Yes, that's right.  I actually want the roman number 'iii' to appear in
the automatic TOC as it does on the page being referenced.  Now the strange
thing is that if I insert a bookmark on that page and put the bookmark
reference in a manual TOC, it gets the roman number bit right.  So why
can't the automatic TOC?

Jonathan



But I get what you want in automatic TOC. Have one page style for Arabic 
numbers, and one page style for roman numerals.


I set page number format when creating or editing page style. In tab 
Page (right click on page style and choose modify) set roman numerals in 
filed Page numbers. Do respectively for Arabic numbers.


Just insert TOC.

Maybe your page styles are not designed right?

I'm using 5.3.3 on GNU/Linux. Maybe is that particular document. What do 
you get when try to do that on a brand new document?

First make custom numbering style and set numbers to be lower numerals.

Make new paragraph style that you will use on pages where you have roman 
numerals as page numbers. You can base that custom style on the style 
you're currently using.


When making new paragraph style, in tab Outline and numbering choose 
numbering style you've made from a drop down in field Numbering style.


Use that paragraph style on pages with roman numerals.

When inserting table of contents, check Additional styles from a dialog 
window. Click Add styles. Move your custom style to level one. Click OK.


-

If you set everything as said here - you'll get desired results. Just 
remember, your newly created style will just look like Heading 1, but 
will actually be at text body level. That's a trade-off. If you set 
custom style to level one in Tools → Outline and numbering, you won't be 
able to use Heading 1.


It's not that complicated, just need to understand how the whole system 
work.


There's more to it, more could be done, but this should suffice. More 
explaining equals more complexity and more chance to get/do something wrong.

making a TOC is easy.  But, If I try to make an .odm master, following

Odm files are read only and you can not edit linked documents within master.

Go back to navigator and place 'Text' item to desired position and 
that's the only part of master document you can edit. Place your cursor 
there and insert table of contents.

Under "save as" I cannot find anything resembling "html", so the file  
has to be "exported" as xhtml.

But THAT give you all that computer language, which will NOT! be paid.


Well, shouldn't be like that :) ODT file format is also markup and  
Writer doesn't include that to word count when you edit odt files.  
Writer reads (x)html so it should not count markup tags. If it does -  
it's Writer's fault. It's problem with counter or with Writer's  
capabilities in reading (x)html. Shouldn't be like that




So the count for a test file I opened should be somewhere around 30  
pages (translation), but the word/character count

in Writer gives a count like 350 pages.


That's problem with page brakes, not words (or word count). I can spread  
30 words on 30 pages or have them all on one page, but that should still  
be 30 words.



If the companies would pay me that much, that would be wonderfull,  
however that is unfortunately not how the world works ...


When I export it as html, I get a count of 52 words. That is obviously  
not correct either.


And yes, seams something wrong with word count of html documents opened  
in Writer. My test document has 62 words. Saved it as html, opened it in  
Writer, counter says 70. But when I count by hand - still 62 words on  
screen.


What you can do now is save that as plain text and then reopen in  
Writer. That _will_ give you correct word count.


Jorge's solution is better but complicated for that much.

There must be some software you can obtain without fees and legally that  
can do word count on HTML files as that would save you trouble of  
endless re-saving in different formats.




Apparently, this does not work.


I'll argue it does :D

This gets into what constitutes a word. Definitions here are crucial.
In your example, you gave both 62 and 70 as options.
* If the 70 is based upon a printer's word, then there are 84 words, as
counted by typists;
* If the 70 is based upon a typist's word, then there are 58 words, as
counted by printers;
* If the 70 is based upon one of the other definitions of a word, then
there are at least two more equally legitimate values that _accurately_
state the number of words in the text;

Getting back to Thomas' issue. How does the contract in question define
"word"?  Once that is known, then an explanation of how to accurately
determine the number of words in the Impress file can be provided.

jonathon


I understand how mismatch in word count can happen by different  
definition on what word is, but how _same software_ can show different  
word count for HTML file and different for text file base only on file  
format (basically both plain text). HTML doesn't do anything what would  
change definition of a word thus mismatch in word count shouldn't be  
happening.


Writer shouldn't show different word count for odt file and different  
for docx file. Same for plain text and HTML.


Feel free to correct me as I want to understand this better.

[libreoffice-users] Copying first paragraf after page brake also copies page brake with page style

Hello,

I don't know if this is a known thing but I use LO for a long time now

direct formated first paragraph. Now, if I copy that paragraph to other 
part of a document -- paragraph is copied with page the page style 
inserting page brake. That's weird.


