Re: [libreoffice-users] custom shows within a slide show - impress
Hi and thanks for the first reply. I intend to show the custom show depending on the discussion in my (main) presentation. Imagine following sequence: - In my presentation I am showing slide N, - Because and only because of the discussion I want to show 2 slides additionally and then return to my slide N. (I grouped these 2 slides in a custom show and call it CustShow.) - Now I want to click on text or button to open the CustShow. - After the last slide of the CustShow I want to show again slide N of the (main) presentation. I keep the slides for my custom shows at the end of my main presentation in a section I call LinkedSlides In Impress I looked into interaction and hyperlink but could not find a way to show CustShow and return to my slide N from where I wanted to branch. Let me please also explain what I did in In MS PowerPoint:before I switched over to LO - created a custom show - created a text box or button at the slide from where I wanted to start the custom show - hyperlinked text box (or button) with the custom show and set a flag to return to the starting slide in the main presentation.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Formatting fonts in Impress
Let me add a comment to the one from Tom. I created my own Template and adjusted the fonts in the template. How to do? Create a presentation with the minimum slides you always want to have and adjust all to the layout you want to have. You will need to work in this case also with the Master Slide. Save it as a template with a name which helps you to identify this template. I found all I needed in the Impress Guide. Link is in Tom's reply.

I want to tell the user the data type they should be entering as 'date type 01/01/2012' and that the message will disappears as the user starts typing Easy: just put that text into the cell! The nature of spreadsheets is that anything you type into a cell replaces what is already in it. Your user will overwrite the message with the actual data. Alternatively, you could insert a note in the relevant cell (Insert | Note or right-click | Insert Note). The user would need to understand the note indicator and know how to hover over it to see your advice - or you could choose Show Note if you want the note to be permanently visible. Incidentally, your example date of 01/01/2012 is uniquely unhelpful, since it could represent either month-day-year or day-month-year! You probably need something like 31/12/2012 or 12/31/2012. Mind you, the exact format of entry may not matter, as the spreadsheet will interpret the input according to the locale and display it according to the formatting of the cell. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Calc Chart is very slow when configuring a chart with large data sets
Hello, I am running LibreOffice 3.5.4.2. My Operating System is Linux Mint 13. I am wondering if there is a way to disable the automatic updating/refreshing of the data in a chart while working on its properties. For example, I have a line chart with 1440 points. If I try and change a title, resize the chart, or do any simple task it takes a really long time. Might not seem like a big deal but I have 22 spreadsheets to work on with three charts per spreadsheet. In the future I plan on moving to larger data sets and it will take even longer. Only thing I can think of is to change my dataset to a small one while working on it, and then change it back when I am done. If I could temporarily disable the automatic updating/refreshing of the data and then re-enable it when I have made all changes that would be ideal. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Naomi You can have a date field that will show just . However, I doubt that you can do this in a form. For that a field having an Integer type seems a good choice. Suggestions: Small Integer and Integer. The length property for integers states what is the largest or smallest Integer that can be entered into the field. You might be happy using Small Integer since it has a length of 5.

With the advice given earlier, I have found several methods that do what I need to get done with no problems. My previous lack of knowledge was easily corrected and I am confident in my ability to adapt the input to conform to the requirements of its intended function. Quote: [With US loale setting and detect special numbers any of the above input strings yield cell value 41274 preformatted to show 41274 as 12/31/12 which is obviously and unambiguously the correct value. This value can be formatted at will and sorted by its numeric value.] You are correct in that 12/31/12 is not ambiguous, but that is a special case. When each element is unique and without knowing the source preference, there are six different dates that may be generated from 10/11/12: 2010-11-12 2010-12-11 2011-10-12 2011-12-10 2012-10-11 2012-11-10 This is why, when not using ISO8601, I choose to use a four digit year AND a month name. No matter the order of the elements, there can be no ambiguity. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Date-will-not-format-or-sort-when-imported-into-calc-ods-tp4004907p4006430.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

If there is any advantage in using a database over a spreadsheet, please share it with me It seems to me that there ought to be advantages to using databases. After all, there are college courses of databases. Oracle has a database program (better known as a database management system that is very complex). The text book for it is 700+ pages. This is used in many of the large businesses. This textbook is known to give students headaches. So, is it possible that the things you see as advantages and disadvantages just might not be the whole story? The following is the link to the draft folder for Base. You can download the database use with Chapter 1 of the Base Guide. There is also a link to the database (Budget.odb) used for Chapters 2-4 of the Base Guide. Perhaps the latter could show the advantages of using a database instead of a spreadsheet. http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-guide/draft-lo3.4 In the past, I have used a spreadsheet to keep track of my finances. Now I use a database which I prefer. Why? Size is one of the reasons. Each sheet get physically larger as data is entered, a database does not. Spreadsheet: data is entered into individual sheets based upon the specific data. Database: the entries are made in a single form. Spreadsheet: data must be linked from one sheet to another (I had links between data with a sheet). Database: This is done using table and field names. To me, one of many advantages of a database is the query. You can tell it to get data from specific fields, and it will display it in a table format. This does not take up physical space like it would in a spreadsheet. Another is what can be done with the simple sum function in a query. For example, my financial database has a field named, Amount. In this field I enter all of the expenses and income that I have. I create the query to find the sum for the Amount field. I also tell the query to separate this sum so that I get a subtotal for each of my Accounts (I have 9). So I now have 9 subtotals of the Amount field. I also tell the query to list the names in the Accounts field alphabetically. In the end, the query's output is 2 columns by 9 columns: first column contains the names of the accounts listed alphabetically, and the second column contains the balance for each account listed. This is the SQL statement for the query in Budget.odb (it only has 5 accounts): SELECT Account, SUM( Amount ) AS Account Balance FROM Data WHERE Account IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Account ORDER BY Account This is the output: Account Account Balance Bank of America -600 Bank of Tennessee -541 Cash 20.48 Wamu MasterCard 649.84 Wells Fargo VISA 218.45 I use the same structure for the balances of my accounts. The only difference is that in Budget.odb, the Account field has 5 entries (hence 5 rows of subtotals) whereas mine has 9 entries (hence 9 rows of subtotals). It just occurred to me another advantage: the Data Source window which you open in Writer or Calc using the F4 key. You can see the query output without opening the database. --Dan -- 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
