[libreoffice-users] Who copies from who the cloud legend?

[libreoffice-users] copy-paste from non-LibO-text-source pastes previous clipboard contents not resolved with 4.1.1.2
The latest release of labor office (4.1.1.2) has still not addressed a long-standing bug that seriously diminishes the usefulness of the entire suite for anyone who actually uses it for any kind of active work requiring copying and pasting from within and without the program. Bug 62196 - EDITING: copy-paste from non-LibO-text-source pastes previous clipboard contents https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62196#add_comment Once you copy and paste within a Libra office document you can no longer copy and paste from an outside source into the document. The clipboard does not clear, it retains the last cut/copy from within Libra office and in order to bring in a copy from an external source, such as a web browser i.e. a link, you have to exit Libra office and restart it to clear the clipboard. This is extremely frustrating when gathering information from the web and trying to enter references and links into a document. While drafting this short note, in Libra office, I had to exit and restart the program in order to paste the references and links for the bug. It is really quite a basic and often used function Does anyone know how to get this fixed? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/copy-paste-from-non-LibO-text-source-pastes-previous-clipboard-contents-not-resolved-with-4-1-1-2-tp4073290.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

[libreoffice-users] Ctrl+F Dialog Quirk
Hi: I'm using LibreOffice Version 4.0.5.2 (Build ID: 5464147a081647a250913f19c0715bca595af2f) on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS). If the Find Toolbar is neither docked or displayed, and the Ctrl+F command is used to display it, the cursor is not placed in the search panel as I would expect (i.e. why would one call up the Find panel if not to search for something?). If the Find Toolbar is docked or displayed, the cursor moves to the dialog as expected when Ctrl+F is pressed or the menu option is chosen. Thus, if you elect not to have the dialog displayed as a matter of course (I like to devote as much space as possible to the document I'm working on), and you forget to press Ctrl+F TWICE when calling it up, you end up typing the search term into the document itself, which is annoying. It's actually been this way for a while, but I held off asking until I had loaded 4.0.5. I suppose this behavior might be a matter of opinion, but it seems like it might be a bug to me. Any Comments?

[libreoffice-users] Title Bar Formatting in Various Dialogs (Bug??)
Hi:I'm using LibreOffice Version 4.0.5.2 (Build ID: 5464147a081647a250913f19c0715bca595af2f) on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS).When using Writer, I noticed that the title text placement in various dialogs seems a little bizarre. The best way to describe this is with a few examples: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4073305/Libre_Word_Count_Bug.png Note that, on the Word Count dialog, the values for both Character counts are cut off on the left side, almost as if the width of the Word Count field were used for all the values.On the Styles and Formatting panel, the header title shows only Styles and . http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4073305/Libre_Title_Placement_Bug-1.png The width of the panel needs to be extended a fair amount (far more than the style names require) in order for the title to be displayed correctly; this is shown in the third illustration. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4073305/Libre_Title_Placement_Bug-2.png I suppose it's possible that something in my own setup is doing this but, if so, I can't figure out what it might be.

We might be able to deal with issues directly and if not then we can signpost you to more appropriate places. I'm not sure why OfficeSecurity is involved so they might be dropped from subsequent replies. Base forms and reports 'should' be written in Writer or Calc rather than in Base itself shouldn't they? That would protect users from seeing the Base interface and just present normal users with the familiar interface they get in Writer or Calc. Base forms are created using Writer, but they are *not* the same thing as X-Forms. The purpose of forms in Base is to enter data into the tables of the database. This is not a purpose that X-Forms in Writer nor anything in Calc can provide. --Dan With macros i think the problem is that MS uses a different language for macros and their macros keep being used as an attack vector for malware. So, all sorts of ways have had to be built to prevent macros from executing whenever they want.

