Hi :)
Have you tried re-naming your user-profile? It's location is slightly
different depending on what platform you are using. So the question is
which Operating System are you using? For example in Ubuntu or other
GnuLinux it is placed

/home/username/.libreoffice/user/3

I tend to re-name the 3 folder to make it reverse date format so i can
work out which back-ups are the most recent. Errr, for example 'today' i
would make it

/home/username/.libreoffice/user/2011-11-10

Then when you open LibreOffice it should create a new 3 one full of the
factory default settings. You can then copypaste folders from the older
one to the new one to regain extensions, libraries, galleries, templates,
settings etc. If/when LibreOffice fails to start again you have a clearer
idea of which extension/add-on, sub-folder or file broke it and then just
delete that one to fix LO again. Tbh i just stay with the fresh new one and
forget about all the old galleries and stuff.

So, the question is which Operating System are you using? n WIndows, Mac,
GnuLinux (Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora, Redhat or whatever one) or Bsd?

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Steven,

Anyway the bottom line is I am pleased. I
have moved MS Office off my laptop to the computer downstairs at home and
am running Libre Office on my laptop. I'm liking it.


Thanks for sharing your experience :-)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Howto find all macros in a document and delete or deactivate them?

Hi :)
With any GnuLinux it is easy to install a virtual machine and open the
document in there. If anything goes horribly wrong you can just delete the
VM. Alternatively use a spare partition, or create one and install a basic
OS to there instead of to a VM. Similarly if there is a problem then you
always have the nuclear option of deleting the partition.

One way to get rid of macros is save in another format such as Odt or Rtf
but that may change the layout of the document.

If you do trust the person that sent you the document then perhaps just scan
it with an antivirus such as ClamAv and then open it to see what it does.

Most malware infested documents are aimed at MS Office on Windows so
LibreOffice on GnuLinux is likely to be much safer even ignoring the fact
that you open the document as a normal user rather than an Admin/SuperUser
so it's much more difficult for malware even if LO and GnuLinux was the
intended target. If the document ask you to key-in your super-secret
SuperUser password then just cancel that but it's incredibly unlikely to try
elevating privileges on your system if you are using GnuLinux.
Regards from
Tom :)

 Hi Hans,

 I'm looking for a way to find every macro that is attached to a
 document and
 delete or respectively deactivate them. How do I do that?

 With a script would probably be the easisest way, by unzipping the OD*
 files and parsing the unzipped contents to seach for the Basic
 directory, deleting it, then rezipping the file ?
 Hi Alex,

 I was thinking it took a bit more then that and so I just tried it and
 yes.

 You need to make three changes.

 After unzipping the file you remove two directories:
 = Basic
 = Dialogs

 Then you need to edit the file manifest.xml in the META-INF directory.
 - remove all lines that reference basic or dialog.
 [They look something like]
 manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=text/xml
 manifest:full-path=Basic/Standard/script-lb.xml/

 Then you re-zip and voila it works.

 If you leave out the last step the file will not open.

 HTH somehow,

 //drew


 Drew's method will work just fine if what you mean to do is to remove
 all macros contained in a document (as opposed to removing all
 references to macros from inside the document; in a button or an
 associated event, for example).

 See if you can make the document current and run this macro

 Sub RemoveAllContainedLibs
     Dim sNames
     Dim oLibs
     Dim i%

     oLibs = ThisComponent.BasicLibraries
     sNames = oLibs.getElementNames()
     For i = UBound(sNames) To LBound(sNames) Step -1
       oLibs.removeLibrary(sNames(i))
     Next
     oLibs = ThisComponent.DialogLibraries
     sNames = oLibs.getElementNames()
     For i = UBound(sNames) To LBound(sNames) Step -1
       oLibs.removeLibrary(sNames(i))
     Next
 End Sub

 Hi Andrew,

 Excellent - the only problem is, and it aint yours per so, is removing
 libraries from a document - at least with LibO 3.4.4 as that is what I
 tried it on - does not set the dirty flag for the documnet. So if you
 run the macro and close the document the change isn't saved...arrrgh.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I considered changing the macro to set the 
document dirty (I think that I can do that), but, decided it was not 
worth the trouble to look up how to do it

I upgraded to Fedora 16, installed LO 3.4.3, and then the next day they 
release 3.4.4 sigh. So that is the same version that I tested with 
as well.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)

Hi :)
I think just post a normal bug-report but in the subject-line add
[wish-list] or [feature request] just to make it clear.  

