Another, slightly wilder, guess is that you might need to do 1 extra step = such as unzipping a container-file (as we can do with .odt files). This whole topic, about 1-click installers, is a chinese whisper (not sure why the Chinese get the blame for it as we all do it). It would be better for one or 2 of us to contact the devs to initially find out 1.

Re: Installing an OS, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Penguins: (Was Corrupt Installer Errors??)
Economies of scale! When I worked at the mall they paid someone to do the gift wrapping around Christmas time which many people enjoyed as it saved them the time! Although my boss passed this wisdom onto me: The Wrapping is the only attractive part of the whole operation, there's nothing quite like the thrill of getting a papercut while struggle to box up something as awkward as a blow up doll Okay that's being a little bit cynical, I am trying not to imply that the work of TDF have gone and produced a fully open source adult toy which is very fun to play with! However there are these like that on the market which run on the FLOSS model! See here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/25/body-hacks-building-abody-hacks-building-an-open-source-theremin-like-vibratorn-open-source-theramin-like-vibrator/ I personally would like to see someone such as Nixie Pixel as a calender girl for Libreoffice, The marketing strategy here would be amazing! http://www.youtube.com/user/NixiePixel On Wed, 9 Oct 2013, at 11:47 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Clicking on that link didn't work in my 'email client' http://lifehacker.com/398611/how-to-compile-software-from-source-code Actually Girvin did say that he didn't want to compile from source. Imagine the pre-compiled binary to be a new toy. Some people prefer to wrap it in posh, elegant wrapping paper (lets say that is the .rpm paper). Others prefer something cheerful and friendly (that's the .deb). Girvin takes the present, unwraps it (and thanks the givers (as we all do, right?)) and then wraps it in some other wrapping paper to give to his system. So i think what is being suggested is that if we do ever get 1-click installers then as well as having the source-code it might be nice to have the shiny new toy also available without wrapping paper, or to have a version wrapped in either version of the wrapping paper already being used.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Which download for Arch/Manjaro linux?
It makes me ask the question how do people on distros such as Gentoo / Mageia / Slackware / CentOS solve this problem, Logic tells me that they would download the source code from here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=src This then leads me to the conundrum as to how do they resolve the conundrum of dependency! The whole issue then gets shrouded by the different factions of the distros loyal fan-base claiming why their way is the +Best+. I myself have been guilty of it!. I propose redoing the design of the Linux download page and adding Icons for the DEB based installer and the same for the RPM based one. Having a generic Linux package as well would also be an advantage perhaps implemented by using *bz2 format and using a tux logo as it's header? It might solve some confusion that I initially had.

This will give you the folder LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US Run the following terminal commands to install it: 1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* 2. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb 3. sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb A shorter option is as follows: 1 Download the appropriate file(s) 2 tar zxvf ./wherever you downloaded to/downloaded '.tar./gz' file 3 sudo dpkg -iR ./as above/extracted installation directory/DEBS The 'R' option, as suggested by it's character, invokes a recursive operation on all .deb files in all sub-directories, thus avoiding the redundant operation on the desktop integration stuff.

[libreoffice-users] New Zealand English Dictionary Submission
Hi guys Forgive me if this is on the wrong list but I have come up with a idea which I think I'm capable of. What I want to do was make a New Zealand English dictionary extension but I was unsure how to go about this.

