Re: [libreoffice-users] copy function not working
I have tried about a dozen times (about 5 or 6 with Notepad, and a few more with VIM) without seeing the failure. As I noted earlier, the combination of Opera browser and Libreoffice seems to work for me. Very odd. Bob McClure On 6/6/2018 1:18 PM, Steve Edmonds wrote: Hi.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer paragraph numbered list issue
Hi. I am doing the same as you (but not in a legal situation) all the time and bullets or numbering from word can be variable when pasted into writer. Some times the numbering continues from previous numbering and sometimes it starts again. Sometimes bullets paste as graphics characters and sometimes as a bulleted list. If I right click the first character after the number I get the menu (image) below. LO 6.0.4.2 If you click into the number of the paragraph do the numbers highlight as (image) below. If not the pasted list may have pasted the numbers as plain text. Another issue you may be facing is that the pasted text is pasted in with a style from the donor document that is different from the style that is in the recipient document. I use an intermediate document to cleanse unwanted styles from the donor document before pasting into the final recipient and this generally makes things work much better.

Re: [libreoffice-users] copy function not working
Hi. Is this then a problem of Ctl-C not working in Firefox. If you open notepad along with writer and Ctl-V in Firefox, Ctl-C writer, Ctl-C notepad, does paste in notepad work while not in writer.

Re: Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer paragraph numbered list issue
Hi, There seems to be an initialization problem with your chapter numbering. In Writer, chapter levels and their numbering are defined in Tools -> Chapter Numbering. On that panel, you can define the style of the paragraph level (usually Heading 1 to Heading 10 or whatever works in your language) and the format of the level. For the second level, you should select 1,2,3... for the number and 2 for the Show Sublevels: this will show that paragraph numbering as X.Y (1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, etc.). Setup all the levels to what you want them to look like. Once this is done, set the style of the paragraph to the appropriate chapter style in your document using the Set Paragraph Style pulldown in the Formatting toolbar (actually, if the styles are correctly applied in the document before you start, the headings should set themselves up automatically). And you should now be able to promote and demote chapter headings (not standard text) by placing your cursor at the end of the line of the chapter heading (actually, I prefer selecting the style name: it's easier). I hope this helps. Rémy Gauthier.

Re: [libreoffice-users] copy function not working
I can assure you that the reported problem, ie, Control-C not copying. Is NOT a hardware problem. On my machine it appears to happen quite regularly under the following circumstance. Firefox is displaying a web page. Control-C click on the URL bar. Open a Writer window. Paste (Control-V). This ALWAYS works. Select some text in the Firefox page. Control-C click. Go to the Writer page. Paste. About 90% of the time the result is the previously copied URL.

Hi :) The "user+" bit at the front sometimes looks like it's not part of the address but it's fairly important. I'm really sorry Bill has gone. I met him 3 1/2 years ago on the Evolution mailing list when he was new to Open Source and Free(dom) Software but he rarely posted here. I've forwarded this email to the postmaster here, hopefully still Florian, to see if they can unsubscribe you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic : How to write a CopyValue() recursive function ?
Hi Patrick,
I have currently no time to look at your problem in detail. But in
general byval for an array does not copy the array to the subroutine,
but only hand over a pointer. A discussion of this problem and a
solution using redim preserve is in
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/155179/basic-byval-and-arrays/
Kind regards

Hi,
I'm traying to build a recursive CopyValue(aVariant) function. The idea
is a simple copy for scalar values, a recursive Items copy for array
(max 5 dimensions arrays), and a call to Clone() method for (pseudo)
objects. The function can't copy structures, I will use (pseudo) objects
Clone() method...
But my code (Cf. "TEST COPY VALUE CODE" below) failed at CopyArray in
Select Case 2 at line :
result(i1 - Bounds(1,1), i2 - Bounds(2,1)) = CopyValue(value)
The error message (in french) is :
"L'erreur #91 (Variable d'objet non définie) s'est produite à la ligne
90 dans _DataUtil"
The error is triggered with the recursive function call at
CopyValue(value). It look's like reentrance is not supported by the
function... I'm using LibreOffice 5.2.7.2. (x32) with Linux Debian. I
tested also with LIbreOffice 5.4.2.2 (x64) with Windows.
So to test recursive call I tried with a recursive sample function,
CalculateFactorial(Number). And it's work fine. The sample is :
Sub TestFactorial
Msgbox CalculateFactorial( 42 )' Displays 1,40500611775288E+51
Msgbox CalculateFactorial( -42 )' Displays "Invalid number for
factorial!"
Msgbox CalculateFactorial( 3.14 ) ' Displays "Invalid number for
factorial!"
End Sub
Function CalculateFactorial( Number )
If Number < 0 Or Number <> Int( Number ) Then
CalculateFactorial = "Invalid number for factorial!"
ElseIf Number = 0 Then
CalculateFactorial = 1
Else
' This is the recursive call:
CalculateFactorial = Number * CalculateFactorial( Number - 1 )
Endif
End Function
I'm wondering If my problem is coming from the fact recursive call could
be only at result affectation line. In this sample it's the line :
CalculateFactorial = Number * CalculateFactorial( Number - 1 )
But I can't imagine a simple way to do the same with my algorithm,
because copying an array need a For Next recursive call for each item
... An array is not a Lisp list ...
I may imagine two solutions :
1. Using Lisp paradigm with first() and rest() functions, splitting
array... But how to build an array reference starting with LBound()+1
item of the array ?
2. Trying serialize the recursive array to a large String value and use
an other unserialize function to rebuild the structure
Do you know if an other CopyValue already exist ? An other Idea ?
Thank you for your advises !
