I am creating a document that has 18 pages of front matter, after which I want to start page numbering (I don't need numbers on the front matter). I want page 19 to be numbered page 1. OK, I figured out that the footer is turned on in the page style. That's cool, because I want a left and right page style anyway. I modified the default left and right page styles to turn on the footer. Then I applied the right page style to page 19 and the left page style to page 20, after which I noticed that Writer had thoughtfully applied right and left page styles to all the remaining pages in the document. Cool. Unfortunately, Writer also applied right and left page styles to the first 18 pages also, so they now have the footer on them as well. I don't want the footer on the first 18 pages. So I applied Default page style to the first page, after which I noted that Writer had thoughtfully applied default to page 2, and 3, and 4 ... and continuing to the end of the document. No! I want only pages 1 - 18 to have the Default page style. So I went to page 19 and reapplied right page, and to page 20 and applied left page, and again Writer applied them to the first 18 pages as well. After some poking around I discovered that is controlled by the Organizer tab, where you stipulate the following style. Unfortunately, the selection is a drop-down that contains only the styles that currently exist. You must choose one of them. There is no None of the above option. Whatever you select, as soon as you apply that page style to a page the style specified in the Organizer for the next page will automatically be applied to the end of the document. What this boils down to is that all the pages in your document must always be the same style. Should I just give up on Writer for this project? -- 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 -- 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

Re: [libreoffice-users] was: LWP documents
very well said. On 28 January 2012 20:44, webmaster for Kracked Press Productions webmas...@krackedpress.com wrote: The issue back then was everyone had their own proprietary file format, since there was no common one that could be used by any company, except txt and other formats that did not keep the file's formatting properly. No company would allow you to use their proprietary formats. The there was a movement to create a common file format that everyone could use. In the end, that set of document formats developed into the Open Document Formats. Now any company can use this non-proprietaryset of document formats to create, read, or edit documents created by other companies' packages. Yes, it was total chaos. I remember having to manually edit some document files in a text editor to remove the formatting codes so it could be read by a different word processor, since the facility did not have that package. That worked for some formats, but not others. Now there is one standard ODF, although Microsoft would say it is their formats. Yes MSO formats have dominated the field of what formats are used, but MS did not share its proprietary formats with the competitors. OOo and LO had to reverse-engineer its ability to read MSO formats. MS did try to get its XML based formats [docx and such] made into an International standard, but would not give up control of its development, which is a requirement to make it fully an open standard - no one company can control an open standard, since it would have its development controlled by an international committee of companies and groups of people/users who want to make it better. MS wanted to publish a version of their standard in a way that there would be still proprietary parts to the open standard that required MS products to use them properly. Also they wanted to decide what would be done to that standard without any other company/group having a say. This is a sore subject for some of us, with all of MS's legal [and illegal] behind the scenes politics [and bribery] to make their open formats be THE international standard after the vote decided on ODF as the [one an only] ISO standard for office document formats. Chaos was the past. Greed is what is going on now. The true use of a free open format by most [hopefully all] of the office packages should be our future. LO uses ODF as their default. As changes are proposed and developed, LO should modify its filters/programming to use those modifications of ODF properly in their created/edited documents. LO/TDF is not in control of that format, but can offer up proposals to make it work better in the real world of office use. MS wants every user to use their open formats, but you must use their office package to use it fully and properly. MS does not want to hand over the ability of its competitors to read/write/edit files created with their packages, so that users no longer need to use its office package. That was the way of most of the word processors and office packages in the past. Most of them, excluding MS, have decided that it would be better to go with the international movement and be able to properly read/write/edit a single fully open set of document formats, instead of forcing users to buy their package to read/write/edit files that were created with their packages. It is better to use an ISO set of document formats. Now these office packages will be used if and only if they are determined to be the best/easiest package for the users to get their word done. LO and other FOSS packages include the idea of best to include free in its definition. For many of us, with limited budgets and other issues, choose free over paid packages. Why pay for software when you can legally get software that does the same thing for free? FOSS package creators do not have the must make as much profit attitude as companies like MS does. That attitude is what drove the file format chaos of the early days of desktop computing. Now that that industry has grown out if its childhood years, we need to survive its teenage years. The concept of true openness of the Internet hopefully will make its adulthood a much better place, with less chaos and with a more grown up attitude like what people should teach their children to make them a better adult.

