[libreoffice-users] Re: Make a form that allows user to drag and drop in an image
Hi Drew, It looks amazing now, and the functionality is great. I am especially glad that it will work in Linux, Mac, and Windows! Were you going to write an explanation for the code, or just the form? Either way, if you can start a draft, I can help word smith it (probably by asking you questions about it). I think this is so useful, perhaps it can be integrated into the standard LibreOffice Base macro set???

[libreoffice-users] Bullets in .doc/.docx documents always become ^?
Hello, This is a problem I've been encountering since the old OpenOffice days: Whenever I open a .doc or .docx document created with Micro$oft Office, bullet points in it always become ^s (sans quotes and s).

[libreoffice-users] Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hello, This is a question I asked in ask.libreoffice.org, but did not get a useful reply: I've got the latest Impress running on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8. (but this problem existed in previous versions, too) For the past few months I tried really really hard to make all my presentations with Impress. The big problem is that it's performance is the exact opposite of snappy. (what is a good antonym for snappy?) After adding images (they are each just 500-800kb JPGs) to, say, 20 slides, Impress grinds almost to a halt. Things respond 1-2 seconds after the mouse click. This is especially frustrating when clicking, holding, the dragging, because there is always a 1-2 second lag between each step. For instance, if I click and drag the corner of an image to resize it, the motion is not smooth, but rather occurs in jumps. Another instance would be when I click on a slide to select/show it in the main window. If I move the mouse cursor away after clicking on a slide, the lag makes Impress think I am dragging and re-ordering the slide! And of course there is a few seconds delay here as well. So my question is: What's wrong that's making Impress perform so poorly?? My Mac has a Intel Core i7 2.66 gHz CPU, advanced Nvidia GT 330M graphics, and 8.0 GB of memory, it should be overkill for something like this! I tried tweaking the number of objects kept in memory, size of objects, etc. to no avail. Is it just because Impress has poor performance? (in which case I think it really need to be improved) Or am I doing something wrong??? M$ PowerPoint and Apple Keynote works beautifully and snappily, but I wish I could use Impress!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hi :) Impress is not brilliant. It's getting there but i think most of the work went into Writer and Calc. There are alternatives that each have slightly different aims. However, 500-800Kb images are quite large. If you open one of the images with Gimp (or something) you could resize the image down to something smaller than bill-board sized. Since the issue is possibly more important for websites it is easier to find a How To such as these http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Lite_Quickies/ http://kerryshamblin.com/index.php?page=tutorial-web-images-gimp http://www.ahotw.com/2008/08/09/gimp-image-cropping-for-web/ http://www.geekazine.com/guests/basic-gimp-preparing-pictures-for-the-web I guess Ponderous is an antonym of snappy but it doesn't quite convey the frustration quite as well as the way you used. Plus it's waaay outside the vocabulary range of most native-English speakers. Apparently the average is around 100-250 words (depending on which study you read).

Hi :) That sounds very unusual. There is a nice little selection of different bullet-points and i've not noticed any that look like that. Have you tried renaming your User Profile?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Merging two different spreadsheets in Calc

