Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: low traffic lately?
Why is, do you think, that people feel the need to apologise on this very list for bottom-posting? Because of my ad-hominem attacks? It must be, because all the bottom-posters on this list are angels of forbearance, while all the top-posters are repeatedly admonishing bottom-posters to please, please, top-post.

[libreoffice-users] diff of 2 docx files
Hello. Is it possible to have a diff between 2 .docx files in libreoffice? Or with any other tool, I do not really mind... I am not fond of office suites, but at my work they sent me an outdated document describing what I have to do, and when I asked about some details ( or errors, in fact ) in it, they sent me a different ( but still with errors... ) version of the same document. With a simple text file, I could have made a diff ( lot of tools for that ) but I have no idea about how to do it with docx files. I have obviously tried to unzip them, and use diff and meld on resulting files, but those files are so messy, that I thought that, maybe, they are encrypted of whatever! Now that I think about it, I could do a diff of files made through a copy/paste of the text... but that would be quite dirty. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Removing Index Markers from Writer: a How-To
Hi Frank, This script works on OS X, to the extent that does the conversions and creates new filtered odt files. The only questions are whether it works in Linux, and whether the filter does the right thing with the index markers. I haven't created any files with such index-markers, so maybe you can run it against your files to see how it goes. http://pbw.id.au/src/sh/strip-odt-index-markers It's a shell script, using soffice and perl.

Since LO can easily write and read fodt files, though, it really wasn't necessary to do any file format conversion, and I didn't bother spending the time to figure out how to do everything in one shot.

This might be connected with the fact that the print menu does not display a thumbnail of the current page you are on, in the print dialog [4.1.4 Ubuntu]. This is not the case with other packages, and I do not remember if this was the case with the 4.0.6 version. So if the thumbnail in the print dialog defaults to page 1 and not the current page, that may be connected to which page is bookmarked in the system to go back to when done with printing. You use to be able to, for Ubuntu, choose from two print dialog menus, standard and LO. I had to choose LO's dialog to fix some duplex printing issues for an earlier version. Now you only had a choice whether or not you want to use the standard or the LO dialogs for the load/save options. That printing dialog choice was on Ubuntu, but not Windows. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed in the later 4.1.x versions and the print menu display would show the current page with the 4.2.x line. That would be ideal for me. I am waiting for a later version of 4.2.x before I upgrade to it from the 4.1.x line. I went from 4.0.6 to 4.1.4 and jumped over the earlier 4.1.x versions. This is my habit to wait with the current line's .4 to .7 till the new line gets to .4 or .5, most time that is. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

I think that is what Anne-ology is alluding to. Ah, ok, I didn't know that, thanks. However, the situation is that if I save the output of the mailmerge directly as a pdf (good LO, I didn't know that was a possibility) I get this behaviour, whereas if I save the exact same mailmerge output as an odt document and then save *that* as a pdf, all the pages are, correctly, landscape. It is a single page document that I mailmerge from, tho' I s'pose that could still have a first page options set. However, the fact that there is a difference between the two different save strategies, surely, indicates a bug. Doncha think? Sounds like no-one else has come across this behaviour though.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Removing Index Markers from Writer: a How-To
Peter: The actual perl command should be changed slightly to: perl -pi'orig_*' -e 's/text:alphabetical-index-mark text:string-value=[[:alpha:]]*\///g' Index_Experiment.fodt After [[:alpha:]]* the \/ needs to be added to remove the / ending of the XML tag - otherwise it seems to work fine. The full blown shell script you sent me (I don't see it here on the forum for some reason) needs to be modified in the same way of course. I used [A-Za-z] instead of the [:alpha:] that you used because some systems don't respect that substitution syntax (I can't remember what it's called), which limits things just a bit, but a comment might be added to take care of that - the [:alpha:] syntax, again, is probably a little easier to understand for those not familiar with grep, sed and their relatives. You should post the shell script, as it is probably easier to use (?) for some folks than my simple sed command, since it takes care of hand-holding, locating the right directories and so forth. Of course, I hope some of the LibreOffice developers will incorporate the option and capability to remove old markers when an index is regenerated, and fix the generator so that it doesn't add additional markers to the same word when updating takes place. (It doesn't always do that, but I haven't figured out the exact conditions when it does).

