Hi :)
I think this is the way forwards.  We used to keep older versions of java back 
in the LO 3.3.x line because any version of java more recent than about 4 
versions old seemed to break LO.  We stopped doing that because various users 
complained that older java meant more vulnerable and there were also some 
concerns about copyright.  If anyone is able to get the right version of 6_31 
to you then let us know but just don't tell us who.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thank you very much for this, this has at least fixed it so L.O. will at least 
start up again so that is half the battle.  I am still going to have to install 
java 631 once I actually find it because L.O. definitely does not like this 
java 7 update.  If I try to enable accessibility it says that this JRE is 
defective.  Fortunately I may have the old installer laying around somewhere.

Thanks again.

I had the same problem here, running jre 7 on XP and installing the newest
LibreOffice.
The problem was fixed by removing javasettings_Windows_x86.xml (I actually
just renamed it to javasettings_Windows_x86.xm0) and then when I started
LibreOffice a new and correct version was created. The old xml file
contained info about the jre6, which was not there any longer.
Apparently LO 3.5.4.2 didn't detect the correct Java version when
upgrading from LO 3.4.xx.
That xml file was located inside \LibreOffice\3\user\config\ inside the
\AppData folder

Re: [libreoffice-users] latest java update has broken my install ofLibre Office.

Hi :)
It might be worth adding extra comments to the bug report, such as which system 
it does work on and which it doesn't.  

If the devs are able to narrow-down the problem then it might be easier for 
them to fix.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: latest java update has broken my install of Libre Office.


Hi Stuart.

It seems that some people are having this problem and others are not.  That 
is strange.  I have tried both your suggestion of renaming my profile folder 
and Bjørn's  suggestion of renaming that settings file.  In both cases it 
still says that the JRE is defective when I try to enable accessibility 
tools.  So I am still stuck.


Best regards,

Tom

Tom,

Activating a Java Runtime Environment in LibreOffice 3.5.4  took a little
while to complete its initial load following upgrade, but  the JRE 1.7
update 5  does function correctly with JAB 2.02 installed with LibreOffice
3.5.4 on 64-bit Windows 7.  So, not  a problem with the LibreOffice
Accesibility and the Assistive technology tools.

Installation of the updates (32bit and 64bit versions from java.com)  did
not corrupt my LibreOffice user profile, and JAB 2.0.2 was not affected. The
NVDA screen reader continues to work correctly with LibreOffice.

So, the JRE installer is not the problem, and that leaves LibreOffice user
profile configuration issues.

I suspect you were just unluky this time round with the Java update
misconfiguring some component of your profile.

I beleive Bjørn's guidance to delete or to rename the
*javasettings_Windows_x86.xml*  file is the correct way to clear the issue
by allowing your user profile to rebuild.

Or you could completely remove your LibreOffice user profile and allow it to
be rebuilt with defaults.

The full profile is the folder located at *C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user* which can be renamed.

[libreoffice-users] Read-only "fields"

2012-06-25 Thread Mark McDougall

Hi all,

I've Googled and also searched the mailing list archives but can't find a
solution to this that works for me.

Opened a word document and saved (copy) as odt. I'm heavily editing the
file and have come across a couple of 'fields' in the footer that I can't
edit or delete. Attempting to delete, or delete the text, results in a
pop-up saying that you can't delete read-only portions of the document.

These were originally fields in the word document. Showing 'field names'
in LibreOffice doesn't show any names for these 2 fields. I know one of
them was referencing a cell in a table on the 1st page - something we have
not been able to replicate in OO in the past. They're obviously fields
that OO/LO can't deal with. I'm not concerned about being able to
replicate the field - I'm happy to simply delete the field and hard-code
the text, but I can't even do that!?!

Any ideas on how to remove these 'read-only' fields?

TIA

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: latest java update has broken my install of Libre Office.


Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately I do have to use java because the accessibility functionality 
of libre office depends on it, so disabling java is not an option.  Thank 
you for the suggestion though as it might be useful to those who don't have 
to run java.


Best regards,

Tom

LibreOffice works well on any system without any Java being installed.
If it does not start because of anything related to Java, this is a
clear bug.
You may have replaced Java while the office was running (thanks to that
completely useless "quick-starter"). Does a reboot of the whole system help?

This is how to disable Java in the office suite without:
Find the file ...

