[libreoffice-users] Brochure printing doesn't scale to page

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

Hi. 
Just tried to post a question on the AskLO forum page. I don’t think I’ll use 
that again - I need “points” to post a picture (WHY?) and the link to a picture 
is totally un-intuitive.

Using Version: 5.2.2.2 Build ID: 8f96e87c890bf8fa77463cd4b640a2312823f3ad on 
MAC OS Sierra, with Epson WF 2660 printer 
Two problems here. 1. In Print>Paper Handling the suggested paper size is US 
Legal, although every setting I can find is UK and A4. Why is this? 
2. The brochure prints ok, but the text is reduced in size, i.e. doesn't fit 
the page as in the attached picture link. 
How do I get a) the suggested paper size to A4, and b) how to get the pages to 
appear full-size in the brochure?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Vw7ioE7vbrVnJFakV1SHBLUmc/view?usp=sharing 


Thanks
Gordon

Word count updates automatically whatever - if you highlight the text on 
a single page, the word count at the bottom of the window shows number 
of words on that page

Try adding "http" to the Ignore section of spell checking.

See if that helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libra Office on a Mac Mini (compared to Ms Office or default installed iWorks Apps)

Hi,

I have never used Libre Office before, or any ‘Office’ type software, other 
than Microsoft Office 2000, 2003,
You'll find LO quite similar in looks to Office 2003. The only thing you 
need to know is that it doesn't contain any sort of mail or PIM client.




I am now (as of Sept 2015) an OU student and am of limited means, so The 'Open 
University Computing Helpdesk’ advised me that I could try Libre Office  - as 
it is free and will ‘do’ whatever Microsoft Office is capable of ‘doing’ in 
respect of what I NEED it to be capable of ‘doing’, in order to create any and 
all documents, essays, assignments, projects, etc for my B.A.(Hon’s) History 
degree course.

Is it the case that Libre Office is as 'feature packed' as Ms Office, or are 
there some important features that will be missing from Libre Office when 
compared to Ms Office?
If the Helpdesk say it's fine to use LO, then it's fine to use LO! 
You'll find that unless you need to create extremely complex formatted 
document, then LibreOffice WILL do everything you need.
For "normal" use then LO certainly contains as much functionality as MSO 
- indeed when I was a Systems Accountant for two large PLCs, I suspect 
that we could have easily used LO instead of MSO!


Good luck!

Hi Tom,
I've not had a good experience with AndrOffice - however the LO Viewer 
(from the Document Foundation) seems to work very well. There's also a 
developers option to enable simple editing, although I've not yet used it.
The LO Viewer downloads to the device, so you don't need to be online 
whereas AFAIK all the others need internet access...


YMMV.

That's correct. Install goes OK, get the error on launching.

Did this happen when installing or when trying to open the program?


Trying to open.

First we need to know exactly what happened. Exactly what did you 
download, from exactly where? How did you install it (clicking 
something or using a terminal)? Some details about your computer would 
also be appropriate I think, for instance to figure out if you 
selected the right package for your machine.




I downloaded the 64 bit Deb package from libreoffice.org, extracted all 
files, right-clicked in the Debs folder and chose open with Terminal. 
I then issued the command

sudo dpkg -i *.deb


My computer is an Acer Aspire E3 112 64 bit with 120GB SSD and 4GB RAM

[libreoffice-users] Bizarre effect of LO 5 ppa on different machines

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I have to machines, both 64 bit, both running Linux Mint 17.2 fully updated.
I have used this code to install LO 5.0:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

On one machine, I now have LO 5.0.
On the other, it's still on 4.4.3.2

Can anyone throw any light on this bizarre ocurrence?
Why should one machine get LO 5 and the other not?

I think the fonts are OS dependent - in other words they're part of the

You should be able to copy the fonts from your mother's computer and

If you'd added the PPA deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu trusty main all you
would have had to do is an upgrade.

In a terminal do
sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*


That should remove all your versions of LO.
Then see here for how to install via PPA:
http://linuxpitstop.com/upgrade-libreoffice-4-4-4-on-ubuntu/

As you will have removed ALL your versions of LO then you will have to
edit the final command to

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

https://uk.owncube.com/public.php?service=filest=b825d02c15a64c8f8dd98f7ea1639c81

If I then do FormatPage as in the above Help article, I get this:
https://uk.owncube.com/public.php?service=filest=07d7e0193f771d8c12c4074b75caa3e3

and as you can see, there's no Background tab as mentioned in the above 
Help item!

