it can surly been automated, import the PDF in draw and then export the

what format does this 'single file' have to be in? if it can be itself 
a pdf then use pdftk.


pdftk allows you to 'join' multiple pdfs into one.

take the .doc stuff and convert to pdf then put it all together via 
pdftk.


the syntax for pdftk is a bit weird (I find it hard to remember) but 
at the same time very simple.

What OS are you using?

In some pdf readers you can export the entire file as a plain text file
and this file can be opened in Writer or imported into Calc. I do not
know if this would less or more painful. You would have the entire file
at once but would need to format the text.

Hi.
I just tried an interesting thing.
Uploaded a PDF with images to google drive. Right clicked the PDF and 
open with google docs. Then the PDF was converted to a google doc and I 
could download the PDF as an odt and edit it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Exclude page numbers from TOC

[Virgil Arrington]

I redid it with Girvin's reminder to delete the tab and page numbers for 
each TOC level used in my document. This time it worked, so as I suspected, 
for me at least, it was user error, or at least user ignorance.


Each level in the table of contents is formatted separately. I suppose this 
is a good thing as someone, sometime, might want one level to have page 
numbers and another to not have page numbers. I guess it's nice to have the 
flexibility, but often with flexibility comes complexity.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I tend to find importing as plain text and then applying styles saves me hours 
and hours.  Before doing that people's mad formatting would drive me nuts.  

I've managed to stop them sending me Pdfs too.  Mostly it was the argument 
about "being consistent" through-out the newsletter but it also helped to 
respect people's aims rather than their results and the positive comments from 
readers didn't hurt.  It depends how slavish you have to be.  This answer (to 
stand up for yourself) may not help.  

Regards from
Tom :)

not know if this would less or more painful. You would have the entire 
file at once but would need to format the text.




The most painless option is find a PDF to .doc [.odt] conversion 
package. I know that there are some low costing package that do this, 
but I would like to see a free one somewhere.


The "large project" and "many documents" seem to me that if the number 
is large enough, you would want to have an auto-conversion package for 
the PDF documents.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Exclude page numbers from TOC

[Girvin R. Herr]

Virgil,
That's weird.  I just tried the process on one of my documents with a 
relatively large TOC and it worked fine.  I did notice one thing I 
failed to mention: The "Structure" format is not global, it is by TOC 
level (the list to the left of the "Structure" line).  Make sure you are 
changing the level that you are using in your TOC.  For example, if TOC 
level 1 is assigned to Heading1 style and you only change that level, 
the other levels (i.e. Heading2...n) remain unchanged and will still 
have page numbers.  If you are basing your TOC on multiple heading 
levels or styles, you must do this page number deletion on each one.  
Maybe that is what happened. 

Another thing you might try is to verify the change.  If you change the 
level and re-generate the TOC and nothing has changed, then go back into 
edit and verify the change is still there.  If not, then something went 
wrong with saving/applying the change.  If it is still changed, then 
maybe the level was incorrect or there is something else that is not in 
sync, such as TOC level to style mapping. 

I agree with you about the un-intuitiveness of the TOC/Index process.  A 
while back, I wanted an alphabetical index of the Heading style, in 
other words an alphabetical-sorted TOC, but the TOC function does not 
allow sorting and the index function, which can sort, did not allow 
indexing on styles.  I had hundreds of entries, so it was impractical to 
add index marks for each entry.  Arrgh!
The good thing is that the LO TOC/Index process has and is improving 
over the years.  The OpenOffice 2.x TOC process was much worse than we 
have now.


I am using LO 3.6.4.3 on Linux.

Hope this helps.

I imagine I'm doing something wrong as I generally blame myself before 
blaming the program. But


This is one feature of LO (and OO before it) that I've always 
despised. There has to be a better, more intuitive way to generate a TOC.


I would recommend that the LO developers take a look at Atlantis 
(www.atlantiswordprocessor.com). It generates TOC's much more easily.


I'm still using LO 3.6.5.2 with Win7.

What OS are you using?

In some pdf readers you can export the entire file as a plain text file 
and this file can be opened in Writer or imported into Calc. I do not 
know if this would less or more painful. You would have the entire file 
at once but would need to format the text.

Hi.
I am using 3.6. I can highlight and copy say B6:F6 (a selection in row 
6).


I can highlight B37:b47 (several other rows) and paste and I paste the 
copy from above into all of the rows so that the cells B6:F6 are 
repeated in b37:f37 to b47:f47.


Are you saying you cannot do that. I vaguely recollect that at one 
point in the past I observed your result but in 3.6 it works as above.


