[libreoffice-users] How do I switch off auto html on Libre Office spreadsheets
It is infuriating to have e-mail addresses on a spreadsheet, or other documents for that matter - automatically going into html format, so that every time you just touch a cell with an e-mail address you generate a blank e-mail to that address. I managed to kill it with MS - how do I do this with Libre Office?

Hi :) Brilliant!! Thanks :) I had always assumed i was stuck with that behaviour! Now i just need to find how to do the equivalent on a stupid Access database!

[libreoffice-users] Impress full screen question
I have created a presentation, and want to display as a slide show in full screen (projector) without the window border or title bar or meny bar showing. I suspect Impress can do it, since that is how it displays the .pps presentations I get by email; how do I get Impress to do this for MY presentation ? Finally, the only way I found to display my presentation in full-screen, without any window border, title bat or menu bar is as follows: Save the presentation as a .pps file Boot up Windows, Show .pps using (free) MS Powerpoint Viewer. A bit sad it cannot be done with L.O. under Linux ;-3( Cheers, Ron. -- Personne n'aime les missionnaires armés; et le premier conseil que donnent la nature et la prudence, c'est de les repousser comme des ennemis. -- Maximilien Robespierre -- http://www.olgiati-in-paraguay.org -- -- 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] How do I link data from a LibreOffice Database (linked to a MySQL Server) to a LibreOffice Spreadsheet?
Hi. I'm on a Mac and trying to replicate a process I'm very familiar with on Windows using MS Excel. I have a database (a MySQL database) and I want to create a spreadsheet that will allow users to quickly query the database and get reports/counts/etc. In Windows, I create views on the database and use MS Query / ODBC to link between Excel and the database. All works exactly as you'd expect. No drama, hassle or anything. I'm no longer working in a Windows environment and I'm struggling with what seems to be a fairly obvious use case. I've been recommend LibreOffice, and for the bits and pieces I've used so far, I'm impressed. I've managed to create a database link and I can create views and store them and, on the surface, it looks OK. When I look at the spreadsheet, I can see no way to link to the database. When I open the Navigator, I can see Database Ranges - but that's not what it seems. Now, I know I can cut'n'paste the data. This is NOT what I want. The use case is it allow a user to open the spreadsheet and either automatically or manually update the data from the database. No complex cut'n'paste or 20 click madness. Any real help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.
Hi :) You might find the graphic near the top of this link interesting http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan Basically LibreOffice tends to have 2 branches being developed alongside each other. The later releases of a branch become more stable and add fewer new features. Each branch seems to become stable by about .4, so 3.5.4 will hopefully be stable but by then there will probably be a new branch, the 3.6.x packed full of new features. So it's always a question of whether you want to have greater stability or more functionality, or have both installed alongside each other. I run a 32bit OS and programs even tho i have a 64bit processor. The first few times i tried 64bit OSes i found only small speed increases but loads of additional problems and instabilities. I'm really only a pointclick user so i went back to 32bit to make things easier. That was a good few years ago so i guess i really should try a 64bit OS soon! I thought LibreOffice only released 32bit versions? (which should be fine on a 64bit OS) Regards from Tom :) --- On Mon, 30/4/12, Ant a...@zimage.com wrote: From: Ant a...@zimage.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.

The use case is it allow a user to open the spreadsheet and either automatically or manually update the data from the database. No complex cut'n'paste or 20 click madness. Any real help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.
Hi :) I'm not sure why you're Xp one is crashing. Did you use the same installer that you used for the Win7 machine? If not then it might be worth trying that one or just check that the download didn't go wrong. Can you check the md5sum or sha or whatever? Even a new install will pick up on an old config folder such as your old configs for OpenOffice.org. Sometimes the config folder can be a bit wonky on a fresh release (although it's about a year since someone last mentioned experiencing that) so renaming the user profile can be a good idea even on a fresh new install if things seems a bit wrong. You can find a list of fixes and things from the main wiki-page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page but they just tend to be from 1 minor point-release to the next. I couldn't find the release notes. It is very early days for the 3.5.x branch. I guess that goes up to 3.5.6 too right?

I know at least 3 methods. 1) Simple method: Add a parameter query to the Base document: SELECT * FROM Table WHERE A = :param_A AND Date BETWEEN :From_Date AND :Until_Date Named parameters are unquoted alphanumeric and start with a colon. Drag that query into your sheet. When you access/refresh the parameter query you will be prompted for substitution. 2) Add a small filter table to the database, add a criteria input form to the spreadsheet and bind it to one particular record of the filter table. The user enters the criteria into the form and refreshes the import range which is bound to: SELECT D.* FROM Data AS D, FilterAS F WHERE Filter.RowID=0 AND D.A = F.INT_A AND D.Date BETWEEN F.D1 AND F.D2 3) A generic macro of mine which binds an import range to a changing SQL string (not possible in the GUI).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.
Ah OK. Weird. I will still have to try v3.4.x Does the LO's crashes keep any records/logs somewhere?

OO is old anyways! :) I just have a feeling that your fresh new LO might be reading your old OOo profile and there might be an Extension/Add-on in there that disagrees with LO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.
I just remembered something with the last clean install for XP and LO. This was for 3.4.1[or 3.4.2?] and XP. I had to install LO twice in a row, WITH NO uninstall in between. I do not know why that happened, but it happened to me twice. BUT, the last time I installed 3.4.4, or was it 3.4.5, on XP/pro I did not have any issues. There was just something in the XP system[s] I was dealing with that had issues and not all of what was to be installed was installed properly. The second install, which was a repair finished the install properly. I do not know if it was a problem for XP or for LO or a combination of both, but the second install [without an uninstall] fixed the problem and it worked great from there on and the installing for the next version[s] worked fine. I really prefer people try the most stable version of LO, which currently is 3.4.6, before they go to the most cutting edge version, which currently is 3.5.2. I have found that 3.4.6 works very well for me on Win XP/pro, Vista, and Ubuntu 10.04/12.04. There are some issues in 3.5.x that is in their bug list that need to be fixed before I go to 3.5.x over 3.4.6.. AS FOR not installing if the install file was bad or incomplete, that is not true. I have had both type of issues try to install and then fail somewhere along the way. Usually it fails so bad that I have to do a lot of cleaning up my system after the failure. Right now, I have a HP Pavilion zv6123 laptop running XP/pro [32-bit] and it has LO 3.4.6 running on it. I have to check what service pack is on it, but the package installed fine. .

Did you use the same installer that you used for the Win7 machine? If not then it might be worth trying that one or just check that the download didn't go wrong. Can you check the md5sum or sha or whatever? No, it was a new download. If the one at home was bad, then it wouldn't finish/fail installation, right? I will check its MD5sum. What's the correct one? Even a new install will pick up on an old config folder such as your old configs for OpenOffice.org. Sometimes the config folder can be a bit wonky on a fresh release (although it's about a year since someone last mentioned experiencing that) so renaming the user profile can be a good idea even on a fresh new install if things seems a bit wrong. Which configs? OpenOffice's? Remember, this is my first LibreOffice install. You can find a list of fixes and things from the main wiki-page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page but they just tend to be from 1 minor point-release to the next. I couldn't find the release notes.

It is not ready for business, but if a business user sees this, he/she might download it and try it instead of looking closer for the other possible downloads and such. Many of us do not like the new download system that decides for you which version is displayed for you to download, and how much work it is to download any other version. But I am not on that list of people who decide such things. -- 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
