Yes.  First recombining the lines into paragraphs:
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options, and tick "Combine 
single line paragraphs if length greater than 50%".

o Go to Format | AutoCorrect > | Apply.

Notes:

o You may need to reduce that value of 50% to make the facility work 
properly in your case.  Click on the text of the option and the 
Edit... button below will light up and enable you to edit the 50% 
value to a suitable smaller one.


o Applying AutoCorrect will make other changes to your text - which 
you may not want.  You can avoid this in two ways: either switch off 
unwanted changes in the AutoCorrect dialogue or - more easily - use 
Format | AutoCorrect > | Apply and Edit Changes instead.  Then choose 
Edit Changes when challenged.  Now click the Comment column header in 
the Accept or Reject AutoFormat Changes panel; this sorts all the 
changes of a particular type together.  Select all the "Combine 
paragraphs" lines together (using Shift-click or Shift-arrow in the 
usual way) and click Accept.  Now click Reject All to reject all other changes.


Now to remove empty paragraphs:
o In the Find & Replace dialogue, click More Options, and then tick 
"Regular expressions".

o Search for ^$ - that's circumflex-dollar - and replace with nothing.

I trust this helps.

File>Open...
File type: Text Encoded

What I had done previously was to highlight the email text and paste it.
Now instead I tried to follow your instructions.

I found the file-type Text Encoded.
I couldn't find "encoding" or "line feed" either as one or two lines.

I assume for this purpose, I should save the email to a file, which I did.
I chose file type "text encodied" and searched out the file (.eml) which
looked like raw html when I imported it.  I deleted all the html stuff on
top, and was left with a file that could not be justified or anything, and
had all the apostrophes and quotation marks replaced by some letter
and symbol crap.

Obviously, I'm not doing what you suggest, but I guess I just don't
understand.

with manual page break

Search and replace #2 - search for carriage return and replace with space

Search and replace #3 - search for manual page break and replace with
(double) carriage return

Well, if I knew how to replace the doubles with a paragraph marker, I 
could do that.

Then if I knew how to delete the singles, I could do that also.

[libreoffice-users] Default Encryption Fails for Down-Level Implementations

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Here is a message that I have just sent to ooo-dev about the silent switching 
to AES256 being an interoperability problem.  The recommendation is to stay 
with the only cross ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2-conforming encryption of "Save with 
Password" by default, while accepting the newer optional ones (including 
AES256) on input.

The patch and bug report for LibreOffice 3.5.x is here: 
.

If anyone thinks a license statement is needed from me to change two defaults 
from "sal_False" to "sal_True" I will be happy to provide it.

 - Dennis

-Original Message-
From: Dennis E. Hamilton [mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org] 
Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 13:24
To: 'ooo-...@incubator.apache.org'
Subject: RE: [RELEASE,CODE]: Bug 119090 - Default Encryption Fails for 
Down-Level Implementations

[ ... ]

The current builds of OOo-dev 3.4 (from Oracle) and all Apache OpenOffice 3.4 
developer previews install with "Save with Password" pre-wired to encrypt using 
AES256-cbc and SHA256, and SHA256-1k digests, in conflict with the Blowfish CFB 
and SHA1, SHA1/1K digests that are all that down-level versions of 
OpenOffice-lineage and ODF 1.1 consumers can decrypt*d4e2h2*
, including Lotus Symphony, Libre Office prior to 3.5.x, and OpenOffice.or 
3.3.0 (and earlier).

There is no dialog that notifies users that the encryption cannot be decrypted 
with earlier versions.  Changing the behavior requires knowing how to 
manipulate configuration settings.  There is no UI or Tools | Options dialog 
for this.

Fortunately, whichever default is used for Save with Password, both forms of 
encryption are accepted when opening a document.

THE PROPOSAL: Change the default so that the ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2-compatible and 
conformant encryption is used (Blowfish CFB and SHA1 for digests).  Users who 
want to produce documents using AE256, despite the loss of interoperability 
with all consumers but those who can accept AE256 -- LO 3.5.x, OO.o-dev 3.4, 
and AOO 3.4+ -- can still change their configuration files to alter the default 
behavior on ODF 1.2 Save with Password.

THE PATCH: There is a simple two-line patch to reverse the default behavior 
when there is no over-ride in the user configuration.  This is provided with 
r119090: .  This patch 
needs to be approved and accepted.  (As a committer, I could have actually 
applied it.  I didn't want that done without review first, so this is an RTC 
submission.)

THE BENEFIT: Non-expert users will not be surprised by the misleading failure 
of their password to work when using a machine with an older version of OO-line 
software.  (The error message suggests that the file is damaged, not that the 
encryption is not understood.)  In addition, files that are encrypted using AES 
will also be decryptable by these new releases without the user having to 
figure anything out.

THE DEBATE: There is extensive technical discussion on the Bugzilla comments.  
Here is a summary of what all of that technicality is about:

 1. Some presume that switching to AES256 increases the security of the 
document.

 2. The counter-argument is that it does no good to improve the security in 
parts of the encryption that do not improve the security of the weakest-link in 
the encryption technique.  It will simply give a false sense of security where 
there is no improvement.  The weak link in ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2 encryption is the 
way that passwords are used.  Not in the encryption technique that is used for 
the document.

All of the extensive technical material is about explaining how it is that (2) 
is the case and that doing (1) simply inconveniences users and raises technical 
and reputation issues. 

