[libreoffice-users] Re: Generate a column of times
Thanks again for the replies, this is what I've tried so far: The start time was 10:25pm and the stop time was 10:55pm, with 2026 samples. I first highlight column 'A', and format the cells as 'Time', using the 01:37:46pm format. The first cell, A1, gets the start time, 10:25:00pm. The second cell gets 10:25:01pm, which is the start time with an increment of 1 second. I then highlight these first two cells, then drag their lower right corner down the column to row 2026. The last cell now reads 10:58:45pm, which does not match the stop time of 10:55pm. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Generate-a-column-of-times-tp4121568p4121956.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
Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I insert a thin space in Libre in Windows?
Hi :) These guides might be more useful in general https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications If you go to Tools - Customise then you can reconfigure one of the keyboard combinations to be pretty much anything you want. I'd suggest seeing what Ctrl space or Alt space or even shiftspace do at the moment and consider changing one of those to be a thin space. If you are serious about doing Desktop Publishing then a word-processor is not quite right for the task. Writer is better than most but it might be worth considering Scribus or something else designed to be a proper DTP. Scribus is in the same eco-system as LibreOffice/OpenOffice and can use one (or several) of the output-files that LibreOffice can save in. I'm not sure what the U stands for nor how to get such coding into a document. Hopefully someone else might help with that later.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Generate a column of times
Well, of course not. The difference between 10:25pm and 10:55pm is exactly 30 minutes, or 1800 seconds. But you have 2026 samples, which, at a second each, comes to 33 minutes and 46 seconds, which is equivilent to a stop time of 10:58:46pm. The extra second is (I think) due to the first sample being zero seconds after the start time, instead of 1, so you're actually only adding 2025 seconds, not 2026. Your samples are spaced more frequently than one second apart, which is why using a fixed spacing of a second to start the series doesn't work. Brian's previous answer about using a formula sounds like the answer, although I haven't looked at it myself. But he knows what he is talking about, and the approach is the correct one. It calculates the actual sample frequency and uses that to calculate the timestamps for each sample. Try that and see if it doesn't give you the answer you are looking for.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I insert a thin space in Libre in Windows?
The U stands for Unicode (the universal character set). The notation U + is a way of making it explicit that the number is a Unicode reference. Unicode 2009 is a thin space, traditionally considered a fifth of the nominal type size in points, defined by Unicode as either or a fifth or a sixth but in any case depending on the size given to this character by the creator of a particular font. There are several ways of entering any character in the Unicode range by its number, though they differ between Linux and Windows.

At 06:33 11/09/2014 -0700, Nobody Noname wrote: Thanks again for the replies, this is what I've tried so far: Why not try one of the two techniques already suggested (both of which work)? The start time was 10:25pm and the stop time was 10:55pm, with 2026 samples. I first highlight column 'A', and format the cells as 'Time', using the 01:37:46pm format. The first cell, A1, gets the start time, 10:25:00pm. The second cell gets 10:25:01pm, which is the start time with an increment of 1 second. That's your mistake. You said in your original message that the samples were taken at *approximately* 1 sample per second (my emphasis), not exactly so. Your 2026 samples span 2025 intervals between 10:25 and 10:35, and if we divide thirty minutes by 2025, we find that the interval is actually eight-ninths of a second, not exactly one second. If you add eight-ninths of a second 2025 times to 10:25 you will get to 10:55 with no problem. I then highlight these first two cells, then drag their lower right corner down the column to row 2026. The last cell now reads 10:58:45pm, which does not match the stop time of 10:55pm. That's because 2025 seconds is not thirty minutes, but indeed thirty-three and three-quarter minutes. You should note that your difficulty here is entirely to do with your appreciation of the problem, and nothing to do with whether Calc can or cannot do what you require. Using Mr Drago's technique, you need to set A2 to 10:25 PM plus eight-ninths of a second. You can do this in various ways. One is to put 10:25 PM and 10:55 PM in two cells, subtract them, and divide by 2025. As a number, this will display as 0.10288... as the interval is that fraction of a day. Use this value in the calculation in A2, using =A1+Xn, where Xn is the result cell. Note that the value in A2 will display as 10:25:01 PM, but it is not exactly one second later - it merely displays that way with your chosen formatting. The value *stored* in the cell is nevertheless accurate. You will need to select the value in A2, copy it, and paste it back using Paste Special... with Formulas unticked in order to convert the formula into a number. Now select A1 and A2 and fill down the column. Row 2026 will read 10:55:00 PM. In fact, rounding errors mean that it misses the mark by less than a hundred-millionth of a second. Is that good enough?! Using my formula technique, put the start and finish times in A1 and A2026. The formula you need in A2 with these new cells is =A1+(A$2026-A$1)/2025 Select just A2 this time (not A1 and A2) and fill this down the column to A2025 (not A2026, or you will get a circular reference error, Err:522). The rounding errors will be no more than with the previous technique. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table presented totally wrong.
Stef Bon wrote: Hi, I got a template.docx of my education institution, and tried to open it using LibreOffice. I found out too late - after I sent it, I got comments of receiver - that writer did show the table totally wrong. The .docx format changes slightly with each version of MS Office. Even newer versions of MS Office sometimes display documents created in an older version differently. For compatibility between MS Office and LibreOffice, the older .doc format is more reliable. Also when working in LibreOffice, you should save your work it in Open Document Format (ODF), even if it was originally imported from an MS Office format. That way you avoid corruption which may occur by repeatedly exporting and importing the document. Only export a copy back to MS Office format if that's needed for sending it to someone else - keep your working copy in ODF. Until now I was convinced LibreOffice is a good alternative for MS Office, but I doubt it very much now. I had to use the (Microsoft Windows) computers on the school with a recent MS Office to get it right. So LibreOffice is useless because it can't fully understand a format defined by a private company? Despite the name, Office Open XML (the .docx etc. formats) as used by MS Office does contain some proprietary elements so is not completely open for others to reliably implement. I've been talking with members of parlement about the use of open source by the government, and was convinced it's a right thing. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Several governments have recently moved over to specifying that ODF should be used for documents. That's the main format used by LibreOffice. If transitioning to LibreOffice, it would be a good idea to also transition to using ODF. I think it's not a very exotic table. It's a table in a table.

