[libreoffice-users] EMail mailmerge - does it work?

2013-09-14 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

In the past I had used the email mailmerge features in LibreOffice with
some problems, and was wondering if it works now?

I still see it in the menus but before setting up a proper data source
and going throught the wizard I just wanted to ask here. I seem to
remember it depended on Java and it would be removed or rewritten at
some point.

Thanks for any information about this.

Regards,

Fabian

Sharepoint needs to be configured with CMIS support, last I heard this
was not trivial.

Cedric Bosdonnat would know about this, I asked on IRC and he was
looking for someone with such a setup to test further.

 Not finding certificate borders is weird. Last year I need some and
I found a lot.

 This one has a few template background images.
 http://all-free-download.com/free-vector/free-certificate-template.html

That one indicated:

There are TONS w/o any licensing information, that's the point.


 Some will require you to print to PDF file and then use Draw to import
it to create a JPG background image. But there are solutions.

 I also have found some in places like OpenClipart.org and other sites.
Sometimes there are listed under borders.


Hadn't thought of OpenClipArt, thanks!

 Bonjour Fabian,

 Sure, there are some templates that you can use on the AOO website

use them as a base to mod your own.

 If you wonder how to download them, do the following:

[libreoffice-users] The best cordless presenter for Impress? Logitech R-RB5 or..?

2013-01-31 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

A few years ago I went out to LinuxExpo (2008) and we needed a cordless
presenter. After testing about a dozen (I kid you not!) I found this gem:

Logitech R-RB5 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/175?crid=402

The range is crazy (I tested 100 m in open areas) and despite heavy
wifi interference it's always done very well in crowded conferences. It
also works out of the box in GNU/LInux (I primarily use Trisquel now, a
Debian derivative, but tested in many others).

It was expensive at the time (U$100) and it's been discontinued now in
favor of other models:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/presenter

It can still be found on eBay and classified ads sites, though.

I was wondering if anyone here is using the other presenters Logitech
offers, specially in GNU/Linux. What has been your experience?

Anyways, if you look for a fantastic range and easy to use cordless
presenter, the above is my personal favorite.

Cheers,

F.

 What I do not like it the statements that makes me feel that I have no
 control of how the packages are installed.  I always do a custom
 install of packages to make sure I only install things I want.  For
 LO, I make sure I install only the languages and dictionaries I want. 
 There are some packages that has a default of adding toolbars and
 other things to other packages, like browsers, that are not acceptable
 to my point of view.

It's extremely useful to build new Windows systems (ie mass installs).
It's not free open source though.


 I never heard of this Ninite so I did not know about how much
 trust I would give it.

 Also, does Windows LO still need a JRE installed BEFORE it gets
 installed?  Use to be yes.  If such a auto install system tries to
 install LO with no JRE installed first, then problems. . . .
So don't use it. Use one of the free open source alternatives,
testit/file a bug report to help fix/test it:

I think you should.

If you find a conflict between configuration profiles or during normal

can file a bug on the three versions you run so they can be adjusted to
better coexist.

Keep in mind your use case is specific enough that there may not be

This improves over time, but I generally prefer not increasing the odds

 Why is it not advisable to run LO and AOO on the same system? What

Because you may have a conflict between configuration profiles or

If your data isn't critical, this won't matter much. I run similar

 Windows users can run MS Office easily and for little money (if any).
Why should they use LibreOffice if all they want is cheap MS Office?

That's the goal of LibrePlanet Haïti: get local help/exposure for such
projects. Internet access is not widespread, though, so collaboration
via mailing list/online is not as effective and quick as elsewhere. The
same work that can be done for LibO will be happening for other
projects, so I hope to get more people connected via LP Haiti and take
it from there. Above all, I hope someone local leads that :)


 As for the NA-DVD distro, I have no problems with people taking it and
using it as the starting point for creating their own version. Take out
the parts not needed and adding those that are. I have been told that
other groups have done that over the past year or so since the NA-DVD
has been online.

