Re: [libreoffice-users] styles
Hi :) How about using the Navigator, F5 in Calc. Does that show all the headings of various types and then clicking on one takes you to the right place in the document. It might be slightly more efficient than using searchreplace because you can keep the Navigator window open or even dock it to any edge.

[libreoffice-users] Restarting page numbering as described in the manual not working with master document: Writer
Hi :) There is a page-numbering problem on the AskLO site. Is it a bug or a problem with some documentation? http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/12398/writer-restarting-page-numbering-as-described-in/ Is there anyone here that can help their op solve it? Here is a copy of the question Chapter 13, p.352 of the writer guide from here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ Provides details on how to restart numbering. It advises a new text style with page number 1 set in the Text Flow tab. I have done this, copying Heading 1 to create a new Heading 1 Chapter 1 with these settings in the template I use (then applied it to all subdocuments and the master document. I have checked this works by selecting a heading a few pages into a document and giving it this style. Page numbering re-starts fine. But then the document with this text style appears in the master document, page numbers continue as normal. Instead of re starting numbering at 1 it starts at 14, the number it started at before. Is this a problem with master documents, and is there some work around possible?

Re: [libreoffice-users] head format does not change
Hi :) Please can you elaborate a bit on that? I mean do you change the depends on property?

That generally seems to fix the problem. However there must be something else lurking in there because it doesn't always fix it. So my 2nd route is to cut and re-paste as unformatted text Shift Ctrl v and then apply the various styles to the relevant parts of the pasted text. It often takes quite a bit longer.

[libreoffice-users] auto-sized dialogue-boxes
Hi :) Something i had not even thought about at all, as an English speaker is the problem of translating dialogue-boxes or other pop-ups such as warnings and stuff. I've seen movies and been to places where a couple of words in one language has been translated into a long babble in another language and then a couple of words in that language resulted in a surprising amount of words in English. Even dialog in English (US) is shorter and looks weird to me because i am more familiar with the longer English (GB) version dialogue. I just hadn't thought about what problems that would create in dialogue boxes. Turns out it's just another thing that LibreOffice is already dealing with faster than AOO and better than OOo handled it. Regards form Tom :) From: Christian Lohmaier snip / Formerly, dialogs in OpenOffice.org (and thus in LibreOffice) are using a fixed layout, i.e. they wouldn't resize, they wouldn't adapt to the actual length of translated strings, etc. So Caolan made it possible to use glade (a GTK-interface builder) to design the dialog and use those ui files dynamically. So to take screenshots, you can just open the dialog definition in glade instead of finding it in LibreOffice. http://blogs.linux.ie/caolan/2013/01/24/converting-libreoffice-dialogs-to-ui-format-100-conversions-milestone/ so far 100 dialogs are converted :-) ciao Christian -- 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] head format does not change
Hi :) Wow! Lol [blushes and looks at feet] I had no idea about all that! If i think of it as being a bit like Css formatting then it might be easier for me to understand. In the menu it's listed as using a keyboard short-cut Ctrl M but someone wrote to me off-list to say that didn't seem to fix their formatting problem. I've suggested pasting the text into a text-editor and then re-copypaste into LibreOffice because that's been my method until recently. I guess if Ctrl M didn't work then it might be conditional formatting?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reptile Skin design for a 4.0.0 Persona / 33+ designs for LO 4.0.0Persona/Themes
You have to define it during the submission process. You give it a name, define the header and footer images, and you define the text and accent colors for menu text. I do not know of any way to change the menu text in a persona if the designer chose the wrong color for the user. I try to use either a white color for dark backgrounds or black for the light background. Maybe later, I will make some backgrounds that will look good with some colored text. I test my persona/theme designs with Firefox before I submit them. I do not know of a way to do that with LibreOffice, but maybe later. Of course, if you can get a hold of the designer, you could let them know that a specific theme and its menu text color did not work for your system. My light reptile skin worked well with my systems, and another's but a user on this list stated it was not working for them. SO, I decided to make a really dark version of the same theme and using white text instead of black. Sorry this does not help you. For me there are a lot of themes out there that seemed to have dark images and dark text, or others where the text color was not standing out enough to use.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reptile Skin design for a 4.0.0 Persona / 33+ designs for LO 4.0.0Persona/Themes
Edit: Just noticed that LibreOffice does not use the defined text coloring. I do not know where you can change the font color of the menus. So, I wonder why LO is not using the persona/theme menu colors. Since LO's menu text color is black, you will have to use the lighter colored themes.

