You can directly modify the installer package with Microsofts ORCA utility. You can run /A administrative install to a network share and modify the resulting .msi installer, or apply a transform against it. Or you can do either and push with GPO or SCCM deployment. Point is the standard tools for Windows software deployment all work pretty well with the way that Andras Timar and others have packaged the builds.

RE: [libreoffice-users] ver. 4.2 copy/paste bug - update
Tom, From: Tom Cloyd... To recap - the dev version you refer me to below is for Windows. I run Kubuntu Linux 13.11. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, I did not realize you were on -- kubuntu. 3. Here's the problem: a. I move some cells from one sheet in a Calc document to a higher location in the same sheet. b. This messes up some linked formulas, so I copy two cells that are correct down through all the others (normally this works OK). to relink the formula. c. Immediately and I get this error message: /vector::_M_range_check /...closing the error message modal window immediate crashes the whole problem. I can offer to share the spreadsheet in which the crash occurs, for what that's worth. It has maybe 30 sheets and is about a meg. in size. I did find that removing about 15 of the sheets appeared to stop the problem, for unknown reasons. The primary developers for Calc have been on top of issues with the major code refactoring done for the 4.2.0 release. So, if you can attach your problem spreadsheet to a FDO hosted Bugzilla report with precise Steps to Reproduce the issue that is the best way to assure that the issue gets attention. I'd attempt a bug report, but every time I've tried that I've gotten lost in the sheer strangeness of the process. I just can't take the time to try to wrestle through the process, which is certainly not set up for average users, I'd say. In truth filing is pretty straight forward, but you'll need to register an account to submit. Two choices: one guided with the Bug Submission Assistant (BSA) - https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ or directly into the Bugzilla interface at http://bugs.libreoffice.org/ (currently a link to bugs.freedesktop.org hosted BZ). For either case, give it a descriptive title and you'd report against: Product: LibreOffice Version: 4.2.1.1 release Component: Spreadsheet Platform: x86(IA32), Linux -- once we get a look at your attached spreadsheet we'd confirm and expand the platform against other platforms. And If you file, and please do so we can confirm and get this attended to, post back with the BZ number. If there's some other package I should have installed, let me know and I'll try it, but right now it looks like this issue isn't even on anyone's radar. Devs sort of expect folks on Linux to roll their own, but as you found there is the nightly TinderBox-45 rolling 32-bit RPM and DEBs of master: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF/current/ If you can get the kunbutu install done from the DEB, should help identify if the revised code in master has addressed your issues. Also, there are PPA packaged builds for the Unbutu folks as well, I just checked and a 4.2.2.0 not yet posted. But you could keep an eye on it: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa and https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases for earlier review.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Where are the file checksums?
For earlier versions that have dropped from the LibreOffice mirror system-- see the TDF LibreOffice archives http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ . The MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 hashes are recorded in the 'Details' links for each file. For most folks, using the hash and skipping the GPG verification is sufficient. But, if you are super cautious, you'll need to use a GnuPG client to extract and verify the .ASC PGP signature of the download. Note: on Windows that would probably be Gpg4win http://gpg4win.org/download.html , it offers the Kleopatra GUI to simplify the steps. For any OS, you'll need the LibreOffice project public key, named 0xf434a1efafeeaea3 Done from CLI with gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys AFEEAEA3 and then running the GPG verify against the .ASC signature for the download. Both the installer package and the signature file need to be in the same directory. gpg --verify LibreOffice_4.1.5.3_Win_x86.msi.asc In doing so, you both verify the signature of the download (that it came from TDF build process) and coincidentally verify the integrity --completeness-- of the download.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Non-PDF Portable Document Formats (Exporting from LO)
Top posting answer to Hal... See either of two ways to proceed, since LibreOffice already bases it PDF page rendering on Poppler and bundles it, you might as well work against that and write a LibreOffice extension. Alternative might be the java source code from Writer2LaTex project (http://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/ ) for the Writer2xhtml that will handle ODF document conversion directly to EPUB. Or simply use the extension as is with LibreOffice.

