No, ordinal numbers are those representing an order, i.e. first, 
second, third, ... instead of one, two, three, ... . Your distinction 
here is between "real" numbers - which can have any value - and 
"integers". Integers have no fractions, but they can be zero or negative.


I just picked up a recent technical book ... . The first few pages 
are called the PREFACE and the page numbers therein are noted in 
lower case Roman numerals like iv, v, vi, viii.


It is standard, of course, for books to have three parts: a title 
page, what is called "front matter", and the main text. And it is 
usual for front matter to be numbered using lower case roman numerals 
and the main text using arabic numbers.



Can LibreOffice do that?


Of course. Page numbers are a property of page styles, so you just 
need separate styles for each part. And there are a number of arabic, 
roman, and cyrillic styles for page numbers.



The first page would have to be i because there is no zero.


Surely the first page is i because it is the first page, not the 
zeroth one! In fact, the title page is usually considered the first 
page but unnumbered, so the front matter will start with ii (or 
possible later).

[libreoffice-users] Numbers displaying in different script!

2013-08-09 Thread shared you
Hi,

I have a strange problem. Whenever I type numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) they don't 
show up in English alphabet, but in some unknown language (see the picture 
[1]). Whenever I copy-paste to other applications, it shows up correctly as 1, 
2, 3, etc. I have set English (USA) as my language, but this bug affects only 
numbers! I don't have this problem in other applications.

Hi.
What is the locale you have set in your operating system.
Does it make a difference if you tick Ignore system input language on 
your screen shot.

You might have to choose the appropriate format (Format  Cells  Number) for 
the cell.

Re: [libreoffice-users] numbers to time

2012-02-20 Thread Nicolás Adamo
I didn't knew the time function, but if you do not need to operate
with the result (i.e. add 8 minutes to 8:15 so as to obtain 8:23 BTW
remember that time units are days, so to add 8 minutes you have to
divide by 24 and then by 60) concatenating strings is always handy:
A1: 8
B1: 15
C1: =a1  :  b1

Nicolás