Steve




Many of these "bugs" from version 3.5.x and early 3.6.x has been fixed 
in the latest 3.6.5/3.6.6 [coming out next week]and 4.0.x that is the 
newest version/line.


I know that Ubuntu 12.04 installed 3.5.x by default, but you really 
should try the newer versions for the very fact that each version is 
meant to fix previous version's bugs as well as add productivity 
features.  I wish that Ubuntu would update their repository to the 
newest version of 3.6.x, but they have not.


Please try 3.6.5/.6 on your system [which needs to have 3.5.7 removed 
first] and you might really like the changes.  Or, you could give 4.0.2 
a try.


I run my main system [desktop] on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with MATE desktop 
environment.  The laptops use 12.10 and one will be used to test 13.04 
at the end of the month.  I am now running 4.0.2 on all my systems.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

[Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

I have heard that the RPi system uses a Debian based OS that was 
"modified/compiled" for the RPi, and that the LO version for the RPi was 
compiled from the Debian-based source code to work efficiently on the 
RPi's specific architecture.  The RPi speed is similar to a P4 300 to 
700 MHz depending on the OS, the model [A or B],  and tweaks to the 
hardware.


The good news for US, LO and TDF, is the RPi is near its 1 million mark 
of made/sold units and its default office package is LibreOffice.  Even 
if a quarter of those some units have had the user installed LO on them, 
that will give LO a set of young [or no so young] users.  The user count 
for that could be 200,000 or more world wide.  Getting the young school 
kids started with LO should tend to make them want to use LO on more 
traditional and more powerful systems.


As for the RPi/Pi system. . . . .
It was designed for the education market.  They are inexpensive basic 
one-board systems to help teach school age kids how to program in a few 
languages, like Python, and by using a attachable controller to be able 
to create simple [and complex] electronic devices/system for robotics 
and controller systems.  They were meant to be low costing entry level 
systems for those kids and schools that did not have the budgets to buy 
all of the needed "units" for their computer lab to have one computer 
per student in the lab.  Actually, with the SD card having both the OS 
and data/programs, the student could have a RPi at home and bring in the 
SD card he/she was using and work on the same OS and data/program in the 
school's lab.  No need to have a networked server with student accounts 
and such.  The RPi was designed to work as well as it could at the 
lowest cost possible to the schools and the kids.



Atom based, and similar, systems were not powerful enough for my needs 
for home/office and mobile needs.


So I forgot all of the tricks and tweaks that could be used in the 
slower systems still out there for used systems and for sale in the 
small foot-print system that have Atom and similar speed/power CPUs.



For me, even a single core AMD 3500+ CPU with 512 - 1,024 MB RAM desktop 
seems too slow for my needs.  My Intel dual core T3200 2.0 GHz CPU and 3 
GB RAM DELL laptop seems slow to me now.  My new[er] dual core Intel 
Pentium B950 2.1 GHz with 4 GB RAM Gateway laptop is better, but not 
up-to my quad desktop I bought in Feb 2010.  I needed the power/speed of 
the quad for my home/office use.

Sadly i suspect that it's really going to take someone building it

Yes, the sheet is not complex enough for the file to be large and
slow.

We must have a user out there that knows tricks for speeding up Atom

[libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc sheet freezing

[V Stuart Foote]

Several ways of answering this come to mind, but I'll go with the gentler
tact.

You have some questions to ask yourself (and your collaborators).

What is your desired end use--will this Excel 2003 spread sheet continue to
be used on Excel 2003?

If not will your use be exclusively on LibreOffice or a mix of Apache
OpenOffice and LibreOffice?

Do you or some number of your users understand what data is being charted
and how? Are you (they) familiar with both the Microsoft macros and the
LibreOffice macros?

Where I'm going is that depending on your intended use, you will need to
--port-- the spread sheet either for use in calc.  But likely for use in
Excel 2007, or  2010 or 2012-- there is that much variation in the macro
scripting between the Microsoft products.

Sorry, but without seeing the function and logic of your existing spread
sheet, the most we'll be able to do is suggest steps in doing a port.

[libreoffice-users] Calc sheet freezing

[Karen DInse]

Windows XP LO 4.0.0.3

We have a Calc spreadsheet, originally designed in Excel 2003.  The first
sheet has the data entry, and the second sheet shows the graphs, pulled from
the data on the first sheet.  The graphs are on 4-5 pages.  When working in
the Calc version, a green bar flashes across the bottom of the page saying
that it is saving.  That would be fine, except that it keeps saying that it
is saving, and it locks the Calc program completely.  The only way that we
can get out of the Calc sheet is to Ctrl-Alt-Del and end the task.  

