RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

2011-08-05 Thread Tony Royston
Ian,

On behalf of all Base users, thanks for trying!  As you infer, it would have 
been encouraging to receive a more pro-active reply, especially from a Founder 
of TDF (and long-time ex-oOo active member).  Perhaps it's difficult for him to 
say much else, if there are very few Base Developers.  I guess they 'stayed' 
with oOo or have moved on to other things.  It will be interesting to see if 
the oOo version fares any better...but that's another story!

Regards,

Tony Royston.

Hi All

As I reported recently I wrote to a contact I have in regard to this thread.

Part of what I said was .

 /*PLEASE DO* follow up on this - I think it is _VERY_ important for many
 users and some 'Official' Feedback' is VERY necessary. There are lots of
 very important points made in this thread!!! /

He has just replied...

 /Thanks for your mail!

 The question is what the Steering Committee should do about this. What 
 I would recommend is that one of the affected users either writes to 
 the Developer Mailing List, or files a bug report.

 Is this something that could help?

This is NOT quite the reply I was hoping for. Is it worth passing this 
onto the Devs Mail List - I have a feeling somebody already did this.

Base is working for me at the moment - sort of!! - but I would LOVE to 
see it sorted out!! I want to try the change to an early version of 
Java to see if that helps me or not at some time.

Until then it looks as if we are all stuck with Base as it is!!

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Changing data in a MySQL-table using Base 

Hello,
Under LO 3.4.2, when I try to change a value in a table I get back the message
no data changed. I then have to revert data entry, upon which the original
value is displayed. I am using BASE with ODBC under Debian/Wheezy. How do I
report a bug?
Thanks for attending to this problem.
Regards
H.S.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

2011-07-22 Thread Tony Royston
Andrew,

Thanks for your reply.  The images are embedded and not in a frame.  The 
anchoring used is whatever is default, I didn't select anything specific.

I shall try altering the anchoring, and using a frame, and see what happens.

Regards,

Tony.

Interesting. Historically, I had to remove pictures from text frames 
before they would export (so I stopped placing images in text boxes if I 
had to later convert to an MSO file format).

John, I take your comment to say that this should work (image in a 
frame) if the text frame is not visible.

Tony,

are your images embedded in the document, or are they inserted as links?

How are the images anchored? I always anchor AS CHARACTER when I want to 
export to an MSO format

Are the images in a text frame? If yes, what happens if you have an 
image that is NOT in a text frame?

RE: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

2011-07-22 Thread Tony Royston
Thanks John, I will try that.

So, no real difference from 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 then?  OK, so I wouldn't expect too 
many changes, but the odd bug fix would be nice!!

Tony.

Tony

Just downloaded 3.4.2 from Filehippo, tested and at this moment cannot 
find any bug fixes from 3.4.1.

However, the disappearing pics still happens in this version for saving 
in  .docx format

Now, I know some people are not keen on this work around, but if you 
paste your picture into a text box (Insertframe), it works. You have to 
remove the box borders so that the text box does not show *and* they 
will stop the pictures moving around.

 Hi

   I suggest you to do this:

 1) Save the original document (.docx) as .odt
 2) Look if .odt document is correct
 3) If it is correct save .odt document as .docx
 4) Look if it is correct.

 Regards,

 Jorge Rodríguez

 Hi :)
 Can you try saving as Doc instead of DocX?  The older format often produces 
 much
 better results.

 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

 Hi everyone,

 I have a Writer question.  I am using 3.4.1 on Vista, and I successfully 
 opened
 a docx file containing text and photos.  I did some minor text editing, then
 saved the document with a new filename but still as a docx.  When I opened 
 that
 file, the images had disappeared!

 Any ideas?  It's not a disaster as I still have the original document, but I
 would like to be able to save images with docx!

 Thanks,

 Tony Royston.