Re: [libreoffice-users] *Persistent* System Level Custom Options?
Stephan (and others), Thanks again for your reply. With your help here and from the bug report referenced earlier I have been able to successfully create an .oxt that will set our preferred settings. As it is a shared extension it sits between the system settings (which are overridden on new version upgrade) and the user settings. So, a user can still override these settings should they wish. Sorry, my DevGuide URL was wrong, it should be https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extensions. Unfortunately this seems offline today, as it is just displaying an empty page. I got it from Google Cache, however, and with your other example links was able to put something together. I would hope that somehow http://extensions.libreoffice.org would link to a how to make extensions for beginners guide, which could be the AOO docs for now as a minimum. For an example configuration-only extension, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69609#c3 has a link to http://www.linuxtag.org/2012/fileadmin/www.linuxtag.org/slides/Thorsten%20Behrens%20-%20LibreOffice%20configuration%20management%20-%20Tools_%20approaches%20and%20best%20practices.p331.pdf which in turn has a link to http://users.freedesktop.org/~thorsten/extensions/config_only_sample.oxt. For anyone interested, here then is my first stab at creating an extension which will set our required system wide defaults. It is installed with unopkg add --shared ssg-defaults.oxt https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0WVXg1DL6duNkE2WUFZWGFETEE For first timers (this was me until yesterday), the .oxt source can be viewed the same as a .zip archive (can even change the extension to .zip if you like: they are interchangeable but you want it as an .oxt in the finished form) For some of the settings, they aren't correctly seen by the user until after we remove the user's pre-existing registrymodifications.xcu (even if we didn't intentionally have any of those values overridden). It is my guess that is because there are some of the keys listed in the default generated registrymodifications.xcu that conflict -- if it was generated BEFORE the installation of this newly created extension.

Could it be you're using a mail client that only produces poorly formatted plaintext alongside an HTML alternative?] I noticed that too, so thanks for the warning: I think it is the thunderbird always html extension, which I have now disabled.

Re: [libreoffice-users] google images and librewriter crash

It looks like a bug is already filed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60415 I've just signed up for an account on the bug tracker, so will add more info to that report when I can get in. In the meantime... I can confirm this in LibreOffice Writer 4.0.4.2, copying from Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.23, on Windows Vista. Copying static images from a couple of other websites was no problem, so it seems to be partly to do with the way Google Images search works. Copying from other websites into Writer, I first see a placeholder which is then replaced with the image. The time it takes to show the image increased with image size, so looks like LibreOffice gets a link to the image, then downloads it itself. However, the URL copied from Google isn't a link to an image on a web server (it begins data: rather than http:) - I guess the image data is obtained via JavaScript or JSON or something in the web browser, but that link won't then work for another application. Not good that it crashes LibreOffice Writer though! I'm not sure about Linux, but on Windows a copy operation can put data on the clipboard in several formats, and the paste operation can then use any one of those (usually a default, with paste special giving the user a choice). Copying an image from the web browser appears to place data on the clipboard in HTML and bitmap formats, where the HTML includes a link to the image as well as alt text etc. It looks like Writer uses the HTML by default and attempts to download the image data itself, while Draw and Impress use the image data from the clipboard. Presumably Writer does something useful with the other HTML attributes which Draw and Impress don't, but looks like it needs to handle data: links more gracefully. As you've found, a workaround is to use Paste Special Bitmap (this tells writer to use the bitmap data from the clipboard rather than the HTML) - but that doesn't exactly help when you automatically hit default Paste and Writer hangs!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer printing problem
Hello, LibreOffice 4.1.4 is considered a stable version of LibreOffice. 4.1 has been around for a while, and 4.1.4 is the most recent minor update. LibreOffice 4.2 is considered a fresh version. It was recently released, and the first version of its kind. Believe it or not, there is also LibreOffce 4.3 alpha, a version in development. There is a possibility that the bug has been fixed in those builds. I was unable to confirm the bug on Windows 8, so maybe the issue is operating system-specific. Are you able to confirm the bug in any of these versions? To get LibreOffice 4.2, go to: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86lang=en-USversion=4.2.0 (You do *not* need the help pack if you don't want it. All you need is the main installer.) WARNING: This *will* override your current installation of LibreOffice 4.1.4! To get LibreOffice 4.3 (development version), download the following file by clicking the link: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@47-TDF/current/master~2014-01-30_14.53.08_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.msi http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@47-TDF/current/master%7E2014-01-30_14.53.08_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.msi Because it is a development build, this *will not* override your current installation.

Re: [libreoffice-users] diff of 2 docx files
Hello, For some reason, on my Windows PC, the libreoffice command is not present. So, if you choose to use the command terminal, and libreoffice is not recognized, the following command should work: soffice --convert-to fodt path\to\file.docx path\to\file.docx would be the path to the docx file. The path may use / instead of \ depending on the operating system. The command libreoffice might work for you, though. I guess it depends on the installation, operating system, PATH variable configuration, or some other factor.

