Thank you both for the input.

I have searched on Nabble and not found Brian's succint method and despite
looking at the manual and the vlookup command was unable to apply it to my
situation.
I would be happy to change the many IF formulae I have to use vlookup, but I
need some assistance in one cell on using the formula with the layout of the
data I have.

If you feel challenged towards producing better formulae usage or even feel
mathematically challenged, please have a look on Nabble for the uploaded
file and using the TAB Data2 try and get the currency value of H4 from the
value in G4 using the sliding scale on F20:O20

What is strange is that on entering the Function Wizard on H4 to edit the
formula, placing my cursor on the 2nd last line of the formulae I get the
CORRECT  answer displaying in the the 'Function Result' window but not in
the 'Result' window of the Function Wizrd. Of course pressing OK then gives
the incorrect answer ie 751.25 as opposed to the correct one of 751.52.

Appreciated
Hylton

2013-10-13 Thread CougarB
As I stated earlier in the thread, I have a working solution, right now,
but I would prefer to stop using M$ for ideological reasons. I'm not
looking for a work around, but a replacement. That's why I created this
thread and that's why I also filed a feature request in Bugzilla for the
same thing. And by the way, this single issue also is a deal breaker for
using Linux, so this one issue influences everything.

I had a Linux partition on my last computer, but I found that I had to
duplicate resources by having them on both partitions. When I ran out of
space and had to replace the partition, I resented Linux, because I was
only using it for ideological reasons, and I could not leave Windows behind
until I had a fully functioning Office suite, with an integrated outliner.
So in reality, the lack of outliner functionality is a deal breaker for me
for everything, including whether or not I use Linux.

 I took a look at Leo, Jedit, and OPML, and frankly, none of them are as

 outline, then move over to a word processing mode without losing the
 outline structure, and work with formatting and other elements that are

 outline format, I even want to just experience my novel as it will be read

Without using m$, it would seem that the outliner feature may be one
reason for document instability; how does moving of nodes cope with
internal cross-references and bibliographic references for example?
How stable is outliner functionality with images?

The options to proceed:

Change your behaviour and adapt to use LO writer styles

Carry out benefit-cost analysis of you using m$ compared to learning
programming to implement outline behaviour in LO, perhaps as an LO
extension. In this case you should contact the LO programmers and
others for further help to build such an extension.

Use a text editor, then import to LO writer and apply styles
accordingly (could use find  replace function)

2013-10-13 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)  
I often make the GnuLinux partitions quite small and keep the majority of my 
files on the Windows side.  

Ironically my network file-shares are all on Debian so i kinda go from my 
GnuLinux system into the Windows side to hunt around and then use links from 
there into the Debian.  (Unless i knew it was on the server right from the 
start and was able to dodge hunting through Windows folders.  


As we have probably said many times before on this list there is often 1 or 2 
things that you don't know how to do on the newer system and that often means 
going back to Windows to do those 1 or 2 things.  As you become more familiar 
the number of things you have to go back for drops quite a bit but it does 
usually leave 1 or 2 things that linger on for ages after.  

Obviously when you first start it's all new to you so you probably spend most 
time in Windows and only occasionally bounce over to the other but one day you 
find you have tipped the other way.  For me it was when i found Wesnoth and the 
same weekend my neighbour fixed multimedia.  Nowadays multimedia seems to work 
straight out of the box and 0AD looks better.  

Generally if i have to use Windows it's an older version of Windows or older 
software.  I don't really need to keep things so up-to-date anymore.  At the 
moment it is hilarious to watch people 'having to' shell out loads of money to 
replace their 'old' versions of MSO 2010 which are now out-dated compared to 
what people are buying on newer home machines.  One chap has bought 3 different 
versions of MS Office within the last year and still has problems with people 
not being able to open his files because they are on a different version.  

Incidentally i am sorry we couldn't find a suitable replacement but i'm glad to 
hear you have at least found a work-around.  It sounds like you are nearing 
your tipping point.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

yes it does and the same link works flawlessly on text

 I have found that when i have an image inside a frame i tend to get the

 Hello,

 I've been having problems with certain type of *references* in Calc.

 For example, the formula sum(1:2) works correctly in other
 spreadsheet software, but it errors in Calc.

I was not aware that you could do that in any product. It is not 
supported in Calc of which I am aware. Villeroy has a messy solution 
(see post 6). Well, you probably should read all the posts...

http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9t=9527

So, the ony soltions I have seen based on a quick search is to either 
define a range, or to use offset.