What's even more weird is that pasting as unformatted with CTRL + Shift 
+ V pastes text without page break but with direct formating. Pasting as 
unformatted text does not strips formating, just page brake.


I'm on Debian using LibreOffice 5.7.2 with Croatian interface and locale 
settings.


Can anybody comment and provide more info if this is known thing?

Page breaks are a property of the paragraph: you'll find them on the "text

design: Writer is "content focused" instead of "page focused", so is the
text what define where a page break goes. By default, when you insert a
manual page break it get associated with the paragraph immediately after
that break and that's why when you copy that paragraph you are also copying
the page break.

but I don't think it should get copied. What If I need only one word 
from a paragraph that has hundred words -- I don't think page brake

What I want to do is copy text, not paragraph. It's like copying text

I get 'by design' part, but think it should be done a little bit more

OK, apparently I get what I want if I do CTRL + Shift + V and choose

Well, if you have very long document, you should consider using Master 
Document where you write every chapter in separate document and Master 
Document acts as container. You don't edit Master Document, you just 
print it.


Having long text splitted in smaller chunks may help you with the 
problem. Just remember to send all chapters (as separate documents) to 
your editor.


Consult documentation about this.

I will say this configuration only made the document usable. It's not

was open up LO, click on Menu > Tools > Options and then configure
Memory with the following settings:

Use for LibreOffice 512 MB
Memory per object 40 MB

Even with those numbers, LO Writer is still a bit challenging to use
(albeit much improved over the default).


Think Heiko is talking about thous bug two reports he sent earlier:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61558

Placing comment with actual (even partial) solution can help with fixing 
this. More people affected, better chance for that particular bug to be 
fixed.

Hi Jack and all:

I hope this help,

Thank you so much, Jorge. That actually helped considerably.

I'm an author. I've been using LO for a very long time. However,
recently I changed editors to one who does all of her editing within
comments. Yesterday I opened the file she'd just edited, to find it
unusable. Trying to scroll through the document was painfully slow. I
saved the file to .docx format, opened in Apple Pages, and it had no
problems.

I did a bit of searching to find this a common issue with LO (documents
with hundreds or thousands of comments becoming unusable). Thing is, I
could not find a work-around. Is this going to be the deal breaker, or
is there a solution for this issue?

Thank you so much for any input anyone might have.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with PDF forms, which have fields built
into them that can easily be filled out by most any PDF reader, but the
form itself cannot be edited.

I've been using them since forever.



I had hard time filling some of them out (created in LO) as fonts get 
squashed to a thin line and I was not been able to read anything.


Testing mainly done in Ocular. Maybe due to some "non-standard" 
characters like š, č, ć, ž, đ... Could not figure out is it PDF reader 
or LO when creating PDF.

[libreoffice-users] Deleting columns in empty spreadsheet

[Krunose]

Hi,

I just tried to delete all columns but first two in empty spreadsheet 
and seams that Delete columns option after selecting empty columns and 
right clicking is doing nothing.


Is it possible to have only two columns in Calc and handful of rows the 
same way it's possible in Google Sheets?


I'm using LO 5.4.6 on GNU/Linux Debian Stretch.

Deleting is not possible,
But hiding is!

There should be no (functional) difference in hiding, or deleting, those
columns


Well, then Delete columns is misleading and should be grayed out in
such specific situations...

Thanks on the answer,
Kruno



No, it should not be greyed out, because checking if there IS content in
one of those columns takes time...





No, not really. Now row gets deleted no matter if it's empty or not. No 
warnings or anything. Selecting and deleting hundred rows doesn't matter 
as everything stays the same and user can't really see the difference.


But selecting all available rows and columns when user expect something 
like Google Sheets is doing, then Delete rows should be grayed out.


No checking is needed, but one: check if selected from current 
row/column to the end. If is, gray out Delete rows/columns option.


But I get it - it's not possible to delete rows and columns like that :)

Thanks,

I was dismayed to discover recently (and surprised that I never noticed

I wonder if anyone knows how (or whether) I could fix this. Or perhaps
it’s not in Libre Office at all but in Hunspell, or otherwise deep down

information.

In case it matters, I’m using Libre Office 6.0.5.2 on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

Many thanks for any help.



Well, there's a Hunspell's feature triggered by ICONV replacement table 
but caveats exists.


For entry

ICONV á a

Hunspell - and LO as it uses Hunepll - will treat aáa the same as aaa 
and it will not flag it as misspelled.


Letter á should be added into TRY section of Hunspell dictionary file 
and words with á should make to wordlist so (possibly misspelled) aaa 
could be corrected to aáa.


