RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Word .docx formatting in Libre Office
Oops, I forgot a case. When I opened the original ODT document with the drawing-created text box in Microsoft Office Word 2010, the document opened with only one problem. The box was too small for the text so I had to enlarge the frame a little to get all of the text to fit. I could see it was all there but clipped by the frame of the text box. So room for more interoperability to be worked on. Still not as terrible as LO not being able to read back the docx of its own creation. Finally, out of curiosity, I looked into the XML of the .docx that LO 3.3.2 made. There is no text in it. Word 2010 didn't lose the text. It never got that far. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Dennis E.

But I did that one too, just to see what the differences are. - Dennis SUMMARY It appears that it is LibreOffice that is losing the text when reading the DOCX text box. When the same .docx is read back into LibreOffice, it has no text at all and even the border I added is gone. Microsoft Office Word 2010 sees the border but not the content. If I put content in on the Word 2010 side, it comes back to LO in an ODT and a DOC, but LO doesn't see the text in the DOCX (though it now sees the frame.) The only odd thing about bringing the adjusted DOCX (adding the text back in) as an ODT from Word 2010 is that a stray empty graphic box shows up on the ODT page. But the text box and its text are there too. This is true when the exported ODT is read back into Word 2010 and when it is read into LibreOffice 3.3.2. CONCLUSION I stand by my original analysis. None of them have anything to be proud of, but the round tripping of DOCX from LibreOffice is far worse than the ODT round-tripped from Word 2010, although the added graphic frame is certainly undesirable. The side-by-side and interchange case analysis to raise the level of interoperability is still required. DETAILS I made a text box using View | Toolbars | Drawing. I selected T and drew a box with the modified cursor and added text to it. Then I positioned the box where I wanted and use the Line dialog to put a border around the box. I save this as an .odt file from LibreOffice 3.3.2. It re-opens correctly. With the ODT open in LibreOffice 3.3.2, I saved the file as a Microsoft Word 2007 .docx. When I reopened the file in LibreOffice 3.3.2, the page is blank. There is nothing in it. When I open the file in Microsoft Office 2010, I get the frame and the border and no text. So, with the visible frame selected in Office 2010, I right click and select the Add Text option in the context menu. I then save that as a .docx, as a .doc, and as an .odt. Word 2010 opens the saved .doc and .docx with the added-in perfectly. It opens the .odt perfectly except there is a stray empty text frame in the upper left corner of the document. The centered frame with text is as I saved it. I have no idea how the stray graphic frame came along for the ride. Now, using LibreOffice 3.3.2 and the three versions made from Microsoft Word 2010, here is the result: The docx comes into LibreOffice with the border and text frame showing, but the text frame is empty. (This is better than it does with the docx it created itself, where everything is lost.) The .doc comes back perfectly as saved from Microsoft Office Word 2010. The .odt text box comes back just fine too, and the stray box is in the upper left corner that showed up on round-trip back into Word 2010 is also there in LO 3.3.2. -Original Message- From: NoOp [mailto:gl...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 19:34 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Word .docx formatting in Libre Office On 08/12/2011 07:03 PM, Dennis E.

CONCLUSION It would seem, in this simple case, that no one has much to be proud of concerning interop between the different native formats. It is odd that the worst case here is the DOCX output from LibreOffice read back into LibreOffice. But Word 2010 doesn't round-trip to and from ODT a lot better (although it is a lot easier to adjust manually if desired).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pimaco extension for labels
Hi :) Thanks Sigrid. Copy-left agreements such as the Creative Commons used in artworks, video, documentation and elsewhere is a very new concept that can allow people to copy, modify and redistribute. The traditional idea of public domain is merely that you are allowed to read it and if you are really lucky you might be allowed to copy a certain number of lines. The laws around it are quite turgid, confusing and vary from country to country. TDF Documentation Team often use a CC by SA (a Creative Commons) license.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pimaco extension for labels

