Is they check box "Enable Experimental (Unstable) Features" checked,
this turns on macros? (TOOLS>>OPTIONS>>LIBREOFFICE>>GENERAL) If a macro
is being used, they will fail until macros are enabled.

[libreoffice-users] OpenOffice.org linkage

[JS Higginbotham]

I've just downloaded and installed LibreOffice 3.4.3.

When I start it up, and either open a file or create a new one (first 
file only), it complains that:


"Error loading BASIC of document 
file:///C:/Program%20Files/OpenOffice.org.1.1.2/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb/: 


General Error"

followed by:

"Error loading BASIC of document 
file:///C:/Program%20Files/OpenOffice.org.1.1.2/share/basic/WebWizard/dialog.xlb/: 


General Error"

Registry shows no obvious links between OO.org 1.1.2 and LibreOffice, 
nor do I see anything in LibreOffice ini files that should produce the 
errors.


Note that when I used LibreOffice 3.3.whichever version I was using 
last, I still had OO.org 1.1.2 installed, and had no errors.  I removed 
OO.org 1.1.2 and 2.x when I upgraded.


Any obvious things I should be checking and/or changing to make this go 
away and behave itself?

[libreoffice-users] Re: can't print t[w]o pages on a single side of paper

[dennis meulensteen]

I have a related problem. If I keep my driver level set at the (apparently new?)
Libre-Office default of "PDF", my top margin is gone and the first line of text
is not printed.

It appears to be related to poppler which is invoked by the driver to convert
the pDF back to postscript (the CUPS driver default!).

The trouble is this wouldn't be a problem if LO just picked up the default
language level from the driver. 

Anyone know how to set it to something that works? (Short of hacking the Libre
Office code?)

Dennis

Hi again :)
Errr, if the file was in the back-up folder then open it and save elsewhere to 
make it your new main copy.  Hopefully you might be able to quickly catch up 
with however much further you had taken it.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libre crashed, my document ruined...

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
There seemed to be other problems with the machine so i'm not certain whether 
it was LibreOffice or a crash or something else that caused the problems.  
Generally it seems best to save the main copy of documents as OpenDocument 
Formats such as Odt (for Writer).  Do 
File - "Save As ..." - "Word (97/2000/Xp)"
only when you think you are ready to (or need to) share with people that don't 
have LO yet.  

A surprising number of people have LO or OpenOffice alongside MS Office now and 
the numbers seem to be rising.  People are sometimes willing to experiment once 
they realise they can dabble with it and keep MS Office for their "serious" 
work.  Of course some people have no authority to install anything onto their 
own machines and have no power to change that.  

Doc is a fairly vulnerable format and breaks fairly easily but it does have the 
advantage of being reasonably easy for most programs to read.  

If the back-up file works then i recommend saving that as Odt where-ever you 
were saving the broken document and then save as a Doc so that you can share it 
easily.  

E, since your machine was out of your hands for a while it might be worth 
updating the anti-virus and doing a full scan fairly soon.  Other maintenance 
such as a  defrag might be a good plan if you can find the time to let it get 
on with that.  Avg antivirus and others do a free edition that might be 
useful.  At the moment i quite enjoy Avg but that is just because it's the one 
they already have at work.  I have not looked into which is best.
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)

[Tom]

Hi :)
Thanks for uploading the file
Bokrecension_-_Sp%C3%A5r_i_Sn%C3%B6.doc

It's only 16Kb and when i tried opening it with a te4xt-editor and a
hex-editor but it looked pretty empty with both.I found a lot of tools
that claim to be able to repair doc files but i don't think there is enough
to work with :(  Also i have a feeling some are more likely to be malware
than really doing what they claim.  

Have you been able to find the backup folder?  Hopefully something like
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\backup

Apols and regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] 98, 000+ word list British dictionary, hyphen, thesaurus dictionary

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

I am setting them up so you can install all of them, and then disable 
the ones you are not going to use at that time.  I would have only one 
enabled at a time though.


Install all of them through the Extension Manager, and then click the 
disable button, instead of uninstall.  That will leave the dictionaries 
in place, but ready to be used when enabled again.  So it should be easy 
for you to switch between them.


Right now, you can go to my page 
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html   and 
download the disctionaries you want.  They are [will be] about 5 to 6 MB 
each for the different list sizes.  All them have spell checking, 
hyphen, and thesaurus.  The British ones now have a thesaurus that 
contains both US and British words in its thesaurus lists.  It was to be 
used for American, British, and Canadian dictionaries.  Later, I might 
look into the full structure of the file and see about adding some new 
words to the thesaurus, based upon other system I have in different 
formats.


For British English, I currently have the 98K and 217K version shown.  I 
have 390K and 638K lists I am working on dealing with.  These will be 
listed on my dictionary page in the next few weeks.  Send me a private 
email and I will try to remember to send you a note when I have the 
larger ones ready.


note:
I am adding an image to this email so the copy directly to you will have 
it, but it will not show up on the list's copy.  This shows the 270K and 
98K American versions installed, and before one was disabled.

I'd be happy to have the largest list you can comfortably make.

Re: [libreoffice-users] can't print to pages on a single side of paper

[Thomas Knierim]

Hi,

I mean to print two pages side by side. The problem is if I print two pages 
side by side the printer hangs - with libreoffice only. Not with evince (gnome 
pdf viewer) for example. If I switch the "printer language" from pdf to ps 
everything works fine... But I don't want to do it for every job - and by the 
way: can ps send fonts to the printer? Does libreoffice send fonts to the 
printer if the "printer language" is set to pdf?

regards

Thomas

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO 3.4.3 Writer cannot handle RTF document

[John D. Herron]

A client asked me the other day to send him an .rtf version of a file I had
sent to him in Word 97/2000/XP format a few months earlier.