I find LO works very much better if the document and the pictures are all
stored on the same volume/partition on my local machine.  I have tried
ramping the memory settings up but it still doesn't work as smoothly as when
all the stuff is together.  Also there is a noticeable difference for me
when i use one of the nicer machines at work rather than the ancient
antiques.  On one of the antiques i kept getting a broken links or
picture is broken and can't be displayed or something like that.  On the
newer machines there was no problem.  Hmmm, i haven't tried messing with the
memory settings on the antiques tbh.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LO 3.4.3 Writer cannot handle RTF document

Hi :)
It is great when it does work and yes it's really good to be able to be
highly responsive and adaptable to clients.  It's certainly something that
LibreOffice strives for and that is one of the reasons i enjoy using it so
much.

When it doesn't work, even slightly it's all the more annoying because it's
so close and some of the issues that block it from being perfect are outside
of our control.  MS tries to stack things in it's own favour (obviously) and
who wouldn't when profit is the main reason for producing anything?

Re: [libreoffice-users] 98, 000+ word list British dictionary, hyphen, thesaurus dictionary

Hi :)
On the types of machines you sometimes use a performance hit would be very 
noticeable.  So, if there is no hit then the longer lists make a lot of sense.  
The 102k difference is surely not a huge worry to anyone these days?  I had 
assumed that with a list twice as long the spell check might take about twice 
as long too.  It's good to hear i was so wrong :)

Many thanks for your hard work at all of this.  I'm sure a lot of people

I have not seen any performance hits with my use of either the 98K or the 
217K word list dictionaries.  The actual time would difference would be really 
small.  I have not tried using a 390K or 638K word lists though.  For a real

difference for spell checker lookup.

I do not know what type of searches are used in LO to search the word lists for 
the word lookup, but for the old 80286 systems that I use to do this type of 
programming with  these 50K vs 638K list searches would take about a 1/10 of a 
second difference for the same 100,000 word document.  This was what I 
generally got for my word list searches back in the 80's with the programming 
samples I wrote.  The professor wanted a timer included in the search software 
so he could see how efficient your code was.  College is where I got interested 
in dictionary and word list searches and functions for spell checking.  To 
re-learn C++ after my second stroke, I write a program to create word lists 
from e-book text and compare them with the current lists to see what new words 
I could find.

The fact the the original .dic files had control codes after each word requires 
the system to do the work to do the conversions and then use those options in 
its searching.  So having lists that do not need those control codes may make 
spelling searched faster.

Possibly it is good that you see the results first. Then, if you are 
interested, then you can read about how to generate the results.

On a command line, you will type the following:

    python3.2 find_nonshared_words.py

(You can also type python2.7 instead of python3.2. But realize that Python 
3.2 is not always backwards-compatible with Python 2.7.)

This command will generate the following output file:

output_file.txt:
a1
a2
a3
a4
a5
a6
b1
b2
b3
b4

Below, I show you how to create the results:

Create the following two input files. (Words starting with a appear in only 
file 1. Words starting with b appear in only file 2. Words starting with c 
appear in both files, and should be ignored by the code.)

input_file1.txt:
a1
a2
c1
a3
a4
c2
a5
c3
a6

input_file2.txt:
c1
b1
b2
b3
c2
c3
b4

Then create a file called find_nonshared_words.py:

def create_set_from_file(input_file_name):

    input_file = open(input_file_name)

    s = set()
    for line in input_file:
        # Delete any leading or trailing whitespace.
        s.add(line.strip())

    input_file.close()

    return s

set1 = create_set_from_file(input_file1.txt)
set2 = create_set_from_file(input_file2.txt)
set_of_words_in_exactly_one_file = set1.symmetric_difference(set2)

output_file_name = output_file.txt
output_file = open(output_file_name, w+)
for word in sorted(set_of_words_in_exactly_one_file):
    output_file.write(word + \n)

output_file.close()

Re: [libreoffice-users] 98, 000+ word list British dictionary, hyphen, thesaurus dictionary



Well, I am now waiting on the approval of the set of dictionaries on the 
LO Extension Center.


I made on listing with 11 externally hosted files to choose from.

 word list 
sizes

American English98,000+217,000+390,000+638,000+
British English 98,000+217,000+390,000+638,000+
Canadian English 217,000+390,000+638,000+

Hopefully there will be an approval soon.