could anybody give me some idea about it?how to use it with libreoffice?
In your command terminal run the commands:
latex myfirstlatexfile.tex
bibtex mybibliography.bib
latex myfirstlatexfile.tex
latex myfirstlatexfile.tex
View the file with the command:
xdvi myfirstlatexfile.dvi
As an example (there are other possibilities depending on your LaTeX
installation), convert to pdf:
dvipdf myfirstlatexfile.dvi
View file in pdf reader (evince or xpdf):
evince myfirstlatexfile.pdf
The example should demonstrate the power of LaTeX; beautiful pdf
output, perfect rendering of maths, automatic formatting of text,
excellent organisation of references.
If you want a structured document containing references, maths and
consistent formatting, use LaTeX. If you want to write a quick
document without the need for maths or references, use a word
processor such as LO. There is no _requirement_ to use LaTeX with LO.
Personally, there does not seem to be a good reason to try and
incorporate LaTeX code into LO, unless LO wants to become a user
interface to LaTeX, like LyX.

However XSLT is not something I can introduce with great confidence at companies as part of a technical documentation workflow and docbook2odf was not the easiest to maintain. The ultimate goal is for people to write basic documents in AsciiDoc, convert them to ODF, PDF or Word documents while applying a style in the process, without having to launch LibreOffice. However LibreOffice could be used to visually fine-tune the styling and using it in future conversions in order to give your documents a common identity (aka. corporate identity). Result: no more messing around with XSLT or XSL-FO, and much more options wrt. styling. The ODF backend for AsciiDoc is located at: https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf and feedback, pull-requests or ideas are very welcome. ...

I have seen over 200 versions of that font. * supposing you have Gnome (if you use KDE let me know), go to System -- Preferences -- Keyboard and choose the tab Disposition (that should be the english name) * click add, choose By Nation, select India, click add again, then close the keyboard preferences window * if it doesn't appear by itself, add a keyboard indicator on the Gnome menu panel -- right clic on the panel, click add to panel and select Keyboard indicator * once you have the keyboard indicator on your panel, select indian layout, then open libreoffice writer * if the keyboard layout has changed... go back to indian again * select sanskrit 2003 font * and finally... write in sanskrit! :) Namastè! or I'd better write... नमस्ते :) -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.** org users%2bh...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/**get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-** unsubscribe/http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/** Netiquette http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.**libreoffice.org/global/users/http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Dr soumalya ray http://drsoumalya.blogspot.com drsouma...@gmail.com MBBS,MD(PGT-C.Medicine),Ex-HousePhysician(Medicine) Skype: som3776 | Twitter: @docbkp http://twitter.com/docbkp -- 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

I've been thinking a lot about this lately as many of my clients are coming to LibreOffice from Microsoft Office and I deal with both packages quite a bit. Many times, one of the first things I do once LibreOffice is set up is to show clients how to save in Microsoft format as opposed to .odf. It's actually one of the first questions they ask. Lately, I've been wondering about the wisdom of an open source package actively supporting a secret format like the Office ones. Would it not be preferable to support *only* saving in the open document format and then providing a plugin for Microsoft Office users who needed it? IMHO, allowing users to save in secret formats just continues the problem. They're still using proprietary software, just packaged a different way. Thoughts?

Also, I've been using Open Office / LibreOffice regularly for 1.5 years now, and I still cannot find how to control bullets and numbering as easily as I could with MS Office.

