You might not need the java runtime at all. I have started unticking it on the various works machines to help LO start-up faster and had no problems so far. It's good to have the OpenSource version available as a fall-back in case you do need java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle. I think for most distros the package/add-on to allow documents to open in a web-browser is called mozilla-libreoffice and we would never guess it's different in Arch so it's good to have that included as standard. Both very small packages and including them neatly side-steps a range of potential troubles :) The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden. It doesn't really make all that much difference except that you have to remember it when typing out the pathname of course. Regards from Tom :) I know it only makes it hidden.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: merged cells in Writer (saved as Word 97/2000/xp/2003)
Hi :) The 3.3.x branch was said to have 1 years support. Keeping up with the very latest release is not feasable for a lot of people. In corporate settings you may want to have a test-sample of users using a new release before rolling it out to all the machines in a company. We have just seen someone that got a ton of hassle over a fairly trivial change. The testing and feedback process is usually a bit of a pain and quite time-consuming so it's not something people really want to go through all that often. Also low bandwith or capped downloads or even no access to internet makes it difficult to keep up. I really like it that people in rich corporate settings have the same problems as people in rural or desperately poor or 3rd world settings at least in this way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] (Writer) Numbering Problem - 'Restart at this paragraph'
Hi :) I don't know the answers to this so i would say just post a bug-report but hopefully someone that understands stylestemplates better than me (almost everyone) might have a good answer. The official documentation is at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ and also at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation and a guide on how to post a bug-report is http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport but you seem to already know all that. Note that if you post a bug-report and then later find it was something you were doing wrong then it's quite easy to close the bug-report.

I looked at Bugzilla and could not find anything, so either I found a new bug, or I'm not doing something right (not ruling that out!). In a Writer document A style has been created which on the 'Outline Numbering' tab, in the section 'Numbering', is set for 'Numbering 1'. Another style has been created which is linked to the style just mentioned, but on the 'Outline Numbering' tab, has 'Restart at this paragraph' selected and 'Start with' set to 1 (but I've also tried setting it to various random numbers). In this midst of a section all set to use the first style mentioned above, one paragraph has been set to use the second style -- but the numbering does not start over. The numbering continues in sequence. If, instead of applying a Style, I select 'Format' / 'Paragraph', and select 'Restart at this paragraph' and set the number to 1 (again, I've tried setting it to various random numbers), the numbering does not start over, same as when using a Style selection.

@NoOp I'm glad that my English is still understandable, because I've didn't practice it serious until high school :) Now on the subject. I've looked trough the reports and there are several almost identical, but only almost. The main differences are that all of them are abut different Operating systems and are stating that Libre office's writer is crashing after the process was started and the indicator bar freezes up in some point in time. In those bugs mentioned by you the problem seems to be related to the size of the files that are being converted but mine is only two pages, and In my case Libre office crashes almost immediately after hitting the export button without any warning, so my guess is that the problem is different. Maybe its because I'm using 32bit Libre office on a x64 Windows 7 Home premium or maybe it's something else actually I don't know. Unfortunately I cant reproduce the problem because I no longer have the 3.4 installed on my system.

Thanks for the remark about the save as/ export error, It's my mistake, but I'm so often using save as while I'm working so it the first thing that came to mind while I was trying to reproduce the issue. 2011/9/14 Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Hi :) Your English was fine. Lol. We don't normally Save As ... to pdf. Have you tried File - Export as Pdf Make sure the top option PDF/A-1a is UNticked as that has caused a few problems. By default it is usually unticked anyway so that should be fine. It shouldn't be crashing. If you are forced into using 3.3.4 then that should be fine because both the 3.3.x and 3.4.x series/branches are being developed alongside each other.

[libreoffice-users] docx format troubles
Hi, I made a translation of a docx file. Just copied and pasted 'special/without formatting' the translated text over each segment of the original text, in order to keep the initial formatting. The file format of the document was docx, and I never changed that -as far as I know at least, I'm aware that there are several versions of the docx format. When I send the translated document back to the person that asked me to translate it, he couldn't open it. According to the info in the Save dialog, the original document would be a 2007 XML docx file. According to Mac file info, it's an Office Open XML (I suppose that's the same). The document I sent back, has the same format. So what went wrong? In LibO, I can open de document without any problem. What can I do when this happens again? I sent another copy in good old doc format, but I suppose I should also recommend not using docx, and propose a download of LibO to solve such compatibility issues.

