Re: [libreoffice-users] French/English date
- D = Day as 2th One issue would be that “D” should actually = *2nd* not *2th* … Yeah, you're right: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... ie. it would be /highly/ localization/language dependent to try to indicate an ordinal rather than just let the number stand on it's own… if I recall it would be 2e in French, but I think I've also seen 2me … so it could be quite problematic, particularly with any large selection of regions. In French, you use the ordinal number only for the first day of a month. For every other day, it's a normal cardinal number. -- 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] French/English date
Hi at all, creating an extension might be a solution, but in my opinion, it isn't a good one. In French dates like 1er décembre 2011, the ordinal number for the first day of a month isn't an option, it's obligatory. You cannot say 1 décembre 2011 like LO does. So, LO should offer the possibility for ordinal numbers without a special extension. The same for English dates.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Template dialogue
Hi :) Perhaps the java issue? Which version of java are you trying to use? You can see by going to Tools - Options - Java Anything more recent than their 6u21 gets increasingly difficult. My guess is that you are on 6u24. If you can find the older 6u21 then you can install it alongside the existing version of java. Then go back to Tools - Options - Java to set which version of java LibreOffice is using. I think web-browsers and other prgrams keep using the highest version number.

RE: [libreoffice-users] French/English date
Hi, In reply to Julius. I understand your explanation and it seems to me that what you are asking for is a permanent correction or addition to an existing function in the French localisation and I'd imagine that that would not be too difficult to do. Although I have no real idea of how the current formats are coded but I appreciate the frustration people using the French localisations must feel. However your original post on this subject has sparked much interest and has led to other possible adaptations of your original request such as:- 1. multi language ordinal functions. Imagine being able to select a range of cells in calc and setting the format to ordinal for any number value. 2 . expanded functionality in creating custom number and date formats including the use of ordinals to allow for people to create their own formats from local custom not only national language. 3. and one I have introduced and that is being able to save custom formats with a friendly name that can be, once saved, selected from the existing format list as and when required. You may also be correct in these ideas not being solved by an extension but by actually modifying the LO code itself, that is, embedded directly into LO may be a better solution. However please don't think that these expansions of your original post detract in any way from the importance of your original post because what you have brought to everyone's attention is the need to correct an existing flaw, not to introduce a new function, although in order to do what you have asked does require the creation of some new functions and it is these new functions that has sparked everyone's imagination as to other possible uses .

RE: [libreoffice-users] French/English date
Hi :) True. The reason i suggested an Extension is because 1. someone said they already had some C# coding to do at least part of this 2. i think it's faster than getting something into the main branch and dealing with all the politics and systems of another group (ie the devs group) 3. Once something is tested as an Extension it seems that it's a lot easier to pull it into the main branch We do need more programmers/devs and doing an Extension might help someone work their way into that group. I think the devs are quite a welcoming bunch and have things such as Easy Hacks and a mentoring system to help people learn how to code for LibreOffice (and in general too). We already have a lot of programmers but there is always room for more. We are usually mostly short of people in the documentation group and it's documentation that is usually the problem with most OpenSource products but by sheer coincidence quite a few new people have just recently joined so we can look forward to guides for the 3.4.x branch arriving within the next few weeks. Guides for the 3.3.x branch are at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications along with 3rd party documentation. The French team have an excellent FAQ which a couple of people are trying to translate into English although that is where we are really short of people.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Is it possible to format text boxes in writer (bullets, hyperlinks etc.)?

[libreoffice-users] Unwanted horizontal white hairline rules in PDF in Mac Preview
I just switched from NeoOffice to LibreOffice on my Mac. LibreOffice is much more reliable! I was getting mysterious disappearances of pictures in NeoOffice and have had no such problems since the switch. But one new problem is that when I export a PDF and then view it in Preview (in MacOS 10.6.8), there are full-width hairline white horizontal rules aligned with the top edge of some JPGs in the document. These rules don't appear when I view the document in Adobe Reader, but they do seem to appear when I /print/ even from Adobe Reader. So I'm guessing the exported PDF has some not-quite-standard feature that isn't working in MacOS.

Hi Andrew, I can see that you have another approach to the problem so far. My idea has been to use the already existing localization files to also localize other things than dialogs.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unwanted horizontal white hairline rules in PDF in Mac Preview
do you have a PDF printer to try? Ubuntu and other Linux have CUPS-PDF and there is a Windows one called doPDF. I find that it is good to try both the Export to PDF and a PDF Printer to compare each output. Sometimes it works better with CUPS, while other times it is better with the Exporting. To my, you PDF sample looks like it has ruled lines as part of the background texture. The more I zoom in for the viewing, the less ruled lines keep in the image. At 300% there is hairlines with only the photo, the BITS logo next to it and the National Science Foundation logo. All other images do not seem to have one. I do not see any on the second page. I wonder why there was only 3 images that had the hairline associated with them. Seems weird. I use to have problems with Adobe's Pagemaker. It placed a small black box on part of the first page of a 8 page newsletter. No one could figure why it happened. IT never happened with any other document. So I ended up using a different package for a pit till I quite doing newsletters. So it could be just a gremlin in the document. Have you created a different document, adding the same background and some images? Did the hairline show up with that new document? If it does, then there is a recurring issue. IF not, then it could be something with that document that caused the gremlin to appear. Try a second document. Simple one with a little text and images, using the same background. We need to know if it is a problem that can be reproduced. On 12/01/2011 01:55 PM, bh wrote: I just switched from NeoOffice to LibreOffice on my Mac. LibreOffice is much more reliable!

