Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] Split screen in half horizontally?
Quite a lot of interesting discussions about the possibility of looking at 2 documents the same time. I was especially surprised that this very nice feature will be gone in MSO 2013. Luckily I use LibO only thus cannot feel cheated by MS when this feature is gone after I purchased an expensive upgrade. As a reference, one can just look at MSO 2003. There I used this feature mainly for word documents of the same language or with different languages. I could scroll both documents synchronized or separately. All in one big but split window. I used this for many years until I switched to LibO. I think it doesn't need complicated programming and I also feel that it could be applied to all elements of LibO the same way. (Be careful I not a dev and don't have dev knowledge; its just my feeling.) If someone is interested in more details, let me know, I will fire up my old PC where there is still MSO 2003 installed and look at the details. -- 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] 0xc0000005 error in RPCRT4.dll from soffice.bin

I've had this problem with both 3.6.3 and now with 3.6.4 and it's only appeared since I installed Windows 8 (32 bit).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bug report for LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8
Hi :) The 3.5.6 is on the equivalent of Service Pack 6 while 3.6.3 is only on it's Service Pack 3. Oddly the 3.5.6 is older, it was released around 19th Aug, whereas the 3.6.3 was around 4th November. Both have been superseded by more recent releases in their respective branches 3.6.4 (equiv of Sp4) on 9th Dec 3.5.7 (equiv of Sp7) on 14th Oct It is good to try different versions so it's good to know the problem is not in the 3.5.x branch and is just a fairly recent regression. If you are happy to settle with the 3.5.6 that is fine but it would be helpful to know if the bug is still in the 3.6.4.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 0xc0000005 error in RPCRT4.dll from soffice.bin
Hi :) It sounds weird. Weird issues can often be solved by renaming your User Profile so that is the first thing to try. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile It does what you were trying to achieve through reinstall. Reinstall is the old way used by old programs but now that most programs have more frequent upgrades and reinstalls they have generally moved to or are moving to this approach of keeping your configurations, settings, galleries, templates, Extensions and all the rest even when you reinstall the program. With older programs you would typically spend ages trying to remember and then reconfigure a program after reinstalling. With the newer style you just do the reinstall and magically find it behaving the way you set-up the previous version. On the other hand this specific type of thing (involving dll files and report numbers) is one type of thing i would have tried the reinstall route 2nd.

With txting on my phone i find if i type a string of upper-case it switched to entirely upper-case but if i type a space or . between each character it retains the sentence-case that i generally prefer.

[libreoffice-users] Changing paths in LO
Okay, here's a weird one. I'm using a Sony Vaio Win7 laptop. I've been wanting to play with Linux, so I installed Ubuntu 12.10, using the full dual boot install (not the Wubi) complete with a partitioned hard drive. Ubuntu came with LO 3.6.2.2. I've done nothing to the Linux LO installation other than to change some screen colors and put my name in the General/User Data area. I'm wanting to direct my document path in the Linux LO to my Win7 document directory on the Win7 partition. When I try to change the paths in Tools/Options/Paths, absolutely nothing happens. I can select the Win7 document directory, but when I click ok I get no change. In fact, it won't even let me change any of my paths to anything other than what's already there. I can't even change them to a Linux directory. It's as if my paths are locked in place, but I can't find anyway to unlock them to allow me to change them. Any ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] A Tale of Two Office Suites
Hi :) In 10 years of OpenOffice being just 1 product under Sun i only bumped into 2 people in daily life (word on the streets or word of mouth) that used it. Both were considered somewhat strange and difficult. I never saw any articles about it in the press, not even in obscure magazines focussing on IT issues (also difficult to find anything about GnuLinux tbh). In 10 years of using other people's public access machines i found OpenOffice just 1 time and even then it was only downloaded, not installed (so the managers thought it was rubbish and didn't work so they bought MSO to replace it (note they didn't bother to find out why it wasn't working)). Nowadays i see articles about either LO or AOO (or both) almost every month, sometimes every week, in various magazines in my local supermarket. I bump into people every few weeks that have heard of it. Users are not considered in such derogatory ways anymore, or at least not so often. In IT training it's more common to hear the tutor mention and other office suites. On public access machines it is more normal to find OpenOffice fully installed. Also it seems that we have more devs in LO than contributed to OpenOffice in an equivalent time-frame. I thought someone said more in LO in 2 years than had contributed to OOo in 10years. So, do i think we should amalgamate and return to just one product? Lol!! To me i think the idea of re-combining makes sense initially. The old argument about a fragmented market. However this argument is only applied in IT circles. Do people say that there should Not be so many flavours of ice-cream? or that there should only be 1 company allowed to produce ice-cream? Outside of IT fragmentation is considered a driving force and it's seen as good when companies compete with each other.

