Martin,

This sounds like using the wrong tool.  Have you looked at gEDA:

http://www.geda-project.org/

What you want is gschem, the schematic capture application.  I use it 
all the time for drawing schematics, and it includes a symbol library, 
however, your own symbols are easily created and used.  You don't say 
what your OS is, but there is a windows version of gEDA available.


HTH.

   Of the 3, only the first is a viewable image; the other 2 state not
available, ...
  the 2nd shows a menu ... the 3rd shows a blank box.

   Did you draw these then upload to the computer? -
  if so, then re-scan then re-upload.

   did you use some computer program to draw these? -
  maybe someone on this list can explain to you how to use the draw
feature in LO.

   did you use another's computer program? -
  maybe they would have a help forum for you to request information.

   Hoping this helps in some minute way,

Insightful! Learning every day.


This is a strange and unintuitive place to find a working extension.
Any plans to put it in the usual place for extensions under the LO home
page to make it easier for users to find?


You're right about this. Yesterday I added this here 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60592:



@Patrick, @André

People are still pointed to 
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/template-changer and 
that version does not work.


http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=103039 works fine, 
is it possible to publish it at extension-center?

Greetings,

Where are you getting this Template Changer 1.2.7x?

When I go to the LO home page and then the extensions page, all I see is
still the 1.2.6 version for LO 3.3 dated 2013 and a warning that it has
not been updated for over a year!  As far as I know, this 1.2.6
extension is not compatible with LO 4.x or 5.x.


I quote from an email by Wiebe van der Worp of 7 April 2016 :


"... you need to use this link for a working Template Changer:
http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=103039;

That is where I got my version 1.2.7 from

Wiebe & Philip,

Thanks for the response.  I downloaded both the 1.2.7b and 1.2.7c 
versions.  I will make a Slackware package of it to install on my system 
with LO 5.0.6.3 and try it out.

Have you installed the en-GB language pack and changed the defaults

[libreoffice-users] Trial of LibreOffice

2016-09-29 Thread Alwyn 
I am still trialling LO but have one or two issues.  

1.  With Open Office I always updated using the British version so that
dates, spelling etc automatically adopt the British format.
It is proving tedious to have to convert all my spreadsheet date formats so
I wonder if there is a similar facility in LO?

2.  If I want to edit an existing Word document I find that the format
painter will not in all circumstances reformat all paragraphs to match.  For
example I have tried to set paragraph spacing identically for several
paragraphs but it seems only to do it for paras that matched beforehand.  
The always worked in Open Office but not in LO.

So far the only advantage seems to be that LO can create to docx and xlsx
formats.  Unless these problems can be resolved I fear that I will have to
revert to OO.