[libreoffice-users] Disparities in the LO 3.6.1 Wordcount
Hi guys I was just doing an assignment that needed a word count and was using LO 3.6.1 and found that the word count is not working as it once was. I quite like the new bottom status bar update it is a new and decent update although it seems to be buggy at this stage. Take this block of text which is from my assignment: Power does corrupt and throughout history there has been a number of examples of totalitarian governments. I have decided to explore the theme “Power Corrupts” Throughout this whole year I have studied texts across a various amount of genres and now have found that within some of the texts I have studied there was a strong connection throughout them that connection was the idea that power corrupts. The texts which had the best connections where: Schindlers List by Steven Spielburg , Changes by Tupac , Answer by Frederic Brown and examination day by Henry Releasable. Each text carried the theme of power corrupts in a different way but all had the same parallels and critiques of the world. It also appears that some of the texts are subtlety warning us about the potential problems with totalitarian regimes that have occurred in the past or which could occur in the future. The first text I looked at was Schindlers list. Schindler's List is the based-on-truth story of Nazi Czech business man Oskar Schindler, who uses Jewish labour to start a factory in occupied Poland. As World War II progresses, and the fate of the Jews becomes more and more clear, Schindler's motivations switch from profit to human sympathy and he is able to save over 1100 Jews from death in the gas chambers. With The realisation that Schindler has as to what the Nazis where really doing also awoke in Schindler how corrupt the regime actually was. Steven Spielberg the director uses several events in the film to highlight the corruptness of the Nazi’s for example when Schindler finds out that some of his workers are to be sent to an extermination camp he bribes the officer with a valuable gold watch in order to release the prisoners. A character which personifies corruption throughout Amon Goeth who does all sorts of twisted and corrupt things such shooting everybody who was associated with one person who stole a chicken. The following extract of dialogue also shows us how evil he really is now LO reports this as being 258 words. I count it myself and get roughly 350. I then copy and paste this block of text into a online word counting thing such as: [1]http://www.wordcounttool.com/ and get 338 and then I take it over to MO which gives me 338!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Zotero Integration with LO [Proposition / Feature Request?]
I actually agree with that. It makes sense and will mean more people will become aware of both projects which is waht I suppose we really need/want? On Thu, 16 Aug 2012, at 02:34 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I think TDF, just like other companies and organisations, could have more than 1 product. It might be best if they bring their community and structures with them and retain a lot of independence and work-flow but obviously there might be some things that TDF could offer or would want such projects to incorporate. I had thought such projects might include database back-ends, Gnome Office (if that needs a home), Calligra Office (although they are probably well organised already). Probably it's all been discussed on the discussion's list here but this is an exciting time for TDF and there are a lot of opportunities for planning road-maps into the future.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Reply settings on this list have changed
It is fine the way it is as of now, in fact I quite like the change as it means I no longer get broken threads in my inbox which leads to it being cluttered. so my vote lies with the change, I use to use a Linux machine but found it beyond my comprehension so migrated back to windows. Florian you made a good choice and I am glad that you have made it and it must be noted that no matter what one can do you will never be able to please everybody as that is one of the raw elements of human nature because as I am sure your all aware humans do no not generally like a lot of change of difference and that is one of the major root causes of all disputes!

So far, e-mails had set a reply-to the mailing list address. In other words, with any e-mail client, replies to e-mails on the list were automatically sent directly to the list. In the past, this lead to two major problems: 1. Several times, people have sent direct replies to the public list, where deleting them is nearly impossible. I remember at least one case where confidential information has been sent out that caused lots of worries for the sender and his employer. This happened because people hit reply and thought it would reply to the sender only. 2. I have heard complaints in the past from people, stating that working with the non-developer lists of LibreOffice is a pain for them, because of reply-to mangling, resulting in a lack of communication. This also led to the fact that numerous tasks were done by the same people, who needed to spend more and more time, instead of sharing the work burden with others. While I do not fully believe this argument, there's just one way to find out... Therefore, I have applied a change: Replies to e-mails from the list now only go to the original sender. You either need to use the reply to all feature of your e-mail program, or - preferably - the reply to list/reply to group feature, which will direct replies directly to the list. This is common practice on most mailing lists, and even the default setting for our mailing list software, so we did not re-invent the wheel here. Those seeking for details should have a look at http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html I know we had numerous discussions on this topic in the past, but the outcome was that roughly 50% were for this change, and 50% refused it, so I am really sitting between two chairs here, for which I beg for your understanding. On the one hand, those complaining the lists are unusable with reply-to mangling, on the other hand, those complaining the lists are unusable without reply-to mangling. Unfortunately, combining those two, even on a per-recipient basis, is not possible, so they are mutually exclusive to each other. In order to find out the real impact, I simply changed the setting, and again, I beg for your understanding. Do not worry: The mailing lists are for the community, so it's the community deciding how they should work. What I'd like to ask all of you is to try out for a few days if that change is good for each list or not. Should we find out it is more harmful than it helps, I will immediately switch back to the old behaviour. Sorry for this short notice, and I beg for your understanding that I'm somehow sitting between two chairs here. Florian Hey All, Not trying to be rude. All of you should be smart enough to run an email tool. After all you're all Linux users who administer at least one Linux installation. For those of you having trouble with email filters try filtering on libreoffice-users in the subject line. That should get all your email to the right folder. I filter on email address. LibreO - Website folder gets webs...@global.libreoffice.org LibreO - Projects Global folder gets proje...@global.libreoffice.org LibreO - Marketing US folder gets market...@us.libreoffice.org LibreO - Marketing Global folder gets market...@global.libreoffice.org LibreO - Users Global folder gets users@global.libreoffice.org So each list goes into its own folder in Thunderbird. I also have different folders for newsletters, friends, family, organizations I deal with, domain related, purchases via Amazon and PayPal accounts, etc., etc.. All of these folders are based on email address filtering and not subject line filtering. So, once I get an email from a proper source, then I get to decide which folder that email address will go into. Subject lines and other filtering methods do not work as well for me. Every
[libreoffice-users] Zotero Intergration with LO [Proposition / Feature Request?]