Where are Watermarks in 4.4.0.3?

Cheers
Gordon

[libreoffice-users] Graphical Borders in Writer

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I'm using LO 4.4.0.3 on Xubuntu 14.10.
I would like to create a document in Writer with a graphical border.
Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks

Gordon

[libreoffice-users] Installation of 4.4 on Ubuntu has a slight problem

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

On Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit, I purged the existing version of LO, downloaded
the tar.gz for 4.4, and installed as per the /readme
/The install procedure did NOT add the module icons to the launcher - I
had to search for Write, Calc etc and when they were open, lock them to
the launcher.
Now going to install on my 64 bit machine and we'll see if the same
thing happens

here's the definitive guide:
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:All#Dual-Booting_Windows_and_Ubuntu
There's a lot of information on that page.
In Brief:

1. Ensure you have a Windows Recovery media and have backed up all
   data. (Not that I've ever had anything go wrong, but you never know!(
2. Download the Ubuntu iso and create a bootable USB stick (or CD/DVD -
   the USB stick is more convenient and flexible IMHO).
3. Boot up from the USB stick and you can try Ubuntu without making any
   changes to your computer, to see if you like it!
4. If you do, create free disk space on your C drive using Windows Disk
   management.
5. The only slightly complicated thing to do is to create the
   partitions - do NOT let the Ubuntu installer do that automatically.

Hope that helps.
the total time to install (depending on your internet connection) should 
be 40 minsincluding LibreOfice.

 though I'll do what you say, it must be emphasized that as far as I can
tell

more than once, I downloaded from the site you show on Sunday
 I did this as the link from Computer active didn't work
 too, I only went to Microsoft for an Icon as my laptop
refused to install the software by which I mean let me use it
 your website wasn't very clear on what to do in that regard

Anyway I now see you've sent another email,
so I won't re-download till I've read that


When I tried that, the IE downloader on Windows 8.1 changed the file 
extension to .man - which of course won't run.
You need to change the file extension back to .msi, and to do THAT, you 
need to go into File explorer and turn ON the show file extensions 
option, because for some reason that I cannot fathom, Windows has that 
option turned OF by default.


Good luck!

 All,

 I'm more than a little frustrated/angry at the support options for LO. 
 The choice seems to be between:

 * A web interface that requires a log on to yet another service I don't
 have or want to have.

 * A Nabble interface that requires registration and one of those damn
 captia codes that NEVER work.

 * An e-mail interface that clogs my reader.

 Can't we find a way to offer support that is easy and convenient?  I get
 that new groups are considered old fashioned, but they work very well,
 and are easy to use (even by kids on cell phones).  Open to suggestions,
 but I don't think moving to the next hot thing is the answer unless it
 is easy to use.  My 2 cents anyway.

 Dave,

There's a twitter account.
https://twitter.com/libreofficehelp

Most people under the age of thirty don't know what newsgroups are, or
how to access them.
IMHO there's no point in using obsolete media.
You can subscribe to a daily digest instead of individual emails

[libreoffice-users] File-Send-Document As doesn't!

LO 4.3.5.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 with Thunderbird as default email client.
I click on any of the File-Send options, TBird opens up a new message
window with no attachment, nothing. No sign of the document at all.
Seems the Send to Email is broken?

 Basically, I want to reverse the lines, moving the top to bottom and

 If I just copy and paste and the cells aren't protected by '$' the
 cells change accordingly.  I don't want that to happen.  I want the
 formulae to reference the same cells.  I just want to move them to
 another location.  Is there any way to do this?



Yes - add $ to the cell references in the formula - e.g., A2 becomes
$A$2. That means you can move the formula anywhere you want but it will
still reference A2...

Re: [libreoffice-users] no numbering for first pages

You're not alone -
I too have not figured out the page numbering system;
   


See if this works:

*How do I make my first page a cover or title page and start page 
numbering (Page 1) on the second page of my document?*




1.

   Open a new Writer document.

2.

   Enter some or all of the text that you want on your cover page (or
   simply press the Enter key a few times).

3.

