Try this link. It's an old post but it seems working with Windows 
version of OO.o.

Although, I can't verify it as I'm using LO version 3.4.4 with Ubuntu.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.

Hi :)
I guess that does explain why some books have Chapter headings taking up a 
complete page on their own with the back of that page empty and the contents of 
the chapter appearing on the next facing page.  Rather than just having all the 
empty pages at the end they space the chapters out to gain gravitas.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Okay, I found a way that works for me:
I'll use a single side layout, make a pdf from it and then I'll create a pdf 
with only blank pages, merge these two pdfs and rearrange the pages - page1 of 
pdf1 followed by page1 of pdf2. Or something along those lines - I found a few 
pdf-editing-tools that have some great capabilities.

It probably isn't an elegant solution but it works.

They print a 4 pages on each side of the sheet of paper and use the equipment 
to fold, cut, and bind them to make the physical document/book/etc.  Modern 
hardcover novels, using the large print companies, end up printing 16 pages per 
side of a sheet-block on a web-press.  Then these sheets are printed on each 
side [32 page faces at a time] then take these folded groups and have a machine 
merge each 32-page group together to make the 400 - 1000 page hardcover, and 
even mass-paperback books.  This is a standard printing method, instead of 
printing a single 2 sided page at a time.  It is easier to bind the 32-page 
group than the single double-sided pages as well.  Easier for printing and cost 
less in the long run.

That is why the blank pages; to fill the rest of the large size, multi-page, 
sheets.  They want the author to do this, not their people.  They do not want 
to edit your PDF file.  Print-on-demand companies, like Lulu.com are do the 
same, but to a lesser degree.

Going further with offtopic, in Poland there are many small printing companies
in close neighborhood of each university building. These companies usually
have few photocopiers, few printers and one or two computers. You can print
and bind your thesis in almost every of these companies, although only in
preset hard cover (they usually say "Master thesis" or something similar on

or title of your thesis on your cover, it would be harder and more expensive.

Here in Poland we are used to believe that Germany is land of milk and honey.
I find it surprising that - at least in that area - in Poland we are apparently
in better position than you are. Having so many printing companies around, no
one would care about inserting real blank pages into documents - they would
just go to another company, the one that has no such prerequirements about
documents.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.

2012-01-18 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions



Was the original question involving a professional service that would 
print many copies of the document and do a professional binding?  If so, 
then printing on your own printer is not an option here.


I would not want to print out 20 copies of a 300 page document [150 
sheets of paper each] on my laser printer, which is no a duplex 
printer.  I would not print out a single copy on my duplex inkjet 
printer either.


It is all about the scale of the print job and the professional looking 
binding.  That is what seems to me the issue here.  The person needs the 
blank pages at the end of his document to fit the needs of his 
Professional Printing Service.  He is not going to do the printing at 
home, where he can just add unprinted sheets to the stack of paper 
coming off his printer.


Sure, there are a lot of printers that can do two-sided printing or 
odd/even printing, but that was not the issue here.  I bought a duplex 
inkjet to save money on paper.  I would like a duplex laser printer as 
well.  But I would never use my printers to do a production run for 
large page count documents.  I would use a print-on-demand service or a 
local printing service for those "production runs".


Would you want to print off 500 double sided brochures for a LO table at 
a show yourself?  Or would you try to get a deal at a printer's place.  
Just folding them to be a tri-fold brochure, with paper creased already 
at the folding lines, is too much for me to think about.


It all comes down to the scale of printing and how professional the 
folding/binding/covers are to be.


He is needing the professional look, in my opinion, and needs the final 
PDF file to have the extra blank pages at the end of the document.  That 
was the issue, and that is what we needed to give an answer to.


Is there a way to Export-to-PDF or print-to-PDF using internal document 
controls to create the blank pages with no header or footers?  If not 
then he will have to use some external PDF editing software to "insert" 
blank pages at the end of the document.  Hopefully someone knows how to 
add/remove/change the header and footer text after a certain point in 
the document.  I remember using some word processor many years ago that 
allowed that.  Just go to page 55 and edit the footer showing on that 
page and it will be the original one on pages 1 thru 49 and the new one 
on 50 thru the next change or the end of the document.  If that type of 
thing has been removed due to document file format issues, then it needs 
to be put back in.


So does any one know how to change the footer to a different text option 
after 50 pages or so and keep the original footer for the first 50 
pages?  He needs this for the creation of a PDF file, not a paper 
version. That is the question here, and not if/how a printer can print 
his document by some two sided printing method.

