[libreoffice-users] LO4.01 and msvcp100.dll
I upgraded from 3.5 to 4.01 yesterday and the new version seems to work fine - Windows 7 Premium x64,. But this morning when I tried to open one of my other programs (xplorer2, a windows explorer replacment) it complained that a file, msvcp100.dll, was missing. I managed to download a copy of it from the web and copied it to my windows/system folder and that has sorted that issue out. I see there was some discussion of this and related files elsewhere on here. Is it possible that the install program has incorrectly deleted it?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO4.01 and msvcp100.dll
Hi :) You will notice that was a very old thread. It's a rare event that you will probably not be able to repeat on any future install or other messing around with your system even if you deliberately try breaking things. Windows just does weird things like that occasionally. Most systems suffer some sort of system rot over time. Some much worse than others but all suffer from it. Now that you have fixed it you'll probably never see that particular dll problem again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Horizontal alignment of text in table cells
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I found in part the answer to my own question. Any text in a cell is also a paragraph. If the paragraph style used in a cell provides for spacing on any or all four sides of a paragraph, then those spaces override the spacing in the borders tab. So I managed to fix most of the cells by adjusting the spacing in the paragraphs used, but there is still one row with three cells where the spacing in the border tab and in the paragraph style are all zero, yet the spacing is still much larger on the top and bottom than I really want.

Hi :) Lqtm :) Thanks :) Yes, it's a magic waggle the wires type of answer that a lot of much more knowledgeable people miss. On Ubuntu's Launchpad pseudo-forums for questions about sound issues i got used to asking the standard questions Mark Rijckenburg would usually ask, to save him the time.

Just doing that seemed to fix around 60%-80% of problems!
