Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Opening worksheets from the terminal in linux?
Hi :) I think some of the parameters of the problem weren't clear. A default spreadsheet file normally has 3 sheets. Is it possible to select which of the 3 gets opened? I think that is what the o.p. meant. Err, i usually delete any sheets that i'm not using so that when i open an ancient file i don't have to faff around trying to see if i hid anything on one of the other 2 sheets. This might be a work-around for the o.p. because then each file would only have 1 sheet and hopefully that would be the one opened by default - but it'd probably be annoying. I sometimes find i have to add extra sheets, such as 1 per month or per quarter and breaking those out into separate files would be annoying. Also i tend to find the i don't need to include the path to soffice but do need the path to the file (unless i'm already in the correct folder). So for me it's more like soffice path-name/file-name Regards from Tom :) On 9 September 2014 09:19, Nino Novak nn.l...@kflog.org wrote: Hi Jim, Am 09.09.2014 03:51, schrieb Jim Byrnes: 1.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Opening worksheets from the terminal in linux?
I go one step further and change my default to only have one sheet in any new file. I can always add more as needed, but most of the time I don't need to add anything.

[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Opening worksheets from the terminal in linux?
Hi :) Congrats!! :)) There is no bad. Often problems are mainly made of trying to figure out what the actual problem is. Once it's clear exactly what the problem is the answer is often immediately obvious. It's trying to figure out the right question in the first place that is the real challenge. All posts to the list go to everyone on the list so you only really needed to post once. So i am replying to the important part of the reply and ignoring the rabbit-hole.
