Re: [libreoffice-users] [Calc, LibO 4.4] Bug on .ODS to .XLSX file conversion?
Hi :) Yeh, i don't know a good way around that :( other than the way you already use! :)) People used to be quite happy with the idea of downloading Adobe Acrobat to read Pdfs with. It used to be that almost any website that shared any kind of document tended to only have them as Pdfs and also then 'had to' have a button to help people download and install an Adobe Pdf Reader. We hardly see any of that these days but that is quite a recent change. There were objections from people working in the council, or other government offices or in big companies that they couldn't install anything and thus couldn't use the format that everyone else seemed to be using so much. Now they seem to use Pdf more than everyone else, and even demand that other people use it!

It's up to your operating system to start whatever application you want to use when you double-click a document file. LibreOffice will have set associations for .odt, .ods, etc. file types in your operating system when you installed it; you may or may not have accepted its offer to set associations for .doc, .xls, etc. file types. Is that something peculiar to Windows? No. Or another so-called improvement like the disabling of the styles menu? No. Can I change this behavior? Yes. One way is to run the LibreOffice installation again, this time accepting the offer to set associations for Microsoft Office document file types (if that is your problem). Otherwise, you can set associations individually and manually. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default . I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [Calc, LibO 4.4] Bug on .ODS to .XLSX file conversion?
That's interesting. Examining the beginning of one of the big sheets in both case, we see that LibreOffice is *very* verbose with what it save. If I understand it correctly, LO save informations about *every* cells, including empty ones. Which is very odd, since it does not do it with *every* sheets. This does not explain why MSO have to repair the files though. Maybe the devs would be interested in this test case. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2015-04-23 20:12 GMT+02:00 RamonTavarez ramontava...@gmail.com: Check the post, I've uploaded the requested file.

In use LibO for every document I create, even I update every version of LibO as the module for my Linux distro: Porteus. On the other hand,I can understand the situation with MSOffice and how they refuse the OpenDocument formats, but I still worry about the big file size for those files not supported by the classical file type. This can lead erroneously, as you said, to people to believe that everyone else made bad spreadsheet programs and everyone should stick with MS. Thanks. *Ramón E.

Each different version of MS Office uses slightly different versions. There are at least 3 different transitional versions of the format and they are not always compatible with each other. If you take the XlsX that was saved by MS Office 2013 and try opening it in another version of MS Office, say 2010 or 2007, or even 365 then you may well find it's been opened in Compatibility Mode or even that it doesn't work at all in extreme cases. Chances are that some things will have moved around or vanished, especially if you have anything in a frame (such as images). It makes a bit of sense that a file created with newer software might not fare too well on older versions of the same program but with XlsX and the other OOXML formats it even seems to happen the other way around. Save a file in MS Office 2007 and you get the same problems trying to open that file in more recent versions of MS Office. MS keep the specs for their formats secret. There is an ISO definition of OOXML but that doesn't seem to work in any version of MS Office. MSO 2013 was the first that allowed people to save in strict but the resultant files don't seem to be able to be opened in any version of MS Office. So pretty much all programs struggle with trying to read or write

[libreoffice-users] open files
Good evening Probably another stupid question. With a new computer running Windows8.1 I noticed, that files DO NOT open any longer, when I (double) click on their names or select them and hit ENTER ... as it used to work with all other computers / OSs in the past. I DO HAVE to open Writer, Calc or whatever and then use the open command from within the software. Is that something peculiar to Windows? Or another so-called improvement like the disabling of the styles menu? Can I change this behavior? Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] column limit in libreoffice 4.3.something
I am using LO version 4.3.5.2. Its spreadsheet size is limited to 1G cells (1K columns by 1M rows) per sheet. I don't know how many sheets are allowed. YMMV but I know that these spreadsheet size limits are currently quite sufficient for my needs. I also know that I currently have no desire to use anything bigger since the speed of adding a data value in a single cell at a time was abysmal when I had 4K rows on each of four sheets and used less than 100 columns on any single sheet. I trimmed the document back to about 1200 rows per sheet for now but I expect it will grow to between 4000 and 5000 by the end of the year when I'll start a fresh document with a couple hundred rows. Of course much of the processing time was most likely spent evaluating some reasonably (or maybe unreasonably) complex formulas. I'm working on formula simplification but this is difficult since I often make use of the OFFSET() function to reference dynamically defined ranges of cells. -- Jim -Original Message- From: Luuk luu...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 11:54 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] column limit in libreoffice 4.3.something On 23-4-2015 20:39, yahoo-pier_andreit wrote: today I encountered a problem opening an excel file with libreoffice 4.3.something regarding maximum number of column, why number of columns is so low in libreoffice ??? many thanks, ciao :-) pier - Please, define 'so low' i see 1024 columns in 4.4.something and also in 4.1.something - Please, share COMPLETE (version) info, or nothing if you are too lazy to find out ;) -- 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 -- 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