In general i would say avoid the newer MS formats until they work better in other programs. The older ones are more widely compatible with other programs. The new formats (ending with X) do have the advantage that you can rename the ending to .zip and then open as though they were a normal compressed file.

ok thank you On 4 September 2011 21:05, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi :) Lol. NO. ;) lol. That would give you all my passwords for everything! Ok, the simple one is something like 1. take the website name and reverse it 2. add 1 to each character so that a becomes b, b becomes c etc 3. replace certain letters with special characters where possible, eg L might always be ; (the key next to it or m becomes or something Some sites don't allow special characters so i tend to have a simpler version where letters become numbers for places such as ZdNet. That sort of thing. So just decide on the rules you are going to use and keep that a secret. Then you can generate your password for each site quite easily. The trick is to avoid making your rules tooo complicated! You have to be able to apply it easily without using penpaper or leaving a trace of how you calculated the password.

thank you for the direction.presently i am using the installing_in_parallel guideline(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel).willtry yours. regards On 1 September 2011 08:12, Don Myers donmy...@myersfarm.com wrote: Hi Soumalya Ray and all, I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 1/2 years, and have been through versions 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10, and now 11.04. In my early days with Ubuntu, the only way to get major upgrades to Open Office, Firefox, etc., between versions, was to download them and install them directly. Yes, I know everything is supposed to come from the Ubuntu repository, and for the most part I do that. But not with previously Open Office upgrades, and now with LibreOffice. I've seen posts here saying that the repository versions are better. They are fancier, and tailored to the distribution. But from time to time I've had functionality issues. I've never had any issues with the downloads from Open Office and now LibreOffice. Therefore I follow instructions I found several years ago on the Internet to upgrade Open Office, and that I've modified for LibreOffice. You need to tweak these instructions for each new release of LibreOffice with respect to the the version number and also the menu information. These instructions have worked perfectly for me many times on many computers, all running some version of Ubuntu. But you will be leaving the Ubuntu versions. Here are the directions for LibreOffice 3.4.3 32 bit for Ubuntu, and I would assume other Debian varities: Download the Debian version from The Document Foundation (LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-**deb_en-US.tar.gz) If it was not downloaded to the desktop, move it from the download location to the desktop. Right click on the file and extract this file to the desktop. This will give you a file called LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_**install-deb_en-US/DEBS/ Open a terminal, and enter the following commands: sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_**x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*. **deb sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_**x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/** desktop-integration/**libreoffice3.4-Debian-menus_3.**4-302_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_**x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/** desktop-integration/**libreoffice3.4-Debian-menus_3.**4-302_all.deb CAUTION: I have never run multiple versions on the same computer. These instructions will remove any and all versions presently installed and install 3.4.3 only. In all instances, all of my default settings, such as Java version, have remained in tact. If you are using Unity, you will need to drag the new icons for the new version to the launcher bar.

Finding these old computers and giving then new homes, is another way of volunteering. It is hard to find ones that either work or can be cheaply made to work, with monitors the hardest to find.

Any document with more than one footnote or endnote in a paragraph will crash every time, from what I understand. But to diagnose the bug, you have to Google and Nabble and Bug search on recovery or lock file because you have no idea it is the footnotes causing the crash. In fact, if you only have one document open, it does not even seem like a crash. The only evidence of the crash is that you do not return to the Libre Office main screen, but that would be normal in MS Word, for example. You are left with a lock file, and on restart you have a confusing choice about Recovery - it may actually be best NOT to do the recovery, assuming you saved your file before the crash. So how could people complain about this bug, if they do not know it is caused by footnotes?