While I don't want to go into a discussion of the point of this program and why I'm doing another, a brief summary may help. As a writer, I don't like sending my work over email or other insecure methods of internet transfer. This e-reader would let me (and my writer friends) share our work easily with our friends while keeping it encrypted during transfer and even on the reader's computer. The file is read in and decrypted when displayed for reading. This would also let me make early drafts expire so they can be ditched when they're obsolete. I still haven't decided what language to use for this. Initially it'll work on OSX, Windows, and Linux. I'd like to expand it to Android and iOS. There's a good chance it'd be in C++ or Java, but it would be great if I could do it in Python. (I know of Kivy and other efforts that would make it easy for me to transport Python to at least Android.) The problem is I need some kind of portable document format. I know that implies, immediately, PDF. However, there seems to be only one library that handles PDF display, and that's Poppler. I'm not an expert programmer (at least not in C++), and when I've asked for help from the Poppler people, they've been abrupt and less than helpful. I'd like to be able to write in LO, then save or export my file, and have it in a format I can easily display on the different operating systems. I tried saving some files in HTML. The plain text ones were no problem at all. Margins and formatting was preserved just as I needed it. But then I tried one that was part of a pitch, so it had a page of text, then a page of pictures, basically two columns of pictures with captions below each picture. I loaded that in a browser and the formatting was okay on the first page, but was totally messed up on the 2nd page with the pictures. As best I can tell, at this point, there is not a portable library out there that I can use from within a program to easily display ODT files, but that would be a great solution. So what format can I use when exporting from LibreOffice, other than PDF, that can be easily displayed by any libraries in either Java, C++, or Python? Thanks!

Tom, Glad you are making progress. Now, if we can impose a bit on you ;-) It would be very helpful if you can now more completely characterize the remaining issue into a formal issue report on our Bugzilla tracker (as hosted by FreeDesktop.org but early in a migration to our own). https://bugs.freedesktop.org/index.cgi where you'd Open a New Account Then, you can File a Bug from there against LibreOffice, selecting component of Spreadsheet, and setting version of 4.3.0.0.alpha1 Or alternatively, use the Bugzilla Submission Assistant as an alternative -- https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ -- with the Bugzilla log-in just created. All very simple, but the work/pain needed would be that attached to the new bug we'd need you to put a sanitized version of the problem spreadsheet that still produces the crash. And also include the specific steps you perform that are resulting in the vector::_M_range_check crashes. The better the description of steps to reproduce with the sample document, the more likely one of the devs will be able to pin down the specific cause of the crash. And, since you are on Linux, you might also attach a backtrace and strace of the crash--details for that are here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux I know it will be a bit of work for you to get it submitted, but it is worth the hassle as it may lead to complete support for your work flows.

Stuart, Update and status report - good news! - 1. I've installed Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 46cfcd5a05aa1d13fecd73f5a25b64b8d8dd6781. It's at least as solid as ver. 4.1.6.2 was for me. I'm still having vector::_M_range_check crashes - but only in one particular situation. As long as all my work is in one sheet - no errors at all. What a relief! But moving data to another sheet crashes it under a very specific situation. I'm working on a replication dataset so I can file a bug and maybe see this problem removed completely while it's still an alpha. That would be fantastic. I'd also be actually contributing a little to development, and I'd love to do that. So, all the work that's gone into this new version has sure paid off for ME, and I'm very grateful. 2. I installed 4.3.0.0 in parallel with 4.1.6.2, in case I had to revert to that, but right now - about 25 minutes into it I don't see that happening. Better to go forward, I think. My experiences can then help to improve the code, maybe. 3. I installed GNUmeric. Gck! Not good. It was incredibly slow. To insert a single new row in one sheet took about 50 seconds. More complicated things took even longer. It wouldn't copy formatting, and I could NOT find a format painter, which I simply must have. A total no-go for me. But, worth a look. So, as of now, I'm back in business and moving forward, and that's a much better place than I was yesterday - all of which was devoted to trying to resolve this problem. Thanks for your help for pushing me into 4.3. I had to study up on a few things, but the LO wiki material was extremely helpful and clear, and it solved all problems that came up. Onward!

Tom, When you get a chance, could you load up a newer nightly build of master, e.g. of the 4.3.0.0alpha1+ build. Found here-- http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ Kohei Yoshida, one of the lead devs on the calc spreadsheet component, made a range of commits on 24 April (the 4.3.0.0alpha1 was wrapped up 20 April so not included yet for it) against bugs fdo#76607 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76607 and fdo#72741 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72741 .

