Hi :)
As with the other apps please check that you are NOT using the format ending 
with X, in this case avoid pptX.  Try Save As... to use the Microsoft 
Powerpoint (97/2000/Xp).  A better option is to give those people a link so 
they can download and install LibreOffice too rather than pay for the newer 
versions of MS Office.

There are a few problems with Impress but people are working on it and you 
could 
help by posting specific bug-reports or perhaps getting even more involved.  As 
things are this problem will probably get fixed without you having to do 
anything other than use the older Powerpoint formats.  


Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Displaying behaviour from old OpenOffice installation?

2011-08-09 Thread Simon Cropper (The foss Workflow Guides)

Hi :)
It is sometimes difficult to remove all traces of OOo.  It might be better to 
use this guide to reinstate OOo 

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

and then check which dependencies are missing for LibreOffice or just reinstall 
it?  


It might be worth installing the LibreOffice 3.3.3 alongside the 3.4.2 because 
it's a more stable version.  The 3.4.2 is for early adopters (equiv of 
development branch) but i thought the 3.4.x were slightly better at MS Office 
conversions.  


In the virtualised Fedora did you install LibreOffice from the Fedora repos?  
There might be some slight tweaks in versions in repos and it might be good for 
LO devs to know if there was an improvement! 


Note that some files convert more easily than others.  Files made with MS 
Office 
2007 sometimes look wrong in MS Office 2010 and vice-versa but i don't think 
that's the issue here.  


Developments happen fairly fast in LibreOffice but MS have a strong motive for 
making sure that everyone has to upgrade to their latest versions so it is 
always going to be catch-up work until Open Document Formats become more 
common-place.  


So, it might be good to give people links to LibreOffice or almost any other 
Office Suite so that you can use native ODF formats with them.  It might save 
them the cost of buying a newer version of MS Office just to keep up!
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Displaying behaviour from old OpenOffice 
installation?

Hi.  I've been running OpenOffice 3.3.0 on my Slackware 12.0 Linux
distribution (2.6.28.6 kernel).  It's been running fine, except its
formatting of Microsoft Word documents doesn't marry with Word itself.  I
have to run up Word if I want to make totally sure that indented columns
line up, lines don't overflow the right margin, etc.  And when I open a Word
document that I've 'fixed' to look right in Word back in OpenOffice it'll
look unaligned, even though in Word itself it isn't.

Then, today, I installed LibreOffice 3.4.2 on a Fedora 14 virtual machine,
having read a comment that LibreOffice does a much better job of emulating
Word.  Sure enough, LibreOffice worked perfectly in that virtual machine -
rendering documents just like Word.

So I promptly went back to my 'real' machine and installed LibreOffice.

However LibreOffice is no different!  When I open up a document it looks
exactly as it used to in OpenOffice (i.e. the text is unaligned, unfaithful
to how Word would render it).  Also the icons in the various menu bars don't
look at all the same between LibreOffice running on my host machine versus
how it looks on the Fedora 14 VM.

I move the existing OpenOffice installation out of the way (by renaming the
/opt/openoffice.org* directories) and did a 'ps' listing to make sure that
the executables that I was running were all coming out of
/opt/libreoffice3.4.  Clicking on the Help/About menu tells me that I'm
running LibreOffice 3.4.2.

Right now I have no idea what to look at next.  I guess something is hanging
around in my Slackware host machine that's telling LibreOffice to do the
wrong formatting?  Is it possible that different versions of shared
libraries could cause LibreOffice to look and render quite differently?

Many thanks for any tips!

The likely reason 'make install' does not work is that it is not been
created by ./configure.

Keep repeating ./configure until no more errors are encountered then
try sudo make install. Once you can get the two to work then your ODBC

Re: [libreoffice-users] need to find the link

How about Windows computers?
Most users have Windows, people tell me.  So they would need the 
Windows version of this add-on.


Also, I checked Ubuntu 10.04 Synaptic Package manager and 
mozilla-libreoffice is not there.  mozilla-openoffice.org is though.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] need to find the link


No that is not what I was looking for.

It was an add-on for Firefox and LO/OOo that connected the two packages
together.

It gave an option in Firefox to Open Lo/OOo and pass the ODF file[s] to the
office package to oven and view them.

Right now, Firefox can read .odt files internally, but if I wanted to view a
Draw or Calc file, the add-on would automatically open LO and display the file
in LO instead of within Firefox.

