[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
Well, it's official...I have verified that no matter what source I load a file from to edit on my PC, the Auto Save backup is always saved to the directory specified in the Path settings in Tools\Options, which is on my PC and not on my tablet. I don't have to worry about prematurely killing my SD! Thanks for all the great brainstorming guys. - Best regards, TinKicker -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-multiple-save-locations-under-Vista-tp3601508p3605608.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
Hi, all. I'm working on a website project, editing stories for web publication with LibreOffice. I'm storing all of my texts on a Coby MID7022 tablet for convenient reading wherever I am, and in order to edit them, I've been linking to the tablet as an external drive through my USB port. My concern is that I don't want to prematurely wear out the SD in my tablet with the constant autosaves of LibreOffice, so what I want to do is: 1) Load my target file for editing from the tablet into LibreOffice on my PC running Vista. 2) Autosave the file as I edit into an equivalent directory on my PC. 3) Do a final canonical (I just /love/ that word!) save onto the tablet. This will allow the PC to accept all the wear and tear instead of the relatively more fragile SD. I know, I know...SD's can last years and years and years...but in the safety of my backups of my life's work, I'm paranoid. This has GOT to be possible! You guys are too smart for it to not be!

[libreoffice-users] Can words in LibreOffice be auto-italicized?
Everyone in writing has to italicize certain names or titles over and over again throughout their work. Is there an option to make this happen automatically for particular words as you type? I suspect it could be done through a macro, but I am a total novice in that. I've looked at Options, but I haven't seen this. Am I missing something?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can words in LibreOffice be auto-italicized?
Tom, I appreciate your kind reply. I /have /used find replace successfully, but I honestly hadn't thought of autocorrect. It's been several years since I experimented with that, actually, and I guess I need to try using it before I ask someone to reinvent the wheel, huh? Find replace works well enough, but I'm always just a tad nervous my parameters will allow the program to alter something I didn't intend to. As in, I replace all instances of and with , and then my text reads, Joe sighted l after four days. Upon reaching the shore he wiggled his toes in the s. I am well capable of far worse errors, I assure you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Can-words-in-LibreOffice-be-auto-italicized-tp3601650p3602132.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
Once again, thank you Tom.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
I just examined the directories listed in Paths and I can't seem to find one that's obviously an autosave directory. Do they go to the temp directory? - Best regards, TinKicker -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-multiple-save-locations-under-Vista-tp3601508p3602187.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
Thank you, Tom. What you suspect is what I've suspected also. Which takes me back to square one. If I want to edit the file I'm storing on the tablet, then LibreOffice will autosave back to the tablet, which will access the SD too much for my comfort. I guess, unless somebody else chimes in, it's back to brute force: load and edit from the PC, then do a SAVE AS to the tablet. Clunky and inelegant. A program of LibreOffice's caliber should be able to automate what I'm trying to do. I welcome all suggestions! - Best regards, TinKicker -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-multiple-save-locations-under-Vista-tp3601508p3602462.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can words in LibreOffice be auto-italicized?
Hmmm. I like the way you think Pedro, BUT I tried it and it doesn't work. I have 3.4.4. When I copy a properly italicized word in my text to the clipboard, then open the autocorrect form, then type in the word normally in the left box and paste the before-italicized version into the right box, it shows as /not /italicized. I AM CONFUSED! Now heading to the feature request page... - Best regards, TinKicker -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Can-words-in-LibreOffice-be-auto-italicized-tp3601650p3602887.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice multiple save locations under Vista
TomW wrote I just did a test on my Vista system by setting a very short auto-save(auto recovery) time. The path for my system is C:\Users\TomW\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\backup on my system. When you close the file, the file copy in the'Backup' folder is deleted. Tom, Thank you for all your effort, here and in the other post of mine. Due to a serious disaster years ago involving losing lots of work during a power outage, I keep my autosave at 1 minute. That's the reason I was worried about the SD. Lot's of access! But your message above encourages me. Now I shall load in my text from the tablet and see if that autosave file appears in my backup directory on the PC. If it does, all my troubles are over. Thanks again! - Best regards, TinKicker -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-multiple-save-locations-under-Vista-tp3601508p3603294.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