[libreoffice-users] Re: Dear libreoffice
Colin, Thanks for posting! LibreOffice is a community of volunteer users designers and developers. With some corporate sponsorship of all facets. Point is, that you are more than welcome to volunteer the effort to improve the product, but no one is going to do so for you simply at your behest. In fact a release build of the 4.2 branch offers reliable cross referencing and footnotes, and with current development builds (pre-4.3.0) citation and parenthetical notation has been further cleaned up. Additionally the Zotero project (Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University) already offers a fully functional extension for LibreOffice that meets technical and academic users requirements on Ubuntu and all other OSs running LibreOffice. The Mendeley project (now owned by Elsevier publishing) offers comparable functions including a citation plugin supporting Word, LibreOffice and BibTex. If you have specific issues of incompatibility, you can contribute by writing up and submitting complete bug reports and submitting to the appropriate project.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Working on an archive site/pages for LOand the DVD
On Monday, October 10, 2011 10:57 AM webmaster for Kracked Press Productions [mailto:webmas...@krackedpress.com] responded: OK, I never really saw that check box before. And what is that ... after the md5sum mean? There are other formats, MD5 (Message Digest v5) is just one of numerous cryptographic hash functions ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function ) that can be used to calculate a unique signature for a file. The Document Foundation uses the MirrorBrain FOSS Download Director to manage download content including provision of several common cryptographic hash values (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) for each datafile. If you check the box and then use the Other way to download LibreOffice, the productivity suite, how do you use the md5sum files? How do you deal with these md5sum files to determine if your download file is proper? What is the process? If I knew about that, I may have looked into those files before. Usage is pretty simple, you don't need to install anything--you just compare the HASH value listed against the calculated HASH value of the file downloaded. Unix and Linux have built in commands either digest -a md5|sha1|sha256, md5sum, sha1sum or sha256sum--one of them will be there as needed. There are similar utilities for windows command line, but Microsoft doesn't provide one with the OS. Simple web search will give you multiple choices. But, I actually prefer to install a GUI helper utility for working with the HASH values, and I find the Hash CRC freeware from febooti meets our needs found here ( http://www.febooti.com/products/filetweak/members/hash-and-crc/ ). Once installed, the utility extends the Windows shell and provides a Hash / CRC on the file properties tab. You check the Hash type you need to calculate and apply. The resulting Hash is then compared against the Hash you made note of--or have open in the download Web page. The problem for me is I never have seen a way to generate a md5sum file for files I created. I never downloaded those files before either. It is just one more thing to download, if I had that option. Use the Unix/Linux command line or one of the Windows utilities allows to calculate the HASH value, then post it with a label as to which HASH it is, be used when distributing the datafile. Can I download both for each install and list them on my site? ... Each datafile being served for download (or simply being exchanged) should be provided with its unique HASH value in one of the common formats.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Documents Not Opening On External Drive
Fellows, I think you're mixing apples and oranges. Yogi's problem has nothing to do with his DHCP service and is unlikely to be a router issue. SMB (Server Message Block) and CIFS (Common Internet Files System) are the same Microsoft controlled specifications. As a practical matter affecting LibreOffice use, what is variable is the OS hosting and the implementation of the network file system resource. CIFS is the native Windows flavor (slight differences each release from Windows NT to Windows Server 2008 R2) while SAMBA is the reverse engineered FOSS implementation of SMB/CIFS (again differences with each implementation of Server or NAS operating system). The question earlier and examples of problems Alex referenced were mostly related to file locking issues on SAMBA implementations (on multiple *nix flavors). I think there was an NFS locking issue as well. Several referenced running the SAMBA instance with the -NORBL flag (No Record Blocking) as a work around. So the question to be answered by Yogi might be: what is the OS base of your NAS--Windows (native CIFS and few issues) or a *nix hosted SAMBA? And, what release for the service/daemon? Also, for the problem data, is the partition mount set read/write in the related share configuration or smb.conf and how is the lock mechanism handled. Providing those details and perhaps other about the NAS server, coupled with details on the client experiencing access or stability issues would be more likely to provide useful response and dialog.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Documents Not Opening On External Drive
==Posted from the Nabble Web Interface== Yogi, So reading into it, your Synology DS109 should be a Linux 2.6. based kernel. Your Windows shares are coming to you from the NAS as SMB/CIFS from a Samba 3.2.x package under Linux. So you are going to be subject to some of the file locking issues mentioned. It looks like there have been a number of upgrades to the NAS's OS and firmware, I'd go ahead and login to it and perform the upgrade to the latest OS release Disk Station Manager 3.2 ( http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=27t=41034 ). Synology's Linux OS implementation provides a command line interface. The configuration files for the SAMBA service can be directly edited ( http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_add_additional_directories ) to accomodate account permissions and file/record locking needed to make content of the SMB/CIFS shares fully editible from Windows 7. In addition to the Synology provided OS updates, there is a robust community of modders that actively integrate FOSS packages into the Synology Disk Station Manager NAS environment. Suggest you'll do well to do some reading in the Synology forums. You might be interested in the iSCSI support as an alternative to SMB/CIFS.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Documents Not Opening On External Drive
Yogi, Glad you got it sorted. However, I am very concerned that it takes a System Analyst to understand why a very elementary task cannot be performed. The average LibreOffice user is only interested in having the application work... I would not say the skill set needed is average, but in choosing to operate a NAS, the configuration is just a bit more challenging and so demands a bit more sophistication on a users part.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Installer stalls after C++ process
Michael, See if this helps... UAC under Windows 7 can bite you at strange times. So one of the first things I do on a new Windows 7 install is to activate the true Administrator account: launch a command window Run as Administrator and enter net user Administrator /Active:yes (note capital A's and single space before slash) then run lusrmgr.msc and set a password for the now active Administrator account. Log off and onto the Administrator account and try your installation there, move you day-to-day account out of the Administrators group keeping just the Administrator for installs and sysadmin.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Installation problem with LibreOffice 3.5
Open windows registry editor (regedit.exe) from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) and set a RegistrySizeLimit value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control key. Set RegistrySizeLimit (DWORD 32) to Hex (8 - fs), close registry, reboot. Should clear the Error 1935 condition. Also worth the effort to verify the HASH value of your downloaded installer.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Tom, No. You've misunderstood the whole Java JRE and BASE HSQLDB performance issue. Problem is not and never was with the Sun/Oracle Java JRE. The past problem with LibO and OOo HSQLDB performance was with process thread creation in the LibO/OOo JDBC interface. The dev patch (by Stephen Bergmann) for Bug 35023 Base functions extremely slowly with Java 1.6.0_20 and 1.6.0_24 has been applied to the 3.5.0 core, and may make it into 3.4.6; but use of a 1.6u21 JRE was only a work around for LibO's BASE native HSQLDB 1.8 performance issues as that version of the JRE handled needed threads differently. Use of Java JRE 1.7 (with Oracle Corp ownership strings) was back ported to 3.4.5--so no issue there. Look for issues with spell check elsewhere.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LO 3.5 Windows
Likely a problem with download of the ~201MB installation package. On the download page there is an Info link that if opened in another tab presents you a set of HASH values and recommended (by proximity) download mirrors to use for your transfer. This content is managed by The DocumentFoundation mirroring service provided by the MirrorBrain project. The MD5, SHA1, SHA256 values listed are each calculated digests or HASH values but each uses a specific algorithm. To validate against any of the digest HASH values listed you will need a digest validation tool for that algorithm. OpenSSL openssl dgst [md5, sha1, sha256] commands would be the standard on Linux and is also available on Unix. And there are a mix of GUI or command line tools for Windows. There are also browser add-ons, but I find them cumbersome. My personal preference for MS Windows is the freeware Hash CRC utility from febooti software. http://www.febooti.com/products/filetweak/members/hash-and-crc/ It integrates into the Windows shell, and is called by selecting the properties value from the context menu (rightmouse button). While it requires installation, it encourages more routine use of digest verification as you create, exchange or download files. Post back if after validating the HASH you find your download was not the issue.