It's perhaps worth saying that you probably cannot conveniently learn how to construct a spreadsheet by asking general questions on a mailing list such as this. You would probably be well advised to learn about spreadsheets somehow - perhaps by reading the help text, consulting help locally from friends or colleagues, reading guides (perhaps from the library), or attending a course. I get a .txt from our supplier every month with 101,961 part numbers, prices and more. I have a list of items we stock or have stocked - it also has part numbers but also has where we put them and how many we have - this has 1280 numbers. What I want to do is make one list with all the info from the two. I have two files with the data in .ods format. You might find it convenient first to copy or import the data in one file as a second sheet within the other file, but this is not necessary to achieve what you desire, in fact: you can refer to data in the other document file directly if you prefer. Can they be merged based on the part number? That's the only common info and they start at top left on both files. What exactly do you hope to see? I'm guessing that your data is in columns and that you want a copy of the larger list - with however many columns that already has - along with extra columns to contain the information from the smaller list where a row for that particular item exists in that list. You can do this by adding formulae in *all* the rows of the additional columns in the larger list that will carry the data harvested from the smaller list. The VLOOKUP() function will search for and retrieve the data you need. o The first parameter of the function needs to be the search criterion: in your case, this will simply be the part number - probably in your first column. o The second parameter is the array that will be searched: this is the whole of the data area of your second, smaller list. o The third parameter is the index of the column in your smaller list that will be picked up in each case: this may well be 2 for your first additional column, 3 for your second, and so on. o The fourth parameter needs to be FALSE (or zero) in order that rows that do not have corresponding data in the second sheet return an error instead of a nearby value. A few extra notes: o If you construct the formula carefully in one cell, you can copy or fill it into many columns of your very many rows and the spreadsheet will modify the formula as it is copied so as to create a unique version in each cell that will achieve what you need. o To prevent references to your smaller list data from moving as the formula is filled or copied, you will need judicious inclusion of the $ character to freeze those references. o With the fourth parameter set to FALSE, your formulae will return #N/A (meaning value not available) where there is no corresponding row in the smaller list. If you want such cells instead to be empty, you could use the ISNA() function to recognise this case and replace the error indication with nothing. So your final formula (in the first row of the first additional column) may look something like this: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1;stocklist;2 ;0));;VLOOKUP(A1;stocklist;2 ;0)) If the VLOOKUP() fails to find a value, the error value is replaced by a null string; otherwise the VLOOKUP() value is used. It would be the reference to your stock list that would have to contain the $ signs: if it extended from A1 to (perhaps?) C1280, then the array would have to appear as $A$1:$C$1280 (not just A1:C1280). As I say, you would have to gain some fluency with using spreadsheets before you could make any use of what I have suggested. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing MySQL Connector
Huge Snip Tom and Dan, Thank you for your kind replies. I was almost expecting a lynch mob outside my front door this morning! To Dan: Thanks for the fine links. They look very good. I have now read them (Base part) and shall later begin to work them in practice. If I only had had this fine basic info not only in January but fifteen years ago! Some questions: 1 These drafts are written for OpenO (v3.2-3.3) in 2010 -- are they still drafts or are they final? 2 do they apply also to LibreO -- if yes, from what version on (LibO3.4.xx)? 3 I may have some ideas to propose -- to whom is it best to address them; can I get a separate mail address or shall I handle them on this mailing list? Best regards Pertti Rönnberg These are all drafts and apply to LO 3.4.6. I haven't checked against 3.5.x just yet because it is not stable enough yet. Base has not changed very much since it was first introduced in OOo 2.0.0, so the principles contained in them apply even today.I am doing a rewrite for LO 3.4.6 for the first 4 chapters: Introducing Base, Planning/Designing Your Database, Data Input and Removal, and Data Output. While still a draft, the first 2 chapters for LO are on the Document Foundation website: (These are a newer than the OOo draft chapters in the link I mentioned earlier) http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications/. Proposals are welcome!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [final beta] includes LO 3.5.1.2

[libreoffice-users] problems with document conversion
this problem just bit me in my job hunt. Apparently for the past two or three months, I've been sending out resumes and cover letters in Microsoft Word DOC format and they were garbled sometimes simply margin errors sometimes completely unreadable. Usually, I started with the standard odt format and converted to doc. occasionally I would do couple revisions in the .doc form and then convert back to ODF for my baseline. I was using revisions 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 this really hurts because there were a lot of really good jobs that I qualified for but didn't get any responses to. I'm not saying that the document conversion problem was the sole cause but it didn't help my application any. :-) what I need help with is determining if conversion is going to be an ongoing problem in which point, I migrate to Jarta or equivalent. If it's not an ongoing problem, was it a procedural one. That I did something wrong in the handling of documents that caused it to become corrupt? For example, should I always start with the odt format and convert out words to PDF and DOC? And last, is detection of a failed conversion? Would it make sense for me to use jarta to verify document conversion. if it is a procedural error and I need to start from odt as the primary source, is there any way to automate the production of alternative formats? For example, if I'm saving a file, can I also do document conversion at the same time and save both PDF and DOC format files. Thank you for any help in resolving this problem. --- eric PS no, PDF is not always a solution.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice/OpenOffice - bullets/numbering between Open* formats and MicroSoft
I use Ubuntu at home and the office but I do have to communicate with the outside world which unfortunately uses lots of MicroSoft Office in various flavors.. I've found that I can't (currently using OpenOffice) maintain bullets or outline numbering between .odt and .doc formats which is probably no surprise to anyone. Sure would be nice if someone had a fix for this issue as I see it's not unique to me. Especially since I only use Ubuntu and especially at home since I have no access to MicroSoft Word in any flavor. My other issue is that with the OpenOffice that came native with my Ubuntu 10.04 I can't download LibreOffice for testing without blowing my OpenOffice away. That doesn't seem like a very friendly way of doing business because what if I truly don't like LibreOffice once I get it loaded? Not saying that I won't but I've been in the computer business since 1964 and know that not is all as it seems 8-) At this point I'm working on a project that needs to get done in a couple of days that uses outline numbering that also needs to be accessible to MicroSoft users. I'm sort of up a tree with not quite knowing what to do. Any help appreciated. Sincerely, David M.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hi, I would try downsizing the pictures such as Tom suggested. I don't do much work in Impress, and I run Ubuntu. I upgraded my brother's laptop on Monday to Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2. The computer is 4 years old, and has a minimal dual core processor and 3 gigs of memory. I installed LibreOffice 3.5.2 direct from the Document foundation site. He does a lot of work with power point shows, many of which are sent to him created in Microsoft. I wanted to make sure they were working. All were in Microsoft format, several with the pptx format. I tested about 7 of them, and all worked fine without any lag whatsoever. I do not know how big the picture sizes were, but with the high end hardware you have, I am surprised you are having an issue. Picture size is the only thing I can think of.