It can't be said better! Isn't the statement that competition helps to improve not simply an excuse to not being force to work on an attempt that both (LibO AOO) teams can work together again? Isn't MSO a good competitor, which helps improve an OpenSource Office (the combination of LibO and AOO) suit being available for those who just cannot afford MSO? I really would like to understand what attempts have been made to get both teams together and why the attempts failed? And when will the next attempt be made? I German is a phrase which I found being translated at LEO into English as: Constant dripping wears away the stone. The Japanese say: Until the ears hurt. I hope the responsible persons of LibO and AOO keep talking to each other until they find a way to cooperate again as one team to create the best Office Suit available and affordable for those with less financial resources. That is the real challenge and worthwhile to go for it.

I have both programs on my computer and regularly use both. Like many of you out there, I have subscribed to both user lists. I don’t know the full history behind the Libre/Oracle split, but from what I have read on various forums and lists, there is considerable emotional pain resulting from the split. The result is two different FOSS office suites. Some have pleaded for the two to combine forces. Others have noted that the competition is good for the end user as it results in more rapid development of improvements to both suites. I see both sides, but I’d like to point out one thing I have noticed in my own use of the two programs. Some computer programs are what I would call “load and use.” Programs like web browsers and mail clients, etc., require little to no configuration or customization. One can simply do productive use without much thought. I can easily bounce back and forth between Internet Explorer and Firefox, Live Mail and Thunderbird. Not so with office suites. To get the most out of my office suites, I create and edit templates, page, character and paragraph styles. I have to set the autocorrect functions of each program to my liking to prevent a (c) from turning into a ©. While it’s not essential, I tend to customize my toolbars and have created helpful macros. Effectively using an office suite requires a commitment akin to a marriage. For this reason, bouncing back and forth between two suites is counterproductive. I find myself importing and exporting settings, styles, and templates between the two programs rather than simply doing my work. Why do I put up with this inconvenience? Because each program has essential virtues over the other. For example, if I need

Hi :) It might be a known problem. It might be worth trying to post a bug-report because part of the guide's process hopefully helps you quickly find similar reports that have been posted previously. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport Registering at the bug-reporting place is really not difficult even though people often grumble about having to sign up to yet another site. Once registered then posting a bug-report is roughly the same as using a web-based email system to post an email. If the guide asks you to post information that you don't know already then post anyway as you can add the extra information later. Also the guide tries to cover all eventualities so some things it asks for might not be 100% necessary and the devs/triagers may ask for extra info anyway. Generally it is best to post as much of what they ask for as you reasonably can but don't let that delay you from posting.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing paths in LO
Hi :) I'm guessing that you make sure the Windows partition is mounted when you try to edit the paths? Although if it rejects a mounted Linux partition that you know is already mounted then it kinda points to that not being the problem. Easiest way to check a partition is mounted is just to open your file-browser and see if it's listed in the Places sidebar. I often switch between Tree and Places in there. Each has their own advantages at different times. If you are using Gnome or something then it tends to have a Places on the top-taskbar or you might be able to see the drive in your My Computer.

Hi :) I think saving a spreadsheet as a Csv strips out the formulae and replaces them with whatever the answer happened to be at the moment of saving. It's better to save an original version as Ods and then if you want other people to be able to edit and work with the sheet use File - Save As ... to save in Xls format (that's Microsoft Excel (97/2000/Xp) (or soemthing like that). Avoid using the XlsX (MS 2007 or 2010 or 365, as all 3 of those are slightly different from each other).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Formulas in Calc not showing results
Thanks, Brian, So I finally was able to open the CSV file after re-saving it a few times. Not sure what that's about... The CSV file has the proper values saved instead of the formulas, so it appears it's just a display issue. I'll try to dig further to see what might be going on. Restart the software or reboot the computer sometimes helps these odd glitches.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Several address books unavailable to writer and base
Thanks for replying. I can confirm that it's not a Linux problem because I'm running XP SP3. I contrast to the problems described in the 2 bug reports you referenced, LO still recognizes 2 address books, rather than automatically connecting to the first 1 it finds. These issues may be related. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Several-address-books-unavailable-to-writer-and-base-tp4023921p4024074.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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Formulas in Calc not showing results
Hi :) Lol, +1 Even on GnuLinux distros (mainly Ubuntu ime tbh) it's a good plan to do a reboot to ensure that services that are normally on haven't been stopped temporarily without you really being aware of it. Of course in GnuLinux you could restart individual processes in order to avoid any down-time at all but on a desktop or mobile machine a couple of minutes of downtime is unlikely to matter much.
