[libreoffice-users] Moving and copying table rows
Dear LibreOffice Community: First of all, thank you so much for opening the gates to improve the open-source office suite to far greater an extent than OpenOffice.org or even Go-OO could ever do. Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place, but I believe that somebody will be able to finally solve a problem with Writer that has persisted through all versions of OOo and LibreOffice until now, and for just as long has been the default behavior on many word processors, including Microsoft Word and AbiWord.The problem is basically that table rows are not deleted when using the Edit -- Cut command, nor are they added when clicking Edit -- Paste. I suggest that people read Mike Freeman's original description of the problem, which is issue #35570 on the bug tracker, and test it out on the scenario I have provided on the self same bug report. Also check out related OOo bug #13645 on Apache. Two workarounds and when they do not work: 1. Select rows to cut using Table -- Select -- Rows, Edit -- Cut, place cursor in position before place where you want to paste rows, Table -- Insert -- Rows, How many? Number of rows you have cut, select After, click OK, select newly inserted rows using Table -- Select -- Rows, Edit -- Paste. This method does not work for people who are not good at counting, especially double-counting rows split across pages. 2. Place cursor after the last character in the last cell of the rightmost column before the first row of data you want to paste, click Table -- Split Table, place cursor after last character you want to cut, select Split Table, select new paragraph containing newly split rows, Edit -- Cut, place cursor after last character before paste position, click Table -- Split Table, move cursor outside table at new split point, click Edit -- Paste. This method will result in a table that is still split from the main table on at least one side, and it will be very difficult (but not impossible) to delete the paragraph breaks to rejoin the tables. I have tried everything possible to make actual developers aware of this issue. This message is my last resort. I hope that I can find somebody who would be willing to create a patch for this.

[libreoffice-users] Unable to install LibreOffice 3.4.3
I am unable to install LibreOffice version 3.4.3. Below is the procedure I have taken to install 3.4.3 and the problems I have encounted. 1. Download LibreOffice from www.libreoffice.org/download/ The file is called LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe (this is the multilanguage installer for English) 2. When you double click the file it will expand the files in a folder usually placed on the desktop. It is better not to change the position of this folder. 3. At the end of the decompression, the install procedure starts with Welcome to the guided LibreOffice 3.4 installation (words might be slightly different, as I see the windows in Italian because I have an Italian Windows system). 4. The next window asks to insert your name and organization. 5. The next window you can choose from Default and Customized install (I always choose Customized). 6. The next window allows me to choose the components: I install all LibreOffice modules, while I choose inside Optional Components the dictionaries and the extensions I want to install. I usually do not install any of the Additional Languages. 7. The next window allows to set LibreOffice as the default application for MS Office files. 8. The next windows starts the installation procedure proper. 9. At the end, you can delete the folder on the desktop with the install files, as they are not necessary. Steps 1 and 2 accomplished without any problem. Step 3 -- When I click on the .exe file I am offered a folder located on the desktop into which the .exe file will be expanded prior to the installation proceeding. I am also offered the opportunity to change that location and name of the folder if I want to. This is where problems begin to happen -- ~ If I change the location or folder name into which the .exe file expands -- then This is what happens -- At the end of the decompression, the install procedure starts with a very quick installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 and then immediately drops down to step 8 and proceeds to install LibreOffice.

This can occur if the windows Installer is not correctly installed.

Then steps 3 through 8 as before ending with the same Error message 1719 as before. ~~ Ar this point I saw that I was going around in circles and achieving nothing so I resorted to a previous OS Image (I use Macrium Reflect on a monthly basis) to remove all traces of LibreOffice until the problems are fixed. I have installed the Official LibreOffice Portable onto a memory stick and it works well, but slow, so I presume that the installer program is at fault. I have Installed other programs on Windows 7 64bit Home premium without any problems so I am reluctant to suspect that the OS is at fault. I do not know where to report this as a bug. (Two bugs in fact) I have gone back to using OpenOffice version 3.3.0 until this problem can be fixed. Searching Google for error 1719 gives a lot of reading but no answers not even from MS sites.

