[libreoffice-users] cannot open rtf files

2011-10-28 Thread Uwe Koch Kronberg
Hi,

I'm on ubuntu 11.10, 64 bits and libreoffice ver 3.4.3, OOO340m1
(Build:302) .

I can not open the accompanied file, had to open it with abiword or
wordpad via wine.

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

  Yes, that is possible, but I need to highlight some separate words -
not the whole text in the textbox. For now I just create a colour
rectangle in a form of a word and then place it behind the text. In the
final document (which in my case is a PDF file) it is not noticeable,
but I consider it as a dirty workaround and would like to know how to
do it in a better way.

[libreoffice-users] Re: OO Base will not run in LO Base

2011-10-28 Thread Alexander Thurgood
Le 28/10/11 11:47, Ian Whitfield a écrit :

Ian,

As an aside, it would be helpful if you could post a new thread instead
of tagging onto an existing one. If the answers to your question run to
several lengths/respondents, the initial thread will become completely
unreadable, not to mention your own question. Anyway...

 
 I have a Database that I developed several years ago in OO. It runs well
 and is used every day. I currently run it in OO (3.2.1). When LO first
 came out I installed this on a second machine and tried to run my DB
 with it but with no luck. I have had a tries as new versions of LO
 became available but always no luck.
 

Can you be more precise as to tries ? I'm afraid that the information
you provide is insufficient to be able to hope to provide you with any
sort of answer.

Please specify :

OS : Linux Mint 10 KDE - OK

LibreOffice version : 3.3.4 ? OK, but distrib version, or downloaded
from LibreOffice web site and installed by hand ??

Java SDK/JRE versions installed : ???
Java SDK/JRE versions recognised by LibreOffice : ??


 My second machine recently started to give problems so I moved
 everything onto the main computer. I now have OO and LO (3.3.4) on the
 same machine. It still refuses to run my DB. So I have to have my DB
 open with OO and do my other work in LO. I have noticed a lot more
 crashes and freezes and other strange behavior since having everything
 on one machine. I read on the Forum just a day or so back that it is not
 recommended to run both programs at the same time which is no doubt the
 reason I'm seeing problems.

In my own personal experience, running both OOo and LibO at the same
time on the same OS has regularly led to freezes, crashes and erratic
behaviour (Mac OSX and Linux).


 
 When I open LO Base it opens and shows me all my tables and forms etc.
 But when I select 'Forms' to start the program LO just closes. It has
 done this since the beginning!! If I do the same steps in OO it works
 fine!!

Let's forget the Forms bit for the moment.

Can you see the list of, and access (read/write), your Tables ?

Can you see the list of, and access, your Queries ?


With regard to the form, try this :
1) Open your form in OOo 3.2.1, then Save as... to a location of your
choice. Close OOo completely (including any quickstarter/menu launcher
tool).

2) Open your newly saved form with LibreOffice.
In theory, the form will be detached from the database, so no data will
appear.

3) Switch to Form Edit mode and re-assign the DATA connection of your
form to the corresponding database table. Save, close and try to re-open.


4) If an attempt to open the independent form in LibreOffice fails with
a crash, then there is something in your form that LibreOffice doesn't
like in its current incarnation.

If you really want us to be able to help you with a hands-on approach,
it would be useful to have access to a copy of the database, maybe you
could make it available publicly somewhere ?

Alex

[libreoffice-users] External versus internal

2011-10-28 Thread Nuzhna Pomoshch
I am trying to compile libreoffice 3.4.3.2 from source.


./configure --help says:

--with-system-libs  Use libs already on system -- enables all
--with-system-* flags except mozilla and
odbc/sane/xrender-header(s).
--with-system-headers   Use headers already on system -- enables all
--with-system-* flags for external packages whose

  could anybody give me some idea about it?how to use it with libreoffice?