You can't get perfect recognition as that mean that every word in your 
language should be added accented to your dictionary and that's 
unbearable in terms of maintaining dictionary.


What you could to is add that ICONV replacement table into you 
dictionary so accented words get ignored and aáa would not be flagged, 
but for aáb you'll still get suggestion aaa when what you really wont is 
aáa.


If words in your language in writing are not generally accented, than 
you need to find a workaround. Accented letter is still a different 
letter then regular (a ~ á) and Hunspell can't tell if it's a accent or 
a letter. In Croatian c ~ č ~ ć and non of last two are accented and are 
legit (potential) spelling mistakes.


Don't know if this helped.

The .aff file is somewhat outside my comfort zone, but I’ll certainly

I may have caused some confusion with my use of the word “accents,”

I’m concerned with words in which the acute accent is not a temporary
mark to show accent or stress but in which áéíóú are distinct letters,
not interchangeable with aeiou. Exchanging one for the other in such a
word is therefore a spelling error.


In that case what you should to is check if áéíó are listed in TRY

need (which uses this letters) to .dic file as regular words (as in 
your case that's what they really are).


For what I can see from your follow-up is that your dictionary is

Just make sure you're not editing dictionary for one-time situation as 
in that case my advice would be to just bare with it. If words you plan 
to add are proper words in your language and you feel dictionary is not 
complete in that regard, you should contact whoever is maintaining 
dictionary for your language so it can be updated.

But I think Kruno has put me on the right track, and that the ICONV

Most reasonable solution is to locate dictionary on your system and add 
ICONV replacement table as in


    https://github.com/krunose/hr-hunspell/blob/master/hr_HR.aff

so at least you don't get aáa flaged (gets ignored), but again, you 
still get suggestion aaa if you misspell accented word: aáb > aaa when 
you'd expect aáa.


Spelling checker is for writing regular texts and not designed for 
highly technical linguistic text with lot of accents and other special 
symbols.


Fell free to ask if you have any further questions, but this is best 
possible solution (but workaround actually).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Prompt On Replace

09.09.2018 u 04:59, arakish je napisao/la:

Guess I should have elaborated.

There is also a button for "Replace All"

However, there is no check box for "Prompt on Replace"

All other word processors have this feature.  Only LibreOffice does not.
Don't know about Open Office since I have not used it since LibreOffice 2.x.

I even use a text editor called HTML-Kit that is about 20 years old that
offers the "Prompt on Replace" feature.

Basically, it allows me to "Replace All" but a few occurrences.  Say I have
a 50 page document and want to replace a certain word that I know occurs 50
times.  However, there may be about 5 occurrences I do not want to replace.
It is easier to click the "Replace All" button with the "Prompt on Replace"
checkbox checked.  Then as it goes through and finds the word, it stops,
prompting on whether to complete the "replace."

Clarified enough?

I guess that would require you to click OK on every occurrence which 
might be cumbersome. Maybe LO should offer a list of all occurrences i 
in pop-up where every occurrence would be checked and one could skim 
trough list and un-check those few you don't need. Such list should have 
some context to like page number or line number and maybe holding whole 
sentence with highlighted part in question. Don't know, just thinking on 
load.

I did include seconds, but you could remove the :S, and have options to

blank for zero values.

Assuming those dates are 7th January 2018, since your mail headers 
indicate you're using a US locale...


2018-01-07 15:30:00 is represented internally as 43107.645833
2018-01-07 22:20:00 is represented internally as 43107.930556

Subtracting those numbers gives 0.284723, which represents the 
date/time 1899-12-30 06:50:00


The day of month is 30, hence the 30 when that value is represented as 
d:h:m.





Ah, I get it -- and I don't. If I want 0.284723 to be represented as 
'd-h-m', why to treat it as date? Wouldn't it make sense to include a 
function to LO Calc that could convert that number in desired format in, 
just guessing, a text type.


So something like =TIMEPASSED(A1;"d:m:s:ms") or 
=TIMEPASSED(A1;"YEARS-MONTHS-DAYS-HOURS-MINUTES-SECONDS") to get 
0-0-0-6-50-0?


Seams not very complicated to add function like that...

Hello everyone.
My question regards Writer (LO 6.0.1.1., Windows 10).
I'm preparing a software manual. The document is full of print screens

link to text frames that overlap the graphics. Is there any way to 
group these text frames with the graphics laying in their background?


Well I don't think you can group screenshot images with text frame. What 
you could do is anchor text frame and image the same way so they will 
act like one object.


Good trick would be to make text frame the same size as image so if 
image needs to break to another page, text frame will follow.