   Press F11 to open the Styles and Formatting window. Choose Page
   Styles from the icons (hover with your pointer on each icon to open
   the note). Double-click on First Page for assigning the First
   Page style to the first page of your document.

4.

   Place the cursor at the end of the first page. Select Insert-Manual
   Break from the menu bar.

5.

   Select Page Break. Then choose the style to use for the next page
   (pick one from the menu - such as Default). Then mark the check
   box called Change page number. In the box below this check box the
   number 1 should appear. Click OK.

6.

   Now you should have two pages. Put the cursor in the second page,
   then select Insert-Footer-Default from the menu bar. A footer area
   will appear on the second page.

7.

   To insert the page number, select: Insert-Fields-Page Numbers. A
   number '1' should appear on the second page of the file.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Documentation Team needs reviewers for 5 chapter of Writer

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

On 18/09/14 12:10, Tom Davies wrote:

Hi :)
The documentation team needs 5 chapters to be reviewed, ie checked for
accuracy (not writing anything, usually).

It could be  different person for each chapter so you can sign-up to do
just 1 and then see how it goes.  If 4 people joined the team we could have
the full guide published in a week or so!

Reviewing is the stage where you just check that when the guide says click
on this that it does what the guide says.  Mostly you can probably confirm
just from memory but it's good to click through a random sample just to
check.

Since it's the Writer Guide it's been through a lot of proof-reading and
such so it's likely to be extremely good already.


There is also an opportunity for someone to go through and replace all
screen-shots as most current ones were done in Windows.  Generally it's
preferred if screen-shots are done in Mac or Linux (preferably Linux) jic
there are ever any copyright issues.  (Apple has less reason than MS to
start anything ridiculous like that.  Linux has no copyright issues).

Doing screen-shots is more fun than just straight reviewing but involves a
bit of faffing around so racing through doing a straight review is more
helpful at this stage.


Anyone up for it?  If so please join the
documentat...@global.libreoffice.org
mailing list and give a very brief paragraph to let them know something
about why you'd like to help or why you think you'd be good (ie NOT a CV).

Regards from
Tom :)



I'd be happy to give it a go - I'm away now though until next Monday 
morning...

[libreoffice-users] Uninstalling LO 4.3.0.4 from Ubuntu 14.04

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I installed 4.3.0.4 from the deb packages. I now wish to uninstall and 
revert to the official Ubuntu-supplied version.

Using either

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice

or

sudo dpkg -P libreoffice

I get the dreaded
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove libreoffice which isn't installed

How can I uninstall 4.3.0.4?

Cheers

Gordon

[libreoffice-users] Send Document as Microsoft Word doesn't

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

LO 4.3.0.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 - Thunderbird as default email client.
In LO Writer, if I click on FileSendEmail as Microsoft Word then it 
opens a new message window in TBird, but with no attachment, which 
rather negates the function!
I use this facility to be able to keep one format of document on my 
machine, rather than having to do a Save As into MS Word format.

Is this a bug in 4.3?

Re: [libreoffice-users] the release 4.3 in PPA launchpad

I think it's reasonable to expect it to take at least a week.  There are

It would be good to see more people join the team and maybe learn how to do
this = even though it might slow this one down it might help with future
releases.  I suspect that it would be a really good way in and possibly
might be able to be done by someone with fairly low skill-level as a way of

As far as I know, Rico Tzschichholz is moderator of the PPA in

On the other side of the coin, I was a Group Management/Systems

We had J D Edwards ERM system running on AIX. (And I have a few stories
about THAT as well!)
The Group Finance Department wanted a reporting tool to ensure integrity
of reporting.
We did some research and eventually purchased Hyperion - an
industry-standard reporting tool.
The IT dept refused to install it, saying they hadn't been consulted.
One example of the organisation existing for the IT dept's benefit,
rather than the other way round! ;-)

 though you'll want one with a large display.
 
 

If you're talking about Euro Office, it only supports odt at the moment.
Support for ods and odp is promised in future releases.
Having said that - it seems to work pretty well on a Kindle Fire HD...

 You probably can't get a PPA or anything for Ubuntu 10.04 now.  It is
 past it's end-of-life.  Generally it is recommended to upgrade to
 12.04 LTS (this time 5 years support). 
If the OP is going to upgrade, I would suggest that he waits a couple of
months for 14.04 LTS to be released... :-)

I'm wanting to change my subscribed and authorised email address.
Can I do that all in one place, or do I have to unsubscribe and

Certainly in Office 2010 you have the option to set ODF as the default

ODSExcel bug of displaying values instead of formulae..

