[libreoffice-users] page break shows in middle of page
I have attached a short file that illustrates the problem. The troublesome page break shows in the middle of page three. Deleting it, causes the next page to lose its footer.

[libreoffice-users] Libreoffice browser plugin
Conspicuously absent from the document types supported by the libreoffice browser plugin are any of the Microsoft Office document types. For those of us using an operating system on which Microsoft Office is not natively supported, this means saving documents of these types and opening them in a separate libreoffice window. Would it be possible for the libreoffice browser plugin to support the full range of document types that libreoffice itself can handle? -- -John (j...@os2.dhs.org) -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Impress AutoLayout height in LO
Hi all, I've noticed something annoying with AutoLayout objects in Impress. This is what I did: 1. create an empty presentation and edit the slide master 2. edit the height of the main AutoLayout text box (the one that usually contains the main content) 3. Make sure that the text box is not set to auto size, either under text... or under size and position 4. close master view Now if I choose a layout that displays this AutLayout area, the height of it is set to whatever I made it be and all is fine. Here's the problem. I now save this document and close it. When I open it again the AutoLayout is still the same as before I closed it, but if I change the layout the height of the AutoLayout goes back to what it was before I changed it in the master. If I now open the master view I see that indeed the master has also changed. I can change the slide master again and repeat the whole process but nothing fixes this. I've tried locking the size and position of the text box but that is ignored. I've flipped all sorts of checkboxes but haven't found a solution yet. All this is happening in LO 3.5.0 rc3 but also happened in the 3.4.5 version. I haven't tried older versions. Running win7 64-bit. Anyone else see this happen, and if so is there a fix (I'm assuming it's a feature and not a bug). -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Impress-AutoLayout-height-in-LO-tp3765716p3765716.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Fw: [MariaDB Announce] SkySQL MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL® Database
Hi :) MariaDb is a drop-in replacement for MySql in the same way that LibreOffice is a drop-in replacement for MySql and for similar reasons (ie many of the devs were unhappy with Oracle's 'management') I lurk on their lists sometimes and thought that the various people working on LibreOffice Base in various different mailing lists might be interested to know of the event they have planned.

[libreoffice-users] Re: lo 3.5 crashes nearly all times
Hi :) Superb! Nicely done :) I think the UserProfile guide goes into detail about copying back some of the old folders so that you can pin-point where the error was and get back some of your old settings but it might be easier to ignore that and just re-download newer Extensions that are more likely to be compatible and hunt through Tools - Options - Appearance and the rest to get things back the way you prefer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt .odt file
Hi :) I think start by deleting the ~lock file, or at least hide it in a zip-file you make for it. Then just see how your file looks and if it's close enough to easily re-create the missing data (if there is anything missing). When you say you have no back-up do have have a copy on usb-stick, an emailed copy or some other computer or network-share? Sometimes people don't realise that they have backed something up in that way and don't think of them as back-ups as it's not formal and deliberate. 'Accidental' back-ups are just as good tho! :) Also check the Tools - Options - Paths to see where LO might be saving back-ups if you have enabled that option.

Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt .odt file
Hi :) Hmm, something else is to make a copy of the .odt and rename it's file-ending from .odt to .zip and then double-click to open it in an archive manager. Inside there the file contents.xml might contain a lot of the data. It's easier to read in non-Windows platforms or use a decent text-editor such as Notepad++ or SciTe or something. Notepad can't colour-code the tags and things which makes it difficult to separate the tags from the contents visually. Most other platforms have a decent text-editor by default. Look for the words Plain text in the status-bar and click on it or hunt in the View menu for an option to display the file as html, or css, or xml instead of viewing as plain text.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing LibreOffice - problem
I just had to deal with a .docx file this morning that was sent to me for editing. I could never do what I did with the last version of OOo that I had. Also, I never did get a newer version of MSO beyond 2003. If I did not have LO, I would not be able to deal with the documents sent to me from different agencies I get every few weeks. Many seem to believe that everyone has the same office packages as they do and send the .docx and other x files, when I know that some of the people they deal with have Office 2003 or earlier since they did not have it in their budgets for the newer ones. So LO does MSO files better than OOo ever did.