Hi :)
True :))  You have to do a quick test run with 1 or 2 pages just to make sure which way you have to put the paper back in just in case your printer is weird.  Also make sure that no-one else prints to 'your' printer when you are doing the "even" pages.  I have been in quite a few offices where people would delight in saving-up their print-jobs until someone tried doing something like this purely in order to create confusion and make a fuss.

simpler, hence less expensive and should be more reliable.

Being an "ex-Printer man" for one of the large Printer Manufactures I have to 
point out the following, (which over the years I have found very few users know about).

You do _NOT_ need a more expensive Duplex Printer to produce Double-sided 
printouts!! Almost all print routines have the option to control what prints 
out in any print job. So ..

First set-up your print job to print 'Odd pages only';
Take these pages, turn them over and put them back into the paper tray;
Now set-up the print job to print 'Even pages only'.

And there you have it - A Double-sided printout from a single page printer!! 
Easy.

Updates are typically multi-OS. Example:

Scroll down to the 'Appendix - Oracle Java SE' and read:

CVSS scores below assume that a user running a Java applet or Java Web
Start application has administrator privileges (typical on Windows).
Where the user does not run with administrator privileges (typical on
Solaris and Linux), the corresponding CVSS impact scores for
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability are "Partial" instead of
"Complete", and the corresponding CVSS Base score is 7.5 instead of 10
respectively.

Ditto for the October 2011 updates:

And:
http://java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml

Should I remove older versions of Java?
We highly recommend users remove all older versions of Java from your
system.
Keeping old and unsupported versions of Java on your system presents a
serious security risk.
Removing older versions of Java from your system ensures that Java
applications will run with the most up-to-date security and performance
improvements on your system.

Regarding performance issues, from the same web page:

Do I need older versions of Java?
The latest available version is always compatible with the older
versions. However, some Java applications (or applets) can indicate that
they are dependent on a particular version, and may not run if you do
not have that version installed. If an application or web page you
access requires an older version of Java, you should report this to the
provider/developer and request that they update the application to be
compatible with all Java versions.

So... run older versions at *your* own risk. Just please do not advise
others to do the same without sufficent warnings.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.

Do not use left or right page style. They are only good when you print 
double side. They are used to differentiate odd/even pages. And if you 
use only 'right page' style, LO will insert a blank page after every 
left/right pages. And you don't want that.
For single side printing, use 'default' page style with 'First Page' 
style as optional.

Hey,

My problem is this: I have to hand in my thesis with only one side of

I thought I cloud cheat by only using right page styles, because Libre 
inserts a blank page when two even or odd page follow one another. But 
these blank pages change my page count. It is true that I actually 
have more pages than the written ones but it shouldn't show in my page 
number.


I tried correcting the page number - but I can't figure out how. With 
each new page the number of blank pages increases - so the fifth page 
should have the page number 3 (3 written pages plus two blank ones) 
while the ninth page should have the page number 5 (5 written pages 
plus 4 blanks).


Is there an easier way to accomplish my goal? Or does anybody have an 
idea how I can correct my page number/count?


Any hints would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!

[libreoffice-users] Installing LO 3.4.5

2012-01-18 Thread Maurice Batey

Within a bug report I have been asked to install & try LO 3.4.5, which
I have already downloaded (+ GB-lang & help packs).

Has the install procedure changed since the following details kindly
provided for installing 3.3?:  


"Installation instructions for Mandriva are:
===
Install process:
Intallation (based on a KDE desktop Mandriva 2010.1)
===
BEFORE STARTING, UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF LIBREOFFICE
WITH THROUGH THE MCC AND THEN QUIT THE MCC

1. Download LibreOffice from http://www.documentfoundation.org to
your  "downloads" folder into a folder called "LibreOffice"
2. Open Dolphin
3. Browse to the "LibreOffice" folder in the "downloads" folder
4. Right-click on the LibreOffice file and choose extract archive
here
5. Once extracted double-click on folder "en-Us" and then "RPMS"
and then "desktop-integration"
6. In Dolphin do F3 (this will split screen your window)
7. Click in the right window once and click on the "UP" arrow in
 the main menu bar up-above in Dolphin

 AutoText is way to do repeated things as I have described. The
other way is using a macro. Have you thought about doing that? Macros
are not my area of expertise, but others on this list might be able to
help.

There is no need to enable or disable anything. You can write (and spell

GUI language, numeric default locale and default text language are
completely independent from each other. Each snippet of text, each table
cell, field, input box and what else can be used in its own language
context.