I know that there was this Firefox/OOo add-on/extension, since I has it on my
Windows laptop before it crashed to the point I has to reinstall the OS from
scratch.  I know that there should be a version for Linux, since I remember it
on my Ubuntu system spring/summer of last year, before that system required a
complete wipe and rebuild.

Right now, I cannot find the extension/add-on in my extension/add-on folder for
OOo/LO and the one for Firefox/Thunderbird.

So I am looking for someone who knows where that link is.

Also I run 64-bit OS for Ubuntu, so some of the Firefox add-ons cannot work on a
386-x64 system, and must have a 386-x32 one.  I do not know why, since I have
the 386 libraries installed to run non-64-bit packages.

[libreoffice-users] Inconsintent behaviour of libreoffice with master document and python

2011-08-09 Thread Alberto

Hi all,

I see a very strange behaviour behaviour in libreoffice when creating
the pdf from a master document.

Using this:
dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, .uno:UpdateAll, , 0, ())

In some case I see all the various sub documents loaded and properly
put in the pdf, some other time instead this simply fails and I get
something like:
1
2
3

The fields of the document are actually updated properly (the script
updates some of them and launch a second time the update all).

What puzzles me is that sometimes it works and some others it doesn't.
Like it doesn't like something in one of the sub-documents.
In few cases deleting the master document helped. In some others it
failed anyway :/, and I need to rely on the document, I don't want to
have to delete it every couple of days.

One thing more, I work with libreoffice in headless mode.

Anybody had the same or a similar issue?


Thanks,

Thank you for posting the example data. My rough estimate was not that 
far away from your actual requirement (in fact everybody tries the same 
trivial thing, assuming that a spreadsheet must be the right tool which 
it isn't).
Since we are going to automate the processing of data records using one 
software tool or the other, it is vital to have the exact structure of 
the incoming data, particularly when the structure is beyond your control.
When you are going to engage an architect for a reconstruction of your 
familiy home, an album of polaroids and some verbal description won't be 
enough for a rough estimate on possibilities and costs. You need 
detailed plans, measurements, a chronological history of the house and 
the materials involved.

This is about engineering, the ugly little sister of magic.

[libreoffice-users] XSLT Import Problems

2011-08-09 Thread Jorgo

It was quite difficult to find appropriate information of LibreOffice XSLT
Filters. With the Manuals of OpenOffice I could develop some import filters
but still have troubles with some issues (all applied in Calc, XSLT v1.0):

a) A once installed filter (Tools/XML Filter Settings/New...) can not be
removed anymore. When deleted/confirmed the same filter appears again when
restarting. Even when deleting the .xslt file it appears, it just doesn't
have a function anymore.
Ist this a known problem where somebody has a solution?

b) My Calc-import-filter shall import a wordpress export xml. This xml has
many tags like wp:name. The Import doesn't work with : so I changed both
xml and xslt to e.g. wp_name and everything worked fine.
Is there a common solution to make it work with special chars in tags like
:?

c) Which XSLT version is actually used by LibreOffice 3.3 and 3.4 and where
do we find a good documentation or some more samples?

Thanks for any (even partial) support  best regards, j.

I am actively adding content to this release of the book. I am currently
working through the Calc section. When I finish with that, I will move on to
the next section, which is not yet in the document. The German translation
is on chapter 7 I believe.

Great book. I downloaded it and exported it to PDF. I found a strange
page break however, on page 488 (PDF version) or 487 (ODF version).
Just thought you wanted to know…

I also wonder why the page numbers of the PDF (the one I exported to
myself) are not the same as those on the ODF, but that has probably
nothing to do with the document itself.

The fact that the documents now have a date after each one helps people 
know if they have the latest version of that document.  I always want to 
keep my document list as up-to-date as I can.

Of course I have to remember to check the list from time to time to make 
sure I have them.

I keep forgetting to look and then suddenly there is a whole new set of 
documents on the list.  It happened with Calc and Impress.  It could 
happen again when/if the Macro's Guide comes out on that page.

But, to be honest, I did tend to download the whole set of documents 
every so often - when there were no dates listed.

 498 pages worth of Macros Explained could help a lot of people on these
 lists.

 Have downloaded it and exported it as a PDF file.

 I usually upload the current PDF version when I upload the ODT version.  
(for
 what it is worth).