RE: [libreoffice-users] inferior jre error message -- assigned to Bug ID 46114
Jude, Can confirm your issue after installing NVDA, while running LibreOffice 3.5.4rc2. The NVDA screen reader functions as expected, but when working in LibreOffice, NVDA cursor controls are not correct. Attempting to activate the accessibility support from Tools -- Options -- Accessibility checkbox results in LibreOffice message that LibreOffice 3.5 requires Java Access Bridge 1.0.3 or later version to support accessibility. Installation of the current Java Access Bridge 2.0.2 according to the manual installation instructions: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm and subsequent attempt to activate Accessibility support causes LibreOffice to crash. There were two on topic Bugzilla reports, 46114 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46114 ) and 46422 which I've marked as duplicate. And related bugs 39803 - Make Libreoffice accessible by default, and 39956 - Implement the IAccessible2 accessibility API [accessibility] that should probably be followed.

[libreoffice-users] Re: inferior jre error message
Jude, Would you please try an installation of the Java Access Bridge 2.0.2 using the JWin installer by Jamal Mazrui and report back if you have assistive technology in general and in particular if NVDA is functioning as you'd expect. Program download link is here -- http://EmpowermentZone.com/JWin_setup.exe -- Additional information about the project here -- http://empowermentzone.com/JWin.htm -- but basically this installer automates installation and configuration of the Java Access Bridge and correctly configures the Java Runtime to work with it.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Is 3.5.4 ready for business users?
Jude DaShiell wrote No. Not ready for Government academic or business users. What's worse, the accessibility problems inferior jre with windows registry patch merged didn't start in libreoffice at all. Those same problems exist in openoffice 3.45 which I think is its current version. Something or somethings were broken before the import or copy over of code from openoffice to libreoffice. The accessibility problems put libreoffice in a Section 508 violation situation.

[libreoffice-users] Re: inferior jre error message
Jude, Please uninstall your Java Runtime and Java Access Bridge--and run the JWin utility to install a JRE then correctly configure Java Access Bridge. It doesn't do anything that can't be done by hand, but the manual set up is error prone. Please get JAB configured correctly and then let us know about activating LibreOffice Accessibility Tools and using NVDA. Also, the Windows Registry configuration file that the NVDA project offers OpenOffice_EnableAssistiveTechnologySupport.reg is defunct. It has no effect on a LibreOffice installation since the registry keys in the .reg file DO NOT EXIST with a LibreOffice installation--the code is there, but it is orphaned when LibreOffice is built. The setting for enabling or disabling the GUI in LibreOffice is recorded to an XML based file registrymodifications.xcu in each users %APPDATA% folder, on Windows 7 that would be C:\Users\you user name\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\registrymodifications.xcu The stanza to toggle the default from false to true is: item oor:path=/org.openoffice.VCL/Settings/org.openoffice.VCL:ConfigurableSettings['Accessibility'] prop oor:name=EnableATToolSupport oor:op=fuse oor:type=xs:stringvaluefalse/value/prop /item It would be a challenge to use the .xcu file to toggle AT on/off--but that is the current state of things with LibreOffice. So unfortunately you will need to use the AltT, ALTO, A, A, TAB, Space to perform the configuration--but with a valid JRE and JAB the Assistive Technology tools should be functional for you.

