That's the whole point of PDF, and why it's used so commonly for finished work. use ODT format for libreoffice... you'll save yourself a lot of headache. but when you send it, you do need to output it to another form, PDF is best, but you can use .doc or .docx . but MS formats aren't intended to be the working format for libreoffice, but a way to exchange information to non-informed users.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Image Anchor Selection
Thank you for educating me further. Here is why I use "To page" anchoring. I make a newsletter to send out at the end of the calendar year depicting what I have done through the year including photos. Only family and friends would be interested. While other software tools would perhaps be better suited to this task, I am familiar enough with Writer to make it work. I format it in two columns, and it usually runs one page printed on both front and back. My issue is when I go back later to make edits, and unless an image is anchored to the page it will wander around sometimes being forced to jump to the back when I want it to remain on the front. I hope this explains my reasons for using "To page" as an anchor. It is a bit like using my pliers as a hammer instead of choosing the proper tool for the job. I did not mean to kick a hornets nest and stir up a storm of flying insects. Respectfully, Joe Conner On 6/15/23 01:56, lo.harald.ber...@t-online.de wrote: Dear Joe Conner and @all, You mentioned that the menu item anchoring "To page" is no longer available. Unfortunately you did not mention in which cases you need this function. Here I'd like to review @Robert Großkopf, quote, "Note: It may have been omitted because anchoring to a page means it's fixed to a page like in old layout days and will cause problems in master documents." But not just in master documents. But the question should be what is the anchoring to the page supposed to achieve. IMHO it seems only reasonable, e.g. in a book the first page should be designed with a picture. Or one wants to insert full page images on several pages, e.g. at the beginning of chapters. Of course I don't know the application of other users, but here examples would be helpful. When anchoring images to the page, keep in mind that they can no longer "wander" to other pages. So if you have an image anchored to page 5, you can insert or remove as much text as you want in front of that page, but the image will remain fixed to page 5. This can even mean that if you remove a lot of text in front of it, you'll only have 4 pages left, for example, but the image will still be anchored to page 5 and will probably just disappear. Many users are mostly not aware of this function so in detail and you have a completely different idea of how it should work. Since the function anchoring "To Page" was very often misinterpreted in the past, it was probably decided not to offer this menu item directly. The anchoring "To Page" function is now only available in the Styles/Frame Styles. How do I achieve anchoring "To Page" in the easiest and quickest way possible? I just mentioned the Frame Styles, which should now be dealt with more intensively. LibreOffice Writer has, so to speak, predefined processes for images. Every image inserted into Writer is associated or assigned to the "Graphics" Frame Style (yes, Frame Style). The, I'll call it special, feature of images is the caption of the same. So if you want to add a caption to an image, a frame is inserted around the image. As known, the caption can be above or below the image. The frame around the image is again assigned to the Frame Style "Frame". In the following we assume that no caption is added to the image. This means that the Frame Style "Graphics" is relevant for the image. Now, in order to achieve a quick, even immediate, anchoring of an image to the page, we need to adjust the "Graphics" Frame Style. Here's how to do it: Open Writer with a blank document. Modify the "Graphics" Frame Style by setting the anchoring to "To page" in the Frame Style and save it by clicking OK. Now save the document as a Template, possibly with the check mark for "Set as default template". If you now open the Template, you will get the document "Untitled 1". Now insert an image. This image is now automatically anchored to the page, because it is assigned to the changed Frame Style "Graphics". Finally, I would like to point out that this procedure will only lead to a good and desired result in special cases. The most common anchors will probably be the variants offered in the context menu (not on the page). On this page you will find further descriptions about anchoring and positioning of images: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/Insert_and_edit_images_in_Writer_Part_1 I personally wouldn't consider the missing selection in the context menu for anchoring "To page" as a bug. I hope I have been able to help a little to understand the processes involved in anchoring images.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: Formatting cell with decimal point but no decimal digits
In calc, you could format the cell as currency.

Re: [libreoffice-users] percent to whole fraction
Calc can format cells as a fraction. For instance in an empty cell input "=pi()" without the quotes. The cell will display 3.141592654.

Any formula defines what is displayed. What would be the function of the additional text? How can this be done? If you need a function reference, as here, but want the displayed result to contain additional material, you need to include that material inside the formula containing the function. You can concatenate text with a function result using the CONCATENATE() function, or more simply using the "&" operator. Any non-text value, such as a number, is implicitly converted to text to enable this. For example, =SQRT(3+1) displays 2 whereas ="The square root of 3+1 is "(3+1)&"." displays The square root of 3+1 is 2. I trust this helps. Brian Barker -- A smile - is a sign of joy.

Formerly in Calc when I had a formula calculating from a series of cells when I place the cursor in the entry box just under the tool bars Calc would place a box around the cells making for quick identification of those cells. Now, I have lost that feature. I know that I can use Tools - Detective - Trace Precedents to work around but it is not nearly as quick and easy. Did I inadvertently change a toggle or something to turn off the feature? I would like to get it to behave as formerly. -- A smile - is a sign of joy. A hug - is a sign of love.

