Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Suggestions for LibreOffice
Hi :) This thread is a good one to 'hijack' for your purpose :) The link for posting wish-list items or Feature requests (whatever you want to call them) is https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ without a dot at the end. When you post a bug-report one of the drop-downs has Feature request or something similar. Please let us know which Operating System you are using. Most including Windows do have individual icons already but not cluttering up the desktop. You can add them there. In Windows Xp click on the Start button then All Programs - LibreOffice ... Now right-click on Writer and choose Send to .. - Desktop (create shortcut) Since you also use Calc it might be good to do the same with that one but since you don't seem to use the rest you don't need to have them cluttering up desktop 'real-estate'. Another way of opening files is just to double-click on them, or right-click and then the button Open with LibreOffice should be in the list but only if you have already opened that sort of file with LibreOffice. You can choose to always open with this app and that tick-box is already ticked-by-default in Windows. Navigation might be easier if you use the Places panel on the left-hand-side of the load/save dialogue box. It might be possible that you have it set to Explorer/Tree instead of Places. In most OSes you can, to some extent, set which folders are displayed in there but i am not sure how to set mount-points in Windows. Different partitions should be there already tho.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with linking to data on a website
Hi :) I think Base has to be the way forwards. It is a bit of a steep learning curve but this sort of project is perfect for it. Spreadsheets would be really messy and hopelessly complicated and would never really allow you to play around with the data so freely. This guide might help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Guide Note that the 2nd chapter is a very rough draft and not really meant for the general public yet. Regards from Tom :) --- On Sun, 29/1/12, Craig_in_Suwanee clp@gmail.com wrote: From: Craig_in_Suwanee clp@gmail.com Subject: [libreoffice-users] Help with linking to data on a website To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Sunday, 29 January, 2012, 4:10 I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet in LibreCalc for Fantasy Football that includes every active QB, RB, WR, TE, and K from Yahoo. I only picked Yahoo because I've gotten further along with their data than any other website. So far, I've figured out how to get a list of names and teams for the above positions. What I've done so far is create a spreadsheet with each position on a separate worksheet. I was able to grab the names and teams for each position by doing the following (example for RBs): Insert Link to External Data URL of external data source http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players?type=positionc=NFLpos=RB Available Tables/Ranges HTML_10. That gets me a list of the names and teams for each position and also includes a hyperlink to the player's individual page. Here's my issue: From each player's individual page I also want to pull their Date of Birth (Running Backs over 30 are a red flag) and the year they entered the league (Wide Receivers tend to break out in Year 3). I haven't yet figured out how to dynamically pull the additional data based on the initial web hyperlink. The additional data that I need is all contained in the player's individual pages (HTML_2 from the player's page). The secondary links must be dynamic and based on the initial list of players, since it's likely that players will come and go. Can this be done at all? Will it require the use of macros? Would I be better served to just do this whole thing using LibreBase? That would bring up a whole host of new questions, considering I have very little experience creating a database. One more minor question: Can I just delete any unwanted lines before or after the data that is pulled in? For instance, when I pull in the position page there are 2 lines at the top that I would just assume delete. If I delete them will that mess things up when I refresh the dynamic data? There's obviously more hurdles to overcome further down the road with this list, but this is where I am right now. My reason for attempting this is because I have spent a ton of time trying to track down this data and manually populate my master spreadsheet. If I could figure out a way to Push a button and get all of this together automatically then that would save a bunch of time (even if I spend a ton of time figuring out how to do it initially). Plus, I'm just a geek and I want to say that I did it. Eventually, I'd like to pull the dynamic draft rankings data into my master spreadsheet so that I'll have several different websites' draft data updated automatically. If anybody is interested in helping out with this project I'd be more than willing to share my work (assuming you aren't in my Fantasy league). -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Help-with-linking-to-data-on-a-website-tp3696924p3696924.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 -- 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

[libreoffice-users] Does LO work with Cinnamon - GNOME2 shell in 3?
Anyone out there have used Linux Mint 12 with LO? This is actually a developer's question, but needs to be asked of the Users as well. Does anyone know if LO works with the Cinnamon, which is a shell [I think that is the correct term] that is placed over GNOME 3.x so it looks and works like GNOME2.x? I remember that there was some issues with LO working with GNOME 3.x desktop environment's way of displaying windows. Since the 2.x project is closed and people were going to other distros and desktops due to their dislike of GNOME 3.x, Linux Mint decided to develop a way for people to have their GNOME 2.x style of desktop on 3.x. It seemed that people were going to Mint since they still supported 2.x, but when they could no longer get it from their source [Mint is a fork of Ubuntu, with another Mint a fork of Debian] they had to provide a GNOME 2.x style of desktop shell to keep their users happy. Cinnamon is not stable, according to the web site. It is on Linux Mint 12, and either in the repository, a Git repository, or in a PPA for; Ubuntu 11.10, Fedora 16, OpenSUSE 12.1, Arch Linux, and Gentoo. I have not tried it, since I am still using Ubuntu 10.04. I did not like Ubuntu's switch to GNOME3 and could not use it with my needs. So I was stuck with 10.xx. If LO will support that desktop shell combination, I will now be able to look into having a more up-to-date OS, other than what Ubuntu places in its 10.04 repository updates. At least 10.04 now shows LO 3.4.4-402 as the latest version in the repository, which I installed from LO's web site when it came out. http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61 With Win 8 going to the Tablet-style of desktop environment, like GNOME 3 seems to be as well, there is talk about many users will either have to back-port it to Win 7 or go to Linux. If Linux is chosen, then they have to use something other than the standard GNOME 3 desktop. For myself, I use a combination of GNOME2.x and KDE since there are packages in KDE that are better than GNOME 2.x's version and some of GNOME 2.x works better than KDE for me for the actual desktop. Many of the KDE system monitoring and modification packages are easier for me to use over GNOME 2.x versions. So I have a interesting setup. Now, if I can get a replacement drive for my test system, I will try Mint 12 with Cinnamon, but it may take time to get that really old system [bios will not work with any Windows newer than Win ME, not even Win2000] a replacement drive. So it will be awhile before I can test Cinnamon with LO, and I would like to know if it does work well with LO. -- 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] Does LO work with Cinnamon - GNOME2 shell in 3?
The way I read it, Cinnamon was the default for Mint 12. I could be wrong though. Right now, from what I have seen in the screen clips for Mint 12, I do not see any panels or other way to bring up the menu system so you can run/install packages.

