Re: [libreoffice-users] Select/copy content of a comment

2016-04-01 Thread Eric Beversluis 
I don't get an "edit cell" option. But double left click on the opened 
comment turns out to get me past the drag handles to edit mode.
Don't know why I didn't try the double clicking earlier. That's what 
works in Draw. Somehow it didn't occur to me.


A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

THanks.

How do I select and copy the content of a comment?

[if you're referring to a website, then run the mouse along the 
copy
which should highlight that portion, then right-click & choose copy 
which

should place the highlighted text in the temporary storage so you can
paste
it elsewhere;

 if you're referring to an e-mail, then you can attempt to do the

send

the document elsewhere in order to make the copy accept the mouse -
why, I
haven't a clue  ;-)]

  When I open the comment and try to select its content, all I get is
a hand
to move the content around on the page.

[whether referring to a site or an e-mail, you could 'save as' this
document to the machine, then try again when it's on your machine - 
why,

this works I haven't a clue other than you've possibly broken whatever
the
site had holding it  ;-)]

(Eg, I've got a long URL in the comment that I want to copy and past 
into
the browser.) The page on inserting and editing comments doesn't 
seem to

address this function.

[simplest method would be to copy a portion of this URL - paste
into a
notepad document; then copy remaining portion of URL - paste this onto
the
portion in notepad - then the whole URL is ready to copy & paste into
your
browser window.]

thanks.

[libreoffice-users] New book: Designing with LibreOffice

2016-04-01 Thread Jean Weber 
Bruce Byfield has written a book that explains the importance of using
styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience
and the least effort. It also explains the basics of modern design (font
choice, page layout, etc) and how to apply them in LibreOffice. It's
available to download free as a PDF or a zip file of the source ODTs) or
to buy as a printed copy.
http://designingwithlibreoffice.com

Although this book is not part of the official LO user guides, it was
edited by Jean Hollis Weber and published by the same group (Friends of
Open Document) that publishes the printed copies of the user guides.

The book is licensed CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution

This definitely looks like LO doesn't know the OpenSymbol font or forgot how to 
use it.
Can you try the following?

In a Writer document, choose OpenSymbol as font, and then Insert > Special 
Character
You will get a table of characters. About halfway the table, just above a 
sequence of Greek characters (the second set of Greek characters) ΓΔΘΛΞΠΣ, 
there is a vector symbol. Can you insert that?

You can also check in a Formula with Tools > Symbols. (or Catalog, depending on 
the LO version). Choose symbol set Special, and click Edit. You should get the 
same table. See if it is there, and then Cancel.

[libreoffice-users] Math Symbols get corrupted

2016-04-01 Thread Roberto Inzerillo 
I have been using Libreoffice 5.1 under Windows and had no problem with 
Math symbols before.


But today, after installing and uninstalling a few programs, Libreoffice 
suddenly started displyaing some symbols in a wrong way.


This is a screenshot of what I'm talking about: 
http://www.robertoinzerillo.com/temp/math_01.jpg
The "vector" symbol over the letter "A" is being rendered as a series of 
squares :-(

This is not the only symbols which has been corrupted.

I already followed a few hints found in the internet, such like 
downloading and installing opens___.ttf file again; but had no luck :-(


Any suggestions?