Re: [libreoffice-users] printing envelopes
+1 Good job Brian! On 09/24/2017 03:42 PM, Brian Barker wrote: At 05:17 23/09/2017 -0700, John R. Sowden wrote: A few months ago, I asked about printing envelopes. All I got was explaining how LO does it. Hold on: you asked on a list concerned with LibreOffice about printing envelopes and you got a reply about how LibreOffice prints envelopes? I have to say that I'm not surprised! Surely you shouldn't expect anything else? It's worth saying that "printing envelopes" is not really a concept any more than "printing letters to my maiden aunt" or "printing notices for the youth club notice board". An envelope is just a particular variety of paper stock, and you can print on it just as you can print on any other stock. Set your document size and orientation to that of your envelopes and proceed as usual. The only stumbling block may be discovering in which orientation your printer expects envelopes to be loaded (which varies between printers) and how you then ensure that you document is constructed appropriately to match. Finally someone said LO only prints one envelope for one document, ... LibreOffice has the facility easily to add to a letter (or other postal document) a single envelope in which to post it. Most letters go in a single envelope. If you don't want that, don't use it. I suspect your respondents were trying to be helpful. And what is this "one document"? You said you wanted to printed envelopes - nothing about documents. ... not 100 envelopes with a custom return address. Is that what you asked for? That's easy: construct a document that is the face of your envelope with the custom return address and nothing else. Experiment to confirm orientations as above. Load your envelopes. Print the document, setting "Number of copies" to 100. Job done. Or do you perhaps mean something else? Do you want to print a hundred envelopes with the same return address but with a hundred different addresses on them - presumably sourced from a database of addresses? If so, you have not mentioned most of that! Most word processors have the facility to do this, and LibreOffice is no exception. The process is called "mail merge" and is covered in Chapter 11 of the Writer Guide "Using Mail Merge - Form Letters, Mailing Labels, and Envelopes" - specifically in the section "Printing envelopes". It's not trivial, but I think it is fairly easy to follow. I trust this helps. Brian Barker -- A smile - is a sign of joy. A hug - is a sign of love. A laugh - is a sign of happiness.

Assuming it's similar on Linux, I'd guess that the actual dialog where you select the scan mode is some other application not directly under LibreOffice's control which defaults to a particular set of options. You may need to figure out what that application is (maybe XSane?), and see if it has any options for saving presets etc. If it's opening a separate application, that may also account for the delay opening the scanner options, which you previously mentioned.

One way you can get numbers as text is when you import a CSV file, and forget to merk the column as numbers. Or when you paste from plain text and forget the same. One way to get them as numbers is to add a function in another column, containing =NUMBERVALUE(B2) if the first number is in cell B2. Then copy this down for all numbers in the original column.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Vertical Ruler
Thanks for your speedy reply. Unfortunately, the check box at Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> View: panel; check-box for "Vertical ruler" and combo box for units seems to have no effect. I have no vertical rulers whether or not the check box is checked. I suspect this is a regression bug. Thanks again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Sorting Calc Sheet in Alphabet orde on names in one Column
Yes. You must first select all the cells you want to sort. You can easily do this by clicking the little square above the row numbers and left of the column letters. This will select the entire sheet. Next from the top heading bar at the very top select DATA then from the drop-down context menu select SORT. Then select the sort critera (in your case the columns that have the names in it. Also mark if you want the sort ascending or descending (you want ascending).

Back in the days of DOS, I was a PC-Write wizard, having learned the old Wordstar Ctrl-key combinations and PC-Write's function key combinations. Certainly, the multi-tasking GUI's of Windows and Linux simply do more things, but I've never found any program with which I could match my productivity with PC-Write (in terms of just getting things done). One frustration I've noticed recently is with LO's "Sidebar." In the past, I had my paragraph styles locked in a Sidebar. Now, the Styles box shares the Sidebar with the Properties, Gallery, and Navigator boxes, and when I open a new file, it defaults to the Properties box (a la AOO), when I *want* the Styles box. So, with every document, I now have to click on the Styles icon in the Sidebar. I've looked everywhere to find a way to make "Styles" the default Sidebar box, but with no luck. To, me this was a totally unnecessary UI "improvement." If I could echo Andreas with a message to the developers. Please stop making changes just to make changes. Every UI change forces the user to change the way s/he uses the program, and those changes affect our personal performance and productivity, at least until we learn the new system. Yes, once the new UI is learned, it, too, becomes second nature, but I've rarely found a new UI to improve performance so much as to justify its replacement of the older way of working.

In my reply, I keyed on having the original on the left page and the translation on the right page. By having these appear side by side, one can see both at the same time and compare them if desired. What seems to be obvious to me is that the number of words required for a given thought in different languages can be different. So what would be a full page for one language may be less than or more than a page. So there is no guarantee that the the same thoughts will be contained in side by side pages. So, what purpose does having original and translation being side by side? It is quite possible that in a rather long article, some of the side by side pages may not have any thoughts in common. My thoughts came from how a Bible program handles this situation. For example, I have German and English translations of the Bible side by side. There the same verses are shown for them. Sometimes there are extra spaces on the German side, and sometimes there are extra on the English side. I also have a German-English New Testament from the 1800's. It also has the same print layout.

Writer is designed to begin with the first page on the right, so you need the First Page to fulfill this need. From then on the left and right pages will follow correctly.

H44 contains the month, ie AUG - and this seems to be the problem. It is a pull-down list of months. If I enter the month by hand the IF statement works but with it being a pull-down list it does not work. The only obvious possibility is that your selection list does not include exactly AUG. Does it perhaps have a trailing blank or blanks? If so, either correct the list or modify the formula to refer to TRIM(H44) instead. Brian Barker Did you try inserting quots which will become =IF(H44=AUG,Paid.D21,) perhaps?

But I have not been able to locate a method to replace the graphic images in a document, either by the top menu or by right clicking the image. The only way I have found is to delete the image and then insert the new image from scratch! This is most difficult for precise image size and placement. I use a standard aspect on my camera (3:2) and have the image size for all four photos exactly the same. They are also positioned to allow just a barely visible white line between the photos for cutting. And the margins are set to be allowed on my printer without the images being cropped off. To duplicate all these settings on every image is way too time consuming. I need to be able to simply change the image in the four graphic entities without effecting size, placement or aspect ratio of the original image.
