Hi :) I don't think so!! I think you meant through Synaptic Package Manger? People would have grumbled about your screen-shots if you had used Wine because that would be the Windows version of LO, not any of the linux versions. The newer versions of Wine do have much tighter integration with most distros themes and stuff so it almost looks like you are running native apps even tho they are Windows programs. The key word there is "almost". It would have been noticed.
Wine is another of those amusing regressive acronyms favoured by devs. It stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator" indicating that it is similar to an emulator but uses a different technique. In this case by running Windows applications at the same level as native programs rather than by introducing an extra couple of layers between the code and the "bare metal" of the machine. I don't know how the APIs are developed to do that but it's all very clever. Apparently Wine can also be used on Macs to run Windows programs there too. It's not always easy to use but programs run very much faster than normal emulators and in some cases faster than a fresh install on a fresh install of Windows! My neighbour is VERY into Wine and keeps on going on about it. I try to pretend i'm out sometimes if he knocks. All good :) Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Jaimon Jacob <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, 19 June, 2011 16:47:58 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Libreoffice 3.4 Quickstarter Problem I installed Libreoffice 3.3 through Wine, and there it is... the Quickstarter option. I do not know if this method is valid according to The Documentation Foundation standards.... :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Davies <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 8:12 PM Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Libreoffice 3.4 Quickstarter Problem Hi :) Hmm, that one might be tricky. It's not really something that is needed in gnu&linux so the box might not be there. Would it be good to cheat and use Gimp to copy&paste that tick-box area from a Windows screen-shot into the Ubuntu one? Some other picture editing software might be good but Gimp is a bit like PhotoShop and worth getting used to. Draw might be able to do this but i have no experience with Draw, still. I'm not sure that cheating like that would be a good plan. What do other people think?

There is no "Load LibreOffice during system start-up" option at all. I am using Libreoffice 3.4.0 and Ubuntu 10.10. Have anyone come across such a problem? I am updating all the images taken in windows to that in Ubuntu, so I cannot continue until I solve this.. :-( Jaimon -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
