[libreoffice-users] Configuring LO

[Malcolm Moore]

One of the things I hate about LO is by default it looks awful ( my opinion )
How can I configure it ( on Linux and Windows ) so that all users get the same 
appearance
without them having to do anything but then can over ride it if they think
my taste sucks ;-)

If there is a guide someone can point me to I would appreciate it

[libreoffice-users] How to prevent Impress from changing font size?

[Malcolm Jaros]

Using Impress Version: 6.0.7.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when I add to text in a 
slide the font size automatically reduces to keep the text within the text box. 
Can I prevent this auto resizing of the font? 
If so, how do I do this?

I am using "Version: 6.1.5.2 (x64)". Supposedly, you can force font 
substitution. I have not tried it.

Choose *Tools - Options'* /- LibreOffice - Fonts'   From: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Fonts/

You must click in the box next to "Apply replacement table" before you 
can select the substitute fonts.

Hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Draw changes font when opening pdf text file.

[Malcolm Jaros]

It occurs to me that Draw does not recognise, or does not have, the font used 
for the original document and substitutes one that it does have.
My problem is that the original, serif, font is being substituted by a 
monopitch font.

Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt letter

[Malcolm Jaros]

Just a thought. Ubuntu 18.10 is a new distro and less thoroughly tested than 
the LTS version 18.04.
If you do not get this problem in 18.04 perhaps you should stay with that for a 
while.

I had a problem similar to this on windows 98, after I installed a legal
copy of word perfect and all 1100 fonts it came with.  Apparently windows
98 had a limit of about 500 fonts ... and above that it would get confused
after a while.

However,  more recently I used Ubuntu studio 12, which ships with about
1200 fonts,  and ported those to wasta 14 and 16 en mass. I had no issues.
I haven't ported this many to wasta 18 yet.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Two formulas in one cell?

[Malcolm Jaros]

That is an impressive solution from Michael but, not knowing the layout of your 
spreadsheet, I wonder why you cannot simply insert a new column adjacent to the 
cell in question so that each formula can be in a separate cell.

Would be nice if you could put actually wanting with examples.


You can get the formating you need using the text command, and you can 
see the diffiernt format option using the cell format, and it shows examples of 
the format code. Just picked a longer one for the date format. Then just a

regular number format used for the second.

Concatenate works...to a point.


Another problem is that first formula must provide a result formatted as
a date, let's say June 2.The second formula must provide a result as a
day-number-of-the-year (which I haven't figured out how to do yet).
Using concatenate the result is a 5 digit number returned for the first
formula even though the cell is formatted as a  D.


How can these format requirements be maintained?


Thanks,

The answer to this question is very similar to that for the almost
identical question that you asked (and had answered) last November 21st:
http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Formula-and-text-in-same-cell-td4227487.html
.


If a cell contains a formula, the result of that formula is what
appears in the cell, so having two formulae would be simply
contradicting yourself. As you already know, if you wanted F30-2 you
would not expect to use =F30 and then =-2 separately but instead
=F30-2. In the same way, you must construct a single formula that
creates the combination of values that you ask for. You can combine
results using the CONCATENATE() function or, more simply, the
operator.Try:
=F30-260;A10+4


Incidentally, do please put your name in the real name field of your
mail messages: it's an elementary courtesy to those offering to help you.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Why is LibreOffice so susceptible to config errors

[malcolm moore]

Why is LibreOffice so susceptible to config errors. We have about 3 or 4 
students a day

coming to us because LibreOffice won't start. Deleting ~/.config/libreoffice 
always does 

the trick but it's an enormous pain.




Is there anything I can do, bear in mind these are students so they will just 
log out

or turn the machine off with LibreOffice running no matter what I say !




Each machine is used by up to a dozen students each day. Which when you multiply

500 machines by 1300 students, 3 or 4 hangs a day doesn't seem that much but 
it's

what people remember about LO

[libreoffice-users] Making LO look nice

[Malcolm Moore]

I have installed LO5.1.2 on openSUSE Leap ( Plasma)  and the only way I can 
get it to look nice is to set my widget type to GTK+ Any thing else and the 
icons in the 'View' menu look terrible ( Most are light blue and seem to be 
some sort of default icon )


If I use the KDE4 extensions LO doesn't seem to follow most of the icon themes
and looks terrible in everything except when I use GTK+
If I use the Gnome extensions Adwaita looks pretty nice but the 'on off' icons 
( like
'view/status bar ' ) don't change
If I have neither it looks like it was written in the 1980's !!


