[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Online

[Pedro]

Hi all

Sharing exciting news

http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-l10n-LibreOffice-on-the-cloud-Open365-tp4181681.html

It links to the brand new 

https://open365.io/

I just opened an account and it behaves exactly like the offline version.
You can even change the icon theme or add extensions like dictionaries (and
they work!)

The only limitation is that the interface is in US English only.

Have fun! 

(I'm not affiliated to the company providing the service, in fact I couldn't
find any information about it so I wouldn't recommend uploading any
sensitive information...)

At least on-line at open365.io it seems completely unusable. Though you
can access the KDE, the application simply never comes up.
And documentation requires that you open the application, rofl...

The usability issue might be related to the fact that it is an online
service, and is subject to bandwidth and computing power restriction.

To truly evaluate such service, it might be better to just grab the code
and deploy it in local. If it works well enough, I can see this being
useful in corporate environments.

Re: [libreoffice-users] open a Mac numbers file in calc?

You don't mention a lot of pertinent information including what OS you're 
using, what version of LibreOffice you're using, and what version of 
Numbers file you are working with so it's hard to help with specific 
advice. I recommend trying to load the Apple Numbers file; if the open file 
dialog only shows OpenDocument files, try changing the filetype pop-up to 
show all files (some file prompters will let you do this). 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#Supported_file_formats mentions 
"Apple Numbers '09 or earlier (basic spreadsheets for Numbers)" from 
version 5.0 released on 2015-08-05.


If this doesn't work, try sharing the Apple Numbers file by posting it to a 
globally-accessible hoster (such as archive.org) so others can try opening 
it and converting it for you.


You can also try using Numbers to load the file you have and export the 
data you want to keep (pictures, sounds, tables of data, etc.) into files 
other programs can load (pictures as TIFFs or PDFs; sounds as WAV, AIFF, or 
FLAC files; tables of data as ODF, CSV, or some other format commonly used).


In theory one of these approaches should let you keep the data you care 
about, import that data into a free software spreadsheet, and avoid future 
file format lock-in such as you currently have with Apple Numbers which is 
proprietary software.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file format problem?

[Tim Deaton]

I strongly agree with Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster.  But I'd also 
suggest that you NEVER overwrite the original document without first 
saving a backup copy of the original to a different name or in a 
different location.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] file format problem?
To: users@global.libreoffice.org


Good evening
I am not sure whether this is a LibreOffice (?) problem or just MY 
problem.

It happened before, but I will describe the latest episode.

I was working with Writer on a Word (.docx) file. As a translation job I
was supposed to overwrite that file.

[MsFt does not necessarily recognize LO; had you opened this in 
LO or

MsFt? (docx is one of MsFt's files)]


Is there any requirement to use MS's .docx format instead of the more 
compatible .doc format?


I do not do any translation between languages, but if you do not need 
to use .docx for the translated file, then I would not do so.


To be honest, the .docx format have compatibility issues between MS's 
Word versions.  Last year, I finally convinced a MS Office user that 
it would be better to use .doc over .docx for the files emailed out to 
many users that have various versions of MS Office, and for me LO.


For me, I make all my word processing documents using .odt and then 
save it in .doc format for the MS Word users.






The file contained images, tables and objects.
After being 2/3 finished, I saved the file, went downstairs and wanted
to continue working while having a coffee.
However, when I opened the file, saved in SpiderOakOne, I noticed, that
the latter 2/3 of the file were gone.

[yet another program?]

Including 1/2 day of work.
Even archived earlier versions of the same file showed only the first 
1/3.

Trying to open that file with MS Word, resulted in the following error:
"File Format error at
SAXParse Exception:
[word/document.xml line 2]:
Attribute w:hAnsi redefined
Stream word/document.xml line 2, column 73305 (row,col)"

[suggestion: open LO - then attempt to open saved document, 
allowing it

to translate if necessary;
hopefully, your file will re-appear.]

The file contained originally about 4300 Japanese characters.
Even though there was nothing on my screen beyond the first 1/3 of that
file, its size did not change.
When I deleted the second 2/3 of the original file, the original size of
470 kb shrank to 130 kb.
After I retyped all the lost work and saved that first as .ODT and then
later as .docx, file size was 23 and 16 kb respectively.

[these are MsFt not LO documents.]

A different translator translating the same file (probably using MS
Word) into a different language had apparently no problems.

What is happening here?
Does this mean Writer has problems handling MS Word files?
Is it the incomprehensible .docs format?

[that's a good word to describe MsFt  ;-)]

Do I HAVE to use Word for such file? Something I really do not want 
to do!

Is there anything to PREVENT this kind of event? (retyping my work all
the time will get me into real trouble!)

[suggestion: use LO to open documents ... work with documents ... 
then

if necessary, save as MsFt to send to others
   - although if they too have LO, then no translation would be
necessary  ;-)]

Thomas

The site wants me to install a client, what is this client used for?
My antivirus program claims it contained "Variant.Graftor.5639" and deleted
it...
