To clarify: I need the string comparisons of IF() to be case sensitive: 'if(a1 = x; ...) is, of course, different from 'if(a1 = X; ...)'. Why would anyone make them not case sensitive unless explicitly specified, and how do I specify case sensitiveness per formula? All spreadsheets had been case insensitive ever since.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unzipped opendoc files
The functionality doesn't seem to be present in LibreOffice itself (at the very least, it's not in obvious places). But if you really want to use an SVC on the content, you could probably set things using fuse-zip or something similar. It might not work very well however, as LibreOffice enjoy having files in a certain order inside their zip (especially the mimetype at the beginning). All things considered, you might as well go with using the flat XML format, which is slightly more SVC-friendly. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2015-05-13 14:04 GMT+02:00 mkrbins mka...@naturalsciences.be: Oh, I'm not sure I made myself clear.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unzipped opendoc files
I believe the idea is to have a file structure like this: /home/foldername/Configurations2 /home/foldername/content.xml /home/foldername/layout-cache /home/foldername/manifest.rdf /home/foldername/META-INF /home/foldername/meta.xml /home/foldername/mimetype /home/foldername/Pictures /home/foldername/settings.xml /home/foldername/styles.xml /home/foldername/Thumbnails And to directly open it with libreoffice, using /home/foldername, without zipping/unzipping the odt file. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2015-05-13 14:23 GMT+02:00 James Knott james.kn...@rogers.com: On 05/13/2015 08:04 AM, mkrbins wrote: Oh, I'm not sure I made myself clear.

[libreoffice-users] Base, connect to map/grid ?
Base, can I link a database to a map/grid/spreadsheet grid – not really sure how to ak this or what is possible, doable or worth attempting so bear with me. An explanation of what I want to do. I like gardening and keep on buying plants and sticking them in around the garden, most have difficult names and I have a crap memory. At some point I'll be wandering around the garden see a plant and have no idea what it is. I'd like to create a map of my garden and record where a plant is and its name (common and Latin) etc in a database. Possibly such an application already exists (free) if it does I haven’t found it. So is it possible to connect a database to a map/grid/whatever to do what I want Any thoughts help appreciated - IGraham W764 LibreOffice 4.4.1.2 -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Base-connect-to-map-grid-tp4148544.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] Impress - PowerPoint equivalent for these settings
I have a Raspberry Pi driving a kiosk where users simply dump a PowerPoint to a shared folder whenever they want to update what is shown. Unfortunately, users creating the shows are still on Microsoft Office. Things generally work out fine except that I can't control the following setting in the Impress Slide Show Settings: Type: Default/Window/Auto (with a delay setting). At the PowerPoint side, shows are saved to loop continuously, and Browse at a kiosk. When saved as ppt files, the show opens in Impress with Type=Auto at 10 seconds. When saved as pptx files, the show opens in Impress with Type=Default. This is an unattended computer so I cannot go in and set up the Impress show manually each time. Is there a way to set the show Type to Auto=0 globally? -- 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