Great question! Unfortunately I'm away from the office so don't have a Linux box to poke around in. But, from its name would expect the registrymodifications.xcu to be unique to the Windows installation and set up by the Microsoft package installer that Andras Timar builds.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Will Libreoffice have a LESS BUG version in the future?
Paul-6 wrote If you are more interested in stability and lack of bugs, OpenOffice is a better choice, as I understand they are more focused on bug hunting and not so much on new features. Hmm..., not sure I'd agree with that at all. The Apache OpenOffice project is pushing out revisions as quickly as they are able. And, being active in both projects I can say that it is simply not true that Apache OpenOffice is any more stable than LibreOffice. The Apache OpenOffice project has its own share of code quality and functional issues in existing code and in new features that project devs wrangle with daily. The development model differs considerably, but both projects have moved forward substantial enhancements, many from Apache OpenOffice get routinely incorporated into LibreOffice. But less so going the other direction due to Apache licensing restrictions. Older releases of LibreOffice remain publicly available in the projects archive server: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ so folks are welcome to stay at a particular release level if they have specific issues. Developer support of these older releases has ceased, but it is not inappropriate to raise enhancement or bug reports against old versions as compared to builds in the current development cycle. Regards OPs request for Less Bug--i.e. less buggy releases, the only way that happens is if we users participate during active development periods--testing across the office suite, and raising valid issues as bugs, and requesting valid enhancements for features not yet implemented or for features that may have been removed or altered so as to be unusable. We users should participate on either project, or both as our time and interests permit. But at the least we must provide concise, actionable feedback to other project participants. So, please use an older release of either project if it meets your needs--but please also make the effort to evaluate what continuing development has delivered, both in function and in quality of the suites. And then go ahead and participate. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Will-Libreoffice-have-a-LESS-BUG-version-in-the-future-tp4113254p4113276.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

Interesting answer. I think you're saying that 4.2.6 is essentially bugfree, but 4.3.x is not. I suppose that an undescribed bug is one that the LO developers dd not discover during their testing, and that we users are the next test bed. I generally eschew programs with version numbers ending in 0, for that very reason. I just checked and I see that I have v4.0.1.2. Check for updates tells me that 4.2.5 (no typo!) is available for manual downloading. Where are 4.2.6 and 4.3.0? See the URLs provided, they will detect the browser language in use and offer that build of LibreOffice. The rest of your comment is correct. No shame in avoiding the initial 4.3.0 or 4.3.1 release, but by the 4.3.2 release (week of Sep 22, 2014) as the 4.2.7 release is finalized (4.2 branch EOL is 19 Nov) --all users should be considering a shift to the 4.3 branch by that point. And then briefly remain on only the 4.3 branch until release of the initial 4.4.0 build (week of 26 Jan, 2015)--which will coincide with the 4.3.5 release.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Data loss in Math in LO Writer: Some Formulas irrecoverably lost every now and then
Tom, *, of course there are alternatives among the LaTex editors and Tex renderings, but rather than sending Paul off on a wild goose chase, better to ask him for the additional details we need triage his issue. So, Paul--are you working natively only with ODF format in Writer .odt, and Math .odf components? Are you using a LibreOffice extension (TexMaths, or OOoLatex) to manipulate your formulas or just Math? If so, version? Are you moving document round trip (export/reopen) to OOXML? Are you making any use, by import, of Microsoft formula originated materials? Stuart TomD wrote Hi :) This is just in Math, nothing to do with Calc is it? I don't know what is causing it. Is there an alternative such as using Scribus or LaTeX? I think it's fairly easy to get LibreOffice to Save As ... into a format that Scribus can use easily but i don't know how difficult Scribus is to learn in a hurry.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Making horizontal lines in Writer
Tim, *, This is not a bug. Horizontal lines in Writer are a direct paragraph style assigning a bottom border for the paragraph. I would expect it to only be valid in ODF format--there is no reason to expect LibreOffice ODF (.odt) style elements to be recognized by the export filtering to generate OOXML (.docx) , or MS binary (.doc) formats. Or for the style to be recognized by Microsoft Word in their native ODF form--although a few of the borders are. Writer (or rather the edit engine) provides a Tools -- AutoCorrect Options -- Apply border check box to enable an autocorrect based short cut for activating a bottom edge border of the current paragraph. Essentially, while completing a paragraph, the immediate entry of a triplet of: - (dash), _ (underscore), = (equal), * (asterisk) , ~ (tilde) or # (hash) each will apply direct formatting creating a bottom edge border for the paragraph. Each triplet will generate a different line style. The actual horizontal border, and its resulting line will vary depending on the character set and OS, but then the paragraph can be otherwise styled to control width and color or even the line style from the Format -- Paragraph -- Borders panel in the Line section. Try out triplets of the characters above, and then adjust the Paragraph border. And, for OP, as suggested the PDF is the best way to render LibreOffice documents portable for non-users. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Making-horizontal-lines-in-Writer-tp4123354p4123389.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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] Re: Ctrl+F4 Close document
@Cley, *, Cley Faye wrote The close document behavior you're noticing on windows is not linked to LibreOffice, but is a feature of the system. It just mean close the window, not the app and work everywhere. You can try it in most tabbed browser too :) Sorry but that is not quite correct. The Key mappings are actually hard-coded in the vcl modules of LibreOffice core--see the source http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/window/keycod.cxx On Windows the KEY_MOD1 is the Ctrl key, KEY_MOD2 is the Alt key, and I beleive the Windows key is mapped to KEY_MOD3-- on OSX I believe the KEY_MOD1 is mapped to the Command key and KEY_MOD2 is mapped to Alt but I'd have to check that. So, the reason it is not available to customize in the Writer Tools -- Customize -- Keyboard is because the key combo is defined for the entire LibreOffice application--they are reserved. As can be seen in the source, a CTRL+F4 or CTRL+W will */Close/* the document. While a ALT+F4 or CTRL+Q will */Quit/* LibreOffice. All that being said, the operating system may have other key-mappings in place that can conflict or take precedence over LibreOffice mappings. That does happen on some of the Linux Desktop Environments and is likely what is affecting Thomas.