It is very verbose! --Dan It might be 'skip-networking' in your config (read:my.cnf) means that MySQL will not listen to any network interface. Yuou will still be able to connect to localhost, because its something 'sepecial' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost The public releases of the MySQL database differentiate between localhost and 127.0.0.1. When using localhost from a client program, say a PHP application, then MySQL connects to the database using a Unix domain socket rather than making a direct TCP connection[7][8]. To ensure a TCP connection to the database in IPv4 then use 127.0.0.1. Umm. Are you sure about that? I am not an expert, but it has been my experience that if skip-networking is enabled, then localhost will not work either. As you say, there are two ways to access the server: the network or the Unix socket. The MySQL programs generally use the socket. However, LO Base and, more specifically, the connector driver, use the network interface. When users complain about not being able to connect to MySQL, I suggest commenting out the skip-networking directive and when they do, they are able to connect. That implies that localhost is controlled by skip-networking. localhost may indeed be something special, but I think in this respect, it isn't. If you do an ifconfig while root (Linux), you will see that the lo (loopback) interface, which is 127.0.0.1, is listed along with the hardware LAN Ethernet interface(s). So it is treated at the same level as the Ethernet interface in the IP (Internet Protocol) stack. BTW, the last sentence of the wiki you quote doesn't make sense. Under *nix, the name localhost is defined as 127.0.0.1 (the lo interface) in the /etc/hosts file. Therefor, when localhost is requested, it gets translated to 127.0.0.1 by the computer, not passed on to MySQL as a special case. MySQL should have nothing to do with this translation, so it would never see the name localhost. That said, it seems that the connector driver could make that translation for MySQL. I don't know the interior details of the connector, but It could get the localhost name from Base and then process it. It could make a special case of localhost and vector subsequent requests to the socket. However, as I said, that has not been my experience. Just my 2-cents.

Yes, the Star Trek theme/persona has defined the color of the menu text to white [or there about] and LibreOffice does not pick up the specified font color. IT might be fixed for the next version, but I would think someone will need to make a bug report for it. Maybe then it can be officially addressed as a bug.

I test my persona/theme designs with Firefox before I submit them. I do not know of a way to do that with LibreOffice, but maybe later. Of course, if you can get a hold of the designer, you could let them know that a specific theme and its menu text color did not work for your system. My light reptile skin worked well with my systems, and another's but a user on this list stated it was not working for them. SO, I decided to make a really dark version of the same theme and using white text instead of black. Sorry this does not help you. For me there are a lot of themes out there that seemed to have dark images and dark text, or others where the text color was not standing out enough to use.

I'm using a persona from Firefox and I have click on a spot where I think the correct menu is to get the drop down. In Firefox and Thunderbird all of the text in the menu bar is white so the black background doesn't hide, but in Libre the text remains in black, so the text is lost in the background.

So decide, dark background and white text or light background with the default black text. OR you could go and make a theme yourself and submit it to Firefox and get it approved. Then use that one.

[libreoffice-users] .docx documents with graphic, not opening correctly
LibreOffice: Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:103)) released by SUSE LibreOffice: Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89) releases by TDF. I have both versions above installed. see signature for OS and KDE versions, both with latest updates. Both of the above LO versions have the problem. I can open a .docx document if it is all text with no problems. If the document like a new letter I get in .docx format is opened the graphics are missing, or partically there or off set from where they should be. I even created a new user and logged in as him, then using SUSE version of LO4.0.0.3 tried the same document with the same results. Also I just took a copy of a news letter I am getting ready to send out ( generated in .odf format) and saved it as a .docx document. the formating was totally messed up and graphics were messed up also (graphics in wrong place, text in wrong place probably caused by graphics being wrong, some graphics just plain blank box, etc. On 3.6.x versions of Lo I did not have this problem. Before I report this as a bug I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem? Please let me know what else I can provide?