I have the feeling that I might be treading on thin ground here but I will outline my reasons as to why this could work below * Libreoffice is perfect for use within university's / schools as it can be easily distributed thanks to the GNU license the same goes for Zotero * The use of Zotero could replace the inbuilt Bibliography referencing tool as the current one is quite bewildering to use for many people * Zotero has a nice GUI and can work in with Firefox via an extension which is also open source so at the same time we are not just supporting one open-source initiative but three! * Zotero is open to suggestions and it appears to other projects as well * Increased awareness of The Document Foundation program via Zotero related media attention (Vice Versa for LO and Zotero) * it would bring a fresh feel to the whole project and could even mean a new approach and reinvigorate the project Let me Know what you think and feel free to shoot me down if you so wish!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Do You Share ODF Documents With MS Office Users?

Going from a menu-based Office to a ribbon-based Office no, I don't agree. AFAIK, MSO 2007/2010 are the only major packages that use the ribbon interface. All other recent Windows software I have seen still uses the traditional menus. IMHO most users can adapt to a reasonable menu layout fairly quickly; it is more about finding how to access a command than fighting the interface and finding the command. I would expect most users could learn the LO fairly quickly because it is same familiar menu style interface they are using on most packages. The total cost to install includes rolling out the software to the users. If a company is not planning a major office suite roll out then converting to any other suite will not occur. The ideal time to convert an organization is when they are planning to replace their current suite. Then the a comparison of all costs makes sense. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- antiso...@myopera.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Do You Share ODF Documents With MS Office Users?
When at home it is a case of using LO but when at work and school it is a matter of using Mo as that is what everybody else uses. I prefer to use LO for the simplicity that it has attached with it. I remember being taught as a 5 year old to use MO 2003 and becoming quite proficient in its use. Now as a High School Student I was forced to crack MO for the first few years as I had no Knowledge of LO. Now since I have made the switch I have not looked back as NZ now has severe copyright laws in which I was breaching. Long live Open Source!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Do You Share ODF Documents With MS Office Users?
I have a comment on the error dialogue. I once got into a heated debate with my ICT teacher earlier on this year and in the debate the comment was made by her that: Microsoft with that error dialogue are really just trying to insinuate that their products are superior to others I in a way kind of agree with her because Microsoft have always insisted that the MO range of extensions should be the industry standard. Due to this sort of approach I find roadblocks when trying to submit work in .ODT format to institutions such as NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Association). they keep getting angry at me for using a so called UN recognized file format. I have now managed to persuade my school and some other institutions that for a truly open submission and form of collaboration that the use of ODF standards should be encouraged. the major problem with persuasion is that people are not willing to make the change is due to the lack of knowledge of understanding of opensource and how it can really become better than commercial counterparts. With education there can be a global revolution in the sense that open source programs such as LO will become commonplace and the illegal act of actions such as piracy (search on youtube crack microsoft offfice 2010 to see what I mean!) will almost cease, Regards Anthony Easthope On Mon, 23 Jul 2012, at 09:03 PM, Don Parris wrote: I would like to take something of a straw poll, if that's ok.

