Re: [libreoffice-users] web-search application apparently linked to libreoffice download link...
Hi :) Thanks :) The only thing wrong appears to be the extra software that was not clearly labelled as being separate from LibreOffice. It is fine for 3rd party sites to provide LibreOffice for download. Similarly for 3rd parties providing LibreOffice on Cd/Dvd or other physical media along with other software. People can even charge for providing the service and/or for the physical media as long as they provide links to the free Source Code. If they charge there is some expectation of them providing some reasonable share of the profit back into the LibreOffice community. I think such endeavours can use the Community Logo https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice_external_logo_300px.png as described in this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Logo_resources_for_community_members_and_external_use The problems arise when people make modifications. My feeling is that clicking on a download link on a 3rd party site and 1st getting some 3rd party tool that is not LibreOffice means it's a modification and shouldn't use the logo or the name. I guess we should push this to the marketing list for them to take care of?

[libreoffice-users] Tracking changes in LibO writer
Hello list I am attempting to edit a document using (track) changes. I have selected record and show changes under Edit and under Options - LibreOffice Writer - Changes have selected that the text display is light red, as are all deletions, attributes, etc. However, when editing a document, the changes continue to be in the original text colour (i.e. black) although a red line appears in the left hand margin where a change was made (which is what I want). What I also want, but which isn't happening, is for the changed/ edited text is not red. So, while a mark in the margin shows that text has been changed, I also want to ensure that the (changed) text is also red. How do I go about doing this? Also, BTW: what purpose is there in recording changes but not showing them, which the Edit - Changes menu allows for? Wouldn't it be more straight forward to simply enable changes that will - by default - both record and show the changes? Thanks for any help. This is in LibO 4.0.3.3 on GNU/Linux Mint.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base/MySQL Backup??
My question now is - Where does MySQL store the Database and how do I track it down to make a backup?? You'll have to use the MySQL administration tool for that. LO only sees a server running at an IP address listening to a specific port. It has no means to know where the data is. And I still recommend PostgreSQL over MySQL. ;-) Among others, it allows backing up a database while live.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base/MySQL Backup??
Sajan, The only problem I see with a cron job is a security issue. I assume you are putting your MySQL password(s) in your cron job script, since mysqldump requires it. I would not recommend doing that. I have a system backup script which I manually run monthly. It does not include the passwords. When that script runs, mysqldump prompts me for the password, I enter it, and off it goes. I might add that I have been using mysqldump for several years and I have not had any problems with it or with retrieving the database data from its backup files. I need to retrieve the backup when I upgrade MySQL, in order to restore my databases in the new version. It works fine, even when I upgraded from MySQL 5.0.67 to 5.5.29.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base/MySQL Backup??
I don't see the security issue in mysqldump using a cron. You can throw your password in a mysqldump.cnf file and make it only readable by your user. You can combine that with what Steve said and use a special MySQL user as well. -- *Sajan Parikh* *Web Consultant, Noppix LLC* *Work* - 563.726.0371 *Cell *- 563.447.0822 *Fax* - 563.726.0122 *Email *- sa...@noppix.com On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 4:06 PM, Steve Edmonds steve.edmo...@ptglobal.comwrote: Hi Girvin.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to extract a color from a text?
Hi all: I think in Calc you can use copy and paste special (Select only format). In Writer you can select the word or letter that have the color you need to know. Then you can go to Menu - Format -Character- Font Color and there you can see the Number of the color (Grafico 10 -in spanish in my case as example). Now you can find it in the icon of the color select ... there you can see the number when you put the pointer of the mouse on each color.

There might be an easier way, but if you use an unzip file to look at the zip'd contents of a .odt file, you'll find content.xml. In there will be style definitions that include colours specified in hexadecimal. For example, from a little test file that I made: style:style style:name=T4 style:family=textstyle:text-properties fo:color=#008000//style:style text:span text:style-name=T4green/text:span You can then use Tools Options LibreOffice Colours to add any desired colour to your GUI.
