[libreoffice-users] Inserting Info - Move in a 'Z' formation...
Need to know if this program has the capability to allow a user to have a full worksheet, insert another cell and have the previous information moves cells in a 'Z' formation.

ian_mcquay wrote: So it was something in the user profile that caused the problems. There is a .tmp file in the old *3\user* directory. I moved it to the new directory but id did not affect the starting. If you feel like it, you could copy some of the files/folders in the old profile to the new profile. After copying some files, test to see if the problem is back. If it seems stable (not crashing again) then you can go on to copy the next few files/folders. That may help to track down which files were causing the problem. Narrowing it down like that, you could probably get most of your old settings back. Almost like cutting out the bad part of an apple, without throwing the whole apple away. But if you don't mind losing your previous settings (and just configuring LibO again), then I guess you don't need to go through the effort.

But it's definitely possible with a macro. Would you be willing to use a macro? If a macro might work for you, let us know. I think someone might be willing to write one for you (maybe even me). If you aren't willing to use a macro, then I can think of another way to do it, though it's not quite as pretty. You can have all the data (all the words) in a single column (or row). Then you can display those data (words) in the style you described. To add one more, you just add it to your column (or row). If you think one of these two methods might work for you, just let us know which one. Then I'll describe it a little more.

Re: [libreoffice-users][windows] Calc: Text numbers
Found this solution for Mozilla, but not sure why it would work for others, since this seems it would effect the others? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439938 It happens also on Linux and is particularly annoying with files opened in OpenOffice (you cannot even copy-paste when the file is saved read-only!). Ok, just made a test and creating in about:config a new boolean toggle browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit set to false helps also on Linux. I tried it on my system with Mozila and Linux, and with the value set to false, it opens the file and allows entering numbers. It might be that others don't check the status until you go to save it?

[libreoffice-users] Question on Opening PDF files created by LibreOffice?
I've just had a strange issue with two PDF files created with Libre Office. If the file is created with the PDF/A-1a option the user with an Apple System gets an error and it will not option. If I create the file with the PDF/A-1a unchecked the file can be opened with the Apple. They can also see the document it they save it and use a preview option. Strangly, I tried to open the same file with Safari on a Windows machine, and seem to get the exact same error. When using Safari the open produces the following two messages. First Message comes up. The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opend read-only to prevent modifications. Second Message comes up. Adobe Reader There was an error processing a page. Invalid Color Space. If I open the file saved without the PDF/A-1a the first message also shows up, but the PDF file does open and display just fine. Both files open fine on machines using mozilla on Windows and Linux, but not on Mac? So, this might be a MAC/Safari issue, but if it could be fixed that would be best. Thanks. +--+ Michael D.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start
Hi :) Congrats on fixing that! It can be great to start afresh :) I think someone has suggested copy a couple of folders at a time from the old profile back into the new one until it breaks again. Then just delete those folders to force new ones to be created. Eventually you pin-point where the trouble was and get all your old stuff back, except whatever was causing trouble. It's a good plan if you have time and feel the need but as the person stated there is no real need to do that except curiosity, or if it happens again. The main thing is that you fixed it :)) Congrats :) Regards from Tom :) - Original Message From: ian_mcquay ian.mcq...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 29 June, 2011 6:48:49 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start Tom said: Can you re-name your current user-profile to get it all back to factory defaults?

[libreoffice-users] [3.4] Cutting section in PDF file?
(I first posted through Nabble withouth having subscribed to the mailing-list, so this might be sent twice) Hello , I need to select and cut a squared-section in a PDF file. After opening the file in Draw with the PDF format, I'm shown the whole document as a big image, but I couldn't find if it's possible to select just one part of the page and cut a section. FWIW, the PDF was built with Xerox WorkCentre 7345 and uses PDF version 1.3 So I used LibreOffice to save the PDF as TIFF, opened it in PaintShopPro (7), and removed the section. But when I re-open the TIFF in LibreOffice so I can save it back to PDF, it's displayed as a very tiny image (about 1/3 of the original as displayed in PaintShopPro), even with Zoom=100%. Does someone know why Draw does this? Is there a way to do this in LibreOffice so I can avoid the PDF - TIFF - PDF shuffle? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-Cutting-section-in-PDF-file-tp3121732p3121732.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I don't know if there is a macro method or something that might be useful so i think perhaps post it as a bug-report and see if a kind dev is able to help at all in the next couple of days?

I think someone might be willing to write one for you (maybe even me). That would prefect, you'll just have to walk me through it.

[libreoffice-users] Label Printing, how to add label template?
I am running Libreoffice 3.3.2.2 on a Mac. I can export data to a Libreoffice spreadsheet and from there to a database table in Libreoffice. When i then go to file-new-labels. It will let me put in the database, table and database fields. Problem is that the format section will not let me select the right label. I want to use Avery A5444 labels.

It always prints to the left edge of the paper tray. The labels feed in the center. Yep, problem. I opened the Avery template and did a save as a Liberoffice document and edited the paper size to 8.5 inches wide and set the left margin at 2.25 inches which centers the label correctly for printing.

After opening the file in Draw with the PDF format, I'm shown the whole document as a big image, but I couldn't find if it's possible to select just one part of the page and cut a section. FWIW, the PDF was built with Xerox WorkCentre 7345 and uses PDF version 1.3 Alternatively, I could save the document as JPG and doctor it in eg. PaintShopPro, but it's lossy. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-Cutting-section-in-PDF-file-tp31215 75p3121575.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