Although it might be Ubuntu 10.10 i forget which machine has what sometimes)). I made it as a tagged Pdf because apparently it makes it much more accessible for people with screen-readers and things. It does make it 25% larger in this case.

[libreoffice-users] Re: docx format troubles
Hi :) MS Office is temporarily having troubles with security issues. It might be that the person you are sending to has troubles with .docx, .doc and .rtfs from other people too. Apparently a patch was released by MS on Tuesady to fix the security issue but that patch might be causing this problem. On the other hand it could be a LibreOffice problem. The 3.4.x branch is often better at .docX format than the 3.3.x branch. A lot of programs have trouble with the .docX format so it's probably better to stick with the .doc format. The best answer is to give them the link to download LibreOffice so that they can use the much safer Odt format. MS Office can't read the newer Odt format that LibreOffice and most other programs use by default. People would download something to read a Pdf so why not for Odt? ;) I think people worry until they find they can keep MS Office as their default Office Suite but still have LO alongside it for the types of things that MS Office can't do so well (Draw, Math, Export to Pdf, not constantly running into security problems, etc). So, i would give them a .doc version, maybe a Pdf too and the download link so they can get LibreOffice.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice CALC bug: changing view of spreadsheet not considered a change.
LibreOffice (and it's predecessor OpenOffice) have a behaviour that is different to that of Microsoft Office: If you have a spreadsheet that you have made changes to and save you work (using SAVE) and then change your view by scrolling and/or changing the current cell, this is not considered by the product to be a change and the SAVE option remains grayed out. For me, the spreadsheet view is an important piece of information I want to save. I know that SAVE AS does enable to save by replacing the previously saved copy, but this is really only acceptable as a temporary workaround. Would you fix this behaviour.

