Indeed! But I did send my message privately in an attempt to help the 
questioner to express her query better - to improve the likelihood of 
help - without embarrassing her in public. I couldn't myself help 
without more details, but what I said might help her to express her 
needs so that others could. She has been asked by Important People 
(not me) not to forward private messages to the list ("Disclosing 
private emails makes list subscribers very uncomfortable, no matter 
how you feel about this"), but she persists in ignoring that advice. 
In fact, I have no problem with this material becoming public.

   Thank you for responding,

Er, what's a "PP", please? If you get no replies, wouldn't it be sensible
to wonder if people did not understand your request? Do you perhaps mean a
presentation (Impress) document? Or something else?

Impress]

Why would you create any parts that were not "best"?!

   [for the same reason, when writing anything; first, I get the idea down
as quickly as possible, then I add flourish to it, then after a few days, I
return to the piece to edit]

Do you mean that you could edit slides from different presentations into a
single presentation? Surely you can simply copy slides from the Slides
panel in one document and paste them into the Slides panel of the other
document? Doesn't that still work for you?

   [yes, it allowed me to insert each PP into one; in fact, that's one of
the main reasons I preferred LO to any of these others.
   ok, How can I see the slide panel of the other PP when only the one PP
is open?; are you saying, it's possible to somehow open LO more than once?;
wow, I can't image what this screen would even look like if I had 1/2 dozen
LOs open at one time.]

But this feature seems to be lacking now ...

If you explained how you did it before, someone may be able to comment on
whether your method is still available.

   [hopefully - thank you.]

Yes, I can see how to insert images, ... but not how to insert PPs.
>

Hold on: if a "PP" is a presentation document, you cannot insert an entire
document into something else. Indeed, what other sort of document would you
be trying to insert it into? So a "PP" cannot be a presentation and no-one
will know what you are talking about.

   [ah, but it was quite possible in the LO 3:]

If no-one answers your question, surely a good start would be to consider
that you might not have expressed it clearly?

Maybe changing to a Mac wasn't a good idea after all; ...

Oh, you may well be right! Ho, ho!

I trust this helps.

   yes, this was right next to the image one ... in fact, one could
insert an image, sound, or PPs.

Hi :)
It helps to save using the older formats.  In MS Office try 
Save As ... - Microsoft ... (97/2000/Xp)

Hello there,

A million thanks for free LibreOffice. 

I have created some excel chat on Windows with Microsoft office 2007 and 2010. 
I have nought a  macbookpro laptop and I have installed on it OpenOffice 3.3 
and last night I noticed it doesn't display my excel charts. My charts are 
inside documents (I mean I have included my graphs inside my PhD thesis 
chapters). Open Office displays words and description but graphs are faded. I 
can see graphs in my friend's laptop which is windows and she has Microsoft 
Office 2007 on it.

My question is this:

If I install free LibreOffice on my MacbookPro (2011 version), will it display 
my Excel charts that I have created on Windows laptop with Microsoft office 
2007 and 2010?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards

Mary

Re: [libreoffice-users] Please help/advice...

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)

Good move.  Posting a new bug-report and linking it to the old one was good 
because they appear to be slightly different.  OOo have never been fast at 
accepting fixes for bugs which was part of the reason for Go-oo. LibreOffice 
and 
Go-oo merged bringing in a wealth of well-tested code.  LibreOffice is working 
at fixing the back-log while also developing new features.

The document is not a document, it is a template, and it contains a lot of 
macros.  Documents produced using the template 'should' be easier to translate 
into MS Office formats.  MS Office uses dangerous and vulnerable systems for 
it's macros.  Presumably OOo and LibO macros are very different.

Can you save this template as a document with no macros? 
File - Save As ..

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hello my name is Chris Fleischmann, I have been using the OpenOffice SDK with 
OpenOffice.org for quite some time. All was working well, except for when I 
tried to save my document to MS Word format. I came across a bug where by a 
TextFrame with a background image (attribute: BackGraphicURL is set), contains 
another TextFrame holding an image, (see uploaded 
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/67358/test2.sxw

exhibiting one of the errors seen when opening in MS Word)... When trying to 
save the document, you get an error and the document doesn't open properly in 
MS 
Word, 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007. I previously logged a bug against this as: 
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103356

However this bug was closed as a duplicate of :

I have tried now using LibreOffice for personal reasons as well as newer

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide on the subject.

Hello Tom, thanks for your response... I sent you a separate email as it 
contained an attachment with my sample MS Word file (not engineering) 
that also has the problem/behaviour that I see (no template). Also 
attached is Engineering's sample MS Word Doc file showing the not