The time we have the Calc sheet open varies; anywhere from 10 - 60 minutes. 
We could be entering data, or just have the Calc sheet open to view, and it
starts trying to save.  

We are currently saving our documents in MSO format, XLS.  We just tried
saving the document in ODS format, and we got a 'Write error' (not sure
why).  Because of the nature of the document, we are not able to post it.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Any ideas as to what is causing this,
or how we can correct it?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Exclude page numbers from TOC

[Virgil Arrington]

This wasn't my problem to begin with, but I just tried Girvin's suggestion 
for fun and it didn't work for me. I deleted both the "tab" and "page 
number" entries. Updating the TOC did nothing. I tried deleting the TOC and 
starting from scratch, this time not including the dot leader tab or the 
page number. When I generated the TOC, it gave me both page numbers and dot 
leaders anyway.


I imagine I'm doing something wrong as I generally blame myself before 
blaming the program. But


This is one feature of LO (and OO before it) that I've always despised. 
There has to be a better, more intuitive way to generate a TOC.


I would recommend that the LO developers take a look at Atlantis 
(www.atlantiswordprocessor.com). It generates TOC's much more easily.


I'm still using LO 3.6.5.2 with Win7.

Thomas,
I can tell you how to remove the page number, but I have no idea how to
insert a link in its place.
To remove the page number from the TOC:

  1. Right click on the TOC with the unwanted page numbers and select
 the edit option.
  2. In the dialog, select the "Entries" tab at the top.
  3. In the "Structure" line, there is a [ # ] item (for Page number)
 on the right end.  Select this item and press Delete.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Right click on the TOC again and select "Update index/table".
  6. The page numbers should disappear.  (I say "should", because I
 have never actually needed to do this.)

Note that there is a "Hyperlink" button on the "Entries" tab which may
be what you want.  Maybe someone else on this forum can help you with
that.  Note also, that you may wish to remove the hanging tab [ T ] on
the right end now, which would remove the ellipses ("") on the end
of the TOC entry.
Hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Oracle Report Builder - Text field overflow and N.aN problem

[Girvin R. Herr]

Noel,
I don't think you should have a problem between 3.5 and 3.6 
installation.  The files, at least on my Linux machine, are in separate 
directories.  LO 3.5 is in libreoffice3.5,  LO 3.6 is in libreoffice3.6, 
and even openoffice 3.x is in openoffice.org3.  So, these versions 
should co-exist on the same computer without conflict.  There has been 
much discussion about this very subject in past postings on this forum.


However, the same is not true for your personal configuration (options, 
etc.).  On my Linux machine, the configuration files are in 
/home//.config/libreoffice/3.  So, both 3.5 and 3.6 will use the 
same configuration directory.  User-installed extensions seem to be 
registered in this directory also. So, the bottom line is that you may 
indeed have to uninstall your ORB extension prior to installing LO 3.6, 
if only just to ensure a clean start on 3.6.  Alternately, you could 
rename this directory to something else temporarily, such as 3.5.  That 
way, if 3.6 doesn't gain you anything, you can always go back to 3.5 by 
renaming the directory back to 3 again.  (Make sure LO is not running 
when you do this.)


Someone else in this forum may be able to specify exactly when Report 
Builder was first bundled into LibreOfiice, but I first noticed it 
around 3.5.3.

Hope this helps.

I take it that Report Builder is part of the download of LO 3.6.5, (which I

investigate fully, so I went back to LO 3.5.6.2).  If I try LO 3.6.5,

Sorry about my previous post.  Hit the wrong button and sent it

With Oracle Report Builder it does not seem to be possible to have a text
field overflow into the next line and push everything below that down a
line.  (I'm porting an application from an old Paradox system and this was
possible in Paradox reports.)  If I make the text box double height in
Report Builder, then the second line appears OK, but most of the records
don't need a second line and end up being double spaced.  Is there any
work
around for this?

What I have tried is to use a macro to check the length of each text
string
,
and if it exceeds 40 characters then I create a second record to contain
the excess characters.
I've almost got it working as shown below -

N.aN  Dr
The problem is the N.aN in the amount column.  In the Table this field is
blank, but Report Builder displays it as N.aN which I understand means
'Not
a Number'.  I want it to be blank in the Report.  I've tried all sort of
possibilities in Conditional Print in the General Tab for that field, but
nothing seems to work.  Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

One final question - is there a better alternative to Oracle Report
Builder?


