As I stumble through the world of linux, I've decided to log new tricks I learn because I often forget. I decided to share the log because…. eh, why not.

File Dialogue crashes LibreOffice on saving
September 10, 2012April 3, 2013 neanderslob12.04, crash, file dialogue, kde, libreoffice, save as, saving4 Comments
In my Kubuntu 12.04, every time I tried to save a libre office document for the first time or did a save-as (basically it seemed to be whenever the file dialogue would pop up.  The program would eat it without saving a damn thing after I either pressed “Save” or “Cancel.”  It did not however do so when I would save to an already created document (no file dialogue there).
Skip down to update to see an even better way.
Anyway, I didn’t exactly fix it but I did find a work-around.  I uninstalled the package “libreoffice-kde” and everything was all better.  Sure, the program doesn’t look quite as pretty but all the functionality is there, it’s stable and it works well.  Don’t know why it works but it did.  If it doesn’t cure your problems, it’s easy enough to reinstall with no hassle.
Update:  Some folks below brought it to my attention that there’s a more sophisticated (less neanderslobish) way to fix the issue.  Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General.  Then, look for the box next to “Use LibreOffice dialogues;” it’s most likely unchecked.  By checking it, I was able to keep libreoffice-kde and have the program work like a charm.  This was much better than running the software without the kde embelleshemnts…it just looked so…grey.  Thanks so much Alefa and “m.”

Turning off automatic text resizing in Openoffice 3.2
April 8, 2012April 8, 2012 neanderslobauto, impress, libre, office, openoffice, presentation, resize, textLeave a comment
As any user of this program knows, when making a presentation, text is set to automatically resize.  Often this is helpful but sometimes it’s tedious and one might find themselves wanting to turn this feature off on occasion.  To do so, simply right-click on the text box and uncheck auto-resize text.
(Note: yea this is stupid easy, but I’ve found myself looking it up several times.  Maybe if I blog it out I’ll remember next time.)
