[libreoffice-users] What happened to the release notes for 4.2.1?
All, The LibreOffice website looks different and some information is missing that was there last week. In particular I'm looking for the 4.2.1 release notes which used to be here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ I just noticed that the 4.1.5 release notes are gone too! What's going on here? -Bill On 3/7/2014 7:42 PM, Stephan Petersen wrote: Hi guys, does anyone know how to set the default number of slides per page when printing handouts? LO unfortunately contains a bug (which goes way back and remains unfixed) that causes it to forget what you were printing (notes, handouts, ...) between print jobs.

Now, if you want to print handouts, you not only have to select handouts every time, but now you also have to pick the number of slides per page again, unless you want the default, which seems to be 6 (for whatever reason). Does anyone know a workaround for this nuisance?

What's going on here? As you rightly noticed, the website looks different. We have a new website. What I'm a bit surprized is that when it comes to the release notes I had added them myself to the staging site. I'll find them back.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Careful with Impress in 4.2.1.1: Presentation files may crash 4.1.x
Hi :) Which format are you saving files in? Regards from Tom :) On 8 March 2014 00:37, Stephan Petersen stephan.peter...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys, it's an unfortunate tradition with Impress that every new version contain major screw-ups and showstoppers. I just had a case where a presentation that was started with 4.1 (all Win 7 64bit), then edited on a another computer with 4.2.1.1, crashes 4.1 on the original computer when you try to load it, and only updating LO on the original computer to 4.2.1.1 seems to help. Unfortunately I can't provide a sample file at this point, but be careful when you upgrade to 4.2.1.1 if you rely on Impress files to work on previous versions too.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Default Date Format in Libreoffice Calc
Is the date format for LibreOffice headers and footers locked into the originator's locale? What if you wanted to write a letter or spreadsheet to someone in another country and wanted to make the date format in the headers and footers match what they use? Is it possible to change the date format used in the headers and footers without having to reset the originator's system locale? -- 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

[libreoffice-users] Question about LibreOffice Calc 4.2.1 and MS Excel workbook
Hi! A friend of mine has LibreOffice 4.2.1 installed alongside MS Office 2010 Starter Edition on his Windows 7 system. He received an Excel spreadsheet via email which he can open just fine in both Excel and Calc. The problem is when he opens the file in Calc, it opens with the page zoom set to 60%. When he opens the file in Excel, it opens with page zoom set to 100%. Because of this, he didn't think he could edit the file in Calc since he couldn't read the info. He wasn't aware of the page zoom capability of either application. :) Any ideas as to why Calc would open the spreadsheet with a page zoom of 60%? Thanks in advance! Peace...

[libreoffice-users] LO Base Error: DB Created By Newer Version
Hey Y'all, I'm following directions in GS40-GettingStartedLO Chapter 8. I created a new database, and then created the Fuel table per the instructions. I saved the table and the database, then closed the database. When I open the database, and click on the Tables icon I get this error: The connection to the data source NAME OF DB could not be established. The connection could not be established. The database was created by a newer version of LibreOffice. When I click the [More] button on the bottom of the error box I get two errors listed. The first says, The connection to the data source NAME OF DB could not be established. The second says: SQL STATUS: HY000 The connection could not be established. The database was created by a newer version of LibreOffice. No it wasn't! It was created just a minute ago on the same machine, buy the same user, with the same version of LO. I tried erasing and then reinstalling LO and building a whole new database. Same result.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Default Date Format in Libreoffice Calc
Changing the text attribute language for the date field in a header or footer does NOT change the date format.
