good to know, especially about the '3rd-party code'.

makes sense the gui would be in java so it can run on various 
platforms.


I don't however foresee myself invoking the gui unless I'm working off 
of Windows or something.


I'll look but I bet there's a command-line version for Windows too.

Hi.
It would also help if you could also tell us what is your database

I do hope some one can walk me through this. Many thanks.

In LibreOffice Writer go to Tools->Options

Click on the Java section and then tick the box marked 'Use a Java
runtime environment' and select the one you want to use from the list below.

Click on OK and you should be done. You may need to restart Libreoffice
writer for this to take effect.

Regards,
Tony.

Yes.

Yes there are free web hosting services, depending what you really want 
and need.


But, if you want to have as domain name pointing to that web page/site, 
you may have much fewer free hosting options.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Book on Styles & Templates in LibreOffice

[Marc Paré]

Le 13/04/13 01:39 AM, Jean Weber a écrit :

Friends of OpenDocument, Inc. has signed a contract with Bruce Byfield to
write a book that I and some other members of the Docs team have talked
about for years but no one has come forth to write. (Despite announcing a
year or two ago that I had started work on it, I never found the time to
continue.) See Bruce's blog entry for more information.

http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/I-ve-signed-to-write-an-advanced-book-on-LibreOffice

I am now looking for people to review individual chapters or the whole book
as they are written over the next six months or so. Please contact me if
you're interested. We need both technical reviewers (people who know enough
to tell whether Bruce has got it right) as well as non-technical reviewers
(who can tell whether Bruce's explanations make sense to the uninitiated).

--Jean Hollis Weber
Documentation Team Leader



Congrats to all of you! Maybe someone could post the blog on our own 
blog to add some "buzz" around it. There will obviously be many people 
interested in hearing of the news.


Cheers,

Marc

[libreoffice-users] Calc does not remember formatting

[William Drago]

All,

I am using LO 4.0.2.2 on Windows 7.

In Calc when I format cells so that negative numbers are red 
they won't be red next time I open the spreadsheet. The only 
way to make them red again is to recalculate those cells. Of 
course, when I save and re-open the spreadsheet the 
formatting is gone again.


Thanks,
-Bill
