Hi Zed, > > Warning. Wrong data type:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException. This only says: You will input, for example, a text in a field for dates. Are there field-descriptions in the first row you wanted to import? Then you have to chose "First row with fieldnames". I see the fields in the Calc-sheet. There are 5 fields. You created a database table with 7 fields. Did you chose the columns and sort the columns in the second tab of the import dialog?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying data from Calc to Base...
But in that case, I think it won't let you fill (or paste) ID field anymore. I'm not sure, just memory recall, hope to be wrong.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying data from Calc to Base...
Hello Zed, I haven't used 6.4 much yet except with already existing databases. With 6.0 (on Ubuntu) it was required that there be an auto incrementing index field or the import would fail with messages like you describe. If your ID field is not set to auto increment modify the field property so it auto increments then try the import again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: version control of sorts: it is gone?
> Ah thanks but it is only for odt format, not for docx. Which makes sense Back in the oldey-timey days of Office 97, MS-Office also supported versions within the .doc files. They stopped doing this because they wanted to push the MUCH more expensive Sharepoint which also stores versions. But the docx format, as far as I know, has no support for versions.

The thing I've noticed is that even of the checkbox for "always save new version" is set it doesn't do, as I supposed, save a new version when you hit "Save", you actually have to go into the versions box and force it. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan.http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

Hello Uwe, I'm using LibreOffice version 6.0.7.3. "Version..." is the ninth item on the "File" menu. I've done no menu customizations.

Hi I swear I have seen a version control of sorts[1], maybe back in the old days of openoffice. You could manually set versions which tend increased the size of the file quite a bit because new versions were saved on top of old ones. I cannot find this feature anymore. Is it gone?

Actually, I don't think they are even that: those are just how they are represented in Open Document Format. Remember that documents files can be saved from LibreOffice is other formats too. I think what you have in the editing window at the end of a paragraph is defined not by how it will be represented in any saved file but by its properties in the window - in other words, what you can do with it and how you do it. And the answer to that is simply a "paragraph break" and a "line break".