[libreoffice-users] LibO Extensions Adventure Continues
Sometime ago, I wrote to this list when I was developing an Extension for automating some tasks for fellow lecturers using spreadsheets to compute School Results. I was advocating migration from MS-Office to LibO for my colleagues because they knew little about spreadsheets and were using mostly pirated software. The adventure, so far, has been intriguing and fraught with challenges. The solution was not new. I was porting something I did in 2006 from VBA to Python for LibO -- an opportunity to test my skills in python for real. The new one is better implemented. On Thursday,September 8, 2011, I formally presented the update to the Department of Architecture in Enugu State University, Nigeria. It was totally welcomed. That means LibO is staying as far as the department is concerned. I have Hanya to thank for this progress. Please see: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45t=43492 I aim to push LibO further than that. I'm being asked to document the Extension. To do that, I need to replace the generic icons I used in my demo/beta toolbar with something unique. The adventure is now on *phase two*. Questions: Why is LibO requiring magenta (0xFF00FF) to interpret transparency for toolbar icons? The wiki states that it (imageidentifier) is deprecated yet all attempts to use the 'images' configuration branch fail. With 'images' branch, transparencies in PNG are supported. Why can't I get this to work? Anybody interested in seeing a sample of my addon.xcu file??? Is there a way to ensure macro privacy/invisibility even for extensions installed by users (not administrators)?. This is one area VBA still beats LibO. In Excel the macros a wrapped up in the .XLS file and can be password protected (However, tools exist to extract the password ... hehehe). In libO, one only needs to know the installation paths to see everything. I am still activating a macro listener manually after loading the target document. Attempts to do this via events throw errors. The event is passing an argument I cannot decode yet. Yeah, I know ... someone needs to read the developers guide again. Any ideas are welcome though. Why does the toolbar icons show in Linux and disappear in LibO 3.4 (Windows). Is there something different in 3.4 specs? -- 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] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
Are you really stuck or just unwilling to explain to your clients that you are using LO and the benefits derived from using LO? The problem is not that we are unwilling to explain to our co-workers that we are using LO. We, as I suppose many others, are trying to introduce LO in our organization slowly, step by step. Maybe it will never happen that all users use LO, but I personally would be happy if even half of them do. So, this means that we need interoperability between the new LO users and the old MS users. For the sake of this interoperability we are choosing the MS formats. We also cannot use the ODF format unfortunately because our external corespondents use MS. You ask why we use LO then? Well, we have, of course, legal copies of M$ Office, but they tend to age if you don't pay for ever new versions. So, we want to use it for the simple reason of saving some money on MS licenses. As for legal implications of signing MS formats with LO, I agree with krackedpress that this should not be an issue, although I'm not 100% sure. I hope there will be some universal standard for some kind of file container in the future where you could embed the actual file and it's digital signature together, whether it be MS document, LO documents, or even PDF, JPG, PNG, MP3, AVI... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Digital-signing-MS-format-documents-tp3331970p3338940.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF
I was wondering if, until the issue is solved, would the person want to use a PDF printer to print to a PDF file. For Windows computers, I have used doPDF as the default printer so people could print out the web pages, emails, or office documents into a PDF document to save for later printing as needed. Right now with LO's issue for not working with the duplex options for my printer, this is the only way I can print on both sides of the paper. So, since the thread shows Win7 for the OS, I think the person should download this FREE PDF printer to use until the Export to PDF issue gets fixed. It is a solution, for now. To be honest, I run 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 64-bit and I have no problems with Export to PDF. But if that is an issue for 3.4.2, is it solved in 3.4.3? Or is it an issue that started in 3.4.2 and is in 3.4.3? Also, since there is bulgarian (cyrillic) involved, doPDF will embed the font into the document, any working font as far as my usage shows. Sometimes with LO, their exported PDF documents do not have the proper fonts, specialty fonts mostly, shown in their PDF files. I do [or did] a lot of documents that had decorative and specialty fonts on the page. My newsletters used a lot of them. I started using doPDF then, and CUPS-PDF for Linux now, for most of my PDF printing needs. I use LO's Export to PDF when I need to create landscape documents that are to be read, more than printing. CUPS-PDF shows the document as portrait with the text sideways so it will be landscape if printed. LO fixes that CUPS issue. doPDF [for Windows] does not have that issue either.

