Re: [libreoffice-users] Merging with Calc only
Hi :) I think you do the same thing. It should also work the same way for Impress and Draw too. A lot of things that people try to use Calc for are easier to do in Base but only if you have some experience with it.

[libreoffice-users] Re: tab behind end margin
Hi I don't want to write a note. It's more like writing a table of content (not really a toc but something like this), with longer text and a page number left. A short example what i try to do: text text text text text text page As far as I know, this is possible in MS Word and the Feature List of LO 3.5 (detailed information under [1]) states that this is also possible. I've tried everything, but now i start to think, that this behaviour is not working (I use LO 3.5.4). I wonder if I had misunderstood this feature. Cheers Sven [1] http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/ Layout fixes (Cédric Bosdonnat) When a tab stop is set behind the end margin, the tab uses this value and does not go to a new line.

Actually, in the tab pane of the paragraph it is possible to set a tab in the margin area and when entering text, the paragraph mark jumps to that position, but the line break still occurs before that tab at the end of the paragraph. I also tried to use a paragraph with right indent and so set the tab stop in that area before the page margin (As I remember this is the way it worked in MSO). Also here, the tab can be set but without having the desired effect.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu Libreoffice
Hi :) I think there is some confusion here. Compile means something specific in OpenSource and is not the same as get together or acquire. Compile means taking the raw source code and installing that onto your system. It's nice to watch the newly made youTube video to help with that but this whole process is wy more than most people will ever need to do. It's much easier to get the Debian-family installer from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ and then these instructions to unzip/unpack it and then install it. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_LibreOffice_on_Linux If you want to create your own installer from the source code then i think that's called something like, doing your own build and hopefully this link might help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build Again this is wy more than most people will ever need. Mostly these days LO is installed by default on most fresh new GnuLinux systems or grab it from the repos using the package manager. GnuLinux distro fall neatly into about 6-8 different families. Many of the newer ones are in the Debian family including ones such as Mint, Ubuntu. There's also a Redhat family, Slackware family. Even different families often use the same installers so there are only about 4 different installers needed to cover all the different distros. You really don't need to create a differrent installer for each different release of each different distro. That's the kind of craziness that hardware manufacturers seem to think in their ignorance = or at least the excuse that often gets used by people who should know better. As i understand it the main advantage of compiling the code from scratch is that it streamlines your version of LO and tailors it to your specific set of hardware. So it should run faster and is just more cool when you mention it to your mates. Unless you compiled your own version of Ubuntu then you really don't need to go this route. Ubuntu is not really designed to be compiled from scratch. It's meant to be an easy install where everything magically works without havign to do much. There are other distros that are much better for this sort of thing, such as Arch, Tiny Core, Slackware and they have loads of help geared towards helping people compile pretty much anything they want.

Hi :) Errr, Amiko is well worth watching btw. It's rare to see an interviewer that manages to get people talking rather than kinda taking over and doing most of the talking themselves. She makes it much easier to understand what is going on by avoiding technical terms and encourages interviewees to keep-it-simple too by giving them a clue as to what level of understanding to pitch the interview at. If you listen to her voice on the What is happening on the space station today she clearly does know the technical words so it's even more interesting to see her dodge them when interviewing. When i first started watching i assumed she was hopeless until i realised what she was achieving, getting people to relax and opening up with interesting answers.

This is the file I use for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04. LibO_3.6.4_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz Next you right-click on it in you file manager to uncompress it. Use the default Archive Manager, or Ark, or whatever is your default archiver manager/un-compressor. That will create the folder with the long name, At this point I do something a little different to ease my typing skills. I right-click on the folder and rename it to LibO to ease my typing its long name in the Terminal. That way you do not have such a long set of characters to type in for the folder's name in the Terminal. In Terminal or Konsole, etc., I type: cd LibO cd DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb Then do the same steps for the help and language packs, as needed, except for the cd desktop-integration part. You do not need to rename the folders, but I do that to stop errors in my typing of the long name of the folder. I know there are some other ways of doing this, but for me it is the simplest way for installing LO on Ubuntu. The only hard part is removing LO 3.5.7 before I install LO 3.6.4. I keep forgetting the Terminal commands and need to use the Synaptic Package Manager to find and remove the LO packages. Of course, I then make sure I reinstall all of the extensions I want, just to make sure they are there for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu Libreoffice
Hi :) Ahhh, tabbed auto-complete is really helpful. On a unix-based command-line, so that's any GnuLinux just start typing a command or pathname or file-name and after about 2 or 3 characters press the tab key. It then lists all the relevant things that start with those 2 or 3 characters and copies everything you have typed so far onto a new line so that you can ignore all the suggestions and carry on typing if you want. If there is only 1 suggestion then it just fills in all the rest for you. Errr, i dunno how to select say the 5th option except by using the mouse to copypaste.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Form behavior.
Hi :) Errr, when you are at the top of a column and don't know how far down it goes you can always use Ctrl down-arrow to get to the bottom, or at least the first break. Being fairly paranoid i do Ctrl and down-arrow again just to make sure the list doesn't resume after a short break of a few empty cells. If it does i get to the top of the new start. If you also press the shift key while doing that it selects all the cells between the start and where-ever you have ended-up so far. Just shift and down-arrow adds one more cell to your selection. Shift and up-arrow takes the last cell off. So, as long as you avoid taking your finger off the shift key you can rapidly select quite a messy column even if it has tons of breaks in it.