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\config\javasettings.xml

... and load it into a text edior.
Change this line...

true

... to ...

false

... and start the office.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.4.2/Writer] CTRL-P shortcut freezes LiBo V 3_5_4_2

Hi :)
I think on Windows and on Gnu&Linux yiou can right-clcik on it's button (if it 
has one) in the taskbar/panel (= that strip along the bottom of the screen in 
Xp that has the "Start" button and the clock on it).  If you right-click on the 
button there you get a choice to "Move".  Don't press any key or button just 
move the mouse back into the screen.  I found it almost impossible not to 
left-click to drag.  

It might be easier to change the resolution of the montior to something really 
tiny and unreadable.  That might make it easier to drag the window into the 
right area and then reset your resolution. ;)
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Because [Esc] takes you back to the edit window, I think that the print dialog 
is active but its position is out of visible bounds.
Alt+Space_Key might open the window-menu for the active but hidden dialog. 
There you might find some way to move it by means of arrow keys. I don't use 
Windows right now, so I can not test.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Downloading LibreOffice

2012-06-25 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P



Any day now it will show up here, hopefully, instead of version #1.  All 
of the updates for version 5 are online at the online version of the 
DVD.  Mostly it has updated extras like; documentation, updated foreign 
language spell checkers, etc..


http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=box&version=3.5.4

I wanted to have the #5 updated version online for 3.5.4, and hope to 
have some more updates when I upload a 3.5.5 version of the DVD.  It may 
be near the end of July before I get 3.5.5 DVD created, since I have 
been sick and there are a lot of things that need to be done that are 
needed A.S.A.P. or before mid July.

Hi Dave.  I run the Libreoffice-na.us site.  It is not an "official"
download path, but a site for a DVD project with it accessible online as
well as on a physical media.

I found that the problems I had with downloading from LO's site due to a
problem with the mirror system of downloading.
When you download a file from there, you are actually downloading it from
one of the many mirrors available.  I would be one, buy my hosting company
will not allow that to happen.

Sometimes there are problems with the chosen mirror.

If you go to the "info" part of the green "button" to download the file,
and click there, you will be given a list of mirrors to choose from instead
of the downloading system to make that choice for you.

So you may be either having an issue with the "default" mirror,
OR
your dial-up company could be "limiting" the size of file being
downloaded.  I know that some do from experience.

So, here are your option, as I see it.

1)  try one of the mirrors and start the download before you go to bed.
  If it goes, you should have it by morning.

2)  have your son download the install files [install and help] and have
him send it to you on a CD.

3)  have you son download my DVD and send it to you.
 [version 5 of the 3.5.4 DVD .iso file will be available in a few days
- version 1 is online but not as good]

4)  I might be able to send you a copy of my DVD via post, but I do not
know how much the post office charges anymore.

If you want to "talk to me " off the list, you can do so by either my

I help dial-up people locally from time to time.  I am in central New York
State along the Pennsylvania border.  I still have a laptop or two that has
a dial-up modem, but most modern ones do not, it seems.  I do not have them
set up for dial-up anymore, but I have a friend that uses a free dial-up
service that limits to 10 hours of work per month.  I understand that their
paid service also has a limiting factor on how large of a file you can
download.  It is not stated anywhere I have seen, but he has seen it happen
with others with that service.  If he needs to download large, either I do
it or he comes to my place to access my home/office network's Internet
access.  I also share that access via a private wireless system with
several people in my apartment building.  This secured network is part of
my own network with a separate router for their use and will not access my
part of the network due to the IP addresses from one network are different
from the other and you cannot access one part from the other.

So, hopefully it would be the mirror that is chosen for you. Otherwise you
will need to have someone send you the install files on a CD or a DVD if
you want more than just the basic installs.

Check out this link to see what my DVD has beyond the basic installs.  You
can find these files other places, but I gathered them into one place.
  Also I have the largest American English spell checking dictionary for LO,
or as far as I know and have been told.  There are in the dictionary
section of the DVD's web site  with "kpp" in the titles.

This has something to do with the layout of left pages (even page

I'm not entirely sure about the right setup but I think you have to set 
the page style to "right page only".

Hi Dave.  I run the Libreoffice-na.us site.  It is not an "official"

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: New release of Grub2.00 for alpha testing

Hi :)
Don't worry.  It's not such a big jump this time!  

