[libreoffice-users] [3.4.4/Win] Printing spreadsheet as landscape?
Hello Using LibreOffice Calc 3.4.4, I created a small spreadsheet that should print as a single page in Lanscape mode, but Calc insists on printing as two pages. Here's what I tried: 1. File Printer Settings chose printer Properties : Orientation=Landscape OK 2. File Page Preview : Document is shown in Portrait 3. File Print General Properties : Orientation=Portrait, so changed this to Landscape Back in the Print dialog, in the preview on the left, document is still printed on two pages :-/ http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3113/libreofficecalclanscape.jpg Any idea?

[libreoffice-users] Paste Special issues in 3.4.4 - 64-bit .deb
After using the 3.4.4 version on a 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 system, I came across an error. The Paste Special option in Writer seems not to work. I have not tried it in the other modules, since I had not needed to use it for them before. Yesterday was the first time I used that option since moving from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4. It did nothing. Using Paste worked, but I wanted to have the text inserted as unformatted. What I did was copy some info from a web site and pasted it into a document that would later be emailed. I did not want the HTML formatting to be there. I have done this many times with 3.4.3 and it worked fine, but 3.4.4 did not when I tried it. I know that there is a 3.4.5 version out, but right now I am using 3.4.4 and if I found this issue, people I deal with might ask me about this issue. I have given out many 3.4.4 DVDs [not as many 3.4.3 though] so if there is an issue with Paste Special, on Windows and not just with the 64-bit .deb version, then I need to know about it. SO, has any other users tried the Paste Special option in Writer? -- 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] Paste Special issues in 3.4.4 - 64-bit .deb
I am using Debian testing AMD64 architecture. Right now I am using LO 3.4.5, because it entered Debian repository, but I had 3.4.4 before. I did not notice any problems with paste special. On 3.4.5 it works fine, too. It is possible that this issue is package-specific. How did you install LO? Is it from LO website, PPA repository or Ubuntu main repository (I believe they call main section universe)? More details could help to track down your issue, so please mind answering following questions: 1. How does did nothing reveal itself? Paste special window never comes out, there is only one option in that window or all options product same result (formatted text)? 2. How do you try to paste special? Are you using keyboard or select Edit → Paste special form menu? 3. Is it Writer-specific or does it happen on each app in LO suite? (You said that you did not try; I think that you should before posting on the list, it would only take one minute or so and this could be valuable information.) 4. Can you reproduce the problem on default config? You can create new user and try on it. You can rename your LO profile (mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice-old). You can run LO like that: soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/lo-config/ (note that this is file protocol and absolute path, therefore three slashes) -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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] Mailmerge, working, fairly well, but...
Ok, I've got mailmerge working, fairly well, ish. It seems a little unhelpful that the view field names overrides conditional hidden paragraphs, completely nullifies their effect even on printing it seems. It cetainly should nullify their effect during edit, but not printing imnvho. Anyway, what I need now is conditional hidden graphics according to database field. Not pick a graphic, just show a selected graphic if a database field is a certain value. In case you're wondering, this is so I can print either a first clas stamp image or second, depending whether the address is outside the UK. Since the graphic isn't in a paragraph it looks like that strategy won't work, and I can't see another way of doing it at the moment. Macros?

I must say that 3.4.5 from the LO website does not have this problem. --Dan First I downloaded 3.4.4 from the LO download page. I run 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with GNOME 2.x as the desktop and have KDE installed as well. I run a quad-core AMD Phenom system. I had 3.4.3, on the system and installed 3.4.4 a few days/weeks after Nov 9th, which is the date I downloaded it. Second The Paste Special is not grayed out, but neither clicking on the listing or using the keyboard short-cut works. As far as I can remember, I do not remember using that option since I installed it. Actually I do not remember the last time I needed to use it. So it could have been an issue with 3.4.4 from the install or it could have crept up sometime after the install. Since I do not know when was the last time I needed to use that option, I could have after the 3.4.4 install, or not. As for what happens Nothing happens. It is like I did not click on a menu listing at all. No dialog box opens or text pasted. The standard paste option worked fine. As for Writer specific, well I have not tried it with Calc. I did rename the .libreoffice folder to .libreoffice--old and opened Writer up. Well the first thing I noticed was it did not give me the default first-time use menus to give my name, and such. That was different for the last time I renamed the hidden folder. Actually this time it did bring up the dialog box. So it must have been an issue with the .libreoffice hidden folder. The question is why did it not bring up the menus that asked for my information like a clean install would do. As I said, the last time I renamed the folder, I got that set of menus. It do have to reinstall all my templates and extensions though. So there still is a problem with 3.4.4 on my system. Maybe I should just delete the current folder and install 3.4.5 now. Debian has 3.4.5 on its repository now? Ubuntu 10.04 seems to have 3.4.4 currently, I think. I did not go to 11.04 or 11.10 since I do not like Unity. -- 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

To be honest, I do not know if having this dialog box pop up during the install is useful or not. I do not fill most of the blanks for the needed information. I tend not to have that info attached to the document. I would prefer to give out that info only to those who need it or those I want to have it.

I was thinking about it till they stated about not being able to keep GNOME 2.x desktop for their distro. I installed Mint 12 and could not find how to get access to the menus of packages. There was no panel to get access to anything with. So it was not working on that old test system. Well, when I tried 11.10 on a P4 server, it insisted on installing Unity and would not allow me to change to any other desktop. I assume that you do not have your system auto-login. Last time I tried 11.10, I had to go through a login screen and it did not allow for a change of desktops. I could not even get to the system settings to deep enough to force the change. So I wonder which GNOME option would be the same as the default one for 10.04/GNOME? Every system I have to try a new OS on is too slow to run Unity. Maybe I will be able to get one to work with 11.10. Actually I had a 10.10 with GNOME and KDE installed, and the update/upgrade to 11.04 decided that I did not want/need KDE and it un-installed all of my needed KDE packages I use on a daily or weekly basis. So you see why I did not want to deal with 11.04 or 11.10 for my default system. -- 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] .doc set by default problem
Hi :) I'm not sure what is going wrong here. After setting the new defaults using the drop-downs you have to click on the Ok button. Then when saving a document you often get a weird pop-up that instead of having 2 options Cancel and Ok it has 2 options Keep current format (in the position you would expect to find Cancel) and Use Odf format (in the position you would expect to find the Ok button). Apparently the 3.5.0 version finally got around to making that rather confusing pop-up into something much less confusing.

The document title changed at the top to Untitled 1.doc. Also, I located a new file, Untitled 1.doc in my home folder where I saved it. One other point: if you are sending you doc files by email, you might try this: File Send Email as Microsoft Word. With this, you can save the file as an .odt file and then send it as a .doc file. For example, save the file as simple.odt. Sending this file as an email as Microsoft word, and your email client opens an email with the attachment sample.doc.