 In your command terminal run the commands:

 latex myfirstlatexfile.tex
 bibtex mybibliography.bib
 latex myfirstlatexfile.tex
 latex myfirstlatexfile.tex

 View the file with the command:

 xdvi myfirstlatexfile.dvi

 As an example (there are other possibilities depending on your LaTeX
 installation), convert to pdf:

 dvipdf myfirstlatexfile.dvi

 View file in pdf reader (evince or xpdf):

 evince myfirstlatexfile.pdf

 The example should demonstrate the power of LaTeX; beautiful pdf
 output, perfect rendering of maths, automatic formatting of text,
 excellent organisation of references.

 If you want a structured document containing references, maths and
 consistent formatting, use LaTeX. If you want to write a quick
 document without the need for maths or references, use a word
 processor such as LO. There is no _requirement_ to use LaTeX with LO.
 Personally, there does not seem to be a good reason to try and
 incorporate LaTeX code into LO, unless LO wants to become a user
 interface to LaTeX, like LyX.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OO Base will not run in LO Base

2011-10-28 Thread Don Myers

Hi,

I developed my database about 8 years. I moved the data over from 
Paradox. I was running Windows at the time. I moved to Ubuntu 2 1/2 
years ago, and ran OO until this past spring. When the first release of 
LibreOffice came out this past spring, I uninstalled completely open 
office and did a clean install of LibreOffice. I've never had any issues 
using my database. I would recommend doing a complete uninstall of both 
Open Office and LibreOffice, and then doing a fresh install of 
LibreOffice directly from the LibreOffice site.


Here are the instructions for the 32 bit version for Ubuntu. They should 
work fine with Mint.
Download LibreOffice to your desktop. Right click on the download and 
extract it to the desktop. Then run the following in the terminal:

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.4-debian-menus_3.4-302_all.deb


If you are running 64 bit, simply change the version information.

If the above doesn't work, maybe you could try creating a new form in 
LibreOffice and see if that works.

If this can not be done I will have to drop LO and stay with OO which 
I don't want to do.


My OpSys is Linux Mint 10 KDE.

Thanks Guys - I hope at least one of you can supply me with an answer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] External versus internal

2011-10-28 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
You might get better answers on the devs lists or iirc or whatever they use.  

It was a good idea to ask the users list first of course and there are some 
people here quite a lot that might be able to help but for most of us that is 
way over our head so our best option is to signpost you to where you might 
get more help for the specific problem.  

Most questions of this type that reach this list are from Bsd users and they 
seem to get the best reply from normal support for their specific distro.  On a 
brief glance through i noticed a few GnuLinuxy looking packages mentioned so 
are you trying to compile for a Gnome-based GnuLinux distro or a Bsd?  It 
might help the devs if you say which distro when you ask them.  

Have you tried running a pre-compiled version of LibreOffice first (assuming 
you're not on Bsd of course)?  Did that encounter errors or problems?  If it 
did run smoothly it would still be good to know what is blocking compiling from 
source as that should still give you a faster, tighter, better end-result.  

Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] can't print to pages on a single side of paper

2011-10-28 Thread Thomas Knierim
Hi everybody,

this is my first post in a mailing list - so please be patient.

I have a strange problem - and I have to admint: I don't know if it belongs to 
llibreoffice only. So here is the Problem:
I'm using a HP Officjet Pro k8600dn and I can't print to pages on a sheet of 
paper. If I start a print job the paper gets loaded and the printer hangs. I 
could only bring it back to live if I switch it off and on again. The problem 
does only appear if the printer language is set to PDF (the default) in 
LibreOffice. If I set it to PostScript (level of the driver) the printer works

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OO Base will not run in LO Base

2011-10-28 Thread Ian Whitfield

Thanks Alex.

First of all I THOUGHT I HAD created a new thread - I gave it a new 
Title - is that not enough??


Now to reply to your questions

   * When I first installed LO I had it on my second machine and I
 moved a copy of my DB to that machine to test it in LO. As I said
 it opens up and then just closes down when I select the Input Form.
   * OS is Linux Mint 10 KDE.
   *   LO Version is 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401), tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1.
   Downloaded from the LO site. (deb file).
   *   In an effort to improve the performance of OO Base I now run Sun
 Microsystems Java 1.6.0_21 which has resulted in better speed but
 in my opinion is still VERY slow!!
   * If I open the DB in LO I can SEE and EDIT my Tables, Queries and
 Reports. But if I do anything with Forms LO just closes!! (So I
 guess you are right in pointing at Forms)
   * I was able to save a copy of my Form in OO,  (the program selected
 .odt as the format), but when I try to open this with LO Writer LO
 again just closes!!