It would be best that images are anchored within image frame and you 
just enter text that acts as reference into that frame. Use same set-up 
as you would do captions on images. Make a frame, apply 'graphic' style 
to that frame, insert image _into_ that frame and place content from 
text boxes into that same frame and make that text a reference. This way 
reference will go where ever image goes.


Will this help?

Try as I might, I can't find a solution to this and I have been

I am a writer. A novelist. Auto capitalization works really well with 
my physical disabilities. It does not work when I put quotes at the 
start of a sentence.



For instance...


When I type the below, the words after the quotes are not capitalized. 
Is there a Macro or a setting to make LO ignore quotes as a typed 
character when auto capitalizing? I want all instances, when quoting, 
to be capitalized.



"the dog is over here." he said.


Should be,


"The dog is over here." He said


Turning off smart quotes does not help. Is there a Macro somewhere 
that will fix this annoying issue?.







Hi,

I would add every letter of the alphabet preceded by quotation mark to 
Autocorretion. So go to Tools → AutoCorrections → AutoCorrection Options 
and under 'Replace' put "a and in field 'With' put "A. So


"a    "A
"b    "B
"c    "C
.

but there might be occasions where you wouldn't want this so just 
consider if this approach would hurt your workflow.

Hi,

Not really a fix, but something you could try...

You can add an auto correct entry that will transform a sequence of,
for example "a to "A (you would also need to add all the letters). For
the closing quote, the sequence would be ." a which would become ." A.
Since it is auto correct, you would need to place a space after the
letter when you type and then erase (typing sequence:
"a). The one advantage is you can control the
capitalization: typing "abc would remain as "abc, while
"abc would become "Abc.


No need for backspacing - just use this

"a.*    "A
"b.*    "B
"c.*    "C

and it will replace whole words.

I hope this helps.

Try as I might, I can't find a solution to this and I have been looking

I am a writer. A novelist. Auto capitalization works really well with my
physical disabilities. It does not work when I put quotes at the start
of a sentence.


For instance...


When I type the below, the words after the quotes are not capitalized.
Is there a Macro or a setting to make LO ignore quotes as a typed
character when auto capitalizing? I want all instances, when quoting, to
be capitalized.


"the dog is over here." he said.


Should be,


"The dog is over here." He said


Turning off smart quotes does not help. Is there a Macro somewhere that
will fix this annoying issue?.

Re: [libreoffice-users] (urgent) shift+down always selects TWO cells in a table

[Krunose]

Hi,

I would try to reset user profile 
 
and see if that fix it. Just backup everything important you might have 
in that folder (autocorrection, custom dictionaries and such).


If resetting user profile does the trick, try to google how to rotate 
screen again - and rotate it back :) - and see if same thing happens 
again. If it does, it should be reported to LO's issue tracker 
.

Good morning
Using LibreOffice 6.0.5.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10

I just made a mistake somewhere: I hit some key combination that 
rotated the screen by 90 degrees.
Although I was able to fix that somehow, since then LibreOffice 
insists on selecting always TWO cells simultaneously

in a 2-column table to be translated. Using for example "Shift+Down".
Even in a newly created document.
I tried rebooting, but that does not change anything.
This is very disruptive to my work. Searching the help documentation I 
could not yet find any hints.
Since I am somewhat pressed for time with this work, I would very much 
appreciate any hints as to how to fix this.


LibreOffice did not behave like this before the screen rotation. I 
presume, something must have happened there.


Thank you.
Thomas

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO upgrade under Linux - delete old files

[Krunose]

04. 06. 2019. u 03:28, Thomas Blasejewicz je napisao/la:

Good morning
Probably I am just not smart enough (again).
I upgraded LibreOffice from 6.0.7 to 6.1.6 on a machine running Linux
Mint 19.
The Readme file instructed me to run a dpkg command to unpack the .deb
files after extracting them from the downloaded compressed file.
I did that.
It seemed to run fine and completed successfully.
When I clicked on the Writer icon I used before, it is still
LibreOffice 6.0.7 that opens.

Looking around, I found that there are OTHER LibreOffice icons, which
start the 6.1.6 version.
Are those old files supposed to remain there under Linux?
An update on Windows deletes those (as far as I know).
Looking in software manager I am told, that Libreoffice is installed,
but there is no distinction between 6.0.7 and 6.1.6.

If I update Libreoffice in the future again, will all the old files be
retained?
Should I **uninstall** Libreoffice first and then make a fresh
installation of the new version, or is there a way of cleaning out old
files?
(I presume, after a fresh installation I have to set up my preferences
etc. all over; that is something I would like to avoid.

