Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?
Hi :) It might be interesting to ask the same question in a few other places, although some places might need options such as i don't use office software often or using the names of the equivalents in KOffice/Caligra. I wonder if a proper vote thing could be set-up easily on the Apache OpenOffice forums and/or the Ask LO forum. It still wouldn't be a proper indication as people could vote again on each different place. Still it would give a larger population froma slightly more diverse group(s). Don't worry about having gone against most of the respondants. It's important that we kinda take it in turns to push boundaries as it helps us be a more rounded community. It is good that each person here makes a difference. Regards from Tom :) On 18 May 2014 22:50, Tom Cloyd tomcloydm...@gmail.com wrote: I was simply concerned to grab an opportunity to educate.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Issue install on a a Dell
Hi :) There are tons of unofficial sites, repos and magazine Cds/Dvds that offer great bundles or pure versions of LibreOffice. it's very rare to find any that create any kind of problem at all. The only thing is that since you have found a problem it would be nice to try re-downloading from somewhere we are familiar with and maybe even able to have some kind of control over. Cley's point is good about checking the installer to ensure it's not been corrupted somewhere along it's route. if it does turn out to be a 3rd party error then they have probably done it unwittingly and just need someone to write in to them and let them know so they can fix it. It's more likely to be a home/small(ish)-office router that needs rebooting or wiifi that needs a more line-of-sight position. Checkign the hash-values sounds a lot scarier and more complex than it really is. I use a calculator to take 1 value away from the other and hopefully get zero showing everything is fine.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to clone a document, including outline numbering?
Hi :) The problem with that way is that a ton of excess coding might be saved right along with everything else. I suspect the o.p. is trying to clean-up a document. Maybe not though in which case your way is really simple and very quick. When people send me stuff for my company's (well my boss's company) newsletter is just paste everything in as unformatted text and then use styles to make it fit in better. Occasionally i go in and apply direct formatting to make numbered lists or bullet-points look right but mostly i don't bother and that makes the whole thing look more consistent internally. I jazz it up a bit with images but mostly the aim seems to be to make it look boring.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Generating a odt file
Hi :) Is xml a standarised struture? I thought that each implementation allowed radical differences. Isn't it similar to css where definitions happen in the header section, or even in a completely different file or maybe even hard-coded into an app? If xml is standarised as an ISO format then surely there wouldn't be much need for standisations of the various implementations, such as MS's in their OOXML? Do you have to use Freemaker? It is possible to use LO in headless mode so that it can run from a command line and perform repetitive actions on a number of files without opening them in the usual gui. I dunno what Freemaker does so i could easily be wrong here which is why i am just asking if. Regards from Tom :) On 19 May 2014 12:41, Daniel A.

Hi :) Still, it's always good to give the simplest answers jic that really was all you wanted.

Also it gets it out of the way and lets you know that your message has been received by a live audience rather than vanished into the ether.

About how that might actually be a benefit despite being possibly mislabelled as a 'dis'ability. Sure, for some people it is too extreme and may be crippling or maybe it's still a benefit for a lucky few who maybe worked hard to make the most of it. Many of us have tiny amounts of it and even that is sometimes just enough to set us outside of mainstream society. At the end of the week i unwisely went to a pub with a friend who started pointing out some of my eccentricities and physically held onto me to prevent me from leaving. Errr she's quite a hot chick so it wasn't all bad and when we go out i try to realise that almost all the glances and stares we get are because of her. Just before disappearing inside myself i looked around to reassure myself that everyone around me was different in their ways but found just a sea of white faces and all dressed in a very similar way to each other = nothing like me nor like almost any friend. I'm guessing there are a lot of people here who feel 'outside' of mainstream society for at least 1 reason or other. Here on the list i feel safe because no-one can judge any one else on such randomness as skin colour. Do other people here feel like they are outside of a mainstream society in a way that might show up in a photo or face-to-face? I think in a photo i might look too mainstream. A static 2 dimensional image often misses a lot of the character of a person. Would it be good to collect a bunch of photos that show us using LibreOffice? Maybe focussing mostly on the screen but enough of a hint of you or a friend that the photo gives an impression of someone interesting. On the other hand maybe it is best that we stick with the images we have of each other in our minds-eye? I like the idea of a montage of different users so that almost anyone looking at the montage might recognise something of themselves in one or more of the people in the montage. If you email photos to me privately i might be able to get a local artist to put it together. I would avoid naming names unless you specifically tell me to include it. The term 'mainstream' is quite flexible and might be very different in some countries or amongst some cultures. If we look at the photos used in our marketing then simply wearing a suit would make you stand out and it might be good to see that sort of thing mixed in too.

RE: [libreoffice-users] How to clone a document, including outline numbering?
The solution I adopted is I created separate files with the outline format I want (I have 4 files with different formats). I made the outline as deep as possible so I wouldn't have to update the format. When I am creating a new document I copy and paste the outline into the new document and then delete the extraneous material. It is cumbersome but it works for me.

When setting up outline numbering, I find myself putting some settings in my styles and others in the outlining through Tools Outline Numbering. Then the Outlining overrides my styles. Then if I try to change a setting, something else changes. Sometimes I feel like I'm putting together a spring-loaded toy and trying to keep it all together without it all going, Sproin!

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to clone a document, including outline numbering?
Jeff, Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

I made the outline as deep as possible so I wouldn't have to update the format. When I am creating a new document I copy and paste the outline into the new document and then delete the extraneous material. It is cumbersome but it works for me.

I don't think it is controlled by paragraph styles. It's controled by settings in Tools Outline numbering. And stored in a document / template, but indeed not in styles. Yes, that's how I understand it, and I think that's where I get frustrated.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Capitalizing Similar to Sentence Structure for Fields
@Joel, *, Spent some time with it, not possible. A valid enhancement request. Responded on the bug report... Stuart From: Joel Madero jmadero@gmail.com Sent: Monday, May 19, 2014 10:22 AM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] Capitalizing Similar to Sentence Structure for Fields Hi All, Bug report says that it's not possible to insert a field and capitalize like a sentence (ie. first word capitalized, everything else not). Can someone take a look at this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76463list_id=424995 and tell me if it's currently possible. It seems like it is but I figured I'd go to the user list and ask to see if anyone knows how. If so can you list the steps (either to me, or on the bug report) on how to accomplish this.
