[libreoffice-users] Problem with .odm (master document) with LO Writer 6.4.6 on Mageia-7
With LO Writer 6.1 I could open a master document ~/.odm and choose to see the whole set of defined files updated, concatenated, and shown as 1 large document. But with LO Writer 6.4.6 the 'Navigator' display cannot be exited to allow the composite document to be shown. Instead, closing Navigator cause the whole call of LO Writer to close! Anyone here also find this, and a way round the problem? -- /\/\aurice (In E.Hampshire, UK) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Whether using Tom's suggestion of drag-'n-drop or yours to 'Insert file', both would bee tedious when several files are often involved, but would be usable in the occasional general case. The particular requirement is for a routine search through the same set of files, with the requirement that the contents are the latest version in each case, so for convenience it needs to be a pre-defined list. It may be that the Master Document facility will allow me to have a master document that permanently lists that set of files, and brings their current contents in dynamically whenever the master document is opened. Will look further into that; I'm hoping that the contents of each file are not frozen at the time when they are first inserted into the master. Thanks to all for pointing out so many options!

[libreoffice-users] LO 4.0.3.3: 'Insert: Horizontal rule' is missing
Having installed Mageia-3 on a trial basis, I have come across an omission in its LO 4.0.3.3 that I have been using on Mageia-2's LO 3.5.7.2, namely 'Insert: Horizontal rule' The result is that any document prepared with 3.5.7.2 does not appear correctly under 4.0.3.3. I see from: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/14922/why-is-horizontal-line-broken-in-401/ that the omission is a deliberate change rather than accidental (although it seems the Help info still thinks otherwise...). Why on earth drop a feature that people are using? What is the rationale?

Possibly a Mandriva-side issue, but the single data point from Ubuntu could be even margin defaults in drivers from older driver sets (old printer for example). I remember having a Epson C84 inkjet printer, and the page as driven by a much older CUPS than 2.5.6 with Gutenprint only very limitedly linked in had page offset in mapping (even on test page) with page offset to left by almost an inch until I told the developer about the problem and he and I engaged in a month-long conversation in email and the then active linuxprinting.org (Sponsored by the then Mandrake, one of the things that drew me to that distro to buy was their sponsored linuxprinting.org and sponsorship of a bunch of Linux printing driver devs) posts that ended up with the printer driver working in CUPS-Gutenprint. I would tell him how much I had to adjust page manually in page offsetting, and he would default that into code. No internal offset (which during development and adjustment varied a lot as to which way and how much) and exaggeration of size of font and spaces and underline widths which would give a cutoff on right given that CUPS treats everything as if it had 300 dots per inch until much more recently with Gutenprint doing a lot of the background drivere work for more than 1000 printers, and HPijs doing driver work for many HP lasers. General rule, the more modern CUPS and Gutenprint are for printing, the better more drivers are. Printer driver developers are poor, so they tend to not afford to buy a lot of printers themselves-- the C84 was very popular in US, less so in Europe. Now that the printer driver devs are getting more feedback faster, drivers are better faster. He had an Epson C82 to use, donated to him, but the C84 had enough differences that a driver had to be extremely adjusted to work with a C84. He changed things slowly, told me when a new update was ready, and I downloaded the updated driver set often-- I wanted to not spend $200.00 US on a good printer to replace my C84. The Ubuntu user might possibly benefit from this somewhat long post, so I include it here for forwarding. Mandriva of PowerPack or 2010 varieties without CUPS and Gutenprint and driver sets updated to current, might also have such issues.

[libreoffice-users] Installing LO 3.4.5
Within a bug report I have been asked to install try LO 3.4.5, which I have already downloaded (+ GB-lang help packs).