Of course, but given the limited resources and time, translating all of
it to Creole is impractical, if even possible.
Even updating the current systems and LibreOffice or having up-to-date
installers will prove challenging.

[libreoffice-users] What is the status of Java security vs. LibreOffice?

2012-08-30 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

Hi all

I saw this a few days ago, I'd like to know what should I make of it?:
http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/critical-flaw-under-active-attack-prompts-calls-to-disable-java/

I never install Java when I install LibreOffice, but a few people end up
installing it.

I have seen a few threads about it in the fr-discuss list, but nothing
clear/concise (although I may have missed a post or two).

Thanks for any information.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice installed by default on recycled computers

2012-08-29 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

Hi

I am happy to announce that all PCs recycled at MicroRecycCoop (MRC) in
Montreal have been shipping with LibreOffice for some months now:
http://microrecyc.wordpress.com/

A couple of weeks ago I came back from a trip to Haiti where my mandata
was to deliver + install a 50 PC lab and network, whil etraining local
staff + students. They had LibreOffice for Windows pre-installed on all
PCs, in addition to being dual-boot Ubuntu / Trisquel systems which
already included LibreOffice. This all started when I went into MRC's
office and starting talking to its owner about putting GNU/Linux and
LibO on their systems... :) After a year or so I am happy to see the
results!

The school I went to is part of a network of several buildings  schools
where I had the opportunity to have similar discussions and sometimes
leave copies of LibO and GNU/Linux live CDs.

I also copied / gave away ~60 copies of the installers during several
workshops there, it turned out great. I didn't know there is a spelling
dictionary for creole! That extension for LibreOffice and other
free-software related projects are listed here now:

[libreoffice-users] How to export the bibliography DB to Zotero?

2012-06-25 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I have a database of ~3000 entries that I would like to export to Zotero.

What would be the recommended way of doing this? I can't seem to find
such information in Zotero forums. I thought I'd ask here as I know my
way around LibreOffice better than Zotero.

This seems like a similar problem although it describes importing from
the bibliography *text*, not the OOo/LibO database:
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies

At ~3000 entries, it's impractical to create a new document with *all*
entries, not to mention (most possible) data missing when reimporting that.

A friend mentioned using RDF as an intermediary format, or .bib, but
again I would have to have a document with all my references (this
doesn't import all refs from the database AFAIK):
http://www.estm.co.uk/blog/software/export-openoffice-writer-bibliography-to-zotero.html

Any information on how to do this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

 High Tom,

 yes PDF is free meaning you have not to pay in advance, a least as you use
 only basic functions and its not a commercial use. But what when you
receive
 a document with special features?
Ask for another format, or ask to file the same document in some other
way. Complain, complain, complain. Be very precise about why it's not a
good practice to do that.

 Its the same situation I had at the university long time ago: At this time
 MSWord was free in the sense that nobody cared where you get your
license
 from, and all students used it and requesetd its use in their offces later
 on.

 Walther

To the extent that LibreOffice integrates PDF import and export
functions, there isn't much point in extending this discussion much
longer unless one can propose a valid, better/equivalent alternative. I
personally think an online implementation (via web forms+database/email)
is better suited for this specific case. I can't see a good reason to
use PDF forms except in exceptionally highly custom-formatted scenarios.
Then again, if your questionnaire requires such formatting it may
benefit from some simplification. Here's a list of possible technical
issues of using PDF:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pdf#Technical_issues

If and when there is absolutely no alternative to using a PDF, I'd
suggest you point your audience to this resource for a good, free+open
source PDF reader:
http://pdfreaders.org/

Adobe's reader software is notoriously bloated, and the frequent updates
are there because the reader includes several other dozen formats that
Adobe wants to be readable on every system it's installed on (in
addition to advanced features only available in commercial versions)

What about patents and openness of the PDF standard? This page provides
such details:
http://pdfreaders.org/os.en.html

