My version of Libre Office (4.0.2.2) on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 13.04) has a feature that I decidedly don’t want: illustrating the styles in the pull-down style menu in the actual typeface and size (some huge, some tiny). I’ve searched everywhere for the option of turning it off, but with no success.

First three digits, not first digit. The fourth and subsequent digits should be uniformly distributed. The striking thing about variates that follow Benford's Law is indeed that the initial digits are not equally distributed. But such variates don't stop being what they are after some arbitrary number of significant figures - whether it be one, three, or any other. The values come from the distribution - so all their decimal digits are part of the story. If you want values that follow Benford's Law up to three digits, you can easily take the true values from my suggested formula, truncate (or round?) them after three digits, and add further random digits selected from a uniform distribution. But I'm not at all sure why you would want to do this. Does the source of this suggestion mean merely that, although the early digits are not uniformly distributed, later ones are more nearly so - and that there is little point in worrying about the difference after, say, three digits? If so, there is equally no point in worrying that these later digits might be too right!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Visible currency rounding
Hi :) I think the equation is unnecessarily over-complicated? Surely it should just be something like K50 = Sum of the price of all products ? K51 = Round (Tax) ? Total to pay = K50 + K51 or maybe do an extra round just to make completely sure Total to pay = Round (K50 + K51) So, in Swedish K51 = HELTAL (Tax) ? Total to pay = HELTAL (K50 + K51) The trickiest bit should be the Tax calculation which is surely just Tax = K50 x Vat% Assuming none of the products is exempt from Vat or rated at a different Vat%! In England i think we have to truncate instead of Round. So K51 = AVKORTA ( K50 x Vat% ) but even if you do have to do that in Sweden the final figure should still be rounded Total to pay = Round (K50 + K51) Regards from Tom :) From: Marino / WellnessWebshop.se mar...@wellnesswebshop.se To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Sunday, 14 July 2013, 8:11 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Visible currency rounding Hi!

Most add a little bit (few extra commands and stuff) to the basic language to help ensure that people can't easily switch to another program even though they all ostensibly use Sql. Db = Database H is the only bit that distinguishes exactly which program is being talked about. Note that other programs also use Sql or Db in their name. For example MySql/MariaDb, Postgresql. Only Access doesn't have any of that in it's name. Of course MS make many claims that Access does use Sql but it's such a heavily tweaked version of Sql that it's almost unrecognisable.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice website security
Hi :) I think it is a legitmate concern especially if you only have one machine to look after and therefore can't afford to do any experimentation with using different antivirus programs. I was hoping that the chap would download the Windows version on a GnuLinux box and then run an antivirus scan using something other than Avira. He did kindly re-download but then scanned with Avira again. I've finally got around to sitting at an Xp machine and downloaded LibreOffice 4.04. The Xp machine here is running Microsoft Security Essentials and Avg. Neither complained about the LO downloads. In Firefox it did give me the bar at the top, saying Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. The download didn't start straight away so i clicked on the link, inside the page, that said If your download does not start automatically, please click here. Then i tried the page again and this time when the bar appeared in clicked on the Allow button to allow the page to automatically redirect to another page. This way around the download also started. I guess i should really download Avira and try the whole thing again to see if Avira complains on that Xp machine. If you don't trust your antivirus then why use it? You really have to take notice if it grumbles about something otherwise what is the point in having it? All antivirus programs have problems with false-positives but when the program grumbles you have to consider that it really might have found something. I typically try to run 2 antivirus programs on Windows but i would be stuck if one grumbled and the other didn't. Which one would i trust? Of course having any active program running all the time in the background is going to impact on performance and having 2 (that also might conflict with each other) is going to hurt even more. [shrugs] But then if people cared about the speed of their machine they wouldn't be using Windows in the first place.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QA Triage Contest
Hi :) Errr, that graph is rather confusing me. It's good when it dips lower, right? Although could that be bad in some way? Does it mean less bugs being reported? If less bugs ARE being reported then is that because of less bugs or less people using LO or less confidence in the bug-reporting system? (Obviously it's not because of less people because we know that LO usage is sky-rocketing) Any chance of seeing a graph of bugs that ARE confirmed? ie ones that are getting through the triage filtering process.

Hi :) So, from Spanish into English (using Quick Translate because it seems to make some amusing gaffs but is mostly fairly good) Regards, I write first to congratulate and thank you all for continuing to develop this noble project. I would report that the official website of LibreOffice is appearing with me certificate errors, using IE browser version 9.0.8112.16421.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pull-down styles menu
Seamas, If I understand you correctly, you don't like the font preview pull-down when selecting a font in the toolbar? Have you tried: Tools - Options - Libreoffice - View And under Font Lists, uncheck Show preview of fonts This is in 3.6.6, so 4.x may be different.

Re: [libreoffice-users] saving as docx turned very paragraph into a page break
Hi :) Try Doc instead of DocX. File - Save As ... - File Types - Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 Many companies are unaware of what format they receive as long as it opens. MS Office 2013 and Office 365 now open Odt, the right Odt. MS Office 2007 and 2010 opened the ancient version of Odt but 2013 and 365 open the one that everyone else is using. So Odt kinda works even on those. So, it's rapidly getting better for Odt but we are still probably not quite fully there yet. Quite a lot of companies are still on MS Office 2003 and just about to leap-frog onto 2010 or 2013. Still the best format right now for sharing is probably still the old Doc. For storing documents i think Odt is probably better now.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HSLQLDB syntax
To keep the record straight, Stardivision's StarOffice did not use HSQLDB. Unless the name has been changed, Stardivision used the ADABASE D database engine in their StarOffice. As far as I can research, Sun dropped the proprietary Adabase D engine in favor of HSQLDB after it took over the StarOffice code from Stardivision. I never was able to get Adabase D working for me back then, but I was ignorant of real (non-Access) databases then and the StarOffice Adabase D database documentation was terrible. Girvin Herr V Stuart Foote wrote: STOP! Anne, glad you're back but seriously? HSQLDB is the short title and Web address for HyperSQL, the Java language based SQL relational database that StarOffice then Sun chose as the imbedded database for the project. Currently we include the 1.8 release, and efforts will either see that ripped out of LibreOffice to be replaced, or the version of HSQLDB will be upgraded to a current 2.3 release.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Visible currency rounding
Tom Let me put it another way. Take the following sales: 50 items @ 1.37 VAT @20% = 68.50 VAT = 13.70 If the same items are sold separately, the VAT would be different. 1 item @ 1.37 VAT @ 20% = 0.274 for the VAT This would be rounded to 27p and 50 x 0.27 = 13.50 Rounding has caused a difference of 20p When paying tax, you are required to pay what you have collected. If you calculate as you suggest you may hand over more tax than you have collected. What I think he is looking for is a simple way of calculating the VAT due on his total with each individual item rounded down and that cannot be done. Each item has to be calculated, rounded down and then a total obtained for the rounded figures. HMRC take the view that VAT is payable on the total value of cash sales plus the VAT calculated on Invoiced sales. In my examples the VAT due would be 27.20 assuming that the 100 items sold would consist of 50 invoiced and 50 cash sales.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Errores de certificado en la web
Hi :) Thanks for reporting it! :) I don't think i have IE 9 on any machine so i can't test it myself. Also testing on just 1 or 2 machines does not mean it always happens that way on all machines. It really takes a larger sample. People on this list sometimes have a quick go on their own system(s) and report back so that we can make a better bug-report or a better report to the websites team. Note that IE is made by a 3rd party competitor that has good reason to want to see LibreOffice (and all other OpenSource products) fail. The more they can do to discredit LibreOffice the more likely they are to sell more of their own product and make more money. So, if IE doesn't behave we might not be able to do anything about it. You might notice that people in here recommend a variety of other web-browsers.

[libreoffice-users] Re: saving as docx turned very paragraph into a page break
As many suggested, word97 (doc) format worked well. Still had 3 page breaks but they cleaned up easily and remained gone through save/load. Thank you. Fyi, this is on win7.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Help for Calc Macros
Lots of questions... On 07/15/2013 10:42 PM, Harold Ek wrote: Andrew, Thank you very much for all the information that you provided! I have scanned thru most of the references you provided, but certainly have much more studying to do. Perhaps the answers are in the info but I have a couple of very basic questions. 1. Is the info describing the details to use a macro in AndrewMacro.odt directly applicable to LO macros (OO vs LO)? Should be so. In the OOME book, I embedded links to try many of the macros directly so you can tell that they work. Certainly there have been some changes, but, for the most part, things should function. At first, there was only OOo (OpenOffice.org). LO split from OOo and OOo eventually became AOO (Apache OpenOffice). So, they are all very much related. No idea how closely things will be say 10 years from now, but, major changes in the internal APIs that cause working things to no longer function are not commonly intentional (in other words, they are usually bugs if it happens). 2. What exactly must I do to subscribe to the 'User's mailing list'. Is this like a forum where I should submit my question to the list and then review it frequently to uncover any responses? From here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/ I find this link: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ That link recommends that you send an email here: users+subscr...@global.libreoffice.org mailto:users+subscr...@global.libreoffice.org Note that then you will receive all the emails for the list. Every email for the list provides instructions as to how unsubscribe if you receive too many email messages * * * * ***(**HAROLD* *)*** On 7/15/2013 5:34 PM, - Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote: Mr. Ek, I recommend that you subscribe to the user's mailing list and ask there; Jean forwarded your request to that list already. I am responding to the list and using CC for you in case you are not already subscribed. There are numerous materials available related to macro programming, including the help pages. If you are not versed in LO macro programming, examples may be useful to start, and there is a macro recorder. A link to AndrewMacro.odt (below) includes numerous examples, as does OOME (also available from my web site). Ignoring my web site, check here https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications Getting Started With Macros is very similar to chapter 1 in OOME (that was the starting point for the chapter). https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/0c/GS4013-GettingStartedWithMacros.odt Calc Macros https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/d/d7/CG4012-CalcMacros.odt Calc as a Simple Database (has lots of macro stuff I think) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/4/4a/CG4013-CalcAsASimpleDatabase.odt Enough to get you started I hope?