The jump from Grub1 to Grub'2' in Ubuntu 10.04 caught a lot of people out.  I 
don't think people were ready for it and it wasn't great back then.  The 
massive advantage with Grub'2' is that it is modular so small chunks can be 
developed and tested without hurting the rest of it.  Also it is very easy to 
reinstall from LiveCd/Usb and there are cleverer way to do it too 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Ok, so it was introduced in U 9.10 but it was optional and people avoided it, 
or just switched back to Grub1.  All much the same sequence as Unity which also 
seems to upset less people now.  I still miss messing around with menu.lst but 
who wouldn't?
Regards from
Tom :)

Dan,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is not so much that I CANNOT set the option 
NONE in the drop down list of the PRINT options(although that appears to be a bug)
but that the key shortcut CTRL-P  freezes and does not go into the print 
dialogue and therefore I have no drop down option of printers.

So I am still unable to print from that shortcut.
Hope this is clear enough.

[libreoffice-users] Downloading LibreOffice

Hi Dave :)

Errr, that was your 1st post to the list!  I can guess at your original 
question which appears to have been lost in the ether.  

There are a lot of possible different reasons why downloading doesn't work.  
The easiest work-around might be to get yoru son to download LibreOffice onto 
his machine and then make a Cd to post to you as a normal small parcel.  Even 
better would be if he would download the North American Dvd for you
http://libreoffice-na.us/

Tim of Kracked Press at the NA project might be able to post a dvd to you but i 
am not sure how much he would charge.  Hopefully he would at least recoup costs 
from whatever he charged you!  

As for your own downloading problems.  Which Operating System are you using?  
Is it an MS Windows one, maybe Xp?  Perhaps not Windows at all, maybe Ubuntu?  
Mac?  Something else?  

Do you know your hard-drive's size?  More to the point how much empty space is 
left on the drive at the moment?  It might just be that you need to empty your 
wastebin and the wastebin in your emailing system.  

Don't worry if you don't know answers to some or all of those things but if you 
do know it might help us to help you
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thank you for responding. 
I have a dial-up connection and after 5 or 6 attempts over three days I never 
got more then 20 mg download when the mindspring shut me down.
My son says he can download 208 mg into a CD in less then 10 minutes but...
I am retired now and LibreOffice still lets me play.  
Should I take the computer to Denver and let him try to download into my 
computer?
Thanks
Dave

Hi all.
Well the subject pretty much says it, I got a notification there was an

update my install
of Libre Office no longer works.  As soon as I try to start the program  
I get the standard windows 7 message about a problem has caused libre

when that did not do anything I went so far as to remove the whole  
install and re-

install Libre Office.  Still no joy.
I am not sure if this is an accessibility problem or not, I do know that  
the java update did totally screw my install of access bridge as well  
and I
had to re-install that too.  This is the first time I’ve ever had a java  
update screw things up this way.
Needless to say I am not a happy camper, I depend on this program to do  
paperwork for work here at home.  Has anyone else had this happen with  
this java update?  I am
running the 32-bit version of windows 7.  I have posted this to the  
accessibility list too but am posting it here in case it is not related

One user on the accessibility list suggested that I try putting the java

I had the same problem here, running jre 7 on XP and installing the newest  
LibreOffice.
The problem was fixed by removing javasettings_Windows_x86.xml (I actually  
just renamed it to javasettings_Windows_x86.xm0) and then when I started  
LibreOffice a new and correct version was created. The old xml file  
contained info about the jre6, which was not there any longer.
Apparently LO 3.5.4.2 didn't detect the correct Java version when  
upgrading from LO 3.4.xx.
That xml file was located inside \LibreOffice\3\user\config\ inside the  
\AppData folder

 The "text document" is LibreOffice Writer" and the path you need 
to use with a text document opened in Writer (it can be a new one):

Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Print.

LibreOffice works well on any system without any Java being installed. 
If it does not start because of anything related to Java, this is a 
clear bug.
You may have replaced Java while the office was running (thanks to that 
completely useless "quick-starter"). Does a reboot of the whole system help?


This is how to disable Java in the office suite without:
Find the file ...

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\config\javasettings.xml

... and load it into a text edior.
Change this line...

true

[libreoffice-users] Re: Need Help AGAIN with Mail Merge

2012-06-25 Thread Charles218

Andreas,

In going through the print procedure again, this time following your step by
step directions, I believe that the problem is solved. 

There are two ways to get to the mail merge area, one is by using the
"Print" command and responding "yes" to the do you want to print a form
letter dialog. The second way is by simply clicking on the F4 function key.
If I use the print command and then select the data source, the "Data to
Fields" icon is greyed out. When using the F4 key and then selecting the
data source, the "Data to Fields" option works. That was probably the case
all along though I missed it.

Problem Solved! 

Now that this is solved, and I something to work with for awhile, I will
begin to work on the ODBC solution. 