I was advocating migration from MS-Office to LibO for my colleagues because they knew little about spreadsheets and were using mostly pirated software. LO over pirated MSO, yes they need to get rid of the pirates. The adventure, so far, has been intriguing and fraught with challenges. The solution was not new. I was porting something I did in 2006 from VBA to Python for LibO -- an opportunity to test my skills in python for real. The new one is better implemented. On Thursday,September 8, 2011, I formally presented the update to the Department of Architecture in Enugu State University, Nigeria. It was totally welcomed. That means LibO is staying as far as the department is concerned. I have Hanya to thank for this progress. Please see: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45t=43492 I aim to push LibO further than that. I'm being asked to document the Extension. To do that, I need to replace the generic icons I used in my demo/beta toolbar with something unique. The adventure is now on *phase two*. Questions: Why is LibO requiring magenta (0xFF00FF) to interpret transparency for toolbar icons? The wiki states that it (imageidentifier) is deprecated yet all attempts to use the 'images' configuration branch fail. With 'images' branch, transparencies in PNG are supported. Why can't I get this to work? Anybody interested in seeing a sample of my addon.xcu file??? Is there a way to ensure macro privacy/invisibility even for extensions installed by users (not administrators)?. This is one area VBA still beats LibO. In Excel the macros a wrapped up in the .XLS file and can be password protected (However, tools exist to extract the password ... hehehe). In libO, one only needs to know the installation paths to see everything. IS the computers going to be attached to an in-house network/file-server? If so, is there a way to have the installation folder on a network drive with READ-ONLY unless you have the password to the folder? I know that you can edit some of the paths. OR, is there a way, with Windows systems, to password protect as READ-ONLY for a folder unless you sign in as an administrator? I know that you use to be able to HIDE files and folders by changing the attributes for them. If there hidden or read-only, then that could solve some problems here. I am still activating a macro listener manually after loading the target document. Attempts to do this via events throw errors. The event is passing an argument I cannot decode yet. Yeah, I know ... someone needs to read the developers guide again. Any ideas are welcome though. Why does the toolbar icons show in Linux and disappear in LibO 3.4 (Windows). Is there something different in 3.4 specs? I have seen, in the LO Extension test site that there are some listed with a versions for 3.3.x and 3.4.x, so it looks like there may be some specification changes. I know that LO is slowly removing JAVA from their code and replacing it with Python [I believe] so there may be some issues there, or not. -- 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] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
Thanks for the suggestion Tom, a colleague programmer of mine, already suggested a workaround until this issue is resolved in LO. There is a set of APIs in .NET that could be used to sign MS Format documents without the need to have MS Office installed. This is because MS formats use a standardized container defined by MS which handles the task of digital signing. And about digital signatures vs copyright, in simple terms, Probably you already know this, but for the sake of the discussion, digital signing is a process by which you can verify that a given document and it's current contents originates from a specific user and only from him and nobody else. This user is first correctly identified that he really is who he claims he is by a certification authority (CA) which gives him the certificate he can use to sign. The second part is verification. If I TRUST the CA that gave this user a certificate and if the signature is valid, I can be sure that the document originates from him and is not altered after signing or altogether created by a third untrusted party. As such, (i think) it is somewhat different from the CC license, or copyright in general.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: docx format troubles
I tell everyone that I deal with that MS does not support those x formats the same between their different version of Office. I know people who save their documents in .docx with Office 2010 and it does not work completely read by Office 2007. SO I tell them unless there is a dire need to save it in those x formats, use the ones that go from Office 97 through 2003. Myself, I dropped MSO at 2003, but I still have copies of MSO 2003, MSO XP, and if I can find where I put it I have MSO 97 as well. I dropped using MSO when I went to Ubuntu-Linux as my default desktop OS in Feb 2010. Dropped it from my laptops sometime after LO came out. I am setting up an old IBM server with my last copy of XP Home [32-bit] and I have placed MSO 2003 on it, but then installed LO 3.3.x with the MSO files defaulted to LO instead of MSO. The secretary [in training] may need to learn MSO, but she will have LO on it so she can do her typing with an easier to use package. So, promote the use of MSO files that are the legacy ones that can be used by Office 2003 or earlier. Try to get your people to stop using these flaky x formats. Personally I think MS wanted to have their own formats that was their response to the creation of the ODF office file formats. ODF became the International Standards Organization the standard for office file formats instead of MSO's x formats, and then MSO spread some money around and got ISO to state there are two standards [when they normally have only one standard for each product or system]. MSO then decided that, since they would not be in control of the open source part of the standard, they would not fully support their open x formats.

[libreoffice-users] Wrong decimal separator used in locales
Hello, I've noticed that Calc doesn't handle decimal numbers correctly when using any of the three locales for Switzerland (German, French, Italian). It ignores values that use a comma as decimal symbol. The convention in Switzerland is to use a point for currency values and a comma for everything else. My first guess was to look at the region settings in Windows 7. For some reason Windows 7 by default also assumes that a point is used in Switzerland for all numbers (not only currencies). I've changed the system wide setting and hoped that it would effect LibreOffice (3.3.4) as well, but LibreOffice seems to ignore the changes I made and still expects a decimal point for all values when using the locale German (Switzerland). Changing the setting for Decimal separator key in the language settings dialog for LibreOffice to Same as locale setting made no difference for me. Is there a way to fix this, besides using the locale of a different country?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems while trying to reinstall LO 3.4.3
Unfortunately, after deleting the C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\3\user the problem still exists. For some unknown reason, LO3.4.3 still thinks there is a version of the program still installed on my desktop - even though there isn't. I also noticed that apparently when I previously uninstalled LO3.4.3 - it did not do it properly since the program is still listed in my Control Panel. However, if I try to uninstall via the Control Panel, it tells me LibreOffice34.msi does not exist - therefore will not uninstall the program.