[libreoffice-users] Re: How to handle regressions
@Charles, *, Tanstaafl wrote Also, I'm confused... Jan-Marek in the bug comment on August 17th - well before the 'Hard code freeze' on September 1st for 4.3.2 (released on Sept 22nd - said that the patch would show up in the daily builds after that. So, I'm not complaining, I'm just asking - can someone who understands the dev process explain why this fix did not make it into 4.3.2? No worries, it can get a bit confusing about what commits are where and when. His would show up in the daily builds refereed only to master branch. To be clear, in the normal flow of things, majority of development is made by commits onto the master branch. That includes new features, or UX/UI tweaks or even patches to repair or revert regressions. The in-line field edits have been available for testing in master since the commit in August. So where it gets confusing is the master's relationship with prior releases. At present we have the 4.2 branch nearing its final bug-fix release and then EOL a month later, and the 4.3 branch with its third bug fix in the works. While commits to master can and do break things, in order to keep the code stable, patches committed to master require additional review and deliberation before being back-ported to a prior branch. As needed some work will be done directly on the older branches--but most is integrated into master first and ideally are fully tested there. Some times if dealing with an obvious regression with simple correction, the developer will put up the back-port for review immediately, but usually just one release back. At times the issue has technical dependencies and requires review and validation, and only then will the back-port be posted and again reviewed before it is committed. But occasionally the dev will simply overlook a good opportunity to resolve an issue on branches other than master--which is understandable as most developers are forward looking and framing the work to tackle the next feature or issue in queue. And that is where the user and QA community comes in, we have to stay up with the issues on the forum and in BZ and occasionally make comment regards opportunity that might otherwise be missed. For this issue--despite being on the 4.2 Most Annoying Bug list--once patched the back-port to 4.2 or to 4.3 for the in-line field editing was not pursued. In fact it was only proposed yesterday, meaning it missed 4.3.2 testing and build cycle. But when committed to the branch should make the 4.3.3 bug-fix cut. And, technically, it could still make the 4.2.7 final release, but that requires an exceptional approval by three devs or the Engineering Steering Committee. Jan-Marek G.'s proposed backport to 4.3 branch for the in-line field edits are up for code review, each of these is a separate facet of the patch needed for 4.3 (and possibly 4.2) as already implemented in master since August. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11779 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11780 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11781 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11782 If there are no technical issues, since the patch put into master in August was sound they'll likely be approved and committed in time for the next 4.3 release--but available for testing in context on nightly builds of the 4.3 branch once committed, i.e. they should be checked by users and QA for continued proper function. Hope that was clear enough for all.