 All I had was the link to the .odt file.  I always make PDF copies of every
 .odt file I download.
 I cannot wait to see what the book is like next.

 Please, would you list the link again.  This time I might remember to 
bookmark
 the page for later use.

 I always need online [and offline] sources of documentation for people I 
have
 convinced to switch to LibreOffice.  Documentation for Base and Macros are 
asked
 about.  I do not use Base at all and rarely use macros, but I deal with 
people
 who deal with data bases and creating macros.

 my domain - Original site for online DVD testing site [for now - the most
 up-to-date - till the CMS version catches up]
 http://libreoffice-na.us/



 I have no problems with a copy of the documents from my site being included.

 Eventually, however, printed copies will be offered for sale. I have already
 spoken with Jean Weber about making this happen in a way that will involve the
 community hosting and providing the printing with a portion of the sales
 supporting the community. My only point to this is that for the most part, 
Jean
 Weber knows more about the details related to the stated license or copyright
 and how that works. Note that some documents are already released using this
 model.

 I am currently working on one of the getting started Macro chapters for the
 official LO documentation. Hmm, I have no idea if the LO authors group offers
 printed copies yet, or if that is only ODF authors (in my mind, they are
 strongly related).

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Lockdown




- user installed extensions seem to me to be a major issue from a school or

I do not understand what you mean here.
If the extension issued by the school or is the lock down an issue that 
blocks LO's use in schools?


I have not followed this thread on the email lists, so I may be asking 
question already answered.


Which version if being used?  3.3.3? -- 3.3.4? -- 3.4.1? -- 3.4.2?
It appears that you are dealing with Windows.

As for the Windows placement, I looked into my Windows laptop and cannot 
figure out which folder/file in the ProgramFiles  Libreoffice3 or 
LibreOffice3.4 folders is where the user configuration is being held.  
Hopefully someone out there can tell us where.


For me, I if I have such a problem, I tend to delete the LibreOffice 
folder[s] in the ProgramFiles and/or ProgramData [Vista].  That will get 
rid of all the user and package settings.  Then when you start up LO 
again, you will have to re-enter your info like a fresh install.  At 
that point, I would add one extension at a time and try to avoid which 
one caused the problem - if known.  I have had to do that several times 
for broken extensions that either failed to install properly, or 
caused major issues with LO when I try to use it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] need to find the link

2011-08-09 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions

Hi :)
Yeh, i need to find what the equivalent is in Windows.  I'm sure there is 
something but i don't know what it is.  I guess you dopn't see the 

mozilla-libreoffice
package because you have not enabled the PPA?  If you downloaded the 
LibreOffice 
installer from the website then you might need to do a custom install or use 
the Repair option to add components?

I'm not sure how this works but the mozilla-openoffice.org is almost definitely 
the wrong package.  I would be tempted to try it and then uninstall package if 
it didn't work!

 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] need to find the link


 No that is not what I was looking for.

 It was an add-on for Firefox and LO/OOo that connected the two packages
 together.

 It gave an option in Firefox to Open Lo/OOo and pass the ODF file[s] to the
 office package to oven and view them.

 Right now, Firefox can read .odt files internally, but if I wanted to view a
 Draw or Calc file, the add-on would automatically open LO and display the file
 in LO instead of within Firefox.

 I know that there was this Firefox/OOo add-on/extension, since I has it on my
 Windows laptop before it crashed to the point I has to reinstall the OS from
 scratch.  I know that there should be a version for Linux, since I remember it
 on my Ubuntu system spring/summer of last year, before that system required a
 complete wipe and rebuild.

 Right now, I cannot find the extension/add-on in my extension/add-on folder 
for
 OOo/LO and the one for Firefox/Thunderbird.

 So I am looking for someone who knows where that link is.

 Also I run 64-bit OS for Ubuntu, so some of the Firefox add-ons cannot work 
 on 
a
 386-x64 system, and must have a 386-x32 one.  I do not know why, since I have
 the 386 libraries installed to run non-64-bit packages.

I'm still looking forward to a good example of a scenario best suited

Re: [libreoffice-users] new book



I am really grateful for that.

Having the Documentation list show the number of pages and the date last 
modified work well for me.
I am going to really happy when the Draw chapters come out, and I will 
be able to remove the OOo version off the list of documentation for the 
NA DVD[s] that I am updating, and then Drew can do the same for the CMS 
system version.