There are alternatives that each have slightly different aims. However, 500-800Kb images are quite large.

(but this problem existed in previous versions, too) For the past few months I tried really really hard to make all my presentations with Impress. The big problem is that it's performance is the exact opposite of snappy. (what is a good antonym for snappy?) After adding images (they are each just 500-800kb JPGs) to, say, 20 slides, Impress grinds almost to a halt. Things respond 1-2 seconds after the mouse click. This is especially frustrating when clicking, holding, the dragging, because there is always a 1-2 second lag between each step. For instance, if I click and drag the corner of an image to resize it, the motion is not smooth, but rather occurs in jumps. Another instance would be when I click on a slide to select/show it in the main window. If I move the mouse cursor away after clicking on a slide, the lag makes Impress think I am dragging and re-ordering the slide! And of course there is a few seconds delay here as well. So my question is: What's wrong that's making Impress perform so poorly?? My Mac has a Intel Core i7 2.66 gHz CPU, advanced Nvidia GT 330M graphics, and 8.0 GB of memory, it should be overkill for something like this! I tried tweaking the number of objects kept in memory, size of objects, etc. to no avail. Is it just because Impress has poor performance? (in which case I think it really need to be improved) Or am I doing something wrong??? M$ PowerPoint and Apple Keynote works beautifully and snappily, but I wish I could use Impress!