So does this mean I must re-create my Form in LO? Then I wonder how to 
link it to my Tables??


I would be happy to put my DB up for examination but I am _VERY_ 
protective of the contents as it is all personal information of the 
Members in my Group and I don't want that getting into the 'wrong' 
hands!! Any suggestion??


--

Don - Thanks you for your reply - I will 'work through' the above with 
Alex first and if that fails I will follow your suggestion!!


THANKS Guys - I appreciate!!!

Re: [libreoffice-users] can't print to pages on a single side of paper

2011-10-28 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions


I do not know about why PDF is set as the default for that printer.  I 
never saw an HP printer use PDF as a default language for the printer.


Did you download and install the HP drivers for Linux?  Here is the link 
to the site.

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html

I have two HP printers.  Color Laserjet 2600n and PSC1410.  I needed 
these updated drivers to make the printers work the best for Ubuntu 
Linux.  When you run the file in the Terminal [instructions are given on 
the site], it should ask about which OS and printer you have, before you 
download the needed file.  Then when you run the script, it will 
download everything that is needed and install the needed packages for you.


This may help, if you did not install the drivers.  I found that the 
drivers included with Ubuntu 10.04 was not as good as the most 
up-to-date ones from that site.


The system shows the OS for SUSE 11.3 and 11.4, and you will have to 
page down the printer list a long way to get to your printer, after you 
select OfficeJet Pro as the type of printer.  I do not see ArchLinux, 
but you should be able to use the driver from the parent OS like Debian, 
Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, etc., whatever it is.  It shows the same version 
for the package as you listed, but so did Ubuntu, but for some reason 
when I installed the version from this site, it seemed to work better.  
Actually, I just realized that I am running an older version than is 
online, so I will be upgrading it myself.


IF you still have the problems, make sure you use the non-PDF language 
for your default printer language.  HP's language or Postscript language 
is preferred.


As for CUPS, did you install CUPS-PDF from your package manager?  That 
is my default way to print out PDF files, even from LibreOffice [most of 
the time].


As for the 2 pages per sheet, the orientation for the sheet should be 
landscape.  If it is otherwise, then there is a problem.

[libreoffice-users] A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration.

2011-10-28 Thread Dag Wieers

Hi,

When trying to run LibreOffice 3.3 on a system that also has LibreOffice 
3.4 installed, I get a pop-up window saying:


LibreOffice 3.3 - Fatal Error

The application cannot be started.
A general error occurred while
accessing your central configuration.

I assume this is because LibreOffice 3.4 changed the configuration at some 
point that is incompatible for LibreOffice 3.3. I have multiple 
installations for testing purposes.


What is the advised solution for running in such a situation ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] can't print to pages on a single side of paper

2011-10-28 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
In Windows the layout and tabs are all different for different machines.  To 
some extent GnuLinux drivers cover a wider range of machines and anyway the 
different ones make some effort to be consistent with each other.  In Windows 
each printer tries to look more modern and fancy than other printers and 
manufacturers supply their own dialogue boxes for the different machines.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OO Base will not run in LO Base

2011-10-28 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Don't worry about such mistakes.  Just try to get it right next time.

We 'should' be more understanding of new people as most of us made mistakes 
when first using this style of thing.  Most forums and such have their own 
quirks even tho they try to be fairly consistent with each other.  

I think we try to just politely point out things that have gone wrong without 
really meaning it to be a criticism.  It doesn't always sound that way though!  
These lists have people from all around the world and from many different 
sub-cultures within the range of countries so misunderstandings are highly 
likely.  Of course some people are just plain rude and make the rest of us 
cringe so it's difficult to know a person's intention.  Some people just have 
bad hair days or over-react to an often-repeated problem in a blame the 
user way rather than trying to see how the system could be changed to make it 
easier for new people that may not have decades of experience with newsgroups.  
In some sub-cultures people are only polite to non-friends.  Someone has a 
signature something like Only friends argue.  Other people just don't care. 
although the person with that signature is then just openly helpful and kind lol

I haven't yet got to the email that caused offence but if it was from Alex then 
i seriously doubt he intended to be anything less than helpful and kind.

Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Combining Two Columns In-Place

2011-10-28 Thread Rich Shepard

  In an Excel spreadsheet saved in .ods format are column pairs representing
data that can be combined into a single column because rows have a value in
one column or the other, but never both.

  In Xess I was able to put the cursor in a cell (e.g., N2) and enter the 
formula
'+n2+o2' and have the sum of the two columns in N2. LO doesn't like this. It
told me to turn on iteration (error 522), but that just moved the error to
523.

  Can I do this in LO? Or, do I need to create a new column and populate
that before removing the original two columns?

Thanks,

Rich

Hi :)
Once you have selected the words can you right-click and see what options you 
have in there for formatting text?  I haven't tried it but often when programs 
don't let you access their formatting tool-bars you can still use a right-click 
menu (or keyboard short-cuts such as Ctrl B to make things bold)

No problem. Opens OK. What do you want to know about the contents?

The root directory has a file ([Content_Types].xml) and three
subdirectories --[_rels], [docProps] and [word]

Tom Davies has written on 10/28/2011 2:15 PM:
 Hi :)
 Ok, this is going to sound mad.  Can you create a copy of the file and rename 
 the copy so that it's file-ending is .zip instead of .docx?  Does that open 
 as a normal zip file?

 Sometimes the contents help us see what is going wrong.  I use that sort of 
 thing to see which particular picture or logo is causing a document to be 
 excessively heavy.  

 It wont work for the older doc format but does work for docX and odt.

Re: [libreoffice-users] cannot open rtf files

 Strange, I'm on 11.10, not 11.04. I tried to open the file, both, on a

Yes, it is. Probably the same crash as in this bugreport :

[libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open

2011-10-28 Thread Pete Holsberg
Hi,

I created a file with the Android app Office Suite Pro and I cannot
open it with Libre Writer.

It pops up a filter menu with types of files in randow order (can I
file a bug report or a fix request on that?) and none of them are
Windows Office 2010 docx file.

FWIW, the first 10 bytes of the file are the same as other docx files
that LO is able to open.

Any ideas (other than asking on an Office Suite mailing list)?

Thanks.

[libreoffice-users] How may I read the value of a cell into a macro variable?

2011-10-28 Thread David S. Crampton

This question has two parts: simple and more complex:

simple: I wish to read the value of the currently selected cell (in Calc,  
of course) into a variable in the macro language (Libre Basic).  Script  
example please. and thank you!


more complex: AFAIK the LibreHelp does not document the stuff like:

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:GoToCell, , 0, args2())

I used to be pretty skilled at recording macros and then modifying them.  
Where do I go to find things related to uno:GoToCell?  Universal Network  
Objects?  Can't find the starting point.


Thank you for an orientation,

Re: [libreoffice-users] can't print to pages on a single side of paper

2011-10-28 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions


Sorry, I just say the Device option tap showing PDF as the default.  I 
do not know what PDF means in this context, since my printers may have 
that as a printer language type, as far as I remember.  My HP Inkjet is 
not a postscript printer, but my Color Laser might be able to deal with 
that.  I did not see Postscript as an option for the Epson inkjet.  I 
sure did not read it having a PDF language option.  So something is not 
right.  Could PDF here mean Printer Defined Format for the language used?


Can the Postscript type level from driver be kept as the default 
option somehow?  Maybe the Printer Administration shown was a module 
of LO 3.4 [at least with Ubuntu]?  I believe that module of LO was 
designed to set up the printers to run properly with LO.

CUPS-PDF - no package for OpenSUSE?   I wondered what OpenSUSE uses as a 
replacement package, so I looked it up on the site.