And I thought a very good tool, however I would like to send some suggestions. The suggestions are: 1 - Password Option to prevent the drawing mode for end users, objects from the database as Forms, Tables, Reports, and Macros 2 - Option to start creating a form that would be a menu option to open other forms, views, tables, queries and reports. 3 - Boot Options to a database, with the ability to more easily hide the toolbars and menus. End users are not familiar with many tools and buttons. And they need ease and simplicity to be able to use a program. 4 - To have to import macros, and ask the password protection code, discourages programmers to distribute databases for end-users and even by the internet. Ideally macros not needed to be imported, and they would only be allocated in a sub-folder of the archive database. If these options could be implemented, surely this would stimulate much MsAccess programmers to migrate to LibreOfficeBase. Thank you.

I'm not sure why OfficeSecurity is involved so they might be dropped from subsequent replies. Base forms and reports 'should' be written in Writer or Calc rather than in Base itself shouldn't they? That would protect users from seeing the Base interface and just present normal users with the familiar interface they get in Writer or Calc.

This is not a purpose that X-Forms in Writer nor anything in Calc can provide. --Dan With macros i think the problem is that MS uses a different language for macros and their macros keep being used as an attack vector for malware. So, all sorts of ways have had to be built to prevent macros from executing whenever they want. Sadly, LibreOffice uses a different version of Basic that doesn't seem to have had security issues out in the wild (afaik). A couple of times people have been urged to upgrade to new branches to avoid known issues that were fixed in the newer branch but that was almost entirely preventative rather than reactive. I think LibreOffice even allows a few other languages to be used, such as Python.

I think it would be a good idea to add a shortcut when you are Editing Text to make bigger the zoom with Ctrl+ Plus(+) and smaller with Ctrl+ Minus(-) like the internet browsers. In normal view there is a zoom in and zoom out shortcut with Plus(+) and Minus(-) Keys, but not at the editing mode. https://help.libreoffice.org/Impress/Shortcut_Keys_for_Impress In fact, I think it would be better to use the Ctrl+ Plus(+) and Ctrl+ Minus(-) in the normal view too, because its a more standard way. No need to wait for a software update - you should be able to customise your keyboard shortcuts to do almost anything: - From the menu: Tools Customise - Open the Keyboard tab - In the list of shortcut keys in the top half, select Ctrl++ (it's already assigned to do something else on my setup, but you can change that) - From the functions list, select: - Category: View - Function: Zoom In - Click Modify, and Ctrl++ should now be assigned to zoom in rather than whatever it did before Do likewise for Ctrl+- and Zoom Out. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to work across all LibreOffice applications by selecting the LibreOffice to the right of the shortcut keys list rather than the single application name. However, you may have to remove application-specific assignments (e.g. for me, by default, Ctrl++ is assigned to Bring Forwards in Impress, to Calculate in Writer and to Insert Cells in Calc - those shortcuts would override any LibreOffice global shortcut unless I removed them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggestions: Sorry but the feedback page is not working, I am sending by email
Hi :) We were really talking about macros that run inside the document rather than talking about writing programs. I think one really good way to learn Python right now is to join in with the devs in LibreOffice. There are a list of Easy hacks and you can pick 1 or 2 and then write your code for it and ask the devs for feedback. I think there is even a chance of getting a named mentor to help guide you (although i'm not sure if that idea is still going). If you are new to programming or don't feel confident then you could do a few of the Easy hacks until you worked out the preferred ways of doing things. Books and theoretical class-room exercises might be good and interesting but dealing with and solving real-world problems is even better for most subjects imo.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggestions: Sorry but the feedback page is not working, I am sending by email
Hi :) It's fine posting to the Users List to start with. We might be able to deal with issues directly and if not then we can signpost you to more appropriate places. I'm not sure why OfficeSecurity is involved so they might be dropped from subsequent replies. Base forms and reports 'should' be written in Writer or Calc rather than in Base itself shouldn't they? That would protect users from seeing the Base interface and just present normal users with the familiar interface they get in Writer or Calc. With macros i think the problem is that MS uses a different language for macros and their macros keep being used as an attack vector for malware. So, all sorts of ways have had to be built to prevent macros from executing whenever they want. Sadly, LibreOffice uses a different version of Basic that doesn't seem to have had security issues out in the wild (afaik). A couple of times people have been urged to upgrade to new branches to avoid known issues that were fixed in the newer branch but that was almost entirely preventative rather than reactive. I think LibreOffice even allows a few other languages to be used, such as Python. So, if people write macros using the language(s) that LibreOffice uses then presumably those macros don't have to be imported/converted? Sorry i don't know any of this from 1st hand experience but just have my opinions built-up from the many posts on the Users List about these topics so i could easily have misunderstood things.