Apparently for the past two or three months, I've been sending out resumes and cover letters in Microsoft Word DOC format and they were garbled sometimes simply margin errors sometimes completely unreadable. Usually, I started with the standard odt format and converted to doc. occasionally I would do couple revisions in the .doc form and then convert back to ODF for my baseline. I was using revisions 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 this really hurts because there were a lot of really good jobs that I qualified for but didn't get any responses to. I'm not saying that the document conversion problem was the sole cause but it didn't help my application any. :-) what I need help with is determining if conversion is going to be an ongoing problem in which point, I migrate to Jarta or equivalent. If it's not an ongoing problem, was it a procedural one. That I did something wrong in the handling of documents that caused it to become corrupt? For example, should I always start with the odt format and convert out words to PDF and DOC? And last, is detection of a failed conversion? Would it make sense for me to use jarta to verify document conversion. if it is a procedural error and I need to start from odt as the primary source, is there any way to automate the production of alternative formats? For example, if I'm saving a file, can I also do document conversion at the same time and save both PDF and DOC format files. Thank you for any help in resolving this problem. --- eric PS no, PDF is not always a solution. Many agencies and companies here in the states only accept doc/docx format documents I usually save to MSO formats last. Can you use RTF format instead of doc/docx. Word opens RTF and it is not a format that does not contain macros. If you can post a typical document either online with a link or via Nabble we can see what is happening.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice/OpenOffice - bullets/numbering between Open* formats and MicroSoft
David: You should probably be aware that the automatic bullet feature (and the automatic numbering feature) in Microsoft Word does not place the appropriate characters within the text, as it seems to do, but simulates them by means of templates that are stored in another part of the file (if I understand correctly). When a text containing bullets added by this feature is opened in a different application the bullets may change to different characters, or to numbers, or may be lost completely. I presume something similar happens when the process is reversed. I would strongly advocate not using this feature at all but, if you want bullets, to add them explicitly as characters. For outline numbering or dynamic numbering generally I don’t think there is any solution other than substituting the actual numbers as plain text before converting a document. -- 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] [Announce] HyperSQL 2.2.8 Released
http://hsqldb.org/ HyperSQL was selected as the SourceForge Project of the Month for January 2012 and is featured on SourceForge.net home page. An interview with core developers is published here. HyperSQL 2.2.8 Released HSQLDB (HyperSQL DataBase) is the leading SQL relational database engine written in Java. It supports nearly full ANSI-92 SQL (BNF format) and full core SQL:2008. It offers a small, fast multithreaded and transactional database engine with in-memory and disk-based tables and supports embedded and server modes. It includes tools such as a command line SQL tool and GUI query tools. HSQLDB supports the widest range of SQL Standard features seen in any open source database engine: SQL:2008 core language features and an extensive list of SQL:2008 optional features. Many extensions to the Standard, including features of other popular database engines, are also supported. HyperSQL is a platform independent Java program which does not require any installation. Just extract the downloaded zip archive to some place and add ./lib/hsqldb.jar to the Java class path in the LibreOffice options. HyperSQL 2.2.8 is downward compatible with the embedded database engine of LibreOffice. You can easily convert your embedded databases to real ones which gives you several advantages: - A modern database engine with more functionality than the embedded version 1.8. - A high level of data safety because the database will not be destroyed when the office crashes which is a big issue with embedded LibreOffice databases. - Security by means of user privileges and optional data encryption. Embedded HSQLDB provides full access to anyone. - You can start the database engine as a service and connect multiple LibreOffice clients with different user log-ins. Encrypted connections are supported. - And you can connect LibreOffice to the local copy of HyperSQL directly (cached mode analog to the embedded database). For a better Base experience!

You can also check here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all Debian and other derivatives have similar sites: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all http://packages.trisquel.info/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all (actually, identical) TDF could keep a record to distribution-specific records/links such as the above, I think it's useful, but ultimately it's each distro's job to make that information available (which they do, see above).