[libreoffice-users] Unable to install LibreOffice 3.4.3
I am unable to install LibreOffice version 3.4.3. Below is the procedure I have taken to install 3.4.3 and the problems I have encounted. 1. Download LibreOffice from www.libreoffice.org/download/ The file is called LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe (this is the multilanguage installer for English) 2. When you double click the file it will expand the files in a folder usually placed on the desktop. It is better not to change the position of this folder. 3. At the end of the decompression, the install procedure starts with Welcome to the guided LibreOffice 3.4 installation (words might be slightly different, as I see the windows in Italian because I have an Italian Windows system). 4. The next window asks to insert your name and organization. 5. The next window you can choose from Default and Customized install (I always choose Customized). 6. The next window allows me to choose the components: I install all LibreOffice modules, while I choose inside Optional Components the dictionaries and the extensions I want to install. I usually do not install any of the Additional Languages. 7. The next window allows to set LibreOffice as the default application for MS Office files. 8. The next windows starts the installation procedure proper. 9. At the end, you can delete the folder on the desktop with the install files, as they are not necessary. Steps 1 and 2 accomplished without any problem. Step 3 -- When I click on the .exe file I am offered a folder located on the desktop into which the .exe file will be expanded prior to the installation proceeding. I am also offered the opportunity to change that location and name of the folder if I want to. This is where problems begin to happen -- ~ If I change the location or folder name into which the .exe file expands -- then This is what happens -- At the end of the decompression, the install procedure starts with a very quick installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 and then immediately drops down to step 8 and proceeds to install LibreOffice. When the installation progress bar gets to the end, ie the installation is finished, then a window appears with the following information -- Error 1719 The window Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if the windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your Support personnel for assistance The window disappears and there is no evidence of LibreOffice being installed. ~~ If I accept the offered location into which the .exe file expands -- then This is what happens -- At the end of the decompression, the install procedure starts with a very quick installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 and then proceeds to step through steps 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, where I can make all the selections I want as described above, and the installation proceeds. When the installation progress bar gets to the end, ie the installation is finished, then a window appears with the following information -- Error 1719 The window Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if the windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your Support personnel for assistance The window disappears and there is no evidence of LibreOffice being installed. ~~ I then went back and tried to install LibreOffice again, using the offered folder location. At the end of the decompression, the install of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 begins and then a window appears and tells me that LibreOffice installation is suspended and would I like to uninstall it. I click yes and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 is uninstalled and then reinstalled. Then steps 3 through 8 as before ending with the same Error message 1719 as before. ~~ Ar this point I saw that I was going around in circles and achieving nothing so I resorted to a previous OS Image (I use Macrium Reflect on a monthly basis) to remove all traces of LibreOffice until the problems are fixed. I have installed the Official LibreOffice Portable onto a memory stick and it works well, but slow, so I presume that the installer program is at fault. I have Installed other programs on Windows 7 64bit Home premium without any problems so I am reluctant to suspect that the OS is at fault. I do not know where to report this as a bug. (Two bugs in fact) I have gone back to using OpenOffice version 3.3.0 until this problem can be fixed. Searching Google for error 1719 gives a lot of reading but no answers not even from MS sites. Can anyone help please. ~~~ Maurice Helwig ~~~ -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Unable-to-install-LibreOffice-3-4-3-tp3482193p3482193.html Sent from the Users mailing list

On Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:31:02 -0800, Mark wrote: This is an option you can turn off under Tools-Options-Languages-Writings Aids OK - thanks, Mark! I think what I'll do is work with grammar check 'off' until the document is complete, then switch it on for a final grammar check. You'd have to go through all the grammar rules the checker uses to find the one this violates. It doesn't bother me much that the occasional word or phrase is marked - that's not intrusive - and I would welcome it finding it more subtle grammatical erors. It's the marking of all the hand-made indents that I cannot tolerate. It makes too much of a visual mess of the document. ... it's probably an artifact of your particular paragraph styles vs. MS Word for DOS (and all of its descendants, opponents, etc.). Make a style that is indented (say, Indented) and use Body or Text Body for the other and you won't see this. If you mostly use indented paragraphs, change the Body style to be indented and use something else (e.g. Text Body) for the others. My use of Writer is for a few general 'home' letters and such - not a plethora of large formal documents - and I only have one style. I do not wish to get into the complication of 'a style for this and a style for that', etc. In that sense I have no problem with OpenOffice Writer. It's bossy LibreOffice that is upsetting my apple cart! Newcomers to xxxOffice will probably also wonder what the hell all those wiggly lines are for. Why not leave grammar check 'off' by default; then the more professional users can use it as they wish? -- /\/\aurice -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
