[libreoffice-users] How did y DOCX become read only?
Hi. Running LO 7.5.7.1 on Ubuntu 23.04. The goal here is to submit a DOCX to my editor who will do corrections etc to the document and put in margin comments. Said DOCX has to be read/write to do this. I've been assembling the DOCX by hand chapter by chapter, which is a pain in the butt. Enter the ODM. It makes sense to me that the ODM would b read-only. It's really just a collection of links. To get the the DOCX I did the following Save as... and exports, ODM -> ODT -> DOCX. The Read-Only attribute of the ODM has propagated through to the DOCX. Is there any way to remove this and make the DOCX read/write? I've tried a number of things, no joy. TY. -- Chris Johnson rchristopherjohn...@gmail.com Ex SysAdmin, now, writer/All my life, I always wanted to be somebody.

Hello jaye,
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Especially with regard to
internet issues. Although I personally am unlikely to be able to
assist with the LO design and layout, I hope some of the more expert
members of this list will step up and offer to help. One way would be
for you to email the screenshots to them directly. Since you attached
them to your original post, I hope you still have them on a USB stick
(or whatever).

I can understand their reticence, TBH.

There are many family history form templates available for download (to
USB stick, then to home), do none of them serve your need? (I suspect
the answer is "No - none are quite what I want").
Anyhow, to your original question: The LO download page has a link
"Help for offline use: {Language}" Where language will be, probably,
English GB. Download that file at the library. Don't worry about the
(Torrent, info) links, they're not really that useful to you.
The LO download page can be found at;
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/
The page 'helpfully' detects operating system and language which, being
in a library almost certainly means Windows is detected, but it is
possible to change the Operating System choice from a drop down list.
How you then go about installing the help files depends largely on which
OS you're using.
Good luck.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: trying to make a date box in a form, tried loads of times and I can't get it to work
Hi Brad,
My home pc isn't connected to the internet, I don't have a smart phone, I'm
using a computer in the public library, they don't allow access to stuff like
dropbox etc so there is no way I can upload the files, . There's nobody I can
ask to do it for me, I'm 77 and not many of the aged locals are into Ancestry
form making.
I can't even download the Help onto my home computer (no access to internet).
So, I guess I'll never get to know where I'm going wrong.
Thanks for answering though.
Jaye

They, as all attachments sent to this list do, got stripped.
Upload the images somewhere and post a link on list.
Thank you.
