Re: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector

Jim, MORE threatening language? Witness a large mind at work. So, Jim, you find being bored more objectionable than backchannel bullying. Got it. This actually isn't about you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing windows explorer extension only
Hi :) I think the main point here is that it's an example of where Urmas is really helpful and he/she deserves credit for that. I didn't understand it as it is too technical and beyond my understanding but it looks like something that might be a good answer. I avoid touching the Windows registry but i'm guessing that Chris is able to assess the potential problems there. On a side-issue ... The ones where Urmas does help are often highly technical. That raises the question of whether Urmas is a dev and just socially clumsy as so many are. Apparently Microsoft have recognised that many engineers and devs have high functioning aspergers syndrome or, even further along the spectrum, autism and that where both parents have such conditions their children are much more likely to have the condition(s). So apparently MS health insurance covers the cost of their employees getting their children tested for just those sorts of condition(s). Mainstream society seems to consider such conditions as disabilities but it seems that in some cases they can actually be a benefit, as long as you can accept the social awkwardness and social clumsiness that comes with the turf. Going out into the wider IT community many of us probably have OCD traits and other conditions but often at such low levels that we might not notice it. Again a lot of this might help with the work we do but probably doesn't help us be sociably adept. So i think we have to accept interesting oddities in the way we and the people around us behave in order to benefit from the thing we/they are good at. Another side-issue ...

Hi :) Many thanks for posting the answer back to this mailing-list. That is likely to greatly improve the chances of people finding the fix for it when it crops up again. Oddly the coding brackets meant that my emailing system just left great big empty gaps so it was only when i used Nabble that i was able to see the answer.

[libreoffice-users] Question about fonts and forms in Writer
Hi! I'm converting a Word document into a form that will eventually be a PDF form that can be filled in using Adobe Reader. I'm doing this in LibreOffice Writer 4.2.3.3 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04. My first pass worked splendidly well and everything worked fine except for two issues: 1. I can't seem to control the font used in the form controls, namely the text boxes 2. I can't get the text boxes to align text at the top (despite my setting the form control to align text at the top) Does anyone reading this list have much experience with creating forms in Writer? With regard to issue #2, when I enter text into a text box, it's vertically centered vs being aligned along the top of the text box. This is when I view the generated PDF file in Ubuntu's PDF document viewer, the text I typed wasn't aligned at the top of the text box. I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu document view issue or an issue with the generated PDF file. I'll test in Adobe Reader later. With regard to issue #1, is there any way to control the font used for the text boxes in a form? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance! Peace...

Yes, in the IT world it is quite common for technically talented people to exhibit impaired social skills. Not really, in my experience.

My experience may be limited, but that still leaves us with.. whether Urmas is a dev and just socially clumsy as so many are. Most clearly not. His answers often are not just pro Microsoft or commercial software, but often derogatory of Open Source, and often outright wrong, not just in terms of beliefs that are known to be incorrect, but in terms of quoting actual facts that are wrong. Sometimes even quoted with references, showing that he went to some trouble to construct his false arguments. Maybe not often, but I'm sure I've seen it in the past. Which shows clearly that he is not just socially inept, but actually trying to troll. Equally, some of the off list messages that have recently been shown on this list are not just lacking in social graces, they are quite clearly rude and obscene. So I suggest... The only way to stop it entirely is to encourage them to go away. That this would be a good idea. Despite the question of... Then what are you left with? Who will answer your questions and solve your problems? Other people. I've only seen Urmas be usefull I think twice, and in those cases I really don't know how useful his information actually was. Potentially very, I suppose, but I don't feel the need to keep him around just for that. But that's only my opinion, of course. Spreading FUD is one thing, but being abusive and using obscene language I don't really want to have to put up with. But that said, we're stuck with... the reality that, in a venue such as this, you're going to encounter such people. Unfortunate but true. I once asked if we could ban Urmas, and was told no, he'd just come back in a new guise. I'm still not sure how I feel about this, but unfortunately it is quite likely true that even if we did ban him, he would just sign up again under a new name. He seems intent on trolling this list. And at least at the moment we all mostly know who he is and know to just ignore his stuff. As this is the internet, and therefor devoid (rightly so) of physical involvement, there really is nothing we can do to *make* him stop, not so long as the list is public. Best we could do would be to moderate everything, and just not let his stuff past moderation, but that takes effort on someone's part. I'm not willing to go to all that trouble myself, so I'd rather just ignore him. I'm not sure what Tom Cloyd is thinking of here, but he seems to have an idea about how to proceed. Personally, I don't think it will work, but I'd still be willing to hear it. And if one doesn't think one should be trying to intimidate Urmas into leaving, what on earth makes one think one should be intimidating Tom Cloyd into leaving? Name calling and nastiness doesn't belong on this list, in my opinion. If people get tedious, speak your mind, tell them politely what your opinion is, preferably make a constructive suggestion, then leave it be. If you can't change their mind, ignore them. This is a public list, you are free to ignore whatever part of it you want. Just my thoughts on a matter that has the potential to spiral out of control. Feel free to disagree, but politely, please.