[libreoffice-users] Understanding the Bugzilla issue tracker
Charles S. (aka. Tanstaafl) asked in this thread: Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2014 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to handle regressions Follow-up... In the bug UI, is there an easy way to get a list of bugs that have been patched/fixed in master, that a user like me could browse, and pick certain ones that I could then test and if confirmed fixed, could request be back-ported (if they haven't been already)? I would be very happy to participate in this manner, but honestly, the bug UI is a bit daunting, so anything that makes this easier for non devs would be very welcome for technically inclined non-devs like yours truly. @Charles, *, Great question! As it happens you can do just that as the project has implemented use of a set of status messages posted to the *Whiteboard* field in Bugzilla to hold various QA and development status notes. Notice of patch commits against specific BZ issues are automatically posted** -=To search against the Whiteboard=- Open Bugzilla -- Search, and select the Advanced Search panel tab Under the Product column select LibreOffice Under the Status column keep the default of NEW-ASSIGNED-REOPENED (unless looking at historical details) In the Detailed Bug Information section, on the Whiteboard row enter target:4.4.0 (i.e. either current master, or specific branch) The general and advanced details are in these two Wiki articles: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard/Advanced =-=-= From the Complete List of Accepted Whiteboard Tags https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard/Advanced#Complete_List_of_Accepted_Whiteboard_Tags *target* Description: target refers to the version(s) where a commit which fixes the problem can be expected to be seen. Use: Generally “target” is automatically entered when a developer commits a patch specifically to fix a bug reported on the bug tracker. Users, QA and Developer should generally not manually enter “target” into whiteboard, the only exception is when the automatic system did not tag the bug and a developer or QA member knows the exact commit which fixed the bug and what version of LibreOffice will see the patch. In these cases a QA member can mark a bug as “target:x.x.x.x” where x.x.x.x is the version(s) of LibreOffice where the commit was pushed to. *Example:* target:4.2.0.0 This means that a commit which fixes the problem was committed to the 4.2.0.0, and therefore if a user or QA member tests 4.2.0.0 they should not see the bug any longer. =-=-= Looking at Bugzilla and the Wiki, the whole process is a little daunting, but really can be quickly mastered. A good starting point for the QA process--this Wiki page is helpful: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage#Introduction Stuart **Generating the automatic target:xx.xx.xx tag does require that the dev working in git/gerrit annotate the bug being addressed, a manual action so it is not 100%. But, well structured BZ issues facilitate both the QA triage on intake and tracking at all stages as devs work on issues--so the preferred workflow is to capture details into BZ. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Understanding-the-Bugzilla-issue-tracker-tp4124888.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

The instructions in the link were unclear (or just plain wrong), but I did finally manage to get the installer to complete, apparently successfully, i.e. the installer wizard reported that install was OK and the files appear to be there, but when I try to start it up it crashes with the error Application Error: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc07b) Does anyone have the explanation (and hopefully also the remedy) for this?Thanks,/Gary Gary, I do hundreds of these installs, and at the moment in addition to current 4.3.3.2 build, I have 16 parallel builds of prior release and TB daily builds available to use on Windows. So, doing this is second nature to me. I just reviewed the in parallel instructions for Windows builds (Version 3.5.x and newer) on the Wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Two key points for in parallel loads that should help you sort things: On Windows builds we use the Microsoft Installer mechanism to perform an Administrative installation of the package with the /A flag. Lots of general support online for what happens with Administrative installations of .msi packages. But the important part is that the typical installation does not actually install anything--it just fully extracts it to the system. And the step to specify the target directory with TARGETDIR= is very necessary to do things consistently into a location other than the Download folder. Personally I set it to a folder named for the build on the C: drive, e.g. TARGETDIR=C:\LO42363_20140904 The other aspect, in the User Configuration section of the Wiki, is that the default extraction sets the program to use an internal LibreOffice variable $SYSUSERCONFIG that on launch points to your Windows %APPDATA% directory--and would interfere with content of your actual installation. To run installs in parallel, in the program directory the bootstrap.ini file is edited to change the variable to $ORIGIN (i.e. where program is being launched from) and giving it a relative path /../Data/settings to keep everything on execution within the parallel installation. If you get those to facets correct, things should run well for you. If not, it is possible that the downloaded .msi installer was corrupt. You can check that for the release builds by reviewing either the hash values, or PGP signature of the file you download. The released builds are here: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ and drill down to the Windows folder where hash and signatures are on the details links. Verify your download. Hope that was clear for you, but post back if still stuck.

[libreoffice-users] Re: How does 4.4 compress PDFs so well? Is there a quality problem?
@Paddy, A printed copy of your PDF is not a very good test of document quality. Embedded BMP representation within LibreOffice is at 300dpi. Export print may be the vector format (wmf, emf, eps, svg) or a bitmap rendering preview--at 300dpi. You really need to open each PDF in suitable viewer and zoom in to 800% or 1200%. How do embedded images compare there? Are they bitmap? Or more concise full resolution vector images? Also, the platform you work on will impact handling of vector images. Several helper programs are needed--Ghostscript, ImageMagick, pstoedit and the mix will impact handling as bitmap or vector. Please provide your OS details, and perhaps attach a sample output (via the Nabble interface).

