[libreoffice-users] Re: helping Users and LibreOffice - proposal
Hi Cour (none of the following criticisms are directed at you, who are one of the few (only?) members of the SC who sees this project as a productivity tool for the users) I don't know if you are aware that installing LibO 3.4.0 under Windows silently uninstalls 3.3 without asking (even if the installer is run in customized mode). Therefore it is not possible to have both versions installed under Windows. I know this is possible under Linux but this project doesn't care a f*ck about Windows users (even though they are the majority of users, but hey, who cares?) so one can only recommend one version OR the other. Given the degree of regression and bugs added (I totally agree with Tom that 3.4.0 sounds more like a beta-release) and that the developers are not too worried about regressions, in my opinion if someone is using 3.3.2 for work (and believe me: even if the LO site has a disclaimer about 3.4 being experimental, all other download sites/mirrors don't, so expect a LOT of angry users in the near future) I will not recommend 3.4 for anything other than playing around. In my opinion, releasing 3.4.0 as Stable was a major error and a shot on the foot for this project. But the all-mighty Release Schedule as to be met, no matter what comes out of it...

[libreoffice-users] Re: Odt size difference between MS Office 11 and LO 3.3.2
The simple explanation is that the MSO file is missing many ODF features ;) Interestingly both your files fail the ODF validation on this site http://tools.odftoolkit.org/odfvalidator/ Does it make any sense that only when I create an identical file under OOo 3.4 Beta the file is valid? Should LibreOffice worry about this? Is the validator an accurate tool? Shouldn't OASIS be providing such a tool??? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Odt-size-difference-between-MS-Office-11-and-LO-3-3-2-tp2978634p2985444.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: Odt size difference between MS Office 11 and LO 3.3.2
Hi Tom ;) If you re-write the document from scratch using exactly the same formatting in both then i would guess that LibreOffice generates the best and possibly smallest .odt. I did. It is not :) Since the MS ODF is so incomplete it manages to be the smallest. And the OOo file is the second smallest (and in addition, valid!) My only concern here is that TDF makes sure that the ODF files created with LibreOffice are valid. It doesn't make sense otherwise. And since Oracle seems to be dropping the ball on OpenOffice it would make sense to have a validation tool on the TDF or LibreOffice site (I wouldn't wait for OASIS...) MSO's odf is inherently broken apparently (as mentioned fairly often by a variety of people) so it's not really a fair contest. A broken jug in millions of pieces can take up a lot less space than a full jug but it probably can't hold water. TBH I'm glad that MS Office 2007/2010 even has ODF support. Of course they aren't going to make it that good... After all it is in their best interest that you use their proprietary file formats :) Cheers! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Odt-size-difference-between-MS-Office-11-and-LO-3-3-2-tp2978634p2986245.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: Odt size difference between MS Office 11 and LO 3.3.2
But, it is clear that OOo/LO could use some 'fine tuning' in the file size/image compression/conversion area - at least with respect to Impress. If I get time if it is interest to anyone I can just build a 1 slide Impress presentation using the extracted .ppt jpg compare. I've only MS Office 2003 on a virtual machine, so I wouldn't be able to test with anything later in that department. I don't mind doing a comparison if you post a link to the PPS file. But this only has any usefulness if LO developers consider that optimizing the ODF files is an interesting task. Otherwise it's an academical waste of time ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Odt-size-difference-between-MS-Office-11-and-LO-3-3-2-tp2978634p2986509.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Probably the files in the pen are badly fragmented. Since that is a pen (and not a hard disk) the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to defrag is simply to MOVE all contents to a folder in another disk (preferably a HDD) and then move them back. Since files are moved sequentially they will be written in consecutive clusters and therefore defragmented.

[libreoffice-users] Re: lower part of dialog boxes not visible
Hi NoOp You didn't say he was what? It is helpful if you'd quote what you are replying to. Snipping is good, but simply replying without some quote attribution isn't helpful - particularly if someone is sorting through the archives. I didn't snip anything. I simply replied through Nabble, which doesn't quote or append the message I'm replying to. Since it works in Threads my answer was linked to your post http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/lower-part-of-dialog-boxes-not-visible-tt2951830.html#none To answer as I am doing now, I have to use Gmail which for me is not so practical ;) We finally figured out that Thomas is using the 'Medium - 125%' setting in Win7 (Control Panel|All Control Panel Items|Display). There is a warning when setting that in Win7, it states: quote Some items may not fit on your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution /quote Actually many (all?) Asus netbooks use this setting as default. So they will not see that warning :) Did/can you replicate on a netbook? I can't on an HP Mini w/Win7-Starter. If you can, then I agree it would be a good idea for you to file a bug report. Since the extended dialog is well over 500 pixels high I know it won't fit at least on any of the 7 inch netbooks which have a screen resolution of 800x480. On 10 inch netbooks it will depend on the DPI (as you mentioned) but also on the Theme font size Of course LO can't predict all these situations but in this particular case there is a lot of vertical space wasted on the dialog which could be optimized. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/lower-part-of-dialog-boxes-not-visible-tp2951830p2956251.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: lower part of dialog boxes not visible
In the Ubuntu version of LibreOffice, some of the taller dialogs have been rearranged so the bottom half is to the side, so they fit better into a widescreen display such as found on many netbooks and laptops. (PDF Options is an example.) AFAIK, the standard version of LibO (downloaded from the website) does not use this side-by-side layout. Great to know - thanks for sharing ! (I usually work with all kind of betas and test stuff, hardly with default installed versions.) Would be good to have that in the vanilla LibreOffice too, IMO That is really interesting. It shows that Ubuntu has people concerned and working on usability. Since that is a modification of the open source code (and since Canonical IS a LO Supporter) shouldn't these modifications be contributed back to the source repository (or whatever the name is) in the spirit of Open Source Software (maybe it is and it's not incorporated?) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/lower-part-of-dialog-boxes-not-visible-tp2951830p2956267.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc trumps Excel
T.R. Valentine When you open a tab delimited file in Excel it automatically recognizes the data types. Therefore your string e.g. 2011-02-26 10:23:47 is correctly interpreted as a value. Therefore it is natural that using FIND, VALUE, LEFT or any other functions would not work. As I said in the previous post you need to use other functions. LibO and OOo don't have any problem with tab delimited files. The only difference is that you can not Open a tab delimited file (otherwise it is loaded in Writer). You need to Insert, Sheet from File. Luuk Indeed there is a lot of work... I just found another bug: typing =now() in a cell shows the value instead of a date (of course you can format it yourself...) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-trumps-Excel-tp2573005p2581181.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc trumps Excel
That doesn't make any sense, does it? The format of the values depends on the width of the cell??? There are only two logical options: 1) the cell width is automatically adjusted to show the whole data (as Excel does) or 2) the data is correctly formatted (in this case in the DATE TIME format) and only part is shown (depending on the width of the column). The user must manually adjust the column width. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-trumps-Excel-tp2573005p2581281.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

[libreoffice-users] Re: Missing function: Bankers Rounding
What I meant was: if the original numbers have a mixed number of decimal cases you can't apply my solution because of the base 2 calculations. But I assume that in a table you don't have values with 3 decimal cases mixed with one decimal case? Therefore you could go from 4 decimal cases to 1 in 3 steps using my method... In any case, the short answer is: there isn't such a round function in any of the 3 spreadsheets. Apparently the round() function in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) does a bankers' rounding. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel.charting/msg/107fce6145b70d69?pli=1 Hope this helps -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Missing-function-Bankers-Rounding-tp2530641p2533054.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
[libreoffice-users] Re: Missing function: Bankers Rounding
I had never heard of bankers rounding before. Interesting concept. There is no such function in OOo/LO, Excel or Gnumeric... But you can easily create a function =IF(A1-INT(A1)=0.5;IF(ISEVEN(INT(A1));A1-0.5;A1+0.5);ROUND(A1)) (Adjust if your separator is a comma instead of a semi-colon) What this does is check if the fractional part is 0.5 and adds 0.5 to the number if the integer is odd and subtracts if it is even. If it is not 0.5 then it uses the regular Round() function ;) Hope this helps! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Missing-function-Bankers-Rounding-tp2530641p2530764.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

[libreoffice-users] Re: Open pps as ppt
There is indeed a bug (or at least a different behaviour from MS Office and OOo) with .pps files If a user double clicks or opens with a pps file with MS Powerpoint or LO Impress it is supposed to autostart the presentation. However if you open Powerpoint and use File Open to open the pps file it does so in Edit mode. OOo Impress does the same LO Impress does not. Opening a pps file immediately enters presentation mode and pressing Esc to stop, exits LO Impress. It is arguable to say that this is a bug. But it is not the expected behaviour.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc
I have four comments on relative paths in OOo/LO: 1) It doesn't work. I changed to relative paths, created a new file with a relative path, moved both files (source and reference) to another drive and it kept looking for the file in the original location 2) It doesn't make any sense to save a path as relative and show it as absolute 3) It doesn't make sense that the option is called Save URLs relative to file system. I consider myself an advanced user and I would never consider that this option refers to the location of files my PC. URLs are usually associated (maybe incorrectly) with resources on the web. In any case it's not an obvious name. 4) It doesn't make any sense that the OOo/LO default is the opposite of what users are expecting.

Actually it depends on your Language Settings. And LibreOffice inherited the problems from OpenOffice... E.g. for Portuguese (European) the decimal separator is a comma(,) but if I prefer to use a point (because most international publications are formatted according to US notation) when I disable the box Same as locale setting it will type the point and as soon as I press enter it will convert it to a date. This is a clear mistake since a point is not a separator in Portugal... i.e. typing 2.3 is converted to 02-03-2010 which is value 40239 -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/sum-function-in-libreoffice-calc-doesn-t-seem-to-work-tp1839208p1843520.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