I opened the file in LO 3.3.4 [OOO330m19 (Build:401)] and re-saved it in
.rtf format. I then opened the new .rtf file in LO: flawless.
My client, too, confirmed that the .rtf file was perfect for his purposes.
It felt good being able to help him with this.

OS is Ubuntu 11.04, preinstalled on a new local-brand (Steg) box.

It is easy to turn any document into RTF but you never know what will show
up in another editor.

In any case let me make it clear that ODF has the same problem.

I'm not saying ODF is superior to RTF (except that RTF is mostly/completely
abandoned and ODF is under development). I meant that if you are going to
use LibreOffice that is the best file format to use because it is what the
program uses internally. All other formats are converted to ODF at opening
and back at saving.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 98, 000+ word list British dictionary, hyphen, thesaurus dictionary

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

I have not seen any "performance hits" with my use of either the 98K or 
the 217K word list dictionaries.  The actual time would difference would 
be really small.  I have not tried using a 390K or 638K word lists 
though.  For a real large document that I used for testing sometimes, 
you should not see any difference for spell checker lookup.


I do not know what type of searches are used in LO to search the word 
lists for the word lookup, but for the old 80286 systems that I use to 
do this type of programming with  these 50K vs 638K list searches would 
take about a 1/10 of a second difference for the same 100,000 word 
document.  This was what I generally got for my word list searches back 
in the 80's with the programming samples I wrote.  The professor wanted 
a timer included in the search software so he could see how efficient 
your code was.  College is where I got interested in dictionary and word 
list searches and functions for spell checking.  To re-learn C++ after 
my second stroke, I write a program to create word lists from e-book 
text and compare them with the current lists to see what new words I 
could find.


The fact the the original .dic files had control codes after each word 
requires the system to do the work to do the conversions and then use 
those options in its searching.  So having lists that do not need those 
control codes may make spelling searched faster.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Personal settings causing calc to crash

[Scott Castaline]

I had finally just settled on blowing off my .libreoffice folder saving 
the contents of the template sub-folder, and redoing the changes to the 
registrymodifications.xcu file and all was good. Then along came an 
update from Fedora and now any changes made to the registry will cause 
the app to crash upon closing this one file. I don't know what it is 
about this file that is causing this to happen. I have even copied back 
in a version of the file before all of this started and that will cause 
the app to crash as well.


Any suggestions?

Hi :)
My guess would be it's an extension. So i would start by copying the
~/.libreoffice/3/user/extensions
folder across and see if that crashed LO when you re-open it.  There are 16 
items in the
~/.libreoffice/3/user
folder so i would move half, 8.  Test.  Then move a remaining half, 4 ... and 
so on until LO crashes and then delete the half you just added and add half 
that back in.  By doing half each time you can narrow it down quite quickly.

It is probably obvious to you but a lot of people would do this 1 file in 1 
sub-folder at a time and perhaps draw-up a tick list on paper. [big yawn]

if anyone had this happen to them and if so what did they

it, to possibly narrow it down some.

Hi :)
It's unlikely to be the change of DE.  Apparently

the config folder / user-profile can be copied from Windows
to a Gnu&Linux and mostly works from Gnu&Linux to
Windows so a change of DE 'should be' relatively minor.

Have you been able to try copying chunks from your old

KDE user-profile into the newer profile to regain extensions
and things?  Ahah, maybe an extension is getting
confused.  Most of the sub-folders from your old KDE
profile should copy across fine.

Good luck and regards from

I recently installed Fedora 16 Beta

system I

suddenly started experiencing crashes. I narrowed

it down to

one specific spreadsheet that would consistently

crash

("Process

/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin was

killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"). This had suddenly

started

after I had done the restore of .libreoffice

folder. I

renamed this folder so that the program would then

recreate

the default settings and the crashing has stopped.

I could

just leave it as is and continue from there, but I

was

curious as to what could have been the actual

culprit. My

backed up Fedora 15 system was using KDE for the

DE, could

the change from KDE to xfce have had a negative

impact on

just this one spreadsheet?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Run Libreoffice first time

[alfredol1]

I have discovered the problem. 
After installation instruction I tried install a language extension using
the silent method. I extract the .oxt content and copy the files and folder
to %PROGRAMFILES%\LibreOffice 3.4\share\extensions.
When I run libreoffice the first time the application need to do the
extension registry. I run libreoffice, registry the extension and close the
application. The next time the application run normally.
Do somebody know how can I install a extension in a silent installation?

[libreoffice-users] Suggestion for an enhancement in LO

[hellion]

I don't know is it asked before, but I think it's going to be a good feature
if someone implement  in
LibreOffice a floating menus like in MS Office. There is this feature - when
you paste a portion of text a little icon
appears right below it witch is actually  a menu with options like: keep
text only, keep source
formatting and ... so on.  i think its going to be very nice if LibreOffice
has this functionality too. Or maybe if it's too difficult to implement such
menu just to add the paste special function in the
right click context menu. 

I've filled a bug report too  but I don't  know If anyone is going to see it
because there are so many reports. Anyway here is a link to the bug.

Thanks - & sorry I did not find that myself! 

I went through the list of Resolved bugs with "print" & didn't find anything
relevant.

So I added the following comment to my new bug report #42657.

/"I'm sorry I didn't find the following information sooner, but anyway:

It looks like this bug report is pretty much similar to several previous
ones - 33861 / 36591 / 37064.
All those have been classed as Duplicates of 33245, which is not really the
same problem...

The latest comment on 33245 is dated 25/5/2011 & says it does not fix the
problem in 33861 / 36591 / 37064 & now 42657.

Can I please ask that this problem be re-opened & not swept under the carpet
with 33245?

Thanks!!"/
