That's exactly the brochure facility that I described in response to your previous enquiry. To print an A5 booklet on (folded) A4 paper: o Set your page format in LibreOffice Writer to A5 and Portrait - so it is the actual format that you want in the finished document. o Set your printer's settings to A4 and Landscape - as the printing will actually be. o Either: Tick Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Print | Pages | Brochure Or (on the fly): In the Print dialogue, tick Options... | Pages | Brochure.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Linux hyphenation
Hi :) You could always install the 4.0.5 by downloading directly from the upstream website at https://www.libreoffice.org/downloads errr, something like that. I just typed it rather than copypasted it because i've already got far t many tabs open and so i keep losing track of where anything is. There are 3 main ways of installing software 1. Stick to the default repos and only use the package managers to find and install stuff 2. Add extra repos, PPAs and similar repositories of software that has been tweaked for your system 3. Go upstream directly to whichever random website you think might be a legitimate download site for the program you are looking for and cross your fingers 4. Get a Cd or Dvd and hope that it really is what you were looking for and is legit and doesn't have malware bundled with it 5. Find the original source code and check it's legitimate and have a quick read through to see if anything dodgy jumps out at you and then compile from source Lets ignore 5, especially in Ubuntu and other gateway distros. you kinda need coding skills and a lot of patience because compiling is a slow painful process best left to the experts. Windows only offers options 3 and 4 (which are both really the same option) and that puts you at the mercy of people who might only be familiar with 1 program and may well have no idea about your system. So i copy what microsoft.com keep saying - i recommend that you normally avoid this route but you can trust us (honest guv) Each route has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Different people will recommend slightly different routes but may not tell you the drawbacks. I tend to stick with 1 as much as possible and get most of my stuff from there but of course i add some PPAs and the Medibuntu repos (Medibuntu deals with all the multimedia stuff i enjoy using (thanks folks!)). I only use option 3 for LibreOffice and Evolution. In both cases it's because i happen to prefer the untweaked version and i like to only upgrade them when i want to (and not halfway through doing the newsletter or something big). So, i get no automatic updates nor upgrades but if i put the time in then i can be on the ultra-latest versions faster without having to wait for anyone else. If i had to install LibreOffice on my dad's boat i would go for the Dvd because connecting to the internet is such a pain from his. There are a few i would trust. The North American Dvd Project is an excellent one and a lot of time and hard work goes into those Dvds. Generally they are worth at least twice as much as they cost, possibly more. I'm not nearly as involved in that as their website suggests! Mostly it's the heroic work of just 1 man. Anyway, point is that if you want the ultra-latest versions soon after they come out then you kinda have to talk to the PPA or repo maintainers but they are never going to be as fast as you can be by downloading directly off the upstream downloads page.

Re: [libreoffice-users]
Hi :) Thanks :) So prolly not hugely useful for LibreOffice or MS formats. LibreOffice does have a couple of tools built-in. There is a Track changes and a Compare Documents but we occasionally get a thread grumbling about them not being perfect. It's pretty rare but when i stumbled across mention of Meld recently upgrading i wondered if it might be a good answer next time we get a grumble. It sounds like Meld had a few issues itself but their announcement suggests that they have recently fixed tons of problems so it might be worth another try for non-Office stuff. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, it's good to have feedback from someone with useful experience.

Haven't used it (or any of the others) for LO or MS Office files, though. It's pretty good for plain text files like config files or source code. I've used it on generated files before (Visual Studio form files), and it was helpful, but blocks of text that were the same tended to be moved around arbitrarily, and showed up as differences in the file. I'm not sure how much of a problem that would be with LO source files, but in theory it should be helpful for determining if two copies of a file are different, and by how much. That might allow you to determine which version is more recent, that sort of thing. Ideally I suppose one would want an LO viewer that allowed one to load two files side-by-side, and scroll them in tandem. Maybe even have differences, additions and deletions highlighted. A custom LO diff tool, essentially. But short of that, something like Meld is probably going to be useful.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Linux hyphenation
Hi :) Ahhh, the Wubi. For most people it does work really well and for many years but just occasionally it runs into weird problems that just don't happen on a proper dual-boot system. The Wubi is installed inside Windows and depends on MS Windows co-operating with the Ubuntu. Various crucial systems such as the boot-loader and the file-system are basically MS systems instead of the proper GnuLinux ones. The GnuLinux ones are built to be stable. Years ago several antivirus programs would inaccurately report various false-positives. There are other distros which also have clever ways of installing inside Windows without having to resort to too many layers or emulators or virtual machines but the whole idea seems flawed to me. MS are not renowned for co-operating with other systems. Still, a lot of good work goes in and the systems are usually stable for most people but a few are unlucky without any obvious reason.

[libreoffice-users] Multi-test IF statement in Calc
I'm trying to build an IF statement that tests if a condition exists in two columns, and assigns the number 1 if it does, and 0 if not. The columns being checked are vLookups which return #NA if an ID is not found in another table. I'm trying to search for cases where an ID# IS returned in two columns meaning the record shows up in both tables. I can't figure out the syntax for this. I've tried IF(AND(A1#NA; B1#NA),1,0) on both the vlookup formula columns and on columns that are pasted without formulas. No luck yet. Can someone chime in on this? Many thanks in advance. -- Carl Paulsen Dover, NH 03820 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] MariaDB 5.5.33 Now Available
I just checked the Slackware Current (unreleased yet, but available for testing) website again to see if the release notes had been updated with the reason to switch from MySQL to MariaDB. Alas, they have not updated that file from the 14.0 release yet. I think you are correct in that there are a lot of applications, including KDE4 I discovered, that use MySQL and Slack must verify they will all work with MariaDB before they release a distro with it. As another datapoint, I just checked the Slack 14.0 release, the latest release, and MariaDB is not included in the extra directory of the distro. That implies that back when 14.0 was released (c. 2012), Slack was not intending to replace MySQL with MariaDB. The extra directory usually contains experimental packages that Slack is considering, but they have not yet tested them enough to include them in the normal installation. From what I saw on the current website, MariaDB is not going to be in the extra directory, but in the installation itself. That change is a big step and a fast decision by Slackware - that is, if it is not changed before the release of current. On a personal note, my biggest concern is whether MariaDB will work with the Oracle Java connector I am using to interface with LO Base, or do I have to research all that again to get the correct configuration. mysql-connector-java-5.1.18 jdk/jre-6u37 Yes, it is old, but it works and I don't have to deal with the paranoid Oracle website.

