Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder
Hi :) Sorry about scaring you! Hopefully you have picked up some good ways of doing this from some of the other threads. If the database is not small then there are tons of good back-ends any one of which would be great to use. I think Postgresql might be the best at the moment but you might also enjoy using MySql/MariaDb instead and there are other good ones. Hopefully it should be reasonably easy to migrate the tables and doing so should not affect tables and forms especially if they are built up from Queries rather than directly from the tables. If they were do directly refer to the tables then they probably do need a bit of editing but hopefully nothing too drastic. Apols for not replying sooner!

As I mentioned in my answer to Tom, if you use an external version of hsqldb, it can only be the same version number as the internal version provided with LO, else the old ODB files can no longer be opened. In other words, you can not install an external hsqldb jar and expect your old ODB(hsqldb) files to keep working, as this will throw an error. So yes, it still remains a possibility, but one that you may want to avoid if you still have old ODB files that use the internal hsqldb with an older revision number than the externa jar you plug into LO.

It is weird that a version of LO comes out the same week as the newest MSO after a 3 year wait between versions. I am glad LibreOffice does not make you wait 2 or 3 years between versions. And I would be glad if LO ever obtain the feature parity with MSO 2003.

The same is true for VBA - I have NEVER in all my years worked in a company where VBA was used...or macros come to think of it. Macros got a well deserved bad reputation as malware vectors in the late 90's. At that time, MSO (and probably other software) allowed unsigned macro execution by default; the behavior exploited in the late 90's. My understanding is the current practice (not just MSO) is to only allow properly signed macros to run without specific user intervention. Thus unsigned macros will not normally run when the file is given to another user limiting macros usefulness as a feature. A proper certificate is required to sign and release a file with macros to others and AFAIK this requires time and money to get from a third party. I would expect most (vast majority) of users to not even use macros. Outside of simple macros that can be recorded writing a macro requires some programming knowledge.

Re: [libreoffice-users] First Round of Questions for my Master Thesis
Hi :) Ok, found the list again at last; 1. Mostly just in LibreOffice but occasionally do some things in Ubuntu as well. I used to be very active in Ubuntu. 2. Depends on what you count as contribute. Many people say that i contribute nothing at all to LibreOffice as i only; answer questions in a very general way without delving into useful details, do a little bit of liaison between some of the lists and a tiny bit to some wiki-pages to help with formatting (ie not with content). So i kinda miss out on being really useful anywhere in the project. 3. User Support. I think 2 of the crucial roles in any project is Community Development and Team Leader. Jean of the Documentation Team is particularly good at the latter and often good at the former too. I think we need more people able to fill either role in some of the other lists but in a way that doesn't clash with whatever structures (if any) or people that those teams already have. It's an extremely tough balancing act.

No, I suspect that you are simply not following the advice given. *Don't* start a Math document. *Don't* use Insert | Object | Formula. Instead, forget about Math for the moment! In a text (Writer) document, type fn in a new paragraph and press F3. You will see the dummy numbered equation. Now double-click the equation: this will automatically open the Math sub-window and you can replace the dummy equation's definition by your own. I trust this helps. Brian Barker -- Dear Brian, Thank you very much for your reply. I just started a new Writer document, typed fn and then pressed F3, and got the same message: AutoText for Shortcut not found. Sincerely, Taang Zomi What version of LibreOffice are you using? Use Ctrl+F3 to open the AutoText dialog. Open the Standard folder in the Name window. Look for Formula Numbering in this list. I checked my LO versions. LO 3.5.7, 3.6.5, and 4.0.0.2 have it. I don't know when LO started putting this AutoText in the AutoText dialog, so if you have a version earlier than I do, you may not have it. --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

If the particular AutoText were missing, the error message should be AutoText for Shortcut 'fn' not found, whereas it is actually reported as AutoText for Shortcut '' not found - in other words, AutoText seems to be failing to pick up the shortcut fn in the first place.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Writer opens just the first 3 pages of a .doc document
Hi Jay, First of all, thanks for your prompt reply. The .DOC file was created by a third party and I received it via email. As far as I know, it was created with a recent version of Microsoft Office. I know the file is 7 pages long because I opened it via Google Docs/Drive first. But when I open it via LibreOffice, only 3 first pages are displayed and the bar at the bottom says Page 1/3. I'm using Version 3.6.4.3 (Build ID: 2ef5aff) on my Mac, but I tried to open the same document from a Windows 7 laptop, same version of LibreOffice... and exactly the same behaviour. I'd prefer not to upload the document publicly, as it is somewhat private. If you agree, I could send it to you via email so you and your team can have a look at it in a less public fashion. :-) Thank you!

Can you tell if there is actually some data missing, or just page count that differs? Number of total pages depend on font used, paragraph style setting, page margins, application algorithm to wrap paragraphs etc. It might be that you already have access to entire document. Given the difference (3:7) it is highly unlikely, but worth to check anyway. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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

Hi :) If you try using Nabble to view the thread then you get an option to upload a file there/here. First get to the right thread in Nabble by either 1. clicking on any of the links to Nabble in this email or 2. go to the official Libreoffice website and navigate to the thread Get help - Nabble (and then hunt for the thread with the right subject-line. Once here just reply to any of the posts. It gives you a box to type your message in. Just above the message box is an icon-bar with various things such as Bold and Italic but further along is a button More and the top option when you press that button is Upload file. That puts a link in the message box so that anyone can just click on that link and see the file you uploaded.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder
Hi Tom, Noel, Dan, Alex and the others were all quite helpful. I'm going to explore some of my options. Noel suggested H2 as a back end and I was impressed with its specs. I downloaded the program and was pleased with the very clear documentation. In Noel's last post he was good enough to point me to a step by step tutorial for replacing embedded HSQLDB with H2. Unfortunately, that server appears to be down the last few days. Nevertheless I was able to get a connection to the H2 backend with JDBC using the H2 documentation. I have run into some syntax and database naming differences which I shall have to clear up. I expect I shall have plenty of questions about Base's behavior as a client.

I think Postgresql might be the best at the moment but you might also enjoy using MySql/MariaDb instead and there are other good ones. Hopefully it should be reasonably easy to migrate the tables and doing so should not affect tables and forms especially if they are built up from Queries rather than directly from the tables.

I'm beginning to think I'd better start looking for a new back end. I've put a lot of work into this project. Tom, this is not a small database like an address book. After normalizing, my design has 16 tables.( with a few more coming as I've discovered as I feed more data into it.) If I connect to an external server is there any way I can save my forms and reports? Or shall I have to start anew ? My tables, queries and views were all produced using SQL and I have text copies of all of them to feed any server I might select. Transfer of data becomes a problem, of course.

That does of course mean it's still not the default setting. As I mentioned in my answer to Tom, if you use an external version of hsqldb, it can only be the same version number as the internal version provided with LO, else the old ODB files can no longer be opened. In other words, you can not install an external hsqldb jar and expect your old ODB(hsqldb) files to keep working, as this will throw an error. So yes, it still remains a possibility, but one that you may want to avoid if you still have old ODB files that use the internal hsqldb with an older revision number than the externa jar you plug into LO.
