I think we did manage to find out 1 way of doing it using eLaix or something. I saw that thread...long and intimidating! lol. Personally, I keep it very simple: I copy the document (cut paste or type) into LO Writer. I only use the following paragraph styles 'Default' or 'Text Body' and Heading 1, 2, 3 for chapter headings. Occasionally, I'll use a quotation style as required. All edits are done in a fixed-width font for readability and editing (I prefer Courier Prime). Footnotes are always end of chapter if I use sections and a master document, or end of document (which is easier to manage, IMO, since I don't have to mess with a master document. Some long and complex books with lots of footnotes get the master document treatment, with each chapter having its own section. When finished with the input and review, I change Default Paragraph, Text Body, and Heading fonts to 'Times New Roman'. I don't use the writer to epub plugin...since I've had bad luck with it. Instead, I use Calibre to convert from .odt to .epub. The good thing about Calibre, is I can keep the .odt file IN the calibre library for edits later on (if I find an error, etc), and just convert it to epub again as required. Very simple. -- 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] the password of Libreoffice
Well, here's a shot in the dark. The .odt fileis simply a container (like a .zipfile). Use a program like 7-zip (confirmed to work) and extract the content.xml file. It won't be clean, but you may be able to: 1) copy the content.xml into a new.odt file without password protection, or... 2) just open the content.xml file directly in LO. You'll have a lot of xml data in there...so its quite messy. |ZP| Disregard my last message. You can open the .odt file in 7-zip, or Gnome Archive Manager, or whatever...unfortunately, the content.xml is scrambled after password protection. My apologies for the misdirection. |ZP| -- 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

Oooops, sorry you forgot to backup that file somehow. This is diverging slightly off the original topic, but I felt compelled to respond. Depending upon your security concerns, a variety of tools will allow you to sync and backup password databases to a variety of systems (windows, linux, mac, android, etc.). Here are just a few: Secure Password Tools: 1. Keepass. I can't live without it. Store windows registration codes, software registration codes (Adobe, etc), passwords, anything you can think of. Linux (KeepassX, Keepass 2.0), Windows (Keepass 1.0, Keepass 2.0), Android and iPhone/iPad software available. Generate crazy long passwords if you must. 2. TrueCrypt. Set up a truecrypt container (file folder) and put your file passwords in a plain text document. Put the truecrypt container on a USB key and carry it around with you. Inefficient, but doable. 3. Lastpass. See below. Sync Tools: 1. Dropbox. I use Dropbox to maintain specific Keepass databases synced on all computers, tablets, phones. You can argue the security concerns, but the convenience outweighs them. Use your database wisely, set up multiple authentication rules, and use it for non-critical password items if you must. You can use multiple databases as you wish...for example, non-critical passwords in a specific Keypass database synced on Dropbox called 'LibreOffice Files'. 2. Lastpass. Very convenient, and I just started using it. Its strength mostly lies in web passwords, but you can add anything you want, to include LO document passwords, readily accessible online. I DO NOT use it for critical, personal information. 3. BitTorrent Sync. Personally, my new fave. It allows syncing of any folder across your network. No communication outside your LAN, unless you specifically set it up. Use Keypass, Truecrypt, whatever. More of a syncing tool, but you can set up rules to act like a backup system to a specific computer/drive. Much easier to use than any Windows/Linux backup solution tbh. Old school paper files are effective, until your house burns down...so the argument works both ways. Personally, given the proliferation of tools/devices we use, I need password capability across all devices. All of my passwords are Keepass generated (25+ characters and symbols) and writing them all down is simply not an option. Plus I set reminders to change passwords every month or so, within Keypass. Give them a try, I think you'll find the tools listed above are useful and productive...just take extra care protecting where and how you store these files, that's all. -- 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] Can't get leading zeros in Calc

I have a spreadsheet and the data was originally entered as 4 digits. I need to pass it to a database system that requires 6 digits. I've tried formatting with 2 leading zeros but I still cannot get the number to properly show up as 00number. Any ideas? Yes. If the values you have are numbers, then formatting them (as something like 00) should display them as you need. Whether you get six digits into your database depends on exactly how you then transfer the values. But you say this doesn't work. The most likely explanation is that the values stored in the cells are not numbers but text strings - albeit made up of four numeric characters. Changing the formatting of such cells after the event will not change text values into numbers. (You generally wouldn't want it to.) How to proceed? Take your pick: o In a new column, enter =VALUE(Xn) and fill it down the column. You will now have numbers and can format them as you wish. You could even copy them back over the original values, using Paste Special... and pasting Numbers but not Formulas. o In a new column, enter =00Xn and fill it down the column. You will now have six-character text values. Again, you could copy these back over the original values, using Paste Special... and pasting Text but not Formulas. I trust this helps. Brian Barker Just change the properties to 'Text'. It'll preserve the format and you can still do math functions using the cell. -- 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
