[libreoffice-users] Installation of 5.0.3.2 on new Windows 10 laptop: bullets missing

[Stephan Petersen]

Hi guys,

I installed LO 5.0.3.2 on new Windows 10 laptop (immediately upgraded 
from 8.1 to 10 after purchase) the other day. When I loaded some of my 
ODT and ODP documents, I noticed that the bullets in lists are missing 
or unwanted characters are used.


Looking at the "Formats|Bullet and Numbering..." shows the attached dialog.

Any idea what's going on? Should the LO installer contain some 
additional fonts that are not already present on a new Windows 10 
laptop? Is it necessary to install additional fonts manually?


Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Stephan

[libreoffice-users] Base: create form wizard sub-form error

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I am using LibreOffice Base 4.4.3.2 on 64 bit Linux with a PostgreSQL DB.

I have a hierarchy of tables such that:

Table A
Table B (many B to one A relationship with Table A)
Table C (many C to one B relationship with Table B)
and so on...
Table E


I am trying to use the Form Wizard to create a form that allows the user to
edit tables A and B only.

I enter the Form Wizard, select Table A, include all fields, and press next.

I then select Add Subform.  The system displays the expected Table B.  I
select Subform based on existing relation for that table, and click next.

Then, on the "Select the fields of your subform" screen it has Table E
pre-selected and grayed.  It also shows the columns for Table E.

1.  Table E has no columns that directly relate to Table A (or B).

2.  In the prior screen, Table B was correctly identified and selected.

I have no idea why it is selecting Table E, and I have no way to change the
selection since the combobox is grayed out.

Sure appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Blake McBride

That sounds like a bug. As you don't say (or I didn't see) which Linux
distrib you are using and you don't say whether you are using the
distrib-provided version of LibreOffice as opposed to the TDF download,
it is hard to know whether the problem is a TDF one or a packaging one.

There have been problems with the wizard in the past with regard to
subform creation, so it would probably be best if you set up your
subforms manually using in Form design mode rather than using the
wizard. In Form design mode, you can activate the Form navigator, in
which you see a tree represenation of the form hierarchy with its
various form controls. You can add your subform to the main form via
this navigator, and set the bound controls accordingly.

You might find more relevant help by reading the Base manual, available
here :

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/e/e8/BH40-BaseHandbook.pdf

Page 104 deals with using the Form navigator to set up subforms.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import PDF file?

[Italo Vignoli]

Open LibreOffice, and from within LibreOffice open the PDF file using
the File > Open menu. The PDF should open with Draw, but if damaged it
will open with Writer as a text file.

[libreoffice-users] command line options

[John R. Sowden]

I want a link (launcher?) on my ubuntu 14.04 box to run LO in a 
directory that I specify without opening a specific file.  I entered the 
"working directory" and the approved execution name 
(/usr/bin/libreoffice).  Problem is LO comes up in, I think, the last 
directory that I used.  How do I get it to come up the the directory I 
specify in the desktop launcher.

Forget the form wizard. It is close to useless. Get the "Form Design"
toolbar. Hit the 5th button ("Form Navigator"), right-click the forms
collection and start your own hierarchy of forms and subforms with grids
and list boxes. Subforms and list boxes are the elements which help you
to edit 1-n relations and m-n relations as well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import PDF file?

[Spencer Graves]

LOSING JUSTIFY


  With at least one example, I lost "justify" with opening a PDF in 
LibreOffice Draw.  The original PDF was in two columns with each 
justified.  In Draw, it was left aligned, and some of the lines in the 
left column overlapped the right.



  I got this using "Print/export" > "Download as PDF" from 
"Effective defense and ISIL" in Wikiversity 
(https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Effective_defense_and_ISIL) with 
LibreOffice 5.0.3.2 and 5.0.4.2 just now.



FORCE READING IN WRITER?


  Is there a way to force LO to open it in Writer?


  Alternatively, is there other software (preferably free and 
open-source) that can read the text (and numbers) and make them 
available to Writer or Calc that's easier than copying and pasting from 
Draw?



  The text in Draw is all single lines, which makes it inconvenient 
to work from.



  Thanks,
  Spencer Graves
