Hi :) It is only the internal HSqlDb back-end that loses data. If you get the proper HSqlDb from their website then it works completely fine. It's designed to be extremely fast for fairly tiny databases, like almost any address book. So, it's only Base that loses data. Outside of LibreOffice

Hi :) Congrats on this and many thanks for letting all of us know about it!! I still think that Rtf is well worth avoiding if at all possible but sadly a whole load of people fell for MS's marketing. Even to this day there are people who believe in using it, despite the findings of the court

I edit a community magazine using LibreOffice Writer. I create a PDF from the final version, which I send electronically to the printing company, which prints the PDF. To create the PDF, I use the settings Lossless compression and do not reduce image resolution. The resulting PDF is usually in