359 and 439 pages for a PDF book is a nice hefty size.  $23 to $25 [plus 
shipping] is not that bad of a price for a computer related book either.


The introduction chapters seemed to be first uploaded in December 2010, 
but the first chapter was updated in June.


Calc was mostly April, but some was updated in May

Impress chapters weer all dated 31 July except Chapter 3 which was dated 
for the day before.

Hi. I've been running OpenOffice 3.3.0 on my Slackware 12.0 Linux
distribution (2.6.28.6 kernel). It's been running fine, except its
formatting of Microsoft Word documents doesn't marry with Word itself. I
have to run up Word if I want to make totally sure that indented columns
line up, lines don't overflow the right margin, etc. And when I open a
Word
document that I've 'fixed' to look right in Word back in OpenOffice it'll
look unaligned, even though in Word itself it isn't.

So I promptly went back to my 'real' machine and installed LibreOffice.

However LibreOffice is no different! When I open up a document it looks
exactly as it used to in OpenOffice (i.e. the text is unaligned, unfaithful
to how Word would render it). Also the icons in the various menu bars
don't
look at all the same between LibreOffice running on my host machine versus
how it looks on the Fedora 14 VM.

Right now I have no idea what to look at next. I guess something is
hanging
around in my Slackware host machine that's telling LibreOffice to do the
wrong formatting? Is it possible that different versions of shared
libraries could cause LibreOffice to look and render quite differently?

Many thanks for any tips!

 In attempting to help Bob Stia in the 'password problem' thread, I came

 Interesting. I am familiar with the author. He has provided much advice 
 to the community.
 
 This works *if* you have the *exact* password in the password file.
 Unfortunately it doesn't take regex etc., so it's only useful if the
 exact password is in the dictionary/password file. Is there any way to
 modify the macro so that it will try variations?
 
 yes
 
 Example:

 Password is 'test'.
 - try 't' and combinations of 't' for length 4.

 similar to pdfcrack.
 Would probably require some work to write it as  you desire. For a one 
 shot deal, however, it might be just as easy to simply generate a text 
 file created in a spreadsheet.
 
 Otherwise, you would want to remove the file I/O related commands such as:
 
 Opening the file:
  iFile = FreeFile ()
  open sDicFile for input as iFile
 
 
 ** Rather than opening a file, you would initialize your test password 
 with something.
 
 Closing the file:
  close #iFile
 
 Reading the file:
 Line Input #iFile, sPass
 
  Rather than reading the file, you simply need to automatically 
 choose the next password based on the current password. At one time, I 
 wrote a checker that would check based on some assumed characters. I 
 posted the code on the OOo forum.

Thanks Andrew. I've no experience with macros, so it will be a good
learning experience.

This is not possible, I'm afraid. The formatting is done by means of 
styles, except for the number format which is taken from the source data.
Row fields and column fields share the same style which is named

 Hi all,
 
 I see a very strange behaviour behaviour in libreoffice when creating
 the pdf from a master document.
 
 Using this:
 dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, .uno:UpdateAll, , 0, ())
 
 In some case I see all the various sub documents loaded and properly
 put in the pdf, some other time instead this simply fails and I get
 something like:
 1
 2
 3
 
 The fields of the document are actually updated properly (the script
 updates some of them and launch a second time the update all).
 
 What puzzles me is that sometimes it works and some others it doesn't.
 Like it doesn't like something in one of the sub-documents.
 In few cases deleting the master document helped. In some others it
 failed anyway :/, and I need to rely on the document, I don't want to
 have to delete it every couple of days.
 
 One thing more, I work with libreoffice in headless mode.
 
 Anybody had the same or a similar issue?
 
 
 Thanks,

 There is a Calc Section of the forum? Where?

There is no LO official forum but there are several OpenOffice and
LO forums you can use. OpenOffice being the older project has more
extensive documentation and I believe some forums. 

  
  Thank you for posting the example data. My rough estimate was not that
  far away from your actual requirement (in fact everybody tries the same
  trivial thing, assuming that a spreadsheet must be the right tool which
  it isn't).
 
 I'm still looking forward to a good example of a scenario best suited
 for Calc (Spreadsheets).  Since a spreadsheet is about calculative
 tables and database programs can achieve most things spreadsheets are
 used for (these days) ... shouldn't we be pushing for deprecating the
 likes of Calc so the vast majority can face the real tools?
 