Microsoft licenses are vey much 100% free and legal to obtain by
students/faculty staff pretty much worldwide now:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DreamSpark_Premium

It's not the same situation with MS software although I see your point.
No Microsoft software is considered an ISO standard and there aren't
100% free open source software implementations of any MS software that I
know of as is the case with the PDF format, so I'd be use such examples
with care - otherwise you'll get the opposite effect when trying to
advocate free, open standards.

 the underline characters [ ___ ] don't move to the right
 2. We want some parts of the form to be uneditable. For example, the

 3.The document can be saved when completed, or even when partially

 4. Check-boxes can be clicked on

 6.The document is universal:
 a. People using Windows, Mac, Linux, Playbook, tablets can work on the

 b. People don't have to download a special program to fill the form

Why do you want to do this with LibreOffice?

This strikes me as something relatively simple to do on a web site.

 Dear all:

What distribution are you using?

QuickStarter was at the origin of a rather nasty bug that prevented
shutting down/logging out as reported in this Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/562027

It's resolved now, but unless you're using LibO 3.5.0 or greater, you
won't have the fix. I can't say if that's the same for other non-Debian
derivatives, though.

What are your reasons for using QuickStarter in GNU/Linux?

If it's only for faster startup speed, remember memory is treated
different than Windows. Even in the slowest environments, once
LibreOffice has loaded once (any component: Writer, Calc, etc), the next
times the startup time improves a lot. You can use a workaround in
Ubuntu to accomplish this for first-time run and get that oh, it loads
fast *perception*, specially if you turn off the system often (which
negates the benefits of memory caching during a single session). I may
be oversimplifying a bit here, hoping the point comes across.

See this workaround, should work in other Debian derivatives too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/562027/comments/120

Other simple optimizations include using RAM as storage, mounting /tmp
in RAM, using SSD storage, etc. - with varying levels of care required
:) Don't do this unless you're running LibO 3.5.1 or greater or you may
hit this one too with worse results (data loss):

If someone finds problems in 3.5.x we need to get bug reports before
they install 3.4.6 again. Some times acceptable workarounds are found,
other times when a regression is confirmed the bugx fix may come very
quickly. It's a compromise, and everyone should decide by themselves.

The Marketing list is not a compact body of unified opinions, so
please don't jump to conclusions as to what anyone there can do or not.

[libreoffice-users] ePub?

2012-05-03 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I remember some time ago a thread about publish to the ePub format from
LibreOffice, I can't seem to find it.

Is anyone doing this with good results? What would be the best workflow
to go about this?

Thanks in advance for any hints about this.

 2. As my email address is GMail, the GMail smtp server uses TLS

 There is NO option to select TLS for the sept server in the built-in
LO mailing function.

 So it seems that I cannot mail merge a document from LO direct to email.

 Great.

 OK, if no-one's going to respond to this, where do I file a bug for this?

Hi,

Using GMail for a mail merge campaign is probably not ideal, there are
important restrictions:

 Hi :)
 I generally get details like that from DistroWatch
 http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu
 Details about each and every package included in a distro is beyond the
scope of a decent press release announcing the new release. Also why
would TDF keep a record of what each distro uses?

Distrowatch really isn't for that.

For Ubuntu I've been documenting that here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice
It's also the first result in most search engines if you search Ubuntu
LibreOffice.

You can also check here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all

Debian and other derivatives have similar sites:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all
http://packages.trisquel.info/search?keywords=libreofficesearchon=namessuite=allsection=all
(actually, identical)

TDF could keep a record to distribution-specific records/links such as
the above, I think it's useful, but ultimately it's each distro's job to
make that information available (which they do, see above).

 Hi Deon,

 I'd encourage you to search on the web for OpenOffice.org training and
 contact whoever provides such training clearly indicating your goals,
 budget (or lack thereof) and timelines. If someone already offers free
 or paid training for OOo, there are high chances they will consider
 adapting their material or using the existing material from LibreOffice
 to help you.