Deleting it, causes the next page to lose its footer. None of this makes any sense to me. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3763272/page_break_problem.odt page_break_problem.odt Then let me confuse you some more. I have downloaded your file and worked with it for a while. First of all, I have a suggestion: your first page uses the First Page style which is very good. But your second page uses the Index style after creating a page break at the bottom of the first page. You don't need a page break here. All you need to do is to right click the First Page style and select modify. In the Organizer tab, change the Next style from Default to Index. This will automatically make the second and third pages use the Index style. (The Organizer tab for Index style has the Next style listed as Index.) So, you only need a page break at the end of the third page of the document to change the page style. Use page breaks when you have multiple pages using the same page style followed by a page with a different page style. Also use a page break if you want to change the numbering of the following pages. But anytime you have a single page with a given page style, modify that page style to select the next page style to be used. This is how you can set up a left page - right page sequence without having to place a page break at the bottom of each page. Further investigation, the layout you have in LO has something to do with what you see. The bottom right of LO has three icons: single right page, multiple right page, and multiple pages with left - right pages swapping. (left - right - left- right - etc.) If I select either of the first two, I see the page break in the middle of the page. Selecting the third, I see a blank page between the third and fourth page of your document. There is no visible page break. But as far as why LO 3.5 would do what we both see, I really don't have a good guess. Well, it might be something that has been added to version 3.5 since it is not in version 3.4.5. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Downgrading
We DO have a choice; not enough people are using it. Just because a new version is released does not mean we have to download it. If enough people refuse to download it until x.x.2 or x.x.3, perhaps there would be some changes in the scheduling. Even if there is no change, we can wait until the version reaches one of these version using an earlier more stable version for our more critical work. I will continue downloading the latest version because I need to keep up with the latest version's capabilities for writing purposes. I make copies of documents that I use placing the copies in a separate folder I named, DEV. Then I can open these copies with the latest version. If anything happens to these files, no problem, they are only copies. --Dan On Wed, 2012-02-22 at 18:12 +, Chris Morgan wrote: I am very sceptical about the so-called benefits of releasing on a strict time-schedule.

[libreoffice-users] Top posting
Hi :) Most people and especially those that are new to the lists will top-post because that is what they are most familiar with. Office workers have almost never seen any alternative. Unless the office apps are not aimed at office users then it's ridiculous to expect anything else. Is it good to start off by telling people off for not doing things your way when we are supposed to be offering them choices? Should we alienate people and make them feel that to use LibreOffice they have to completely change their entire lifestyle? Is our main aim here to change the way people post or is it to help people move to LibreOffice?

