Hi :) I got this message off-list. It doesn't seem to have anything controversial or confidential so i'm sending it back to the mailing list. Please use Reply to all rather than just Reply. If the message goes to just 1 person they might not be around for a while and no-one else can check the quality or accuracy of their/my answers. So, it's Win7 having problems opening documents and the LibreOffice program itself suddenly (as in it had worked previously). A reinstall of LibreOffice (well, an upgrade of LO) didn't fix the problem. The machine is being rebooted. Could it be something weird in the User Profile for LO? It seems VERY unlikely to me. The symptom of sudden onset and worked fine previously usually suggests that to me but the result seems VERY unlikely. I'm hoping the reboot fixed it!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Neat Writer Feature -- Relative Font Sizes
Hi :) Styles rock!!! :)) I didn't know they could go that extreme and usually try to switch-off the relative font-sizes because the idea freaks me out. It feels like everything goes outside of my direct control! However that means i would have to adjust each heading-level individually which now seems really dumb. If i have a case where i don't like the headings i could just re-adjust just the one rather than always having to do them all! lqtm.

In the font size dialog box, rather than setting it at 14 points, I'll set it at 125%. Then, whenever I change the size of my base font, my heading styles automatically change based on the percentage. This technique saves a lot of effort when changing font sizes in a document. The key is to know what style is used as the base style for the heading styles.

Ahh, control. That's one of the reasons I like LO; it gives me control over *everything*. By comparison, when I've used LaTeX, I've been overcome by the beautiful results, but the trade-off is that I lose control. But, one of the things I've always liked about LaTeX is that, by changing one parameter, like the base font size, everything else automatically changes (heading sizes, page margins, ... everything). I was thrilled to find out I had a similar ability with LO's relative font size controls. Just another way styles provide even *more* control with fewer steps.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Similar Problem?
John, I tried creating a new configuration like you suggested. I ran for several days with no empty files being created. Yesterday, I went in and clicked the Always Create Back up Copy. This morning I was on and made a few changes to the data base, ran a report, and then went to save the report. The saving process seem to take a long time to complete. I have been running Gkrellm to watch what is happening. I noticed that my disk activity went very high. I then looked and saw empty files being created in the backup directory. I then closed the data base and disk activity went down to normal levels. I then went and turned off the Always create back up option. I will continue to monitor the directory to see if this is the option that is causing me problems. Hopefully this will lead someone to figure out what is happening. Is it possible that the backup process requires locking the file (aka getting exclusive access) while doing the backup and, because the database is open, it cannot get a successful lock and is looping in trying to get the lock?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Neat Writer Feature -- Relative Font Sizes
e-letter wrote, What control is lost in latex? Fair question, and I probably should have worded it better. Yes, with LaTeX, you can control everything, but (at least in my experience) the learning curve to gain that control can be daunting. The GUI of LyX makes things easier, but even then, if you want total control, you're mixing in raw TeX commands with options selected from a menu, all the while throwing in a long list of preamble commands, all of which can take a long time to learn. The point and click options in LO make things *so* much more accessible. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that LO can't match the professional final output of LaTeX, (especially with LaTeX's OSF font options and the Microtype justification package), but it's getting closer, and certainly acceptable for my purposes. So, to make matters easier, when using LaTeX, I try to stick with the its default formatting, which results in a (voluntary) loss of control.

Yes, with LaTeX, you can control everything, but (at least in my experience) the learning curve to gain that control can be daunting. The GUI of LyX makes things easier, but even then, if you want total control, you're mixing in raw TeX commands with options selected from a menu, all the while throwing in a long list of preamble commands, all of which can take a long time to learn. The point and click options in LO make things *so* much more accessible.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer record changes feature
How about saving the changed document under a different name; when I'm unsure of changes, I'll save a document with a - following the name then when I return to the documents I have the first, unchanged one, and the working one with that - following it. In this way, you can make any number of changes by merely adding additional -s (or choose any character); these will all be saved together so you can promptly see how many, etc. Just another KISs solution ;-) From: Alan B abo...@gmail.com Date: Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 7:18 PM Subject: [libreoffice-users] Writer record changes feature To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org With the record changes feature turned on and the show changes feature enabled any changes made to a Writer document are clearly seen.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer record changes feature
Thanks for the thought. It's not quite as KISS as I'd like though. I haven't used MS Word for a while, when I did, this was available. It was possible to see a document in it's original form, with all edits displayed, or as if all edits are accepted. That function, or a close approximation, is what I'm hoping is available. -Alan -- 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

Dale. Made me look Dale, you're right. It is the changed document that's shown as if edits have been accepted. That's only half of what I am looking for though. Would like to be able to toggle state between original, edits displayed, and edits accepted versions of the document. Accepted in quotes because they wouldn't really have been committed otherwise the other document states would be lost. In the MS Word of a few years ago this was straightforward to do (could click icons on a tool bar) and something that I found very convenient. Especially going back to the original document to be sure my edits hadn't changed the meaning. -Alan -- 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

Dale. ...and p.s. sorry to get folks off on the wrong track. I was hurrying through an unfamiliar document and thought I saw the original when show changes wasn't enabled. Regardless of that, seeing the three states of the document, original, with edits, and edits accepted is what I'm hoping to be able to do. -Alan -- 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