 - Dennis

PS: An equivalent patch has also been contributed to LibreOffice for remedying 
the fact that the change to AES has been instituted in LO 3.5.x .)

Re: CVE-2012-0037 (was RE: [libreoffice-users] CVE-2012-0337)

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

By the way, it is CVE-2012-0037, not -0337.  Sorry I didn't detect the original 
subject-line gaff sooner.

Note that the official CVE reports are seriously unenlightening: 
.

The LibreOffice advisory is likely to simply scare the pants off of users since 
it is very circumspect and provides no information about how this matters to 
users and what they can do to avoid it (apart from upgrading): 
https://www.libreoffice.org/advisories/CVE-2012-0037/ 

The Apache OpenOffice advisory is closer to what I consider the benchmark 
(advisory e-mails from Microsoft) in this area.  It does not presume remote 
code execution (at least, not in OO.o), and it describes mitigation more 
clearly: .  This can be 
done better.  I'd say not bad for a first effort though.

With regard to the lack of an OO.o 3.3.0 Linux patch from the Apache OpenOffice 
project, that was a mistake based on an incorrect assumption about how few 
people have installed OO.o from other than their Linux distributions.  There is 
an effort to address that underway now.  See this thread: 
.


 - Dennis

PS: Your conclusion that the exploit is unlikely is unsupportable.  

Whether an exploit actually manages to capture anything useful or embarrassing 
is another matter.  It is also conceivable that a failed exploit may crash the 
application or at least result in mystery failures to open the document.

On the other hand, it is a bit like spam and phishing.  Since those are so easy 
to do, and inexpensive to distribute, the mischievous folks are willing to have 
a miniscule return rate, so long as there are any [;<).  (The easiest way to 
seed a wide distribution is by contributing/distributing a template file with 
the template built in.  Still a move-plot, but users need a way to satisfy 
themselves that there is no exploit.  There are so many faux download sites 
that it is a bit like walking down a road where all the street lights have been 
shot out.

This reminds me how the Iranian nuclear-material centrifuges were hacked by 
sending a trojan into the wild that apparently went global but was designed to 
fire with effect when it found itself on the correct computers.

Apparently it is the ease of crafting exploits that has the Apache 
OpenOffice.org categorize this as "Important" (but not "Critical").

Re: [libreoffice-users] mail merge duplicates entries

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I had some very strange results, not quite the same, recently on one Xp 
machine.  Opening files with MS Office 2010 was a problem but the same files 
viewed with LibreOffice were fine.  

When i updated my anti-virus it found and removed quite weird little files.  
Suddenly the files opened fine in MS Office 2010 too, without even rebooting or 
anything.  

It's unlikely that LibreOffice would be affected by malware but anything is 
possible.

Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] mail merge duplicates entries

[Ron Gregor]

I have a odt file that I use mail merge to print to a pdf file. When I went to 
print the list I 
should have gotten 371 pages but I got 401 pages. I am using a odb file as a 
source which 
links to a very simple text file with one field. The text file has 371 entries 
and the odb shows 
371 items. When I open the odt file and view data sources, select the source 
and click the 
arrow to go to the last entry is shows 371 of 371. I select print and yes to 
merge fields but 
when I click the arrow to show the last entry is shows 401 of 401??? I can 
scroll down to 
about record 40 and see a bunch of entries are being duplicated.

I deleted the odb file and created a new one but got the same result.

Does anyone know how to fix this or is this another bug that needs to be filed.

libreoffice 3.5.1
winxp


Thanks,
Ron Gregor

RE: [libreoffice-users] CVE-2012-0337

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

This was a common vulnerability in software having lineage from OpenOffice 3.x, 
where it was introduced as part of support for features that are new in ODF 1.2.

I have provided an unofficial, personal analysis on the ooo-users list.  See 
.
  (I considered posting that here, but wasn't sure if it would be seen as 
appropriate.)

As the project is self organized I'd suggest to raise your concerns in the 
website[1] list. There's also a more formal procedure to file an issue in 
bugzilla[2] (component WWW)

 I have now read the release announcement, and it contains
announcements for both 3.4.6 and 3.5.1. Both of these are rather vague.
 The 3.4.6 announcement mentions fixing a potential security issue.
The 3.5.1 states: "LibreOffice contains all the security fixes from
OpenOffice.org in 3.3.0, and perhaps more as a side-effect of the code
clean-ups."
 What security issues? I'm not sure I know from what I read.
 Another thing that comes from trying to find this information: What
is a link that I can use to list my concerns or other comments about the
layout of the LO website?

Hi Dan

3.4.6 for the patch. It was in the release announcement. 

Not sure but it maybe that 3.5.1 also has the fix - 3.5.2 surely will.

[Dan Lewis]

Using both LO and OOo, I'm aware of the need to patch this
vulnerability for both. What I don't know is what is the status of this
with respect to LO. I presently have 3.5.1-102 and 3.4.5.502. I did not
see anything mentioned about this on the LO main page. It would be nice
to have a statement on the home page when it was fixed for 3.4.x and
3.5.x. It would be nice to have something on this mailing list.

Hi Robson,

Further to my previous message, it appears that this is a known bug with
3.5 and has not been deemed critical enough to prevent release of 3.5.1 :

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46102

Maybe it will get fixed for 3.5.2, or later...