If you go to the Synaptic Package Manager and type in ms core fonts, you get something like ttf-mscorefonts-installer That is what shows on my 10.04 system I use as my default one, which I am typing from here. Install that and you get the core fonts that seem to be used by most of the Windows versions from XP to Win7. Since I tend to have 200+ fonts installed on both my Windows and Ubuntu systems, I have lost track of the names of the current core fonts. There are references to them in lists, along with the core fonts for MacOSX, but you do not need to know those names and matching fonts between systems unless you do some font choosing in a web site's CSS theme. I use to do that. SO, if you want to have your Ubuntu system include the core fonts that MS thinks you need, then install that ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. It is all you may need as far as MS is concerned. BUT, if you really need some decorative fonts of specialty ones, I may have most of the free ones that were available as of 2-3 years back.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice GNOME 3 Compatibility
The problem was fixed. All that was needed was a re installation of the shell. as to why I was using GNOME. it was a matter of curiosity as I am new to unix (only had it for 2 weeks on the laptop) I wanted to experience all that it had to offer me. still have a long way to go yet but GNOME 3 on my system is working fine and I would dare say that it when combined with Docky makes a very nice environment to work in. there is a trade off though. if you use it you lose assess to the Home Dash as it is a core part of unity I believe. A good thing to rerember is that if your windows key is mapped correctly it brings it up as well as the HUD :) On Wed, 18 Jul 2012, at 09:02 AM, webmaster-Kracked_P_P wrote: There was a thread about problems with the desktop environment and LO with the darker desktop themes, I think. --- My question is why are you using GNOME 3 shell for 12.04? From my readings of articles about the current GNOME 3 shell, it is still not fully functional, or at least the last article[s] seem to state. I have no problem with LO using 12.04 and MATE for the desktop substitution instead of GNOME 3 shell. I wanted my desktop to look as much like the GNOME desktop that 10.04 has, so I went with MATE and it works great. That is why I went with MATE for Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop that was updated from 10.04 to 12.04 and the added MATE to get it working like I needed. I run LO 3.5.4 on all my Ubuntu and Windows systems at this point.

However stable something is on other people's machines (or unstable for that matter) is irrelevant. What matters is how stable it is on YOUR machine and that is something no-one knows until YOU try it. One advantage with test-driving the early pre-releases of a branch is that IF you have problems then it's easy to catch the devs interest in fixing it while they are keen and excited about the new branch. Waiting until everyone else is using it means the devs attention is more divided between everyone else's issues. Typically a new branch means a big step up to a new plateaux of increased compatibility with MS formats, faster start-up and operation, very much increased functionality and a slightly sexier lookfeel.

Alternatively before trying to install the 3.5.x 'just' open the 3.4.x and go to Tools - Options - Memory and untick the option that is something like Start-up/Load LibreOffice on system start-up/reboot/boot but then to make sure you properly install the 3.5.x alongside the 3.4 to keep both http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/**Installing_in_parallelhttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Dave's 1st option is probably the fastest way to deal with it.

I go through the process and click the Install Button, The UAC then appears and I click that. Shortly after I get a separate widow which says: Please exit LibreOffice 3.5 and the LibreOffice Quickstarter before you continue with an OK button On clicking the OK button, the window disappears and the main installer tells me that: The wizard was interrupted before LibreOffice 3.5 could be completely installed with a Finish Button. I have tried several times. How can I make this a successful installation? (I am a current user of LibreOffice 3.4) Thanks, Brian Charlton Did you try what the installer suggested and exit the LibreOffice Quickstarter (right click on the icon in the taskbar tray) then try again. Alternatively, open Windows Task Manager and end any processes named soffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: spell checking
I found this problem a while ago as well but I found it was fixed with a re installation of the dictionary packages so I suppose it might be a good idea to re download them all again On Mon, Jun 18, 2012, at 08:28 PM, NoOp wrote: On 06/16/2012 07:38 AM, Allen Myers wrote: Please, can you correct your spell checking program: UK English does NOT spell defensive and offensive with a c in place of the s.
