Re: [libreoffice-users] trouble installing fonts to use with Libre Office

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Sigrid

Which weights are missing. If it is the bold and italic versions of
the fonts then there is really nothing to fix because the get mapped to the
bold/italic buttons of their respective "regular" font.

For example if you install Work Sans
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans

You will se a lot of weights of the font like Work Sans Black, Work Sans
Thin etc. However you will not see any Work Sans Bold in the list of fonts
but if you use the font called Work Sans and press the bold button
LibreOffice will automatically use the Work Sans Bold font. One way to
check this out is to export to pdf and then inspect the fonts that is in
use.

If other weights than bold and italic are missing then it would be
interesting to dig deeper into why they are not available.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Get spell check to ignore website addresses?

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi

Well normally this just works. ;)

The way it is designed is that LibreOffice first recognize that you have
typed a hyperlink. Then it automatically turns it into an actual link. By
doing that it also applies the character style called hyperlink, you know
that blue text which is underlined. That style also has the language set to
None which makes the spell checker ignore it.

If you however turn of the automatic detection of hyperlinks then I suppose
that you need to manually set the language to None. If you turned it of
because you do not like the format of the hyperlink then I would suggest
that you create a template and change the relevant character style to your
liking and set that template as your default template. Note that there is
also a style for visited links.

Hi

I wonder - would it be possible to create a more generic (and I'm sure
more complicated) extension that allows you to create new sub-menu
content entries like this?

Or, maybe, just one that allows you to add one of the main menus (ie, in
this case, 'Table') to the context menu?

Anyway, just thinking how to make it more useful to others...
Well, the short answer is that sure it is possible, but it is quite an 
undertaking to do it.
It would require time that I simply don't have at the moment. However 
I'll probably
look into doing it, or at least a simplified version of it from time to 
time. ;)
One of the harder part would be to create a simple and intuitive dialog 
for the

feature.

Might be good to note that it is definitely easier to add context menu 
entries if

I only now what to add and where.

Hi

I created an extension that adds a submenu, Cell Protection, to the context
menu of tables. Feel free to give feedback, and I will try to publish the
extension to the LibreOffice Extension Center.

Note that at the moment the extension is in English only.

For the time being, you can download the extension from:

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress Default Style in Drawing Object Styles

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi

Well one thing that comes to mind is if I do not like the default color 
of objects then I'll change the color in the Default style. That will 
also change the color for the children. Of course not all the children 
use this setting but see for example Object with shadow.
Another example might be that you want to chante the font used inside 
objects. Change the default and see how it changes in the style Text, 
Text body and so on.


Try it out and test it on different shapes and figures. Make a test 
presentation and go wild for a moment. I hope that it will become more 
clear to you when you experimented a bit with it.

Niklas Johansson

Kevin O'Brien skrev den 2015-02-26 22:44:

This is something I have not seen before, and I am not entirely clear
on it. Nor can I find it searching through the Impress guide. When I
look at the hierarchical view in the Styles and Formatting it is
implied that all other styles are based on it, but that doesn't make a
lot of sense to me. Just what is the Default style good for, and how
should it be used?

Thanks,

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Basic: problem retrieving document Keywords property

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi John

It seems that Keywords is stored as a string array, so if you want to 
read it into a string you need to convert it into a string. One way to 
do this is to use the Join-function. In your case exchange the line that 
crashes with.

pDates = Join(oDoc.DocumentProperties.Keywords, , )

I'm not 100 % sure if comma is used as a separator in all languages, let 
us know if the code above does not work for you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Managing PopUp Menus

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Paolo

If I understand this correctly you have created a dialog that contains a 
button that you want to give dropdown-functionality. The Main method 
starts the dialog and when the button is pressed it calls the sub 
PopupButton that creates the popup button and sets up the XMenuListener 
and a couple of subs that are used by the listener.


If you look at the api docs and search for XMenuListener you'll find:
http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/interfacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1awt_1_1XMenuListener.html

There you'll find out that the memberfunctions for this listener is not 
the same as the ones you used. I actually think this is true for newer 
versions of Apache OpenOffice as well, but that is a side note and I 
haven't looked into this to deeply.