On the opensuse.org site, 12.1 is in RC till November 16th.  I searched 
the packages and there are 3 rpm package files [depending on the 
computer] for cups-pdf-2.5.1-1.1


If I read the site correctly, 12.1 is the opensuse/factory development 
version since it still is in development till November 16th.  So the 
search for the cups pdf package in that and the other version come up 
with a .rpm file to download and install it.  So it should be in the 
OpenSUSE version of a repository.


http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=cups+pdfbaseproject=openSUSE%3AFactorylang=enexclude_debug=true
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=cups+pdfbaseproject=openSUSE%3AFactorylang=enexclude_debug=true
I wonder why it was not part of the ISO that you downloaded to install 
OpenSUSE?


Actually I had trouble with OpenSUSE, the one time I tried using it.  I 
have an IBM server that originally had SUSE installed on it, so the icon 
tag showed.  But I bought it with the OS, and everything else, wiped off 
the 3 SCSI drives that 2002 era P-4 IBM server had.  So I downloaded 
OpenSUSE [3 or 4 years ago] and tried to install it, but it would not 
install.  So I ended using an old copy of Win2000/pro till I ended up 
putting Ubuntu on it 2 years ago.  So I never had any luck with 
OpenSUSE.  If they do not include, in their ISOs, something as simple as 
the PDF package that is part of the CUPS printer environment, I do not 
know what to think.  My Epson printer uses a driver that uses CUPS as 
its backend so I can print using Linux computers.


Do not get me wrong, OpenSUSE might be a great Linux OS, since 
businesses are what it tends to be what it is marketed towards, but I 
just had one bad experience and did not look back.  I use Ubuntu, and 
other people tell me to try such-n-such Linux distro since they think 
it is the best you can get.  We have one person on this board that is 
involved in developing the  Mandriva, which was Mandrake.  I was taught 
Linux using Mandrake 7.x, back 10 to 11 years ago [if I remember 
correctly, and I still have a CD of it].  That one is in the top 10 of 
the list of distros I came across on a distro watch site.  OpenSUSE is 
on that list as well.  Arch Linux is considered an advanced user distro 
while OpenSUSE is a middle-of-the-road one. Their terms, not mine.  
But we each have our favorite ones.  I have mine and you have yours.  
That it what it should be.

The Printer Language is set by LibreOffice. If you open the print dialog, klick

Did you download and install the HP drivers for Linux?  Here is the link to the 
site.

Yes I have the newest Version installed. The most recent version is 3.11.10...


I have two HP printers.  Color Laserjet 2600n and PSC1410.  I needed these 
updated drivers to make the printers work the best for Ubuntu Linux.  When you 
run the file in the Terminal [instructions are given on the site], it should 
ask about which OS and printer you have, before you download the needed file.  
Then when you run the script, it will download everything that is needed and 
install the needed packages for you.

This may help, if you did not install the drivers.  I found that the drivers 
included with Ubuntu 10.04 was not as good as the most up-to-date ones from 
that site.

The system shows the OS for SUSE 11.3 and 11.4, and you will have to page down 
the printer list a long way to get to your printer, after you select

I'm always puzzled by this sort of claim.  The

Perhaps you think that confidentiality is

too.  Suppose that I ask you for the information; 
following this argument, you would be justified 
in passing it on to me, provided I promised also 
to keep it confidential - presumably meaning that 
I would not pass it further.  But there is 
nothing to stop me then making use of the same

where the argument is leading?  By this theory, 
it is perfectly permissible for everybody on the

When I offer someone information in confidence, I

A common technique for testing data structures is to populate the data  
with lorem ipsum text.


See: www.lipsum.com.

You obtain the text, parse it and de-duplicate as necessary. Load it into

There are many advantages to this technique. In this case the db could be

information presumably expect that it will remain confidential: that is,  
not be distributed beyond the audience they anticipated when they  
provided the information.  If it gets to you, that expectation - that  
confidence - has already been betrayed.  It doesn't matter what you  
promise to do or not to do with the information: if you have it, it is  
no longer confidential.