I tend to create a copy of the 3 folder to back-up the settings, galleries and extensions etc. Instead of re-installing i just rename the 3 folder so that LO is forced to generate a new one.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that did not help either.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
To find out what a LibreOffice digital signature is, do the following: Make a document in Writer. Any little document. Save it to disk (so the Save button is now grayed out). On the File | Document Signatures ... dialog, you now have an opportunity to sign the document with a cryptographically-secure digital signature that can be authenticated as being from you and can be used to verify that the document is as it was when signed. The user wants to know why that feature can't be used with LO-produced Microsoft Office documents (e.g., .doc and .docx). If you were to receive a document that is so signed, you will see an indicator in the bottom status bar of the Writer window that shows whether it is signed and whether or not there is any difficulty in verifying the signing or the signer. I assume that the users would also like to see that work when a signed Microsoft Office document is opened in LibreOffice as well. I believe what happens now is that any digital signature is simply ignored (fair enough), so it can't be used as a method of authenticating the document. - Dennis PS: I am digitally signing this e-mail by similar means.

Hi :) It might be worth trying to re-name your User Profile C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\3\user Perhaps navigate to the 3 fodler and rename that to 2011-09-15 so that it looks like C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\2011-09-15 This forces LibreOffice back to default settings by making it creates new 3 folder. All your dictionaries, extensions and stuff are kept in the back-up folder 2011-09-15.

[libreoffice-users] Wrong decimal separator used in locales
Hello, I've noticed that Calc doesn't handle decimal numbers correctly when using any of the three locales for Switzerland (German, French, Italian). It ignores values that use a comma as decimal symbol. The convention in Switzerland is to use a point for currency values and a comma for everything else. My first guess was to look at the region settings in Windows 7. For some reason Windows 7 by default also assumes that a point is used in Switzerland for all numbers (not only currencies). I've changed the system wide setting and hoped that it would effect LibreOffice (3.3.4) as well, but LibreOffice seems to ignore the changes I made and still expects a decimal point for all values when using the locale German (Switzerland). Changing the setting for Decimal separator key in the language settings dialog for LibreOffice to Same as locale setting made no difference for me. Is there a way to fix this, besides using the locale of a different country? Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Wrong-decimal-separator-used-in-locales-tp3339461p3339461.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

In the dashed line problem, it is easy to report two bugs, one for dashed lines to .doc and one for dashed lines from .doc.

So there is a bug around not being able to consume what it produces properly. THE SERIOUS INTEROP QUESTION The other problem, that I don't know how to deal with, is whether that is a proper .doc for what is in the .odt at all. I *think* the problem you are seeing is that the frame on one of the images in column 2 is actually too wide. Or maybe column 1, and it forced the kind of adjustment you are seeing. But the consequences in Word are particularly awful. What is even more amazing is that what Word does with that specific .doc has not changed since Office 97!! NoOp gets near-identical results from the .doc in Word 97 that I get from it in Word 2010. I bet if the second page is examined, the column 2 content will be seen to have flown down to the second column there. (The only difference that I see in Word 2010 compared with the Word 97 screen shot is that 2010 has a double title over the graph in column 3 and consequently more text flows to the top of column 4. I hadn't noticed that additional title doubling in my earlier report.) On the other hand, what Word 2010 does with the original ODT is strangely close to what it does with the .DOC, and that is *really* inexplicable. So there's not enough here for an isolated bug. MORE DETAIL: I forgot to check this before. When the .doc is opened in Word 2010, the columns are set as four across, with column 1 1.6, 2-3 at 1.25 apiece, and column 4 at 1.6. The spacing is 0.7. The equal column width box is not checked. The margins are 0.35 top, left, right, and bottom, with no gutter. The page is US Letter. If I check equal column width I get 1.43 columns all the way across and 0.7 spacing. The duplicated titles I mention disappear, but there are other duplications in the columns. (sigh) FURTHER ANALYSIS POSSIBILITIES Although it introduces more variables that can't be controlled, I think there are three avenues of further exploration: 1. Make a .doc that seems as correct as is possible. See what LibreOffice does with that. Then make an .odt from that .doc from Office 2010 to see how that round-tripping works. This might localize *something*. 2. Do the same thing with .docx in both directions. If experience is any guide, this will be worse, but because .docx is an XML format it might be possible to find more clues by inspecting the XML that travels in various directions. 3. Make a Microsoft Word XML file too. This is a rarely-used variation that *might* provide more clues. There are filters for reading those into LibreOffice also, although I have no clue concerning their quality. (This can be round-tripped out of LibreOffice too, I believe.) There is a project, Apache Poi, that has Java tools for manipulating and converting Microsoft Office format documents. That might help to examine the .doc files to see where the discrepancies arise. That's a lot of work to invest for this particular file. I think starting with variations of simple cases may work better. -Original Message- From: Spencer Graves [mailto:spencer.gra...@prodsyse.com] Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 17:29 To: dennis.hamil...@acm.org Cc: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Rountrip Conversion Problems (was Re: Should LibreOffice ... secret formats?)