Thank you.
Thomas



Hi,

first what you should do is remove libreoffice completely

    sudo apt-get remove  && sudo apt-get purge
 && sudo apt-get autoremove


then you extract tar files and enter the DEB folder. It holds many deb
files. Run

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb

and that will extract _all_ deb files.

Should work for you as it does for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with chapter numbering and TOC.

[Krunose]

Something is wrong with your document, you do something wrong. First
chapter should not be greyed out if only thing you did is apply Heading
1 style to that paragraph.

This way seams like you inserted some kind of field or index and those
do not appear in TOC by default.

I deleted your Chapter 1 and typed my own Chapter 1 (to get rid of grey
shading) and everything worked great.

My guess is you're using it as not indented by design.

Looking at your original document, it is clear that in the chapters you
have created, all that appears in the heading of each chapter is the
'Before' and 'After' elements that you have specified in the dialog box
of Tools > Chapter Numbering. As Regina states in her reply, you have
not typed anything of your own invention.

Look at my reply to Regina. My own invention is the word "Chapter" plus
a single space in the Before field.

When I  said 'your own invention' I wasn't explicit enough. I didn't
take the 'Before' and 'After' fields' contents as 'your invention'. I
took them as fields already prescribed as adjuncts to the Chapter number
(the subject of the dialog box).  I was instead wishing to refer to
material that the author would 'normally' write in the H1 heading at the
top of his new chapter.

Here 'normally' is used, I admit, in reference to what I would do and
what I have seen in many other books, that is some sort of short
description of the order of one to five words. To this group of 'one to
five words', LO's chapter numbering would add the number plus the
contents of the 'Before' and 'After' fields either side of the number
and before your choice of short description.

Example for a possible first chapter of a book :   "1 - Introduction"

where the 'Before' field has been left empty, the digit 1 is the number
automatically supplied, the 'After' field contains
- and 'Introduction' is my invention for the first
chapter description.

This is what Regina meant when she said your headings have no content
and you should supply some text even if only a blank space.

[Sorry, I cannot find your short one page example anymore - only the
longer "World's Most Amazing Book" file]

As a check and demonstration, go to the page in your 'TOC test.odt' file
where the new chapter 2 starts and highlight the heading on the page by
clicking after the figure 2 and dragging to the beginning of the line.
You'll see that nothing is selected - you can't drag to the start of the
line. 'Chapter 2' is just the 'Before' and 'After' fields surrounding
the figure 2 and with no other content.I have unzipped both the origin
documents that brought this issue to my


attention and the simplified example I created, but I have been unable
to find any issue with their internal structure.

I am having some difficulty working out what you mean by adding space
between the TOC and the (first line ?). Could I ask you to send me a
copy of your example file off list please?

As I said, I couldn't identify what was causing the lack of correct
display of the first chapter in your short example document. I assumed
that it was somehow connected with the proximity to the TOC but I didn't
exhaust the checking I just made my own example doc which I'll be
pleased to send you by PM. I'm not sure it's useful to spend much time
on it. And in any case, I didn't keep your file and the only one I can
find today is the Word's Most Amazing Book file.


If I were you, I would make it like this: In Outline and Numbering...
set Level 1 so filed 'Number' is empty. In filed 'before' enter word
'Chapter' in filed 'After' put 'space'. Click OK.

Now, leave empty paragraph, next paragraph style as Heading one, and
then leave another empty paragraph.

Middle paragraph (Heading 1) will have 'Chapter '. Now follow
instructions at

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4331/how-can-i-have-a-custom-numbered-field/

Now you will have 'Chapter 1'.

Next step is to select all three paragraphs (Heading 1 being in the
middle) and hit CTRL + F3 as that will open AutoText dialog. Add name
for new AutoText and go AutoText → New.

On every page you wish to add 'Chapter #' just entery shortcut you
defined when naming new AutoText and hit F3.

Benefit: Having word 'Chapter ' followed by auto incremented numbers and
all appearing in TOC.

Hi Philip,

Thanks for coming back on this. There was only ever one "TOC test.odt"
sample document, which had a title page "World's Most Amazing Book" and
a few "New Chapter" styled pages.

Thanks to Regina's explanation and your further clarification here, I
now understand the situation.

[libreoffice-users] Word counting in LO Writer

[Krunose]

Hi,

is it ok for LO to find five words in 'This is < a word.' as

https://www.countofwords.com/

finds only four. Don't know how that reflects on this like 'This is 4
words' and not sur so on. It's hard to anticipate every possible variant
- is that the reason?

Is there more information about this?

Thanks,

Kruno