Someone at work suggested turning the label sheets the other way around in the printer as there is often a tiny difference in the measurements between topbottom and leftright. I tried measuring it with a ruler but the difference seems negligible but it seemed to make a difference! My guess is that a lot of those templates need a slight editing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] MS Word .docx formatting in Libre Office
Hi Tom, Thanks to you and the others who responded to my query. It made interesting reading. As suggested below I have installed Libre Office 3.4.2 in parallel with the default version of LO supplied under Ubuntu 11.04. I understand that things aren't always going to be right with .docx files so I have taken the thesis document I'm currently interested in and have converted it to .doc as suggested. Now when I look at this in LO (either version) it is not picking up all of the Table of Content entries. The original TOC was set up to pick up all Heading 1 through Heading 4 entries. I have tried using Tools - Outline Numbering - Numbering to define Heading 1 through Heading 4 entries, but this appears to have made no difference. Can anyone suggest what I should be using here please, or how I use this process to get these headings picked up? Also does this mean that I have to set this each time I look at different documents or is there a way of setting LO so that it automatically picks up all headers e.g 1 through 9 as a matter of course. Basically I am not really sure what Tools - Outline Numbering is supposed to do, or what the thinking is behind how TOCs are handled in LO. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pimaco extension for labels
Hi Tom, There was one size label our church was using that wasn't on the World Label list of available labels. Those labels were used to print ingredients for Easter eggs they sell. Also, there wasn't a template for that particular size. I sent them an e-mail. Apparently it was an error that the size I wanted wasn't listed. they had the label available. I made a table style template for them and sent it to them. The person who had been printing them for the church was using Microsoft Word. I was helping to put them on. By the time we would get to 2/3 down the label sheet the labels were printing high and the top line would end up being partially on the bottom of the label above it. There was no margin for error. The labels were full. I put the ingredients in the table style form and printed them in OpenOffice at that time (LibreOffice was not out yet, but the labels work just as well in it.) and they printed perfectly. No wasted labels at all. The advantage of the table style is that if you need to move the text right or left, simply drag the column widths. To change how the text is centered on the labels, simply change the top margin of the page. I do a fair amount of label printing, and I love the table style label templates. I also found in my e-mails to World Label, they are very strong proponents of Open Source. Therefore they get my business. Their prices are competitive also. I've only used American sizes. The only adjustments I've needed to make are to adjust for variations between printers. On 08/13/2011 09:20 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Oops, ignore my last email about this! Someone at work suggested turning the label sheets the other way around in the printer as there is often a tiny difference in the measurements between topbottom and leftright. I tried measuring it with a ruler but the difference seems negligible but it seemed to make a difference! My guess is that a lot of those templates need a slight editing. Last time i did labels i took the standard template and then modified it a bit for myself. Does the world label place allow uploads of improved designs or is there a place in LibreOffice wiki or somewhere that better templates could be stored? Regards from Tom :) From: Dennis E.

Re: [libreoffice-users] MS Word .docx formatting in Libre Office
Hi :) Many apologies. I had assumed you were sharing much shorter documents with office users in an office type environment. Since you are writing a longer work and can retain control of it then sticking to odt is probably best. I think it might be a good idea to read about using styles http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice and also Chapter 12 in the Writer Guide http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide When you want other people to proof-read it or make suggestions you can always save-as .doc or export to pdf. Pdf keeps things looking exactly the same but it's harder for people to edit, which might be a double win.

Re: [libreoffice-users] installing issues fedora 14
Hi :) the official download place is here http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ I am not certain about the unsigned issue. There is a guide on how to install LibreOffice in Linux http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_LibreOffice_on_Linux Normally in linux when you want to install something you open the package manager, probably in the system or utilities sub-menu from where the Start button would be in Windows, or at the top of the screen vertically above it. The package manager should have a search tool to help you find programs. It searches in descriptions as well as titles so you don't need to know the proper names of things. It's usually best to search in there first when you want to look for packages, codecs, libraries, additional functionality, even entire programs. Your package manager usually finds the best version and looks in repositories which are like warehouses of software that has been tweaked to work better with Fedora. It sorts out installing and updating everything for you.

I will return to the problem when version 3.4.2 is launched (in july) 2011/7/28 Alexander Thurgood alex.thurg...@gmail.com Le 28/07/11 22:11, rogerio dandrea a écrit : Hi Rogerio, Sorry if this is a silly question but, how do I switch the focus from one form to another? I actually looked this up on the OpenOffice.org forum, but I can't find the link to the post anymore. There might also be a bug in LibreOffice that prevents the form from reloading. I seem to recall having seen something similar somewhere, because the filter.appply = true and form.reload used to work with OpenOffice.org.
