Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Large fonts
Hi :) Tink when you try to solve the initial problem by doing clear direct formatting you are clearing the 400 and forcing it back to the style's size! So it might be better to set a style, or create a new style and set that to have font size 400 (or whatever). As for the initial problem i don't suffer from that on LO 3.5.7 on Ubuntu. I thought that the Mac version was the same as the GnuLinux (Ubuntu, Mint, Redhat, openSuSE, Mageia etc) one but it would make sense if it's the BSD one instead. Even so i thought the BSD one was almost identical to the GnuLinux one. I think it's only the Windows one that is much different. Sadly i can't try out more recent versions of LO on this machine easily. At work i was on a much more recent version but i didn't try to click back into the document after setting the size to 400. Grrr, sorry about that! It's interesting to hear that other people don't seem to be having a problem with a directly typed-in value for font size but i'm wondering if they clicked into the document again afterwards. I'm wondering if your or my machine has a wonky UserProfile or if it's something else. So is it possible to re-use an existing style or create a new called HugeFont or something and then set that font to 400? Does that do the trick?

That means you can probably print it and do I should point out that I didn't select any text when I set the 400 point size. If I select text then set the point size, the text selected does change size, and I can click into that area and retain size, etc. various things but it is limiting. For example if you save it then open again doe the saved version retain the 400 point? Yes, I saved and re-opened the file without issue. My font size does not readjust after i clcik back in so i can't test the parameters of this but it seems like a bug to me. That depends. If the OP is setting point size w/o any text selection and clicking back into the document, I'm not surprised that font settings are, seemingly, lost. Why? Because I find it's very hard to click in exactly the right spot to hit the cursor at the new font size delimiting point. However, extracting the content.xml part of the saved .odt file shows that the font and size are set, but contain no text. At least, that's what I think it's showing. -- Regards _ / ) The blindingly obvious is / _)radnever immediately apparent It's becoming an obsession Teenage Depression - Eddie The Hot Rods -- 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

Hi There, I've researched and experimented with this, and I'm out of ideas. For starters: LibréOffice 3.5.7.2, Build ID: 350m1 (Build: 2) Before anybody suggests a newer version: I'm currently on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx), so I'm stuck with it. (Even my much newer Linux Mint desktop install at work is still 3.x, I believe.) I have a database with a couple tables, as in create table hdwr_assets ( atag text primary key, serno text unique, status_id int references hdwr_status, . . . ); -- e.g.: deployed, in stock create table hdwr_status ( status_id serial primary key, descr textnot null, ); The plan was to create a form that could query and alter hardware assets, selecting values for status_id from a drop-down list, the available selection being from the hardware status table. Near as I can tell: The Forms Wizard simply isn't that smart? Interestingly: A Query created in Design View DTRT, wrt FK references, but I can't persuade the Forms Wizard to do so. In fact: FK references in the Forms Wizard appear to be thoroughly broken--at least in the version of LO I have? Is there any way to accomplish what I want, or am I going to have to resort to Real Coding (Java, HTML+PHP+JS or whatever)?

Off topic, but I'm just so surprised that nobody complained about shouting (using upper case letters)… and about top posting. Johnny Rosenberg Well, as to the shouting, I guess I kind of assumed the OP was new to this, and didn't want to criticize, but you're right, somebody should have corrected him. Top posting is the preferred way to reply. At least for me. I really don't understand why some people insist on bottom posting and making the lives of everyone reading the thread more difficult, but that's just my opinion.