Calc or any spreadsheet are best used when you are primarily concerned
with using data for calculations beyond very basic arithmetic and
statistical summaries. They are very good for generating what if
scenarios and similar analyses as well as producing graphs. I have
extensively used spreadsheets for many calculations. If you do not need
relational analysis of the data they can be used as a poor man's
database. The most basic database just stores data in some logical
manner and a spreadsheet can do this.

Databases are best suited to collecting, storing, and organizing data in
logical groups as the users need. The allow users to explore possible
relationships within the data that are always obvious. The data
searching tools are much more powerful in a database than in a
spreadsheet, particularly if you know SQL or similar tools. However a
database can not be used as a poor man's spreadsheet. Strictly speaking
most modern databases are relational databases meaning they are designed
to sift through datasets that are somehow related. 

An example of the use of both, I would use a spreadsheet to calculate my
project estimates for a proposal and would track the vendor bids for
each proposal and each proposal in a database. If I set the relationship
between correctly I could be entering the data once.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with subscript in Impress

Today could reproduce the problem in Win7 running in Virtualbox on a Mac. As

downloaded at http://db.tt/klaLw5R.

The first screenshot is in the normal editing view and the second one is in

into the pdf file.

Please tell me if I you think I should file a bug report, or if it should be
handled in a different way.

 I observe a similar behavior in LO 3.4.? under Ubuntu Linux. I am also
 coming from the Chemistry perspective here. It seems to be better now.

 I basically work with one font (Gill Sans) and had the feeling that it
 might be better with different fonts (Arial). A workaround here would be
 to align the positions and shrinking by hand - i.e. adjust the
 parameters for position and shrinking..

 Cheers

As I was rotating the text it would often bounce into the adjoining

I think your problem is that Writer is converting the first set of

I am not sure how to suppress the automatic outlining. May be someone

No that is not what I was looking for.

It was an add-on for Firefox and LO/OOo that connected the two packages
together.

It gave an option in Firefox to Open Lo/OOo and pass the ODF file[s] to the
office package to oven and view them.

Right now, Firefox can read .odt files internally, but if I wanted to view a
Draw or Calc file, the add-on would automatically open LO and display the file
in LO instead of within Firefox.

I know that there was this Firefox/OOo add-on/extension, since I has it on my
Windows laptop before it crashed to the point I has to reinstall the OS from
scratch.  I know that there should be a version for Linux, since I remember it
on my Ubuntu system spring/summer of last year, before that system required a
complete wipe and rebuild.

Right now, I cannot find the extension/add-on in my extension/add-on folder

for

OOo/LO and the one for Firefox/Thunderbird.

So I am looking for someone who knows where that link is.

Also I run 64-bit OS for Ubuntu, so some of the Firefox add-ons cannot work on
a
386-x64 system, and must have a 386-x32 one.  I do not know why, since I have
the 386 libraries installed to run non-64-bit packages.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7

Hi :)
Except that quite a few people have reported problems with ultra-new java such 
as the  _26 version.  The _22 and _20 were ok but the _21 seems to be the best 
for LibreOffice Base.  I think the _22 is the standard one in the Ubuntu repos 
but i'm not sure about other distros or Windows (or Mac or Bsd).  It might mean 
you need to have 2 versions of Java installed as your web-browser might be 
using 
something other than the _20 - _22

I know someone on this list would know what the best link for it is.  Ubuntu

[libreoffice-users] Calc will not save file after sheet deleted.


Hi,

I have an old spreadsheet in ODS format. The file was originally an XLS 
file then converted to ODS format several years ago *and* has been used 
weekly over that period without any problems.


When I try an delete a sheet from the file I get an error Error saving 
the document FILE: Write Error. The file could not be written.


If, prior to attempting the sheet removal, I change the contents of a 
cell the file is saved without any problems.


When the error occurs the saving progress bar appears, moves to ~20% 
completion stops for several seconds, then progresses to ~80% completion 
at normal saving speed, stops again for several seconds then crashes. 
This is in contrast to a normal save where the progress bar moves at a 
constant rate for the entire saving process.


If I attempt to insert a sheet I get the same problem.

*I should point out* here that the sheet being deleted and inserted are 
mid-file, that is I have 18 tabs and I am trying to delete sheet 7. When 
I insert a sheet I am inserting after sheet 7 or 8 (does not really matter).


What I have noticed is if I use the 'add sheet' tab -- that is the last 
tab with the green '+' sign instead of the name to add a sheet; a sheet 
can be added and the document saved. This same sheet can be deleted, 
although the progress bar behaves as if the error is going to happen, 
that is it pauses at 20% and 80% completion; except this time it 
finishes without the error dialog appearing.


My tests indicate that the last sheet of the original untouched file can 
be deleted. Like above the progress bar behaves an unusual way but does 
complete without the error dialog appearing.


I can not reproduce the error on a new clean file.

If I work back through the historical copies of the file, I can only 
reproduce the error in this years version. It is as if the file has 
become partially corrupted. The question is how and can it be easily fixed.


Before I spend the time recreating the file from scratch or modifying 
one of the old backups...


*Has anyone encountered or heard of a similar problem?*

*Anyone got some ideas?*

*Is it worth upgrading LibreOffice?*

I am running LibreOffice 3.4.1 OOO340m1 (Build:103) on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. 
The java version used is Sun Microsystems Inc. 1.6.0_26, although I have 
also checked and verified the problem occurs on 1.6.0_20 (which just 
happened to be on the system).


LibreOffice was manually installed from downloaded DEB files *not* 
installed from the LibreOffice PPA repository or the Ubuntu Software Centre.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Calc: Format column titles in DataPilot

2011-08-09 Thread jorge

Hi

I suggest you this:

1) Make the pilot data
2) If you format cell orientation (cell of pilot selected), you can
chage the orientation (Vertical in grade that you want, except the first
column). If you want to change the titles of headers, select the cell
and use F2 to do it.
3) If you want to change all the columns headers orientations you can
copy the pilot data to other space or sheet and then change the format
cell orientation (Menu-Format-Cell)

Jorge Rodríguez

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc will not save file after sheet deleted.

Hi

Check if the file is opened as read only

If it is like that you have to save the file with new name for changing
it.

I have two thoughts: first can you from a known well behaved file move
forward without any difficulties and the second is to either install
3.4.2 or 3.3.3 and see if the problem clears up. I believe you have a
corrupted file. If moving forward works, its a pain but it might be
easier to recreate what you need from the clean fork.

And do you get the same problem if you save as a new name without
deleting the sheet (so it saves OK) and exit running instances of LO and
then re-open it.
Are there references to/from the sheet you deleted from other sheets
that could be broken and causing problems.

corrupted file. If moving forward works, its a pain but it might be
easier to recreate what you need from the clean fork.



1. I can but it will require effort.  This is not a problem except that 
without knowing the problem I might spend a day cutting-and-pasting the 
formulas and macros only to find the problem is transferred.


2. Downloading 3.4.2 as we speak to see if the problem persists.

3. I also suspect I have a corrupt file but as it contains unique data 
and complex formula I will need to move these into the new file. As 
stated above I am reticent to do this without knowing where the error 
resides and why it occurred.


4. My preference is to recreate a clean fork -- assuming the file is 
actually corrupt, so I have confidence it using the file.

1. do you get the same problem if you save as a new name without 
deleting the sheet... No. The file saves OK and behaves as per normal 
unless I delete or insert sheet mid-file.


2. Problem persists even if I reboot.

3. Are there references to/from the sheet... Yes, the file is riddled 
with cross-references. That said I have tried deleting sheets that are 
orphaned and the problem still occurs. If I insert a new sheet mid-file, 
the problem still occurs. I can chomp off the last sheet, which is 
cross-referenced in several locations elsewhere in the file and the 
problem *does not occur*.

I've been fighting this corruption issue for YEARS and can't get anyone

none of them ever solve these corruption problems.

When LO saves a file and then can't reopen it successfully, it is LO's
problem regardless of what an end user might have done.

They keep putting a new coat of paint on a rusty chassis and are

Hi Bill,

I was aware of your issue but don't believe we are talking about the 
same problem. My symptoms are quite different. I am not sure at present 
whether the problem is a corrupt file or wonky OO/LO code.

[libreoffice-users] My secret password recovery procedure

2011-08-09 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton

Having trouble decrypting that file you saved with a password just yesterday?  
You try your familiar password over and over and are told it is incorrect?

Try changing your Caps Lock setting.

Sometimes when we set the password, the Caps Lock is set wrong but we type the 
password twice exactly the same without noticing.