My fingers seem to love to press the wrong letters. copy the compressed download file to you home folder, using you file manager/browser. Nautilus, Dolphin, or whatever you default file browser is. This is the file I use for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04. LibO_3.6.4_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz Next you right-click on it in you file manager to uncompress it. Use the default Archive Manager, or Ark, or whatever is your default archiver manager/un-compressor. That will create the folder with the long name, At this point I do something a little different to ease my typing skills. I right-click on the folder and rename it to LibO to ease my typing its long name in the Terminal. That way you do not have such a long set of characters to type in for the folder's name in the Terminal. In Terminal or Konsole, etc., I type: cd LibO cd DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb Then do the same steps for the help and language packs, as needed, except for the cd desktop-integration part. You do not need to rename the folders, but I do that to stop errors in my typing of the long name of the folder. I know there are some other ways of doing this, but for me it is the simplest way for installing LO on Ubuntu. The only hard part is removing LO 3.5.7 before I install LO 3.6.4. I keep forgetting the Terminal commands and need to use the Synaptic Package Manager to find and remove the LO packages. Of course, I then make sure I reinstall all of the extensions I want, just to make sure they are there for me.

Thanks Sharon. The above is the normal situation when LibreOffice is part of a Debian distribution. There is another thing to consider. The Debian version of LibreOffice has its own set of bugs that are different from the bugs that LibreOffice from the LO website may have. Besides, the Debian versions are always several versions behind those in the LO website. For example, the Debian stable version due out this spring will likely be 3.6.x. The website should have 3.6.4 shortly with 3.6.6 due out in the week of April 8-14, 2013. (They would like to have 4.02 out about that same time. I think I had the same problem with Ubuntu (a Debian derivative). Since with my writing and QA testing I need to use LO from the website, I have to remove the Ubuntu version completely using Synaptic. Unfortunately this has to be done every time I go to the newest version of Ubuntu. Fortunately, that is only once every 2 years. Daily upgrades from Ubuntu do not bother my versions of LibreOffice. --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 will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: [MariaDB Announce] New MariaDB releases 5.1.66, 5.2.13, 5.3.11, 5.5.28a are now available
Hi :) Just thought people here might be interested to know of last week's announcement from MariaDb. It is a drop-in replacement for MySql so hopefully any databases you have created in MySql should be easily opened by MariaDb. I would still do a back-up though in order to ensure Murphy's Law plays in your favour. (ie if you have taken the trouble to do a back-up you wont need it and will probably feel like it was a waste of time.) MariaDb and MySql are fairly hefty good back-ends that are even more useful when using Base as the front-end. Other good back-ends include Postgresql which might actually be slightly better at integrating with Base as they helped us a bit with some sort of connector or something apparently. These are all great if you have tons of data but possibly a bit more than you need for a small and simple address list of just a few hundred (or so) people.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] Split screen in half horizontally?
Hi :) Side-by-side is fairly easy on Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Not sure about others but it's got to have originated somewhere and is probably on the cards elsewhere. Not sure about synchronised scrolling though, that part sounds like a good item for a feature-request / bug-report. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bug_Report So, in Ubuntu 12.04 and Win7 just grab the first document's window and drag it to the far left as though you are dragging it off-screen. When a weird shadow fills half the screen let go. Whatever size and shape the windo had been it now fills half the screen. Do the same to the 2nd document's window but drag it to the right. Errr i choose left first just because it feels more comfortable to me. If you try to drag it off the top of the screen then the window tries to maximise. Of course you could use Alt Tab to flick between any windows on the workspace you are on and that can be a good way to compare quickly. Most GnuLinux distros also let you flick between different work-spaces quickly so changes jump out at you that way too. Windows users probably aren't familiar with the spinning cube (which i can never get to work). Of course Ubuntu kinda lost that quick flick between workspaces in 11.04 using Unity (unless i'm missing a key-combo (which is highly likely)) Regards from Tom :) From: Dr. R.

This would realy be a good feature. I also miss the possibility to compare to documents side by side and synchronized scrolling. I hate to say it but this is a good feature of MSO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] New Zealand English Dictionary Submission
Hi :) Existing resources are probably better than reinventing the wheel, even if it costs a little it might be a better way to a faster answer. I quite liked these though and didn't instantly spot the price and copyright http://www.chemistry.co.nz/kiwi.htm http://www.taiuru.maori.nz/predictive-txt-maori-word-list-for-nz-mobile-phones/ Not sure at all about this one, is there even a list there? http://esolonline.tki.org.nz/ESOL-Online/Teacher-needs/Reviewed-resources/Vocabulary Tim might be interested and might be able to give pointers. Good luck and regards from Tom :) From: Anthony Easthope antiso...@myopera.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2012, 22:37 Subject: [libreoffice-users] New Zealand English Dictionary Submission Hi guys Forgive me if this is on the wrong list but I have come up with a idea which I think I'm capable of. What I want to do was make a New Zealand English dictionary extension but I was unsure how to go about this. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to start apart from using a existing British English word-list as a starting point. Some assistance would be greatly received as well! -- Anthony Easthope antiso...@myopera.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 -- 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: New Zealand English Dictionary Submission
yes there is. but not to quell the author of it is actually lacking alot of words and place names. I was hoping to make a more up to date version of the former.
