Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice?

And the suggestion that the latest crypt virus may have been introduced to computers through a document macro makes me more comfortable using LO without MSO on any win PCs. Steve Well, if you look at the CNN Headline News, they have stated that MS has a patch for this virus, but wanted to charge some users for it. The on-air comment seems to say that since MS had the patch, they should have sent it out to ALL MS Windows users. Plus, it the patch was installed, most computers would not have been infected. Fro me, I use Linux so I do not have the security problems as MS Windows users. I do have Win10, but rarely use it.

Sorry, but this makes no sense. Each pair of value here defines a point, not a line. There are an infinity of lines that you can draw through any point, having all possible gradients.You need at least two points to define a line, and then only on the assumption that the line is straight. I want that the graph show where the lines intersect. The infinity of possible lines through each of your two points intersect in a infinity of places. The question is not well enough defined to be answered. From your knowledge if the quantities that you are plotting, could you assume that both graphs go through the origin, (0,0)? If so, you could include these points and create two lines. But the answer to your query would then be trivial: the lines cross at (0,0)! And I prefer that A go in X axis and U in Y axis. That's easy: just reverse the order of your columns of data. It is very easy to move or copy data. I couldn't do it yet. I put the data in some orders but I can get the graph. That's because - with only one point in each set of data - there is no graph to get. I trust this helps.

You will have seen Regina Henschel's recipe for a graph. Here is another: o Select the data block as above and click the Chart button. o Select "X-Y (Scatter)" and leave all other options as default. o Select the chart (grey border, not coloured handles). o Right-click a point and select Insert Trend Line... and OK. o Repeat for a point on the other line. But do you really want to see the graph, or perhaps just find the coordinates of the point of intersection, as was perhaps hinted at by your original request? Application of similar triangles shows that the U coordinate of the point of intersection is given by 1.31 * 1.37 * (14000 - 13680) / (1.37 * 14000 - 13680 * 1.31) and that the A coordinate is 14000 * ( 1 - U / 1.31) - where U is the U coordinate calculated above. You will see that these give the intersection point as A=9126, U=0.456. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] word count in impress
Hi all: I really don't know how count the words the programs that do it ... but to be sense, a word has to be a "character or group of characters that has meaning by it self" As this, a number has meaning by it self, the special character has meaning by it self, a ";" doesn't have a meaning by it self because it is a grammar character to input to reader takes a breath and change a little about the topic is going on in the paragraph. And so on. But if the program take for example ";" as a word because it is a character, it is wrong to consider a literal translation but in the context the translator it would be taken because he has to build the translation using it to make a meaning of the translate. I think, to clear this topic, it is necessary that the translator think how to take some characters like ";", and investigate with the programmers of each program like Writer and Gedit, how they make the algorithm to count to be sure that he is taken the right quantity when is using those programs to his job.