interesting behaviour.waiting to listen others' comments On 9 August 2011 12:11, brad brad46...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. I've been running OpenOffice 3.3.0 on my Slackware 12.0 Linux distribution (2.6.28.6 kernel). It's been running fine, except its formatting of Microsoft Word documents doesn't marry with Word itself. I have to run up Word if I want to make totally sure that indented columns line up, lines don't overflow the right margin, etc. And when I open a Word document that I've 'fixed' to look right in Word back in OpenOffice it'll look unaligned, even though in Word itself it isn't. Then, today, I installed LibreOffice 3.4.2 on a Fedora 14 virtual machine, having read a comment that LibreOffice does a much better job of emulating Word. Sure enough, LibreOffice worked perfectly in that virtual machine - rendering documents just like Word. So I promptly went back to my 'real' machine and installed LibreOffice. However LibreOffice is no different! When I open up a document it looks exactly as it used to in OpenOffice (i.e. the text is unaligned, unfaithful to how Word would render it). Also the icons in the various menu bars don't look at all the same between LibreOffice running on my host machine versus how it looks on the Fedora 14 VM. I move the existing OpenOffice installation out of the way (by renaming the /opt/openoffice.org* directories) and did a 'ps' listing to make sure that the executables that I was running were all coming out of /opt/libreoffice3.4. Clicking on the Help/About menu tells me that I'm running LibreOffice 3.4.2. Right now I have no idea what to look at next. I guess something is hanging around in my Slackware host machine that's telling LibreOffice to do the wrong formatting? Is it possible that different versions of shared libraries could cause LibreOffice to look and render quite differently?

At work i set the older MS Office formats as the default by going to Tools - Options - Load/Save - General Then down at the bottom use the 2 drop-downs to set Text document = Microsoft Word (97/2000/XP) Spreadsheet = Microsoft Excel (97/2000/XP) Presentation = Microsoft Powerpoint (97/2000/XP) For the last 2 it's 2 back up the list as 1 back is a template which is well worth avoiding. On the same page about halfway up i tend to change ODF format version right back from 1.2 Extended (recommended) to 1.0/1.1 because MS Office 2010 2007 can just about read those. I don't know why they haven't tried the newer spec, it's not exactly hidden or difficult or anything. I think the 1.2 was not around in 2007. Further down in the Writer section - Compatibility i tick all the boxes just as the extra finesse.

I remember being told that people should never design a site that requires the user to use one browser over another. You must test out your site to make sure it runs on several browsers to make it readable/usable to everyone. That designer must have used software that creates IE specific code results. They still exist, but I sure would not use one. If he/she wrote the form in a specific scripting language, like Javascript, Perl, PHP, etc., then there should be no reason to create an IE specific coding for the form site. Firefox has a large market share, 10-15%. Then there is Mac users. There is about 10%, as I have read, of college users using the Mac. IE only would stop those users from filling out that form, along with the Linux users. This is a problem and the designer should have not caused it. Yes there is an IE simulator add-on for Firefox, but how many people know about it? I forgot about it till it was brought up. I wonder if the designer was a MS fan and did not want any non-MS person to have an easy time filling out this required form? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.** org users%2bh...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/**get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-** unsubscribe/http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/** Netiquette http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.**libreoffice.org/global/users/http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Dr soumalya ray http://drsoumalya.blogspot.com drsouma...@gmail.com MBBS,MD(PGT)C.Medicine,Ex-HousePhysician(Medicine) Skype: som3776 | Twitter: @docbkp http://twitter.com/docbkp -- 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