However, *E-Mail attachments are not accepted by the LibreOffice mailing list server*. If you use the mailing list via Nabble, I think you can upload a file to the server.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Writer printing problem
Joe Alders wrote After a very disappointing experience using the LibreOffice Forum at the 'ask' part of the LibreOffice site, I will try this forum for help. This is the related AskLO thread: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/28581/document-in-writer-always-jumps-to-first-page-after-printing-command/ I sympathise with your plight Joe, but it is incredibly difficult to troubleshoot printing problems as there is a lot more than just LO involved. It is important when asking questions on AskLO to provide as much detail as possible i.e., for a printing-related issue, the printer make/model, the driver being used, whether the printer is local or on a network (and if network, the protocol), the printer language (PDF or PostScript), and so on. This helps others attempt to reproduce / narrow down the issue. I can't reproduce the issue here under Debian v7.3.0 x86_64 using v4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 when printing to a HP LaserJet 4050TN via CUPS v1.5.3 (IPP connection) using Printer Language Type of either PDF or PostScript (from driver). There are reports in this thread of it working as expected for MacOS+LOv4204, WinXPSP3+LOv4142, and in the AskLO thread for Win7x64+LOv4152, but nothing exactly matching your setup of Win7x64+LOv4142 (and no printer details are offered by anyone). The report in this thread of a similar issue for Ubuntu+LOv4142 does not indicate the source of LO, but it is possibly PPA, so difficult to reconcile with behaviour of website-sourced copies.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing HTML in LO 4.2
NOTE: If you received this e-mail twice, I apologize. It doesn't look like Nabble, the mailing list interface, picked it up. So, I am resending it to the list.

Do all the files have the .html extension, or are some .xhtml, etc? Do you know if there is a certain pattern in the source code of each file that causes LibreOffice to display the source? When I tried loading an HTML file into LibreOffice 4.2, it worked correctly. If the files do not contain any sensitive, personal, or otherwise information that you do not want to publish, you can send the list and I the HTML files you tried. However, *E-Mail attachments are not accepted by the LibreOffice mailing list server*. If you use the mailing list via Nabble, I think you can upload a file to the server. If you use an E-Mail client to use the mailing list, you can use something like Sendspace (http://www.sendspace.com/). I have no idea what the difference is between those that work and those that don't. Opening them from a blank html document makes no difference. In fact the title bar just says LO Writer not Writer/Web. That isn't right! Maybe another thing you can try is a clean install of LibreOffice (with all of the settings reset). If you urgently need a temporary solution, and nothing works, you can download LibreOffice 4.1.4 from: http://mirror.nexcess.net/tdf/libreoffice/stable/4.1.4/ Just select the type you want (I don't know if you prefer the RPM or the Debian package). If I start with a blank html document and use Insert-File it shows up as the source. I'm using the linux version of LO. Are you using Windows or Linux? I am using Windows Vista, and sometimes Windows 8 (mostly Vista). If you are able to send the HTML files (at least one that works and one that doesn't) to the list and I (that doesn't contain any personal data), I might be able to examine the file's source and find the route of the bug. Then, I can file an official bug that explains the issue. I don't know if the issue is operating system-specific or not. Keith I hope this helps!

I have not upgraded moneydance in that time. Having quickly opened about 20 html's the problem is limited to those produced lately by moneydance. I haven't had time to look closely at the html source. I suppose it's possible that LO is now being more strict in its interpretation.

This might prove a useful starting point: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=28765start=0 Why are people still sending others to the OpenOffice.org web site for information about LibreOffice? For this posted need, I remember hearing about deployment of LO on a LO web page. Although LO was a fork of OOo from several years ago, it is grown past those roots now. If we do not have the needed documentation now, we should really make it a priority to set up a web site/page to talk about IT management deployment of LO, including network based. The current AOO/OOo web site should not be the place where people go to get information about LO. From a marketing aspect, this could lead business users to think we are not the package to use, but AOO is. That is wrong way of doing business. SO, just from the marketing aspect to businesses, this needs to be resolved. From the typical user, this could be an issue as well. I stopped using OOo when LO came out. I do not want to have to explain to users that LO's documentation site[s] is not the place to find the needed information to migrate/deploy LO to their systems. Would you tell the UK tech advisors to not consider LO for the open source option to using the mandated ODF file format requirements, but to go with AOO/OOo since we do not have the needed documentation? We would be saying this if we tell them to go to the OOo web site for the deployment information. I see too many of these postings telling users to go to the OOo site[s] for the needed information or extension/template download. Yes, there may be something there that LO currently does not have, but it should not be the first option. LO needs to rely on LO's sites to give the user the help and support they need. I do not use Nabble, but I would think that there must be a forum there about business migration and deployment. IF not, then there should be. Am I alone in this opinion? Googled for a solution. Found an interesting thread. Thought it could be useful to the OP. Posted it. I don't get what all this whining is about. Is there LO-specific information around, or some tutorial that doesn't involve OO? Fine, somebody is goind to come up with it (you didn't, by the way. Just sayin') As an example, V Stuart Foote provided a more general solution to the OP problem in this same thread. -- Marcello Romani -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