Can someone suggest some combination that looks beautiful !  :-)

[libreoffice-users] Question on bugs

[Malcolm Moore]

 
This has always puzzled me :-

Why does LO list bugs by 'earliest version affected' ?
If you look at the bug list for 5.1 for example, it shows
119 bugs.  There are a number of bugs that 5.1 has 
that don't show on the list as they are recorded as affecting
earlier versions. Why would anyone working on 5.1 look
for a bug that is down as affecting 4.1 or something.
An issue that came up the other day in both 5.0.4 and 5.1RC2
is actually first recorded as affecting 4.4.0 which by their
roadmap went end of life in the middle of last year.

The error comes up before you have really had a chance to enter any data
If you enter the first row and then start entering data in the second row the 
error pops as soon as the cursor goes to the first field in the second row.

Hi :) 
I am not sure about the SQL error code and haven't even looked it up 
yet.  However it does sound like a quite small database that shouldn't 
be having any trouble with memory. 
 
As a quick first try maybe radically increasing the default settings 
in LibreOffice might help. 
Tools - Options - Memory 
The defaults are all for MUCH lower spec machines so you can easily 
allow LibreOffice to use much larger amounts of Ram.  Hmm, all the 
settings seem to be about graphics and objects so i'm not sure it 
would help.  I think it's still worth a try though. 
 
Regards from 
Tom :)

What paper size is your printer able to print on? Has hit got A3? Can it 
print A4 borderless?

For to enable the printer settings you need to check the options "Use 
only paper tray from printer preferences" and "Use only size form 
printer preferences" in the tab "Options".

Kind regards

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in Impress

[Malcolm Moore]

Eventually the penny dropped, sorry for being thick !
This is outstandingly horrible !


My summary for anyone in the same boat suffering from brain failure at the end 
of the week:


You have to go to 'Tools/Options/LibreOffice Impress/Print
Make sure Paper tray from printer settings is unchecked


Then 'File/Print' ( at this point the Print/Properties are wrong and greyed out 
)
Then 'Options' and check 'Use only paper tray from printer preferences' and 
'Use only paper size from printer preferences'
Then go back to 'General' select the printer and go to 'Properties' ( If you 
don't do this now it forgets the previous step )
The paper size and orientation are now available to change
Then OK


It will then work for the duration of the session as A3 and Landscape are now 
selected ( but greyed out again )
Once you save it and open it again you have to start from the beginning.

As Regina said, you also need to set 'use only paper /size/ from...' as 
well. Otherwise I see the same symptom (landscape, and size locked to A4).

BTW, Impress seems to pick its size differently from Draw, which chooses 
a more useful default of A3 for an A3 drawing.

Haven't we only just been here? :-) :-) :-)  I suggest again that the 
Print dialogue could use some improvement in this area.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in Impress

[Malcolm Moore]

I stand corrected :-) but the fun continues...


If you set it up, save it and reopen it, you are correct
it does save the printer settings but then select 
another identical printer from your list of printers it goes 
back to A4 for that printer . If then you go 'oops, my mistake' 
and go back to the original printer that has gone back to A4 
again. At that point if you cancel out and do file print again
on the original printer it's back to A3.


Are there bugs posted for this - this seems almost designed
to be a monumental pain in the behind ? 


Best wishes

Not correct AFAICS. Unfortunately, changing print properties doesn't 
seem to mark the file as needs-to-be-saved, so ^S does nothing (and 
File|Save is greyed out). However, if the print stuff is set up, and 
then a substantive change is made followed by a save, the print info is 
saved as well. But if you need to change it again, you have to go 
through the whole procedure again.

At least it seems that way after a quick experiment.

[libreoffice-users] Printing in Impress

[Malcolm Moore]

If I create a presentation in Impress and set the 
page size to A3 landscape, how do I print it ?


It always comes out  ( partly on ) A4 and the 
dropdown to change the paper size in the print 
dialog is greyed out at A4


In the end I PDF'ed it and printed it out that way 
but that's less than elegant !


