Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with eLAIX extension on LibO 4.0
Thanks, Niklas and Fernand. I just reinstalled once more eLAIX 4.0.3 and now it runs perfectly. Anyway, before reinstalling it, I check the BASIC macros and LibO had eLAIX there (under My macros), but, apparently, some of the paths were wrong. Maybe because I first installed eLAIX on LibO 4.1 and then downgrade to 4.0? No idea, but still it works now, so thanks everybody! Joaquín Hi Joaquín It sounds like the macro code is not located where the toolbar thinks it's located or is missing. If you press Alt+F11 Under My macros (Mina makron in Swedish) do you find a eLAIX? if not do you see eLAIX under LibreOffice Macros (LibreOffice-makron)? I did personally not have any issues installing and using the extension on LibreOffice 4.0.4 on Windows 7 64-bit so it should be compatible with that version. Just to make sure, you have reinstalled the extension, in any case do it again and see if you get any different result. Something might have gone wrong when you upgraded that might be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the extension.

[libreoffice-users] Installing 4.1 on OpenSuse
Hi all, I make my first steps in using Linux and have got a OpenSuse 12.3 on my old Notebook. Now I try to install LO4.1. I have download the archive, unpacked it and followed the instructions in its readme. I can get the single modules from the application launcher, but there remain two problems. (1) The instruction mention a directory desktop-integration to be in the folder RPMS, but there is no such directory. (2) I want to get an icon on the desktop, which launches the start center, not a specific module. How do I get that?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing 4.1 on OpenSuse
Hi :D Wow!! :) You are kidding right? We get a chance to help you for once rather than the other way around?? 1. The instructions are out-of-date but only by 1 version number. Desktop integration got pulled into the main thing so you have already done that part. :) 2. For this one we kinda need to know which Desktop Environment you chose for your openSuSE. On their downloads page they give 2 within 1 click, Gnome and KDE; http://software.opensuse.org/123/en but many others are within easy reach (allegedly) Blackbox, GNOME, IceWM, KDE, LXDE, Openbox, WMaker, Xfce some of which might be better on a lower spec or older machine so it's possible you went for one of those. If you copypaste the name of the download then we might be able to tell from that. If you didn't get advice about which might be best then this list might have led you to get the Gnome one, which is excellent. KDE used to have a reputation for being heavy and slow but i think it's reversed that in recent years. Whichever one you have it is quite likely that all you need do is find LibreOffice in the menus, right-click and choose Add to panel or Add to desktop. Adding to panel means getting a link somewhere on your taskbar so it's much the same as the Quick Launcher in Xp, Win2k, ME, Win98 or like the pinned to taskbar in Win7. So it's not quite the same but does put it in easy reach all the time. Btw you can find the official openSuSE forums and stuff at http://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php i got that link from DistroWatch http://distrowatch.com/suse which lists the help forums, download sites and shed-loads more about each different distro. There's very few it doesn't cover. openSuSE is now 6th in their listings. Also a more general forum (that covers many different distros so sometimes the answers need a bit of minor interpreting (which we could do if you gave us their answers)) http://www.linuxquestions.org Welcome in btw!!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Feature Request
Hi :) 1. I actually prefer this method of support. When i ask a question it's usually because i am not aware of all the variables and so it's difficult to ask exactly the right question. This method of support means we often answer the right question even if that was not exactly the question that was asked. So, it's easier to ask and then try to guide the answers in light of what people respond with. 2. You can probably still Alt and drag your window around but now you just don't need to because you can also drag normally now. 3. Hmm, if GEdit is behaving and LO isn't then it's either a very specific setting in your DE that is making one or the other behave unusually or it is a setting in either GEdit or LO. If you could try with a couple more apps then it might help to pinpoint which 1 is getting special treatment.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Calc] how to make this formula more compact?