This means that you need to adapt the names of last five subs from
PopupMenuListener_select - PopupMenuListener_itemSelected
PopupMenuListener_highlight - PopupMenuListener_itemHighlighted
PopupMenuListener_activate - PopupMenuListener_itemActivated
PopupMenuListener_deactivate - PopupMenuListener_itemDeactivated
PopupMenuListener_disposing - PopupMenuListener_disposing

OK the last one did not need any adaption. ;)

A quick tip if you create a uno listener is to inspect it with xray to 
find out what methods (subs) you need to create. Let us know if you need 
more guidance.

Niklas Johansson

Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro to autoload first recent doc

[Niklas Johansson]

Let's improve the code a bit...

When we open the registry key we do not need it to be editable so let's 
open it as read only. By default GetRegistryKeyContent opens it as such. 
For some reason LibreOffice complains about named arguments not 
supported for the object, as Jon pointed out to me.


I've changed the key as well to correspond exactly with the key in 
registry. You can search for the key in the registrymodifications.xcu 
file (with the path 
%appdata%\LibreOffice\4\user\registrymodifications.xcu on windows).


I've added a new sub which opens the file and sets some open arguments 
according to what is saved in the registry and if the file is a template 
it should be opened in edit mode. I do not think that the password part 
works at the moment, so that part of the code probably needs some love. ;)


Sub Load1st()
Dim oCUA, oList, oItem As Object
 If Not BasicLibraries.isLibraryLoaded(Tools) Then 
BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary(Tools)

 REM use GetRegistryKeyContent function from the module Tools.Misc
 oList =

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with Export as PDF

[Niklas Johansson]

I would not really call it a bug. If you only want to export a part of the
document as PDF and embed the odf then how much of the odf should be
embedded. If only part of the document would be embedded then how would
LibreOffice know what to throw away.

I'd recommend, take a copy of the document and remove the unwanted parts
and then do the export with the embed option enabled.

[libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] How to enable focus caret tracking with Gnome magnifier

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Bas

Do you have Gnome Magnifier running when you start LibreOffice?

If I'm not mistaken LibreOffice checks if there are any
accessibility applications running when it starts up. If it finds any then
it starts sending accessibility events otherwise it does not.

On Feodora you should not have to change any option from within LibreOffice
to enable accessibility.

Re: [libreoffice-users] autotext in 4.xx - anybody please

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Thomas

Just to recap:
You've upgraded Windows from XP to Windows 7 and then upgraded 
LibreOffice 3.6 to 4.1.


The path to the user folder is moved by Windows in the upgrade of 
Windows. My guess is that the path to the AutoText-files, that is stored 
under that folder, did not get converted properly.

- Open the dialog AutoText (Ctrl + F3) and click on Paths...
- Do you see a path that looks something like this:
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice 4\user\autotext

If you do not see such a path then you can add it and try again. You 
might also want to check the paths for other program functions.
Go to Tools - Options... and in the dialog that pops up look under the 
section LibreOffice - Paths (the list to the left). If you see an entry 
that starts with C:\Documents and Settings... it is likely wrong so 
select it in the list and click on the button Default. If everything 
goes well you should now see a path that starts with C:\Users\...


After Windows XP Microsoft moved a lot of folders around among others 
the %AppData% folder where the user profile of LibreOffice is stored. 
Now the problem is that these files contains some settings that links to 
the paths that no longer exist.


Sorry for the late answer, I hope this solves your problems.
If it does not, please let us know what paths are listed in your 
AutoText dialog so we can figure out what else might have gone wrong.


Anyway let us know how it turns out.

