[libreoffice-users] LO 4.0.3.3: 'Insert: Horizontal rule' is missing
Having installed Mageia-3 on a trial basis, I have come across an omission in its LO 4.0.3.3 that I have been using on Mageia-2's LO 3.5.7.2, namely 'Insert: Horizontal rule' The result is that any document prepared with 3.5.7.2 does not appear correctly under 4.0.3.3. I see from: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/14922/why-is-horizontal-line-broken-in-401/ that the omission is a deliberate change rather than accidental (although it seems the Help info still thinks otherwise...). Why on earth drop a feature that people are using? What is the rationale? Failing any other solution to my problem, is there any way I can copy the 3.5.7.2 'ruler' file over in to 4.0.3.3 so that the latter shows the lines properly? -- /\/\aurice (Retired in Surrey, UK) Registered Linux User #487649 Linux 64-bit Mageia-2 KDE 4.8.5 Virtualbox 4.1.14 Firefox 17.0.5 KMail 4.8.5 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

[libreoffice-users] LO 3,5,5,3: Odd miror-image landscape diff with LO 3.4.5
I have a 'long-envelope' file that I use fpr printing out envelopes with my address on the left and an addressee box on the right.

Possibly a Mandriva-side issue, but the single data point from Ubuntu could be even margin defaults in drivers from older driver sets (old printer for example). I remember having a Epson C84 inkjet printer, and the page as driven by a much older CUPS than 2.5.6 with Gutenprint only very limitedly linked in had page offset in mapping (even on test page) with page offset to left by almost an inch until I told the developer about the problem and he and I engaged in a month-long conversation in email and the then active linuxprinting.org (Sponsored by the then Mandrake, one of the things that drew me to that distro to buy was their sponsored linuxprinting.org and sponsorship of a bunch of Linux printing driver devs) posts that ended up with the printer driver working in CUPS-Gutenprint. I would tell him how much I had to adjust page manually in page offsetting, and he would default that into code. No internal offset (which during development and adjustment varied a lot as to which way and how much) and exaggeration of size of font and spaces and underline widths which would give a cutoff on right given that CUPS treats everything as if it had 300 dots per inch until much more recently with Gutenprint doing a lot of the background drivere work for more than 1000 printers, and HPijs doing driver work for many HP lasers. General rule, the more modern CUPS and Gutenprint are for printing, the better more drivers are. Printer driver developers are poor, so they tend to not afford to buy a lot of printers themselves-- the C84 was very popular in US, less so in Europe. Now that the printer driver devs are getting more feedback faster, drivers are better faster. He had an Epson C82 to use, donated to him, but the C84 had enough differences that a driver had to be extremely adjusted to work with a C84. He changed things slowly, told me when a new update was ready, and I downloaded the updated driver set often-- I wanted to not spend $200.00 US on a good printer to replace my C84. The Ubuntu user might possibly benefit from this somewhat long post, so I include it here for forwarding. Mandriva of PowerPack or 2010 varieties without CUPS and Gutenprint and driver sets updated to current, might also have such issues."

The file referenced below prints correctly under OpenOffice Writer 3.2.1, but not with LO 3.4.5. (Tried on 2 different PC's, two different printers.) Under LO 3.4.5, although a Print Preview is complete, the actual printed page is missing several inches of text on the right. (The rightmost column that is correctly printed has the header "H.C.

OK - as you and others have described, there *are* of course ways of importing templates (and other user info). It's just that one has to *know* what they are, for example by enquiring in here. What I actually said was: "Perhaps LO should be a little more helpful in this respect." For example, anyone who has tried using the Google Chrome browser will see a superb example of 'being helpful' (in this case importing Firefox settings).

The problem with that is that Import does not show 'hidden' directories (i.e. those whose name is prefixed with a "."), and OpenOffice's ".ooo3" directory is one of those.

Have now done that - thank you - and Tools/Options/Languages does show "GB" language environment. However, the spellchecker is still happy if I use US spelling or GB spelling, e.g. if I enter: Harbor favor neighbor harbour favour neighbour and hit the SpellChecker button, nothing is marked, nor was any word flagged on text entry - even though "Check spelling as you write" is set.

It doesn't bother me much that the occasional word or phrase is marked - that's not intrusive - and I would welcome it finding it more subtle grammatical erors.

My use of Writer is for a few general 'home' letters and such - not a plethora of large formal documents - and I only have one style. I do not wish to get into the complication of 'a style for this and a style for that', etc. In that sense I have no problem with OpenOffice Writer.

My observations on this: (1) Using OpenOffice Writer, these 'view' markings no not appear on this document. (2) I don't understand why e.g. "walking tour" has been underlined as a possible grammar error. (There is no error adjacent to the phrase.) (Perhaps because this LibreOffice is 'US English' rather than the GB-English that I use? How can that be a grammar error even in US English?) (3) Why is space(s)/tab before the first word of any paragraph filled with the blue wiggly line? I don't want to turn grammar checking off, but the marker lines at the beginning of every paragraph are distracting... Why is LibreOffice doing this when OpenOffice is not?

[libreoffice-users] LO Bete 3.3: Strange wiggly lines when viewing a file.
Having just installed LibreOffice 3.3 Beta and trying Writer, all seems fine at first, except that tabbed space at the start of lines has been filled in with a wiggly line. Also, a couple of phrases have been underlined with the same wiggly line (e.g. "walking tour"). How does one switch such marking off (and why it it there)?