 The most problematic cases are related to functions such as
 indirect(), address() and the like. For example, the following
 formula should tell whether a number in A1 is prime or not:

 =SUMPRODUCT(1*(MOD(A1,ROW(INDIRECT(1:INT(A1^0.5=0))=1

 but Calc doesn't seem to accept the type of reference
 (ini_row:fin_row). Instead I have to add a column to the
 reference, as in:

 =SUMPRODUCT(1*(MOD(A1,ROW(INDIRECT(a1:aINT(A1^0.5=0))=1

 to make it work in Calc.

 There are several settings that affect the way Calc parses and shows
 some type of cell references, so I wonder whether there is some
 setting that I should change for Calc to be able to accept this type
 of references (ini_row:fin_row), or whether this is some kind of
 bug or lack of a feature.

 A similar issue happens with column-only references, such as
 sum(A:B).

 To be clear, I'm not saying that row-only (or column-only) references
 are better in any way. I'm just trying to make them work as in (a.k.a
 compatible with) other spreadsheet software.

 If there is a better place (mailing list, irc, forum,...) to ask this
 question, please let me know.

 TIA,
 Ady.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stopping superscript text in Calc

2013-10-13 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)  
In Writer when i type in a date i carry on with the rest of it and then select 
the couple of letters i wanted as superscript and then 
Format - Character - Font Effects - Superscript
this ensures that subsequent characters have already been typed in so it's only 
the selected characters that get affected.  Similarly with almost all other 
formatting.  Otherwise i have to 
1.  turn the formatting on, 
2.  type in whatever text i wanted
3.  turn the formatting off again
which interrupts my train of thought twice rather than just once.  With bold 
it's less of an issue because it's just 
Ctrl b 
rather than needing to reach for the mouse so it's easier to do on the fly.  


With Calc i suddenly realised i always write dates as numbers such as 
23-10-2013
Other people seem to prefer 
23/10/2013 
but then find it a problem to interpret incomplete dates scribbled hastily on 
post-it's and have to quizz the original author as to what the date really was. 
 

Anyway i found i didn't know how to apply formatting to just parts within a 
cell in Calc!  I'm sure i will figure it out through rtfm or by just playing 
around with it.

Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: Feature Request: Lack of Outliner Functionality a Deal Breaker for Me

2013-10-13 Thread CougarB
None of the work-arounds have the value of going back and forth constantly
between outliner and word processor functions. It's not costing me tonnes
of money--when I had to buy a new computer, since it had to be Windows
because of the fact that nothing yet replaces Word, that's what I bought.
Then I installed all my old software on it. My Adobe is out of date, so I
used other stuff. My M$ Office 2003 works just fine, so I don't have to
replace any software for my new computer. The Linux partition was the only
reason I had to buy another computer at that time, but I would have run out
of space sooner or later, anyway, so rather than eliminate the Linux
computer, I just bought another one.

But I only use Windows today for one reason--the outliner in Word. Nothing
else is essential. And none of the workarounds suggested hold a candle to
what I need. Maybe Scrivener, which has enough features that I like that I
can see potentially using that as my means of dumping Windows.

I have some PHP code that I haven't uploaded yet on the Linux partition of
the old computer, so I had to keep that computer  partition so that I
wouldn't lose my work, mainly because I'm too lazy to deal with a low
priority upload at this moment. My current IDE is ShiftEdit which runs on
any OS, because I'm not going to let myself get trapped in one OS or the
other until I'm ready to dump Windows all together, which depends on
finding a full-featured word processor that allows seamless switching back
and forth between outliner and print/normal modes. Literally everything
about that switch depends on finding a Linux office suite that does
everything I want regarding the outliner. Otherwise, I'm stuck with Windows
forever.

My new laptop has a 17-inch screen, which is better for the kind of work
I'm constantly doing, but I'm annoyed at Windows 8, and it just makes me
wish with more desire for LO to actually be able to replace what I do now.

I do have one small fear, which is probably groundless. I have a document
in Word which is almost 1.5 million words long, and which has around 15,000
cross references. In an early version of OO, I couldn't pull in an earlier
version of this document without breaking OO. I'm a little nervous about my
doc in LO, but I haven't tried it, and since what I have isn't broken, I'm
not taking a whole lot of time to investigate. In addition, I've taken most
of the cross references and imported them into the PHP and database, which
is the ultimate destination of the entire 1.5 million-word project, thereby
producing a prototype with 720 dynamic pages on the web. (This prototype
only contains a small portion of the 1.5 million words, but it covers the
entire set of cross-references.) So theoretically, the need to maintain all
of those cross-references in a doc is no longer so important.

This is a project I dreamed up when computers weighed twenty tonnes and ate
punch cards, and when hypertext hadn't been invented yet. I've been
collecting/inventing/writing the content ever since. I'm now actualizing it
exactly as dreamed, including the UI. Where the hell did that dream come
from, eh?