You'd be surprised how often that happens.

 Check out the bug I just created at
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39930

 I've been fighting this corruption issue for YEARS and can't get anyone
 to look at it seriously.  They keep coming out with new releases, but
 none of them ever solve these corruption problems.

 When LO saves a file and then can't reopen it successfully, it is LO's
 problem regardless of what an end user might have done.

 They keep putting a new coat of paint on a rusty chassis and are
 shocked, shocked when someone points out the rot.

 Hi Bill,

 I was aware of your issue but don't believe we are talking about the
 same problem. My symptoms are quite different. I am not sure at
 present whether the problem is a corrupt file or wonky OO/LO code.

I may be wrong, but I have always thought that a Save As saves in a
newly created file formatted from scratch. If a file that has been
Saved As still exhibits the problem I would think that 1. if the file
is corrupted LO is corrupting it and has a bug or 2. if the file is not
corrupted (you could delete a sheet in say OOO?) then the bug is in LO.
Either way LO has a bug.

You try your familiar password over and over and are told it is incorrect?

Try changing your Caps Lock setting.

Sometimes when we set the password, the Caps Lock is set wrong but we type the 
password twice exactly the same without noticing.

You'd be surprised how often that happens.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7

2011-08-09 Thread Don Myers


Hi,

When we had the long thread about Base working really slowly and the 
problem being Java, I thought someone said the issue only affected those 
running Base in Linux. I only run it (but on 4 machines) in Ubuntu. I 
have no Windows installs. When Ubuntu had 1.6.0_22 as the default, my 
base worked fine. When the Java 1.6.0_24 update was installed, base 
became horribly slow. When the 1.6.0_26 update was installed, it was 
still very slow. Someone in the thread said that in Linux you can have 
two Java versions installed on a system side by side, and he gave 
instructions on how to do it. Following those instructions, I've tried 
both 1.6.0_21 and 1.6.0_22. Base works well with both of them, but is 
just a tiny bit faster on my systems with the _21 version. When you 
install the second version as per the instructions this person gave, the 
older version is only used for LibreOffice. The browsers are still using 
the latest version, so you have all of the security protection of the 
latest version. I'm sorry I can't give you advise relative to Windows 
systems. I don't know if Windows has the same situation as Linux. The 
problem wasn't that Base didn't run in Linux. It was just very sluggish.

Hi :)
Except that quite a few people have reported problems with ultra-new java such
as the  _26 version.  The _22 and _20 were ok but the _21 seems to be the best
for LibreOffice Base.  I think the _22 is the standard one in the Ubuntu repos
but i'm not sure about other distros or Windows (or Mac or Bsd).  It might mean
you need to have 2 versions of Java installed as your web-browser might be using
something other than the _20 - _22

Tom :)

I remember something about Sun/Oracle older version of Java having problem with
LibreOffice, but there is an open-source version that would instead.

The one on my Ubuntu system states it is Sun's Java, but the file's name
[folder's name] of the runtime engine seems to be Java-6-openjdk.

I know someone on this list would know what the best link for it is.  Ubuntu
seems to have it on its repository, but Windows would need a link to
find/download it for their use.

As for the latest version of Java, it is always a good idea to keep your version
of Java up-to-date.

Solved . The problem was *Java*. It wasn't correctly installed in my pc.

I've desinstalled Java and then installed the last version, and LibreOffice
Base runs normally.

[libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

2011-08-09 Thread SillyOne

My question is really basic, but I couldn't find anything about it, sorry. 
So here goes.

Adding fonts to the windows version of LE is simple, just add them to the
c:/windows/fonts folder (or install via control panel), and you can use
them in LE just as in any other applications.
But in Linux (I'm using Linux Mint 11 x64) I can't figure out how to get it
done.

*what I have tried:*
1) copied the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/windows-fonts, updated
the font cache doing sudo fc-cache -fv, they show up using fc-list, but they
didn't show up in LibreOffice.
2) opened the font in font viewer and clicked install, same as above.

I'd prefer a solution that can be automated (I'm about to install hundreds
of fonts), but everything is appreciated.

Thank you!

Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

2011-08-09 Thread Onyeibo Oku

Add them to /home/user/.fonts

Note the dot on .../.fonts, so its a hidden file. You see it on your home 
folder by pressing ctrl+H

Enjoy
