Is there a security setting in Mac that needs to be flipped?
Something to allow the execution of scripts within applications.

Can the students create macros that run, from within LibO?


Alternatively, and not recommended unless:
* You like pushing your admin skills;
* The students are currently using R;
is to configure the _use R within LibreCalc_ option, and see what
happens.(This is a third party pseudo-extension.)

[anne-ology]

   Not really sure what you're attempting to do with Mac,
  but having just switched to a Mac, I've found that when I open a
previous document, it opens in the Mac version.

   I'm keeping the IBM-compatible for off-line use. ;-)

Hi,

I'm letting use hundreds of students LibreLogo extensively on their
computers. No problems with Windows and most of Linux systems. However all
Mac users were not able to use LibreLogo.

The commands in the menu are actually working, so that you can move the
turtle and draw that way; however, as soon as you write a script and try to
run it, the turtle appear but nothing happens. Apparently, nothing is
executed, for instance even a print instruction is not executed.

I confirm this behavior with an old Mac hanging around in my lab: Mac OS X
10.6.8 and LibreOffice 4.3.7.2.
However, the students have a variety of configurations so that it seems a
pretty general problem of the Mac implementation.

I searched these lists and other places, apparently without finding a
solution.

Is there anybody having a hint?

Greetings from Florence
Andreas

Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice?

[jorge Rodríguez]

Good day Tim:

Did you probe usb for boot repair disk (Burn it in a usb flash 
memory and would be boot there with your Bios). In GNU / Linux you can 
use UNetbootin, and in windows there are other similar solutions.


I hope this help,

Well, if you look at the CNN Headline News, they have stated that MS has
a patch for this virus, but wanted to charge some users for it. The
on-air comment seems to say that since MS had the patch, they should
have sent it out to ALL MS Windows users.  Plus, it the patch was
installed, most computers would not have been infected.

Fro me, I use Linux so I do not have the security problems as MS Windows
users.  I do have Win10, but rarely use it.  Most times I just go to the
Win 10 partition to run the update app.

​Hullo Pieter,

The above sounded rather different from my own experience, so I thought I'd
check it out by entering «LibreOffice» in my browser (Firefox Nightly) on
my Linux Mint 18.1 system and performing a search. This lead me to the
English-language interface at https://www.libreoffice.org/, where clicking
«Download now» brought me to a web page which suggested Linux x86_64(rpm)
as my operating system (it always misses that I have a deb derivative), but
allowed me to choose, among other things, Windows x86_64. It then suggested
a Swedish-language user interface and Help for online use -reasonable,
given my location here in Stockholm - but allowed me to choose another
language, such as Dutch, for the download, wherewith I ended up at
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=win-x86_64=5.3.3=nl.
Do you see something different if you follow this procedure ?...

Henri

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Subsection reporting

[Robert Großkopf]

Hi Pieter,

> I am new to Base (but no PC dummy!)

Best way to get a report is:
Create a table "filter", which will only be needed for filter-values.
One row, PrimaryKey could be a boolean-field.
Create a query for all needed fields.
Include the "filter"-table for the conditions in the query.
If query will show, what you will get, create a view of this query.

Report-Builder will better work with views than queries.

Here you could find the Base Handbook 4.0 in English:

And here you could get it for LO 5.3 in German:
