1. Right mouse click on the list box, choose control 2. On the 'General' Tab, choose List entries. 3. type your first entry BUT press Shift+Enter to make non-breaking space for the 2nd entry 4. repeat as necessary. 5. Choose File>Export as PDF. 6. Select the 'Create PDF Form' option. I left the Submit format as 'FDF', & it worked in qpdfview, prompting me to save when I exited.

[libreoffice-users] Re: updating a bookmark using a basic macro
I half-remember coming across something like this before: From section 14.11.1 Bookmarks in Andrew Pitonyaks OpenOffice Macros Explained (http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.pdf): /A bookmark is text content that is accessible based on its name. A bookmark may encompass a text range or a single point. Listing 371 inserts text content at the point where a bookmark is anchored. Use the getString() object method to obtain the string contained in the bookmark. Use setString() to set the string contained in the bookmark. If the bookmark is merely a point, the text is merely inserted before the bookmark. When a created bookmark is inserted into the text, the insertion point determines the bookmarkâs anchor position./ - Manjaro 8.13 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 64bit : LibreOffice: 4.1 4.2.7.1, 4.4.5, 5.0 -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/updating-a-bookmark-using-a-basic-macro-tp4168303p4168643.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] BASIC, Writer Table Cell Selection: Numbering/Bullets interfere with TextTableCursor
Hello, I'm trying to return a cell range for some cells selected in a Writer text table. From what I've read in Andrew Pitonyak's documentation, the method getRangeName() from a TextTableCursor seems to be the way to do it. However oSels.supportsService(com.sun.star.text.TextTableCursor) returns FALSE if the cells selected contain numbering or bullets. If I switch the numbering off the same selected cells return TRUE I can use getRangeName(). Is this behaviour inconsistent (i.e a bug) or am I missing something? I've repeated this in LO4.1, 4.4.5, 5.0, 5.0.1RC1 Linux x86_64 example document containing macro and steps to reproduce: http://www.mediafire.com/view/0q0sdy9kdtyncky/Selected.Table.Cells.odt here is the pertinent code from the document above: Dim i As Integer : Dim sTextTableCursor$ sTextTableCursor$ = com.sun.star.text.TextTableCursor oSels = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getSelection() If Not oSels.supportsService(sTextTableCursor) Then Msgbox Please make a selection of cells!, MB_OK + MB_ICONSTOP ElseIf oSels.supportsService(sTextTableCursor) Then REM At least one entire cell is selected If validSelection(oSels.getRangeName()) Then tempStr = Good, the selection is more than 1 cell! Else tempStr = The selection needs to be more than 1 cell! End If Msgbox We've got a selection in a table!
