Re: [libreoffice-users] profiles
Hi :) When you install a new version of LibreOffice it usually picks up on your old user-profile. It's only when you go from 3.x.x to 4.x.x that a new profile is created. So the macro should have been automatically picked up by the new install. That is part of the whole point of User Profiles = that a new install picks up all your configurations and settings. So, i don't know what has gone wrong. It might be worth exploring the path to your user-profile to see if you have somehow been given a new one. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Regards from Tom :) On 14 October 2014 00:18, Tim Lloyd tim.ll...@gmx.com wrote: Hi, There are often suggestions here for people to rename their profile to allow a new, clean, version to be created.

Re: [libreoffice-users] profiles
Usually, moving/renaming profiles is very scarcely done, only in case something goes wrong. Most of the time LibreOffice do a good job of updating it. Anyway, most of the actual content of the profile (macro, template, and other stuff) can either directly be saved outside of it, and even if it's not, each file/directory can be moved around without trouble. The only thing that is quite hard to extract (and usually, the cause of issue) is the registryModifications.xcu file, which contain almost all custom configuration. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2014-10-14 1:18 GMT+02:00 Tim Lloyd tim.ll...@gmx.com: Hi, There are often suggestions here for people to rename their profile to allow a new, clean, version to be created.

[libreoffice-users] parallel text in side by side pages
Is there is technical solution to running parallel text in side by side pages (the best example would be a text with a translation where you have the original on one page and the translation on the facing page.

I don't think columns works for this, as text in the first column flows to the next column on the same page, not to the same column on another page.

In fact, you could get away with doing this for just one set of pages, perhaps putting frames into all the right pages and linking them all together in a chain. Your left and right page text would then flow as you need. You might find this as tedious as having all those manual page breaks, but it has the advantage that as you edit the text, the two streams will flow naturally between their respective pages. Here's another thought. How about creating two separate documents and printing them both single-sided as separate print runs on the same stack of paper? You could display both documents together on the screen whilst you were editing them. There may be neater solutions. I'm thinking vaguely of setting a page size to represent a double-page spread, using a two-column table, and somehow getting it to print across two pages - so one column appears on each page. But I'm not sure how ... I trust this helps.

I think that page styles will do it. Open an untitled document in Writer. Use the F4 key to open the Styles and Formating Window. Click the Page Styles icon at the top of this window. Double click First Page from the lists of page styles to apply this style to the page. Then right click First Page and select Modify from the context menu. Change the Next Style property to Left Page. Click OK. This should do it. Enter the original text on the left pages and the translations on the right pages. The reason this works is because of styles. They insure that each left page is followed by a right page which is followed by a left page... Writer is designed to begin with the first page on the right, so you need the First Page to fulfill this need. From then on the left and right pages will follow correctly. (No page breaks are needed.) In the bottom right corner of the Writer window are three icons of pages. The one of the right is the one you should click if it is not highlighted. This places two pages in the window beginning with a right page first followed by a left right page combination.

Re: [libreoffice-users] parallel text in side by side pages
a quick top note ... yes, being able to use a Master Doc such that two files can be displayed at the same time on facing pages might well solve my problem, but frankly I can't figure out how to manage that I don't think columns works for this, as text in the first column flows to the next column on the same page, not to the same column on another page. You'd use a two-column table to display parallel material on single pages, I think. (I do.) They can -- you can run columns in parallel and then just pour the two different sets of text into two different columns and then just break the flow as necessary. One possible technique is to use linked frames. You could put a page-sized frame into each page (anchored to the page) and then link appropriate frames together. In fact, you could get away with doing this for just one set of pages, perhaps putting frames into all the right pages and linking them all together in a chain. Your left and right page text would then flow as you need. You might find this as tedious as having all those manual page breaks, but it has the advantage that as you edit the text, the two streams will flow naturally between their respective pages. That is an intriguing idea -- unfortunately the docs suggest that the linked frames have to all be manually created and anchored, so yes, this is almost as much trouble as alternating the text, though it does offer the benefits... I guess I might want to do the same thing on the facing page though it would not be necessary just to maintain style consistency between the treatments. I there a way to automate an anchorage frame in a new page by a page style? That way I could create a new subdoc with that style, add pages, link frame and pour in the text files into their respect frames Here's another thought.