They are different systems, therefore they have different stability issues. Any two parts that are *different* will have the potential for different problems. In this case there is the additional factor that these subsystems are integral to the whole, and many other parts of the system further down the line are made with the assumption that these underlying subsystems function a certain way. In well written systems, subsystems make as few assumptions about other parts of the system as possible, but it does still happen more often that one would hope for. And when they are as different as linux and windows are, sometimes those assumptions become invalidated, which can cause further instability.

If you apply De Morgan's laws to the expression AND(NOT(X);NOT(Y)) it simplifies to NOT(OR(X;Y)) so we can simplify your formula to =IF(NOT(OR(ISNA(A1);ISNA(B1))),1,0) But we can do more. The result of the NOT() function - which you are then testing using the IF() function - is a logical value, TRUE or FALSE. But such logical values can be (mis)interpreted as numbers, with TRUE being one and FALSE zero - exactly the values you require. So we don't need the IF() function at all. Just use =NOT(OR(ISNA(A1);ISNA(B1))) This function will give you a logical result: TRUE or FALSE. But if you format the result cells as Number, you will see the ones and zeroes that you seek. If you wish to calculate further with these values, you don't even have to worry about formatting: just use them in arithmetic as they are. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [HOW] impagination like a BOOK?
CUPS-PDF is my default printer. It has all of the needed options to create a PDF file that other programs would want/ LO has the export to PDF options, but I tend to use CUPS-PDF for printing web pages and then physically printing only the sheets that I want. You can also decide what the file resolution was to be, including 600 and 1200 DPI and the image quality/compression that goes into the file. doPDF is similar, but is for Windows. There are some big advantages to having a PDF printer installed, even with LO's export to PDF. I use both equally when I need a PDF file from a LO document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Linux hyphenation
I've tried both the Wubi install and a proper dual boot system of Windows and Ubuntu. It's been a long time, so I can't recall exactly why, but it seems that the Wubi installation gave me something that the true dual-boot system didn't. I seem to remember that, in the true dual boot system, I couldn't use LO in Ubuntu to access the documents in my Windows partition. There seemed to be greater separation between the Windows and Ubuntu sides of things. But, in the Wubi installation, I could easily access my Windows system by going through File System/Host. And, when I went to delete the proper Ubuntu partition, I was met with the horrible grub loader that I had to undo and fix before I could even boot from Windows again. So, I preferred Wubi, even though I knew that it wasn't a real Linux system. My problem now is that I really want to like Linux. I don't want to keep relying on MS and Windows, etc., but every time I try Linux in any form, I come across some roadblock that prevents me from committing. I've tried several versions of Ubuntu, both Wubi and proper as Tom puts it, and I've tried the Windows installation of Mint 15 (both 32 and 62 bit). After a while, I realize I'm spending a ton of time just trying to make my Linux system catch up to what I can already accomplish in Windows. Even LO works better for me in Windows than in Linux. Simple things like getting my style list box to properly dock to one side of the screen works easily in Windows, but I could never get it to work properly in Ubuntu (but I could in Mint... go figure). And, I had some keyboard issues with my numeric keypad in both Mint and Ubuntu -- nothing major, but an irritation nonetheless. I still have a Mint installation on a jump drive. For now, when I want to play, I'll just boot from that and gain more experience. Once I learn more then I may invest the time and effort into a proper Linux system.

For most people it does work really well and for many years but just occasionally it runs into weird problems that just don't happen on a proper dual-boot system. The Wubi is installed inside Windows and depends on MS Windows co-operating with the Ubuntu. Various crucial systems such as the boot-loader and the file-system are basically MS systems instead of the proper GnuLinux ones. The GnuLinux ones are built to be stable. Years ago several antivirus programs would inaccurately report various false-positives. There are other distros which also have clever ways of installing inside Windows without having to resort to too many layers or emulators or virtual machines but the whole idea seems flawed to me. MS are not renowned for co-operating with other systems. Still, a lot of good work goes in and the systems are usually stable for most people but a few are unlucky without any obvious reason.

Surely the famous stack'em high, sell'em cheap comes from the ability of tabloids to undercut the more serious newspapers. Everything else is better quality, even toilet paper (actually my granny could sometimes make the sunday papers last all week this way). The sheets were so porous that they were also a firm favourite for wrapping fishchips in for the walk back from the chippie (preferably not the same bit of paper as was used for the other use). Then that was banned because the print was smudge off the page and while that added to the flavour (again the 2nd use rather than the 1st) is was discovered to be a little bit toxic. So i thought we were trying to put the tabloid paper behind us and upgrade. It's interesting to hear that tabloid paper is now considered more official and desirable for printing news!

It is hard to find it locally, so I usually have to order it online. I can never find the 13x19 inch paper, so it is also an online purchase. Shipping costs or paper can be expensive, snip / -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