Now I can go and start working on some other things on my to-do list, 
like rebuild an old IBM Server, repair a Compaq Presario, find a 
inexpensive desktop and monitor for a friend 4 floor below me, etc., 
etc..  Plus I have several books to read, or finish reading, in the next 
few weeks [1000+/- pages each].  Just this morning, I added taking 
photos for a collage to the list of things needed to be done this 
month.  Who said retired life was going to be a life of rest and

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice first execution

Hi :)
Usually LibreOffice will create a new fresh user profile when it finds there is 
not one already there.  I am not sure why that is not happening on your 
system.  

Which operating system?  Windows (Xp, Vista, Win7), GnuLinux, Mac or a Bsd?  
Also which language/country?  Some countries have better 'local' teams than 
others.
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Draw Paste Option Dissappears

Hi :)
Sorry no-one has helped so far.  Please post a bug-report about this issue. 
Ideally it would be great to search for an existing bug-report and add a
comment but if there is not one against LibreOffice then a new report would
be great. 

Apols, thanks and regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Hi :)
Apparently the best bet is to keep the original copy of the document in Odt
format and use Save As ... to save in the older MS formats.  Are you sure
the file is saved as Doc rather than DocX?  In the Save As ... menu it's
the Microsoft Word (97/2000/Xp) option.  

Perhaps the dropped caps are a different font?  One that the MS Office user
doesn't have?  If you could find the fonts file and forward it to the MS
Office user they might be able to read the document properly?

If the document only needs to be viewed by the other person and not edited
at all the Pdf would be the best format as it displays the document exactly
the way it appears on your machine.

Again many apols that no-one was able to give any answer sooner.  Hopefully
someone might have a better idea and help you soon.
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Thanks for the suggestions,Tom.

The file is definitely being saved in .doc format - and it uses Garamond 11
font in both MS Word and LO.

I recently installed 3.4.4 - yet have not had time to see if the
incompatibility problem still exists with this latest version.

I've also noticed a graphics problem whereas I would anchor a jpg in LO to
a paragraph, yet when opened in MS Word - it changes position and shows it
in Word as being anchored to a character.
Strange.

Unfortunately, I cannot save in PDF format since additional editing will be
done.

Thanks for your help. I'll submit the problem to MS and see if they might
have an insight into what's going on.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Hi :)
I find MS Word fairly hopeless at dealing with pictures.  Writer seems to have 
a lot more sophistication especially when using native formats such as Odt.  It 
seems to have a wider range of ways to anchor things and moving them around the 
page is easier.  

At my main work-place they still use MS Office for most things but are now 
using Writer for their newsletter and beginning to look at it for other things 
too.  

Good luck with the report to MS :)
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Math can't handle asterisk as superscript

2011-11-10 Thread Konstantinos Tzoannopoulos

Hi everyone. I am trying to include the mathematical equations and
functions of the UTASTAR multicriteria decision analysis method in a
document I am writing; there is a formula that requires the asterisk to be
a superscript placed next to a certain variable. LibreOffice Math cannot
handle this, however - it just doesn't allow this sort of formatting. I
don't want to have to fire up Wine and MS Word to do this job and I can't
accept that MS Word's Equation Editor can give me this sort of formatting
and LibreOffice Math can't.

You can try to use odt-format in Word2010. The odt-format of Word2010 
seems usable to me. If you will use odt-format in Word2010, then set the 
file format to ODF1.0/1.1 in Tools  Options  Load/Save in LibreOffice 
because Word2010 does not yet support ODF1.2.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice help file: 'Next' key?

2011-11-10 Thread John D. Herron

In the LO help file I find, among the keyboard shortcuts, references to 
a 'Next' and 'Prior' key, respectively.
Having no such keys on my standard (Logitech) keyboard, I'm puzzled as 
to what actual keys they

are meant to reference.

Do I have a faulty or wrong keyboard, or am I just plain stupid?

Running LO in Ubuntu 11.04.

Help, please?

a much larger one.

highlight the first letter of the paragraph, select format - paragraph -
dropcaps - show dropcaps and use the default of 3 lines - yet the only

[libreoffice-users] Which RC version?

Once again I would like to request the Developers to create a reasonable
naming scheme.

How do I know which version I have? 

The About box says

LibreOffice 3.4.4 
OOO340m1 (Build:401)

is this RC1 or RC2?

Can you please name the installers as e.g.
LibO_3.4.4rc1_Build401_Win_x86_install_multi.exe
so that at least the Build number is a clue?

Thank you!

