That is what I was doing, and nothing looked wrong.

So far, going through the PDF, the errors have been because the office suite was using the wrong version of the template. Changing that fixes the errors. ### On 4/17/2014 12:46 AM, Tom Davies wrote: I'd rather deal with Microsoft's bug reporting system for non-paying customers. Do they have one? Yes. It is a very small (¿3?, ¿?4? person) team that looks at one or bugs per year. They pick bugs from any software that Microsoft distributes. If your bug is selected, they take your computer equipment for the duration of the bug fixing --- which ranges from six to twenty-four months. The upside is that the bug does get fixed, and ported into all relevant software updates. I don't remember any more details about the unit. jonathon -- 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

Hi :) Perhaps skim-read? Perhaps zoom out so that you get multiple pages on-screen and just race through to see if anything stands out as being horribly worng? Go into more depth later?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Retrofitting a template to a document
I think that you want an extension called template-changer that allows you to set the document's template. A quick internet search showed this as one link to it http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/template-changer Same template will likely work for AOO or LO.

Last I checked, the text IO routines in their C++ libraries had bugs that I first had to create work arounds for ten years earlier. And I pay them over $1000 a year to use their compilers and such with an MSDN license. When I think of companies that are responsive to bugs, MS is pretty low on the list. Last time I called MS Support, they wanted a credit card to discuss with me if a new version of the software provided a fix for a limitation in the older version of a product that I was using. That was back in the early 90's. My only other interaction with MS support has been reactivating operating systems when they decided that the OS installed on the machine was pirated and I had to reactive the OS. Only had to do that three or four times in the last 10 years. Annoying as all get out when it happens though. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- 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] Retrofitting a template to a document
All: In trying out various allegedly ODF compatible office suites, I discovered that one of them stripped template data from the file. Can somebody point me to an easy way to add the source template data back to the file? jonathon -- 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
