This now seems well OT for this list :-(

If the OP wishes, can install perl, and promises /absolutely/ to neither
criticize the remarkably untidy code ( :-) ) nor ask for support, I
could send my fake book script. It handles lyrics and chords, will
transpose as needed and produces a usable-if-not-the-best text or odf
file as output from a could-probably-be-simpler input.

Otherwise, I'd suggest using abc-formatted input and abc2abc (it's a
freebie). Which will happily convert, say,

X: 1
M:4/4
T:test piece
C:Mike
%
K:A
%
"A" "B" "Bb" "C"

to (up a tone)

X: 1
M:4/4
T:test piece
C:Mike
%
K:B
%
"B" "C#" "C" "D"

Somewhat laborious, but at least you'd get the chords done.

[discuss] accessablitty with open office and screen readers.

With IA2 (work in progress), OOo will detect a running screen reader.

But there won't be any changes to the current/old JAA based
solutionwhich will go once we have IA2.

Even if we did that one change (detecting the screen reader), we
wouldn't download and install java+bridge, but only turn on the check
box implicitly.

Hi Walter,

2011/2/3 Walter Schmuck <de>: 

Ooops, I can't open it either.
 

Ah, that's the problem. The process I described works only for files
that are initially saved as odt. The word format (.doc) is a binary
format. You can not "trick" this format with this workaround.

I'm sorry, but I don't think, that there is a way to save your work. I
guess, you don't have a backup of your file, so that you don't have to
redo all the work?

Sigrid

PS: Please reply to the list only, so that others might help as well -
that's why I haven't trimmed down your mail as much.

A fine comment!

Again, apologies for any annoyance caused by my off-key comments earlier.

Despite appearances, I am not some raving anti-American, nor am I a 'BBC English' pedant.
I am someone, however, who believes that there is value in accurately conveying
instructions. To that end, localisations (localizations?) for any language with a lot of
diversity (whether American, French, Spanish or whatever), is needed.

It's a pain for developers, but it leads to a more accessible end-product. Whether it's done
by 'translating' American to British (plus NZ, Canadian, etc), or using short, simple
sentences that (hopefully) are clear to all concerned, it up to those writing the material in
question.

Have a nice day, y'all ;-)

[discuss] 3.3 in standard English

OED uses "Formulae" as plural for a mathematical formula and "Formulas" for non-
mathematical formulas (scientific formulas, etc).

It's a complex issue. I do think the American rule for plurals (put an S on the end, forget all
this Latin nonsense) is far more consistent.

However, my issue is not really spelling - it's grammar, idioms, etc. Sentences that the
make perfect sence to my American friends do not make sense to me and I refuse to try to
use their way of expressing myself unless I have to - simply because I am likely to get it
wrong. I've had too many conversations with either me or them saying, "What I take from
that is....", and one of us having mis-understood something seemingly simple.

And that is why I dislike the trend in software to lump all derivitives of the language spoken
in England together or to assume that people in the UK (or Canada, NZ, SA, etc) are
wannabe Americans.

So, having had a week of translating between American and British at work, and seeing a
download link for "OOo 3.3.0 English (UK)" lead to a 404, I was understandably
disappointed. Being told "Would American do for you instead" was annoying. However,
apologies if I sounded off-key in earlier posts.

As a 'Canuk', I too have some problems with the English I learned in school and the English I see everyday.
For example, I spell Harbour, Favourite, etc., but I think you get the gist of what I am saying, EH? (LOL)

[discuss] Converting a single row of a table from table to text

Posted: 23 Jan 2011 06:39 PM PST

The option that breaks one table into two is Table > Split Table, with the cursor on what should be
the first row of the new table. You'll get several options about what to do with the table header,
too. As you've discovered, Table > Convert > Table to Text operates on the whole table, regardless
of selection. The Text to Table operation creates a table from selected text, though.

If you really do want to create text from a single row of a table, you can select the row, then cut
or copy it, then paste somewhere outside the table. That will give you a one-row table which you can
then Convert to Text.

LibreOffice 3.3 Beta 4 claims big improvements in that area.