[libreoffice-users] Chapters

2011-11-10 Thread gotaug


I can't figure out how to create chapters in my book.

I've typed Chapter 1 in the Heading 1 style, followed many pages later by
Chapter 2 also in Heading 1 style, etc.  

I've inserted section breaks.

I've searched for hours to find a simple explanation.

The document doesn't seem to separate into chapters.  None of the functions

Re: [libreoffice-users] Which RC version?

Hi,

 Once again I would like to request the Developers to create a reasonable

 How do I know which version I have?

 The About box says

 LibreOffice 3.4.4

 is this RC1 or RC2?

That's RC1.

RC2 (release) will show:
LibreOffice 3.4.4
OOO340m1 (Build:402).

 Can you please name the installers as e.g.
 LibO_3.4.4rc1_Build401_Win_x86_install_multi.exe
 so that at least the Build number is a clue?

 Thank you!

Thanks. I just found that out because I installed the Final version which is
the same as RC2 i.e. Build 402

But it wouldn't kill the Devs if they used a naming system that made sense
to common users, would it?

 The difference seems to be that LibreOffice is issuing at least four

I can't figure out how to create chapters in my book.

Chapter 2 also in Heading 1 style, etc.  

I've inserted section breaks.

I've searched for hours to find a simple explanation.

The document doesn't seem to separate into chapters.  None of the functions
that work with chapters like indexes and numbering and tables of contents
are possible.

How do I break my document into chapters?

Great. Unfortunately not only is it now working under Windows 7 64 bit Home

problem. Needless to say, before now - Dropcaps did work properly within LO

Apparently, LO 3.4.4. has shut off some Drop Cap setting which affects all

I don't know how difficult that would be nor how many people would find it if

[libreoffice-users] Re: format in list mode

Hi :)
Do the lists have bullet points or are they numbered?  I have a feeling that
LibreOffice is trying to use the number at the front of items as the number

Saving the document as DOC keeps the correct formatting. LOL

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Thanks for sharing the info. Pedro.

Fortunately I have found the cause of this problem and it could be listed
as a user error.

Needless to say after using MS Word for roughly 17 years I know it better
than L.O. - which I recently have started to use as my full time word
processor.

Anyhow - in MS Word - You can create a drop cap at the beginning of a one
line, short sentence. Tonight, I discovered that does not hold true to
either OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Its seems for either OO or LO - you have to have a paragraph with a minimal
of three lines of text in order for Drop Cap to work properly.

I really with L.O. had a LibreOffice 3.4 Manual for Dummies available so
extreme novices to the program could easily learn each program/feature
within L.O.

The only manual I have seen so far is for L.O. 3.3 and it is definitely not
written in a simplistic manner.

Thanks again for your help.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Hi :)
Ouch, sorry!!

Try re-naming your user-profile as shown in this OOo guide
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=12426

With OpenSource programs such as FireFox, Thunderbird and so on the
user-profile contains all the settings and configurations and keeps them
separate from the program itself.  This makes it easier to upgrade the
program or re-install it and the newly installed version will have the same
settings (and maybe add a few).  

Renaming the user-profile forces the program to generate a new one which
effectively sets the program back to factory defaults.  It's the
equivalent of re-installing a non-OpenSource program except that any
updates, patches, bug-fixes and such would still be installed.  

Apols and regards from
Tom :)

In the process of trying resolve a different problem - I uninstalled L.O. -
deleted the Libreoffice directory from Program files and removed the
Libreoffice folder out of my app/data folder. Thus doing what your article
references, and more. :-)

This seems to have resolved the problem.

 Hi :)
 Do the lists have bullet points or are they numbered?  I have a feeling that
 LibreOffice is trying to use the number at the front of items as the number
 in a number list.  Selecting the whole list and choosing to make it a
 bullet-pointed list might solve the problem.
 Regards from
 Tom :)
The default appears to be bullets but it is very easy to switch to
numbered. (Ubuntu 11.10 Gnome 3.2 LO 3.4.3)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Dropped Caps - Sharing a .doc file created in LO 3.4.3 and MS Word 2007

Hi :)
Official documentation is at both 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
and at
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

The wiki has links to other 3rd party documentation.  The guides are written
for 3.3.x but the 3.4.x guides are being worked through steadily and may
start appearing in the next few weeks.  The guides are written elsewhere and
then usually uploaded to the wiki a day or few before the official site. 
Hopefully the Getting Started Guide might be a little bit easier than
whatever guides you have been using so far.

Regards from
Tom :)
