Re: [libreoffice-users] Base, connect to map/grid ?

2015-05-14 Thread Mark Stanton
MySQL comes with mapping capabilities, I believe.
There is, or used to be, a large section in its manual about how that 
works.

I don't know how it works because I've never taken the time to read 
those sections, but it might give you an idea on how to implement 
something.

Regards
Mark

[libreoffice-users] LO 4.4 is supposed to import Pagemaker files? How?

2015-05-14 Thread bunk3m
I was all excited by the recent announcement that LO can open a number 
of older Mac file formats and Pagemaker files.  I am running the Mac 64 
bit version of LO 4.4. (OSX 10.9.5)


So I wanted to finally convert a number of older Pagemaker 6.5 files to 
something useable.


I searched the docs and searched this list to find instructions of 
converting these files.  All I can find is that you should import the 
Pagemaker files.


There is no import command that I can find.  Where is this?

I tried to open the Pagemaker 6.5 files directly but get General Error. 
General Input / Output error.


So how are you supposed to open Pagemaker files?

Please not that I'm on digest.  If you wouldn't mind cc'ing me directly 
when / if you reply to the list.


Thanks in advance,
B.

Open such file with LibreOffice exactly like you would open any other
file with any other program.

Unless I've misunderstood what bunk3m wrote, that resulted in a General
I/O error.

Ooops. Then LibreOffice can not open that file because the file is not a
pagemaker file, a corrupted pagemaker file or an unsupported pagemaker file.

Try http://www.zamzar.com or find some machine with pagemaker up and
running and let it export your files to whatever suitable.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't change font color in LO 4.[4].3 (Linux)

The procedure is:

(4) Writer still not change it.


Do you perhaps inadvertently have a tick in the option at Tools | 
Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | Options for high-contrast 
appearance | Use automatic font colour for screen display? If so, the 
text will remain in a high-contrast colour - black if the background 
is light - in the normal editing display, but will nevertheless be 
marked as the chosen colour and will still print or export as PDF correctly.


If you also have Use system colours for page previews ticked, Page 
Preview will also be affected; otherwise Page Preview will show the 
correct colour.


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] how to make formulas permanently case sensitive?

I'm surprised by that. If you mean the options at Tools | 
Options... | LibreOffice Calc | Calculate | Case sensitive, doesn't 
this apply per user and thus stick not only between documents but 
between LibreOffice sessions?


No, this option is not remembered.


I've done some research, and the setting is stored in 
registrymodifications.xcu in the profile. So yes: it *will* be saved 
per user, not per document or per system, and will stick across 
LibreOffice sessions. (But perhaps not, as I suggested, if you have a 
corrupt profile.)


How can I save this option permanently so I don't need to set it 
over and over again?


If it doesn't stick - and if this option is, as I imagine, saved in 
the user profile - you might want to wonder if your user profile 
has become corrupt. If you close LibreOffice and delete or rename 
the profile, LibreOffice will create a new, clean one next time you 
start it. If you then set the option again, does it now stick?


I have seen this on different computers, with both the Linux and the 
[Windows] version of LO.


If you use different systems, the setting would need to be made in 
your profile separately on each, of course.

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

I suspect those who prefer the other option would ask the opposite question!


Things are usually case sensitive, unless you specify otherwise. It 
is what I expect.


I'm sorry you missed my point. I understood what you wanted. Anyone 
reading your enquiry will have understood what you wanted. My point 
was that others might prefer the existing arrangement. I think others 
should be given consideration.

I don't like dogs ...


Did you imagine I was writing for your benefit alone? There are 
plenty of dog-lovers on the list.



... and how do I specify case sensitiveness per formula?


If the option is, as I suspect, per user, your spreadsheet will go 
wrong if you need to change the option for another document, if a 
different user handles it on the same computer, or if you exchange 
it with someone using a different computer.


I haven't tried with different users.


Actually, it appears you have. You say you have experience of this 
matter on different operating systems. Even though you are the same 
person on each, you will be separate users and have separate profiles 
on the different systems. It is precisely because you may want to 
move documents in this way that it is far better to control what 
happens in your formulae and not to rely on option settings.


So you are quite right to identify that building the requirement 
into your formulae and not relying on options is the reliable way 
to go. And it's quite easy: the EXACT() function comes to your aid. 
Instead of using

=IF(A1=X;...)
use
=IF(EXACT(A1;X);...)
This will match X but not x irrespective of the option setting.


Thank you, maybe that works; I'll try it tomorrow.


Oh, it does work for others. I'm not sure how your use if it 
downgrades this to maybe.

Anybody has the same problem under Linux?
Thanks

No problem with 4.4.2.2 on Fedora, not back leveling to test.

Are you using the standard version or a distribution specific version?

I should modify the title, because this problem occurs in version 4.4.3,

And I downloaded 4.4.3 from http://www.libreoffice.org/

Have you tested in 4.4.3 ?
