Re: [libreoffice-users] Can Libreoffice Compress a PNG file?
Well, I got the idea because I was making Twitch emotes. I followed a tutorial that used the compression tools in Microsoft Word. Because I don't have Word and hate it, I thought could I use LibreOffice? So I have had another go and there is a good compression tool! Thank you!

[libreoffice-users] Can Libreoffice Compress a PNG file?
I make Twitch emotes in GIMP. They cannot be more than 25 Mb or Twitch rejects them. I found a tutorial somewhere that said that Libreoffice has a png compression tool. But when I put my png into LibreOffice I got a whole load of symbol junk. So instead I used a free online tool that reduced my png from 30 Kb to 7 Kb with no quality change. But could I have used anything in Libreoffice to do this? -- 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
[libreoffice-users] Re: Interesting problem opening files in Libreoffice 6.2
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried as suggested: In Windows 7: o Close LibreOffice (not just the current document). o If it is running, close the Quickstarter. To do this, find its icon in the System Tray (bottom right of the display screen), right-click it, and select Exit or Quit or whatever. o Start File Explorer, click in the address bar to select what's there, and enter %AppData%\libreoffice\4 (exactly like that) there. Click the right-arrow (or press Enter) to navigate to the folder which that code represents. o Rename the "user" folder you find there (which contains the actual profile) in order to disable it. (Alternatively, you could just delete it.) o Restart LibreOffice, which should create a clean copy of the profile for you. That works! I did see the question section on the Libreoffice website. But I decided to ask here because I wasn't asking a yes/no question with one right answer and the Libreoffice site says that it isn't suited to discussions. FYI I work in the pest control/home inspection industry and Libreoffice is popular there; a lot of home inspectors put libreoffice on a laptop and fill out the inspection result forms in the truck using it. They love libreoffice and don't touch Microsoft Word with a bargepole. I'll tell some of them about this solution if they have the same problem. We are required by our insurance and pest control companies to stick to the strict formats because if anything goes to court and we deviate then a clever lawyer can argue: "you deviated from the format so are you doing the final report or a rough draft? So is your report worth anything as evidence?" FYI it used to be allowed in the early zeroes to do a report form by hand! But in about 2004 that was no longer permitted. Thanks again!

[libreoffice-users] Interesting problem opening files in Libreoffice 6.2
Hello. I am a serious business user of Libreoffice 6.2 [latest version as of May 8, 2019] I have used Libreoffice since version 3 and this is my first problem with it. I use insurance claim forms that a company sends me in a .docx format. Then I open them in Libreoffice. This time when I did so Libreoffice won't let me edit the document. I put the document in edit mode in Libreoffice. That didn't allow editing either; when I put my cursor in a text box [I have text boxes where i can say yes/ no etc] nothing happens. So I opened up Libreoffice writer in Safe Mode. Then I dragged my docx file into it. Then it opens in Libreoffice and allows me to change textboxes. I am not sure though if this is a good outcome. Because the format is slightly different; the page reads straight down rather than 2 pages on the screen at a time. But for the moment it is good enough. I would prefer to not have to use the safe mode to allow editing for my.docx file opening in Libreoffice. I add that I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Is this happening to anyone else? Anything that I should do? I am not any expert on Libreoffice. I also add that all previous versions of Libreoffice did not have this problem for me. It seems to be a new issue in 6.2.
