Re: [libreoffice-users] saving a calc spreadsheet as template with its functions?
Tom Davies writes: > Hi :) > I just click on the save button or on; > > File - Save As > > Job done. To clarify ... I have a spreadsheet of 5 tabs called 'word-count-antonine.ods' which I would like to use as a word-count template for future books that I intend to write. WCA starts at Saturday July 28 2018 with initial word counts which are then updated manually whenever I do more writing. I would like to have this as a template with blank cells except they have kept the functions from the original spreadsheet, so that I can start with a new date and work onwards from there and show exactly the same information as in my original spreadsheet, but the new one is now named for another project. I have saved the WCA spreadsheet as a template, but it is still showing exactly the same information in each cell as the original one was, whereas I was hoping that the functions would remain but the cells appear blank. Does my original question make sense now please? Thanks Sharon. > I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it that someone using Microsoft Office > can't see the file you have created?

[libreoffice-users] auto-spell checking not working on a fresh install.
On a fresh install of libreoffice 4.0.3.3 on Debian 7, its lost the ability to check my spelling as I type. I've looked at all the tick boxes that seem relevant but it seems to be turned on but not working. This particular download of libreoffice worked on an upgrade from the previous version on Debian 7 before I re-installed, so I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone advise and help get it working properly please?

[libreoffice-users] To the moderators
At 1253 today I sent a email to the list under the heading of ' auto-spell checking not working on a fresh install.' asking for help with Libreoffice 4.0.3.3. This appears to have been removed from the main mailing list with no reason given. Why please? It was a genuine request for help with an ongoing problem that I have. I look forward to your reply.

[libreoffice-users] 3.6.4.3 and Wheezy.
I've just installed LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 onto Debian Wheezy [aka testing] and it works but keeps the Debian LibreOffice as well. This is the error report when trying to install 'desktop-integration' ## dpkg -i /home/boztu/programmes/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package libreoffice-debian-menus. dpkg: regarding .../libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb containing libreoffice-debian-menus: libreoffice-debian-menus conflicts with libreoffice-bundled libreoffice-core provides libreoffice-bundled and is present and installed. dpkg: error processing /home/boztu/programmes/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libreoffice-debian-menus Errors were encountered while processing: /home/boztu/programmes/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb This means that there are no menu items for it and so have to be created using 'alacarte' with the shortcuts going to /opt/libreoffice3.6/program/swriter , but then it works like a charm! :) However, i have not needed to update the Debian LibreOffice yet so I’m unsure what will happen then. This is more of an update with regard to the next version of Debian which is currently in testing, and may well be released as 'stable' in quarter 1 of 2013, but that’s just my guesstimate.

Re: [libreoffice-users] lo 3.5.5
Thanks Jay, I was able to completely remove it with synaptic, which I've never used before. However, on re installation, properly this time, I've only got menu shortcuts for calc, impress, and printer administration, so there appears to be some bug still in the debian-menus-desktop-integration which is not populating the menu properly in squeeze. However, its now up and running nicely, thanks. Sharon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] libreoffice 3.5.3
Tom. I have 28gbs spare on the hard drive, and that includes the trash can which has a few things in it yet to be deleted fully. Its all one big partition, / and /home all together so there is not an overfilled drive. If someone can tell me where to find my libreoffice profile then I'll delete it because thats where the problem lies I think. If it can be run as root or sudo but not as /user then that sounds like the users profile is corrupted somehow. So if some kind soul can point it out to me then i'll delete it. And I still haven't got any menu items for it. Other than that , if it still doesn’t work then its back to 3.5.2 for me as I need it for various things and its got to work, and that version does work. Thanks Sharon.

[libreoffice-users] SOLVED- lack of recent documents
I renamed the /libreoffice folder as already suggested, which made no difference except when I restarted libreoffice all my setup was still the same. But when checking my paths I noticed that several items had config files under /.config, so I looked in there and found a ./config/libreoffice folder. So I renamed that too and restarted libreoffice, and then had to setup my paths again, and on checking, my 'recent documents' menu entry works. Brilliant! Thanks to all those who responded, both my showstoppers have now been sorted out, lovely jubbly!

[libreoffice-users] lack of recent documents
I've just installed LibreOffice 3.5.1 and autospellcheck is working well, but I have no documents appearing in the 'Recent documents' box. Does anyone know how to get it working please? I tried installing the 'HistoryMaster' extension to see if that would improve things, but all it did was to slow down all menu operations, which when i'd uninstalled it they recovered their original speed. So I would say that the HistoryMaster extension is not compatible with 3.5.1 Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk/taste/index.html efever = http://www.efever.blogspot.com/ efever = http://sharon04.livejournal.com/ Debian 6,0.4, Gnome 1:2.30+7, LibreOffice 3.5.1 Registered Linux user 334501 -- 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] Downgrading
I have downgraded my LO program from 3.5.0 to 3.4.5, as the lack of autospellcheck and recent documents in 3.5.0 were real show stoppers, and not being able to find any workarounds. I feel that 3.5.0 was released either with inadequate testing, or before it was ready for release. No matter, its no longer a problem for me. Thank you for the experience, and all those who suggested workarounds.

[libreoffice-users] Gmail
Does this mailing list have an aversion to gmail?

In the Language part of the dialog, there is a drop down list. It should contain English (GB) which is what you should select. It probably has USA instead. If I'm right change the value.