LO 5.0.2 openSuse BTW

Word count updates automatically whatever - if you highlight the text on

of words on that page

[libreoffice-users] LO 5 menu drop downs

[Malcolm Moore]

On openSuse 13.2 with KDE the menu dropdowns don't have a 
shadowed border like the do on Windows. Functionally it doesn't
matter but aesthetically a white dropdown going over the white 
page looks a bit naff. I have tried it with and without the KDE add-on.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Impress doesn't print in colour

[Malcolm Moore]

I have solved this one... but to make the story more interestinghere is the 
series of event and I swear it isn't an April fools joke.
LO printing to a Ricoh MPC5502 - I discovered that it's not justImpress and 
that any LO application had this problem it's just thatin Impress you tend to 
print larger.
Printing in colour up to 36 points works fine. When you print at 40 pointsthe 
lower case letter are colour but all the capital letters come out as greyscale. 
So, OK, I thought I'll fiddle with the settings so I changed the resolution to 
1200 dpi. Now all the capitals come out in colour but the lower case are in 
greyscale. 
Over 40 point it all comes out as greyscale
After thinking I was going mad, the answer is that the PXL driver is thecause 
and the PS one works perfectly.   
Cool problem eh

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems between LO and CUPS

LO   connects to CUPS on start not when you want to print   So if you 
have LO open for a while the connection to CUPS    will time out. You need 
to set your CUPS timeout short enough    so that it will time out 
eventually but long enough so that    CUPS doesn't drop the connection in 
normal use.

 Uninstall either hunspell-XX (or myspell-XX) package, or hunspell
 library packages entirely.




Why do you want them to be removed?
That is the real question.


If it is a Linux system package, then I would use the Synaptic Package
Manager [best one I use for Ubuntu 12.04] or whatever package manager or
software manager your Linux system prefers to use.

 You probably want to use a frame instead of a table.  On the Type tab
 of the Frame dialogue, remove the tick from AutoSize: then the frame
 will - as you wish - not expand to accommodate its contents.  If
 necessary, you can create your one-cell table inside the frame, but
 I'm not sure why you would need to do this.
 
 I trust this helps.
 
 Brian Barker
Yes, but I already have a document that I inherited with tables not frames
:-(

The default setting on the CUPS server is 'Auto' paper tray and 
'Plain/Recycled' paper
Everyone else gets this but I fiddled now I can't get rid of the 'Bypass' and 
Thick 3 settings
LO seems to remember it somewhere. If I set it back to what it should be when I
reopen Writer or Calc etc and try and print it's gone back to Bypass and Thick 3


I can't remember what I did to set it to Bypass etc but now I can't get rid of 
it

   I tried removed ~/.config/libreoffice and that doesn't work
  
  LibreOffice typically does this in the page styles.
  Format  Page opens the settings for the page style used in the current

  When the setting is changed for all your new documents, then you may

[libreoffice-users] Macros don't run

[Malcolm Moore]

If you have a macro assigned to a button in calc where there is only one sheet 
it works
If calc has lots of sheets the macro doesn't run. Do I need to tell the macro 
which sheet 
it should be running on somehow

Which icons? The launcher icons or the toolbar icons?

I'm not on my opensuse machine now, but I think they package some of the
toolbar icon themes separately.

There are also launcher icons in some sets on sites like gnome-look, but as
I'm just finding then they don't seem to be applied once the app opens.

I think this is a bug that has already been reported.  If you find the 
bug-report than please add a helpful comment.  I think people have suggested 
using a link from the slide to a video that is not embedded in the document.

If FDF means editable PDF,  then it should be enough to put widgets from
the form toolbar into a writer document. Then export it in PDF.

Hope to have understood and given a correct answer.

  Have you looked at this page?

  Under the section called:

  They talk about decompressing the file and then:
  
  quote:

  su rpm -Uvh *.rpm
  
  unquote:
  
  Then the page describes the installation of the desktop-integration file.
  
  I am not a user of a RPM installs, since I use Ubuntu.  Yet, I find that 
  the instructions on this page works well for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print

[Malcolm Moore]

I am now convinced that this is bug 50784 If I change the client timeout
on the CUPS server the amount of time it takes before LO stops printing
exactly matches. In the end I have made my timeout 5400 which is 90
mins which since we are a school is OK. It's a bit of a nasty hack but
it seems to work.

