[libreoffice-users] Re: KDE integration
Le 09/03/13 01:20 AM, F Glopez a écrit : Hi Jay, I did what you proposed ... I added ppa:libreoffice/ppa to my sources , looked for libreoffice-kde package, installed it and some of its dependencies ( a couple of upstream packages had to be removed ) . Unfortunately it seems LibreOffice upstream packages didn't cohabited properly with ppa:libreoffice/ppa ones ( LibreOffice didn't even started ) , so ... I fully uninstalled upstream LibreOffice and finally installed LO 4.0.1 from ppa:libreoffice/ppa . Well, I have to say something ... I had initially decided installing LO from upstream after almost two years running with ppa:libreoffice/ppa . I decided to made this change after suffering several problems regarding 'Partial Upgrades' , this is a very unconfortable issue where you have to uninstall quite a lot of packages to reinstall them again and ... even in that position, you may be unable to upgrade your LO version. I have decided to give a last opportunity to ppa:libreoffice/ppa , but either way, I believe the proper solution would be to include 'KDE Integration' packages on LibreOffice upstream. Does anybody know if this is a plausible/planned solution ? Thanks a lot. Although I do not use Ubuntu linux, I use Mageia2 Linux with KDE. I install the freedesktop menus that are found in the Desktop Integration file folder, and the menus work well with KDE. I am not sure if this would work with Ubuntu.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: About.com Readers' Choice Awards 2013 for Office Software
Hi :) I suspect that the 55% for AOO in business is due to LibreOffice voters not finding an option to vote for Libreoffice. In such cases the votes seem to be split between Google-docs and AOO because they are the 2 suite that are most similar to LibreOffice. Likewise where AOO is not listed i suspect their voters are torn between voting for Google-docs or LibreOffice. When i first voted i was determined to vote everyday but then forgot after the 2nd day. I suspect that AOO is more dedicated to voting because of the early massive lead LibreOffice had. In my opinion LibreOffice and AOO should be offered as 1 single choice because the products are so similar. We don't see the MS Office vote split between the various different bundles or different versions. It would be interesting to see how many in the Academics Section just carried on using whatever came with the machine rather than deliberately going out and getting the Student Edition of MSO. Machines seldom come with LibreOffice/AOO preinstalled so votes for them are from people that have found good reason NOT to stick with whatever they already had on their machine. Votes for MSO are often a vote to just a vote for inability, apathy, ignorance or even fear of their machine. MSO 'should' be winning in the votes because of the percentages of people using it and their resistance to change. The fact it isn't points more to apathy of MS users.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Currency conversion/display in calc
Hi Steve, I only have 4.0.1.2 installed, but my guess is that with the comma in there, or possibly the dollar sign, or maybe both, when you are pasting it, calc thinks it is text and not a number. That causes the left alignment and not being dividable since text can't be divided. Don On 03/09/2013 01:00 AM, Steve Edmonds wrote: Hi.

Well, I don't know what the OP usually does, but maybe he goes to a website somewhere, highlight a a table or something and then paste it into calc? Of course he could then do a Search/Replace to get rid of the thousands separator and the dollar sign, and form there it is probably quite a lot easier to do the rest. But it feels like that's at least one step too much… It's easy to create a macro that does all the necessary Search/Replace steps in one single step, though.

Steve I use LO 3.6.5.2 from the LO website. When I write $2,441.99, Calc recognizes it as a currency. When I copy it and then paste it into a cell, I get the Import Options dialog. At its bottom is the Options and a box that should be checked any time the data contains special numbers such as dates, currencies, etc. So I have 2 ways to paste currency: click the box in the Option section, or paste special. However, if you have gotten you version of LO from a repository rather than from the LO website, your version may not have the Import Options dialog. --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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro Security Settings
Perhaps macro is not run due to error? LibreOffice does not use VBA, as MS Office does; it uses Star Basic instead. It tries to translate VBA to SB on the fly, but most of time it fails to do so. I bet this is your case. I am afraid you must rewrite your macro to Star Basic, so LO will be able to run it. Or try with MS Office (although they might have changed API in past 10 years, in which case your macro will not run anyway). -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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] Basic macro – How to get locale info?
I want my macro to find out my current decimal separator and thousands delimiter. Did some searching without any kinds of results. With xray I found my language, but not much more than that.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro Security Settings
Hi :) I think there are 4 different languages that can be used to create macros for LibreOffice. Java is going down the pan now that Oracle run it so it might be best to use Python? The LibreOffice devs are currently converting all java stuff to other languages, i think mostly to Python or C++.

I have this sinking feeling that converting to star basic is a step backwards in time, not forward. Is there any other *current* program this BASIC is compatible with?