I am running LibreOffice 3.5.6.2, Oracle Report Builder 1.2.1 and Windows

I am running LO 3.6.4.3 (Linux) and it has "Report Builder" version 1.2.3
bundled in.  So something has been changed.  You might try that upgrade.
Note that "Oracle Report Builder" is a term that Apache Open Office still
uses for their report builder extension.  However, LibreOffice uses just
"Report Builder" when referring to their bundled report builder extension.
 So your use of the ORB term is confusing, since theoretically you could
install the Oracle Report Builder over top of the LO-bundled Report
Builder.  You need to inform this forum just which RB you are using.

As Gordom has found OpenOffice regular expression handling in Find/Replace

But it all functions well enough once you get past the warts.

I think the best write up still lies with the Apache OpenOffice project

With regular expression checked I searched for /t and as test replaced

Re: [libreoffice-users] Find & Replace and \t expression [Writer]

Does it mean that you can both:
- search for tabs using \t expression and also
- replace any symbol with tab using \t expression
???

With regular expression checked I searched for /t and as test replaced 
with a. I believe the opposite direction will work since /t is the 
escape sequence for tab. The /t usage dates way back as a method of 
identifying where tabs are located.


I use LO 4.0.2.2 on Win XP SP 3 and I can only search for tabs using 
\t expression but I can't replace any symbols with a tab.

Is there someplace one can find a list of these escape sequences that 
might be used for search and replace?

[libreoffice-users] Calc problem

[Paul Schwartz]

I am using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 in Ubuntu 12.04. Ever since I changed from
OpenOffice I have noticed that Calc will not allow me to copy a selection
of cells in one row to several other rows. It only allows me to do one cell
to a range in a column.

Does anybody have this problem? Is it a bug that has been discussed
previously? If not, why not?

Thanks

Paul

I just noticed we are using different OSes and builds (Linux Mint and
4.0.2.1). \t works fine for me so I wonder if there is a regression in
4.0.2.2. I doubt the OS difference is important.




Well, I made some farther tests (also using OO 3.0.1 and LO 4.0.1.2 - 
both portable versions). It seems that all of these builds are affected, 
so I wasn't quite strict previously. Anyway, I found the solution 
(however the results are a little bit odd to me). Let say there is some 
text e.g.:


Arg aarega aerga aerg
arga opjwg nklsawertg
Wnmikfg erger 8
fm fbdklfn bfg'mlkfg

I want to put a tab in the end of each line. If I search for $ and 
replace it with \t\n I will get the following result (\t is treated 
literally):


Arg aarega aerga aerg\t
arga opjwg nklsawertg\t
Wnmikfg erger 8\t
fm fbdklfn bfg'mlkfg\t

But if I search for last symbol of each line by putting .$ and replace 
it with &\t I got what I wanted (i.e. tab in the end of each line).


Two step approach also works. I can search for the line ending mark 
using $ and replace it with any temporary symbol that will be replaced 
by tab \t later on.


I still don't know why $ expression can't be replaced into \t directly.

gordom

[libreoffice-users] Calc - How do I preserve number format for printing?

[paulwhitehurst]

When I print a spreadsheet the number format isn't preserved.  I use a format
that shows two decimal places.  When I print integers they have no ".00" and
formulas have a long string past the decimal.  It appears correct inside the
spreadsheet.

Thanks,

Re: [libreoffice-users] Differences with LO & OO

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Could you try renaming your User Profile for whichever one is 
misreading the pages?  This link is for LibreOffice but it is adapted 
from the guide for OpenOffice that was originally written by Hagar. 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
It sounds like you are having some very weird and unusual problems.  

Editable formats do often appear slightly differently in different programs but 
usually that is more to do with the default printer&settings on different 
machines.  Usually it's just a repositioning of images, often piling them up on 
top of each other.  

On a single machine there shouldn't be so much difference and certainly not as 
extreme as changing landscape to portrait or vice-versa.  Can you create a 
landscape document in OOo and see if that is opened correctly in OOo?  

Something i noticed is that it sometimes helps to start a fresh document.  For 
example 'my' company's newsletter started in Word but kept crashing.  Opening 
in LO worked better but still had problems.  It got even better when i started 
using Odt format and at last started letting me move photos and stuff around 
more freely.  Then starting again as a fresh Odt document and copy&pasting in 
various elements finally got rid of all sorts of petty niggles.  Then in 
subsequent branches of LO some other petty niggles have crept back in which 
suggests i need to start again from scratch.  

We have found that it takes a LOT less time to produce the newsletter in LO and 
it's more stable.  Outsiders have started commenting on how much more 
professional it looks since using LO.  

The problem might be with the Odt format but you get the same and worse using 
MS formats such as Rtf, DocX and so on.  The ones that seem to cause the least 
problems are the older Doc format or the Odt.  