However it works, it doesn't seem to be very elegant right now. I'd probably do something like =2013-MID(A1;3;2)-MID(A1;6;2) MID(A1;9;2):MID(A1;12;2):RIGHT(A1;2) instead. Only you can decide whether this is more elegant. But notice that your formula does not create what I would call a proper date and time format, but instead a text string that looks like a date and time value. (So does my version, of course.) To see the difference, try adding 1 to the date and time value. In your case you will get the result 1, since the text string is treated as zero, but adding one to a genuine date and time value produces a time exactly one day later. You can convert the result of either formula to a real date and time using =DATEVALUE(B1)+TIMEVALUE(B1) and then formatting the result cell appropriately (as -MM-DD HH:MM:SS). You can build this idea into my version by using =DATEVALUE(2013-MID(A1;3;2)-MID(A1;6;2))+TIMEVALUE(MID(A1;9;2):MID(A1;12;2):RIGHT(A1;2)) But that leads to what is perhaps a simpler version: =DATE(2013;MID(A1;3;2);MID(A1;6;2))+TIME(MID(A1;9;2);MID(A1;12;2);RIGHT(A1;2)) Again, you need to format the result cell to display the date and time as you wish to see them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing 4.1 on OpenSuse
Hi :) This is all true but LibreOffice and Evolution are exceptions because most repos have such older versions that most people want to upgrade. LO has some tweaks for different DEs (that's what the desktop integration is about (i think)) and so mostly it's preferable to have the more advanced features rather than just a slightly nicer looking one. LO looks quite nice enough from the site as it is. Also i don't think there is a problem with dependency issues. Mostly the package managers take care of all that although some distros make that quite tough (not looking at anyone in particular Girvin (Slackware right?)). I think you state that in point 3 so i am just agreeing there. There is not much danger of the problems in 4 although it's theoretically possible.

Repo named LO Stable with version 4.0.3 with URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Stable/openSUSE_12.3/ 2. Repo named LO Unstable with version 4.1.0 with URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Unstable/openSUSE_12.3/ These repos must update automatically when newer version of LO come out and so you can update your installed LO in the future only with some clicks, no more efforts.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Installing 4.1 on OpenSuse
Hello Davies, In the case of LO you're right and manual install will not cause any issue. But as a typical user of Linux I prefer installing applications from the default or 3rd party repo. Because this way is easier and mainly because of AUTOMATIC UPDATE capability. But many members of this list (like you and Regina) are more than just typical users of Linux and are somehow professional LO users. Therefor in this case you're right and manual install can be a good option too. Anyway it's up to you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing 4.1 on OpenSuse
Hi Regina, welcome to the wonderful world of linux. Feel free to ask questions as there is a learning curve :) I am not familiar with Suse but most linux flavours have a few consistencies. Not strictly answering your question but my thoughts: 1. With linux you are likely to have a number of workspaces and you can navigate left to right by using CTRL-ALT-Right Arrow or Left Arrow 2. I normally dedicate a workspace to LO (in my case workspace 4) 3. When I go to the desktop menu I can select the Office TAB and select (eg.) LibreOffice Writer which opens a blank document 4. F4 to close this document 5. the LO start center should appear on your desktop 6. I just leave the start center in that workspace whenever I need to use it Now a couple of qualifiers: I guess you are using KDE and I am not familiar with how you access the menu in step 3 (according to the doco there should be an office icon at the top of the screen - I am guessing you are not seeing that) Normally the office tab will have a libreoffice option which removes the need to open up a blank doc. A well intentioned update to 4.1 is causing a bit of strife in this regard.

[libreoffice-users] Linux Mint icon theme for Libre Office
Hello, I am working on a Mint-X icon theme for Libre Office. Mint-X is the default theme for Linux Mint. Clement Lefebvre, the project leader of Linux Mint, has already included my work in Mint 15 Olivia and an updated version will be part of Mint 16. We are having problems with the implementation though, because our theme is not among the supported themes on Libre Office. We had to pretend to be another theme for it to be detected. Specifically, we named it images_human.zip because I noticed that Ubuntu's theme Human is supported. What steps do I need to take to have our icon theme included in Libre Office? Hoping for a favorable response.

Hello, This is not a bug. I guess the document was written in a bi-directional enabled Writer using Hindi Numerals. To fix it do: 1- Tools-Options-Language_Settings-Languages-Enhanced_language_support-Show UI elements for Bi-Directional writing 2- OK (which closes options) 3- Go to options-Language_Settings again and then you should find Complex Text Layout or Bi-Directional Layout or something like that (3rd in the list). 4- General_options-Numerals=Context (I guess it should currently be Hindi) Respond back if this answer worked.
