Hi
I installed a new version of Linux Mint with a new version of LibreOffice (ppa:libreoffice/ppa
v. 24.2.3.2) and Zotero v. 6.0.35.
Unfortunately, as usual the Zotero extension doesn’t work at first and when I try to install the one from the local directory, LibreOffice doesn’t show me all directories
Can you help me?

Also, I am having trouble assigning a macro to a keyboard shortcut.
I am trying to follow all of the Online Help instructions, but it’s just not working for me.

hello. is there a way to get a function to act on cell designations that are variables?
i have =sum(a1:z1) and i would like to use a variable as the second cell in the sum function i.e e.g. substitute b1 or n1 for z1 and have the second postion in the =sum() function look to the text cell where i input the text b1 or n1. i am guessing =sum(a1:$$variable)
or some such.
thank you for your time

Tried both about 3 times and now can only open about 30% of my files. I tried it on Chrome as i do not believe my Chrome has anything that blocks like my Ublock on firefox; I know i shut off MS defender on all tries But not sure i shut off firewall - if i did it was probably only once. I had a suggestion from someone that knows computers beyond the average knowledge base - that i go to Desktop and first delete all of my previous LO’s before i start downloading a new one = this scares me in that maybe it will lose all of my folders &files. I would describe my computer skills as basic only ..read more

in the example file attached i have 2 remarks:
test2.odt (46.7 KB)
1- in the first page there is a number 2 of footnote 2 that should be in the same first page, but it is shown in another page. why is this happening? and how to fix it?
2- the first footnote direction is left to right while the second one is right to left, while they both have the same style and the option of that style is: supoerordinate…, why is this happening?

because the footnote anchor is not visible in some style formatting i want put the footnote anchor between brackets so as yo make it more visible.
i can add the brackets with the find and replace but because it is not automatically done i don’t want to use it, i may add other footnotes or i may delete the brackets later.
in this post there is workaround: How do I format a footnote anchor? - #2 by PYS

i have downloaded the font from here: “Linux Libertine G and Linux Biolinum G for LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org desktop publishing, OpenType to Graphite conversion ..read more

Hi.
I’ve created (with great difficulty) a macro which checks that the quantity ordered of a product conforms to its packaging. As the packaging is in table T_PRODUCTS (PRD_PKG) and the quantity in table T_ORDERS_SUB (ORD_QTY), I did as I could using the column names for the modulus check:
intColumn1 MOD intColumn2 <> 0
The macro seems to work fine (although I think it could be designed more simply, but I don’t know any other way) but there’s just one problem: when I select a new product in the listbox, it doesn’t update right away in the subform table control (frmProducts) and as the pr ..read more