Hi Dennis and all: I suggest you to open the old Mac works file with LibreOffice and save then the spreadsheet as Calc format (.ods) and look if this new spreadsheet keeps show more columns than an usual Calc spreadsheet. Remember that all Calc spreadsheets has a 1024 columns (At least in my version of LibreOffice 4.2.8.2 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Create scan button?
Hi James and all: I suggest to use a Macro. If you don't know what it is, is a feature that LibreOffice has to automate the process. It usually run well but sometimes crash. To able you can follow this steps: 1) Menu-Tools-Options-Advanced: There Check box "Enable_Macro Recording" 2) Menu-Tools-Macros-Record Macro: There click and appear a "little box" that meaning that almost all that you do from this time in LibreOffice is recording. 3) After step 2), select Menu-Insert-Image-Scan-Request. Until this you did record those steps to scan. Now click Stop Recording button from "little box" 4) Now appear a windows dialog where you can record the macro with those step you were recording: Select My Macros --> Standard --> New Module--> Named as Scan --> Save --> and click accept to overwrite the main option there. 5) Now Menu-Tools-Macros-Organize Macros-LibreOffice: Appear a Dialog Window where you can see the Macros Library: There select My Macro-Standar and find the macro called "Scan" that you save before. 6) Select Scan Module and then select at right : Assign button 7) Appear new Dialog Window: Here, keep "Standard toolbar", and select Button Add 8) There appear a new dialog window where you can look again : My Macros - Standard. Select "Scan" macro and click Add button 9) Now you can see the "main" item in the list at top. With the arrows you can move to top or down the "main" item (This main item represent your macro where you record the steps. 10) Select "main" item and select Modify Button.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Software Exception error on Windows 7 with Libreoffice 6.0.2
Hi all: As I commented in a e-mail before, I'm updating document Getting Start 6.0 Chart 2 Setting Up. I requested information about Quickstarter because I didn't know how it function. Some answer clearing my dudes and help me my job. But now, with the information posted in the e-mail below, I'm confused again. Is true this information ? Is QuickStarter hasn't included on this document or only note that in Window 7 doesn't make any change or keep included as I already did ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] How can I reassign a macro to a custom toolbar button?
Hi Ptoye and all: At first, try to be more polite because almost all us are volunteers and collaborate as we can and all of us try to do better. As I understand, you can reassign a macro following this steps (Or solve your problem like this) : 1) Menu-Tools-Macros-Organize Macros-LibreOffice Basic (I use this because is the only programming language that I've used to make a macro and assign to a toolbar. I don't know if using other language is the same to do it.) 2) Select Assign icon to open a Dialog Window. There select Toolbars and click on "All Commands" option. Scroll down to find Macros and select it. 3) In the Chart Function, appear the places where your macros should be 4) Found what you need 5) Now, at right, you can see the Options bar (Default Standar), where you can select whatever toolbar existing in LibreOffice Calc. But now, select the + icon that it place at right of it. 6) Appear a Dialog Window where you can input a name ("MyTools" for example), to make a new toolbar where you can assign all your Macros or only some of them. Select too the place where it will be saved (Option below). 7) Now, select the macros that you previously found ( Chart Function -point 4 ), and with the Arrow to right move to new toolbar "MyTools" all the Macros that you want. 8) Click "Ok" and then Close the Window. In the area of the toolsbars (Top of your spreadsheet), below the two first default bar, you can find your new MyTools bar icons that each one run each macro assigned. 9) The last step is to eliminate the macros of the other toolbar where you had assigned some of the macros and where you couldn't find place for all of them. I hope you know how to do this to doesn't duplicate icons in your spreadsheets (Two bar of them with some same icons that do the same).

What you have suggested here - and many thanks for this - seems to be what I found out by myself: add new buttons and remove the old ones. This is a very long-winded way of going about it and I'm surprised that the designers didn't think of a more user-friendly way of reassigning. Your suggestion implies that they didn't.

Hi: Snap system is a Sandbox way to install now programs in many GNU / Linux distributions. It was develop by Canonical (Ubuntu) and put able for all the distributios want to use. It try to solve the problems of securities because as I understand the software installed by this way can't access nothing than the place where it is installed. Another benefits, it is easier to the own or develops of the programs to prepare software to offer updates to the users (less complicated). It benefits both sides. In this links you can find the repositorie of software prepare with Snap: https://snapcraft.io/store and here: https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice you can find LibreOffice as snap installation. Flatpak is other way that born, as I know, as the same time of Snap and has similar features, but to know what are all the difference between them, is necessary to googleing because I don't know all of them although I red a year ago, more less, an articule in the web about this topic. If you have problems with the Flatpak installation in GNU / Linux Mint, why not probe with the Snap option ?

[libreoffice-users] Great File size problem
Hi all: I use LibreOffice 6.1.1.2 Snap process and LibreOffice 6.0.6.2 Ubuntu 18.04.1 default. I tried recently to make a spreadsheet with both LibreOffice options and I had problems when the file reached more than specified size. In my case, the last size that I saw was 13.5 MB (512 columns and 8,000 rows, more or less) Then when I included more data into the file, suddently it can't be saved in any way, and lost all the content as I can see in the properties file because it had 35 kb instead 13.5 MB, but in the screen I could see the spreadsheet as nothing passed. With the file browser I could confirm the size : 35 kb. LibreOffice sent to my screen the following message (Please see the link) https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjvd4tuiz7p0m2w/Great%20File%20size%20-2018-09-24.png?dl=0 It is in spanish but in english is something like this: "Error when save the document: Sin titulo 1 Writing Error It couldn't write" I greatful with any help. It would be a bug ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Great File size problem
Hi Remy: Thank you for your answer an explanation. I'm sorry to answer some days after but the e-mail was in the spam folder. I know that I have only 1.5 GB free space on my hard disk. Probably it is the problem if LibreOffice make a temp file wile running it great than 1.5 GB when I'm increasing the spreadsheet size.
