[libreoffice-users] Can't create folders in document directory
I am having a major problem that started a few weeks ago. Documents Directory is selected. I click on “New Folder” at top or click on documents and choose new folder from the menu, the try to name the folder. Consistent error message: “Can’t find the specified file. Make Sure you specify the correct path and file name.” When I click try again I get a message that the file or folder does not exist. So weird since I’m not looking for a file! And the error messages make no sense. I’ve checked a few folders in my document directory and they are “read only” Documents inside are readable, but I can’t make a new folder to put them into. Uninstalled LibreOffice and reinstalled: same problem. Should I look for another open source writer? -- 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] Can't save Font changes to my template (or any template)
I've tried several ways after searching, including one that's supposed to be for the latest LibreOffice. It's writer I want to change since I don't use the others. Also I try to set the paragraph spacing the way I want and it won't stick. A footer with page number will stick. Every time I set up "My Template" or try to edit the derfault Template to get rid of Liberation serif which I dislike, to Arial, it changes itself back on subtitle, etc.. Even if I save a file set up the way I want and open it, the default fonts have changed. I've spent an hour trying to find a way to create a template or even a file, making a desktop shortcut so I can open that file as a template, and nothing works. Does someone know how to change the default Template permanently and then how to pin that one to the taskbar permanently? -- 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] Java for browsers different than for LibreOffice?
I found a 64bit Java download It says it can cause problems in 32Bit browsers (which is the usually installed one for firefox.) There is also a link to show how to disable it in the browser. I am totally confused. Should I install the one that seems to be for browsers, or is there something different for LibreOffice? Or should I just download the one I found, move it into LibreOffice through the instructions sent by Remy, and disable it in firefox? Or will disabling it in firefox mess it up in Libre Office?

Sorry about the attachemnts. I'm not sure how to find a file-sharing site. I only have the one version of Java.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc
The person who has the file available downloaded and opened it without a problem. She suggested I try restarting my computer. There are two versions of the file one with the ODF extension and one with the Microsoft extension. Neither worked for me. I did restart my computer but haven't had time to find the file to try it again. My computer is old. The operating system has some problems, especially printing. It prints PDF files and emails in tiny script so I have to use a capture program to print those. My video card is also starting to hiccup so I ordered another, much smaller computer. I haven't wanted to wipe this one and start from scratch, so put up with the glitches. I have windows 10 on my laptop which I don't use much, but I don't like the start menu. Will have to get used to it now. Hopefully the compensation will be, after I install everything I need, that the printing will work right (I tried a new printer so it has to be the operating system) and maybe the ODF file will open. More than you wanted to know. Thanks for your reply!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc
Thanks to all of you for helping me to understand how it works. Unfortunately, when I tried to open the file with (what I thought was Writer but was any of them as I now understand) it was saved with the SLSX extenstion, LibreOffice gave me a message that the file was corrupt. I selected the try to fix option, but they couldn't repair it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior
More on Macros. My shortcuts are still there. One still worked. Maybe I found it under the list under tables and just assigned a shortcut. It was "select table." One had some technical terms I didn't understand and when I used the shortcut to convert the table to text (which I remember recording) I got an error message that I'll attach.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior
I checked and got the message about Java when I chose "organize macros > LibreOffice Basic. (Writer isn't there.) I said "No" and now I see my Macros without getting the message. Anyhow my macros are gone again. I made a library called "My Macros" Maybe if I store them under the Standard Library, they won't disappear. I assigned each one to a shortcut so I shouldn't need to go into the library, should I? I still can't figure out why, when I save a document and then look under "Run Macros," I find a new library with the title I just saved. Tried it just now and titled it Test. Sure enough, there it is! I looked under another document I had opened and found a library for both that one and "Test." Then I opened one from the Run option in the Win 7 start menu and checked and there is a Library named "untitled 2" even before I saved it. Is this usual behavior? I know so little and have always used Writer to create simple text documents or tables. This is the first time I tried creating macros. Also, for some reason, I can't get LibreOffice Writer to put an icon on the taskbar. I have to start a new doc from Windows 7 start menu "Run LibreOffice Writer." Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall? On Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 5:51 PM, Andrew Pitonyak wrote: > > Many features are not available without Java so it lives on every computer > that I own.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Underlined unformatted text
You are right. It doesn't. I usually open a page that I had formatted the way I like. It had some text when I saved it as a template. I just delete the text and use the page which is saved as untitled. I'm having some problems with writer. My taskbar link won't work anymore. So I'll have to find the executable file and save another link to the taskbar. Also I'm having some crashing problems. Seems like it's happening since the most recent update. Thank you for the reply and the fix! On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 10:41 PM, Steve Edmonds wrote: > Hi. > When you paste unformatted text, the text takes on the formatting > currently active at the cursor.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior
Yes, I always use the record macro feature since I don't know enough to do it any other way. Thank you for the old post, I will try it. I did fiind my macros, can't even remember how I got there.

[libreoffice-users] Pasted Text inside a "box"
It happens quite often when I paste something I want to save. The box can be holding a lot of text and you have to stay in it to add your own text. It's not a table because a right click doesn't bring up table options. I tried paragraph formate from the right cliick and checked no borders. No luck.

Re: [libreoffice-users] One more question before I give up for the night. I thought the table was set to not split cells when it went to the next page, but that's not happening. I've looked for a way
Robert, yes, the replies helped me to see what I was doing wrong and it works now. I think you are the one who told me to use "reply all?" Forgive my faulty memory. I can't find the reply all feature in gmail: correction: I just looked and under settings I have a choice. I can check "reply" or "reply" all. Now I find I have a choice after setting it to "reply all." I don't know if it will work this time since I'd already started this reply. One more thing I've learned recently.

[libreoffice-users] Frustrated with stupid behavior while trying to do a project.
I am using a table to list all of our scattered names, phone numbers, etc to keep them together in alphabetical order. It means I guess where the names go and cut and paste to put entries in the correct places. All has been fine, until now. Now suddenly, I can't cut and paste one of the cells. It cuts, but won't paste where I want it to go.. I tried to just write the information into the cell and get this message: "Read only content; Write protected content cannot be changed. No modifications will not be accepted" It's my document for heaven's sake. I didn't write protect it. I've tried to find a place under the table menu where something got changed and can't. If I have to I'll try save it under another name and then see if the problem sticks, but I shouldn't have to. Can anyone tell me how this glitch happened and if there's anything I can do to change it? I've been working all day and hoped to finish tonight. What's wrong with this program! I would be so grateful for an answer!

[libreoffice-users] Inserting date - still a problem
Last night I used the keyboard shortcut I made to insert the date. Unfortunately there was no choice that I could see to insert date (fixed). This morning the date has changed to today's date.

I looked under Macros and have to enable JRE, which I think puts my computer more at risk for hackers etc. Not only that, the option seemed to be to run a Macro already created, but I didn't see an option to record the steps for a Macro.