Regards,
Niklas Johansson

When it comes to the documentation of the filter options this is 
probably as close as you get:

There is also a simple and effective way to find out different options, 
as described by Villeroy [1]


quote
Open the csv manually with all bells and whistles. Then run the 
following code and copy the FilterOptions.


|Sub showFilterOptions()
Dim args(),i%
   args() = ThisComponent.getArgs()
   for i = 0 to uBound(Args())
  if args(i).Name = FilterOptions then inputbox 
args(i).Name,,cStr(args(i).value)

   next
End Sub|

Hi,
I can't find any information on how to set the arguments for
LoadComponentFromURL when loading a csv-file via macro over the network.
The example below worked fine with OpenOffice some time ago, but yields
exceptions when running it with LibreOffice because the function call
returns a NULL pointer. So my question:

- where can I find a list of valid filters for LibreOffice?
- what arguments do I have to provide to read csv-files?

The available documentation in the API on how to supply these arguments is
useless when it doesn't provide the allowed values or a hint how to
construct them. Also I couldn't find any helpful information via Google.

Re: [libreoffice-users] help

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Markus

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with LibreOffice. There are 
quite a few issues surrounding combo boxes, list boxes and pop up 
buttons in LibreOffice. Even though the program has had some great 
improvements in the last year issues with list boxes and pop up buttons 
still remain to be fixed.


I will try to guide you through a few steps in a hope that you at least 
can get something exported.

I suppose it is the odt2braille extension your talking about?

Go to File - Export to braille
Press tab three times to get to the first pop-up button
Press the down arrow twice to select PEF format (sorry VoiceOver does 
not announce anything but the PEF is last). At least for me the 
extension seems to save my last setting. Also note that PEF seems to be 
the only of the three available choices that disables the next pop-up 
button so if pressing tab takes you to a check box then you have 
selected the correct format.


The rest of the settings in this dialog should be accessible from the 
VoiceOver-cursor.


Let us know if you can make it work. I'm getting some exception with 
liblouisxml that I haven't looked into but that might be something with 
my specific setup.


Let's hope that the improvements to Windows accessibility, that is 
currently going on within the project, will rub off on the accessibility 
improvements for other platforms as well.


Regards,
Niklas Johansson

Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail Merge and Labels

[Niklas Johansson]

So I tried to look in to this and checked the measurements that I get 
when I create the labels and they seem to be correct. Of course it is 
like Virgil said there is no space before the text whereas Word ads 
0,07 both to the left and the right of the text. You can easily mimic 
that distance by modifying the Default Style to add an Indent 
Before/After text of 0,07.


Could you create a simple label document and mail it to me directly? 
Just so that I can check if you do not get different measurements the me.


Sorry for not being able to get back to you sooner.

Niklas Johansson

I just noticed this thread, and I have to chime in that, the last time I
tried to create labels, I too noticed that the LO Avery 5160 template
alignment was off. I had to adjust the contents of every cell. At that time,
I was still using LO 3.5.x. I have not yet tried since upgrading to the
4.x.x range.

At the time, I just installed Apache OO, as its template worked properly.

If I recall correctly, I think there may have been other label templates
online as extensions that worked better than LO's label template.

So I looked at the configuration in LibreOffice 4.0.6 and LibreOffice

compared it to the result that I get in Word 2013 for the same label
(sorry for not thinking about doing that earlier). So before I put
anymore time into this it would be good to know what version of
LibreOffice you used when you created the labels?

I think the configuration in the wizard may be wrong.  The Avery 5160 has
30 labels on a 8.5 x 11 sheet each measuring 1 x 2 5/8.  It is
probably one of the most common labels used so I am surprised the issue
hasn't previously been raised.  As I indicated in my email, I didn't have
any problem when I switched to Word so I am reasonably confident the issue
is not related to my printer.

Hi Jeff

Is the issue that you used lable sheets of the type Avery 5160 and that
the preconfiguration for these lables were wrong?
I think that I remember reading some issues with the label

functionality

(File - New - Label) in an earlier version of LibreOffice that might
or might not be fixed in newer versions. What version of LibreOffice

did

you use?

Do you have any specifications for the measurements of these specific
labels so I can do a quick review if there seems to be any issues there?

Note also that you can tweak the measurements under the Format tab of
the Labels-dialog. Not that you should need to if you use labels that
has a preset configuration.

Kind regards,
Niklas Johansson

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base - Pushbutton on Form not working.