 I had a good experience in the pas with Solveig Haugland -

http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2008/01/contact-me-for-consulting-time.html.
 You can also try Lanedo in Germany http://www.lanedo.com/libreoffice.html

 Cheers,

 Fabián Rodríguez
 http://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:MagicFab

 I know there are training, free training, sited for LibreOffice out
there. I remember seeing one or two a few months ago. After LO became
the office package for Linux distros, I started to see links that were
LO training.

 If we tell people to use OOo training for LO, would the just encourage
the users to try OOo and use it?

Please read again carefully. I didn't advise to seek OOo training, but
rather OOo /trainers/. LibO being a close relative, they will most
probably consider adding it (or replacing OOo) to their offering.


 By going to Google, I found a few sites that offer training in/with
LibreOffice. Yes OOo training has more links, but it has been around for
a longer time. Last year there were posts about training offerings for LO.

 SO if a person wants LO training, give that person references to LO
training, not OOo. Offer that person the links to our Guides and other
documentation.

Guide and documentation are, at most, self-learning, not training.

Sorry if I assumed you meant human-led training ;)

[libreoffice-users] Window focus bug when importing a file into Calc

2012-01-27 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

Before reporting this as a bug I wanted to know if Mac and Gnu/Linux
users can reproduce it

The problem: When importing a text file into Calc (eg. CSV), the import
dialog does not steal focus as expected

This only happend when LibO is already open in the background with
another document. As a result, on a busy desktop, the window does not
show up and it can be interpreted as if nothing happened.

Steps to reproduce in Windows Libo 3.5rc2:

1) Open any valid document with LibO, move it to background/non visible
screen (when in multiple screen setup)
2) Create a text file with anything in it
3) While having the explorer on top of all application, Open With..
the newly created file with Calc
4) A window asking questions to finish the import will show up *under*
the current file explorer window

Thanks for any confirmations.

F.

[libreoffice-users] Best JRE for LibreOffice on a 64-bit system: 32 or 64 bit ?

2012-01-11 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

This may sound obvious but I am not certain of the answer and wanted to
double-check here.

When installting LibreOffice for Windows for use on a 64-bit system, is
it best to install the 32-bit or the 64-bit JRE ?

Thanks for any information on this.

Fabian

The varied replies and sources of information indicate this is not
clear, so yes, we can expect this question to come often. That's often a
hint to improve the information available.

I'd rather have frequent repetitive questions than frequent repetitive
failed installs (aka sorry, not trying that again users).

Right now I am advising people who ask me to wait for 3.5 which will
most likely incorporate many bug fixes that will improve first-time

Current version and Development should be the only ones clearly

 sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*.*
 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install libreoffice

 My current install was done with apt-get:

 What should I do to switch over to PPA install/updating. I'm on Ubuntu

Hi Olwe,

That's pretty much it. You may also want to
rm -r ~/.libreoffice
(just to make sure every setting is reset)

You can also check this doc:

Come back if you have any questions.

 Yes, it will be much easier to keep up-to-date when LibreOffice is in

 weekly, etc., update schedule that you set in your update manager.  But
 there will be a time lag between LibreOffice's updates on their web site
 and Ubuntu's repository.  So, the no not install manually statement
 may be taken the wrong way be some users as if there is something wrong
 with LibreOffice's own downloads.

 
 Plus the fact that there are bugs in the Ubuntu version of LibO that are

Hi Alex,

What bugs exactly ? It would be very useful to include references or
details when you make such comments.

Tomorrow is Ubuntu bug day for LibO and OOo. I'd welcome any help
reporting/reproducing any LibO bugs in Ubuntu (and vice versa), as well
as upstream at Freedesktop.org. If you're talking about packaging
bugs, why, yes, it's not perfect yet. Some bugs are also only now coming
up when people use stuff like Unity.

Fellow Ubuntu Triagers!