[libreoffice-users] Themes for libreoffice Impress ? Where to get more ? And how to create ?
Hi all, Quite a few questions I have on this one. I recently started working on Libreoffice Impress. I am not much of a technical guy but still will try to describe things. Once I load Libreoffice Impress, the Window opens in three panes . Going from left to right it is :- Pane A has the Slide Pane Pane B is the workarea where you work on an individual slide Pane C is the Task Pane. I did see that these Panes can be viewed or unviewed by clicking on View and checking or/and unchecking Various Panes. Anyways, going further on the topic, in Pane C i.e. Tasks Pane there are similar drop-down panes which can be viewed or unviewed by checking and unchecking the View drop-down menu within the Tasks pane. One of the Check boxes is for Master Pages which I find interesting. Master Pages has something similar to 'Themes' . I do not know if this is the proper word or there should be some other word to describe it. What it does is give a style and a look to a presentation. Now my main question/query is where do I find more such themes at ? Does anybody know any sites where such user-generated custom 'themes' could be found ? Bonus points if one could browse them with keywords. Also is there a how-to if one wants to create a custom 'theme' ? Lastly if one did find such a theme how does one install it or use it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Top posting
Hi :) Top posting and leaving the thread intact allows a person that is new to the thread or can't quite remember context, to gain the full context of the later replies. It also allows people to only read the last message without having to scroll or wade through tons of stuff from previous messages or try to pick out other emails that have the same subject-line in order to try to make sense of this one. It neatly achieves both choices without requiring the receiver to do anything other than scroll or not even scroll if they already remember roughly what the thread is about. If someone reads the latest message and then suddenly realises that they don't seem to know the context after all then they can choose to quickly scroll down and hopefully spot a message that does remind them. It's the way that almost all emailing works in almost every office, it's the way phones and hand-helds are set-up, it's the way many people on the accessibility list prefer as they can simply stop the screen-reader once they have got the gist of the reply. There was a beautiful example earlier where i replied to the message as it was written but then got accused of being off-topic because the alleged topic had been edited out. Note that the criticism was on-list just to make sure that anyone new to the list becomes very aware that they are likely to be publicly humiliated if they do something slightly wrong. Imagine queuing to buy something in a shop and the person at the counter punches the customer in front of you. Would you continue to wait in line or leave and perhaps use a different store? Note also that top-posters on this list have never asked bottom-posters to post at the top. It has always been bottom-posters arrogantly demanding that people conform to their own obtuse way of doing things. I did try bottom-posting a few times and instead of people saying thanks they just further abused me, again only publicly, that i hadn't done something quite right. If there had been anything approaching politeness or a gentle nudge in the right direction then i might have tried again but i have no interest in allowing bullies to intimidate me or anyone else.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Top posting
I fully agree with you Tom, but I can follow the flow (up or down) to suit the poster and what ever is the custom in his/her part of the world (customer oriented). Here we file most relevant (recent) on top, digging down for more background but may be other nationalities file most recent on the bottom. May be forums were invented to circumvent the top-posting-vs-bottom-posting religious wars. steve On 2012-02-23 09:24, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Top posting and leaving the thread intact allows a person that is new to the thread or can't quite remember context, to gain the full context of the later replies. It also allows people to only read the last message without having to scroll or wade through tons of stuff from previous messages or try to pick out other emails that have the same subject-line in order to try to make sense of this one. It neatly achieves both choices without requiring the receiver to do anything other than scroll or not even scroll if they already remember roughly what the thread is about. If someone reads the latest message and then suddenly realises that they don't seem to know the context after all then they can choose to quickly scroll down and hopefully spot a message that does remind them. It's the way that almost all emailing works in almost every office, it's the way phones and hand-helds are set-up, it's the way many people on the accessibility list prefer as they can simply stop the screen-reader once they have got the gist of the reply. There was a beautiful example earlier where i replied to the message as it was written but then got accused of being off-topic because the alleged topic had been edited out. Note that the criticism was on-list just to make sure that anyone new to the list becomes very aware that they are likely to be publicly humiliated if they do something slightly wrong. Imagine queuing to buy something in a shop and the person at the counter punches the customer in front of you. Would you continue to wait in line or leave and perhaps use a different store? Note also that top-posters on this list have never asked bottom-posters to post at the top. It has always been bottom-posters arrogantly demanding that people conform to their own obtuse way of doing things. I did try bottom-posting a few times and instead of people saying thanks they just further abused me, again only publicly, that i hadn't done something quite right. If there had been anything approaching politeness or a gentle nudge in the right direction then i might have tried again but i have no interest in allowing bullies to intimidate me or anyone else.

Until the 3.4.5 DVD gets on the DVD download list for 3.4.5, here is the link for the ISO file that is currently on the mirrors. http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/box/3.4.5/LO-3.4.5--NA-DVD--WLM--Feb-21st-2012.iso Hopefully it will get on the main site's list for 3.4.5 version DVDs in the next week or so. But this one listed as 3.8 GB in size. 3.4.5 Installs for Windows, Linux [DEBS and RPM], and Mac OSX [Intel and PPC] Documentation, Dictionaries, extensions, templates, artwork and galleries, and other stuff. Language/Help packs for: English, GB-English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazil's Portuguese, and Hebrew [since I was told that the Hebrew speaking community resents MSO for not supporting their needs]. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] askLO

Re: [libreoffice-users] Save As DOCX does not export graphics

Unless images are lost after creation of an odf document. If you were to write to m$ and comment that m$ can create an odf11 document but not an odf12 version, what would be the likely response. It is certainly not any more important than support for any of the other numerous formats supported by OOo. Interoperability has always been very difficult. What formats would you continue to support. Note that I am not in a position to dictate to my boss or my companies clients what products they will use. Note that I do have full access to pretty much any MS product that I care to use, so if a MS format is not supported, then I must do all work with a MS deliverable in MS.

Is the issue related to download speed or the internal document arrangement? if it is the later, resaving the document with a newer version may help, but I have not touched that document directly in a bit because there was a bug in OOo that caused it to crash. The bug was fixed but never made it into the last OOo release.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question re: Calc default font
Thanks, Brian. I've done all that, but Calc continues to revert to Arial every time. I seem to not be able to save a new default font for all new documents. As I recall, I could do that in versions of Calc prior to 3.5.
