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. -- Bill Gradwohl Roatan, Honduras 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. steve Steve, 1. I am not sure about 'Save as' myself. My testing though suggests it only converts or resets the internal file structure on conversion to another format. ODS to ODS does not appear to rewrite the internal structure. 2. the files created with 'Save as' does exhibit the problem. This indicates the problem is file specific and able to be transmitted to derivatives. 3. The problem can not be recreated in a freshly created ODS file, so in essence you could argue it is not a bug. 4. My gut feeling is the file structure is somehow corrupted. Nothing that would affect normal operation but shows up when conducting broadscale sheet manipulations. How this change has come about is unclear. OK, to prove a point, I stripped everything out of a copy of the file except the tabs and underlying structure. I opened each tab, deleted the text and cleared the font / background / linework formatting using the toolbar options. Removed the freeze panes and an object (images or textboxes) from the sheet. Saved. Tried to delete a sheet and behold, wouldn't you guess it, the file saved OK. This is a Seinfield moment I am currently holding my head in my hands repeating serenity now! serenity now! OK. OK. This indicates that something has been added to the file in recent months that is causing the problem -- an image, some imported text... h.. Really the only input to this file is text/numbers entered via the keyboard or the importation of text/numbers via CSV downloaded from a bank account. I stripped these but it made no change. *The short version* To cut a long process short I deleted a sheet then proceeded to clear the contents of other sheets progressively *until* I was able to save. This identified the sheet. I then repeated this process until I identified a single cell. In fact it was a 'duplicate cell'. This cell has an associated picklist -- that is cell range with a variety of legitimate values. It also has a comment inserted. This comment is simply an explanation and reminder to do something. *Delete the comment* and the sheet saves as expected; undo the change and the error appears. I say 'duplicate' because I copied and paste this block to another location on the same sheet as a 'fixed' copy (as the original has VLOOKUPs that change based on picklist value) but neglected to omit the comments so they were duplicated. *Some additional testing* 1. Going back to some 'uncorrupted' files from 2009 I am unable to reproduce the error. 2. If I create a new file I can not reproduce the error. 3. It is necessary to delete both the original and copy of the comment in question. Deleting one or the other makes no difference, both must be deleted. inspection of the contents.xml in the archive only shows one comment (I have no idea if this is normal; I presume a reference to the 'comment' object was cmpies not the object). 4. Once the offending comment-pair are deleted then the file works as expected. 5. If you reinsert a comment in the sheet -- after saving, closing and reopening the 'corrupted' file, you get an error again. 6. If you insert a comment in other sheet. In most the save works but for a couple it does not. I can not find any visible similarity in the data, format or objects on these pages (the error is triggered on certain sheets only). 7. If you create a new sheet, copy the text/numbers/format//formulas to the new sheet and delete the offending 'corrupt sheet'. Deleting another sheet does not trigger the error. If you insert a

Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice
Which font app are you talking about? I use GNOME on Ubuntu and I had several to choose from. It even had a default font viewer app included. Besides, I do not live in a cave, but on the 10 floor of a building that houses the elderly and the physically handicapped. No jokes about that please, since I am an advocate for the rights of handicapped/disabled people. Myself, I choose GNOME over KDE. There are some nice things about KDE, but I rather use GNOME and add some of the KDE utilities to it to give me the best of both worlds.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7
Hi :) Thanks for confirming that the _21 is the best version for LibreOffice. Is there any chance of joining the Documentation Team to write-up the instructions for installing a separate version of Java specifically for LibreOffice? I think a chapter about Java is likely to start off as being very small and it's not clear exactly where it could go but i think once written it could be moved fairly easily. Alternatively perhaps an Ubuntu Community Documentation page? Either a radical re-write of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java or something more specific to LibreOffice such as creating a new page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Base/Java With a longer-term view of having a single main page about Base that then has sub-pages (such as the Java one) and/or links to proper LibreOffice documentation.

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.

Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice
Hi :) Smart. I guess most of us just hadn't thought of it. I think short-forms are quite cute and friendly but the marketing team asked us not to use them outside the lists to the wider world (personal emails and smaller groups can do what they want of course). We need to get the full name out there apparently. Normally a name change such as from OpenOffice to LibreOffice would be phased in using both names in conjunction with each other for about a year or more apparently otherwise there is a risk of losing and confusing people and losing the Brand recognition. Early on the lists agreed to use LibO as the agreed shortening but to me that makes it sound like the thousands of library files i routinely ignore so a few of us started using LO as in Lo and behold (oops). Fx is the term used backstage rather than writing Special Effects. Lx is for electrics or electronics although people tend to pronounce it elec-trickery or Leccy to try to be amusing or cute or express annoyance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I build only libreoffice-writer instead of whole officesuite ?
Hi :) Yes, i liked the suggestion for just installing AbiWord. Gnome Office only has a few components but they are good and the AbiWord component seems to be exactly what Partha Chowdhury (= the OP) needs. I think it's good when communities work together like this. I'm not sure that AbiWord allows you to easily set the default formats to MS Office ones (ie .doc or .docX) which is one reason i prefer Writer but the native OpenDocument Formats are more secure and are the same for Gnome Office, LibreOffice/OpenOffice, Google-docs and many more too :) Regards from Tom :) From: Andreas Säger ville...@t-online.de To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 10 August, 2011 17:11:11 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I build only libreoffice-writer instead of whole officesuite ?

Hi :) +1 Hmm, well maybe not the absolute worst.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc will not save file after sheet deleted.
Hi :) I was wondering if it's to do with permissions of the folder you are trying to save into. In linux systems it's difficult to save in folders such as /root /boot and sometimes into other users or guests folders on a multi-user system. I have a feeling that you have already tried saving into another folder or onto your own desktop but i am not certain.

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).

Are there references to/from the sheet you deleted from other sheets that could be broken and causing problems. steve 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*. -- Cheers Simon -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to:

[libreoffice-users] Print in reverse page order missing for LibreOffice 3.4.2?
Hi. I'm trying to switch from OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 to LibreOffice 3.4.2; both installations on my Linux 2.6.28.6 system. When I do a File-Print on OpenOffice the 'Options' tab has four listed options; the second last is this: [] Print in reverse page order But the same tab with LibreOffice doesn't have that option for its 'Options' tab (it just has the other three). In both cases with the same system printer selected. The option just seems to have disappeared with LibreOffice 3.4.2. I've done a search in the LibreOffice-Users forum and couldn't find any discussion on it. The LibreOffice help page references the option (http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Printing_in_Reverse_Order) as if it should be there. Can anyone tell me what happened to the option with LibreOffice 3.4.2? I rely on the 'reverse page order' option so I can do a poor-man's duplex printing (printing the 'left pages' of my documents on one side of the paper, then feeding the sheets back into the non-duplex printer for the 'right pages').

Tom, I have checked all these issues. Permissions, folder permissions, owner/grp attributes have all been checked.

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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc will not save file after sheet deleted [SOLUTION]
Thanks. It was interesting. I am upset though I was unable to pin down the exact cause of the corruption. +/- the comment was obviously a symptom of a underlying structural problem solved through ATTEMPT 2 below. The file was originally created in June 2008 to replace my accounting package due to my frustration at the package not being able to do simple transactions and not being able to get at the underlying data or lookup tables (e.g. tax schedules). The ODS spreadsheet has been accessed at over 152 times from both Windows XP/Ubuntu/XP+VirtualBox, had data imported from external Internet sites 45 times as CSV files, purged then repopulated 3 times and converted from XLS to ODS once. I think all things considered the file has been relatively stable. What some people seem to forget who 'bag' the format, is that I have been able to access my data the entire time *even when this issue occurred*. In the absence of a RAD for a database system on Linux I will be sticking to using LibreOffice Calc to complete my accounting needs.

I have drawn this conclusion because (a) I can only reproduce the error on the effected file, (b) the comment insert/delete trick is suggestive but not consistent (or at least from what I can tell) - random sheets cause the file save error if comments are inserted; inserting comments into new sheets also trigger the error. I just hope that recreating this file does not corrupt the new file as I will need to copy blocks of text, numbers and formulas. *My attempts at recreating a clean file* ATTEMPT 1 Created a new file with one less tab. All tabs were named the same as the original. I then cut-and-paste all the data from the original to this newly created file. This took about 10 minutes. The problem is that all tab / sheet references after the omitted sheet moved across one. Despite the formula referencing the sheet name, the name is actually just a human readable cue for the underlying sheet number. So sheet Accounts (sheet #17 on the original file), which pointed to 'accounts lookup list' now points to the Tax sheet, which was #18 but is now #17 in the new file. ATTEMPT 2 Created a new file with exactly the same number of tabs. All tabs were named the same as the original. I then cut-and-paste all the data from the original to this newly created file. This took about 10 minutes. Then with baited breath I deleted the unrequired sheet that triggered this journey in the first place and clicked save. *It worked* - that is, it saved without triggering a write error. I have checked - (a) all data is intact, and (b) all the formulas are working. :) -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Principal Consultant Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, VIC W: www.botanicusaustralia.com.au -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Principal Consultant Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, VIC W: www.botanicusaustralia.com.au -- 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