In short the message you get tells you that the macro that the button is 
linked to cannot be found. Then it tells you where it is looking for the

the macro really located there?


If it is still giving you issues what happens if you try to attach the

When I first try to install it, it complains that I need to stop
the Microsoft Windows Search Host Protocol after some searching
I was able to pause it for 15 minutes, since I don't really need

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO WRITER BASIC: insert an image, put a drawing-text on top and jump to next page

[Niklas Johansson]

Your observation that the image is still selected, is correct.
You can deselect an object (image) by pressing the Esc-button.
In other words I would add the following line before Wend:
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:Escape, , 0, Array())

That will probably solve your problem, you might need to adjust
the exact location of the code line so that the image gets deselected
at the right time.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with eLAIX extension on LibO 4.0

Hi

To bad it did not work out for you. I can't see any issue with the way 
you installed as a shared extension. I usually start LibreOffice as 
administrator and install the extension through the GUI instead of doing 
it the terminal way but that is just a preference.

Hi. Thanks for the help, Niklas.

First: Neither DlgAbout nor DlgBookmark under eLAIX node when installed as a 
user extension.

Second: I followed your advise and try to install eLAIX as a shared macro, but 
it didn't work either. I just summarize what I did so you can check I didn't 
make any mistake:

I'm running LibO 4.0 on Windows Vista 32 bits SP 2. I opened the extension manager 
through the GUI (Tools - Extension manager) and uninstalled eLAIX. I closed 
LibO and downloaded the OXT file from the web into my user folder. I right-clicked 
on the Windows promt icon and selected 'Open as administrator'. The Windows prompt 
popped up in a new window. I executed 'unopkg add --shared c:/path/file.oxt' from 
the 'program' sub-folder of LibO (of course I changed the 'path' and 'file' 
generic names for the actual ones). Unopkg run without problems, printed a copy of 
the license and asked me to agree, which I did. It came out to the promt without 
error. I exited the administrator promt and started Write. The eLAIX extension was 
installed, but:
-gave the same error
-when checking the macros manager (Alt+F11), eLAIX was under the shared macros, 
but DlgAbout and/or DlgBookmark were still missing from the node.

No idea why the macros are being deleted, but hope this information could help 
to report a bug (I don't have the knowledge to report it properly). Thanks 
again everybody,
Joaquín




Sorry to hear that you are still having troubles with this.

So what that line of code is suppose to do is to load the dialogs in the
library eLAIX so that they can be used by the program. For some reason
this is not possible.

I've seen some problems with dialog libraries disappearing in some cases
so let's see if we can pin down if this is what has happened.

Open Writer
Press Alt+F11
Press the button Edit in the dialog that appears
On the left side in the editor you have a tree structure, find eLAIX and
expand that node
Do you see a DlgAbout or DlgBookmark there under?

We should probably try to formulate a bug report about vanishing dialog
libraries (as well as basic libraries). I found it hard to formulate
such a bug since I haven't found when it happens just that it happens
some times, and I believe it's more and more frequent.

Just a thought, you could try to install the extension as a shared
extension.
If it is installed as a shared extension then LibreOffice will need
elevated rights to change the dialogs, which it should not have under
normal circumstances. Of course this does not fix the actual problem but
it might make it possible for you to use eLAIX without having to
repeatedly reinstalling the extension each time the dialogs disappear.

Let us know if you need more information on how to install a shared
extension, and in that case please let us know what operating system
your using (Windows, Mac, some sort of Linux distribution ...)

Hi :)

Congrats on fixing it!  Sometimes it is worth pinpointing exactly what caused 
the problem but other times it is better to shrug it off and put it down to bad 
luck which you have now beaten (inshalla).  Maybe if it happens again it might 
be worth
  finding the cause?

Regards from
Tom :)









Thanks, Niklas and Fernand.

I just reinstalled once more eLAIX 4.0.3 and now it runs perfectly. Anyway, before 
reinstalling it, I check the BASIC macros and LibO had eLAIX there (under My 
macros), but, apparently, some of the paths were wrong. Maybe because I first 
installed eLAIX on LibO 4.1 and then downgrade to 4.0? No idea, but still it works now, 
so thanks everybody!