And I thought a very good tool, however I would like to send some suggestions. The suggestions are: 1 - Password Option to prevent the drawing mode for end users, objects from the database as Forms, Tables, Reports, and Macros 2 - Option to start creating a form that would be a menu option to open other forms, views, tables, queries and reports. 3 - Boot Options to a database, with the ability to more easily hide the toolbars and menus. End users are not familiar with many tools and buttons. And they need ease and simplicity to be able to use a program. 4 - To have to import macros, and ask the password protection code, discourages programmers to distribute databases for end-users and even by the internet. Ideally macros not needed to be imported, and they would only be allocated in a sub-folder of the archive database. If these options could be implemented, surely this would stimulate much MsAccess programmers to migrate to LibreOfficeBase. Thank you.

What did the designer do with the individual characters and punctuation marks and whatever else may be in the font regarding white space in the glyph itself? It seems logical to me that's going to make a difference in whether the spacing after a period, for example, should be 1, 1.5, or 2 spaces. And maybe, you'll just have to do some manual kerning. Or... Am I missing something? Ken, I don't think you're missing anything, but most of us aren't using LO to prepare the *final* version of a document for professional publication (i.e., books, magazines, etc.). I would truly hope that a publishing house would do more than just take a word processing document and print it out in book format. (In fact, many professional writers use nothing more than Notepad, saying their publishers strip all user-inserted formatting anyway). So, if there's any manual kerning to be done, I would expect that to be done on a level far above LO. When I argue for one space instead of two, I'm thinking in terms of business letters, memos, legal briefs (I'm a lawyer) or scholastic papers (I also teach at our local university). These are the types of documents I prepare with LO, and when preparing them, I want to follow professional typographic standards as much as I can. Ergo, one space. But, manual kerning goes beyond what I think should be expected of anyone on this level of document preparation. Virgil, I understand wanting to follow best shop practices for printing. Which is why I'm just starting out on giving LyX a run for some things I want to write. But, even being that anal (LOL), it doesn't answer my questions about the design of the font itself, and the effect of the design, regardless of who does the final setup of the document. I kinda stayed out of the one space or two discussion, but if you look at this post, which has both your style (one space) and mine (two spaces), when it's a monospace font as I see this post I find the single space more difficult to read. Not terribly, but harder. :-) If if the font is proportional, I generally stumble at the beginning when reading a document of some kind that has single spaces at the end of the sentence until the brain adjusts. Too often, my brain interprets a single spacing at the end of a sentence as just one long, very long, run on sentence. :-) When I get the time, and have a reason to use LO again, I'm going to go into the autocorrect function and see if I can follow my own suggestion in another thread about substitution of a different space when the right punctuation/space combinations are typed, following my ingrained habits. LOL Kind of an off topic questions, but don't a lot of legal papers use full justification? -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.4 Firefox 23.0 Thunderbird 17.0.8 LibreOffice 4.1.04 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

I would truly hope that a publishing house would do more than just take a word processing document and print it out in book format. I know of several publishers who work directly from ODF files. With a couple of exceptions, Writer has most of the tools needed for a thoroughly professional design job, allegedly because when the original code was being written in the days of Star Division, they were told they would have to use what they wrote for documentation. The trick is to know what options to use, and which to ignore (topics that, if you forgive the shameless plug, I am currently grappling with the book I am writing with Jean Hollis Weber). For now, I'll just say that Writer is not a word processor so much as an intermediate desktop publishing program.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base: Automatically Open a Form?
Off hand, the only way I know to do that is to 1. write a macro that is able to open a form 2. Assign the macro to run on a document open event. There may be another way, but not of which I am aware.
