[libreoffice-users] Embedded OLE Objects in Write
Dear Collective Brains Trust, I spent about three hours yesterday creating some very nice draw documents from within write (Insert/Object/OLE Object/Create New). Now I open up the thesis this morning, and they've been replaced by large pixelated pictures of what I presume is supposed to be a plug (for the plugin?) A screenshot is available here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17999770/LOProb.png Now it's not a total nightmare. I can grit my teeth, spend the hours recreating the documents and save them as svgs (which I probably should have done in the first place). But I'd really rather not. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it? For reference, I'm running LO3.5 on a Mac.

Try: Tools|Options|LibreOffice Writer|View|Display| - check the 'Graphics and objects' box|OK. -- Thanks, but the box is checked and graphics and objects are set to be displayed. Other graphics appear just fine. I've cut out everything except a couple of pages and made it available for download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17999770/LOProbs1.odt. If anyone can think of a solution I'd appreciate it as a) I'd really like to use vector graphics for my thesis and b) Importing the svg files I've created using draw screws with the text. I suspect Writer is having a problem with the fonts.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Embedded OLE Objects in Write
Hi Dennis, Thanks for your help. In answer to your questions: 1. Are you making sure that the OLE object is embedded and not just linked? Are you also making sure that the option to show a thumbnail instead of the rendering of the OLE object is not selected? I'm creating the OLE objects from Insert/Object/OLE object, so I'm presuming they're embedded. I'm not quite sure where this is. If it's the one that is Libreoffice/Preferences/Writer/View/Tables and Objects, then yes. 2. Are you using more than one computer for this work? And is the original application that produces the OLE object available on each machine where you want to view the document correctly? No, I'm not. I am storing it and accessing it from Dropbox. However, as this service stores the file locally, it shouldn't affect this. 3. You might do better pasting the drawing from the application where you are creating it into the destination document, using Copy and Paste [Special...] as appropriate to select a vector-graphic insertion. I'll give that a go for ones I create from now on.

... Thanks, but the box is checked and graphics and objects are set to be displayed. Other graphics appear just fine. I've cut out everything except a couple of pages and made it available for download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17999770/LOProbs1.odt. If anyone can think of a solution I'd appreciate it as That document contains no object folders. Meaning that if an object were embeded in the document, the document when extracted should have folders/directories for each embedded object. Example: LOProbs1.odt_FILES LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 1 LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 2 LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 3 etc. Further, the LOProbs1.odt_FILES/ObjectReplacements shows two files at zero bytes (Object 1 and 31) and only one with any data in the xml file: Object 9. --- Ok, I'm obviously doing something incredibly stupid. I'll go away and work it out based on what you've said here. Thanks NoOp. I appreciate your help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] unsubscribe
Dear Collective Brains Trust, Having upgraded from LO3.4 to 3.5, I find my recent documents folder to be unavailable. I found this thread [http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg16880.html] but it is dealing with a PC installation. I'm running a Macbook Pro with OS 10.7.3. Any ideas?

[libreoffice-users] Recent Documents showing as empty on LO3.5 on a Mac.
Dear Collective Brains Trust, Let me try that again, with the correct subject. My apologies. Having upgraded from LO3.4 to 3.5, I find my recent documents folder to be unavailable. I found this thread [http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg16880.html] but it is dealing with a PC installation. I'm running a Macbook Pro with OS 10.7.3. Any ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Recent Documents showing as empty on LO3.5 on a Mac.
After a little work, managed to fix this one myself by renaming the user folder forcing Libreoffice to create a new user folder.
