Great improvements in 3.4, especially for the eye in writer!
Keep up the good work!
I want to suggest an idea, I want to have the change to by default, save my documents in .doc instead of .odt
You can already set it to save as doc by default in the preferences afaik…
I just wish that LO would save in a format that will open in PowerPoint or Word viewer. Both complain about LO files but not OOo files.
You can teach me how? A mini guide. Please.
Me contestaré yo mismo para aquellos que no sepan.
1- Open Libre Office
2- Click Tools
3- Click Load/Save
4- Click General
5- (Down says “always saves as”) click that button
6- And put Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP
Pourquoi les gens de OpenOffice.org et vous de libreoffice ne se réunissent pas pour avoir une grande communauté forte et efficace???
Je souhaite pour ma part que vous imaginez le prochain libreoffice: 4.0.0 ???
Thanks from Algeria………………
I wish they would speed up LO start and file opening.
Also, marking part of formula on Win XP and Win7 is slow.
Printing some XLS documents produce bug where LO prints all sheets, not only selected.
Just put your RAM to 100 Mo instead of 20, and a little more per docs.
😉
Does it build with GCC 4.6?

Too bad I can’t give this version a try. 🙁
I think tge next few releases should be all about ui improvments. Lo looks so dated and ugly. Also ui functionalty needs improvement.
Lo is very functional, but oh so ugly I cannot bear to look at it!
There seems to be a problem with
LibO-URE_3.4beta3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
I unpacked it and installed it, but I get no response when loading it from the menu. From the command line using
libreoffice –impress
it just gives the error
/opt/libreoffice/program/oosplash.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Not starting on Debian, is reported in this bug:

It seems that LibO 3.4 development will be harder and more paiful than the 3.3 release.
Don’t be discouraged. The guys have done a great job so far. 🙂 It’s not the first nor the last time issues come up. But they will be fixed.
