Re: [libreoffice-users] mail merge duplicates entries
Hi :) I had some very strange results, not quite the same, recently on one Xp machine. Opening files with MS Office 2010 was a problem but the same files viewed with LibreOffice were fine. When i updated my anti-virus it found and removed quite weird little files. Suddenly the files opened fine in MS Office 2010 too, without even rebooting or anything. It's unlikely that LibreOffice would be affected by malware but anything is possible.

RE: [libreoffice-users] CVE-2012-0337
Hi :) I think it would be good to post it here too. It's unusual for LibreOffice to suffer anything like it. In almost any other program it wouldn't have even been reported as it's so trivial. Just another patch for just another unlikely exploit. You basically have to be passing the document backwards and forwards without changing formats with someone you think of as reasonably friendly but who is actually fairly evil and who has a fairly unusually high skill level and knowledge-base. I think the not changing formats part of that is fairly unlikely at the moment. Their skill level is an issue too. Perhaps most people on this list could do it fairly easily but the average skill level here is far higher than the vast majority of office workers. With LO or other OpenSource programs such things are rare enough that they become big News stories. Regards from Tom :) --- On Fri, 23/3/12, Dennis E.

[libreoffice-users] formatting emails
Interesting problem: An email text is received which you need to format for publication. The email uses a carriage return at the end of each line, and a double carriage return for paragraph spacing. What I'd like to do is remove the cr's at the end of each line, so the text can be justified, and turn the double cr's into paragraph controls, or just leave as double cr's. Obviously all this can be done a line at a time by hand, but it's a pain. Is there any way someone can suggest to automate this?

The recommendation is to stay with the only cross ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2-conforming encryption of Save with Password by default, while accepting the newer optional ones (including AES256) on input. The patch and bug report for LibreOffice 3.5.x is here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47484. If anyone thinks a license statement is needed from me to change two defaults from sal_False to sal_True I will be happy to provide it. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Dennis E. Hamilton [mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 13:24 To: 'ooo-...@incubator.apache.org' Subject: RE: [RELEASE,CODE]: Bug 119090 - Default Encryption Fails for Down-Level Implementations [ ... ] The current builds of OOo-dev 3.4 (from Oracle) and all Apache OpenOffice 3.4 developer previews install with Save with Password pre-wired to encrypt using AES256-cbc and SHA256, and SHA256-1k digests, in conflict with the Blowfish CFB and SHA1, SHA1/1K digests that are all that down-level versions of OpenOffice-lineage and ODF 1.1 consumers can decrypt*d4e2h2* , including Lotus Symphony, Libre Office prior to 3.5.x, and OpenOffice.or 3.3.0 (and earlier). There is no dialog that notifies users that the encryption cannot be decrypted with earlier versions. Changing the behavior requires knowing how to manipulate configuration settings. There is no UI or Tools | Options dialog for this. Fortunately, whichever default is used for Save with Password, both forms of encryption are accepted when opening a document. THE PROPOSAL: Change the default so that the ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2-compatible and conformant encryption is used (Blowfish CFB and SHA1 for digests). Users who want to produce documents using AE256, despite the loss of interoperability with all consumers but those who can accept AE256 -- LO 3.5.x, OO.o-dev 3.4, and AOO 3.4+ -- can still change their configuration files to alter the default behavior on ODF 1.2 Save with Password. THE PATCH: There is a simple two-line patch to reverse the default behavior when there is no over-ride in the user configuration. This is provided with r119090: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119090. This patch needs to be approved and accepted. (As a committer, I could have actually applied it. I didn't want that done without review first, so this is an RTC submission.) THE BENEFIT: Non-expert users will not be surprised by the misleading failure of their password to work when using a machine with an older version of OO-line software. (The error message suggests that the file is damaged, not that the encryption is not understood.) In addition, files that are encrypted using AES will also be decryptable by these new releases without the user having to figure anything out. THE DEBATE: There is extensive technical discussion on the Bugzilla comments. Here is a summary of what all of that technicality is about: 1. Some presume that switching to AES256 increases the security of the document. 2. The counter-argument is that it does no good to improve the security in parts of the encryption that do not improve the security of the weakest-link in the encryption technique. It will simply give a false sense of security where there is no improvement. The weak link in ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2 encryption is the way that passwords are used. Not in the encryption technique that is used for the document. All of the extensive technical material is about explaining how it is that (2) is the case and that doing (1) simply inconveniences users and raises technical and reputation issues. - Dennis PS: An equivalent patch has also been contributed to LibreOffice for remedying the fact that the change to AES has been instituted in LO 3.5.x .)

Obviously all this can be done a line at a time by hand, but it's a pain. Is there any way someone can suggest to automate this? Yes. First recombining the lines into paragraphs: o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options, and tick Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than 50%. o Go to Format | AutoCorrect | Apply. Notes: o You may need to reduce that value of 50% to make the facility work properly in your case. Click on the text of the option and the Edit... button below will light up and enable you to edit the 50% value to a suitable smaller one. o Applying AutoCorrect will make other changes to your text - which you may not want. You can avoid this in two ways: either switch off unwanted changes in the AutoCorrect dialogue or - more easily - use Format | AutoCorrect | Apply and Edit Changes instead. Then choose Edit Changes when challenged. Now click the Comment column header in the Accept or Reject AutoFormat Changes panel; this sorts all the changes of a particular type together. Select all the Combine paragraphs lines together (using Shift-click or Shift-arrow in the usual way) and click Accept. Now click Reject All to reject all other changes. Now to remove empty paragraphs: o In the Find Replace dialogue, click More Options, and then tick Regular expressions. o Search for ^$ - that's circumflex-dollar - and replace with nothing. I trust this helps.
