[libreoffice-users] offline help
Good afternoon A few days I upgrade my (Windows 10) installation to LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 I also installed the offline help package. However, when I click on Help, it ALWAYS goes online. Is there a trick to make the offline help package work?

[libreoffice-users] LO upgrade under Linux - delete old files
Good morning Probably I am just not smart enough (again). I upgraded LibreOffice from 6.0.7 to 6.1.6 on a machine running Linux Mint 19. The Readme file instructed me to run a dpkg command to unpack the .deb files after extracting them from the downloaded compressed file. I did that. It seemed to run fine and completed successfully. When I clicked on the Writer icon I used before, it is still LibreOffice 6.0.7 that opens. Looking around, I found that there are OTHER LibreOffice icons, which start the 6.1.6 version. Are those old files supposed to remain there under Linux? An update on Windows deletes those (as far as I know). Looking in software manager I am told, that Libreoffice is installed, but there is no distinction between 6.0.7 and 6.1.6. If I update Libreoffice in the future again, will all the old files be retained? Should I **uninstall** Libreoffice first and then make a fresh installation of the new version, or is there a way of cleaning out old files? (I presume, after a fresh installation I have to set up my preferences etc. all over; that is something I would like to avoid. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] compose characters
Good afternoon I have to enter into a technical text a capital "M" with a short bar on top of it. Some sort of mathematical expression indicating a vector. I know there is something like "composing characters", but I cannot get it right. All I ever get is a diacritical mark either left or right from the M. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. While googling about this, I also found some talk a "autocorrect options" using : : Yet, I cannot make this work either. I suppose, there is a trick for this one too.

[libreoffice-users] specify an absolute sheet address
Good evening I am probably, again!, too stupid to figure this out by myself, so I would be grateful for a hint. I have a file with something like 25 sheets listing the patients who visited my clinic before grouped by year. In one sheet I have all names (about 2,000). To make my work easier I set up a VLOOKUP function to help me enter zip codes. In sheet 2021 that formula looks like =VLOOKUP(N77,'Zip codes'.$A$2:$B$150,2,0) and refers to a sheet with the zip codes 3 sheets to the right. This works fine. However, when I copy the data (whenever there is something new) to the "ALL" sheet to the right of 2021, I get a "N/A", because the formula AGAIN refers to the THIRD sheet to the right, that does not have any zip codes. I tried to figure out, how to specify the sheet "Zip codes" as the absolute address, like: =VLOOKUP(N76,$zip codes.$a$2$:$zip #REF!.$B$220,2,0) but so far all attempts (for quite a while now!) at placing those $ marks have resulted in errors. I am sure, this is something very simple, but being a simpleton I just cannot figure it out. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Calc file "invalid parameter"
Good evening Again some strange question. Recently LibreOffice, maybe the computer?, has started to act strange on some occasions. Checking the net, I found only ONE related item. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11=96478 This is not really a "problem", but I would still like to know, what is going on. I have a sort of "cloud storage" called pCloud, which creates a 5-GB virtual drive with its own drive letter on my HDD. There I store among other stuff files I use regularly and update several times a day. For some time now, a number of Calc files open alright, but when I edit them and hit "save", I get the following error message: "Error saving the document "file name". The operation [path / file name] was started with an invalid parameter." When I rename the file, I can save it, but the same problem tends to recur when I open it the next time. When I rename it and store it in a different location, the problem seems to disappear. Probably all I have to do, is choose a different folder to save those files. Yet, I would really like to know, what that "invalid parameter" refers to. If anyone has any idea, I would love to hear it. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Collabora experience?
Good evening from Japan The following is probably really stupid. Please bear with me for a moment. About 3 weeks ago I got a smartphone - first time ever. I did use an older mobile phone before, but deliberately refused to learn how to operate that thing. (I hate these mobile phones) Well, I also use something like Dropbox, but supposedly more secure = pCloud (based in Switzerland) (if someone should sign up there and tell those guys, I referred you (no idea how that works), maybe I get a GB extra space ... but I am not trying to do any sort of business here) Most of the files in there are created with LibreOffice, plus some text files and PDFs. This pCloud is available for Android, so I installed it. So far, so good. LibreOffice, however, is NOT directly available for Android. Therefore I was referred to "Collabora". Installed that too. Problem: When I try to open ANY file (except PDF), I get messages telling me, the file (ALL files) are "read-only" and saving is diabled. If I want to access any file, I have to * make the file available offline * choose to edit it * choose a software to do so (here Collabora), EVERY time -> if successful, I am again asked, whether I want to open a read-only file, or edit a copy. * if I edit a copy, that will then be stored somewhere in the phone and NOT in one of the folders on pCloud. That renders the whole idea of having files "in the cloud" useless, doen't it? The pCloud support send me (partially) the following: "You can open the pCloud files with all kinds of 3rd party apps but unfortunately, you can not save the changes in pCloud. You'll probably need a paid version of LibreOffice in order to save the changes to pCloud so you have to download the edited files locally and upload to pCloud. If you wish to edit files directly from pCloud, you can use Google Sheets." And Google Sheets etc. is something I do NOT want to use. BTW, the same thing happens when I use AIRSEND. (have not tried anything else) Has anybody any experience with using LibreOffice = Collabora with an Android smartphone? Is there maybe a trick? If not, that is just fine. I consider working with this miniture machine a form of "digital torture" anyway.