Personally I prefer this way, I'm not sure what to call it, but I'm doing it right now… It is called bottom or in-line posting, and is preferred by the more technically inclined. It is primarily Outlook users who prefer blind top-posting (ie, quoting the entire message they are replying to and adding their comment at the top). Most people who are rabidly anti bottom/inline posting will go out of their way to complain about how bad bottom posting is, and will invariably use BLIND bottom posting - quoting the ENTIRE message ABOVE your comment, which is admittedly way WORSE than blind top-posting - as examples of why bottom/inline posting is bad. They almost always simply refuse to even acknowledge the difference between BLIND bottom posting, and inline posting (quoting only the relevant portion, and putting your responses/comments AFTER the relevant quoted text, which is much cleaner and easier to read than even top-posting, mainly because you can clearly see the full context). -- 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] Forms in Spreadsheets

Checkout has the following columns A: Code B: Item C: Opening Bid D: Paddle Num E: Buyer Name (contains =VLOOKUP(D2,$PaddleNumbers.A$2:B$110,2,0) suitable incremented) F: Amount while PaddleNumbers has A: Paddle NUM B: Name I would like to add a form so that a person can enter a Code, a Paddle Number and an Amount, and have those fields (including Buyer Name) populated. The tutorials I've found have been for Excel and an older OO Calc, and I have not been able to figure it would. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Large fonts
Hi :) Good point! So you can keep the 400-point font size as long as you don't click back in. That means you can probably print it and do various things but it is limiting. For example if you save it then open again doe the saved version retain the 400 point?

[libreoffice-users] Defending ODF against OOXML in the UK
Hi everyone, I already posted this on the LibreOffice Google+ and Facebook pages, but there are probably quite a few people subscibed to this list who are not following either one. The UK government plans to move to open standards like ODF and HTML and apparently Microsoft didn't know that people can voice their opinions on the proposal since January and started to spread some FUD once again a few days ago. If you think that truly open standards are a better solution than OOXML, then it'd be beneficial if you registered on the standards.data.gov.uk page and commented. In 3 days, comments will be closed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HOW CAN I CONVERT A NUMBER IN LibreOffice CALC TO TEXT IN LibreOffice CALC?
Here we go again. There is top-posting, which is, in general, a good thing, and is preferred by most email users, including the technically inclined, like myself. Its primary advantage is that it is a great courtesy to the readers of email threads, who can quickly assess a contribution to the thread for relevance to them. A secondary advantage for the poster is that it increases the likelihood that the new material will actually be read, or at least skimmed. There is in-line posting, which is necessary when you need to reply to specific points in a previous post. You can put your comments into the immediate context to which they apply. This is also a good thing, if the circumstances require it. Then there is bottom-posting. It's a kind of virus that contaminates, primarily, open-source mailing lists. When a poster is infected he (yes, overwhelmingly, he) is overcome with the urge to tell people what to do. He is filled with a (completely spurious) sense of righteousness. He is a rebel, he is liberated, he carries the banner of freedom (free as in speech) against the grinding capitalist forces of oppression and regimentation. Therefore, you MUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD. And so the champions of freedom become tuppenny Trotskys, low-rent Lenins, and we can say a quiet prayer of thanks that their influence extends no farther than the occasional mailing-list. How do I know? I've been there. I am now afflicted by a complementary virus. I am equally righteous and insufferable. I know, I know. But my desire is to see all of this nonsense fade away into an easy-going environment of live and let live. Bakunin before Lenin, and classical small-l liberalism before either.

Bottom and Top posting seems to be a personal preference often pursued with religious zeal (as you mention below). While quickly browsing, top posting is easier to follow unless your email client hides all previous posts for you. I installed an extension to do this in Thunderbird; without it, bottom posting is almost impossible to follow. The extension makes it easy to follow ongoing conversations regardless, but is annoying if you were not following things from the start and want to catch-up :-( in-line posting seems to be assumed for Thunderbird. Makes the response more like a conversation. It is primarily Outlook users who prefer blind top-posting (ie, quoting the entire message they are replying to and adding their comment at the top). You must work hard to get Outlook to do anything else. I know you used to be able to convince Outlook to do otherwise. I don't even know if you can still do that. Every time MS releases a new version of something these days, it usually feels like I need to relearn the product. It annoys me. My limited exposure says that every large company using Outlook likely works in this way.
