[libreoffice-users] Re: How to clone a document, including outline numbering?
Virgil Arrington wrote I may be completely confused, but if you're trying to clone a document that originated in Word, then that makes things a little more complicated. In my experience, Word and LO do outline numbering in different ways and they don't translate well with each other. The document originates from LO and is exported to Word. What I learn from the discussion so far is that there is apparently no simple solution. hm... Why could there not be an option in style loading to simply include all outline styles? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/How-to-clone-a-document-including-outline-numbering-tp4109331p4109451.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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] non-mainstream
Hi :) Last week we had an interesting thread, at least i thought so, about how most of us are probably on the aspergers/autism spectrum. About how that might actually be a benefit despite being possibly mislabelled as a 'dis'ability. Sure, for some people it is too extreme and may be crippling or maybe it's still a benefit for a lucky few who maybe worked hard to make the most of it. Many of us have tiny amounts of it and even that is sometimes just enough to set us outside of mainstream society. At the end of the week i unwisely went to a pub with a friend who started pointing out some of my eccentricities and physically held onto me to prevent me from leaving. Errr she's quite a hot chick so it wasn't all bad and when we go out i try to realise that almost all the glances and stares we get are because of her. Just before disappearing inside myself i looked around to reassure myself that everyone around me was different in their ways but found just a sea of white faces and all dressed in a very similar way to each other = nothing like me nor like almost any friend. I'm guessing there are a lot of people here who feel 'outside' of mainstream society for at least 1 reason or other. Here on the list i feel safe because no-one can judge any one else on such randomness as skin colour. Do other people here feel like they are outside of a mainstream society in a way that might show up in a photo or face-to-face? I think in a photo i might look too mainstream. A static 2 dimensional image often misses a lot of the character of a person. Would it be good to collect a bunch of photos that show us using LibreOffice? Maybe focussing mostly on the screen but enough of a hint of you or a friend that the photo gives an impression of someone interesting. On the other hand maybe it is best that we stick with the images we have of each other in our minds-eye? I like the idea of a montage of different users so that almost anyone looking at the montage might recognise something of themselves in one or more of the people in the montage. If you email photos to me privately i might be able to get a local artist to put it together. I would avoid naming names unless you specifically tell me to include it. The term 'mainstream' is quite flexible and might be very different in some countries or amongst some cultures. If we look at the photos used in our marketing then simply wearing a suit would make you stand out and it might be good to see that sort of thing mixed in too.

Protection features are designed to operate when documents are saved in LibreOffice's native Open Document Format format. If you save the file in some other format than .ods, you may be able to bypass the protection. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Printer Page/Paper Size?
Hi All, I'm not much of an office suite guy, so please forgive me if I'm trying to do something utterly stupid :) Scenario: Just yesterday our Canon copier/printers were swapped out for newer models. (It didn't go as smoothly as was promised.) Now one of my users cannot print to 11x17 paper. As an experiment I created a simple text document with LO Writer, then tried to get it to print to 11x17. No matter what I did, the page size kept going back to 8.5x11. File - Print - Properties Change to 11x17. Without doing anything else: Go back to Properties: *Bang*, back to 8.5x11 That's on a Win7 box. I'm playing with it on my WinXP laptop and it's doing the same thing. Yet, on both machines, if, in the printer properties, I go to Paper Source and mouse over the bottom drawer, the tooltip shows Drawer 4, Paper Size: 11x17, Paper Supply: 100% Both installs are LO 4.1.4.2 The copier/printer things are Canon iR-ADV 4251s So what gives?

Thanks, Jim I take it that you have removed the old printer drivers from your Win7 systems and installed the newest of the drivers for the new Canon printer/copier machines. Sometimes the drivers on the included CD/DVD are not as up to date as the ones you can find on the Canon web site[s]. Personally, I would rename the current user profile so that LO can rebuild it with the newest printers in it. I do not have a big printer/copier, but I do have a printer that does 11x17 and even 13x19 inches. So I can relate a little. I do also have 3 different Canon printers - two currently installed on my network and one as a backup device - so I know that sometimes Canon printers get updates through the Win7 Windows Update service. I do not use Win7 as much as I do with Linux Mint, but I have noticed that in the past few months, both networked Canon printers have has MS Win7 updates. So, please start with the renaming of the user profile folder for LO that is in the roaming folder for Win7 App Data style of folder. The Win7 system is not handy to give you the exact folder name/sequence. I know this might not help, but you may wish to install the newest of the 4.1.x line - 4.1.6.2 to see if there is an issue with your current version. Since that is the latest and, most like the last, of the 4.1.x line, it would have all of the bug fixes for that line so it might work better in some respects than your 4.1.4 version. A question - what are in the other drawers for paper size? Was the 11x17 in the 4th drawer in the older printers or is the new ones different enough that the paper drawers have a size arrangement? That is another reason to start with a fresh user profile to stop any issues there. It would be even worse if both printers were so close in type that the drivers look alike to LO's printing system that it got confused with some profile glitch when the new printers were installed. You should try to find out what is going on when your pages start looking as if you could fit 4 or even 8 pages on a single sheet. That is a glitch that I have seen come up with MS Office, let alone LO, and it is due to a glitch that happens in the printer driver setting that sometimes require the removal of the printer and driver off the system and a reinstall of the printer, to fix the problem. So along with the user profile glitch, it could be a Windows driver one with more than one printer that are closely related - like a 922 and a 924 or such that use the same driver series for several printers. The fact that both the Win7 and XP systems are doing the same thing and maybe other Win7 systems are not lead me to a driver issue/glitch and/or a combination with the user profile glitch. I know that this might not be much help, but those are the things I would look into. -- 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

Unlike Microsoft Office, which treats page size as a matter solely for printer settings, LibreOffice - more sensibly, in my opinion - treats page size as an aspect of page format. If you want to print a 11 x 17 page, you will first have to set the page to that size at Format | Page... | Page | Paper format | Format. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Spell Check Dictionary
Hey All, I've noticed that LibreOffice does not remember the words that I add to my dictionary when I open a new document that contains the same words I just added in the previous document. Every new document does not recognize the spelling of words that I have added when editing earlier documents. It behaves as though it is adding the words to a dictionary that is contained within the individual document instead of adding them to a dictionary that is located in my home and referenced by all documents even though I know this is not the case because the document is in plain text format that I can open with any ordinary text editor such as gedit, on the desk top, or vim in a shell. If I open the same document again, the next day of example, the words that I added to the dictionary previously when editing that same document are not marked as misspelled, but if I open a new document the words are not recognized there. I've spent a couple of hours reading the LibreOffice Word manual and searching with Google to no avail. Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed that will allow the use of a local dictionary? Is this a known bug?