Although it does sound as though you are getting some very unusual problems 
though!  So hopefully just renaming your User Profile might well fix the problem
Regards from 
Tom :)

That still leaves the question of why two different, though related,

Yes, that seems to work for the OP too, so that was not what he was
asking, as it seems.

It seems like the OP believed that too, but still it didn't work.

Yes, the OP mentioned that too in his first post. Still it didn't work for him.
And you didn't even try it, so still he knows absolutely nothing more
than before creating this thread.
Unfortunately I am still with 3.6, so I can't help either. Sorry for that.

Tried to do that but nothing happens.
Each line has different long so I set a tab at 17cm (which is the right
margin), right type with hyphen filler but, as said, nothing happens. I'm
using 4.0.1 in Debian Wheezy.

Thanks krackedpress but don't worry to much for me.

After a couple of days I will play on my desktop (1) and I will be happy.
Even on the EeePc I am not sad (2), I am happy, but slowlier.

I will answer to all the question about this issue if you think we can help
the others users.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Sadly i suspect that it's really going to take someone building it from source 
code in order to make much faster.  Current builds and standard downloads are 
built against very different architecture.  It might be worth exploring the Pi 
project to see if they have a usable build but that might still be not quite 
perfect on other Atom machines.  The Pi one is likely to be shed loads better 
even if not quite perfect.  

Sorry, i should have thought of it before!
Apols and regards from 
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Differences with LO & OO

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Weirdly it was never really OOo in openSUSE, Ubuntu or most of the others.  It 
was marketed as being OOo but in fact they combined resources to produce a fork 
called Go-oo.  

LibreOffice started largely from the Go-oo fork.  Well, it was the OOo code but 
Go-oo merged with that very soon after LO became independent.  That was the 
main reason why LibreOffice was so much more developed and had so many 
bug-fixes so fast.  A lot of the patches and developments that Sun had blocked 
had already been tested and used for years in openSUSE, Ubuntu and others.  I 
think almost all the Go-oo devs moved into LibreOffice and they even modified 
their website to say that Go-oo had moved to LO and ceased being a separate 
fork.  One of the main devs in LibreOffice is from the SUSE project and kinda 
seconded to TDF and LO but was formerly kinda seconded to Go-oo.  

So, really you have always been using LibreOffice just that it was really Go-oo 
before and loosely called OpenOffice.org just to avoid confusing the outside 
world with so many different forks and names.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

- replace any symbol with tab using \t expression
???


With regular expression checked I searched for /t and as test replaced
with a. I believe the opposite direction will work since /t is the
escape sequence for tab. The /t usage dates way back as a method of
identifying where tabs are located.



Obviously it doesn't work for me. I'm able to search for \t but I 
can't use \t in replace with box. But I agree, it use to work in 
previous versions of OO and LO indeed. Something was changed in LO 4. 
This problem occurs at least on my machine.


I just noticed we are using different OSes and builds (Linux Mint and 
4.0.2.1). \t works fine for me so I wonder if there is a regression in 
4.0.2.2. I doubt the OS difference is important.




I use LO 4.0.2.2 on Win XP SP 3 and I can only search for tabs using
\t expression but I can't replace any symbols with a tab.

Regards,
gordom

Hi krackedpress,

This is accounting. I try to explain in details:

Three lines and for each three columns of numeric datas and two of text .
Two colums are the sums of the expenses for each account => for one of them
I have 24 lines and three colums: one for text, one for the expenses and one
for the dates. For the two others I have three columns : one of text  and
two of expenses. For one of this both account  I have 25 lines and for the
last one 8 lines. I have two celles more with a sum in each. Nothing more
complicated except different colors. 18 cells with sums.

My LO version is 4.0.1.2 (in french).

Number of operations : 100.
Memory for LO : 20 Mo
Memory per item : 5,2 Mo.

My file : 24,6 ko (28 on the disk).

Thanks.

Jacques


Thanks

Yes, the sheet is not complex enough for the file to be large and slow.

We must have a user out there that knows tricks for speeding up Atom 
systems.

I replaced tabs using \t with regular expressions clicked on in Replace.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Differences with LO & OO

[James Knott]

It was created in about 4 years ago, so it would have been created in 
OO, though I don't recall the version.  However, I have been working 
with it in LO, ever since it replaced OO in openSUSE.

I have both LibreOffice and OpenOffice on my computers.  One thing 
I've noticed is that documents don't always appear the same in them.  
For example, I have one document which is a table in landscape mode 
in LO, but appears in portrait mode in OO.  Is this a problem with 
Open Document Formats?  Or one of the apps?
