or obfuscate the way it worked). - It displays the web pages in editing mode with service information which is not normally displayed in the viewing mode. If you want to see what it looks like in a browser, why not go look at it in a browser? - There are no navigational buttons and address bar. Well, that's because it's a word processor. Basically, Writer is not Dreamweaver, just the same as Microsoft Word is not Dreamweaver. If you're trying to use Writer to edit websites, I'd strongly suggest you check out KompoZer, Bluefish or Amaya instead, or Google open source web editor or something, I'm sure there are other projects I haven't even heard of. I think you'll have much more success and be much happier using those tools than trying to use a word processor for something it's just not designed to do :-) This hasn't been designed to just criticise your ideas for no reason - if there is a real problem with Writer not doing something it's supposed to do, I'd like to understand what that problem is. And at the same time, if you're really swimming against the current, trying to use a spanner to hammer in nails, I would like to see your needs satisfied in a better way, probably with a different tool. Second, I suggest to make the Basic IDE a stand-alone LO component. It can be currently started with command soffice .uno:BasicIDEAppear and as I know there is a separate icon for Basic IDE. It would be great if a menu entry for this IDE was created by default, the menu of the IDE included all necessary entries for creating a new macro etc on their usual positions (i.e. in file menu) etc. As creating a compiler could be a very difficult task, it still could be used as interpreter for creating separate VB script files and run them from the console much like Python interpreter does. I haven't played with macros in LO much, but This sounds like a much better idea :-) Best regards, -r -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

When I spell-check and add to dictionary, LibO fails to add any word with a

right single quotes too.
OOo behaves like this too last I checked.
You're right, this sounds like silly behaviour. There should be some
smarts to realise that certain different characters can mean the same
thing when acting as an apostrophe. I'd imagine the time to check it
would be when the Add to dictionary function is called - if the word
appears to contain a straight quote Or a single right quote, add one
canonical version (maybe the single-quotes one) but let the spellcheck
function accept both ' and ’ as matching.
Have you filed a bug report about this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org?
If not, I think you should :-)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Invoice automation using macros
On Mon, 4 Apr 2011, Dag Wieers wrote: But the problem is that, contrary to user fields, date fields cannot be referenced in Basic (likely because they do not have a name). Or at least I cannot find it anywhere. With some help from the OpenOffice forums I solved this by not using fixed date fields, but rather using user fields (variables) with a Date format. The downside is that editing them is editing the number of days since Epoch (although it does accept a 2011.04.04 string). To use the below code as macro in your documents, simply create three user fields named InvoiceNumber (string), InvoiceDate (Date formatted) and DueDate (Date formatted), and use a filename that matches invoice-2001/03/011-customer.odt (year/month/number) or simply modify the code to do what you like ;-) And then link the below event-handlers to their respective event from Tools Customize Events.