However, Edit|Database|Properties is greyed out on SeaMonkey, I can only select 'Connection type'. On Thunderbird I can select the profile.

So if you really need it, perhaps you have to write it yourself. Anyway, you should ask about it on developers' mailing list. What type of documents are you typing? emacs seems to me that it is used for mainframe programming editors, not word processors. I could be wrong about that, if there is a specific word processor that uses the emacs key shortcuts withing their control/navigation system. It has been many years since I used an editor that used those [or vi/vim] commands. When I do the editing for programming, I use Kate or gedit for Linux and NoteTab++ for Windows. I find they are much easier to use than the original text/program editors that used vi/vim/emacs editing controls instead of mouse/menu controls. Well I got spoiled after all those years on a dumb terminal or typing punch cards. I prefer a window environment like GNOME2 gives you over Terminal use that works a lot like what I had to do with the mainframes I worked on. Well Win XP/pro is nice as well, if I have to use a non-Linux system. So the question is what you are doing for the typing? I know that if you have had years worth of finger-memory for using the keyboard shortcuts, that is is hard to get use to using the mouse/menu option and the word processor's internal shortcuts like Ctrl-Alt-f to open the Find/Replace option[s] or Ctrl-A for select all. I do not remember these shortcuts much. Each package seems to have their own definations beyond Ctrl-x, -c, and -v. Some change Ctrl-c and -z as well. -- 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] relative paths to linked graphics do not work
Daniel: Perhaps a little studying on how relative paths work is in order. When you see a relative path that begins with ./xxx, this means to begin looking for xxx in the same folder you are presently in. (xxx can be a folder or file.) When you see a relative path that begins with ../xxx, this means to begin looking for xxx in the folder containing the folder you are presently in. For example: the document is in /home/Document/aaa/bbb. The picture file something.png is in /home/Document/aaa/bbb/ccc. Then the relative path for the picture file is ./ccc/something.png. You are in the bbb folder. Look for ccc in it. Then look for something.png in the ccc folder. But if the path for something.png is /home/Document/aaa/ddd/something.png, the relative path would be ../ddd/something.png. You are in the bbb folder. The paths says go back to the aaa folder and locate for the ddd folder there. Then locate something.png in the ddd folder. --Dan On Sun, 2012-01-29 at 21:32 +0100, Daniel Wibbing wrote: Hi Brian, you are a genius! :) Using this little dot in front of the path name really works! ./Bilder/Kapitel 2/Hall_effect_A.png Like this I am now able to delete the beginnings of the absolute path names, set the dot in front of the relative part and the picture will be shown.

The official proper use and look of foot notes changed 4 or 5 times between the first college degree, through the last and into my work at a local school district. Other page formatting from margins, notation, biography, and other parts of a written paper as the years went by, swing from one extreme and back again. As for the 60 years ago for double space issue, well I had to type up college papers [with a Windows based computer in 2000 or 2001] and I was required to use 2 spaces between a period and the capital letter of the next line - Required or it would loose me grade points. There was some papers that required a full line spacing between text lines of the page, while others used standard line spacing. For the foot notes, and other things, I had to buy the currently used English writing text book used in the first two semester courses for writing properly. I already had 3 others on the shelf and had to use the newest one. The book changed since my 1st semester of the 3rd degree and the last semester of night college courses [3+ years later taking only the courses needed to go from the 2nd degree to the 3rd one]. So the long and short of it is, what is required for proper writing of papers changes yearly, or every time English professionals get together to review what concepts and requirements came out since the last get-together. Now that people use computers more than typewriters, the changes can come faster as the influences are spread via the Net faster. Actually my neighbor's kids were required to type of their 5-8 grade papers before their parents could afford to buy one. IF it was not typed up via a computer and a printed copy with a digital copy handed in, they would fail the assignment. This was at a school where over a third of the kids had no computer at home, but it was a requirement for the district that their students had to have a computer at home to write/print/save-to-disc their written assignments - since it was easier and quicker to read than handwritten papers. I ended up having the neighbor's kids come over and type on one of my machines in my home/office. -- 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
