Re: [libreoffice-users] Easy rotate in draw.

[Cley Faye]

An alternative solution you might find useful is simply clicking twice on
an object. The "resize" handles will turn into "rotate" handles. From that
point you can rotate an object by clicking one of the corner handles, and
holding Shift will lock the rotation to 15° increments. This will be
relative to the object initial orientation.

So, if you have something at 5.4° and use this method, you can rotate it to
20.4°, 35.4°, 50.4°, etc.

[V Stuart Foote]

Two methods:

(1)
Select image or draw object
Menu Modify -> Rotate
Down cursor to rotate in 45deg increments

 (2)
Select image or draw object
Sidebar -> Properties deck
Tab to the "Position and Size" content panel
directly enter the rotation, or again down/up cursor to rotate in 45deg
increments

[libreoffice-users] Easy rotate in draw.

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
Is there an easy way to rotate an object in draw 90 degrees or 180 degrees.

I select the object and right click Position and Size. The angle is 
usually some obscure number (156.24) and I have to do some maths to 
calculate the new angle.
I can't type in 156.24-24 (some software evaluates simple formulae in 
input fields).


Cheers, steve

Good point... so you break an Addon. The fact that you can move a
profile from one platform to another and have everything mostly just
work is pretty cool, and something most programs can't even come close
to doing...

And if you're using Outlook the Windows version is completely
incompatible with the Mac version...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Encrypted Calc file got corrupted

[libreoffice-ml . mbourne]

Adam Bujdoso wrote:

Dear Group,

I have a problem for which I am hoping to get some help from you.

I am trying to open an encrypted Calc ods file with some quite important
data in it, however, when I type in the password after being prompted to
do so, I get an error message "The file is corrupt and therefore cannot be
opened. LibreOffice can try to repair the file."

When I press 'Yes' to repair the file, nothing really happens, the file
still doesn't open, and next time I try to open the file, I get the same
error message.

Could you please help me fix this somehow? As mentioned this file contains
some important data.


It may seem like a silly question, but are you absolutely certain you're 
entering the correct password? I'm not sure whether LibreOffice can tell 
the difference between a corrupted file and one which has been decrypted 
with the wrong password.


If you're typing the password, make sure you haven't got caps lock on 
(and if using a laptop keyboard, make sure num lock isn't on either), 
and that you're definitely typing it correctly. Also check that the 
keyboard is configured correctly for any punctuation characters, e.g. 
Shift+2 is a double-quote (") on a UK keyboard but an at-sign (@) on an 
American keyboard; if the keyboard isn't configured correctly, you could 
think you're typing a double-quote, but the software might get an at-sign.


If you're copying the password (e.g. from an email) make sure you're not 
accidentally copying extra spaces at the beginning or end. Some 
applications automatically include spaces around a word. Also check 
whether or not any punctuation around the password is part of the 
password - e.g. if you have an email saying "The password is 
Password1.", check whether or not the full-stop is part of the password. 
I had that once trying to log into a web site with an initial default 
password - I thought the full-stop was the end of the sentence telling 
me what the password was, but it turned out it was part of the password!


Mark.

Re: [libreoffice-users] I'm Having Trouble with Contents Lists

Terry Coles wrote:

Hi,

As the subject line says, I'm struggling to get my Contents Lists right.  I've
consulted various websites, the Online Help and acquaintances who also use
LibreOffice, but have yet to find a solution to two specific problems.  I am
using Version: 5.0.5.2 on Kubuntu 15.10.

Here is what works.  If I create my document using the relevant Heading Styles
for Section headings then I get a fairly reasonable Table of Contents when I
insert one.

Here is what doesn't work:

1.  There is no space or tab between the Section Number and the Title.


From Insert > Indexes and Table > Indexes and Tables, set up the 
"Index/Table" tab as desired.


On the "Entries" tab, for each level you're using:
- Select the level in the left-hand list
- Click in the white box betwee "E#" ("Chapter Number") and "E" 
("Entry") under "Structure and Formatting"

- Click "Tab Stop"
- Set an appropriate position for the tab stop


2.  If I create headings with the Illustration Style and insert a Table of
Illustrations, I get no entries.


Insert the illustration, then select it and use Insert > Caption. Make 
sure the category is set to Illustration. That inserts a reference which 
is recognised by the Table of Illustrations.



3.  I get a similar problem with a Table of Tables.


Similarly, create the table, position the cursor somewhere within it and 
use Insert > Caption; the category should be Table.



Any clues as to where I might find the answer to these problems please?


Probably in the Writer Guide at 
, but I haven't 
looked to check...

That is simple - you just copy the %appdata%\Thunderbird (on Windows)

Then you're using the wrong protocol.  If you are using POP, you will
not have syncing between systems.  If you use IMAP, you will.  With
IMAP, the messages, including sent email, are retained on the server,
where any device or app can access them.  I have two computers, with my
choice of Linux, Windows 7 or Windows 10, a tablet and smart phone.  All
of them have access to all my email.

[Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

I have not been following this discussion, BUT from a guy who is typing 
this comment using Thunderbird, having been using it for years. . .


The only thing about Thunderbird, for me right now, was the "chore" it 
was to to switch systems when the one it was on, since 2010, is now down 
for repairs.  It was not geared for syncing your email between two or 
more systems - i.e. desktop, laptop, and maybe tablet - according to 
everything I have read.


I really like Thunderbird, other than that, and have been using it since 
I was still using my original WinXP system when MS's personal email 
package "failed".  Now I have been using it on a Ubuntu system - desktop 
then laptop.


