Re: [libreoffice-documentation] libreoffice writer guide
Hi :) Usually find LibreOffice in the menus. On WIndows pre-Win8 try "Start" button - "All Programs" - LibreOffice Most other OSes have something similar. Not quite sure about Macs. Is there a particular need for using the command-line to start LibreOffice or was it just difficult to find in the menus?

Thanks, Jean, soffice (here, at work, on Ubuntu) gives you something which enables you to choose among Writer, Spreadsheet, etc. The other commands you mention aren't recognized. Re switches, there seems to be no man page for soffice, in the Ubuntu distribution (package libreoffice-common, Version: 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu5) regards, Jeremy On 24/02/14 12:15, Jean Weber wrote: > > I think the commands are soffice, swriter, scalc, etc, with various > switches as for OOo, but I'm not anywhere that I can easily look it up > right now. > > Clayton, or someone else on this list, may have more info handy. > > --Jean > > > On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 3:01 PM, Jeremy Dawson > wrote: >> >> Hi Jean, >> >> Yes, starting from a command line.

The docs cannot go into the specifics for each distro, or we'd be here for years just trying to cover all the variations. The Linux install instructions in the LibreOffice documentation does cover how to install the generic LibreOffice from the downloaded bundle (RPM/DEB)... but that's not what you're doing if you're using yum to do the install on Fedora 20. When you installed with "yum install libreoffice-writer", you didn't install all of libreoffice. For Fedora, from command line, you need to use: yum install libreoffice This is the top level that should pull in the minimum dependencies for LibreOffice (note that it's libreoffice not libreoffice-writer). I don't have my Fedora 20 up and running at the moment... I can't remember if this installs the Gnome/KDE integration for you (depending on which window manager you are using). Assuming all went well, LibreOffice should be available in your menus. If not, you can launch from command line using: soffice (Note: You may also be able to use "libreoffice" on the command line to launch LibreOffice... this should work on most distros... "soffice" though should always work) Clayton -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+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/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-documentation] libreoffice writer guide
I think the commands are soffice, swriter, scalc, etc, with various switches as for OOo, but I'm not anywhere that I can easily look it up right now. Clayton, or someone else on this list, may have more info handy. --Jean On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 3:01 PM, Jeremy Dawson wrote: > Hi Jean, > > Yes, starting from a command line.

The first thing you need to tell everyone is what operating system are you trying to launch it on? Linux? Windows? OSX? And how did you download/install it?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] libreoffice writer guide
Not sure about your question. Do you mean starting from a command line? If so, which platform? Usually, on any platform, it's started in the graphical user interface, and the many ways to do that are described in Chapter 1 of the Getting Started book, if they are not in Chapter 1 of the Writer Guide. --Jean On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 4:47 AM, Jeremy Dawson wrote: > I have made quite a considerable effort looking in this documentation for > the command to start libreoffice.

I have made quite a considerable effort looking in this documentation for the command to start libreoffice. And I cannot find it. How to use libreoffice once I have got it started is not much use if I can't start it. What it the command to start it, please?
