Fwd: [libreoffice-users] Should I upgrade to LibreOffice 4.4.2.2?
*Dear Tom,* *Thank you very much for your ever-ready and useful helps.* *Sorry, I have been away so long.* *But I am here again. I have installed LibreOffice 4.4.2.2.* *Sincerely,* *Taang Zomi* -- Forwarded message -- From: Tom Davies Date: Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Should I upgrade to LibreOffice 4.4.2.2? To: Taang Zomi Cc: "LibreOffice, users" , Thudik Zomi < thudikz...@gmail.com> Hi :) Kinda ignore the 4th digit. It's the 3rd one that is much more important. The 3rd digit is a lot like the "Service Pack" numbers used by Microsoft. Just divide our 3rd digit by 2 and round down. So, when you say 4.4.2, that is roughly like having Sp1 on the 4.4.x branch. It is good but a lot of people would wait for the x.x.4. The 4.4.1 is in the same branch but doesn't have as many bug-fixes as the 4.4.2 Both have all the same functionality but the x.x.2 has solved more problems and quirkiness so it is likely to be more easier to use. The 3.3.6 has a very high Sp number. Sp3. So it's had all the bug-fixes and "smoothing out" that it's branch is going to get. However the first two digits show that it's quite an old branch now. A bit like having Windows 98 with Service Pack 3. It's very solid and reliable but it lacks a LOT of functionality (and compatibility with Microsoft formats) so it is probably a good idea to upgrade. In your position i would guess that 4.3.6 would be an ideal version for you. 4.3.5 would be ok. 4.3.4 would probably be tolerable. I try to give my clients and colleagues versions with a high Sp number, almost definitely over x.x.3 - but for myself i try to use the newer branch so i can try to spot any problems or even positive new things that my friends and colleagues might have trouble adjusting to. I hope that clarifies things a little bit! Does any of that help you understand more about the version numbers or does it still seem a bit random?

Quoting "Daniel A. Rodriguez" : Thank you everyone for suggestions. I apologize for the delay in testing and replying. I tried www.zamzar.com but Pagemaker 6.5 files can't be converted using this service. I am pretty sure this was close to the last version available on the Mac platform. Where do I find the documentation of which versions of Pagemaker should work with LO? I don't remember reading which versions were designed to work in the docs but it quite likely that I didn't find the right URL. "During 2014, members of the project released a new framework library, called librevenge, which contains all the document interfaces and helper types, in order to simplify the dependency chain. In addition, they started a new library for importing Adobe PageMaker documents, libpagemaker, written as part of Google Summer of Code 2014 by Anurag Kanungo." from: http://blog.documentfoundation.org/category/libreoffice-2/ attributed to italovignoli Dave The guys from Document Libertaion Project should have the answer. http://www.documentliberation.org/contact/ d -- "As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance." -- John Dewey -- 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

Rephrasing, sans puns. Twitter is another medium that people use, to request solutions for problems they encounter. People are currently using Twitter as their primary support medium for LibreOffice. A few people are responding on Twitter, to those support requests. What Charles would like, is for more volunteers to staff the official LibreOffice Twitter Account. Tech Support via Twitter left the novelty stage several years ago. Arguably, obtaining Tech Support via Twitter is more embedded in the mind of users, than any other support medium out there. To quote one book I recently read: "If you don't have a Twitter Support account, you don't offer support to your customers." Whilst that perhaps overstates the case, people will make up hashtags, at at-accounts, because their expectation is that both the at-account and hashtag exist, are relevant, and monitored by the appropriate parties. jonathon -- 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
