Re: [libreoffice-users] printing non-standard page sizes
Hi Matthew, Matthew Monaco schrieb: I've always had a lot of trouble printing when I setup a custom page size in the page properties. It seems like the print dialog tries to find the best fit of the predefined page sizes. Yes. The printer tells what paper size it is able to handle. And LO searches the best fitting from them. Unfortunately, the printer does not tell whether this paper size is really available. So your printer might go into a waiting mode and you have to enter the paper manually. Furthermore, I have no clue what the manual option is attempting to do. Is there something I'm missing here? The behavior is different for Writer, Calc, Draw and Impress. Generally there are two ways to get fitting of page format and paper size. You can tell your printer what to do. For example my printer can print with scaling 80%. Or you can tell LO what to do. Especially Draw and Calc have a lot of options. You should describe a concrete task, if you want detailed help.

Tony Just downloaded 3.4.2 from Filehippo, tested and at this moment cannot find any bug fixes from 3.4.1.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi :) I think the DocX format throws images around to some very strange places and often stacked on top of each nearly off the page. I think the text frame blocks them from moving far and could be left visible to provide a nice frame. Personally i think sticking to Odt or Doc or even Pdf formats would be easier. Pdf can't be edited by many people but does have the advantage of looking exactly the same on every machine. I think the problem is not so severe when there are only 1 or 2 pictures in the entire document which suggests that using Draw might be better as it a much larger number of embedded images more easily, but of course that might mean using an Open Document Format or a picture format or Pdf rather than DocX.

[libreoffice-users] Compute difference
Hi all, I need to do a difference in days between two dates, _without_ taking into account leap years (e.g. considering all years are 365 days long). The right way to do that would be to use function DAYS360(date1;date2;method) using method = 3 as in other financial functions, but it does seems to be implemented (only 0 non 0 are meaningful for this function currently). Does anybody know how to still do this without ressorting to a procedural language ? Regards, J.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Tony Some in-bedded pictures are more in-bedded than others, when this happens I blow the picture up as big as I can, then use screen print, paste into my Picture editor (Paint Shop Pro), crop my desktop to just the picture and save as a .jpg or just copy paste into the word text box - simples.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi :) The 3.4.1 is development branch for 'early adopters' and has some advanced features but also has oddities and maybe even regressions. It's a bit like seeing a play or a movie on the opening night or in the first week. I suspect that the 3.4.2 will be much the same. The 3.3.3 is the latest release of the stable branch and supported for a year apparently although it's not clear exactly what that means. A bit like watching a football match after everyone has told you all about the highlights and who won. It lacks some of the newer features but it's less quirky, less surprises. Anyone with the 3.4.1 is probably well advised to install the 3.3.3 alongside for when they need reliability but it's not easy so this guide should help with that. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Regards from Tom :) From: Tony Royston tony.roys...@mercyships.org To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Fri, 22 July, 2011 15:05:31 Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

[libreoffice-users] Given up spellchecking?
Writer seems to have stopped spellchecking, even though I have the standard dictionary set correctly (I think, to English -UK), and all the other language options I can find being set correctly, and in fact set the same way as before it (recently) stopped spell checking. A manual spell check finds no errors whatsoever (I've put some in, to make sure), there are no words underlined in red to indicate misspelling, and if I put in an incorrectly spelled word, LO doesn't complain. More than that, each time I access the dialog (sic :-) ) to set the hyphenating, it presents itself as English (USA), however many times I set it to English (UK). This is LO 3.3.2, under Fedora (15). It was working until very recently. A large proportion of KDE has updated in the last couple of days, but I don't see that this should have a bearing on this part of LO. Any ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Compute difference
Hi :) I think John's answer was mostly so you could copypaste into the right places! To do the formatting in the first part of his answer click on the cell and then look up at the menus at the top of the LibreOffice window. The menus should be something like File .. View ... Edit ... (err i can't remember) ... Format ... (more i can't remember) ... Window ... Help So, click on the Format menu, choose Cell and a pop-up box should appear with lots of tabs at the top. Choose the first one, General (or something). Somewhere on the left should be an option for Date which then gives you various sub-options. Hope this helps but there is a guide with screen-shots somewhere that might help so don't worry if it's not obvious.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Given up spellchecking?
Hi :) Grrr, this does seem to happen in LibreOffice occasionally. It's not just you and probably nothing to do with the updates in KDE either. I can't remember how to solve it but it's in one of the messy threads if you are able to search them? I think it's something to do with Tools - Options - Language Settings and then both the Languages and Writing Aids have settings you need to re-set (hopefully just once more). The chap that knows most about this is likely to be on-line a little later and might be able to help better.

You can do this through the style and formatting window (F11), editing -- default (right clic it) and then -- character size. If you just want to use this for certain documents, you can create a model with your desired height. Here is your file with trebuchet size 16 as default. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9434397/Tapsa%20Kansa%20-%20Paattyneet%20on%20Paivat%20-%20F.xls Namastè! cico :) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+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/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 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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I created an .xls file with OpenOffice 3.3 on OSX 10.6.8. Opening the file now on OSX 10.7, OpenOffice shows the document correctly (row height 0,67cm), but LibreOffice shows the row height at around 0,44cm, which makes about a third of the text to be chopped off. The issue appears in about 7% of my .xls files, and on some the text is chopped just slightly. It's not a big deal to re-adjust the row height for a few documents, but this might be something the devs would like to look into. One of the files with the issue can be found at: http://db.tt/uBzFayj You can adjust height and width of all rows and columns simultaneously. Click the space at the corner, top of the row numbers, left of the column letters (this selects the entire spreadsheet) next drag the first row bottom line downward as much as you like. It will adjust all rows. Same for columns.