 As far as I can see the CUPS server never saw the print job.
 It doesn't matter which printer they use ( students have 12

 If you have two copies of LO open you have to close them both

When it stops printing going to File/Printer Settings

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print

Some more experimentation led me to believe it's not random,
it's time related  I am now minded to believe it's bug 50784
which is posted against version 3.5.2

I will investigate more tomorrow and if it is as I fear, and the bug 
continues into 3.5.4 and 3.6.1.  I will add a note to that bug report

 This is LO 3.6.1 on openSuse 12.1. The machines are set to
 print to a single CUPS server.


 As far as I can see the CUPS server never saw the print job.
 It doesn't matter which printer they use ( students have 12
 to choose from ). Once it happens you can't print to any printer
 in the list.


 If you have two copies of LO open you have to close them both
 and re-open them and the document before it will print again.


 Any ideas ?

Are they having problems printing from other programs?

Are all the work stations reporting the problem?

My thoughts are it is:

1. An bug in LO; possibly specific to openSUSE

2. A local bug in openSUSE

3. the print server has a bug

I have not had any random print problems with LO using Linux Mint 13
with a printer directly connected via USB port.

Sometimes renaming the .config/libreoffice/user/3 folder clears up a 
lot
of problems. LO will regenerate a new default folder if it is missing
when starting up.

  Hi. If your at the stage of adding/removing LO. What if you try the 
  opensuse install.
  I just recently updated my 12.1s to 12.2 for a more recent LO from suse. 
  The upgrade option from the DVD worked well (with some bewares).

[libreoffice-users] LO 3.n crashes on copy and paste

[Malcolm Moore]

Maybe I've done something terribly wrong but if our users do a Google search 
for a picture then 
copy and paste the image into LO it hangs.


If there is a post I've missed about this can you point me to it please ... 
else the complete description follows


Start a LO document
Open FF or Chrome 
Search on a picture eg Cats
Google them shows loads of pictures in a grid of biggish thumbnails which when 
you hover over get bigger
Hover over a picture and Copy image
Go to LO and Paste
Picture will now appear in LO
LO will now either run unbelievable slowly of hang completely


If however when you have chosen the image in Google you click on it and go to 
the full size image
you can cut and paste successfully. The method that hangs LO worked in Word and 
I am getting
a lot of grief over this now we have shown Word the door . !

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer Dialogs

I just installed 3.5.3 RC2 and it seems to work fine !!!

I removed everything openSUSE LO related and installed RC2
from LO rather than the suse repos and I seem good to go now.

No doubt you will hear from me some more when I get stuck again
but in the meantime many thanks to everyone :-)

  Can you print out the document as a PDF file?
  When you then use your default PDF viewer, do you have the print options 
  for those different paper options when printing using the PDF viewer?  I 
  cannot get LO to print a document in duplex mode, so I print/export the 
  document to a PDF file and then use my PDF viewer to print it out

  You might need to do something like that as well.

Hi.
  It is something I have never managed to get to the bottom of in more

Hi,


The driver came from http://www.openprinting.org/
They claim this printer works 100% and only LO has 
this problem. All the other apps I have get it right and 
show all the trays and paper options.

I had a look at turboprint and they don't seem to support
Ricoh printers.

[libreoffice-users] Printer Dialogs

[Malcolm Moore]

I wonder if I could revisit this issue again.


I have been experimenting a bit more and 
LibreOffice doesn't show all the options 
the printer has available.


For example:- ( With LO 3.5.n and openSuse 12.1)
In the system printer dialog my Ricoh MPC 5000
has 4 trays and a bypass. In LO it only show the 4 trays


Also it has paper types of Thick, Thick2 and Thick3 for 
different weights of paper. The LO dialog only has Thick
which is a bit of a problem as some types of iron on 
paper we use has to go through the printer at Thick 2 or
Thick 3


If I use something like Gimp or Chrome and print a page it shows all
the options ( 21 types of paper and 5 trays  ) LO only shows
13 types of paper and 4 trays.


Where is LO getting it's information from and why is it wrong
on some printers? ( our old HP 4250's are correct but they are
pretty simple souls at the best of times ) Also, is there some
way to tell LO to get it's information from the system?


Many thanks

[libreoffice-users] Printer properties

[Malcolm Moore]

I understand that LO does it's own printing dialog
which I must admit looks a lot prettier than the system
one ( openSuse ) however it seems to miss stuff. For
example my printer has 4 trays and a bypass tray. The
system dialogs see all of these and I can use them. LO
only sees the 4 trays and doesn't give me the option to
use the bypass tray. Is there some way I can tell it
there is a bypass tray.