Gary, I see word-wrap just fine on the web page you linked to. It appears that the list provided automatic word wrap. It won't reflow if I make the window narrower than where it did auto-breaking, so I couldn't read it comfortably with my phone's browser, unless the forced wrap is something like 30 characters (with landscape viewing). But the auto- breaking is there, with a line width of around 110 characters, it seems. I also see word-wrap just fine in the e-mail you sent to me. So the answer is yes, I would see it all just fine. The conflict is with clients that do know to word-wrap the text, which is kept in paragraph-level streams so the client can do correct word-wrap with whatever the displayed line size is. I know some list archives *prevent* work-wrapping by using pre instead of p elements when plaintext is presented via HTML. The GMANE page you linked to uses pre but then does automatic word wrap to keep line width at around 110 characters. Works fine on my monitor [;). When email is word-wrapped with hard line breaks, it is then ugly in situations when the client also does automatic word-wrapping. And when there are reply-nesting markers, it gets worse. Catch-22.

Although this is OT for this thread. One more thing. I don't read the list by opening all of the posts. I read the lists in my preview pane as I quickly scan the unread ones (chronologically). If there is a forced word-wrap, the rewrapping in the preview pane is rather, um, distracting, as it is on these manually hard-broken lines when I seem them on the list. Of course, rapid processing of the preview pane also favors top-posting. I guess there is tolerance or there isn't. - Dennis. -Original Message- From: Dennis E.

Much better - thanks. Any further responses will not be top posted. Clients typically are set to view to screen width (yours does). However as you can see, replying to such creates an issue; hence the issue of what you see below. Unwrapped posts places the onus on person replying to your posts to fix your 110 char format and rewrap to a common 72/80(max) character text format. I can do this in my client by Ctrl-R, however I shouldn't have to. You can easily see the difference with your current reply vs your other below. So, let's go back to top posting; were you to receive /only/ this email, would it make sense to you to read this first and then have to sort down through the rest to understand what we are currently talking about? Try it; print, set aside, and then start from the top. I realise that you may have issue with your Outlook client, but even with that it's not difficult to interleave/bottom post. Give it a try... If it doesn't work out for you then fine, but then print a list post that you last participated in, set aside for at least one day, read later, and consider what you'd prefer afterwards.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Rountrip Conversion Problems (was Re: Should LibreOffice ... secret formats?)
I knew from the top post in my preview pane that there was a question for me to answer. When I get a bottom posted, or worse, interspersed without stood-off comments, I have to hunt for them, even when it is a thread I am interested in. Because subject lines aren't always the truth, I look at the top of messages for clues but no further. I rarely open the full message except to see if there is something I want to reply to. So, I will rarely be bottom or mid-posting. I'm not changing that. Since you are using a newsreader (you referred me to a GMANE archive), why do you need it? Also, I didn't do the 110-column line breaks, the GMANE code that made the HTML did that. If all it takes is a Ctrl-R for you to see the text flow at your window width, why is this conversation necessary? - Dennis Aren't the two of us committing a greater sin by having this exchange under the wrong subject line?
