Given the very large number of other bugs that need to be fixed and are deemed more important, i.e. like being able to open various file formats without LibO crashing, the priority given to mailmerge issues has dropped somewhat.

As more organisations migrate to MO 2010 and they become less standard interoperability with LO may disappear altogether. steve When MSO forced their way and had their .docx [XML] file format, and the other x formats, become some sort of world standard, they would not provide the documentation to the ISO standards committee. Then when that committee pushed and started to edit that format to make it easier to use, for that standard, MS decided that they would not comply to that standard. Also, I have been told that if you create a complex .docx file with the latest MS Word package, it will not open properly with Word 2007. MS seems not to want interoperability between MSO releases. They want to force users to keep buying newer and newer versions to be able to read the newest format versions. I use to deal with MSO but no longer. THEY claim to have included the ODF into their package, since it was the world standard, but messed it up so it wold not work properly. MSO wants to rule how you do office work, and do not like the fact that some upstarts are going against their dictatorship. Well it is in the middle of the night for me, so my above text might not say what I wanted correctly. The big thing is that I always tell my MSO users to use .doc and .xlt formats if they want others to be able to use them. That way anyone with a computer that can use Win XP and newer and bought a copy of MSO when they bought their system can sue those files. Also, the growing user base for OOo and LibreOffice can use it as well. Too many companies are dumping MSO for OOo and LO to not make sure that the files that are being shared are usable to all others. I have seen problems with macros not allowing a correct translation.

[libreoffice-users] I am wondering why the Final version of LO in DEB is still called RC2
I am wondering why the 64-bit DEB and X86 DEB versions of LibreOffice that states it is a Final version still has the files named as RC2? I know that that was the last Release Copy and is the same as the final version, but with the RC2 label still on it, it looks like a non-finalized version. LO 3.3.2 final is dated 2011-03-22 on the download page, while the DEB 64-bit is dated 16 March 2011. x86 is marked 15 March 2011. That would/could throw a few IT people off as well. How difficult would it be to make the DEB version not have file names that use RC2 in it? The RPM version do not have RC2 in their file names. So I think that someone just either forgot or did not think anyone would care. Business people may care a lot. We want business people to use LibreOffice so these things should be something that business IT people would wonder about. Yes most business users will be using Windows, but not all. I am not being a pain in the -- but since it is May 4th, it would come to reason that any Final version of LO would no longer be listed as an RC version. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I think you're looking for: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users Please read this before posting there: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists I thought to warn people here, since many have had Ubuntu issues related to LibreOffice. I thought someone should let the people know they might want to avoid upgrading to 11.04 for now. There are enough issues with it, as I have read, that should make the average Ubuntu user wait for a bit before going to it. It seems that there has been some issues between LO and Ubuntu 11.04 reported already. Actually Ubuntu seems to want you to run 32-bit even though you have a 64-bit system. That is what their web pages seem to say. So since there has been some issues with it and LO, and now my found issue with monitor resolution being unsupported by my monitor even though 10.10 did not have it . . . . . I thought to give another case for the LO users to avoid 11.04 64-bit for awhile. Hi :) I get the opposite impression of Ubuntu. It seems 'they' want me to use 64bit versions when the 32bit has been a lot easier for me. I think the 64bit repos are a lot better now so the slight performance boost might be worth it. I've still only got 2Gb ram but that's not an issue any more :) I thought it was kind to alert people that there might be issues for some people with the 11.04 that are not a problem with earlier releases such as the last LTS. I have 1 machine that needs either 10.10 or 11.04 in order to run some stupid new wireless dongle. The old one worked but we upgraded to the new one because it was new more expensive and therefore must be better [sighs deeply] [shakes head]. Anyway, most of the rest of the machines can stay on 10.04. The 11.04 works fine on my virtual machine (in gnome) but i haven't really tried out much stuff, including LibreOffice, yet.

Re: [libreoffice-users] do not upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 with standard resolution widescreen monitor
Hi :) A lot of work has gone into Gnome Unity recently with new releases already done or imminent. It's going to take a while for those to settle down again. Oddly, KDE is completely stable right now so you might be better with a K desktop environment, if you can bear that Windows look. (Allegedly Win7 copied a lot of KDE elements, specifically the new Start button) . Ubuntu 11.04's implementation of Gnome DE is very rough compared to Gnome in their previous releases. So the resolution issue is not a huge surprise. Disappointing but not a surprise. Have you heard that Mark Shuttleworth made a very pro-Lubuntu speech possibly signalling that Lubuntu (with the LXDE) might become an officially supported branch, like Kubuntu (KDE) and Xubuntu (Xfce). Hmmm, that's a thought. I've not heard of a new release of Xfce for a while so that must be rock-solid by now (unless you dislike blue so much that you can't change the colours fast enough). Obviously this doesn't just affect Ubuntu and does have implications for other distros such as openSuse, Mageia/Mandriva, Mint, Fedora etc as they use the same DEs but Ubuntu's officially recognised family is what i am most familiar with at the moment.

Even without having the nVidia driver[s] active, 10.04 LTS defaulted to the 1366 x 768 resolution of the Acer monitor. Why 11.04 did not, I only have to guess. I also planned on no using Unity as well, since I prefer GNOME over what was written about Unity. I use GNOME as the default with some KDE packages installed as well. It has to re-scan your drives which takes a slightly worrying time. Select all the same partitions such as / and /home but make sure they are all UNticked in the Format? column to make sure no partition get re-formatted. The swaps will get reformatted anyway but just make sure your /home or / doesn't get reformatted.

Hi :) Virus scanning is a bit pointless in linux but it is a good for scanning Windows partitions or over the network, or from a LiveCd/Usb (=bootable Cd/Usb). Trinity Rescue Kit has a good LiveCd for this and other Windows problems. The bootable Cd boots straight into a very simple menu with options at the top for anti-virus scanning (it downloads definitions into ram when you select this option). http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=trinity Regards from Tom :) From: Stefano Fraccaro druid...@libero.it To: users@libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 4 May, 2011 16:44:16 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Avira antivirus in windows thinks Libreoffice 3.4.0-beta3 is a trojan In Windows I have manually scanned the installation folder of Lib0 3.4.0 beta 3 and Avira tell me that rebasegui.exe is infected by TR/Kazy.7514 http://www.stefanofraccaro.org/rebase.png Il 04/05/2011 17.00, Matthew Young ha scritto: Hi, I haven't tried running LibreOffice 3.4.0 beta in Windows yet, but I think it may have to do with your security software.

[libreoffice-users] MS Word broken after LibreOffice install?
I installed LibreOffice because it was the preferred/supported program for uploading text documents to a website I frequent. However, now I can no longer use MS Word. Immediately upon opening MS Word, I receive an error message: There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font. Once I hit OKAY and access a blank Word document, if I attempt to type anything, another error pops up saying Word has encountered a problem. You will not be able to undo this action once it is completed. Do you want to continue? If I select NO in response to that error, I then receive a message stating There are too many edits in this document. This operation will be incomplete. Save your work. I have uninstalled LibreOffice, and this is still occurring. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/MS-Word-broken-after-LibreOffice-install-tp2900482p2900482.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] won't open documents more
Hello Libre Office users, My first post to this list. Just joined today out of frustration. First things first. Running openSUSE 11.3 with KDE3.5.10. Libre Office version is libreoffice-3.3.1.2-2.4.2.x86_64 I did an upgrade the other day. OpenOffice was uninstalled and LibreOffice was installed. When I open Libre Office I cannot open a document because it does not see any. then if I close libre Office it will not open again. Checked for and removed any locks I found to no avail. I must close down and reopen my session to get it back. Now, once Iget it back I can go directly to a document, right click it, and choose Open with Libre Oddice Writer and it will open. I can close and open other documents as well and they will open also. However, if I close Libre Office and try to do it again Libre Office will not open. It will write OK but when I go to Save or Save as it will freeze and I must kill it. Then it will not reopen again unless I close and reopen my session again. Please help. Handling documents is a very important feature for me.