I saw some bugs related to fonts not appearing in the select dropdown, but in this case the drop shows the font properly, but when characters are entered they are entered they appear in a Latin font though - not sure if this is something visited on me by an OS upgrade or an LO upgrade -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Table presented totally wrong.
Hi :) Both Google docs and LibreOffice are consistent with each other and any version of either on any platform. Likewise with OpenOffice, Calligra/KOffice, Lotus Symphony and almost all others. Even newer documents prepared by the latest releases of those can usually be read by older versions of any. This is in stark contrast to documents written in MS Office and using their newer 'format' (really several different transitional formats but all given the same name). Documents written in MS Office 2007 often have problems opening in MS Office 2010 or 2013, at best they open in compatibility mode. Hence why so many people have taken to using PDFs to share documents in the last few years, or at least 1 reason for it. It helps to use the native ODF 1.2 (Extended) format in any of the non-MS office programs or office suites. The 1.2 (Extended) is backwards compatible with the older 1.1/1.0. Newer programs can read the older formats so easily it's almost natural. No need for any compatibility mode. The full ODF specification is thoroughly documented as implemented in all the different programs by all the different companies, etc and contains no proprietary blobs so there is nothing to make it difficult for people to create new software that can implement the full specification as used out in the wild. The ODF 1.1 or 1.0 was set as an internationally agreed standard by the ISO committees after extensive field-testing and deliberation by members of the independent OASIS committee. OASIS remains independent by allowing each company, government or other organisation to have a set maximum number of members so that no company, government or organisation is able to dominate the proceedings. Several hundred organisations etc from around the world take part in preparing, writing and field-testing the specifications to make sure the format is easy to implement in as many real-world scenarios and on as many real-world machines as possible. The ODF 1.2 (Extended) as used in many programs and suites is, in effect, field-testing to prepare for the next iteration of the ODF standard. That is likely to take many years during which; 1. Many organisations etc will be using the same 1.2 (Extended) as each other 2. It is easy to switch any of the programs back to 1.2 or even back to 1.1/1.0 The only organisation which seems to have any trouble at all with implementing any ODF specification seems to be Microsoft. By being unable to implement their own or anyone else's formats consistently it seems to force people to constantly buy the same version of MS Office that is used by people they work with, and to buy newer versions at the same time as each other. Currently many companies are buying the 2010, so that is what other people need to get. However newer computers are sold with 2013 so some of them will need to buy 2010 although at the same time it creates a push to buy the 2013 even though organisations have only just bought the 2010. It is interesting that the new Microsoft formats came out just after their older formats finally seemed to stablise such that everyone else was able to consistently implement them. It also came out just after MS lost the court-case about their RTF format, for which they had promised full interoperability but actually seemed to deliver about the same level of that as their newer format. People who insist on using DocX, XlsX and the other OOXML formats are effectively insisting that people only ever use Windows (that's the only OS that suffers from so many viruses and security issues, right?) and buy the same version of MS Office that they used. So, take a stand and insist on being given files in a format that is consistent with ISO formats. Regards from Tom :) On 11 September 2014 20:40, Paul D.

Did you save your LibreOffice Writer document to a Microsoft Word format? If PDF is ok, you could export as pdf and send that. If the person you are sending your document has LibreOffice, it will look exactly the same. I applaud your thoughts about bringing LibreOffice to the Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal.