[libreoffice-users] automatic formatting, turn off
Hello, I am trying to copy a contract that I purchased at the stationary store. On the left margin, the contract starts with 1. Parties: Everything between the quotes is BOLD and underlined. Initially, I had no problem with this. But then I put a RETURN into the text that followed and suddenly I had a 2. in the middle of the text, and the text was indented. The entire contract, with 17 numbers and headings, are in the style that I was taught 55 years ago as block. The number and heading is in the first line of each paragraph. And the second line is on the left margin under the number. I went into LibreOffice Help, Changing the Default Template. In To Create a Default Template, the first line reads, 1. Create a document and the content and formatting styles that you want. I THOUGHT that was what I was doing! What I want is an OPEN style, wherein I tell the computer what I want, NOT have the computer tell me! I don't want automatic indenting, or numbering, or bullets, or almost any of those other bells and whistles. As usual, I have not ASKED any questions. Perhaps I should erase these 3 paragraphs and simply ask, How do I convert my LibreOffice to a typewriter? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/automatic-formatting-turn-off-tp3552912p3552912.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

Hi :) OpenJDK is also run by Oracle and suffers about the same. I'm not sure about the best version numbers numbers for that either. I don't know if the community that work hard on that are able to free it from Oracle in the way that TDF freed LibreOffice from them. I don't know if it is still possible to get a copy of the older version of java from the Oracle website. You used to have to register at their site to get them.

I sent you a full copy of the source used to create an extension,... Wow. This is certainly a bunch of gold. I will use this to compile the final extension - I'm sure. For others who might be interested: Is this public available somewhere? I can recommend to every macro programmer to have a look. My idea is also to use it in an extension. Problems so faris: - When I read the DialogStrings_xx_YY.properties ... - problem solved ;-) - Effectiveness. I'm not sure this is the most effective way and I'm affraid that with many strings it will run slow. I haven't tried with more than these very few strings. Ahhh, I can perhaps take a look, but it is already 3:00 AM and I must be up early for work. Hey its no hurry. in the meantime I asked a colleague for help and we found a solution for the UTF8 problem. New version here: http://blog.magenta-aps.dk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Review.oxt But I still would like your opinion. For the record: If anyone can use it, its free software (LGPL/GPL or something) ;-) Missing work to be done (not problems) - Error handling - Better way to load only relevant strings (only partly implemented so far) - Default language should be from DialogString_xx_YY.default and not hardcoded - Script to generate Addons.xcu and /Office/UI/XYZWindowState.xcu Feel free to tell me what you think of my solution.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver
It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux distribution repository or PPA, etc), Here are the details. I'm currently running LO version 3.4.4 OOO340m1 from the Debian sid (unstable) repository. The Debian revision number is 1:3.4.4-2. My OS is Debian/sid. The video driver is from the package xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-71xx revision 71.86.15-1 with kernel module built using nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-dkms revision 71.86.15-1 My kernel is 3.1.0-1-686-pae My video card is a dual-head GoForce something - sorry I can't seem to find the model number in /var/log/Xorg.0.log though it does mention Chipset: NVIDIA NV34 My xorg.conf is cut-and-paste below. For what it's worth, I have never had any trouble with QT apps, as some other repliers to this thread have. Only with OOo and LO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unwanted horizontal white hairline rules in PDF in Mac Preview
I viewed the document in Foxit Reader v5.1 on a Win7 64bit system and didn't see the lines either.

I was getting mysterious disappearances of pictures in NeoOffice and have had no such problems since the switch. But one new problem is that when I export a PDF and then view it in Preview (in MacOS 10.6.8), there are full-width hairline white horizontal rules aligned with the top edge of some JPGs in the document. These rules don't appear when I view the document in Adobe Reader, but they do seem to appear when I /print/ even from Adobe Reader. So I'm guessing the exported PDF has some not-quite-standard feature that isn't working in MacOS. An example is at http://cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/bug.pdf ... Perhaps I'm missing the obvious, but when I view that PDF in Adobe Reader 9.4.6 (linux) I see not hairline white horizontal rules (even at 200% zoom). Nor do I see them in Evince or Okular. Printing from AR 9.4.6 (linux) to an Epson WorkForce 635 doesn't reveal any either. Maybe it's a Mac issue? -- 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 publicly archived and cannot be deleted

What appears to happen is that everything above a certain point is good, but below it the text simply doesn't appear. I've not seen any other application that has the same problem. I've attached a typical screenshot to demonstrate the effect. It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux distribution repository or PPA, etc), 2) what OS type and version (there are about thousands of versions of linux). My /guess/ is that you are running some form of Ubuntu, if correct please tell us which version you are running. Cannot comment on this poster, but, I have seen a very similar issue on both OOo and LO. I see this on Linux, not on Windows. I had the problem with Fedora 15 and also Fedora 16. Both are 64-bit versions. I use the KMod drivers for NVidia installed from the repositories. I see the issues with other applications as well, but the primary offenders are OOo and QT. Using Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 base and derivatives (Pinguy and Mint), both 64 bit, I have not seen this behavior. AFAIK the drivers were/are ATI Radeon from the repository. The actual drivers were auto-installed on installation and left unchanged. The desktops include both Gnome 2.? and Gnome 3.2. It appears that the problem is limited to the NVidia drivers. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.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
