Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

I just joined this list, so I may be jumping in on something I have no business in, but you ask does anyone out there use libre with win7 so far I would guess it’s a huge no... I use Libre with Win7 with no problems. I always get my Libre downloads from Libre itself, never a third party. I've tried the Wubi install of Ubuntu with its version of Libre, and I always find myself coming back to Win7. Compared to Win7, Ubuntu just seems unpolished. I eventually deleted the Ubuntu Wubi install. If I recall, the Windows version of Libre had better support for the Linux Libertine G font than the Ubuntu version, which is important to me.

Hi :) Sorry about that! Anyone that is missing Vista must surely be in a fairly dire state. Where did Vista go? Have you been able to try out Tim's suggestion of opening the .oxt by opening LO first and then clicking on Tools - Extension Manager and then browse for your .oxt? I think the dictionary that Tim pointed to http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english is the one i had been hunting for and is better than the one i suggested. Also as Andreas and Tim both point out the file-sizes you quote are completely wrong. Please download the proper official version of LO from the LO website. This link gets you the newest branch http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ this next link gives you the more stable branch but it has a few less features. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86lang=en-USversion=3.5.6 e, that's US of course so you might want this next link instead if you want a different language (or just hack the url address, if you get it wrong you'll probably just get the north american one again) http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86 Regards from Tom :) From: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Saturday, 13 October 2012, 2:44 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
Hi :) Yes, the Wubi is sitting on top of Windows systems rather than being on bare metal so it's never going to be quite as good as the system it's sitting on top of. Hmmm, i think it is a lot closer to bare-metal than it would be if installed on a virtual machine inside Windows = i think it's more like the Wine approach but it still relies on some of the flakiest bits about Windows, such as their boot-loader, registry, and Ntfs partition (thankfully (at least hopefully) not Fat32 or other Fat). The advantages are 1. it gives you a fully working GnuLinux so you have easy access to all those OpenSource programs. 2. it helps you familiarise yourself with the different system to help you migrate without taking the slash and burn approach that people so often take (which leads them to disliking the system they are not familiar with because they can't find where things are and then blame the system for not having them even though they probably do exist or are done in a different way) 3. it's fully compatible with other Ubuntu machines (and therefore all other desktop GnuLinuxes. The next step after getting familiar with the Wubi would be a dual-boot and that would get it on bare-metal. The dual-boot gives a different menu just after you start-up your machine so that you can still choose whether to boot into Windows or Ubuntu that particular time. To slow it down even more it might be good to keep your Wubi for a while because there are probably config files and data that you want to copy over to your new system. Plus you probably want to try to copy roughly the same visual set-up and additional programs or ones you've swapped out too.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
I have installed LO 3.4.x and 3.5.x on many Win7 systems, mostly laptops. I did not have any trouble with installing and their using the features like the spell checking options. As for Ubuntu/Linux, most Windows users will not switch unless there is a good reason to. I had some good reasons and I went to Ubuntu for my main desktop since Feb 2010, and for some other systems before that. I never used the Wubi install version of Ubuntu, but did a full install as either a dual booting system with partitioning the hard drive into two sections, or deleting Windows all together and only having Ubuntu and the EXT4 file system [ instead of NTFS ]. I have not heard anything about problems with Linux support of Libertine G fonts, and I am a font guy with over 14 GB of font files in my font-folder[s].

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem happen when import text with Chinese
I made a test I did before (maybetooo long time before) and
reported today a bugBug55954-EDITING: copypaste issues
- Japanese text from writer into calcWhat I remember from my previous
test( I used LO 3.5.4 or 3.5.5)is thatI got what is called in Japanese
mojibake and can be
imaged as wingding symbols, thus unreadable characters. This
time with LO 3.5.6.2 at least all characters where correct.For Scott to
compare what I did in the test with what he did
during his import process here the bug report:beginProblem
description:copypaste of Japanese text from writer to calc shows
inconsistency
opf the paste results depending on the paste methode (pasting
directly into cells or pasting into the input line). Details are
to
be seen in the attached files.
Steps
to reproduce:
1.
copy a Japanese text in writer
2.
paste directly into a cell in calc creates a too small font
neither
matching the font in writer nor default in calc, color is
black
3.
paste into the input line creates the same font result but
color is
gray.
4.
when increasing the font size in calc overlapping of Japanese
characters occure depending on the width of the column (this
can be
seen in the attached calc sheet when changing the column
width)
Current
behavior:As
described aboveThe
same issue should appear with all double byte word languages
(Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai etc...)
Expected
behavior:when
pasting Japanese from writer into calc the font should be as
in
writer or as the default font in calc (type, size, color)

