Why would you need to have one? As for the Documentation List[s], I am already on 4 lists already. Also, I do not know if I will ever contribute to the creation/modification of any LibreOffice documentation, due to my brain injuries. Clear communication can be a problem at times when I deal with typing text. Three strokes will do that to a person. As for the documentation out there, I have the latest versions of the two available guides; Getting Started and Writer. Or at least the ones I find at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/; and the WIKI page for documentation. The LibreOffice-NA.US http://libreoffice-na.us/ site is the testing platform for the LibreOffice North American Community DVD Project. Our group is creating DVDs that will service the needs of the following communities; Canadian, US-American, Mexican, and Latin American, including the Hispanic communities. Currently we have our English DVDs 99% ready for publication and are working on the Spanish language version [first draft is 50% +/- done] for those DVDs. The big advantage with our DVDs is the extras. These include as much documentation as we can find. Look at this link to see what we currently have for English; http://libreoffice-na.us/English/documentation.html What we really need now is Spanish language documentation, even if it is just the Getting-Started guide. Also we could use Spanish language extensions/add-ons plus sample files. Right now there is a big void in the Spanish language area of documentation, extensions, templates, artwork, and sample files. THEN we have to do it all over with our French DVDs, that are needed for French-Canada. So the question is what is the advantage of an Alfresco account and being on the documentation list[s]? I am on the Projects list[s], the International Marketing list, the US Marketing list, and the User's list.

[libreoffice-users] Insert picture in existing picture - different behavior from openoffice
Dear users, I have encountered a problem since opensuse switched to libreoffice (which otherwise runs much smoother than openoffice). I often create slides with similar figure layout that I copy and then insert with new figures. Example: Figures with option 1 (slide 1) and different figures with option 2 (slide 2). Layout should be identical. Old behavior: When I clicked on the picture and used insert picture the new picture size would be adjusted to the old picture (and replace it). New behavior: It does not do anything to the old picture, but just inserts the picture in the default size. Is it possible to have in some way the old behavior? (in case not, maybe as an option to insert picture?)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic ChDir not functioning on Windows 7
Thanks, Regina, for your reply. The information was helpful. Unfortunately, this totally outdated function is actually necessary. I have developed a dll to be called from Basic. The dll must be declared in a Basic Declare statement, and that statement requires that the name of the dll be enclosed in quotations. If I hard code the full pathname to the dll in the Declare statement, it all works fine. The problem is that my client has international offices, and I have no idea what the path on any given engineer's machine will be. I know the name of the dll file itself, and one of the user inputs in the spreadsheet is selection of the path to the dll, which is then stored in Basic as a variable. By setting the directory using the ChDir statement, the dll is found and all works well. As I understand it, the Declare statement cannot use a variable for the library name. Hence the need for the ChDir. The alternative of forcing the clients to put the dll somewhere in the search path is not acceptable. The clients are engineers without administrator privileges. I'm not sure what you mean by totally outdated. Is there some alternative? Thanks, Peter *** Peter J. Puchyr, M.Sc., P.Eng. SpaceTime Simulation Corp.

Occasionally a doc would stall with a Not Responding message and then usually recover all by itself. But now, for about a month, no such luck. Libreoffice crashes, unknown error almost every time I open a doc. Same behavior with starting a new doc, same behavior with writer calc. Same behavior with removing LO installing OO. Same behavior in XP sp2 compatility. I would like to disable auto-update, but I don't see that option in Tools-Options in this version. And I don't see anyone else reporting this problem. Windows 7 starter, 2 GB ram, netbook with Intel Atom N550.

Ken I don't know where you live . One option that is available here is called a dry line . This means the copper telephone line is used for data, not voice, and is configured for DSL .