And for those of us who don't speak 2, 3 or 10 different languages, and

Gordon: it is a little easier to first disable the entire Dictionary 
category (rather than doing each language individually), then expand it 
and select only the desired language.

Create a parameter query: SELECT * FROM "Table" WHERE "Column"= :p
Create a Calc template with an import range bound to that param query.

On the side of main topic:
I find it quite surprising. If that printing company is recommended by your
university, perhaps there is some kind of agreement between company and
university, and perhaps many students print their thesis in that printing
company. And yet they are unprepared for continuously numbered PDFs that have
to be printed one-sided? I doubt that MS Word makes solving your task any
easier than LO Writer.

Or maybe most students send .doc file to printing company? But that should be
more expensive, since additional editorial work has to be done (beside
printing).

Or maybe most students prepare their thesis in Adobe InDesign (which, as you
say, is capable of solving your task)? I find it quite hard to belive, since
InDesign is really expensive software. But maybe your university has special
agreement with Adobe that students can download and use InDesign for free?

Going further with offtopic, in Poland there are many small printing companies
in close neighborhood of each university building. These companies usually
have few photocopiers, few printers and one or two computers. You can print
and bind your thesis in almost every of these companies, although only in
preset hard cover (they usually say "Master thesis" or something similar on
front cover and they look like [1]). So, if you would like to have your name
or title of your thesis on your cover, it would be harder and more expensive.

Here in Poland we are used to believe that Germany is land of milk and honey.
I find it surprising that - at least in that area - in Poland we are apparently
in better position than you are. Having so many printing companies around, no
one would care about inserting real blank pages into documents - they would
just go to another company, the one that has no such prerequirements about
documents.
Another option is to print the required copies on a laser printer 
yourself and then have them bound. You may need special archival paper.


In the very old days, I printed my thesis and had it bound separately. I 
had to get special paper and format the text according to the instructions.

OOo 3.3 is downloadable as one language version without any extensions

multi-lingual with some extensions preinstalled.

The unopkg command line tool can remove them.

If it did work in the past version of OOo (as you said), you should file it as 
"regression", not "enhancement". Fortunately, regressions gets more developers 
attention than enhancements.

I think that would be valuable to check previous versions of OOo as well. Did 
it work in 3.0.0, but not in (say) 3.1? Does changelog mention it? If changed 
behavior was introduced in OOo, chances are that LO developers don't know 
anything about it. In that case, perhaps it indeed is "enhancement" and not 
"regression".

But please wait some time (I don't know, few days?) before posting it on 
bugzilla. Maybe someone will drop by and explain things a bit.
You can also ask on developers mailing list before posting on bugzilla. Maybe 
it was changed on purpose?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Change default size to insert pictures

2012-01-18 Thread mnatiello

Hi Dan,


Thanks, it is a "workaround" but not a solution, I would say. One has to use
the predefined autotext to enter 
the pictures one at a time. I still look for a way to redefine the "default
anchor and size" with which the pictures
are being inserted. It makes a difference if you have to enter say 100
pictures at one shot.
 If you don't know about a way to modify the default... should I file an
"enhancement request?"
Mario

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents in alphabetic order?

2012-01-18 Thread .

I've spent over 24 hours, in the past, to get that to work with indexes
and it doesn't.

The directions in "danilop" do not work for me.  There's probably some
way to configure Styles and Paragraphs to allow for links in indexes but
I haven't enough brains in my head (or patience) to spend any more time
on this.  Someone, not an expert, should write an simple guide on how to
do it as too many assumptions are made which aren't included in the
directions.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.

On the side of main topic:
I find it quite surprising. If that printing company is recommended by your 
university, perhaps there is some kind of agreement between company and 
university, and perhaps many students print their thesis in that printing 
company. And yet they are unprepared for continuously numbered PDFs that have 
to be printed one-sided? I doubt that MS Word makes solving your task any 
easier than LO Writer.

Or maybe most students send .doc file to printing company? But that should be 
more expensive, since additional editorial work has to be done (beside 
printing).

Or maybe most students prepare their thesis in Adobe InDesign (which, as you 
say, is capable of solving your task)? I find it quite hard to belive, since 
InDesign is really expensive software. But maybe your university has special 
agreement with Adobe that students can download and use InDesign for free?

Going further with offtopic, in Poland there are many small printing companies 
in close neighborhood of each university building. These companies usually 
have few photocopiers, few printers and one or two computers. You can print 
and bind your thesis in almost every of these companies, although only in 
preset hard cover (they usually say "Master thesis" or something similar on 
front cover and they look like [1]). So, if you would like to have your name 
or title of your thesis on your cover, it would be harder and more expensive.