[libreoffice-users] Re: Comments on pdf file size in 4.4 alpha; and a new bug?
@Tom, *, Nicely put.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Comments on pdf file size in 4.4 alpha; and a new bug?
@Rob, *, Rob Jasper wrote I think this is really well explained. I've been professionally involved in defect reporting for years, and the problems seem to be the same in all organisations. Problems in defect reporting: 1- Qualification of type (A bug is unexpected behaviour which does not comply to the requirements; An enhancement request is new development which changes both requirements and code) 2- Severity (How serious is the bug/enhancement request from users perspective) 3- Priority (What is the priority with respect to other bug/enhancement reports) Neither of these I see in out bugzilla defect reporting... There should be a moderator (not a developer) to map out the priority. One can set out rather strict rules for this, think about amount of complaints for the same, file corruption, system crash, etc. If we would go along these lines we might get away with the tension between (expert-) users and developers. But again, good effort here to get things ironed out, Thanks Tom, Rob. Actually, the LibreOffice project is rather well organized in this regard--please review the QA Wiki here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA QA is a distinct entity to Development--and while there is certainly some cross over, the developers are not moderators of the process. That falls to the Engineering Steering Committee with input from the entire community--QA team, UX and Design team, Documentation team, Localization/Internationalization team, Marketing team and the occasional needs of TDF board. So, always room to participate. Please start as Tom suggested by loading a current build of the 4.4.0 build, or a daily Tinderbox of master and test there. We can always use additional help with the QA process--get a login on our FDO hosted Bugzilla instance https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and dive in, plenty of triage work to go around.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing options.
@Steve, That is an interface to System printer settings. And, if you are using it for printing to a PDF processor--you are printing as PS (Adobe or Ghostscript based). But internal to LO, an Export to PDF will use different processing filters than printing to PS--so there can be subtle differences between the two resulting PDFs.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Saving intermediate drafts of bug reports in Bugzilla
Hedley, No way to do it like that. You can open a stub of the report set status to NEEDINFO. And then flesh it out. But it would be visible to any BZ participant as you work on it. And, when finished crafting, set to UNCONFIRMED to alert the QA reviewers who will either set it back to NEEDINFO or if fully described and valid move it along as NEW.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Dot separated date in YYYY.MM.DD format
Add the input format to your Date acceptance pattern? Tools - Language Settings - Languages: Language Of... Date acceptance patterns -=from en-US help=- Date acceptance patterns Specifies the date acceptance patterns for the current locale. Calc spreadsheet and Writer table cell input needs to match locale dependent date acceptance patterns before it is recognized as a valid date. Default locale dependent date acceptance patterns are generated build time, but it is possible to add more or modify them in this edit box. Additionally to the date acceptance patterns defined here, every locale accepts input in an ISO 8601 Y-M-D pattern, and since LibreOfficeDev 3.5 that also leads to the -MM-DD format being applied. Syntax: Y means year, M means month, and D means day, regardless of localizaton. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Dot-separated-date-in--MM-DD-format-tp4133212p4133233.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

Urmas D. wrote 'Error 1402. Could not open key:HOT_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\ bmp\OpenWithProgIDs. The actual issue is that LO has no business messing with this registry key at all. Actually the correct registry key would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.bmp\OpenWithProgids and LibreOffice would lay down a string value of LibreOffice.Bmp. On a fully integrated installation on Windows that value allows the LibreOffice Draw module to open a .bmp from Windows Explorer shell using the open with dialog.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Installing 2 versions of LO on Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite
Just inherited a 2007 iMac and loaded Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) First thing I loaded LO 4.4.0.2, and then 4.3.6.2 and the current (2015-01-21) 4.5.0 master. Steps couldn't be simpler. In fact parallel install is done almost the same as with the Windows .msi packages Put which ever of the installs into /Applications just like any package install. Drag and drop there once the .dmg is downloaded and mounted. Launch by double clicking the folder in /Applications. For the additional installs, they could go into /Applications as well just with different names. But they can go anywhere. For example onto user's Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc... just mount the downloaded .dmg package and drag the LibreOffice or LibreOfficeDev .app directory object to where you want it to reside. It does not need to go into /Applications. Then use Spotlight to find the bootstraprc file and edit it in TextEdit. Just as with Windows or Linux builds, edit the UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 to be UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings The $ORIGIN variable is parsed internally by LibreOffice and then creates the entire user profile within the app package, in the example Data/settings but the directory names for the user profile can actually be anything you like. They are fully structured profiles and are portable. When ready to launch the build, open the .app folder with Finder and locate the soffice executable and Control Open it. You can create an app launcher for it if you don't want to dig down into the folder every time. Easy as pie... I had all three flavors running simultaneously and could do side-by-side comparisons of the UI. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Installing-2-versions-of-LO-on-Mac-OS-X-10-10-1-Yosemite-tp4136563p4136999.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
