[libreoffice-users] Problems exporting and importing a dialogue

I wanted to transfer a dialogue from a text document to the live version. So I went into the test doc "organise dialogs|Edit" window and exported the dialogue, which was called "OneOff", to a file. Went into the live version, found that I had to edit a dummy dialogue before I could import the

[libreoffice-users] Why is a custom menu item greyed out?

I've been trying to add a custom menu to a document. I go through the motions of adding the menu and saving it within the document, but when I click on it, or any other menu on the menubar, it is greyed out. Assigning the menu item to a macro action has no effect on this. Also, if I put in

[libreoffice-users] Re: Why is a custom menu item greyed out?

Hi Robert, I've tried it for both Write and Calc documents. The menu is a custom menu to add some extra features to the document. As it's a test the assigned macro displays a messagebox. The attached document is a Write document which gives the error - open it and click on any menu item. Best

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems exporting and importing a dialogue

Some thoughts - Whenever I want to add something to another file, I merely 'copy & paste' - does this not work in your case? If you're attempting to upload a file where the first file still exists, then the new one will either replace the original or

[libreoffice-users] Issues with date fields in dialogues

I've been experimenting with date fields in dialogues and have found what I think is an anomaly. As I understand it, a date field is intended to hold a single date in its model. This can be viewed when the dialogue is displayed. Apart from initialising it within the editor, there are at least

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Issue with recent request for Russian font?

Dear Mike, I don't know about your specific problem, but long experience makes me very suspicious of any font whose name is simply the name of a language, e.g. "RUSSIAN.TTF", "GREEK.TTF", "HEBREW.TTF" etc. That's a real alarm-bell. It usually indicates an old 8-bit font dating from before

I don't think you can simply copy and paste an entire dialogue. I tried it and it didn't work. - Peter -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Problems-exporting-and-importing-a-dialogue-tp4204239p4204267.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at

[libreoffice-users] Re: Issues with date fields in dialogues

Hi Robert, What you say is of course all true. But it's not to do with database records (my original experiments were in fact on a spreadsheet), but the data as held in the dialog(ue). Your method (thanks again) of copying a UNO Date into the field works fine, as does changing the text. But

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Why is a custom menu item greyed out?

I think it's a user interface issue. I've had the same thing with my macros that I've added to the toolbar. In Ubuntu, the macros are greyed out, but they work fine. In Windows or Linux Mint, they are not greyed out. The user interfaces and themes are different between the systems. Virgil On

I am with Gabriele, do not understand the problem. Here, We are working with moderately sized documents in several languages. The Copy and Paste works every time. Can copy a technical manual, with up to 170 A4 pages and nearly 100 images, and it pastes correctly. Slightly more difficult is
