[libreoffice-users] gettextfields
Hi, I have an odt writer document with 2 input text fields (added with the form designer toolbar). I manually type text into one of the fields. I copy/pasted a macro to see if I could grab the text within the input field but haven't had any luck. This is the test macro in Basic: Sub EnumerateFields vEnum = ThisComponent.getTextFields().createEnumeration() If Not IsNull(vEnum) Then If vEnum.hasMoreElements() Then Print "OK" Else Print "NOT OK" End If End If End Sub If I manually run this macro I get the "NOT OK" message. What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way of getting the text field elements?

[libreoffice-users] Mail merge's "record number" field
Has anyone gotten this field to return anything? If so please provide details of what you did. I created one line entries from the Bibliography database, inserted Record number after a couple of fields (Title and Author) followed by Next Record. Replicated the line a number of times on the page. After printing the document to a file I opened it.

Precisely: company's product should meet company's target users goals. I am sure that I am NOT target of neither RedHat not Novell. Probably you (and many other readers of this mailing list) are neither. Also: as far as RedHat and Novell are concerned, LibreOffice is not their core product.

In open source world, you are supposed to scratch your own itch (that is: send patches or hire someone to do it for you). If you can't or are unable to, then you might be better off somewhere else. This is one of reasons why Linux and other open source apps never really get substantial share of desktop market. Most desktop users can't scratch their own itch, so they leave. Of course there are some exceptions, most notably Mozilla Firefox. But this is it: exceptions. > And I'm one of those users that possesses neither the time, money, nor > interest in creating a change. A change that may not be compatible with > any other LO produced file. If you have no resources to offer, then I am afraid that you must just wait and pray someone will pick idea up. This is bitter and unfair, but it's the way world is. The main difference between open source and closed source software is when main force behind software is not interested in satisfying your request. In closed source world, that's it. Dead end. In open source world, you still has some margin of opportunity to see change made. But this is possibility, not necessity. It's not like open source software get every feature anyone has ever requested. I think it's important to understand specificity of open source software. It is definitely not for everyone. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- 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] Compatibility LO/MSO
Hi Milos, Milos Sramek schrieb: Hi, I observe that LibreOffice and MS Office display even simple documents, containing just a few paragraphs with numbered and bulleted lists, differently. These differences are from both sides: a document is created in LO, stored in odf and opened in MSO (2013) Do you mean, that you write to .odt and open the document then in MSO-2013? Are you writing with ODF1.2 or with ODF 1.2 extended? In case of ODF 1.2 extended, you cannot expect that MSO can read it the same way, because is might contain parts which are specific to LO. Do you write and reopen the document on the same machine? Otherwise make sure, that you have installed the same fonts on both machines. and vice versa: created in MSO, stored in docx and opened in LO. I would like to understand the situation and to know - if it is just a bug (perhaps on both sides) - if some standard local settings are applied, which result in different display - if it is a fundamental problem residing deep in the ODF and OOXML standards If one application writes ODF (without extended) and another application reads this file and shows it with large differences, then there might be errors in the application, but it can be shortcomings in the specification as well. In such cases you should provide sample documents and detailed descriptions, so that it is possible to investigate.

[libreoffice-users] error messages when starting
Hello: I installed Libreoffice 4.0.2.2 yesterday on Windows 7. The installation happened properly. But everytime when starting the spreadsheet or the wordprocessor, I get the attached error messages. I say OK to to all the messages and later the software works properly. I haven't yet used the software extensively. I tried re-downloading, uninstalling and reinstalling the software a few times. But the error messages keep coming. Can anybody let me know how this can be tackled? -- Regards. Milind Vaze. Reprographic Ventures Ground Floor, Shiveshwarkar House 32 Parekh Street Mumbai 44.