I would like to be able to create an alias so that I can type mean() and it will use the average() function. It might be possible to write a macro for MEAN, but the effort is huge. To get a true alias you need to mimic the possibility to have up to 30 optional parameters where each parameter can be a cell range. It is much easier to remember to use AVERAGE when you get a #NAME? error. The effort is small in the code. But in that case you need to build your own LibreOffice or convince the community that such an alias is useful and has no side effects and find a developer.

[libreoffice-users] Fw: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB in Athens, Greece -- 11-13 Nov 2011
Hi :) MariaDb is an excellent back-end for Base and we might be able to build up the team that is working on Base by building up some sort of relationship with them. MariaDB is to MySql as LibreOffice is to OpenOffice except that MySql is still owned Oracle so the relationship is not particularly friendly. It is developing faster than MySql was allowed to. It has almost all the original MySql people including the original people that started MySql in the first place. It is a drop-in replacement for MySql. MariaDb is a good back-end for corporate or large organisations that need a decent and hefty back-end. It's probably a lot heftier than small clubs or individuals need for a little Contacts Mail-Merge List. The MySql connector seems to work well with it.

Hi :) I have not done it either but i have seen comments here from people that have used MariaDb and/or MySql. It would be great to get some MariaDb people in here to write-up how to use MariaDb. They might need some help with using Base as a front-end although a lot of them are very experienced with database apps and might only need a gentle nudge or 2. If a few worked on stream-lining the Base code to work more smoothly with their back-end then maybe Base could work with databases on hefty websites. There is huge potential here.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB in Athens, Greece -- 11-13 Nov 2011
Hi :) The documentation team do have a person or 2 trying to work on Base documentation but it's slow going and tough work. Base is quite quirky with apparently some problems being different in different releases. Even though there have not been many commits to the code base there do seem to be a few people working on the code, again it's tough work and not as fast paced or glamorous as the other apps, such as Writer or Calc. Also the Faq that is being translated from the excellent French one seems to have a section waiting to be added about Base. The various different people that work on different aspects of Base can't really communicate with each other as there is no list dedicated to Base so it's difficult to build-up any community spirit. However, the situation seems a lot better than it did a few months ago although we still need to pull in a lot more people that have experience and understanding of databases.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Moving and copying table rows
I know. One of my original points was that I was trying to get developers to read and make changes to bug # https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35570 35570 , which describes a situation that has existed for the history of LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org. I should have been more succinct, I guess. Hi :) It might be a good idea to post a bug-report against LO http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport LibreOffice devs probably prioritise LO bugs and seem to be able to work more effectively than in other projects. The Go-OO team are one of the core parts of TDF.

RE: [libreoffice-users] MS font exploit
There are two microsoft.com pages that relate to this situation. The problem is that the exploit happens against the kernel (in GDI, etc.) so there is not much to do about it in any applications. The knowledge-base KB article is the most helpful in terms of mitigation. Any application that handles its own TrueType font handling by other than the Windows call that accomplish font handling and rendering need to look to see if they have any vulnerability in their parser. This also applies to any non-Windows support for TrueType fonts that run on the same architectures as Windows. There's not enough public information to know what to look for. I expect that there is cross-platform cooperation at the security-team levels on this one. Meanwhile, the only remedy at the moment is to apply the workarounds that apply to Windows. Here is what I can discern from the sketchy information: 1. The exploit requires a specially-crafted TrueType Font package. 2. The vulnerability is exploited when such a font is parsed as part of rendering of any presentation using the Windows internal support TrueType fonts. 3. There is a fix available at the knowledge base article. It *appears* in my non-expert reading to prevent use of the intrinsic support for embedded fonts, since this a potentially-appealing avenue of attack via specially-crafted documents. Fixes to close that door, and to reopen it later, are available at the KB article. I suspect that the workaround has no impact on LO and OO.o operability, although I guess the thing to do is turn on the workaround and see for sure. I'm going to do that as soon as I do some system backups first. - Dennis E.

