Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Not using libre from free sites because they are 28 or 125 mb in size so i deleted those now using the full version 220 mb version 3.6.6. but thinking of trying 3.5.4 since some think that s the best version to try with windows 7 but trying abiword and I B M lotus and Kingsoft maybe they won t throw fits at windows 7 so no hurry to reset w7; libre needs fixing not windows 7 . Windows 7 came with the lap top; when i use save as i have 7 choices so which is the best to use; save as with libre and can i get a save doc format switched over to saved as; and would libre stop having win7 fits i wonder .

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Ok, deleting a thing doesn't always uninstall it in Windows. I think it works in Wine but not Windows. (errr Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator because it is a far more sophisticated way of getting Windows programs running on non-MS platforms). So can you open the Add/remove programs thing in Win7? it's a real pain to try to find it. I tend to stumble onto it by accident and then quickly do everything i can that i need to before i lose it again. It might be that when you say you have deleted programs you have been using the right tool, especially if you have much experience with Vista (which i mostly managed to dodge). So, when you say you deleted the programs was that by dragdropping them into the wastebin or right-clicking on the program folde and choosing delete or did you find some weird gui that looked a bit like a normal folder with odd things in it? Ok amazing how you get so bloody off track i deleted the libre versions that are not full size and where do the hell do anything on normal folders with odd things in it How dare you be so crazed and bring that up are you on drugs? and i delete from add/delete in the control panel . . Ok, so if Win7 was pre-installed then we can kinda rule that out of the equation for now. The way you were talking about it made it sound like you had bought a Win7 Dvd and installed it yourself without having had much experience of doing that sort of thing. It's not as easy as people make out! So, we can definitely rule out needing to install Ubuntu just in order to make sure you have a working OS on your machine at this stage!! How can you get so mixed up and so off track amazing very scary . C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\config\LibreOffice\3 i copyed than pasted into search and nothing came up; folder not found; used to getting that so has to done the hard way but no hurry - whew later . . --- On Mon, 10/15/12, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: From: Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x To: Robert Burns joyseyh...@yahoo.com, users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Monday, October 15, 2012, 9:31 AM Hi :) Thanks :) Ok, deleting a thing doesn't always uninstall it in Windows.

Ok, so when we say to rename the user profile that is only the user profile for LO, not for Win7! Each program tends to have it's own way of storing all those settings and configurations. They all tend to store them separately and most have different ideas of what are the best ways of doing it. Some allow users to go in and mess around with stuff but others really freak out and cause problems! Most OpenSource programs tend to use the same folder to set-up a sub-folder for themselves. Then inside that folder they may only have a little text-file that you can read and maybe even edit with Notepad! LibreOffice tends to have tons of stuff in there so they have a number of sub-folders inside their main sub-folder = such as one sub-sub-folder to contain all Extensions, another for back-ups, another for galleries of images, another for templates and so on. If you rename the main sub-folder and then open LibreOffice again it will automatically create a new one with all the default settings. Of course since you only renamed rather than deleted it you can always copy some of those sub-sub-folders back to regain settings and see if it was that sub-sub-folder that was causing the problem. Many of us try to create a copy of a working sub-folder in order to be able to quickly revert to a working system if one of our users has done something crazy

I'm not completely sure why you are searching for it except that it's the most difficult way of trying to find it. Just go into My Computer, open the C: drive and find the Users folder. Double-click on that and then you will see a list of 'Users' although some of them may be just things created by the system rather than being real people. Hopefully one of them will stand out as being someone you recognise. After that it should be fairly easy to navigate fairly quickly since folders are probably sorted in alphabetical order by default.

hum ok amazing how you say everything is mis set in windows never had a problem with vista so that begs the question why do libre and win 7 hate each other it should work like a snap dang it but doesn t . Think i spotted something about spell check needing a red wavey line underlining words and how the lines aren t saved so no mis spelled words get corrected but posted to that hopefully someone will answer to that. And the spelling check doesn t follow the blinking curser always starts at the being skipping mis spelled words can t figure that out yet.

Larry gave a link to help with that. Here is another link that will one day be merged with the one Larry gave http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Factory defaults are possibly a bit less tweaked than whatever you had installed so it may look a little different and may remove some weirdnesses. It's a good thing to try whenever you find weird things going on. It usually beats a reinstall assuming you have now installed a proper version of LO.

The word has been used to mean other things that we often need to talk about in LO. The main page is http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center but often other 3rd party Extensions can be found in all sorts of odd places and OpenOffice Extensions probably also still work.

Just save the file 2. close the file 3. double-click to open it 4. click on the spell-check button If step 3 opens the file in anything other than LibreOffice then 1. close the file again 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose Open with ... 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like more programs. LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of GnuLinux? OS X or other Mac? It seems unlikely you are using a BSD (unless you count Mac) but if you are there might still be someone on this list using it although i think they tend to go off to the devs list fairly quickly or use their own down-stream forums/lists.

And that brings up a question why does libre; spell / grammer check work on some win 7 computers and not others what could it be that we keep missing to click on or re set ? ? --- On Sat, 10/13/12, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: From: Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org, Robert Burns joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 5:11 AM Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

To: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com, users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 11:34 AM Hi :) I think what i would be tempted to do at this stage, since you have put so much timeeffort in is to resize the Win7 partition to around 30-50Gb and then get an Ubuntu Cd and install Ubuntu on however much space you have left (assuming you have over 15Gb to spare). Ubuntu comes with tons of programs already installed so it very usable right from the start. http://www.ubuntu.com/ The download button is halfway down the left side, just under the title Rock Solid. Windows is a Pita to install. I think probably a lot of people on this list share your pain as there are probably a lot us here that have had to try it too. With hindsight i think it's usually best to stick with whatever is already on the machine but just shrink the partition as small as reasonably possible and then use the rest of the space for the new install of whatever. Win7 is great once it's installed and got all the programs but it sounds like yours has something wrong with it, or with the LO install or something. Like i say it is a total pain to install. Not that once you have created the Ubuntu Cd you can boot-up straight from the Cd without even installing it so you can test-drive the lookfeel of Ubuntu. We call it a Live Cd session. You can make a Usb one which is a lot faster but people often still call it LiveCd even if it's Usb.

Just save the file 2. close the file 3. double-click to open it 4. click on the spell-check button If step 3 opens the file in anything other than LibreOffice then 1. close the file again 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose Open with ... 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like more programs. LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of GnuLinux? OS X or other Mac?

It could be something as weird as some problem in the Win7 registry that is corrupted that could be causing the problem. I have to run a checking system every so ofter to fix the registry errors that happen on my various XP and Vista systems I deal with from time to time [mine and others]. Oh well, that is why I have been running Ubuntu since 2009 on my main desktop and on various servers and laptops before then.

To: Lostsoul [hidden email], [hidden email] [hidden email] Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 8:14 AM Hi :) I think just try exactly what you have described. 1. Just save the file 2. close the file 3. double-click to open it 4. click on the spell-check button If step 3 opens the file in anything other than LibreOffice then 1. close the file again 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose Open with ... 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like more programs. LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of GnuLinux? OS X or other Mac? It seems unlikely you are using a BSD (unless you count Mac) but if you are there might still be someone

The best way to fix the undefined language is to set the underlying paragraph style: (the paragraph being selected or the insertion point being in the faulty paragraph) 1. F11 (or Format / Styles and formatting). A new toolbar shows up. 2. Make sure the Paragraph styles list is selected (first toolbutton from the left) 2. Right-Click the selected style name 3.
