[libreoffice-users] Something is Missing in Calc
There is this cool cell background shading in Microsoft Excel that I can't find in LibreOffice Calc. That feature is an *ink-saver!* Calc's cell backgrounds are just colours and that's it. There are no hatches and if one wanted to indicate a blanked cell (by conditional formatting) he/she has to make due with colours rather than line-stroke hatches. A greyed cell uses more ink. I can mimick this feature with cross-out borders ... but that's borders and that's crude and nothing like hatches. Does anyone understand what I'm trying to describe here? Is this a known issue?

[libreoffice-users] Re: libreoffice will not start
Hi :) Well found! Sorry no-one was able to answer your question fast enough! lol The .libreoffice folder is your user-profile and contains configurations, settings, galleries, extensions and loads of other things. If something goes wrong with LibreOffice there is a good chance of fixing it just by renaming or deleting it. Inside is a sub-folder called 3 (because we are on versions 3.3.x or 3.4.x). I try to rename or copy that one in order to keep a copy floating around as back-up or to revert to. The .libreoffice folder has probably reappeared but now with back to the factory defaults settings instead of whatever had happened during install and later.

Hi :) It is possible to open a .odt or .docX file as though it was a .Zip. I tend to find that is the easiest way of finding out which pictures and things are heavy and which are tolerable. Often it's fairly easy to use Gimp or Draw to change formats to png or gif and then resize to something more appropriate for the size of the document (A4 or whatever). I think you have to open the file as a normal document to replace the pictures.

RE: [libreoffice-users] The guts of ODF files
Short Answer: DOCX files are not in ODF format. Longer Answer: 1. There is such information in the ODF 1.2 Specification Parts 1 and 3. However, it will not help with correctly recognizing a DOCX file in LO or OOo. There is a separate International Standard on the OOXML format used by DOCX and how Zip is used as part of that. 2. (Note, some DOCX files are encrypted OOXML documents, and that is actually a different format described in a different specification, even though the file will still have the .docx extension ending its name.) 3. There is some indication that mobile applications are not necessarily producing the DOCX that LO/OOo is expecting. It may be non-standard. Whatever it is, MS Office is forgiving about it. - Dennis E.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Embed OLE draw in writer
Hi Marcus, Marcus Moeller schrieb: Hi all, I am trying to embedd an Draw page into a Writer document, using OLE. Is it really necessary? The problem is that the page is not inserted in the original size/zoom factor, but about 50%. Do you insert from file or do you generate a new OLE, which has no file? Compare the page size of the Draw document with the text area width in Writer and add margins, that are needed for rulers and scrollbars. Does the Draw source document has enough place in the Writer target document? Is the OLE anchored to paragraph with follow text flow? Than it is restricted to the page text area. I have also tried to set the zoom factor in Edit mode (embedded Draw), but the function is disabled there. Zooming is done with the object mode (green handles).

Re: [libreoffice-users] The guts of ODF files
Dennis E. Hamilton has written on 11/2/2011 1:01 PM: Short Answer: DOCX files are not in ODF format. Longer Answer: 1. There is such information in the ODF 1.2 Specification Parts 1 and 3. However, it will not help with correctly recognizing a DOCX file in LO or OOo. There is a separate International Standard on the OOXML format used by DOCX and how Zip is used as part of that. Oops! 2. (Note, some DOCX files are encrypted OOXML documents, and that is actually a different format described in a different specification, even though the file will still have the .docx extension ending its name.) 3. There is some indication that mobile applications are not necessarily producing the DOCX that LO/OOo is expecting. It may be non-standard. Whatever it is, MS Office is forgiving about it.

RE: [libreoffice-users] The guts of ODF files
Hi Pete, The Zip-related message may be a warning, not a fatality. It also may be related to up-/down-level compatibility among the PKWare Zip specifications. When I use WinZip 9.0 SR-1, there are no problems reported. I haven't checked the files against the PKWare APPNOTE 6.2.0 to see if there is an issue at that level. With regard to IS 29500-1:2008 section 15.2.12.1, I am looking at the specification and it definitely has opendocument/2006/relationships/... in the URL where the files that fail validation have package/2006/relationships/ I checked for recent corrections and amendments. Looking at IS 29500-1:2011 that (well, ECMA-376 ed.3, which is free and already available), there is no change from IS 29500-1:2008. I also went all the way back to ECMA-376 ed.1 of December 2006. There has never been any different definition than what the IS 29500 editions say. I also checked iS 29500-4:2011 on Transitional Migration Features to see if there is a different case for this relationship. What is strange is that 15.2.12.1 is listed as having a difference, but the Source Relationship value given is no different than the value in 29500-1:2011. (There may be a difference and I am blind to it somehow. Time to see the opthomalogist.) The validator message appears to be completely correct but LO does not fail when that is the only flaw. LO accepts the apparently-incorrect .docx from Word 2010. It apparently fails on the Zip itself, not the .rels file inside the Zip. It seems this defect was not noticed and the problem appears to be with Microsoft Office too. Everyone seems to tolerate it. Maybe because I have not found all of the right places, maybe because of a desire to be compatible with what Office actually does. I can't tell. It is clear that the problem for LO is the discrepancy in the Zip though. When that is removed, LO opens the file just fine. Yuck. Thanks for tracking down the apparent discrepancy. - Dennis E.

Hamilton has written on 11/2/2011 1:01 PM: Short Answer: DOCX files are not in ODF format. Longer Answer: 1. There is such information in the ODF 1.2 Specification Parts 1 and 3. However, it will not help with correctly recognizing a DOCX file in LO or OOo. There is a separate International Standard on the OOXML format used by DOCX and how Zip is used as part of that. Oops! 2. (Note, some DOCX files are encrypted OOXML documents, and that is actually a different format described in a different specification, even though the file will still have the .docx extension ending its name.) 3. There is some indication that mobile applications are not necessarily producing the DOCX that LO/OOo is expecting. It may be non-standard. Whatever it is, MS Office is forgiving about it. I found an on-line validator at http://www.document-interoperability.com/validator When I fed it the original OfficeSuite-created file, it said, Inspecting ZIP ... Mismatch between local header and central record (weakened ZIP resilience) Checking OPC Package ... Entry with MIME type application/vnd.openxmlformats-package.core-properties+xml has unrecognized relationship type http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships/metadata/core-properties; (see ISO/IEC 29500-1:2008, Clause 15.2.12.1) 1 problem found with OPC package The one which resulted when I opened the original in 2010 Office and did a Save As gave this: Checking OPC Package ...

The one that was created with Libre Office as a brand new file had the same message as the one created with the Android app -- 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 -- 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