This week's Bug Day targets are *drum roll please* LibreOffice and
OpenOffice!
 * #100 New bugs need a hug
 * #43 Incomplete bugs need a status check
 * #88 Confirmed bugs need a review

OpenOffice and LibreOffice are free office suites. OpenOffice has been
the default office suite for a long time ago, and has more than 1000
open bugs, some of them old, others new, and all of these need
triaging. In the meantime, Ubuntu is transitioning to LibreOffice, and
bugs that exist in LibreOffice too should be marked as such, to help
the developers find the bugs they can focus on.

Bookmark it, add it to your calendars, turn over those egg-timers!
 * 2011.02.10
 * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20110210

Are you looking for a way to start giving some love back to your
adorable Ubuntu Project?
Did you ever wonder what Triage is? Want to learn about that?
This is a perfect time!, Everybody can help in a Bug Day!
open your IRC Client and go to #ubuntu-bugs (FreeNode)
the BugSquad will be happy to help you to start contributing!

Wanna be famous? Is easy! remember to use 5-A-day so if you do a good
work your name could be listed at the top 5-A-Day Contributors in the
Ubuntu Hall of Fame page!

We are always looking for new tasks or ideas for the Bug Days, if you
have one
add it to the Planning page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/Planning

If you're new to all this, head to

Have a nice day,

Re: [libreoffice-users] Frustrated Base Users / Errors in Base 3.3 (OO 3.2 work beautifully)

2011-02-08 Thread Fabian Rodriguez
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi Tony,

Thanks for sharing your findings and experience (including your work!).
You're doing an important part of the job to fix such issues: reporting
them and bringing attention to them.

I posted separately about the Ubuntu Bug day coming up, it's a great
opportunity to learn more about the process and get involved. Reporting
bugs upstream is also an important part of that work. Then when
developers get to it, the goal is to have a clear idea of what needs to
be done.

An important next step (after acknowledging such important problems
exist in Base) is to make a list and one by one try to reproduce and
confirm such issues in a consistent manner, then file individual bug
reports for those ASAP. See this post for details on how to join the effort:
http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/You-re-Invited-This-Week-s-Ubuntu-Bug-Day-LibreOffice-and-OpenOffice

If we wait for someone to be available to work on such issues, when
that day comes such people may just have nothing to do if the list is
empty ;)

Cheers,

Fabián

 Hi All
 
 Firstly, I'd like to say that I don't completely agree with Andreas
 Säger's, post
 
 http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/msg02064.html
 
 Firstly, I have been using OpenOffice from pre version 1 days, and I
 have to say, when Base reached the 3.2 release it was very good, in fact
 3.1  3.2 versions of Base are very good, and if you want to see what
 can be achieved with Base, have a look here
 
 http://ostdb.no-ip.org/
 
 It's a project I have been working on for a while, using MySQL as a
 back-end. Feel free to download and take the database for a spin, but
 don't do it in LO 3.3, because Base is severely broken in 3.3, I really
 wish it wasn't, but alas it is.
 
 To read through what I've worked through to test the various
 combinations of LO and operating system / hardware combinations, read my
 feedback to ubuntu bug 709778
 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/709778
 
 What makes the issues with Base 3.3 worse is that there is no
 consistency in the bugs, as you will see by reading my posts to the
 above bug report. NONE of these issues occurred in OO 3.2. This
 unfortunately reflects really badly on the Open Source community
 altogether, surely cannot the coding for Base be regressed to how it was
 in 3.2, until the changes that were attempted in 3.3 can be more
 thoroughly tested.
 
 Please, I may not have the skills to be able to contribute to the source
 of these projects, but I do my utmost to promote what was OO, and was
 going to do so with LO, but I'm afraid introducing users to OO/LO3.3 may
 have a negative impact. To top this all off, I was so looking forward to
 LibreOffice, but until these hither too not present errors in Base,
 particulary, are resolved, then I cannot recommend moving to LO.
 
 I really hope somebody is able to fix this, and soon.
 
 Thanks
 
 Tony
