Unfortunately, that isn't really an option. Any editor I've worked with would lose their minds having to manage a separate document for each chapter. On top of that, considering neither Apple Pages or MS Office has no problem with this, I'd like to think the LO developers could resolve such an issue.

[libreoffice-users] Digital Signatures
Hello everyone! So I've been trying to work out the whole digital signature mess on LibreOffice. I created a self-signed digital signature using gpg and imported it into both Firefox and Thunderbird.

[libreoffice-users] odd error in 5.0 writer
Has anyone witnessed this strange happening? I was working with the formatting of a book, using a template created by Createspace. This template has worked perfectly until 5.0. However, while working with it, I noticed text started disappearing (see attached image). I could remove the formatting of the text and it would reappear... only to immediately disappear the second I reformat. It seems to be randomly happening. I can't attach the file this is happening to, because the book has yet to be published. I can, however, attach the blank template.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer
Wrong! Calibre does a great job of converting .odt to ePub without an intermediate conversion to HTML. That may be the case, but formatting from HTML will render better results when doing the conversion. This is especially true when uploading books to Barnes Nobel. Their meatgrinder doesn't deal well with things like centering and such. You have to manually edit the CSS of the ebook file in order to get objects actually centered.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer
I fully agree. I use outline level styles all the time, and they make a world of difference, especially when used in headings. They make jumping from one heading to the next actually work on my Kindle. Virgil Along those same lines -- when you convert in Calibre -- the ONLY thing that matters (as far as chapters are concerned) is the style you use for said chapter headings. I always use H3 and then make sure to catch this in the Structure Detection section of the conversion window.

He met his goal, and quickly dropped the project. As a proud papa, I wanted to put his document to paper. He wrote the original in WordPerfect, and it was a formatting mess, with stray tabs, carriage returns, and inconsistent formatting across chapter and section headings. I began the task of reformatting his 127 page novel using WordPerfect, the original program. It didn't take long for me to realize it would take days and days to wade through all of the formatting codes inserted by WP. I have to say that unlike MS Word and its clones OO and LO, Wordperfect *does* allow proper use of styles for structure markup. Among the dozens of different document processing applications I have used over the past 25 years, Wordperfect was one of the best for authoring strongly structured documents, at par with Framemaker. Unfortunately it fell into the hands of an incompentent company (at Corel). Obivously, nothing (besides Indesign with a *competent* typographer in front of it) beats the typographic output of LyX/LaTeX, so if you want to produce a PDF ready for print, there's no other choice. I even use it for letters. Until they get redesigned to implement a proper structure markup style concept and correct typographic features (all line- and page-breaking algorithms from LaTeX are open-source), LO and OO have their value mostly for generating documents from databases.

plino wrote:
But as you said, I really don't want to browse 300.000 lines to spot

Hi plino,
for your specific case I might have a possible workaround. The following
formula (place it in any cell) would give you the row number for the first
non-numeric value in the range A1:A3.
{= MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A3), ALL GOOD, ROW(A1:A3)))}
Do not explicitly the curly braces, they appear automatically. It must be
entered as an array function, therefore press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to accept the
formula, not just ENTER.
Change the 2 references (A1:A3) to the cells you want to check. If you've
corrected the value (i.e. went to the row where the non-numeric value
appears and made it numeric) then it will refer to the next non-numeric row.
This way you can systematically address each issue (if there aren't too
many).
It's not a solution for the problem, just a workaround. Nevertheless, I
hope it helps.
Regards
Jack

[libreoffice-users] Re: SUMPRODUCT() (just some thoughts, no question)
Johnny Rosenberg wrote:
I guess the lack of knowledge of the SUMPRODUCT() function forced me
to learn quite a few other functions, workarounds and tricks…
For reference, here's one of these tricks that could be used. Let's say
you want to do the following:
= A1 * B1 + A2 * B2 + A3 * B3
You could use SUMPRODUCT() as follows:
= SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3, B1:B3)
Another way to do it is to enter the array function:
{= SUM(A1:A3 * B1:B3)}
The curly braces should not be typed manually, they will appear when you hit
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (this is called an array function).
Generally, I would suggest using SUMPRODUCT(). However, the array function
is more flexibly; you can do various different calculations with it. For
instance, enter the array function below (without curly braces, end by
pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than ENTER) ...
{= SUM(A1:A3 ^ B1:B3)}
... to get the same result as ...
= A1 ^ B1 + A2 ^ B2 + A3 ^ B3
There is no equivalent function, like SUMPOWER() or whatever (that I'm aware
of, anyway).

[libreoffice-users] Re: feature request - inline formulas in Impress
Hi - -,
- - wrote:
In LO Writer, it is possible to insert a formula inline with text.
However, there does not appear to be any way to do this in Impress. One
can still insert a formula, but it is put in as its own object, separate
from the text box, and therefore it is practically impossible to align it
with the text.
If only things like Greek letters are needed, I can just insert them as
special characters, and I can still use stand-alone formulas, *but*,
sometimes it would be very useful to be able to insert special math
characters (like the vector hat arrows, etc. or a nontrival fraction)
inline with text in a text box in Impress, and so far I see no way to do
that, although it is possible in Writer.
I've thought of a workaround, although it is a little messy. Instead of
mixing text with an inline formula, you can just add all of the text in the
formula itself. Example 1 (below) is how you would normally want to do it.
Example 2 shows my workaround. In these examples, the part between square
brackets is a formula object.
Example 1:
Euler's identity is [e^{i %pi} = -1]
Example 2:
[Euler's identity is e^{i %pi} = -1]
It does make it a little harder to get the formatting the way you want, but
at least you can get the formula in line with text without too much hassle.
I'm not sure how you would put bullet points in a formula though. Maybe you
could experiment with that a little and let us know if you find a way.

Jack

[libreoffice-users] [BASIC]: Timer() function only has resolution of 1 second
Hi all, The Timer() function in basic returns the (system?) time in seconds. Is there another function that has a better resolution? I want to time how long it takes to execute a certain function in LibreOffice Basic and I would like to have smaller increments than 1 second. I'm talking about something like this: -= Start of code =- dim startTime as single dim stopTime as single startTime = Timer() someTimeConsumingSub() stopTime = Timer() MsgBox It took stopTime - startTime second(s) to execute the code -= End of code =- Typically, this would result in something like: It took 2 second(s) to execute the code I would like something like: It took 1.957 second(s) to execute the code The reason I'm using the Timer() function is because I know in VBA it works like the second example.