Thanks again for taking the time to help!!!
Charles

Hi :)
Windows uses NtLdr instead of Grub so i guess you are talking about not having 
a dual-boot system.  Hmm, not sure about Win7 and Vista but perhaps still the 
same one.  

Most system running "Grub2" are actually on Grub 1.98 or around there.   I

[libreoffice-users] New release of Grub2.00 for alpha testing

Hi :)
Ok, so grub2 has had a lot of releases and updates in the last year or so but 
this is the big one (well big 2 i guess).  If you don't know what Grub is then 
just ignore this thread as it probably doesn't affect most people here.  

If anyone is interested in testing this pre-beta release then i would recommend 
using an old hard-drive and unplugging your main one!  It 'should' be fine but 
it is pre-beta so it may have weirdnesses.  

From the grub devs list where Vladimir posted this a couple of days ago ... 
"Hello, all. I'm proud to introduce 2.00~rc1 to you.
It's available as
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00~rc1.tar.gz
or
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00~rc1.tar.xz
As far as I'm aware all issues have been either postponed or resolved
correctly, so I'll release 2.00 on Monday. Give ~rc1 a spin over the
weekend and report any issues.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to install medical dictionary? print envelope

Hi :)
It is probably best to avoid "customising your toolbars" but it might be smart 
to create a new tool-bar that does have only what you want on it.  Taht way 
it's easier to get back to the standard toolbars if something goes wrong.  So, 

Tools - Customise

Documentation is handy to look through while waiting for answers from the list 
here.  If you find the answer first then you can always reply to your own 
question.  Given the time-lag i think that is often the best way to approach 
problems

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thank you for your email.  However it did not answer my question.  My problem 
is that I can not find any information how to print envelopes.  Also, I can not 
find any information that will help me to add or delete icons from various 
toolbars.  Thank you.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] How to install medical dictionary?


I have downloaded a medical dictionary (en-us-openmedspel.oxt) but can't find 
where
to put the file.

In LO 3.3 I would put it in /usr/share/lib64/libreoffice/extensions/language but
I can't find that directory in LO 3.5 (build 392).  I also haven't been able to 
find
a "language" folder in any of the paths.

Where do I put this file in LO 3.5 in order to access it when needed?  I looked 
in
the help section but found it rather vague about dictionaries, nothing about 
where
they are stored.

Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom B<)))

OMG, holy this, it works, but there is absolutely nothing intuitive about
it...

Thanks,

 I'm not sure what you mean by virtual folders. I know when I 
connect to a MySQL database using Base that the tables are in virtual 
folders. (Each folder is a specific database.)
 But I do not see virtual folders for the forms of those same 
databases. Base does suggest names for the forms in this format: 
.
 If this is what you mean, you can give queries names using a 
similar format:
.  This will alphabetically separate your 
queries by the database names. Reports can be similarly named.

[libreoffice-users] How to export the bibliography DB to Zotero?

2012-06-25 Thread Fabian Rodriguez


-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I have a database of ~3000 entries that I would like to export to Zotero.

What would be the recommended way of doing this? I can't seem to find
such information in Zotero forums. I thought I'd ask here as I know my
way around LibreOffice better than Zotero.

This seems like a similar problem although it describes importing from
the bibliography *text*, not the OOo/LibO database:
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies

At ~3000 entries, it's impractical to create a new document with *all*
entries, not to mention (most possible) data missing when reimporting that.

A friend mentioned using RDF as an intermediary format, or .bib, but
again I would have to have a document with all my references (this
doesn't import all refs from the database AFAIK):
http://www.estm.co.uk/blog/software/export-openoffice-writer-bibliography-to-zotero.html

Any information on how to do this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Set chart in edit mode.
Format > Axis > x-Axis
Dialog page "Scale". Set Type to 'Date'.
Then you get elements on that dialog page to trim the axis labels.

Kind regards

[libreoffice-users] [3.5.3.2/Writer] In tables, move rows?

2012-06-25 Thread Gilles

Hello,

>From two tables in the same document, I need to move several rows from one
table to another, preferably through keyboard shortcuts as it's much faster.

Here's what I wanted to do:
1. Select one or more rows, through ALT in case they're contiguous, through
CTRL if they aren't
2. Cut with CTRL+X and expect Writer to remove the rows instead of leaving
empty lines
3. Go to destination, hit CTRL+V and expect current rows to move down and
the pasted rows to move in

It looks like Writer is unable to do this. Can you confirm or tell me how?

Thank you.