[libreoffice-users] Language setting in Calc
Good evening In my line of work (translator) I often forced to use MS Office files. Right now I am working with an Excel worksheet. I am not allowed to change file name, format or anything else am only supposed to enter the German translation of a Japanese text into the designated columns. Fine so far. The original file is so formatted that there are font settings for English and Japanese. When I work at home (right now) I select the relevant columns and change the language setting to German. But when I go to my little work place and open the same file there, the language in those columns is back to English. I changed it in my office to German again, but once I am home and start working here, it is back to English again. Is there a way to tell Excel files to use a specific language AND STAY THAT WAY?

[libreoffice-users] Saving file produces unknow file format
Good afternoon (again) One other question. Maybe related to the one I just posted. I noticed the other day, that when I use files in a server based file synchronization environment (ownCloud), .odt files may be transformed immediately or after having been edited a few times into an unknown file format. Usually, I expect to see something like "file.odt" in file explorer, but for some files - I have no idea why this happens only to SOME files - I suddenly get just "file". When I click that file to open it, the computer shows me a list of possibly usuful application to choose from to open that file. Even creating a new/blank file, copying the text of the original file into a text editor and then from there into the new document produces the same result. Does anybody know WHY this happens - and if possible could tell me how to fix it? Is THIS problem and the other one I described in my previous post possibly another Ver. 7.xxx bug? -> I have never seen anything like this before. Thank you.

With 7.1.8 the "display velocity" (if there is such a term) was acceptable, but with 7.2.5.2 it is VERY uncomfortable to work with Writer. Is there another trick that might speed up the display. By the way, in Calc I do not notice any annoying slowness. Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice crashes every day
Good evening Another probably stupid question. As I said in my previous post, I am using 7.18 on a Windows 10 machine. I upgraded to 7.18 a few days back from 7.12. Since I am working on certain files both at home and in my little clinic, I tend to put those files on cloud storage places like Dropbox and a few other services. Since maybe 2 month now, LibreOffice crashes at least once DAILY; then asking me to send a crash report (which I always do). I can be restarted normally, but often a portion of my work is lost. Since I had trouble in the past using an online storage called "pCloud", I now use my local hard disk to save the files and make copies to take them to the other place. Still, this does not seem to change anything. LO still crashes at least once a day. Other applications do not seem to be affected. Is there something I may try to improve the situation? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] "save as" behave very strange
Good evening from Japan I have been using LibreOffice for years by now. Currently I use 7.18 on a Windows 10 machine. Let's say, I have a file "xyz" that is saved in one directory/folder. Now I want to save it in a different location (different disk) where there are directories and folders of the same name. The target folder also contains the file, but I want to overwrite it with a newer version. E:\AA\filexyz.odt Here I want to replace/overwrite the "filexyz.odt". HOWEVER, the directory E:\AA\ ... has 2-3 more folders with related files. Like: E:\AA\bb\xx\ When I try the "save as" command and indicate the directory-folder-file name -> LibreOffice jumps to the next folder one level BELOW the one I want to save the file in. And it keeps doing that so long, until there is no other folder any more. LibreOffice did not do this in the past. Is there a particular reason for this behavior? Is there a way to tell LibreOffice to save the file where I want it to be saved? Any help would reduce unnecessary stress immensely. Thank you.

