[libreoffice-users] prevent linebreaks between parentheses and formula object
Hey there, Within a text in writer, there's a formula (also in text mode) inside parentheses. The formula is properly treated like a character in all aspects, except: Writer will insert a line break between the formula and the opening parenthesis as if that's were the line would usually wrap if they were separate words. If there was just text inside the parenthesis, that would not happen. Is there a way to prevent this? I can insert a protected space before the formula, and that does prevent the line break, but it also looks weird.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: SubForms and Photographs in LO Base
Hi :) The 3.4.1 is due for release in the next few days http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.4_release It fixes a lot of the quirks and bugs of the 3.4.0. Many OpenSource projects have 1 very stable branch for people that don't want to upgrade often and would like to stick with 1 version for a year or more without touching the machine. Corporate users, people with low bandwidth or people that don't need all the extra latest new features. Ubuntu has it's LTS (long term support), Debian has stable as does sliTaz and others. It's a bit like going to see a movie a few weeks after it's been released or wearing comfortable clothes rather than the latest fashion. The 3.4.0 is not a great example of a development release because it was very buggy but that does sometimes happen with development branch in most projects. It's the risk you take if you want to try all the latest features and see the direction the stable branch might be going in later. Please wait a few days and see how the 3.4.1 looks or else return to the 3.3.3, or use the guide to install both version on your machine so that you can compare the differences. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Regards from Tom :) From: Steven Shelton ste...@sheltonlegal.net To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thu, 30 June, 2011 15:26:36 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: SubForms and Photographs in LO Base -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 6/27/2011 10:24 AM, Twayne wrote: AFAIK, 3.4 is NOT recommended for production use yet?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: RTF support
Hi :) Yes, Rtf is an excellent format. It would be more useful tho if MS Office followed their own specs but then we wouldn't be having this discussion. At the rate things are going the only organisation that doesn't follow MS specs for rtf and docX will be MS themselves. Our devs pour a ton of work into finding out what is really being used perhaps by reverse engineering (?) and then developing an answer. MS devs can then tweak just 1 or 2 tiny things quite quickly and leave it to other people to guess at what's changed. It's not really a dirty trick it's a legitimate business strategy. Proprietary formats are about being secretive, hiding behind intellectual copyright, hiding corporate secrets to help keep the competitive advantage. Open Document Formats are about being honest and open about what the formats are so that everyone can incorporate them easily and be certain that everyone else can easily follow the standard. MS has chosen to ignore the new Open Document Formats (version 1.2) and use the old formats (versions 1.0 or 1.1). So they appear to be following ODF and can legitimately publicly state that. But of course they have carefully made sure that newer odfs still get a little messed up in MSO. Everyone else apps can read them perfectly. Again, it's not a dirty trick but does make a lot of sense as a legitimate business strategy.

[libreoffice-users] base: tab order bug, and a workaround
OK I still need to learn how to report bugs, etc., and I will. But meanwhile my desperate rush to get some work done with Base presses my forward. This apparent bug made me crazy for a while this evening until I found a workaround. The problem: Designing a form, the issue of tab order arises if you use the form wizard and start moving text fields around, or if you don't use the form wizard. Tab order may be explicitly addressed in the properties dialog (double clicking a control is one way to get it), OR in the Tab Order dialog. But changes made are not evidenced, at all, when switching from edit mode to execution mode. Nothing I tried worked. I simply got an apparently random tab order, which is a data entry show stopper! The solution: After making an tab order change, close out the form designer. Open the form directly into execution mode. The new tab order will be evidenced. The problem with this is that if you have more form editing to do, you must close the form out and return to edit mode, as there is no way to get from an initial execution of a form into design mode. As far as I'm concerned this is definitely a bug (any disagreement?). Two bugs, actually - the second being the inability to get from initial execution of a form to design mode without first closing out the form. I'm just glad I found a way to get the tab order I must have to make the form usable.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Match cell against any of range of regexes?
Hi :) The documentation team have access to a lot of good guides. Jean sent me this about macros ... good resources forpeople who want serious info on macros. (Shameless plug for Andrew) http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php http://www.pitonyak.org/book/ ODFauthors are considering how to best approach writing documentation that is relevant to both OOo and LO and identically the same in both. Obviously some guides need a lot of modifications (such as just deleting chunks where OOo is lagging behind and has not added the functionality developed by LO devs) but apparently macros are likely to develop along an identically same path for both projects. Andrew Pitonyak's guide is apparently the best for macros so it's worth bookmarking or downloading or something.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Aack! Uninstall removes file types!
I got a private response that indicates I may not have made myself clear, so I am answering here. The problem I see is that uninstalling LO removes file associations MS Office had all along. In other words, though MS Office is still installed and was always the default .doc/.docx, .xls/.xlsx, .ppt/.pptx (and others) handler, Windows doesn't know what to do with those files anymore. Double clicking .doc files opens Wordpad, the others cause the unknown filetype - what application dialog window to open. It seems to me that LO should only remove its reference to those files, and possibly the file types that it is the only registered handler. If LO were installed first, and MS Office second, I would expect an uninstall of MS Office to exit gracefully. I have not tested this though, so I could be wrong. I can say from experience that if Adobe Reader is installed, and a user installs FoxIt, then uninstalls FoxIt, Windows still knows to open .pdfs with AR. Hope this is clearer.