[libreoffice-users] Calc: cell protection + cut paste
Hello, I made really nice project for my customer with Calc because we didn't want to use Excel, but now we are in trouble, because in Calc you can't protect the formulas in cells from cust + paste modifications. Cells are protected and documentation says that when the cells are protected you are not able to modify the formula. But that's unfortunately not true. If a protected cell reads data from non protected cell and the user decides to cut + paste the information, the orginal formula in the protected cell will be modified. And that's a very bad behaviour in my opinion. It should prevent cut + paste, because to allowing to do the cut + paste requires modification of the formula and that should not be allowed since the cell is protected. It's totally impossible to tell customer to undo exact the same cut + paste that he/she just did. Especially they propably wont notice the mistake until it's too late. Does anyone have any usable solution for us? I'm are getting desperate here because I need to fix these errors every week. Is this a known bug or is this designed behaviour? I'm really keen to know because if this is a real feature, then we have no choice but to use something else here.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LOo 3.5.1.2 upgrade in Ubuntu Natty does not 'see' old templates
Hi Fabian, I've been using Ubuntu for 3+ years. A few years ago I had some issues with the Ubuntu OpenOffice packages. It might not have been their fault since I had non-repo versions installed when I did an upgrade. To fix that problem, I did a complete uninstall of the Ubuntu version and installed the official OpenOffice version. Ever since then I've used only the official OpenOffice version before LibreOffice came along, and the official LibreOffice version from http://www.libreoffice.org/. they aren't as pretty, but functionality has been very good. I've been running 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 and also 12.04 Beta 2 without any issues. And the recent documents function works perfectly fine in the LibreOffice version in Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 Beta 2. Here is how I do my install: (This is for the 64 bit version.) Download LibO_3.5.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the desktop. Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the folder LibO_3.5.2rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US Run the following terminal commands to install it: 1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* 2. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.2rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb 3. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.2rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5-202_all.deb If you need help for the 32 bit version, please let me know.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hello, Thanks for your quick replies! I really don't think my pictures are too big at all! I've made slideshows with Apple Keynote or Micro$oft Powerpoint with almost a hundred slides, that were very multimedia heavy (including videos, high resolution images in MBs each, etc.), and they run *flawlessly* with transitions, etc. I also tried installing LibreOffice on other Macs, and get the same problem. In all cases they grind to a halt as soon as I begin adding things other than pure text/bullet points to the slides... Sounds like this is an issue specific to LibreOffice Impress running on the Mac??? Am I the only person experiencing these performance issues? But if so, why did the other Macs I tried this on also have the problem? I think LibreOffice should be built so that it can handle multimedia rich presentations in Impress! I would really like to find a solution to this, but otherwise I guess I need to stick with Apple Keynote for the foreseeable future... :( -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Consistently-poor-Impress-performance-in-Mac-OS-X-tp3901702p3904074.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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hi :) You are welcome. I think i would move in 3 directions at roughly the same time. Hmmm, well maybe i wouldn't go for the 3rd option as my coding is probably fairly lousy 1. Keep using the one that does work, ie Apple Keynote but still use Writer and Calc etc, just not Impress except for just playing around 2. Test the idea about shrinking some of the images (byte-wise not in physical size) using Gimp (which is free and OpenSource 3. Join the Devs Team for a little while and maybe try working on an Easy Hack or 2 and see if i could build-up to working on Impress to improve it. Even if you don't get that far it might free-up some time for other devs to look into Impress more. 4. Get a couple of mates to join in with the coding idea as a race to see who gets the furthest fastest, perhaps make it part of Google's Summer of Code or a college project or something.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X
Hi :) I think if you can find an individual bug-report or two then you could add a comment or try to raise their importance level but the chances are that they would get reset. Stuill a comment might be good even if the devs hate that sort of thing. The GnuLinux version is probably extremely similar to the Mac one. Both Mac (a version of Bsd) and GnuLinux are Unix-based platforms so most of the code is identical. Allegedly a lot of devs are not aware of the subtle differences in Bsd and so they end up making the code a little less likely to work quite so well on a Bsd platform such as Mac. The Windows version is very different apparently. I have no idea how GSoC works. Perhaps google it? (sorry!)

If you do this, you also need to download the latest User Guide from hsqldb.org to learn all the new things that HSQLDB can do that Base cannot.

They differ from their name sake primarily by the windows manager they use and the collection of file managers, editors, etc they promote. They only really 'retain' their low overhead IF you use all the packages they promote. As a word processor, I think both use AbiWord. At the moment I am using xubuntu. Well actually xfce file manager over the top of 11.10 ubuntu -- primarily to regain a typical menu driven desktop rather than Unity, which is really nice and glitzy but atrocious as a business interface. If you intent is to use libreoffice then your main concern will be how well it integrates with the file and windows manager for whatever linux version you choose. Personally I would download the ISOs for the few distros mentioned and *install them*. They are free except for the download costs. If you download the DEB files for libreoffice you will also be able to install it over and over without re-downloading it. Why install rather than use the Live CD? Personally I find this is the only real way of evaluating a distro with a particular hardware configuration. For example, Ubuntu 11.10 sucks at recognizing my twin-head screens. xfce just worked right out of the box. Go figure. I suggest you clear your hard drive of all data and set aside an evening. Load xubuntu from scratch then install libreoffice. Throw on one of you most complex documents and spreadsheets and have a play. If the machine is sluggish try lubuntu or any other low-memory dependent distro. Once you have chosen a distro then customize it and work through the inevitable issues that appear when setting up a new operating system. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator / Website Administrator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Pythonhttp://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting -- 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] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [final beta] includes LO 3.5.1.2
Hi :) Thanks :) Err i didn't mean to get rid of the machine. I've got an older one that i am trying to get basic officey things and a web-browser working on. Hence my interest in Lubuntu as i chickened out of going distro-hopping this time and just want something fairly familiar. I should go with SliTaz as it's interesting and would have loads of elbow room. Then i might have more luck with a couple of even older machines that have some sentimental value.