Perhaps you think that confidentiality is respected if you undertake not  
to pass the information on to others.  But that idea fails too.  Suppose  
that I ask you for the information; following this argument, you would  
be justified in passing it on to me, provided I promised also to keep it  
confidential - presumably meaning that I would not pass it further.  But  
there is nothing to stop me then making use of the same exception that  
you have applied.  Do you see where the argument is leading?  By this  
theory, it is perfectly permissible for everybody on the planet to see  
the information, provided they all undertake to keep the information  
confidential - with this new, looser, useless meaning.


When I offer someone information in confidence, I expect that it will go  
no further - not even to the recipient's lawyer, let alone someone  
else's.  But you are by no means alone: many people think they can  
betray any secret as long as they are assured that the next person will  
behave the same way, receiving the same empty assurance.

[libreoffice-users] LO3.4.3 hangs on several occasions

2011-10-28 Thread peabrain
LibreOffice 3.4.3 running on Arch Linux hangs for extended periods whenever
certain things are done. For example, with a blank new document, the
following actions result in a hangup:

- trying to open the font window
- moving between the tabs in the paragraph window
- opening settings and moving between sections
- trying to load an odt document which Abiword opens just fine

The hangup can last for minutes, but resolves eventually.

I have disabled Java in LibreOffice and I have deleted my user profile. No
help whatsoever.

When I open LibreOffice and right-click on a new document, then try to open
the dialogue window for changing fonts, LibreOffice hangs and strace gives
something like this:

5289  05:31:56.241336 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:56.241414 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0 (Timeout)
5289  05:31:57.242597 gettimeofday({1319855517, 242643}, NULL) = 0
5289  05:31:57.242758 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1
([{fd=24, revents=POLLOUT}])
5289  05:31:57.242945 writev(24, [{\27\0\2\0\350\1\0\0, 8}, {NULL, 0},
{, 0}], 3) = 8
5289  05:31:57.243128 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=24,
revents=POLLIN}])
5289  05:31:57.243321 read(24,
\1\0\224\0\0\0\0\0\36\1@\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0, 4096)
= 32
5289  05:31:57.243518 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:57.243680 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:57.243843 futex(0x9794090, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL


After a few minutes the program starts to respond again, but may very well
hang again if I try to change something else, like paragraph settings.

This is really frustrating, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Any
ideas?

By the way, I can't remember what version of LibreOffice I was running
before 3.4.3, but this problem is quite new nevertheless. I've been using
LibreOffice for months.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OO Base will not run in LO Base

2011-10-28 Thread jorge
Hi

If not other thing run, try to do this:

1) With Calc Ooo-Base, use Browser and select one by one all the tables
from the Ooo-Base db file.

2) Save the file as .ods
3) Then, in Lo-Base, connect (Browser-spreedshet) from .ods (I think
you can recover the tables.

At least you can recover the tables but you have to do again forms,
etc.

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez

 Hi All
 
 I have written in on this subject before but got no 'real' answers and 
 it is now becoming urgent!!
 
 I have a Database that I developed several years ago in OO. It runs well 
 and is used every day. I currently run it in OO (3.2.1). When LO first 
 came out I installed this on a second machine and tried to run my DB 
 with it but with no luck. I have had a tries as new versions of LO 
 became available but always no luck.
 
 My second machine recently started to give problems so I moved 
 everything onto the main computer. I now have OO and LO (3.3.4) on the 
 same machine. It still refuses to run my DB. So I have to have my DB 
 open with OO and do my other work in LO. I have noticed a lot more 
 crashes and freezes and other strange behavior since having everything 
 on one machine. I read on the Forum just a day or so back that it is not 
 recommended to run both programs at the same time which is no doubt the 
 reason I'm seeing problems.
 
 When I open LO Base it opens and shows me all my tables and forms etc. 
 But when I select 'Forms' to start the program LO just closes. It has 
 done this since the beginning!! If I do the same steps in OO it works fine!!
 
 How can I transfer my DB to LO or what steps must I take to convert it 
 to LO format!!??? As I said this has now become a priority for me. If 
 this can not be done I will have to drop LO and stay with OO which I 
 don't want to do.
 
 My OpSys is Linux Mint 10 KDE.
 
 Thanks Guys - I hope at least one of you can supply me with an answer.