The if statement format is =if(condition=true,true statement/action,false statement/action). For example column d has the BMI data, a possible if statement is =if(d230,D2,). The execution is to determine if the value in D2 is greater than 30, if true copy the value of D2 into the cell and if false enter nothing. The last is a method so you have a column of numbers and empty cells for functions like sum, average. If you need to reference a cell on another sheet you use this notation sheetname.cell or if you are referencing cell b3 on sheet3, sheet3.b3. and in the formula =if(sheet3.b334,something,something else) If you leave the true action or more commonly the false action, the result in the cell will be TRUE or FALSE. Example, =if(b235,,a2+b2) and =if(b235,a2+b2). In the first example your answer is TRUE or a2+b2 and in the second is a2+b2 or FALSE. The TRUE and FALSE are Boolean values not characters, a common trait in spreadsheets and one that catch new users. If you want a text value you must use true and false (upper case if desired). Note also, in the second example the false clause was omitted but there must be a true clause. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- 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 -- Dr soumalya ray http://drsoumalya.blogspot.com drsouma...@gmail.com MBBS,MD(PGT)C.Medicine,Ex-HousePhysician(Medicine) Skype: som3776 | Twitter: @docbkp http://twitter.com/docbkp -- 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] There goes Open-Source in the White House
this post is getting very interesting On 6 August 2011 17:13, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi :) Yes, hence the use of TCO (=Total Cost of Ownership). Macs usually have a much lower TCO than MS because systems are less prone to malware and need less maintenance. Also they are a status symbol so who cares if it actually works or not? TCO is not just licensing and re-training costs but includes a ton of other factors. Such as time taken to roll it out across a large number of computers along with patches, updates, settings. New or updated Support Contracts or in-house IT Staff training. Of course OpenSource can usually mitigate against the re-training costs by allowing products to be installed alongside existing competing ones allowing migration in a series of steps 1. Old system is kept as default so people can play with the newer one and slowly get used to it. Training for a percentage of staff in rotation. Roll-out can be done over a period of time. Compatibility checks. 2. Newer system is made default but older one is still available, just more difficult to get at. Follow-up training. Again this switch can be staggered across the organisation rather than all-at-once. 3. Older system stops being installed on newer or refurbished machines. Costs will be higher, particularly in the 1st stage which can push people into rushing it which ramps the costs up even more. Imo the 2nd stage is the one worth giving the most time to. The first stage needs a fair fraction of that time just to make sure things will work and that there are enough trained people to help colleagues if there is trouble but it's only at the 2nd stage where people will really take it seriously or even notice it at all. Elected governments are seldom interested in longer term results. They need fast results in order to get re-elected. It's tricky to get a longer-term view without compromising important values. The Uk attempts it reasonably well but it's far from perfect. Anyway the only relevance that sort of thinking has is on how to set-up our own BoD and i think that's better discussed on a different list.

Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com I started this thread saying that with a guy at the helm that was a MS high executive and he would not be the one who would nudge the people under him towards using non-MS packages. Yes, switching from MS Office to LibreOffice will cost time in man hours to learn how to use it instead of MSO. Yes, there will be costs to export all of MSO complex formatted files to version that are 100% readable by non-MS packages. Yes there are a lot of different costs in switching even if the software is free. I agree that having the original software and the new open-source one sitting side by side on the same machine may help. Having all new or refurbished machines include only open-source versions could help. The big issue is to always spend the time and effort to train people in the use of these new options. I did not switch to OOo/LO from MSO over night. As I learned to use open-source versions, over paid ones, I slowly stopped using packages like MSO in favor of the open-source replacements. The final blow to MSO was when I decided to use Ubuntu as my default desktop OS. In the end, if we want our local, regional, or country governments, to use open source we need to voice our support for it. The more people who tell our governments that we want to see them use open-source packages, the more likely that they will hear what we are saying and see if it can be done. If our elected officials do not do what we want them to do, we elect others we think will. As stated before, the issue of long term contracts for MSO and other packages can be a problem. But if and when those contracts are up for renewal, we need to tell our governments to not renew them. If they are not, over time all of these contracts will go away and then there will be none in the way of using open-source alternatives. -- 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 I have been told that the MS has been feasting on the US Government for many years.

I didn't even realize one existed! But after continuing to review posts in this excellent forum and getting a few ideas here and there about how to stabilize my also-frequently-crashing office suite, I became aware of the option in the Tools / Options menu that allows for a backup copy to be saved. Once I found the Paths option and located the hidden subfolders where backups and various other LibreOffice system files are saved, I discovered (to my great joy!) the most recent backed up copy of that trashed file! I thank all the folks that attempted to recover the document and offered suggestions. But in this case, the simplest answer of all seems to have been just overlooked by everyone. It's a complex set of tools and software, so it's not surprising that there is a lot to learn if one wants to become a proficient user. The experience and subsequent follow-up has taught me a lot.
