Re: [libreoffice-users] which version has the best legacy importing?
OK everyone, I received the USB floppy from China, today. The files are .sig which might be something like Printshop or other software that was out there in October 2005 when the files were made. There is a cover.sig, p1 - p13.sig, and a toc.sig file names. Right now I have them on my Linux desktop, but will need some conversion or viewer for Ubuntu/Mint or Windows 7. Any ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] which version has the best legacy importing?
A quick Google search indicates that your suggestion of PrintShop may be close to the mark. It seems that the files are probably image files and not word-processing files.

Re: [libreoffice-users] WHICH VERSION OF ORACLE REPORT BUILDER IS COMPATIBLE WITH LIBRE OFFICE BASE 3
Greetings, I am using LO 3.6.7.2 under Linux, which has Report Builder (Oracle?) version 1.2.3 built in. Go into your LO Extensions manager (Tools - Extension Manager) and look for the report builder installed. The last time I checked, Report Builder 1.2.3 was the latest version. I am also using MySQL 5.5.36 and mysql-connector-java 5.1.18 with Base. The built-in report builder works well for me. It is much faster than previous versions, so the devs must have fixed some bugs. However, for large databases it can still be a bit slow creating a report. Just have patience and it will eventually complete. HTH.

Re: [libreoffice-users] WHICH VERSION OF ORACLE REPORT BUILDER IS COMPATIBLE WITH LIBRE OFFICE BASE 3
Hi :) Errr, do you know which version? Is it 3.6.6? 3.5.7? If you open LibreOffice and click on the Help menu and go to About (at the bottom usually) then that should tell you which version. LibreOffice itself can be used to generate reports. Either in Base itself or by using Writer or Calc. Writer or Calc means the normal users of the reports are in a more familiar environment and able to use familiar tools. Just connect the database to the document using Edit - Exchange database errr, not an ideal choice of menu heading because it doesn't mean MS Exchange!! So, do you really need to use Oracle Report Builder? Also are you using Base to connect to an external back-end such as MySql, Postgresql, Sqlite or are all the tables in Base built up in Base itself? As a side note. When using mailing lists and forums please try to use lower-case, or better still sentence-case, rather than all capital letters. All capitals looks like shouting (or sometimes emphasis) so it's good for military and architectural drawings but not so good for normal conversation. Many places consider it rude but it also means that when you DO want to emphasis something it's difficult to find a way to do so.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Which version?
2010/11/23 Ivan Stephen sip...@vaxxine.com: I downloaded LibreOffice 3.3.0, but it won't open on my Mac. I have OS 10.4.11 on PPC (PowerPC chip). Which is the latest version which will work, and from where could I download it? Thanks. Hello, Looking a bit deeper into the tdf website, I found the Mac PPC version here: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta3/mac/ppc/ Third on the list is the US version, if you want the dialogs in another language, download the corresponding language pack too, then install the program, then the pack.

[libreoffice-users] Which version?
I downloaded LibreOffice 3.3.0, but it won't open on my Mac. I have OS 10.4.11 on PPC (PowerPC chip). Which is the latest version which will work, and from where could I download it? Thanks.