Perhaps ask in DistroWatch crazy little weekly Reader's Comments thread http://distrowatch.com/ (err and then navigate to their weekly 'magazine type of thing and view all comments so you can add you own at the bottom. They tend to get a bit crazy in there until they are given a problem of finding the 'best' distro for a particular machine and for what you want. Alternatively, or at the same time, ask somewhere in http://www.linuxquestions.org People get quite excited about all this sort of thing so you have to be clear about what you want to use the machine for, eg gaming platform, server, web-browsing and officey stuff, multimedia centre, whatever and don't worry about people being rude as they just can't help it and it can be funny to watch the steam coming out of their ears. I'm getting quite into the idea of trying Lubuntu which is very much lighter than Ubuntu (what isn't!?!) but there are tons of choices. Mageia is nice and was based on Mandriva which was one of the prettiest distros. I tend to download a few different distros and make a Live Usb (bootable usb-stick) or LiveCd/Dvd and then just try them out to see what works best and which i like the look of on a particular machine. A fun day playing around :) Most distros now include LibreOffice by default but you can always download and install the official TDF version from the LibreOffice website. Ubuntu is made to compete with the latest Windows on top-spec machines. It's not really made for old or low-spec ones even with all the effects turned right down it can be a bit heavy.

My other issue is that with the OpenOffice that came native with my Ubuntu 10.04 I can't download LibreOffice for testing without blowing my OpenOffice away.

Not saying that I won't but I've been in the computer business since 1964 and know that not is all as it seems 8-) That is not an issue at all. Forget all the other advise telling you to uninstall OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice (LO). When you install LO, it installs in the /opt directory and doesn't touch your installed OOo application. Download both the tar.tz files for Debian - https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect: clink on Linux (deb): and your architecture (x86 for 32bit or x86_64 for 64bit). That will link you to (32 bit in this example): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86 Select your language (English (US)?): That gets you to: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86lang=en-US Click on the 3.4.6 (you can install 3.5 later if you wish and even run 3.4 + 3.5 + OOo 3.2 in parallel at the same time) and download both the Main installer and the Help file. Those will download as: LibO_3.4.6_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz and LibO_3.4.6_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz Open Nautilus and right click on the tar.gz and select 'Extract here' for both files. That will create two directories: LibO_3.4.6rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US and LibO_3.4.6rc2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US Open a terminal and cd to LibO_3.4.6rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS. Install: /LibO_3.4.6rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb That will install LO into the /opt directory as /opt/libreoffice3.4. Now do the same for the help file: /LibO_3.4.6rc2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Now create a menu by installing the desktop integration deb: /LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration$ dpkg -i *.deb I don't currently have a 10.04 installed, so if that gives you errors don't try to install the again, and instead create your own menu.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: cell protection + cut paste
miakoiv wrote (11-04-12 20:32) If a protected cell reads data from non protected cell and the user decides to cut + paste the information, the orginal formula in the protected cell will be modified. I don't get this. When data, that is used in a formula is changed, removed, the result of the formula will change, not the formula. Example: A1: 1 B1: 2 C1: =A1+B1 (result: 3) A2: 2 B2: 1 C2: =A2+B2 (result: 3) Now you protect cells C1 and C2. Now this is an important spreadsheet to customer and their employees fill the data to cells A1, A2, B1, B2. And it's of course important that the calculations are correct. Now the customer enters data to A1 which was supposed to go to A2. He/She cuts the data from A1 and pastes the data to cell A2. This is the result: (he/she wanted to enter 1 to A2, but entered it to A1 and then cut + pasted it to A2. Then he/she entered number 2 to A1) A1: 2 B1: 2 C1: =A2+B1 (result: 3) A2: 1 B2: 1 C2: =A2+B2 (result: 2) So the formula in C1 is now A2+B1 which is different than A1+B1 so it changed. And since the cell is protected, you can't change it back to correct one unless you cut + paste again. But if the formulas are also hidden, then it's totally impossible to fix it anymore. I've heard some comments like This is expected and wanted behaviour in all spreadsheet applications., but then I would like to ask what's the point of protection when you can't protect the formulas from even the simpliest user errors? I know that this happens in Excel too, but there you are able to prevent user from using cut+paste (and if googled, you'll notice that people use this quite much just for this reeason). If this is a wanted behaviour, it should atleast give a warning to the user. Are you sure you want to cut + paste data? It will modify protected formulas and you won't be able to fix those anymore and you will get wrong results afterwards?