Fwd: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem happen when import text with Chinese
2012/10/13 Dr. R. O Stapf reinh...@stapf-online.com
I made a test I did before (maybetooo long time before) and
reported today a bugBug55954-EDITING: copypaste issues
- Japanese text from writer into calcWhat I remember from my
previous test( I used LO 3.5.4 or 3.5.5)is thatI got what is called in
Japanese mojibake and can be
imaged as wingding symbols, thus unreadable characters. This
time with LO 3.5.6.2 at least all characters where correct.For
Scott to compare what I did in the test with what he did
during his import process here the bug report:beginProblem
description:copypaste of Japanese text from writer to calc shows
inconsistency
opf the paste results depending on the paste methode (pasting
directly into cells or pasting into the input line). Details are
to
be seen in the attached files.
Steps
to reproduce:
1.
copy a Japanese text in writer
2.
paste directly into a cell in calc creates a too small font
neither
matching the font in writer nor default in calc, color is
black
3.
paste into the input line creates the same font result but
color is
gray.
4.
when increasing the font size in calc overlapping of Japanese
characters occure depending on the width of the column (this
can be
seen in the attached calc sheet when changing the column
width)
Current
behavior:As
described aboveThe
same issue should appear with all double byte word languages
(Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai etc...)
Expected
behavior:when
pasting Japanese from writer into calc the font should be as
in
writer or as the default font in calc (type, size, color)
Platform
(if different from the browser):
LO
3.5.6.2 / XP SP3
Browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/16.0end
!--
@page { margin: 2cm }
P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm }
I can confirm Dr R O Stapf's remark above, i e, copying text to Writer
from, e g, Japanese or Chinese newspapers and then copying a portion of
that text and pasting into a cell in Calc results, depending upon the
length of the text, in cell boundaries being exceeded. This running Version

The Libeoffice version is 3.6.2, and the encoding of Chinese is utf-8. No
matter is utf-8, unicode, big5 it happens the same.
oh, Import file means open a text file, and set delimiter of fixed width

Hang on hang on your off track again amazing. all i said was i never had a problem using libre with vista and that libra is giving me a problem with windows 7 never mentioned recovery or partitions have no idea where that came from but yes ideally a remote view ing of my lap top would fix my libre / win 7 issus but i guess no one out their can do that with me.

To: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 5:12 AM Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

Various freeware sites are the best guarantee that you get your computer infected with anything *they* want. None of those packages between 28 and 120 MB contains LibreOffice. the free sites only mention libre and after i scan them with malwearbytes libre office opens. Apart from this, LibreOffice is not freeware. It is open source software (OSS) which makes a huge difference. The home of the LibreOffice is http://libreoffice.org where you get the original packages from the developers at any time. thats very funny and yes i ll play your game; what i mean of course is that you don t need a credit card to purchase the key to get libre Office and yes will use the libreoffice web site to get the 208 mb size with the 10 mb help hopefully that will fix the problems. --- On Sat, 10/13/12, Andreas Säger [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ml-node+s969070n4013054...@n3.nabble.com wrote: From: Andreas Säger [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ml-node+s969070n4013054...@n3.nabble.com Subject: Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .

To: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 8:27 AM I know of several people that use LibreOffice on Win7 machines. Most of them use it on laptops, since they did not buy desktops. Actually I was the one to install LO on their laptops. If you go to a freeware site and find such small sized LO install files, the something is wrong with their installs. Sites line the North American Community DVD Project - http://libreoffice-na.us - are OK since they are dedicated to LibreOffice and its distribution of the original files from the LO site. Actually I run that site [NA-DVD one], The current size for 3.5.6 is about 211 MB in size. I do not know what the size of 3.6.2, but it should be close to it, not anyways near 28 or 120 MB in size. I would stick with the official LO site, unless you find a regional site that is dedicated to LO, like the NA-DVD site. If the freeware sites are offering such a small download package for LO, then I would not trust them. The only reason the NA-DVD site has LO files in their site, is the fact that their web site versions of the NA-DVD are the same as the DVD media for the NA-DVD, with all of the needed install files and all of the extras on top of those files.

Also as Andreas and Tim both point out the file-sizes you quote are completely wrong. Please download the proper official version of LO from the LO website.

Remote does indeed does seem the way to go but i ll try the big download of libra but we just had another e mail here saying he can t get libra to work for him; so waiting for comments on his issue which is my issue even though you all enjoy getting off track big time. Comments on his issue should be a hoot can t wait for them. And that brings up a question why does libre; spell / grammer check work on some win 7 computers and not others what could it be that we keep missing to click on or re set ? ? --- On Sat, 10/13/12, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: From: Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org, Robert Burns joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 5:11 AM Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

The person will be a Windows user and not a Linux user in the foreseeable future. Where is he getting a 28MB or a 108 MB version of LO is my concern. I do not remember Windows LO being that small. Then there is the comment of being a use for 3 years. LO 3.3.0 came out in the beginning of last year, so it has not be out for 3 years yet. If the person installed a version of LO that is not the proper file size, then there will be trouble. I think the best thing to do is a complete uninstall of LO and then download a fresh copy from the web site and make sure what is downloaded matches the file size of the package.

Ubuntu comes with tons of programs already installed so it very usable right from the start. http://www.ubuntu.com/ The download button is halfway down the left side, just under the title Rock Solid. Windows is a Pita to install. I think probably a lot of people on this list share

[libreoffice-users] comment about 3.6.1.2 from an author of over 130 books.
I received this comment [below] from an author of over 130 books. He moved to LO from OOo. He uses Fedora and specialized keyboard and a lot of macros he has written over the years since his switch from StarOffice to OOo, and now LO. So the Macro ability is very important. I will give the name of the author to TDF off-list. I told him that I would let his comment to me known to the developers, but not given permission to post his name on the lists. [quoted from email] I have LibreOffice 3.6.1.2 and it is good except for a couple of things. It was a scavenger hunt to find out where they hid the Record Macro facility, and every so often it refuses to load and I have to reset my system and start over. But overall I like it, so far. [end of quote] Let me say that in his good years, he writes 4+ paperback novels a year. He is now writing #38 of a series that #1 was published in 1977. SO, is an author who works hard on and needs his macros, really needs his macros to work. I let him know that 3.6.3 is coming out next month. He lives in a real rural area, by choice, and uses dial-up access. I may send him a copy of my NA-DVD with 3.6.3 files when they come out. I just have to find the right address. -- 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

Therefore you can download and install Calligra Suite in most cases free of charge. While the Calligra project only provides source code, it is easily installable through the package manager of many linux distributions, FreeBSD. There is also preliminary support on Mac OS X and Windows. I wonder how much of it is based on the old OOo coding.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice in MacWorld Australia
but MSFT products are NOT cheap - their limited editions are included on new PCs due to some agreement BGates made with the manufacturers; once the trial version runs its course and/or the user desires more than the trial version offers they must purchase the product - and the product is only good for a limited number of downloads - therefore if you must replace your computer more than once, you must re-purchase the product.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice in MacWorld Australia
I have my still my doubts on graphics, but all the other remarks of Tom I fully agree. By the way is there a list of MSO bugs we can have a look at? I doubt!

All 3 installed but LO handles graphics better. Plus it doesn't keep changing styles, languages, indentations, size of bullet-points and it keeps track of numbers better in numbered lists. Also better compatibility. Each version of MSO stuffs up documents created by the other. If i write in LO then save as doc then both versions of MSO display the file the same way.