[libreoffice-users] Re: MS font exploit
Hi :) That seems to list all the supported versions/distros of Windows but doesn't included unsupported ones such as Win98. Does that mean Win98 is safe or just that they don't bother to look to see if it's vulnerable? Tbh my interest suddenly dropped away when i found that LO is safe even if we read a doc file in it and creating doc files is still safe too in LO. I'm a little worried about the works machines especially after the work i have put in these last 2 weeks but if they suffer because of using MS Office then it might encourage them to move to LO and that would be fine by me. The problem would be if the machines got infected right after me working on updating everything and installing weird stuff such as LO. If LO prevents the machine itself getting infected that is one good thing but if it inadvertently passes infections on then the wrong people, ie LO users, might start getting the blame for something that is not their/our fault. Of course they/we would also be passing it on if we were using MS Office but at least we would have had more warning about it as our machines got infected. Hmmm, this whole lack of security in MS products really creates a lot of weird blame issues.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Moving and copying table rows
Hi Stuart, Stuart Simon wrote (05-11-11 08:45) First of all, thank you so much for opening the gates to improve the open-source office suite to far greater an extent than OpenOffice.org or even Go-OO could ever do. Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place, I think it is perfectly right to post here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, concerns... [ snipped description of problem ] I have tried everything possible to make actual developers aware of this issue. This message is my last resort. I hope that I can find somebody who would be willing to create a patch for this. Submitting a bug, as Tom wrote, is a first step. That however does not mean that developers are automatically interested in this. I guess it is not at all a trivial thing to add. Already the energy that is needed to discuss the right solution from UX pov... So it would be my expectation that developers get particularly interested when there is someone (company..) interested in sponsoring the development. That is the freedom that this software brings us: when we are not able to add somthing our selves, we can always find others that have the time to do so. I don't write this to discourage you. It is more about expectations and reality. Of course it is well possible to help, once someone shows interest, with designing details, testing etc. And also, in the LibreOffice community, the possibility for relatively new developers to get started, to send in patches, to find guidance etc. is really great. I hope this makes both sense and things a bit more clear.

While it's a good idea to do a full parallel install, it's not necessary
in this case. The OP has LO 3.3 from his package manager, so all that he
actually needs to do is download the .deb packages, extract, install,
and before starting LO, modify the bootstraprc script to reflect a
different profile location. This is what I use for 3.4:
$ cat /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc
[Bootstrap]
BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR}
InstallMode=installmode
ProductKey=LibreOffice 3.4
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice3.4/3
[ErrorReport]
ErrorReportPort=80
ErrorReportServer=
$ gksu gedit /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc
will do the job if on GNOME, kdsdudo whatever KDE uses in place of
gedit will do the same.
Note that I've modified the profile location to '/.libreoffice3.4/3'.
That way the 3.4 profile won't interfere with the Ubuntu default of
'/.libreoffice/3'. I use 3.4 as I also have other LO versions
installed in /opt (3.3 etc).

Can you install 3.4 alongside 3.3 in Linux (Ubuntu 11.04 in my case). I

want to purge 3.3 until I am sure 3.4 works.

