As the presentation will be given elsewhere I want to use a G4 laptop running osx 10.4.11. Transfering the file fails to work as it fails to include all of the pictures. Any attempt to rebuild on the G4 fails as it says Graphics filter not found on most of the pictures, all jpeg. I can use some other pictures, as a test, but there seems to be no consistency. I am using LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 on the G4 and LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 on the mac mini. As far as I can recall, some of the more recent JPEG formats aren't fully supported on Tiger, I used to use Xee to provide that support for me instead of Preview. These apps provide the background conversion/display libraries for handling those kinds of files, and LO will use system libraries where available.

The Caption entry in the Insert menu is only for creating a new caption - how can I get a similar menu for editing a caption? I'm not sure there is any easy direct method. You can edit the text of a caption in place. You can even edit the headword Drawing to Illustration in place - but this does not modify the associated field, so caption numbering will no longer behave correctly: your new illustration will be numbered as if it were still a drawing. That's your problem, of course. Here's a workaround: o Click in the image to select it: you will see the eight green handles. Make sure you select the image and not the frame that contains the image and its caption. o Cut the image (Edit | Cut or Ctrl+X). o Click the edge of the frame that now contains just the caption to select it. o Press Backspace to delete the frame. o Paste the cut image (Edit | Paste or Ctrl+V). o Now create a new Illustration caption for the new image. o If necessary, press F9 to update the fields to renumber the illustrations automatically. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Workarounds for multiple problems with the legacy Report Designer-Wizard under LO 3.5
Fred, I also want to thank you for an adequate discussion - more of that kind on this mailing list is needed! Let us only hope it will lead to something in practice -- but I am afraid not. May I take part from a slightly another point of view. My system is Windows7/LibO3.4.6 and I do not know anything about LibO3.5.x versions (too much bugs and other problems!) If someone has managed to get LibO-Base work well enough to get a database created and is now ready for creating reports, then he/she is better not to use any (report) wizard, but use a Report Builder (RB) in stead; if RB is not available for LibO yet (if not - why not? sufficient documentation?) then there is an add-on for OpenO-Base -- somebody mentioned that LibO and OpenO are identical. The RB is as easy (if not easier) and straight forward to use and you are free to decide about the report's layout as you want - with the wizard you are (almost) bound to the it's limitations. With the RB you can do everything - and more - as with the wizard, why the wizard is more or less a burden. In my experience the RB worked well but, despite promises in introduction, with the exception of Page/Report Header and Page/Report Footer. These are not only cosmetic matters but very much needed e.g. when a long report covers several pages. you may want the Report Header (report name, date, etc.) plus the Page Header (e.g. column headings) on the first page, but only the Page Header with the column headings repeated on every next pages - no Report Headers are wanted there at the end of every page, in the Page Footer, you may want to count or/and sum some fields per page and finally summarize them at the end of the report, in the Report Footer. (Nor did the 'horisontal-line' button draw any visible lines) As far as I know are these not possible now -- when will these be fixed? In my opinion also the Form Wizard is of no use - it should be skipped. Much better is to create the form manually using Form Design View, provided that both the program/development and the documentation are recreated to a sufficient level of functionality and quality. At least that helps the user to understand what he/she is doing. in LibO there are no easy to reach and sufficient documentation on how to create a form (and a subform) manually using Form Design View in LibO (with embedded HSQL) you are bound to create a form based on a table only (= each form on one table!) - you can not create a form on a query!

For convenience and succinctness, I thought it might be worth SUMMARIZING the situation in this new message. It seems there are (at least) 3 different problems/bugs with the RDW under LO 3.5. SUMMARY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE REPORT-DESIGNER-WIZARD (UNDER LO 3.5) 1. All reports of course need to be based on an SQL query (whether pre-existing, or generated 'on-the-fly' by the RDW) 2. When building a Report using the LRD, there are 2 situations (specified in the first step of the RDW): a. Select a TABLE from your database b. Select a (pre-existing) QUERY from your database (referencing the TABLE above) 3. In the first case (2a above), using LO 3.5, the wizard DOES generate the appropriate query (with the fields and sorting the user has selected), and stores it in the hidden COMMAND control field. But NOTE, there is still a PROBLEM in the case where the Report needs to have GROUP HEADERS (i.e. GROUPED on one of the database fields). In this case, the auto-generated QUERY is incomplete, and the GROUP BY term is omitted. This can be fixed by simply editing the QUERY in the COMMAND control field and adding the GROUP BY term. This is effectively another BUG, in my opinion (the 'Repeated Headings Bug'). e.g. see here: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Base-and-new-Report-Builder-in-3-5-td3817159.html#a3835807 4. In the second case (2b above), the wizard either does NOT generate the query (or does NOT copy it into the COMMAND control field) - leaving it BLANK. So it has to be entered 'manually'. This is the 'Blank COMMAND field' bug mentioned elsewhere.
[libreoffice-users] Issue with LibreOffice Calc after Ubuntu upgrade to 12.04
I am experiencing an issue in LibreOffice Calc since upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. I could not find the solution online, so am posting here, hoping that somebody recognizes this and can help me. Originally I posted the same topic at ubuntuforums.org and was advised to try it at this forum as well. I have several spreadsheets (both .XLS and .ODS) which have a pull down list in some of the cells. The items in the pull down list are listed on a separate sheet in the same file. In 12.04 is this not displayed properly anymore. Instead of the word from the pull down list is only the row number of the sheet where the word is listed displayed. If I create a new spreadsheet from scratch is everything OK. So this issue only affects already existing spreadsheets. What could I do to get Calc to display the entries correctly without having to manually modify all spreadsheets? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Issue-with-LibreOffice-Calc-after-Ubuntu-upgrade-to-12-04-tp3968398.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.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