[libreoffice-users] date acceptance patterns not sticking
Libreoffice is driving me nuts. I am in Canada. UI is set to English US; Locale settings to English Canada and Default Currency is CAD. I have my Mac set dates to dd.mm.. (OSX 10.9.x) For some reason Libreoffice (4.3.1.2) will only accept dates in the -MM-DD format.

Choose Page Styles from the icons (hover with your pointer on each icon to open the note). Double-click on First Page for assigning the First Page style to the first page of your document. 4. Place the cursor at the end of the first page. Select Insert-Manual Break from the menu bar. 5. Select Page Break. Then choose the style to use for the next page (pick one from the menu - such as Default). Then mark the check box called Change page number. In the box below this check box the number 1 should appear. Click OK. 6. Now you should have two pages. Put the cursor in the second page, then select Insert-Footer-Default from the menu bar. A footer area will appear on the second page. 7. To insert the page number, select: Insert-Fields-Page Numbers.

The ending was the same as other .xls files but i gather that they usually use .slk instead. Saving as .ods dropped file-sizes from 86-90 Kb down to under 20 Kb. Renaming the file-ending to .zip showed both looking almost identical. The contents.xml didn't get colour-coded by GEdit even when i switched between different mark-up interpreters.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice forks
Hi :) I don't know of one. Also i doubt it'd be fully comprehensive. Part of the point of OpenSource is that anyone can take and modify the program for their own private use, or for their company, or whatever. If people keep it private then we might not ever hear about it. Forks that i know of are; * Neo Office - for Macs, costs money but now that LIbreOffice works on Macs i'm not sure if it's still being developed * Go-oo - for various distros such as Ubuntu, openSuSE but this got re-merged into LibreOffice main branch * Lotus Symphony - by IBM but they gave a huge code donation to Apache OpenOffice so i'm not sure if it's still being developed as an independent program There are tons of other programs and suites that use the same formats natively or as an option (even not counting the 1 company that seems to have trouble implementing the format). It'd be easier to get a list of those programs office-suites.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer 4.6.2.3 Failure With Word Document
Hi :) The macros are very specific to that 1 specific version of MS Office. To use the file in MSO 2007 or 2013 or 365 then you might need to have the macro rewritten. If you had them rewritten for LibreOffice then you probably wouldn't ever need to rewrite them again, except to add improvements or the fairly rare times that a relevant bit of functionality got completely rewritten in a different way. Is there any chance of posting the macro's code into an email for this public mailing list to have a look at? People sometimes have suggestions about what might need to be changed or even some coding suggestions sometimes! When Writer crashes it used to often be due to Java. Is it possible to turn java off for a bit? Tools - Options - Advanced/Java and then untick the box that enables java in LibreOffice. If the program grumbles about it then you can always switch it back on the same way. Another possibility is the memory settings Tools - Options - Memory and just ramp everything up quite a lot. Maybe not the number of steps you can take back but the amount of ram per object and the total ram allowed for the whole document seem like good ones to increase!

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice forks

Offhand, the only programs I can think of are: * NeoOffice; * AndroOpenOffice; * EuroOffice; * LibreOffice; * Apache Open Office; Lotus Symphony was rolled into Apache OpenOffice. I don't think it exists as a separate program anymore. GoOo was rolled into LibreOffice. I don't think it exists as a separate program anymore; I don't know what the status of RedOffice is. The other forks I am aware of, have either been abandoned, or rolled back into either LibO, or AOo. I suspect that there were a number of forks that never got on anybody's radar: * CD/DVD only distribution as budget software; * Vector software for Trojan droppers; * SoHo support companies that rebranded the software, to preserve their contract/business model; * Instant download vendors; jonathon -- Your documents.