[libreoffice-users] Document locked on other system

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

Trying to open a document which is stored locally and not on a server
and I get this?

Document file 'Forum%20and%20site%20logins.odt' is locked for editing
by yourself on a different system since 18.09.2012 12:32
Open document read-only, or ignore own file locking and open the
document for editing.

How do I fix this?

 There is probably a lock file in the same directory as the one you are
 editing. It could be hidden, one I am using now looks like
 .~lock.heattreating.odt#.
 With the document closed for editing, try deleting the lock file.

I looked for that first and couldn't see it.
Re-tried and there it was! (No idea why it didn't appear the first time...)

Thanks!

And have they taken out the bug (cough cough) whereby if an ods
document is opened in MS Excel all the formulae are stripped out, just
leaving the last value instead?

 Hi :)
 Yes, that problem was only in 2010 and 2007 and was due to their
 pathetic attempts to use the older ODT (well specifically ods) format
 that no-one else was using much at that time because we had all moved
 on to the newer version.  Their 2013 and 365 uses the newer format so
 they don't suffer from that issue (apparently)

 Tom :) 



That's good to hear!
Cheers!

 I thought that was a feature.  At least it is if you listen to MS.  ;-)

 BTW, don't forget about them making that year 1900 Excel bug an ISO
 standard.


ROTFLMAO!

[libreoffice-users] Weblog extension not working in 4.1?

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

Using LO 4.1 on Ubuntu 13.04
Installed the Sun Weblog extension, configured my Blog in it.
Everything seems to work EXCEPT it won't post to the Blog!
Doesn't matter whether I do File-Send-To Weblog or click on the To
Weblog icon, nothing happens.
Any one got a solution or should I report a bug?

Re: [libreoffice-users] compatibility with documents edited in officesuite 7

Good morning,
I'm writing this after contacting officesuite 7 support, apparently the
issue is not on their end
The OfficeSuite Pro saves the files in native format. Please contact Libre
Office for more help.
  but it seems I can not edit a document in officesuite 7 for android, and
then continue to use it in libreoffice. the files are all in docx format
Any time I do, when I return to my PC to continue editing it, i get the
message 'general input / output error' when i try to open the file. no
other error messages happen, and nothing I can do will change the error.
I am using dropbox to synchronize between my pc and my android device. I
used to not have an issue with officesuite and microsoft word. Dropbox
fortunately saves prior copies, and I have been able to recover documents
after editing them mobile.
I have tried using ubuntu and windows 7 for libreoffice, multiple
computers, and multiple android devices running officesuite 7 pro.
Could you suggest anything I can do to try and remedy this issue?
Thank you,
Ian Dalton

I've just created a new docx document in Oficesuite 7 Pro on my Kindle, 
saved it to Skydrive, downloaded it on my Netbook running Ubuntu 13.04 
with LO 4.1 and opened it with no problems.

(Mind you that was a very simple document)

I agree! (I used the most incompatible format deliberately).
I'm just staggered there is STILL no Office suite for Android that will 
edit and save odf documents...

If the commenter is correct, then CNET really need to rethink their

Kingsoft is well-known in Android circles as LO doesn't have an Andoid 
option!
The company was formed in Hong Kong when Hong Kong was still British - 
so it's not a communist Chinese company...

Google doesn't show any results for EuroOffice - do you have a link?

Extensions/add-ons are a great way of keeping unnecessary features out of the 
way of the majority users that never need certain features.

I think the generally used stats are that 80% of users know about less than 20% 
of features in MS Office.  That's not a different 20% for each user adding up 
to 100% amoungst 5 users.  It's more the case that if you stripped MSO down to 
20% of it's features then 80% of people wouldn't notice anything missing.  In 
terms of actual usage and from just observations and conversations with 
individuals i would agree with Tim about it being more like 1% of features 
being used 99% of the time.  People tend to not use most of what they know and 
they don't know much.  They focus on just getting the job done, not on fancy 
ways of doing it.

Tom :)

years worked in a company where VBA was used...or macros come to think 
of it.