Here in Poland we are used to believe that Germany is land of milk and honey. 
I find it surprising that - at least in that area - in Poland we are apparently 
in better position than you are. Having so many printing companies around, no 
one would care about inserting real blank pages into documents - they would 
just go to another company, the one that has no such prerequirements about 
documents.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress: Import text from file dynamically


This will only give you half way of what you want.
Goto "Insert -> Object -> OLE Object"
Select 'Create from file',
Choose the file you want to link,
Make sure to check 'Link to file' checkbox.

Unfortunately, this will not update the contents automatically.
You have to goto "Edit -> Links -> Update"
And you can't even update it manually during the slideshow. You have to 
end slideshow before you can update the links.
Only DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange) from Calc can be automatically updated, 
it said.

Leave behind all spreadsheets. There is no technical reason nor
convenience factor in favour of using spreadsheets with a database dump
of raw data.
The dBase driver of the Base component supports indexing for fast
lookups within millions of rows.
Save as dBase in a *dedicated directory*. dBase is a database in a
directory.

Connect a Base document to the *directory*.
Open the table for editing and add some indices on relevant fields.
Create a set of simple queries. Parameter queries are supported.

There is no need to enable or disable anything. You can write (and spell

GUI language, numeric default locale and default text language are 
completely independent from each other. Each snippet of text, each table

If you restrict your users' rights through the Tables/Columns privilege

Hi :)
It's not great to be faced with these challenges and questions and no answers when people first write in to the list.  It's scary.  Sadly i don't think there was a way around it this time. 

Perhaps John has installed on a lower spec than is really needed for Ubuntu.  Ubuntu really needs 15Gb hard-drive, 1GHz Cpu and 1Gb Ram.  It can run in less, far less if you are an expert and do a special install but for a default and usable system it really takes about that much.  Lubuntu is better on lower spec than that or Xubuntu if you are close.  If one thing is lower but the rest higher then you can get away with it with Ubuntu but as a rule-of-thumb it's fairly accurate. 


When i was on the Ubuntu forums i often found that people had installed the Server 
Edition thinking it would be like the desktop but more powerful.  Another common issue 
would be that people had been told the the min.spec. for installing Ubuntu was barely 
usable by highly experienced Gnu&Linux experts who could swap-out bits&bobs and 
do a very non-standard install.  Another common problem was people installing inside 
Windows using the Wubi installer and often again with far too little space.  I made 
myself fairly unpopular by suggesting that the official min.spec. should be plenty for 
a usable system for a total noob, ie about 15 Gb hard-drive space, not 2Gb (or whatever 
ridiculous claim was made).  For at least 1Gb Ram and 1GHz Cpu rather than 256Mb Ram 
which is plausible only if the architecture happens to be far better than is likely.  
Almost every product makes ridiculous claims and something i initially liked about 
Ubuntu was that it didn't but
  then the year after they suddenly copied the boasting style of the rest of the corporate world. 


It's also possible that John Black is not subscribed and therefore not seeing

Your post makes no sense.
If you installed the latest version of Ubuntu then it already COMES with
the full Libre Office suite.
You need to tell us EXACTLY what you have and EXACTLY what you did.
(BTW, you cannot just install Calc on it's own - it's either the whole
suite or nothing).



I've just sent a copy of my mail directly to the OP. We'll see what that

In theory, you're right.  But as we all know:  In theory, theory and
practise should be the same.  In practise, they rarely are.

It all works as long as the printer *never* pulls through two sheets of
paper at a time.  Which always seemed to happen to me on sheet 2 of a
50+ sheet print run, if I didn't sit there and watch it.  Assuming I'd
put the paper back in the tray the right way round.  Although once
you've worked out which way that is, no errors should occur because of
that.

I ended up buying a printer with a duplexer to save me all that wasted
time, paper and ink.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about Writer - pages and page count.

2012-01-18 Thread Sylvia Schmidt


Okay, from the top: Yes, I'm using linux -> Ubuntu 11.10.

I've talked to the printing company and they said it should be "real" 
blank pages as the backs. I do not know why exactly, it has something to 
do with the binding and the 4 pages printout used. (There aren't that 
many companies around here that will print and bind books as hardcovers 
with only three copies. If the company wasn't recommended by my 
university I probably would have chosen a different one.)


I even know how to get that using Indesign, but Indesign is a real pain 
as a 'writing tool'. So I thought I'd try something else... I didn't 
even think of changing the finished pdf, but that's a great idea! I'll 
look into your suggestions. Thank you for that.
