[libreoffice-users] New to Group, and so checking on Browser Plug-in
Trying to use LO 3.4.2 on Win 7 x64 and can't get browser plug-in to work -- been trying to read some of the LO manuals on line, so program/browser seems to fail half-way -- screen gets half-greyed out (with white in other half of window where od should be viewable but nothing to read!) -- thankfully pressing back arrow enables previous page view, where document can be saved easily enough -- not a big issue overall, compared to many others, but a pain none the less. bw to all Russell J Wilson Dunedin, New Zealand -- 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

Hi :) If you open the manuals/guides by doing a right-click and then open in a new tab then you can give it plenty of time to open. The full books take ages to download but the individual chapters should only take a couple of minutes. Where the web-pages normally appear, ie inside the tab, will be grey until the chapter/book has downloaded. Are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?

My question is: Why are you reading them online instead of downloading them? Even though I have 24/7 broadband access, I still prefer download my documents then read the offline. full books takes ages - not for broadband. Most seem to be under 20MB. The graying is something I hate, and is doing this more and more for sites with Firefox [FF 3.6.20 on Ubuntu-64bit] On 08/29/2011 08:35 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) If you open the manuals/guides by doing a right-click and then open in a new tab then you can give it plenty of time to open.

Re: [libreoffice-users] New to Group, and so checking on Browser Plug-in
Hi :) Maybe about 5mins for the full book. On mine it took 15 seconds to reach the grey-out inside the tab and just under 30 seconds to display the Getting Started guide. More than 10secs feels like forever of course. The wiki-page shows the approximate number of pages in each guide http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation which might help you guess at roughly how long each might take. Just out of curiosity which version of java are you using? Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Java The 2.6.0_21 is the best with the _20 and _22 being good 2nd best and the more recent ones, such as _24 and _26, being completely hopeless. I don't think java is the issue here. I just don't know tbh. Are other things taking ages to start-up, such as YouTube videos and stuff? How about other apps? Does it take ages to open-up LibreOffice normally? Is it faster 2nd time, after you close and re-open? Have you cleared private data such as temp folders, history and stuff in FireFox? Have you defragged you system lately? Also, a little while ago, someone was asking about which plug-in to use to make it possible to view documents inside FireFox and i only knew how to do that in GnuLinux, not Windows. In Firefox Tools - Add-ons - Plug-ins do you also have OpenOffice.org Plug in? I tried using that pop-up to do a search in FireFox add-ons to try to find the proper name of the plug-in but couldn't find it listed there. Presumably it's an option given during install? Did you do a Custom install? I was thinking that maybe it's one of the extra files in the download bundle? Luckily i think the person only wanted to know for GnuLinux so we were able to help but it would be good to know for future reference. How long is it taking to reach the grey-out stage? God luck, thanks and regards from Tom :) From: Dave Barton d...@tasit.net To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tue, 30 August, 2011 1:49:39 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] New to Group, and so checking on Browser Plug-in Original Message From: webmaster for Kracked Press Productions webmas...@krackedpress.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:21:04 -0400 On 08/29/2011 07:35 PM, Dave Barton wrote: Original Message From: Tom Daviestomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:35:05 +0100 Hi :) If you open the manuals/guides by doing a right-click and then open in a new tab then you can give it plenty of time to open.
