Re: [libreoffice-users] Given up spellchecking?
I had a look at this and it really is in the too hard category. Loads of files and directories where you mention, just trying to work out which ones should and shouldn't be hanging around was making my head hurt. On the other hand, the speel chucker is quite useful. I'll have apply myself to it when I've got some time free (hah!). If the next Fedora repository update doesn't clear it up, maybe I'll just remove it completely and reinstall to see if that'll do it. :-( Thanks Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... -- For 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
[libreoffice-users] Something strange : settings in Tools - Options - Impress - Print
Hi, I am using LibreOffice 3.4.2 on WinXP and I have discovered a strange thing : the settings in Tools - Options - Impress - Print dialog. Step1 Create new Impress file and save as FileNameA.odp. Step2 change the setting in Tools - Options - Impress - Print - Page Options: select Fit to page (from Default) and then Click OK Step3 Edit slide something and the Save Step4 Creat new one more Impress file Step5 Confirm the setting in Tools - Options - Impress - Print - Page Options: stay in Fit to page Step6 save as FileNameB.odp Step7 Close both of FileNameA.odp and FileNameB.odp Step8 Create new Impress file Step9 Confirm the setting in Tools - Options - Impress - Print - Page Options: stay in Fit to page Step10 Open FileNameA.odp Step11 Confirm the setting in Tools - Options - Impress - Print - Page Options: !? Default !? Why I get Page Options:Default ?? Do I have missed something? Is there anyone else experiencing this? Is there a solution? Is it a well known problem?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Footnote page space (Writer)
Hi Tom, Err, wot? Never mind, it's very much a document so I'm sticking with Writer. I`m actually using the context menu (right click on the page) and selecting page from there, but it comes to the same dialogue. Ok, a bit more research and some interesting results. Another document, just the default page size (A4, 8.27 x 11.69 inches with 0.79 inch margins all round) has a different, seemingly random, size. The maximum footer size I can put in is 8.01 inches, or 20.36 cm, so at least that dispels the one figure plus two decimal places idea. My real document is set up as 4.53x7.32 (WxH) with margins of 0.65, 0.95, 0.98 and 1.01 (I know, but that`s what the book I`m replicating appears to look like). The largest footnote space I can specify is 3.93. Header is on but not footer. I can`t see anywhere that defines the space the header will occupy. The spacing to footnote contents is a paltry 0.04 ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] problem to open a word docx file
Hi :) The problem probably is the image. Do you know what format the picture is in? The best formats are svg (scalar vector graphics), png, jpg, tiff (i hope), gif err, there is a long list of others that are also compatible with many programs. MS likes to try to force people into using formats that are not compatible with non-MS programs as it forces people to buy their products. Even their new docX format does not always appear the same when viewed in different releases of their own MS Office. So people still using the 'old' MS Office 2007 are forced into buying the newer MS Office 2010, and 'soon' the newer release. Compare with Open Document Formats or even Open Standards. MS' 'old' .doc format is now widely compatible with a huge range of programs which is one of the main reasons (imo) that they created the docX format. MS is a profit-making company that uses software to create profits for their shareholders.

Re: [libreoffice-users] problem to open a word docx file
I use to deal with a lot of Visio documents. DIA may still be able to load these files, but I had problems installing my copy of Visio onto Win-Vista so I had to drop using it. Now that Ubuntu is my default system, I needed to find alternatives to Visio as well. To be frank, MS Publisher files are not supported in most third-party software, and Visio files use to work with DIA diagram editor. It would be great if some really ambitious person would make a filter/extension that would give LibreOffice the ability to read those files and maybe even edit them. But I do not remember if they included those formats for their ISO format bit to take over ODF's spot as the International Standard for office suite file formats. If they did include them, then somewhere there should be some documentation on those formats, otherwise it will be a much tougher problem.

[libreoffice-users] How can be a property update from python?
Hi everybody, I want to set a custom property (like AuthorLastName) in a document before saving it as PDF. This in python (I want to generate the document as part of a larger script). I managed to update the fields using: dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, .uno:UpdateAll, , 0, ()) I cannot find hot to change a property, this: dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, .uno:SetDocumentProperties, , 0, properties) Opens the property view, which is not what I want. Where can I find some documentation about this?

[libreoffice-users] Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7
Hello. I've installed LibreOffice 3.4.2 in *Windows 7*, and Base doesn't open any odb file. When I try to do, it seems to open but suddenly closes. When I create a new odb file, it closes too, as soon as after using the database wizard. Base 3.4.1 has this problem too. I thought it was a bug that would be fixed in the new version 3.4.2, but now I don't know. But in Windows XP don't have that problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7
Hi :) It would be good to post a bug-report about it. There are no devs working on Base and none likely to start any time soon so you either need to use MS Access or perhaps try Win7 compatibility mode to see if you can run Base as though it was in Xp. (or stick to Xp for that database of course) Regards from Tom :) From: Juan Antonio juanh...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 3 August, 2011 17:47:52 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7 Hello.

To be frank, MS Publisher files are not supported in most third-party software, and Visio files use to work with DIA diagram editor. It would be great if some really ambitious person would make a filter/extension that would give LibreOffice the ability to read those files and maybe even edit them.

Hi, I tried to go through them, I also went in the Developer's Guide.

[libreoffice-users] Connect To Oracle Via JDBC Using Macro
I want to create a spreadsheet that connects to a customers database and pulls out statistical info into various sheets and presents it nicely. I am using a portable version of LibreOffice with an appropriate JDK/JRE and ojdbc6.jar in a sub-folder. My first step is to connect to the Oracle database. I can do it by opening Base and putting in the JDBC connection details and username /password. I can then go back to Calc and use it. However, when I go to a client it will be a new connection and I'd rather just click a single button rather than flip around between 2 applications setting things up. How would I do these steps using a macro? i.e. take the connection details from a range in the sheet (the customer would enter these details) create a new connection to Oracle run an sql query put the output onto a new sheet I'm proficient in Java and VBA but I am new to LibreOffice macros so I just need some pointers on how to get going.