I do not really think we should to bundle Thunderbird with LibreOffice, 
but we may be able to promote Thunderbird as a "partner software" 
especially on Windows systems. I know that Windows want us to use their 
packages.  If we promoted Thunderbird on Windows systems, since Linux 
systems, mostly[?], installs Thunderbird as the default email client.


MS Office became really bloated early, with packages that was what they 
thought users need other than what LibreOffice currently installs.  LO 
has done a really good job with what is included.  I really do not want 
to include other opensource packages, other than maybe extension 
resources.  Do we want to commit to adding an email package to what LO 
developers need to work on, or a package like Inkscape?  Others have 
produced packages like those, and more, that we should not add in LO's 
installation bundle.  MS wanted to control every package that a user, 
personal or business, that MS determined they must have.  So far 
LibreOffice has not gone that way.  For me, I rarely need to use Draw, 
Impress, Math, or Base.  If we add an email package to LO's 
installation, what would be next that others might want to be included 
with LO?  What other package others want our developers to add to their 
limited development time?  We do not have the resources of a paid 
software company.  We should stick with LibreOffice's needs.


On the "promotion" of other opensource package, LO could do that. We 
could have a web page with other packages that "may" be useful to the 
users.  Those could be packages like Thunderbird and other packages that 
may complement LO that would help users in personal and professional 
work.  That would allow a user[s] to choose what additional packages to 
download and use, instead include them within a single download file.  
We currently have language options for interface and help installs, and 
not require users to download ones that they do not want to use, or at 
least for non-Windows installs.


Let LibreOffice be its current configuration and not add packages.  
Should we support other opensource package. Yes, but in a way[s] that 
does not require LO people to develop it.

[libreoffice-users] paste special

[Thomas Blasejewicz]

Good evening
I just noticed something that I believe did not happen before.
Windows 10 high-spec desktop machine, LO 4.4.3.2
The same funktion works on a Windows 7 Dell Vostro 3500 notebook, some LO.

When I select text portions on any website and then try to copy that
text into a Writer document
as "paste special" (Ctrl+Shift+V) or my personal shortcut* for "past
text only",
NOTHING happens.
(* I used to use Ctrl+Alt+0)
When I hit Ctrl+V I get the text PLUS formatting etc., Something I DO
NOT want.

Copying the text portion into a text editor works just fine = copy
without formatting.

Do I miss something here.
Or did I "mess" something?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Thomas

Re: [libreoffice-users] Encrypted Calc file got corrupted

[Adam Bujdoso]

Tim,

Many thanks for your reply.

I don't know unfortunately, I would assume the file wasn't corrupted before 
encryption, but I don't know for fact, and I don't know if there was ever a 
version of the encrypted file that was free from corruption.

The originator of the file will not have access to the original file for a few 
weeks at least, unfortunately.

Many thanks for your help!

Best,
Adam

 Dear Group,
 
 I have a problem for which I am hoping to get some help from you.
 
 I am trying to open an encrypted Calc ods file with some quite important
 data in it, however, when I type in the password after being prompted to
 do so, I get an error message "The file is corrupt and therefore cannot be
 opened. LibreOffice can try to repair the file."
 
 When I press 'Yes' to repair the file, nothing really happens, the file
 still doesn't open, and next time I try to open the file, I get the same
 error message.
 
 Could you please help me fix this somehow? As mentioned this file contains
 some important data.
 
 Thanks a lot indeed in advance, really appreciated!
 
 Best,
 Adam

[libreoffice-users] Sidebar Survey

[Dave Barton]

For those who do not subscribe to the design mailing list, or follow the
project's design blog, a new survey has been produced to ascertain what
users want/expect from the sidebar in future developments.

The blog post explanation, together with a link to the survey, can be
found here:
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/02/26/what-do-you-expect-from-the-sidebar-in-libreoffice/
In case the above link structure is broken by the list server, I have
created a shortened link: http://bit.ly/1oH2Lql

The survey is open now and will run until 18th. March.

As the blog post indicates, it will be of great assistance to those who
directly contribute to the software's design to get answers to this
survey from as many users as possible. So please spread the word.

Dave

[libreoffice-users] I'm Having Trouble with Contents Lists

[Terry Coles]

Hi,

As the subject line says, I'm struggling to get my Contents Lists right.  I've 
consulted various websites, the Online Help and acquaintances who also use 
LibreOffice, but have yet to find a solution to two specific problems.  I am 
using Version: 5.0.5.2 on Kubuntu 15.10.

Here is what works.  If I create my document using the relevant Heading Styles 
for Section headings then I get a fairly reasonable Table of Contents when I 
insert one.

Here is what doesn't work:

1.  There is no space or tab between the Section Number and the Title.

2.  If I create headings with the Illustration Style and insert a Table of 
Illustrations, I get no entries.

3.  I get a similar problem with a Table of Tables.

Any clues as to where I might find the answer to these problems please?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Encrypted Calc file got corrupted

[Tim Lloyd]

Adam, do you know whether the file was ever free from corruption before 
upload to the cloud? Is it possible for the originator to upload again?

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for your reply!

If I click 'No' to 'Try to repair the file', I get another error message,
'The file could not be repaired and therefore cannot be opened.', and when
I click OK, I get another error message 'General Error'. If I then try to
open the file again, I've still got the same issue as before.

I am on Windows so I can try defragging, but unfortunately this file was
not created by me, it was shared with me through the cloud, thus, I never
really had the original unencrypted file. So I assume defragging should be
run on the computer where the original file was created.

I don't have another copy of this file unfortunately, but I would be happy
to send you a link where you could also download it from in case you have
any file recovery tools. Please let me know if this is feasible.

Many thanks indeed for your help!

Best,

If you are on Windows then defragging might help

Do you have another copy of the file anywhere?  Have you emailed it to
yourself or anyone?