I had the choice of DSL or Cable Modem for broadband access. I choose Cable Modem since I am getting TV, Digital Phone, and Broadband access in one package. If I used DSL, I would have had to deal with two companies vying for the services. The DSL company offers Phone, DSL, and Satellite TV. My upload speeds are about 2 to 3 times standard modem speeds, so uploading/sending large files can be a long process. The DVDs take over 5 hours to upload [each] to the web site and every time a new version comes out, I have to do at least 1.3 GB of uploading. Cable and/or DSL is not available here. However, fiber optics were laid last fall to the paved road about 200-300 yards to my house. But, R.O.W for utilities distance means the fiber optics is about a half mile from my house. And I don't know if the phone wiring for everyone in the area will have to be replaced or not. Skybeam, a type company... I can't remember the technical name, but they use a combo of satellite and land line by beaming from your location to a tower, then land line... has coverage here, but I'm at the bottom of a hill and can't see their tower.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic ChDir not functioning on Windows 7
Hi Peter, Peter J. Puchyr schrieb: Thanks, Regina, for your reply. The information was helpful. Unfortunately, this totally outdated function is actually necessary. I have developed a dll to be called from Basic. The dll must be declared in a Basic Declare statement, and that statement requires that the name of the dll be enclosed in quotations. If I hard code the full pathname to the dll in the Declare statement, it all works fine. The problem is that my client has international offices, and I have no idea what the path on any given engineer's machine will be. I know the name of the dll file itself, and one of the user inputs in the spreadsheet is selection of the path to the dll, which is then stored in Basic as a variable. By setting the directory using the ChDir statement, the dll is found and all works well. As I understand it, the Declare statement cannot use a variable for the library name. Hence the need for the ChDir. The alternative of forcing the clients to put the dll somewhere in the search path is not acceptable. The clients are engineers without administrator privileges. I'm not sure what you mean by totally outdated. Is there some alternative? A lot of things are done nowadays using UNO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] crash within seconds of opening a doc.
Hi :) Answers will usually be at the bottom of the thread. i top-post now just because that is probably more familiar to you as it is to most people. Win7 with 2Gb should be ok, especially if you don't have tons of other programs open at the same time. The 3.3.2 (or OOo's 3.3.0) 'should' be stable. There could be a number of causes; 1. Do you have both LibreOffice and OpenOffice installed at the same time? If so then try un-installing OpenOffice and then re-install LO using the installer you already have. Even without re-installing LO just un-installing OpenOffice can fix the problem. You can always return to OpenOffice as both are free to install. OpenOffice and LibreOffice use some identically named things which often causes problems if the OpenOffice QuickLauncher is used. There are probably other conflicts too. Uninstalling might possibly uninstall some things that LibreOffice needs although i've not heard of that happening so far. 2. Fragmentation or other maintenance issue in Windows generally. Are other apps sluggish or unpredictable and possibly crashing? It could be a good idea to do some back-ups and then some routine maintenance such as defrag. If fragmentation is really bad then Perfect Disk sometimes do a free-trial for 1 month and they tend to be a LOT better than MS's defrag tools. 3. Perhaps LibreOffice didn't download and install properly. I don't know if we have md5sum or similar way of checking that the download worked. The easiest and quickest check is to simply try to re-install the LibreOffice you already downloaded (see option 1 above). If the 2nd re-install doesn't work then it might be worth re-downloading to try again. Please let us know how this goes and keep us informed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer tutorial ready for upload
below you text is the way to unsubscribe to LibreOffice. LibreOffice is a total volunteer support system, unless you want to pay a company like Novell for a user support contract. The developers, marketing, and support people are all volunteers. Talking to a live person is a problem. If we could have your area of the country [town/state], maybe we could find someone who is willing to give to you their phone number [off the list] so you could talk to them. I live in Elmira, New York, USA, but I would have to call you unless you have free long distance on your phone [I do for most of the USA]. Is there something you would like to tell one of us off the list? you could email me at webmas...@libreoffice-na.us and let me know what issues you are having with LibreOffice and we may be able to help you with it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer tutorial ready for upload
Hi Carl The usual way to get support from a mailing list is to start a new thread by writing a new email to the users@libreoffice.org and just write something fairly brief about the problem. Please try to let us know which Operating System you are using; Windows, Linux (Ubuntu or another?), Mac or Bsd. For the subject-line try to summarise the key-issue in about 3 words or less. Don't worry about getting each question perfect because it's fairly normal for people to ask questions and for you (or whoever is asking) to give a bit more detail later. In forums it is better to ask each question separately but i think a mailing list can cope with all the parts of the question in one thread. One advantage with mailing lists or forums is that you can use copypaste. Threads that have 'wrong' subject-lines can be easily deleted and don't need to be read. Sometimes a thread might generate irrelevant chatter and hopefully discussion about related issues that it might not have occurred to us to talk about otherwise. Ask your questions and lets see if we can help solve a few problems with LibreOffice for you.
