Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I change page orientation for only ONE page in Writer?
Hi :) Both pages are about the same for the 3.3.x branch. The wiki-page does have the more recent 3.4.x branch documentation and a couple of chapters about Base but it only has individual chapters, not a complete book anywhere. One of the chapters for Base is a rough work-in-progress rather than completely finished. For the Dvd it might be best to stick with the 3.3.x branch for now. I guess if you do have chapters separately then maybe it might be worth having those separate ones as the newer versions but that would make them unlike the copies you have in the completed books. So it might just confuse people. Just my 2cents and contradiction.

Johannes Sixt j...@kdbg.org wrote in message news:4f21b5e1.3000...@kdbg.org... I have custom document template, and from this template a handful software manuals were authored. Styles were used extensively. Now it's time to modernize the look of the manuals, but we don't want to repeat the style changes in all manuals. (That's what styles are for, aren't they?) With MS Word (2000), the .doc files recorded the template. Styles can be marked so that when they were changed while editing one of the .doc files, that style changes were propagated to the template. Later, when one of the other .doc files was opened, it copied all styles from the template (automatically), which effectivly updates the other file as well. What is the workflow with LibreOffice to propagate style changes between .doc files created from the same template? I looked at the documentation and help pages around the template manager, but found only means to copy styles manually.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Worldlabel templates and license
Hi, I have used these table style templates for 4 to 5 years. They are the only templates I use. They are extremely easy to adjust, the text is automatically centered in each label, adjusting the top margin for the page adjusts for printer variation, and the labels never have the text run like on the Microsoft style labels, where I've had label text shift enough by the time that you get 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the page some of the text is on the label above it, even though everything was fine at the top of the page.

[libreoffice-users] How get LibreO-Base working?
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen out there. I am confused -- can you help me? I recently installed LibreOffice-v3.4.5 after beeing a happy OO-user in many many years. I now need to make a couple of relational databases (subforms -reports) and decided to try LibreO's Base. On my main-PC (AMD Athlon II X3 445, Win7Prof/32bit) the LO's Base caused the program to stop (WriteCalc work OK). I uninstalled LO, removed folders via WinExplorer, rebooted, installed LOv3.4.5 again and when asked for a new JRE I tried to understand the instructions found and first installed JRE8 (jre-8-ea-bin-b21-windows-i586-13_jan_2012.exe) and then JRE7 (jre-7u2-windows-i586.exe) and loaded both as instructed into LO (LO-page: tools/options/LibreOffice/java). Now LO didn't stop but neither of the JREs seem to be sufficient /LibreO requires a JRE to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select and install a new JRE/ and then /connection to datasource (db-name) could not be established -- no Java installation could be found; check installation/. I did my best several times. Note. After doing exactly same install process on my laptop (Win7Prem/64bit) the LO(64bit), Base included, works fine. Did I do something wrong, wrong versions, is it the 32bit make of LO or the LO-Base itself, is the JRE(32bit) wrong, -- or what? I like the graphical interface but I don't want to go back to OO and I don't want to buy a MSAccess, and for my simple needs a MySQL/PHP/Apache seems too heavy to learn. Thanks in advance.

I like the Even on 64bit Windows OSes, you must use a 32bit Java JRE or JDK, a 64bit version won't work. You may well have installed 64bit versions of the JRE by mistake, but there was also a problem with recognition of JRE 1.7 by LibreOffice, and this was supposed to be fixed - perhaps it isn't yet in LO 3.4.5. I didn't even know JRE 1.8 was out, so that will probably not work either. If you can, try and find a 32bit JRE 1.6 to download and use instead, that should work.

If you can not work with simplified database tools, Base can't help you by any means. The main purpos of Base is connecting office documents to databases so you can feed your calculation models, serial letters and bibliographies with database data. This is straight forward and simple enough. But Base does not help you to plan a relational database nor does it help very much creating one.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Page orientation is a property of page styles - so if all your pages have the same page style they will all have the same orientation. If you change it, the change will apply to all pages. Perhaps all your pages have the Default (portrait) page style. There is a built-in Landscape page style which has the other orientation and may suit your purpose. o Put the cursor at the end of the last portrait page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Landscape from the drop-down list. o Now put the cursor at the end of the single landscape page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Default from the drop-down list. Each page break is associated with a change in page style: from Default to Landscape and back again. If these built-in page styles do not suffice, you can modify them or even create your own, of course. I trust this helps.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Page orientation is a property of page styles - so if all your pages have the same page style they will all have the same orientation. If you change it, the change will apply to all pages. Perhaps all your pages have the Default (portrait) page style. There is a built-in Landscape page style which has the other orientation and may suit your purpose. o Put the cursor at the end of the last portrait page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Landscape from the drop-down list. o Now put the cursor at the end of the single landscape page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select Page break. o Under Style, select Default from the drop-down list. Each page break is associated with a change in page style: from Default to Landscape and back again. If these built-in page styles do not suffice, you can modify them or even create your own, of course. I trust this helps. Brian Barker And make sure not to use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Enter.

With no Java being installed, I can connect a Base document to any non-Java database, write queries, draw input forms and use Calc as reporting engine. And I would state that that is an unusual user setup. The user here wants a relational database with subforms and reports and does not want to use mysql, so where does that leave him her with regard to Base - IMO, with HSQLDB, the stock db engine provided with LO. For that, you need a JRE/JDK. And Calc for reports is OK, much as is Writer, but for anything a bit more than a simple report, the user will have to deal with not only the idiosyncrasies of the respective tool used for creating the report, plus, in general, learn to use macros. The whole benefit of having a specific reporting tool (the Java based ORB extension) is that this is suppose to ease that pain. Personally, I'd love to be able to say, you get a great and easy to use db reporting engine without Java in LO, but that is simply not the case at the moment.

Re: [libreoffice-users] table - automatically copy text
Hi. If I understand you correctly, you can create fields and then have them displayed in other locations. I.e. entered in one place and displayed in many. steve On 2012-02-01 11:19, paulwhitehurst wrote: I'm using tables in swriter that have text in them. I would like to insert text and have the text copied to other cells automatically. I know I can enter numbers and insert a formula that copies the number from one cell into another. The same formula doesn't seem to work with text. Any help would be appreciated.

No, I'm not being factitious or disrespectful... but you keep claiming that this all works with your own build from Master I'd appreciate an answer. It even works for me with : LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) Provided by Ubuntu from the Oneiric repositories. I clicked on Other external data source, then Parameters, and chose Spreadsheet. It appears to work fine, as in I can thereafter press F4, select a tuple from the table, copy it into a Writer document, the merge data wizard starts up, and I can choose how I want the data merged.