There are many occasions where they need to email to contacts but need to send .doc formatted files. The File-Send-Email as Microsoft Word allows emailing .odt files into .doc without being forced to save the same file into an identical .doc file. They said that they would really like a function where the Send-Email as Microsoft Word that would allow to do this with more than only one file at a time. Cheers, Marc Why should LibO be a clone of M$ Word? There is no obstacle for the users to download and install LibO as an alternative software for reading open document format if the M$ apps are not able to show o.d.files correctly. Regards, Jiri -- Ing. Jiří Hladůvka - REVIDA http://www.revida.sk mailto:m...@revida.sk Jiri: Both of these people work for professional organizations where the organizations have settled on the .docx format as their default document format. For one of these people, installing LibreOffice at his university is simply not an option for now. The other person works for a large music organization that has also settled on MSO although she is advocating LibreOffice with some sort of success, but not yet endorsed by the organization. Tom: Both of these people are already exporting their files in .doc or .pdf files. The problem with this is that they now have a ton of files that have been doubled; they are both at the admin levels of their organizations and have very active roles in committees. Being able to Send more than one file at a time would eliminate completely the need to export physical files to hardrives. I was thinking if LibreOffice were able to do this, then people would grow to depend on the ODF file formats more and view any other file format as being less important. The perception to users would be that ODF formats are the defacto format and other are really sub-formats to the defacto OFD formats. Perhaps add this as a feature request?

[libreoffice-users] Display of Table entries - one record repeated many times
This is a potentially serious problem I hadn't seen before and was pointed out here recently... http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/1267 The problem manifests in at least TWO situations (at least on my setup): 1. When using the SEARCH function (button with 'binoculars' icon) - click on TABLE to view - click on the SEARCH icon and enter your search term in the 'Search for' box - choose SINGLE FIELD in the 'Where to search' area - in SETTINGS/Position choose 'Anywhere in the field' from the menu - click on SEARCH until your term is found, and REPEAT this several times - at some point (repeating 3 times?), the listing will show a particular found record REPEATED many times - clicking SEARCH again just goes to the NEXT (REPEATED) record - if I CLOSE the SEARCH WINDOW, and then I simply scroll down, the repeated records disappear off the top of the window (as expected) - but then, if I scroll up the list, more multiple records appear, and it's a different record than the initial repeating record 2. If one simply OPENS a TABLE as a table listing, the problem also manifests: - click on a database TABLE in Base to open the listing - scroll down until you reach the last of the first batch of records (99 records) - then scroll up, and you might see these 'spurious' repeating entries It looks like there is something seriously wrong with display mechanism for database/BASE tables in LO. I opened the same database in OpenOffice 3.3, and there are NO problems at all! I'm using a Mac with LO 3.53. I haven't check LO 3.3.x or 3.4.x (By the way, I'm running the database showing this problem in 'file mode' but I suspect the other users reporting this problem are using the standard Embedded mode' configuration.) It looks like it's a screen 'drawing' problem and, if ubiquitous, would pretty much cripple any TABLE editing though the listing. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else can replicate this problem or if there are any other USER or BUG reports about it. - Fred -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Display-of-Table-entries-one-record-repeated-many-times-tp3970227.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.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

[libreoffice-users] Combining data rows on one sheet
I need to take data rows from a bunch of sheets, and combine them all on one sheet at the end, so I can do calculations/analysis of all the data. Every way I've tried, doesn't work. I can't make a named range that goes across multiple sheets, to use for a database or a Pivot Table. I can use Consolidate, but it doesn't seem able to update dynamically. Also it includes all the columns in between the ones I'm interested in, and adds them up even though it doesn't make sense for those columns. Is there some way to do this, without programming? -- ~ Kelly C.