Hi :) Disagreements are fine imo. They lead to discussions and maybe even to thinking in a new way or taking on new ideas. Often we just get entrenched in old thought-patterns but at least the other people on the mailing list can then assess the qualities of the ideas. Clearly me and Tom disagree on some things but i already consider him yet another person who was just a friend i just hadn't met yet. As i find so many on this list are. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what Paul said and i'm glad to hear Philip's points. I don't think that intimidation is a good idea and hopefully it's unfeasible anyway.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about fonts and forms in Writer
Hi :) Can you right-click on the boxes or select them all and set their properties? Err, when you say converting a Word document into a form - for most things it is often better to start off with a fresh document in ODF format when you find yourself struggling with odd weirdnesses. Documents that were previously in some other format, particularly MS formats (especially the various versions of DocX or Rtf), often have tons of hidden coding stuffing things up. A fresh start often helps. ODF is the better format for stability between different versions of software. How about Chapter 15 in this guide? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide I haven't read it so i don't know if it covers setting properties for the boxes Regards from Tom :) On 11 May 2014 17:59, Tom Williams tomd...@comcast.net wrote: Hi!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector
Yes, if I understand Mr. Stoellinger's problem correctly, it is the MySQL server (aka back-end) which is dropping his connection. According to my MySQL documentation, by default, the MySQL server drops any connection after 8 hours of continuous connection. However, Mr. Stoellinger's admin has reduced that time to 60 seconds! IMHO, that is ridiculous, but it must be the policy at his institution, so he must live with it.

Base is occasionally used to work with a MySQL/MariaDB backend. I usually use MySQL Workbench or HeidiSQL via Wine to work with MySQL/MariaDB. Draw is used maybe once a year.

Yes, I can and that's how I set two of the text boxes to align the entered text at the top, instead of the middle. I'll try my PDF form in Adobe Reader now and will see how it behaves. Err, when you say converting a Word document into a form - for most things it is often better to start off with a fresh document in ODF format when you find yourself struggling with odd weirdnesses. Documents that were previously in some other format, particularly MS formats (especially the various versions of DocX or Rtf), often have tons of hidden coding stuffing things up. A fresh start often helps. ODF is the better format for stability between different versions of software. Thanks for mentioning this. I'll keep this in mind. :) How about Chapter 15 in this guide? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide I haven't read it so i don't know if it covers setting properties for the boxes Great!

I can't get the text boxes to align text at the top (despite my setting the form control to align text at the top) Does anyone reading this list have much experience with creating forms in Writer? With regard to issue #2, when I enter text into a text box, it's vertically centered vs being aligned along the top of the text box. This is when I view the generated PDF file in Ubuntu's PDF document viewer, the text I typed wasn't aligned at the top of the text box. I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu document view issue or an issue with the generated PDF file. I'll test in Adobe Reader later.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?
HI Anne, Yes a very interesting question:- Me:- Writer and Calc extensively all the time even on my Samsung tablet (running under Ubuntu but that's another story) 33% each Draw I use at least once a day. (I like it --- it is a very good easy to use application) 22% Impress I use often. (I find it better than MS PowerPoint. Impress has less bugs and is easier to use.)11% Base I use rarely. 1% I have this idea that when (if) I retire I will dedicate much of my time to helping make base a useable application but at the moment it just does not fulfil any requirements but that does not mean that I think it should be suspended because I do think that it has the prospect of being something excellent but needs much more development and that takes time and developers. I find that LO does not handle Visio files very well either yet. This makes Access and Visio the only two MSO applications I still use. (Oh! And outlook which the company I work for insists on everyone using).
