[libreoffice-users] Feature request: Cross-references in complex documents

2011-06-28 Thread rdb
Hi all, I'm not really sure how to go about lodging a feature request, so I'll just disguise this as a question. I'm trying to write a fairly long book with OpenOffice and in general things go very smoothly. So far, I'm pretty happy that I ditched Word (very fickle with long documents) for

[libreoffice-users] Impress spontaneously changes formatting

I've been encountering a rather annoying while making a presentation in Impress: Text with complex layout pasted from Writer keeps spontaneously changing. Here's what happens - I copy a stretch of text from Writer and paste it into a slide as an RTF-formated text frame - I apply formatting to it:

The tabs are relative to the text box, as far as I can see. I am not really sure where I can find the adjust text size to space available, but I'm pretty certain I didn't select it. In the 'Text' tab of the 'Text...' right-click option, Fit height to text is selected and not Fit to frame. --

Hi Tom, No, no real answer. Not really sure what the cause of it is either, because a very similar problem happens in MS Word: When you copy and paste stretches of text with (a) non-Roman fonts, (b) lots of tabs, and/or (c) lots of different text formatting all kinds of strange things

[libreoffice-users] Negative time values

2011-05-01 Thread rdb
Hi, Is there a straightforward way in Calc to calculate negative time values? By default, this does not appear to be possible, e.g. 00:00:00 - 02:00:00 is always 22:00:00, not -02:00:00. rdb-- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Negative-time-values

Hi Simon, Thanks for your answer. Strange, I did exactly what you said and still have the same problem. All fields are formatted as time HH:mm. Both with the standard formula (=Cell1-Cell2) and using the TIME function (=TIME(0,0,0)-TIME(2,0,0) I get 22:00:00 as my output. Best, Rik

I tried to look for a function like that in conditional formatting, but it does not seem to be there. Would it be a good idea to request this feature and do you do that? If you're writing a book /thesis / longish document, this can be a dealbreaker when you're considering switching to

Hi guys, I am trying to set up a template for a book, but I am struggling to find a way to set up the page styles to make them conform to the publisher's style sheet. Here is what they are asking for: Preface or Acknowledgements or Dedication begins on page v. Contents begins on page v if

Wow, a lot of feedback for one weekend. Thanks everybody. Jean: I'll expand upon my previous answer. Don't use Left Page/Right Page if the only difference is that margins are mirrored and the info in headers and/or footers is different. Use a mirrored page style instead. Then the lefts and rights

Arrgh, now you make me feel guilty for just freeloading (or should I say libreloading). I'll get in touch with them. Didn't manage to solve my problem, though. For now it's just manually reformatting the Level 2 and 3 lists... Best, Rik -- View this message in context:
