[libreoffice-users] Images get smaller and deformed in .doc
Hello everyone. I installed LibreOffice at work. I use it at home and like it very much, but I have a problem that is important because don't allow me to do some things I need at work. The problem happens with the LibreOffice Writer and the format .doc . When I insert an image and use it as Como carácter (in spanish, I don't know how it's called in English. See first capture), I save the document and there's no problem (See second capture), but when I open the document (or a document created with Word) the image gets smaller and deformed (see third capture). I think it's some kind of bug, but I need to know if I can solve this problem somehow, because I need it to work as I said. 1) http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/6835/libre1.jpg 2) http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/9522/libre2.jpg 3) http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9500/libre3.jpg Thank you very much!

[libreoffice-users] Mail merge doesn't send e-mails
Using LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402) on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 I use Writer to mail merge from a .CSV file and send the results via e-mail (I have been doing this successfully using OO Writer on Windows XP for a number of years). The input file has only 5 records. The records are merged successfully but not all e-mails are sent. The e-mail status dialog will say 2 of 5 e-mails sent. 0 e-mails not sent. No errors are reported. If I edit the input file to remove the two records which were successful and merge again I may be able to send another message successfully. Eventually after repeated tries I can send all the messages. I have a number of input files (all with 5 records) and the problem happens with each. Sometimes 1 message is sent, sometimes 4. I've never been able to send all 5 at the first attempt. Any ideas what is happening? Is there a log file generated anywhere? It is taking so long to mail merge these e-mails that it would be quicker to send them manually!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail merge doesn't send e-mails
This sounds to me like an e-mail processing issue; not an LO problem. What exactly is the evidence that some of the e-mails are not sent? How large is the document that you are trying to send? What is your e-mail environment? Your client? Your messaging server? What is your antivirus environment? Are you in control of it? In my humble experience, mass mailings (5 might be interpreted as mass depending on the antivirus / antispam enviroment) are very fragile. Attachments (your document) can be unexpectedly bulky and trigger ISP traffic limits. The slightest syntax error in the list(s) of recipients can make it appear that the entire mailing went wrong. I don't propose to troubleshoot an e-mail / server problem in this forum. I'm trying to see on which side of the fence your issue may be hiding.

Re: [libreoffice-users] writer: business cards w/ tables - duplicate cells
I use to make a lot of specialty business cards and odd size labels for people. I found that many of the .doc templates did not work well with LO, or even Word 2003. I had to adjust the margins to fit the printer's needs since some of these templates used smaller top margins than the inkjet printer could use properly. I do like the make one label and then press a button and all the labels are made the same. That works well most times. As for needing each label to be different for the sheet[s] of labels, I think everyone has their own stories to tell about what works, and do not work, with their printer and their needs. If you must work out a procedure for an older user you will need to do the step-by-step instructions based upon that user's printer and his actual work. If you make it work on an Epson Artisan 810 printer, which does borderless printing for letter size paper, it may not printout properly with a HP PSC-1410 printer or a HP Color Laserjet 2600n. I know this, since these are the three working printer I currently have and I must use different margin sizes for each printer, it seems to my experience. So if you do this for someone else, you need to use the margins, etc., what his printer needs to use.

But if you use FileNew Label, and then select as your label, one of the Business Card templates (e.g. Avery Letter Size; Avery 5371) you will get a blank template of the proper size with no preselected fields or formatting. You can then design that space any way you like. And then generate the sheet of cards with the synchronize button. This still has some quirks I need to work out, but it is the best solution so far. Thanks! I can now also see how the mirrored frames are actually set up and can how to tweak it myself. Don't you have to conform to the business card templates in terms of size and margins in order to get them to print properly? This just seems like the easiest way to do it. The table I had set up was easy because the margins were nice numbers within any printer's margins. Its 10 3.5x2 cards on a 8.5x11 paper. So I set the margins to be .5 top and bottom and .75 left and right (-.1 on the bottom for that extra paragraph). The table then fit perfectly with 2x3.5 cells. Jerry Thank you to all of the replies. I am indeed not using the label/business card templates because I don't like the way they look nor the control I feel I have over them. If I could figure out how to create my own template that might work. For now it seems the best solution is really to just copy and paste. I've gotten rid of the extra page by change the font size outside of the table to the smallest possible value and then decreasing the bottom margin ever-so-slightly. The reason I'm concerned about some of these particulars is because I'm setting this stuff up for an older even-less-informed user than myself and I want him to be able to print and make small modifications without too much knowledge.
