Re: [libreoffice-users] query re. LO crashing ...
Hi :) Probably best to start by renaming your User Profile http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile That tends to be the best and fastest fix for anything weird, especially things that suddenly started behaving weirdly for no readily apparent reason and which did work properly previously. Also does sometimes fix odd things in fresh new installs. In the old days or with older style programs you would get back to factory defaults by doing a complete reinstall but that is not the case with OpenSource software and some proprietary software seems to be learning the trick too now. So, nowadays when you do a reinstall programs tend to pick-up on your old settings and keeps your galleries, templates, Extensions and all the rest intact. To get back to factory defaults you just rename the folder that all those settings and configurations are in. That is the User Profile. By renaming instead of deleting you keep all your old stuff but have just effectively hidden it so that LO is forced to generate a new one. Later you can copypaste chunks from your old profile into your new one to regain some of your old stuff. If weirdnesses have occured then the most likely cause is apparently 3rd party Extensions so you can probably get almost all your old stuff back.

[libreoffice-users] [Writer/Draw] How to insert fields into graphic?
Hallo everyone. I'm preparing a software manual with dozens of print screens. Each of them consist of several additional rectangle frames. These frames are placed to mark out some regions of the print screens (windows elements, menus, etc.). Frames are numbered and these numbers refer to certain parts of text. So far I was inserting them manually but it becomes quite difficult to control them. Is there any way to do so more less automatically? Is it possible to insert fields with numbers into graphics and have them linked to text? Thank you very much in advance for all your help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Writer/Draw] How to insert fields into graphic?
Thank you very much for your advice. Unfortunately I'm facing some problem with captions. I don't want to have any text shown except numbers. Therefore I choose no category. Problem is that automatic numbering doesn't work in this circumstances. I tried leaving this field blank (putting a space there) but it didn't work neither. My goal is to get something like that: __printscreen__ | | | || 1 | | || | | _ | || || || | 2 | ||_|| | | | __ | | | | | | | | 3 | | |__| | | | |___| Any clues?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Pdf import. Was: Fw: Wiki quick guide page - see if this is a good format. . .
Hi :) It is usually best to start a new question by starting a new email thread rather than replying to an existing thread and then just editing it. Forwarding an email and then copypasting the address back in also works but just Reply to .. and then editing the subject-line doesn't. OpenOffice Extensions still tend to work on LibreOffice just as easily as they do on OpenOffice and vice-versa. However i thought PDF import had been pulled into the main branch of LO? Can you just open the Pdf in LO? Although a lot of programs can now write Pdfs they seldom allow you to edit the text as freely as you would edit an Odt or Doc. They do sometimes allow you to crop and rotate pages and do some fairly rough work like that. Depending on which Operating System you are using and what type of editing you want to do people might have suggestions for other OpenSource programs that might suit you better. I used to use Gimp a lot but it wouldn't let me write back as a Pdf (a double plus for my needs at that time). When i need to save back as Pdf i use Draw or nowadays PdfShuffler (on a GnuLinux). So, are you using Windows and do you need to save as Pdf or will an image format do? Also do you need to edit the text part of the document? When i create Pdfs i keep an original in Odt so that i can go back to that if i really need to edit anything. I've found other people are usually quite willing to give me an editable format (usually Doc or DocX) if they have started by only providing a Pdf. Not always but quite often.

I would ask listers to e-mail you privately on this topic because I think this conversation may be getting lost for some people who might be willing to help even if it's just contributing solutions. Speaking of Libre Writer... Do you know if there is any Libre extension which allows one to import a PDF into Libre Writer? There is one for Open Office but when I perused the official LIbre Web site I did not find a download for an extension or plug-in that would allow that. Maybe I missed it?

It would be nice to fill in the items with descriptions on what checking/unchecking those boxes do. The image was from my Ubuntu system, but I wonder if I should do all my screen-clip images from a Windows computer. Do you think I should reference the image by saying what version and OS the clip was from? I will be redoing them for the 3.6.x version, if they appear different. ALSO when uploading a image, where is the file name compared with? It is specific for that Wiki page or the entire Wiki system? I do not want to have to keep changing the file name for the screen-clips. Also, I know that the Wiki page can hold more information than the space of the 6 or 8 pages a quick reference guide would have, but I do want to consider how it might be presented on such a guide sheet[s]. Tom asked about how I did the table-of-contents. I answered him but I think I missed his question. If he meant the use of the box with the dot border, that was done by placing some spaced before each line. If you add a spacing between lines [not with the new line character], then each block of lines would have their own bordered box. Now, I have to figure out how the informational text for each check box items will be shown as part of that sub section of the page and not a new item to be looked at. I replaced the * character, after I used the bullet list option for the text, with the ? [box character shown here, hopefully] That way the text was still properly indented for the page. I wonder if I can indent at another level - i.e. indent a text inside an indented text. But this is a start. What would be the best format for the Supported Document file formats and is there a better name for that section? Should I list all of the formats in alpha order and then have a column for load/save information - maybe in a table format? Or should it be listed in some other order.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Writer/Draw] How to insert fields into graphic?
Hi Gordom, gordom schrieb: Thank you very much for your advice. Unfortunately I'm facing some problem with captions. I don't want to have any text shown except numbers. Therefore I choose no category. Problem is that automatic numbering doesn't work in this circumstances. I tried leaving this field blank (putting a space there) but it didn't work neither. Do not use the Caption wizard, but set the field manually. My goal is to get something like that: __printscreen__ | | | || 1 | | || | | _ | || || || | 2 | ||_|| | | | __ | | | | | | | | 3 | | |__| | | | |___| Any clues? If your pictures are inside a frame, you can only use a Number Range, if you will reference them later on using the number. Another kind of reference will not work. When you do not use the Caption-feature, then you insert a Number Range by Insert Fields Other... Tab Variables. Choose Number Range left, and Illustration in the middle. Insert. Close. To insert the reference in you text use Insert Fields Other... Tab Cross References. There you find Illustration left, and in the middle the number you want to refer to. Choose Numbering from the bottom list. For arranging your pictures you can use several methods, for example - Anchor as character and aligning by using tabstops. - Anchoring to paragraph and wrap setting after and first paragraph, use the spacing in the wrap settings in dialog page Wrap and the position from the dialog page Type. - Using a invisible layout table which gives you a grid for arranging.

In the old days or with older style programs you would get back to factory defaults by doing a complete reinstall but that is not the case with OpenSource software and some proprietary software seems to be learning the trick too now. So, nowadays when you do a reinstall programs tend to pick-up on your old settings and keeps your galleries, templates, Extensions and all the rest intact. To get back to factory defaults you just rename the folder that all those settings and configurations are in. That is the User Profile. By renaming instead of deleting you keep all your old stuff but have just effectively hidden it so that LO is forced to generate a new one. Later you can copypaste chunks from your old profile into your new one to regain some of your old stuff. If weirdnesses have occurred then the most likely cause is apparently 3rd party Extensions so you can probably get almost all your old stuff back.

Hi :) Once you get to the Roaming folder it should be pretty easy to figure out. Most OpenSource programs will have their UserProfiles in there, just pick the one that is relevant = in this case the LibreOffice one.
