I don't see a Font panel. I can pull down the Tools menu and then under
Language is For all text, which has choices:

English Canada
English USA
None (Do not check spelling)
Reset to default Language
More...

none checked and none responding to my clicks

Hi,

When you go on the Font panel and look at the available languages, is
there a mark indicating the dictionary has been installed for the
language you are using (something like a green checkmark with ABC next
to it)?

[libreoffice-users] no spell checking taking place in Version: 5.1.4.2

2017-01-28 Thread Dave Stevens 
Hi,

I'm using Libre Office, mostly Writer, version: 5.1.4.2 with Linux
Mint. I would like to have check as I go spell checking. In the past I
haven't done anything special to make this happen, it seems to have
been the default behaviour.

I'm not sure what information would help diagnose this. I can use
shift-F7 in an attempt to turn on auto checking but no joy. Ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can I reload a form based on a parameter query?

2017-01-28 Thread Drew Jensen 
Howdy Peter,

I'm only a user of the software. Anyone can request a change and it is
pretty easy to do.
Likely getting one of the developers to want to code it will be a bit more
of a trick, but there is a process and if no one ever enters a request it
certainly won't happen.

Just in case:
- the project uses a ticket system called Bugzilla to track defect reports
and enhancement requests found at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org
- you don't need to create an account in that system if all you want to do
is view what is in the works, but you will need to create one to open a new
request or report a bug.
- there is an explanation of the bug entry process here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
--  for an enhancement the only difference is enter a severity level of
'enhancement'

Anyway, I haven't said boo here in a long while but recently have been
looking at the issue tracker and I noticed that there is some talk of
adding a 'search and replace' feature for Base which is what got me
thinking it might be a good moment. On the other hand there is a big push
to finish up the support for a different db engine so an RFE might get lost
in the noise of that..

But hey it sounds like a good idea and if you want to start the process
great, if not, I just might..

Best wishes,

Could be this is a special behavior of Base-forms. There are two forms 
beneath each other. One form for "filter" and one for "display". I 
change values in "filter". I move to a button in "display". The 
content of "filter" will be saved when I push the button in "display" 
before the action of the button will happen. So there is needed only 
one button, which should refresh the form "display". The query for 
this form will be filtered by the entries in the table "filter". 
But how is the listbox connected to the table? The only connection I can see is 
by the name. I think it would be strange to say that a control with a name it 
automatically linked with at table of the same name. Also, the "ID" field in 
the "filter" table is set to YES, while its default is NO, which implies that 
something is changing it.




> I also can't understand why there are two columns in the 
> "listbox_n_simple", but that's of less importance. 

Most listboxes will show some text-content, but are linked to a table 
by an Integer-primarykey. So queries for listboxes look like 
SELECT "name", "ID" form "table_names" 
"name" will be shown. "ID" will be saved in the column of the form.
The query is SELECT "Sys.", "Sys." FROM "searchtable" GROUP BY "Sys." ORDER BY 
"Sys." ASC
So both columns will have the same contents.

 

You must have a look in the properties > data of the listbox. The 
"bounded field" will be '1' by default - and '1' is (a little be 
confusing, because it begins with '0') the second field. 
Some people start with 0, others with 1. It gets confusing when they're both 
working on the same project.


If the same content should be shown as it will be saved you could set 
this to '0' - so there must be only asked for one field. 

You could also set this to '-1'. This will save the numer of the row. 
I have never used this, but it works ... 
I've not heard of that. Thanks. Could be useful.

Robert

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can I reload a form based on a parameter query?

2017-01-28 Thread ptoye 
Hi Drew,

I'm very happy to hear that Base is being worked on. It's always struck me as 
the Cinderella app in the suite.

Would you like me to issue a RFE or will you do it yourself?

IMHO, even more important than this would be Update and Delete queries. It's 
been decades since I used MS Office, but I remember them as being available in 
about 2000. And very useful as one doesn't have to learn SQL.

Best regards,

Peter

Just a thought and it couldn't hurt. I think your use case is common enough 
that merits a discussion at least.