But meanwhile my desperate rush to get some work done with Base presses my forward. This apparent bug made me crazy for a while this evening until I found a workaround. The problem: Designing a form, the issue of tab order arises if you use the form wizard and start moving text fields around, or if you don't use the form wizard. Tab order may be explicitly addressed in the properties dialog (double clicking a control is one way to get it), OR in the Tab Order dialog. But changes made are not evidenced, at all, when switching from edit mode to execution mode. Nothing I tried worked. I simply got an apparently random tab order, which is a data entry show stopper! The solution: After making an tab order change, close out the form designer. Open the form directly into execution mode. The new tab order will be evidenced. The problem with this is that if you have more form editing to do, you must close the form out and return to edit mode, as there is no way to get from an initial execution of a form into design mode. As far as I'm concerned this is definitely a bug (any disagreement?). Two bugs, actually - the second being the inability to get from initial execution of a form to design mode without first closing out the form. I'm just glad I found a way to get the tab order I must have to make the form usable.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Aack! Uninstall removes file types!
Hi, If this is a real problem, you must never install more than one program for the same type of file. You can have only one media player, one picture editor, one pdf viewer, one browser, one editor, one of anything. Did you try to install LibreOffice before MS Office and then remove MS Office? What happens to your associations in this scenario? Does MS Office remember which office program had been installed in order to restore the same associations if (and only if) that previously installed program is still there? If so: Wow, I would never have expected this from any program, let alone a Microsoft program. I suggest you stick with what everybody is happy with. Nobody has ever been fired for using Microsoft even if it turned out to be the wrong choice. Installing LibreOffice for ideologic reasons is a no go.

I hope Miklos Vajna and all the specification implementors (including all developers) reads this post :-) MS devs can then tweak just 1 or 2 tiny things quite quickly and leave it to other people to guess at what's changed. This is not the issue. Our devs pour a ton of work into finding out what is really being used perhaps by reverse engineering (?) and then developing an answer. If this is really true, then this is where the problem is and where the developers have failed the Users regarding the RTF and any other specification. Not just Libre Office, but msWord, WordPerftect, and all others specification driven application developers. I continue to get replies claiming that RTF is bad bad bad bad bad and will never be acceptable because all the problems people currently have with RTF. If an application claims to support a file format, then the #1 priority is and should be to correctly implement the file format specification (whether it be HTML, Java, RTF, docX, or any other truly implementable standard). If the RTF developers would do this, then virtually all the complaints about RTF would (go away/disappear). And this is true for any/all format specification. After that, then and only then add various implementations(tweaks, etc.) if you so choose. I am so glad that Miklos Vajna has decided to fix the Libre Office implementation of RTF. Thanks, Tracey Tom Davies [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] wrote: Hi :) Yes, Rtf is an excellent format. It would be more useful tho if MS Office followed their own specs but then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Proprietary formats are about being secretive, hiding behind intellectual copyright, hiding corporate secrets to help keep the competitive advantage. Open Document Formats are about being honest and open about what the formats are so that everyone can incorporate them easily and be certain that everyone else can easily follow the standard. MS has chosen to ignore the new Open Document Formats (version 1.2) and use the old formats (versions 1.0 or 1.1). So they appear to be following ODF and can legitimately publicly state that. But of course they have carefully made sure that newer odfs still get a little messed up in MSO. Everyone else apps can read them perfectly.

[libreoffice-users] Re: RTF support
They do not care if the default format is an open standard or a proprietary format. MS has changed the doc(x) format several time which leaves users of the older format out of luck. You are right: User A just wants to send a document to User B without an hassle (and vise versa). Which is a good reason for Libre Office to do a better job at handling MS docs than MS does. It would be noteworthy if the folks at MS Office Applications starting to get concerned about the developments at Libre Office.

MS has changed the doc(x) format several time which leaves users of the older format out of luck. -- Jay Lozier [hidden email] /user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=3129937i=0 -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [hidden email] /user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=3129937i=1 In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [hidden email] /user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=3129937i=2 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 If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RTF-support-tp3114703p3129937.html To unsubscribe from RTF support, click here http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_codenode=3114703code=d3BpaXNAZ3RlLm5ldHwzMTE0NzAzfDg1NDMxMTYz.