PS. And by the way, I had the entire project visualized as some sort of
open-source back in 1976, which is interesting, given that open-source was
a rare concept back then. I don't yet have enough of the infrastructure
built, yet, to begin to actualize that part of the vision, but then, I've
at least started with the basic plugins that will form the infrastructure
for opening up the content to allow multiple authors, and I've got plans.
I'm used to thinking long-term. I'm a beginner in both PHP and JavaScript
programming, so it will take a while. But then 1.5 million words already
took a while. It'll take the time it takes.

Working without a fully integrated outliner/word processor would slow me
down.

 As suggested by someone, freemind can achieve nice node collapse/expansion

[libreoffice-users] Retrieve a specific message from the ML

2013-10-13 Thread Ady
Hello,

I am trying to retrieve a specific message from the mailing list (so 
to reply to it), by sending an empty message to
  users+ge...@global.libreoffice.org  

as per the help from  users+h...@global.libreoffice.org .

I have already sent a mail according to the specific msg number I 
want to retrieve, but have not received an answer.

If the msg number would be, say, 12345, is
  users+get-12...@global.libreoffice.org  

the correct address? Or, am I doing something wrong?

TIA,
Ady.

Looks fine.

I just tried it with your mail and it worked (but took rather long,
about 5 minutes)

Are you sure you are subscribed to the list?

Are you sending from your subscription address?

Did you choose an appropriate N ? E.g. for your mail, to which I'm
actually responding, it's the 34301 - the number from the Return-path
header line.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stopping superscript text in Calc

 Subject: [libreoffice-users] stopping superscript text in Calc

 Been having the problem for a long time.  Using Calc, I write a date,
 Oct 23rd, (I add the rd which shows as a superscript. Problem is
 whenever I add new text to the cell, it is in the superscript size, not
 regular text.

 John



 I took the list's advise of turning off the superscript function. If 
 enough people are aggravated by the anomaly, it will be adjusted.

 Thanks,
 John

Just for the record, it is not necessary to follow John's more extreme
solution.

For recent versions of LO (eg. 4.1.2.3) placing a full stop/period/dot
or comma immediately after the superscript rd reverts any following text
to normal size.

Dave

Thank you both for the input.

I have searched on Nabble and not found Brian's succint method and despite
looking at the manual and the vlookup command was unable to apply it to my
situation.
I would be happy to change the many IF formulae I have to use vlookup, but I
need some assistance in one cell on using the formula with the layout of the
data I have.

If you feel challenged towards producing better formulae usage or even feel
mathematically challenged, please have a look on Nabble for the uploaded
file and using the TAB Data2 try and get the currency value of H4 from the
value in G4 using the sliding scale on F20:O20

What is strange is that on entering the Function Wizard on H4 to edit the
formula, placing my cursor on the 2nd last line of the formulae I get the
CORRECT  answer displaying in the the 'Function Result' window but not in
the 'Result' window of the Function Wizrd. Of course pressing OK then gives
the incorrect answer ie 751.25 as opposed to the correct one of 751.52.

Appreciated
Hylton

Thank you for the info.

Well, apparently, finding the correct msg number is part of the 
problem.

Let's assume I sent the wrong number, I should be able to receive at 
least the msg that corresponds to *that* number (since I am already 
subscribed to the list). I waited for much more than 5 minutes 
without receiving *any* reply to my request (sent to users+get...), 
independently of the number I used.

But the more important issue regarding this matter is to be able to 
find out the correct number without having the original message (the 
one that I'm trying to retrieve). Evidently, I won't be able to 
read the Return-path value before I have the msg.

I thought that the msg number would correspond with the number 
presented in the mail archives (34065 would correspond to my first 
email in this thread, according to the mail archives, which is of 
course different from 34301 from the aforementioned Return-path).

So, let's start from the beginning, with the relevant info that is 
not included in the help of this ML: How a user can obtain the 
correct msg number so to use it in
  users+ge...@global.libreoffice.org  ?

I would expect for the answer to that question to be somehow related 
to the public mailing list archive, but it seems I am wrong.

So, anyone knows the correct answer / method?

TIA,
Ady.

[libreoffice-users] Installing LibreOffice Updates In Linux

2013-10-13 Thread Help_Please
I am currently running v4.1.2.3 on my copy of Linux Mint Cinnamon.  No
problem to speak of regarding this.  However, my question is this  from
what I have seem (searched) online about installing LibreOffice on Linux, I
saw a requirement to uninstall/remove any previous version of LibreOffice
before installing the new version using the Terminal.  is this still
necessary?  Thanks.
