[libreoffice-users] Business cards

[Daniel]

Just enquiring, can one instead of writing 4 business cards on one page,
(where they are all the same), creating each one differently but on the
same page?

You can use File > New > Label. That wizard has the ability to insert 
fields from a database. You can look through the list, whether a 
predefined size and layout exists, but it is likely, that you need to 
define your own card size and page layout manually. Don't worry, it is 
easy to do.


Kind regards

[libreoffice-users] Inconveniences of time format

[Gary Collins]

Hi


I've got a column in calc 4.3.2.2 to contain the length of video clips; it's 
formatted to Time>876613:37:46. 
  

The first inconvenience is that, when using autoincrement the times are 
incremented not by 1 second but by 24 hours. 
 

Whilst i understand that this is due to the way date/time is stored, with the 
date as integer and the time as fraction, i think it is not exactly intuitive. 
I feel that it might be much more convenient if LO would take the formatting 
into account and increment by 1 second (or, to be more precise, by 1 LSD  to 
the chosen format).


Similarly, when entering such times i think it would be more helpful to give 
precedence to the LSD, so entering 8, for example, would be interpreted as 8 
seconds (rather than 8 hours as is cuŕrently the case) and 8:40 as 8m40s. 
Again, this interpretation should be format dependent.
 

What does anyone else think?


Best
 
 
/Gary

+1 -- I don't understand why this is such a hard concept for folks to grasp
;-)

Also--if you must work both ways MS Office <--> LibreOffice,  export from MS
Office's native format  (OOXML) to ODF for work in LibreOffice. And then
send it back to MS Office in ODF from LibreOffice--not the filter based
export to OOXML.

ODF is the standard supported, not OOXML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx)

Once back in MS Office save to OOXML if you need to exchange with other MS
Office users.

Try it, you'll find it functional that way.  Less so if you try to send
OOXML back and forth.

I found that a whole lot of people suffer from the misconception that their
document files contain computer instructions. When I select a portion of
text, click the bold button and save the document then the file contains a
clear and unambiguous computer instruction that this portion of text has to
be painted in bold font.

EuroOffice 2015 for Windows and Linux can be found at
http://www.multiracio.com/index.php .
The page proclaims EuroOffice 2014, but if you click on it, it takes you
to the download page for EuroOffice 2015.

EuroOffice for Android can be found in the Google Play Store.

>a lot of naming confusions here

True.

However, it isn't as confusing as when the various localizations of OOo
offered different features and functions.

Turn off the hardware acceleration.

Tools -> Options -> View: Graphics Output  Turn off hardware acceleration.

Won't matter on a fast system, but will have smother transitions--and,
depending on your GPU and driver some of the OpenGL transistions may not
work.

Another possibility, if you are using linux, is glabels. I use it for 
spice jar labels and have many different labels on one sheet.

   to what are you referring?.

  if you attached something, this list does not accept so it would
have been deleted,

  if you are referring to the erroneous WIN10, this list is for LO

[libreoffice-users] **Bug** in 5.0.2 Impress

[4bf5c083]

Just recently upgraded to 5.0.2 from 4.4.? and presentations that I 
created in 4.4.? which had Fade-in slide animations are plagued with a 
slide flicker. The flicker is a split second flash of the previous slide 
at the end of the transition.  This makes it completely unusable.


I thought it might be an issue with incompatibility between the older 
version fade-in and the newer one, so I removed the fade-in slide 
transition from the original and re-created the transition with the new 
version FadeSmoothly. The new version has the same problem.I have tested 
many of the transitions and the flicker appears using Fine Dissolve, 
Fade Through Black, Fade Smoothly, Rochade, Turn around, Turn down– 
there maybe others that I have not tested but these are for sure.


Has anyone else seen this problem?
