[libreoffice-users] Draw problem
Greetings, I’m having a problem when trying to use Draw, the other Libre Office programs run great, and it’s been months since I had an error of any kind. My system is a ThinkCenter with a second generation I5 processor, tons of ram, an ssd and I have an encrypted drive. I do not have any problems when using the spreadsheet or Writer. This has been happening for awhile, and I assumed someone had registered a bug. Today, I see that there is no bug listed. If I open a new Draw document, make a single entry and then try to save it (even if the document is empty), the vast majority of my icons immediately change to ‘grayed out’ and I get an error message stating: Error saving the document Untitled1 General Error. General input/output error.” From that point, there is nothing I can do that will allow me to continue editing the document...because most of the icons are grayed out. When the computer is restarted, and I open Draw again, I get the dialogue screen saying that I need to recover my files. However the recovery fails and I have to click on the ‘discard the files’ button. I created a video showing the problem, but a 25 second video (.avi) was 3.6GB, not sure why it was that large. I used Kazam. I removed libreoffice-draw (with the purge command) and reinstalled it (both from the command line). It still has the same problem.

[libreoffice-users] Invitation to participate in an usability test for LibreOffice Writer
Dear Users My name is Roberto Pizarro Mendoza. I am currently researching for my Information Technology graduation project titled “Integration of Adapted Usability Techniques in LibreOffice Writer Open Source Software Project” at the Autonomous University of Madrid, with the knowing of some experts developers and designers from the LibreOffice community, like Samuel Mehrbrodt, Michael Stahl or Heiko Tietze. As users of LibreOffice Writter, you will probably have noticed that some features are not easy, fast and accessible to use. This research aims to provide empirical evidence to resolve some usability issues with which the LibreOffice Writer community is unfamiliar. To be able to do this, we need your help. We would like you to respond to a survey in order to identify the characteristics of the possible LibreOffice Writer user profiles. If you would like to collaborate, please send me your e-mail address. At the end of the survey, the responses will be analysed. The results of this analysis will be shared with the LibreOffice developer community to improve the LibreOffice Writer user experience. The survey is anonymous and will take no longer than 12 minutes to complete. We would very much appreciate it if you would take the time to complete the survey. Thank you very much in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Letter page format size prints portrait pages as landscape on OS X
Hi Al, the printing dialog has the option "Use only paper size from printer preferences" on the tab "Options". Check that. Then go back to tab "General". There click on button "Properties". That opens the settings dialog of your printer. Now set the paper size and orientation there. Is the preview correct? If the preview is correct and it still prints wrong, then it is an error. Kind regards Regina amaloney schrieb: I have reported this as a recurrent bug - Bug 86838 When attempting to print a Writer portrait document, it prints rotated 90 degrees (= landscape).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Letter page format size prints portrait pages as landscape on OS X
Yes I know how the A series of page sizes may be better than what we use in the USA. I wish I did not need as many sized, colors, and stiles. WHAT is the "standard" sizes of inkjet photo paper? USA uses: 4 x 6 inches - have matte and glossy 8 x 10 inches- too expensive per sheet 8.5 x 11 inches - have glossy 11 x17 inches - more expensive than the next size larger 13 x 19 inches - have glossy I am grateful that I can format these page sizes within Writer. Between LO and GIMP [sometimes Inkscape], I have what I need to take advantage of their options to make my photos the best I can for photo and document printing. I bought the wide format printer to print 11 by 17 inch newsletters. I use to take letter size pages to a printing service for them to make them for me. Usually it took 3 or 4 Tabloid Sheets [12 or 16 letter size faces] to have everything needed for the content I/They needed. One of the issues I have to deal with is the fact people wants very specific page color[s] for their signs and/or fliers. I sometime ended up buying their specific paper colors. Right now, I have neon yellow, 2 different goldenrod colors, and Pumpkin. The same mix of colors with pink to reds, etc.. I have a variety of pastel colors for Tabloid [11x17 inches] along with the "standard white and white card stock.

All is standardized to the A sizes, with the added advantage that if A5 is needed, and you don't have it on stock, you just cut A4 in half.. From our perspective the A standards reduce the need to stock all those sizes (letter/legal etc.). Of course the prices are here just contrary to your experience. Rob.

I once had to make and print A4 size documents. I am glad that Canada also uses letter size sheets. It saves me from having to stock A4 again. The Office and/or paper supply stores charge a high premium to purchase A4 paper. I buy a ream of Letter size for under $4 at my grocery store, but the online site I buy 90% of my paper has A4 paper for $11 plus shipping. As for a link to LibreOffice, Writer is the default package I use to create posters from letter size to 11x17 size. I really save the 13x19 paper for my own family's needs. If I cannot use LibreOffice, then I have to go to Inkscape. But LibreOffice does 95%, or more, of my poster and sign needs. Thanks to my finding LibreOffice all those years ago when I was looking for a replacement for not-upgrading OpenOffice.org. . . . . . . . . In my apartment home office "paper wall" - 55" by 54" in size - has shelf upon shelf of paper from 4x6 inches to 13x19 inch paper in white, color, card stock, and various types of photo paper. Right now A4 paper is not needed anymore. All my old, faded, white paper goes to my grand nephew and grand niece as coloring sheets. Can you believe that 13x19 photo paper costs a lot less that 11x17 photo paper - if you can find it. I print so much paper I have to buy from a ream to several per month when I do a heavy print cycle. I have to buy an inkjet printer every 6 to 10 months - alone with the 3 different numbered ink-tank cartridges - 2 for Canon photo printers and 1 for the HP wide format printer. I rarely use a laser toner cartridge a year. People in the same apartment tower[s] I live in sees my different printers and paper wall and sees no reason to have all this "stuff". Then they ask me to print something for them is a paper color that most people never have printed on before. They expect me to buy a half-ream the new color for 10-20 sheets. I do my best to steer them to the closest color I have in stock. That is one reason I stock so many paper types and colors. They just do not get why until they need printing from me. -- 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 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreo
