Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Calc's Z-test tool
Variance can't be zero for analysis of variance tests (t test, F test, etc). Statistical testing assumes that you have variance otherwise you really wouldn't need a test.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Font, font color and a lot of others can be found by selecting what you want replaced clicking on the FORMAT button and then selecting the formatting of the selected text that you are looking for. In the replace field, enter the text you want to use as the replacement, click FORMAT and select the formatting you want for that text. For some reason ATTRIBUTES is only available for the field that you want replaced--making it rather useless.

Hi Peter, You will need to have either mozilla firefox or thunderbird installed. Certificates are under options - advanced - certificates - view certificates - import.

My first reaction was to think, yes, style guides have always instructed to avoid 'and/or'.

You can become part of the Documentation team by contributing to one or more of our many projects. No matter what your level of experience is, you can make a valuable contribution. If you wish to imply that the group succeeds in writing high quality guides, take out strive. Just my two cents but the documents are collectively produced by (not provided) by a large number of individuals with varying degrees of expertise in technical writing. My sense is that most individuals are trying to communicate some complex ideas in a way that can be understood by anyone who picks up the document. Individuals can succeed in writing high quality documents (the word succeed referring to writing) but the quality of the content, how understandable (I know that's not a proper word) it is to people of different backgrounds--that's not as easy to evaluate as the quality of the writing. In light of that, it makes sense to me to say that the team strives to provide high quality work. Also, the word provide is an overused word that is imprecise. Use produce instead. Once the documents are produced, they are provided to the community. Perhaps the word choice should be to versus produced. Examples of current projects: * User guides * Tutorials and how-tos * Blog * Quick reference cards * Assist with writing and editing as requested by Website and Help teams Examples of planned projects: * Administrators’ guide * BASIC Programmers’ guide * Technical writers’ / power users’ guide There should be no space before or after the / Formatting wise, the spaces come in handy. The words Examples of do not add anything, are imprecise and should be deleted., Actually, they do add something. Without the words you have a closed group (guides, tutorials, etc.). With the words, you have a subset of a larger group yet to be defined. This gives the message that if there is a subject, not on that list, that someone would like to take on as a project, it would become part of that list. As noted, you are free to go in and make any changes yourself but don't be surprised if someone comes in after you and corrects your changes. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Writer Guide; Chapter 4 - Formatting pages.
I get the same thing on windows 7 as well as ubuntu 11.1--both running version 3.4.4 build 402. It appears that when you hit apply the display changes all the values to be a function of maximum footnote height. That would not be a problem except for the fact that when you click apply, the reference point for height changes from the distance from the bottom of the page to the distance the text area has to be adjusted to allow for that original height. It is quite possible that the same calculations are done when you click OK but when you re-edit the values after seeing those strange numbers, you what you expect to see. In short, it appears that those strange numbers are the software's internal calculations and serves no useful purpose to the user except to confuse him or her. mark (a lurker and occasional participant) On 2/10/2012 11:30 AM, John Smith wrote: Hi I am close to finishing updating this chapter, but have run into a problem and am unsure of the protocol.

Insert a footnote into the page: Insert footnote/endnote. Click OK in the next dialogue box, accepting the default settings. Scroll down to have the footnote in view. Now edit the footnote. There are a number of ways to get here, but the quickest is to right-click in the page and then select Page from the context menu. Select the 'Footnote' tab. There are two sections to this page; 'Footnote area' and 'Separator line'. To demonstrate the behaviour, change either, or both, the 'Space to text' dimension in the 'Footnote area' section, and/or the 'Spacing to footnote contents' dimension in the 'Separator line' section. Now, if you click OK, the settings on screen change when the dialogue box exits. That's fine. Re-edit, 'right-click Page'. Change dimensions again, this time, click Apply. As expected, the changes are executed on screen and the dialogue box stays open. But ... The dimensions in the dialogue box now change. 1. If you click OK to exit, these newer altered dimensions are applied. 2.You cannot, having clicked Apply, change the dimensions to anything meaningful. 3.You can exit, having pressed Apply, by clicking Cancel and having the changes which occurred on Apply remain in place. 4.Having pressed Apply, you can then press Reset, re-do the settings, and then click OK to exit. There are a number of possibilities here I guess. 1. I'm doing something wrong. 2. There's something wrong with my set-up. 3.

Have the printers tried printing a page that has images such as screen-shots? That would give us a good idea of whether the picture resolution needs to be improved or not. It would be a good for us to get feedback about that anyway. One of project officer ask for high resolution copy but I am not aware of what the press feedback. If 500 copies are going to be printed, I assume that it will be on a traditional printing press. When it comes to printing this way, high resolution photos usually have to be scaled back to 192 or even 72 dpi. It all depends on the screen of the printer. If you take an image that is 300 dpi and print it on a press that is only capable of 150 dpi, the image will be twice as large as the original. It is best to get the specs of the printer before trying to get high resolution graphics. A more practical question is, are the graphics saved in such a way to support the three color separation that is used in printing presses. This can probably be managed by importing the original LibO documents into InDesign or some other layout program. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOd16HAAoJEM2RHeq1QBrCSIQIAJHi+4DynQyUMtS2XjXRglQX EGEtj//j6bT+DyHimAhXILtTdZJFBz5656UN6ASpMxWw409dPFEPndegc+k3gaQD iBCUOW/hsMMxHwwocbnCxwRlVzf88nm0C2b6dLI2JcKkrDCYm3zXr/3feWDGMc9h +ko0ggVATi9MRfCudeld3AgaVkoSqRmiXUVqpeSzsb+1LW4dPcSIXvtdgnFJ1mLK n2T3jUX35U1HAMD1I/VFwf+VM455NWWs7dFHbsbc01F0EDA8UZPa2Zm0yTI+zcNE Qgf5lYyEIzy2ucUqOUyd31bHhseft80MX50IJRc/AxYLpDMh1xEW9pzIoo0HGPY= =d4cT -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