[libreoffice-users] name-define-edit causes crash in LO Calc v3.4.3
Context: in Calc of LO v3.4.3 on Windows XP Pro. I I record my checkbook into Calc. Four columns are, Check #, Debit$, Credit$, Balance. Each month adds about 40 rows (checks and other transactions) to the columns. At the end of each month some of the transactions have not yet cleared the into my bank statement. I have a named range, outstanding checks, which spans these uncleared items. There are, say, 10 items in this range. In October, for example, outstanding checks is $A1:$D9. At the end of November I want to redefine outstanding checks to be, say, $A31:$D40. The named range outstanding checks is used in links in other related spreadsheet files. It is necessary to have this name remain constant. What fails: Insert | Names | Define: brings up Define Names dialog; Initially, in the Define Names dialog, Scope=Global, Name=empty, Listbox contains my outstanding checks, Assigned To is greyed out. Click on outstanding checks in the listbox; Assigned To becomes active and shows the currently defined $A1:$D9. Observe that the button Add becomes relabeled to Modify. Ignoring, in this first case, the Modify button: Click into the Assigned To box. Type in the edits to rewrite $A1:$D9 to $A31:$D40. Click button OK. LO Calc crashes. Every time. Upon restart LO Calc does file recovery. Recovery is successful. Range is still defined as the original $A1:$D9. Alternate GUI method: Click Modify button to initiate the same edit. Same crash behavior. Other info: OOo v3.3.0 (the last version I used prior to LO) performs this op successfully; that is, the manually typed redefinition is accepted and behaves properly. Workaround: Create a newly named defined range each month. For example, outstanding checks October; outstanding checks November, etc. However... The named range is used in other Calc sheets files to report on each month. The linkages in those target files must be similarly edited. Pain! I did an amateur's search of Bugzilla prior to writing this. Hundreds of define results but not on this AFAIK. If no clues come from Users forum I will post as new bug. Regards -- David S.

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
I have been offline, think near hospital stay illness, since just after I posted this list. So I have gotten back to answering the replies. Thanks for Tom to give the help/hint on installing the file to Windows. The .zip issue was due to the Extension Center for LO and a Mime-type error with the file storage. So my original one I had in the test version of the center was redone as an externally hosted file till that issue is resolved. The links I used for the initial post came directly from a dictionary list on my domain, http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html not the LO Extension Center. fewer words I opened the word lists with each word on a separate line, like needed. Then I did a line count with a text editor. I had to have a proper count for the words, for the system to use the file[s] correctly. Unlike some lists that use controls at the end of words helping with suffix word forms, the lists I use does not have them. The suffix control version my take less space but would take more processing power to do the adding of the suffixes, plurals, possessive forms, etc., over that of a straight list that include all the word forms. I used the counts from the package to give the actual number of spellings in the list[s] as my number of words. The largest of the American lists is 638,644 words and for British 638,285 words. I could give you the word counts for all the lists I have, including the one for 217K words, but it is not needed, or is it? Last time I did a dictionary spelling project at a college, the total number of words was over 177K. It used the suffix control method to fit as many words in the rom memory chips as possible. Actually that was when IBM Compatible desktop computers were in the 286 CPU stage. Now there are over 600K word lists. The issue of actual fewer words could be there are words that are not included based upon if that spelling is used in American English or British English. I have seen some words that are spelled a way or two that I did not expect, but are proper according to the sources I have. I did not create the lists from scratch. They are from a source I trust. The real thing I am looking for help with is what you, the users, would like to have for an English spelling dictionary. I could test them out hours, days, weeks, months, etc., but it would be with my use and needs. I want others to decide if it is useful for THEM. I choose the 217K word list version as a starting ground. I may, for my personal use, go back down to the 98K size word list version. I would like to know what you think? Would you prefer the 50K, 98K, 217K, or larger word list for an English spelling dictionary for LibreOffice. If I could unlock the default one, I would for my testings. As far as I remember, the included default English en_US or en_GB had about 50K words in its US and GB word lists. I could actually check if needed. So please let me know what you think. What size of word lists would you like? I have been talking to Tom on and off about a larger word count dictionary for LO/OOo for some months. I just decided it was time to get my feet wet again. The funny thing I saw in an older word list, once, was one that did not have the word dictionary in it at all. If I still could remember my basic C programming, I would write a program comparing the different word lists to see which words are not common, but after 3 strokes I have not programmed such a package in many years. Actually a few months after the last stroke.

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
webmaster: Possibly a convenient language for comparing the word lists would be Python. --- Python has a data structure dict (dictionary, hashtable, associative array). --- Python has a data structure set. If you wish, I can email you short, working, example code.
