[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice very slow on OS X

2012-03-17 Thread Carson Chittom
LibreOffice 3.5.0 is unusably slow for me on my laptop, which is running 
OS X 10.6.8, with *considerable* delays between a keypress and the character
actually showing up on the screen.  (Admittedly, this is a four-year-old
machine, but it's run Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011 and older versions of
OpenOffice.org reasonably well.)  This occurs in every LibreOffice
application.  If the problem is on my end, where can I start
troubleshooting to figure out where exactly it lies?  If the problem is
with LibreOffice, will upgrading to 3.5.1 solve my issue?  What else can
I do?

 The Queries wizard in my Libre Office 3.05 simply does not
 work. Nothing happens when I click on it. Queries through Design works
 fine. I tried by starting a new Base file to determine whether the
 problem was with the base file on which I was working but same
 problem: nothing happens when I click on the wizard option to form a
 query form. Is there a fix?

This doesn't work for me either with LibreOffice 3.4.1 on OpenBSD.
Something tickles in the back of my brain to say this wizard may require
Java (which I don't have installed), but I could be way off base.  Do
you have Java installed?

 Frankly listservs make very poor knowledge bases for the obvious
 reasons, hence the efforts by some in other communities to distill the
 problem/resolution couplet into dynamic online docs where a user will
 find current comprehensive succinct and useful information.

Such distilled couplets are a great resource provided they're kept up
to date--which in my experience they often aren't.  Or even, somebody
sees such a couplet, but dated several years ago, and then posts to a
mailing list to make sure it's still correct:  you get the worst of both
worlds.  

So yes, mailing lists do make poor knowledge bases--but then, they're
not meant to be knowledge bases (or, for that matter, a substitute from
reading actual documentation).  Knowledge bases make poor mailing lists,
too.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Themes for libreoffice Impress ? Where to get more ? And how to create ?

 Now my main question/query is where do I find more such themes at ?
 Does anybody know any sites where such user-generated custom 'themes'
 could be found ? Bonus points if one could browse them with keywords.

Try http://templates.libreoffice.org/template-center and use the
Categories dropdown menu to select Presentation templates.  There is a
search box there as well.

 The problem has nothing to do with LibreOffice. It is a built-in function of
 the HSQL database engine. I am sure that it is designed to work like this.
 '' is not a valid argument for the datediff function.
 This is the home page of that software: http://hsqldb.org/
 Version 2.2 is documented here: http://hsqldb.org/doc/guide/
 Version 1.8 is the integrated database engine of LibreOffice. Its
 documentation seems to be gone by now.

Actually, it's at http://www.hsqldb.org/doc/1.8/guide/