Running on Windows 10. Kolbjørn Den 08.02.2022 12:04, skreiv Thomas Blasejewicz: Good evening Another probably stupid question. As I said in my previous post, I am using 7.18 on a Windows 10 machine. I upgraded to 7.18 a few days back from 7.12. Since I am working on certain files both at home and in my little clinic, I tend to put those files on cloud storage places like Dropbox and a few other services. Since maybe 2 month now, LibreOffice crashes at least once DAILY; then asking me to send a crash report (which I always do). I can be restarted normally, but often a portion of my work is lost. Since I had trouble in the past using an online storage called "pCloud", I now use my local hard disk to save the files and make copies to take them to the other place. Still, this does not seem to change anything. LO still crashes at least once a day. Other applications do not seem to be affected. Is there something I may try to improve the situation? Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] searching in Calc does not find anything
Good morning For years Crtl+F and then entering entering numbers or words used to find those, if they are in the sheets somewhere. For a few days now trying to find anything, numbers, digits, words ..., ALWAYS gives me "Search key not found", even if the item in question sits right in the middle of the screen. I tried all sorts of settings and options in the search box. Apparently I am not smart enough to figure out what I am missing. I would be grateful for a hint.

I checked and saw that for some reason (I do not remember changing the setting) the "Search in" box was set to Formulas. So, I corrected that. Nothing else had been selected among the options. Still I had trouble finding things. Even in a newly created sheet with just two numbers, Calc refused to find the "111" I put somewhere. Fiddling with other things, I tried changing the font in the column where I was looking for a name. This had no effect. I have no idea what brought this on, put trying other things I also did: > I was looking for the name "Yamauchi" > Search for Yama -> found a number of entries > Adding one character at the time -> Yama+u+c+h+i resulting in the end in "Yamauchi" > Finally Calc found the name I was looking for I do NOT know what happened, but at least for now, things are back to normal. BUT .. similar things did happen these few days. If it happens again, I will report back here. Otherwise .. THANK YOU everybody and sorry for the commotion.

[libreoffice-users] "Match case" greyed out
Good evening I just came across something I do not understand (and so far could not find being mentioned in the manuals etc.). Using Windows 10, LibreOffice 7.1.8.1 I noticed in Calc that when I try to find something, in the find dialog * Match case = greyed out = not working * Formatted display = OK * Entire cells = greyed out = not working * All sheets = OK Now, why would these functions be disabled? I tried to find something under tools, but so far without luck. And I am quite sure I was able to search the data with Match case checked. I tried to reboot the computer. That did not change anything either. 1) Is there a reason for this behavior? 2) Is there a way to fix it?

[libreoffice-users] "reverse solidus" not working in the find dialog box
Good afternoon from Japan Actually, I have asked about this in 2018 and a number of things were suggested. Unfortunately none did solve the problem. Problem: I have a long file with about 3,500 lines (each line = item) looking like: HKES 良知良能 [りょうちりょうのう] /(n) xx/ where I would like to replace the "space[" and "]space" with tabs so that I can import the file into Calc. However, working with Japanese Windows 10, Japanese keyboard etc. NOTHING I tried so far allowed me to enter a \t (=> THIS is supposed to be a backslash) as a regular expression, telling the computer to replace the space[ with a tab. Question: Is there a trick telling the computer to replace any key sequence with a tab? Thank you. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[libreoffice-users] last cursor position
Good afternoon I am sure, this question has been asked a million times. When I open a document, the cursor is NOT in the position of the last edit. In fact, it appears at random locations, different each time I open the document. I have modified the user data section under tools, but that does not change anything. Deliberately editing the document at different locations, closing and reopening it (same computer), the cursor still pops up at totally unpredictable locations. This happens apparently also with other (not created by me) documents. Is there a smart trick, anything short of resetting the user profile?

[libreoffice-users] paragraph style
Good evening I am working on a book and applied * chapter styles * heading styles and a few not so important other styles. Question: The chapter style specifies a certain font and font size, plus italic. For each chapter the little dialog box in the left upper corner shows the style name, font name and font size I specified. However I noticed, that for some chapters even though style name etc. is as I specified, the actually used font and font size are different. Trying Ctrl+M and then applying my style does NOT help. Why is it, that a certain style produces two different appearances? What can I do to get the same style for all chapters. That will be required later when I set up an table of contents. Thank you.

And then I would have a special page style for that page with no header and right hand only. I don't ever recall having had the variable font output that you mention.