Hi Joaquín

It sounds like the macro code is not located where the toolbar thinks
it's located or is missing.

If you press Alt+F11
Under My macros (Mina makron in Swedish) do you find a eLAIX?
if not do you see eLAIX under LibreOffice Macros

  (LibreOffice-makron)?

I did personally not have any issues installing and using the extension
on LibreOffice 4.0.4 on Windows 7 64-bit so it should be compatible with
that version.

Just to make sure, you

Just to make sure, you have reinstalled the extension, in any case do it 
again and see if you get any different result. Something might have gone 
wrong when you upgraded that might be fixed by uninstalling and 
reinstalling the extension.

Hello.

I have installed the eLAIX extension for Libre Office and it won't work. No 
matter what action I try to perform, I get a message of this kind:
BASIC runtime error.
An exception of
Type: com.sun.star.container.NoSuchElementException
Message: occurred.

(the message occurs in Swedish, this is a quick translation).

I used eLAIX for Libre Office in other computers and systems, and it worked 
perfectly, so I have no idea what the problem might be.
This time, I am running Libre Office 4.0.4.2 on Windows Vista 32 bits SP 2 and 
I've tried eLAIX versions 4.0.3 (current stable version) and 4.0.1 (first 
version supporting LibO 4.0). I had previously tried eLAIX 4.0.3 on LibO 4.1.0, 
and I thought the problem was due to eLAIX not supporting LibO 4.1, so I 
uninstalled LibO 4.1 and returned to 4.0. Anyway, the problem still the same: 
no matter what version of LibO or eLAIX I use, I get the above error message or 
something similar.

Could you give me a hand on this? Thanks for your kindness.

Best regards,
Joaquín

Re: [libreoffice-users] writer macro record function missing

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi

To be able to use the Macro recorder you need to activate Experimental 
feautres. You do this opening the menu Tools - Options (on Mac it's 
the menu LibreOffice - Preferences). In the dialog open LibreOffice - 
General and at the bottom you find a check-box that says Enable 
experimental (unstable) features. This should be activated.


When this is activated then you'll find the menu entry Tools - Macros - 
Record Macro  and you should be able to continue following the 
instructions in help.


Let us know if you run into any more issues with this.

/Niklas

Using LO-writer Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214), the unhelpful 
help says that in order to record a macro, one should: Choose *Tools 
- Macros - Record Macro*.


Under *Tools - Macros -- *there are just 3 live options: *Run Macro -- 
Organize Macros -- Organize Dialogs. *A fourth, Digital Signature, 
is grayed out.


There is no *Record *facility, either at the expected menu level, or 
under *Run*or *Organize*.


It is hard to see the relevance, but for completeness:this is all 
happening on an Acer laptop running Curtains 7; 2 GHz P6100; 3 mB L3 
cache; 4 gB.


If one ever managed to generate a macro, then there would be this 
problem: *To save the macro, first select the object where you want 
the macro to be saved in the Save macro in list box.* What is an 
object in this context? Is it what we would know as a subdirectory, 
or is there yet another new level of understanding to be mastered here?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Claris Works 3 6

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi Tink

Tinkerer skrev 2013-07-25 17:40:

I have a lot of files going back ten years which are from my early Mac days,
before System X.
They are suffixed .cwk and as I remember all Claris Works files had the same
suffix. .cwk
Will LO 4.1.0.3 open these?
You might be in luck in this case, as I understand it, files from 
AppleWorks/ClarisWorks are among the file formats that is supposed to be 
readable [1]. For more information on the new Import filters see 
Fridrichs blogpost LibreOffice import filter for legacy Mac 
file-formats... [2]. I can't speak for the quality, I have no files in 
those formats but hopefully it will make it easier for you to salvage 
those old files.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Constant values for Function arguments

[Niklas Johansson]

The problem here is that this...

Public Const STRING=4

… should not be possible. String is a reserved word and it should not be
possible to use as a name for variable. Exchange it with Public Const
sSTRING=4 and both situations you described will work just fine.
