Hi :)
ooops! i sent again before editing or completing! :(

The link for the QA team is in the announcement.  The link for posting
bug-reports is here
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
but i think there is something special set-up for people taking part in the
competition.

I wish there was a prize (other than kudos) for the winners!  Not that i'd
win it!
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Reproducing doc files.

2014-04-24 Thread john Culleton
In general I use anything in preference to KDE
Office apps, but a recent instruction received
from a publisher in doc format was read more
accurately in Calligra Word than in Libre Office
4.1.

Specifically italic type was reproduced in
oversized sans-serif bold face in Libre but was
reproduced in oversized slanted type in Calligra.
I misunderstood the publisher's desires until I
used Calligra. He wants italics which is what I
normally would have used in the particular
situation in an index.

Also in Libre certain bold face passages were
interpreted as larger sans-serif type
which caused some text to over print other text. 

Neither program scored 100% but Calligra came
closer. So I will give it a closer look. 

Doc format is not my favorite choice of course but
some customers insist on it.  

Copies of the original doc file are available on
request.

Yes, you can. Double-click on the cell to switch to edit mode (or press
F2, for those preferring the keyboard), position cursor where you want
to add text, right-click (or Edit menu) > Paste. This also pastes as
unformatted, so you don't even need faff around changing the font if the
cell is already formatted as you want it.


click on cell where verification number will be appended to description
click on input line
go to Edit->Paste to paste verification number to cell data
press enter
empty cell with verification number only


If I've understood correctly, I think that routine could be:
- Pay credit card on line
- Copy verification number from web site
- Double-click on cell where verification number will be appended to
description (or click in the input line if you prefer, but then you have
to use Edit > Paste since there is no right-click menu)
- Position cursor at the end of the existing content (or wherever you
want it)
- Right click and paste


I agree-it's not a big deal-there are more important issues.

Thanks to all,

John



Excellent.  Learned a new LO feature.  By the way, when I copied the 
text that was in a different font, it converted to the font in the 
edited cell, a win-win.


Thanks,
John

[libreoffice-users] forums, The AOO one

2014-04-24 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Just popped into the Apache OpenOffice forum
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/
and noticed their header claims "User community support forum for Apache
OpenOffice, LibreOffice and all the OpenOffice.org"

I think it's great! :)  There are quite a few places where people can get
help with LibreOffice now.  Oracle tried to kill that sort of co-operation
between OO and LO so it's good to see them seeing us as all part of a wider
community.

Of course there are a few things they might not be aware of over there that
might need to be sent here.  I suspect that many of them know more than
some of us anyway, well some of me at least.

I used to keep hearing that their Base forums were fantastic and so few
people were doing anything with Base it was painful that those few were
scattered and discouraged from communicating or from working together.
This helps deal with that sort of fragmentation without jeopardising the
independence of either project imo.

I don't think it helps to worry about them stealing people from our turf
because there are plenty of problems to go around and LibreOffice has
advantages that AOO doesn't.

Regards from
Tom :)

Tom thanks for the heads up. Will 4.3 be available for download in 
advance of the actual Beta release date/ I have been using the 4.2.4 RC1 
on my openSUSE 13.1 for the last week. So far no issues with CALC (at 
least my spreadsheets). Writer still has problems with a .docx document 
I get each month. Does not show some of the graphics. The version of 
Word is 2010.  I can enter a bug report if necessary and attach the 
Writer page and one from the PDF to show what it should look like.

Let me know where to post the bug.

Thanks

Russ

[libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Magazine 10

2014-04-24 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Every time the Brazilian Team releases their magazine a lot of people say
it should be translated into English and other languages.  It's fantastic
and all put together in Draw.

Sadly there are just not enough translators! :(  However, even though the
magazine is all in Portuguese (Br) it is a proper magazine so it's packed
with photos and images so it's interesting to flick through.

Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Re: [tdf-announce] Get ready for LibreOffice 4.3 bug hunting session

2014-04-24 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
These bug-hunting sessions can be a great fun.

It's only for a short time-period so you can find yourself racing against
other people who are also new to it all.  Even if you know nothing about
how to do it there are experienced people on-hand to help.  If you don't
know coding then that can even be an advantage because you avoid getting
embroiled in 'interesting' details.

Sometimes these competitions have led to prizes, such as netbooks and
things.  Bodhi Linux have such awarded a a few people netboks as top
prizes.  The QA team here did the same around a year ago.  I think this
time there isn't a prize but it's a good time to get in some practice.
Good luck all!
Regards from
Tom :)

You're right, MS sections and LibO sections belong to different concepts
despite their similar names, thanks for reminding that.
