2014 LibreOffice themed 12 page calendar - now A4 paper size and no holidays

users
#1

OK, my mind slipped a gear or two, so I forgot that non-USA people use A4 size paper instead of Letter size.

So, for those people, here are the links to the 2 different calendars in both A4 size paper and Letter size paper. The A4 size has all of the holidays removed, since they were mostly the USA holidays.

As with the Letter size versions, I offer PDF and ODT versions. I use this type of calendar myself and type in the known appointments, meetings, etc., near the last day of the month for the next months dates/times. I have been doing this for years. The date "cells" are large enough for writing in things, as needed. I tend to post both the current month and the next month on my refrigerated so I can look at the upcoming appointments/meetings without getting out my appointment book.

So let me know what you think of these calendars.

I will do edited, as needed, to them when the new 4.2 design theme comes out. I was told that there are some new designs coming out with 4.2, so there may be some different looks. Also, if I can get enough non-dated [or dated for future events] photos, images, graphics, etc., I was planning on creating a "standard" photo style wall calendar with the LO theme[s] and maybe offer it up on Lulu.com for "professional printing" [profit goes to LO] along with the files posted somewhere.

Also, let me know where is the best place to place them on the LO Wiki site. I think these type of LO themed files should be on a LO page with other calendars and items people create for our users to download and use.

NOTE: since someone stated that the "styles" were not properly used, I have to state that the original template was a .doc file and I did not create or change any "style" type of option when editing the content of the template for use with these calendars. So please do not tell me that there is a problem with my use of Styles in these files. It is hard to find a good looking, and editable, calendar template that can be used this way.

In reply to your E-mail from 3-1-2014, 16:37 with subject "[libreoffice-users] 2014 LibreOffice themed 12 page calendar - now A4 paper size and no holidays".

So let me know what you think of these calendars.

This weekend I have made my own version of a calendar created in Calc.
Because I do not like hard-coded solutions.

Completely configurable in any language, with its own holidays etc.

For an A4 version <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_KxxxP2us0mbVNoYlJiUDlfcUE/edit?usp=sharing>

Especially for users in the USA an Legal version <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_KxxxP2us0mMFZEczQwYmhDT2M/edit?usp=sharing>

Try it out and give me a response.

Greetings from the Netherlands,

If I was to do a calendar from scratch, Calc would be my choice as well. I would do one sheet per month, though.

But for some, they might want to print out several months at a time or make the whole year a single PDF file. That is why I choose to start with a .doc template.

I am currently working on making the "Monday as the first day of the week" A4 paper size version. There are no holidays, since I do not think it is up to me to add them for other countries.

It can easily be changed to other languages, since all you have to do is change the names of the days of the week and the names of the months to what they are called in the non-English languages.

That is the key, really. How easy would the calendar file/template be able to be modified for the users language, if they are using it as a template to make their own language version of the calendar.

Actually, I did not even know that most of the world used Monday as the first day of the week, until I was told that the other nations do not use the USA's religious calendar where Sunday is the first day and the 7th day [when God rested in many religions] would be Saturday. So I had to work on modifying my LO themed calendar to "Monday first", plus make it work better for the A4 paper size than my other version[s] were.

The real key to these posts/threads is the fact that there are people from several areas of the world working on different versions of LO themed calendars that our users could download and use. As soon as we find a place to list them all, then we will have a good selection of calendars to choose from. Look at MSO's calendar download page. Right now there are few 2014 calendars all made with Publisher it looks like], but they had a lot of variety of 2013 calendars. I would like to see LO users work on making a large variety of 2014 calendars to share with all of our users, and a place for them to be displayed - with thumbnails - side by side.

I think the proper place is:

http://templates.libreoffice.org/template-center

where there is already a category for calendars.

Hi all

I'm trying to open (or import in a calc file) a csv file (ubuntu 13.10 - libre office).
I have this error:
"I dati non sono stati caricati interamente perché è stato superato il numero massimo di caratteri per cella."
(Data have not been loaded completely because you exceeded the maximum number of characters per cell)

With MS Office the file works.
Do you have any suggestions to understrand and fix the problem/error?

Thank you in advance

Piergio

For the "understanding" part, the message seem pretty clear: you have one
cell that is too long for Libreoffice to handle.​​

I'm not sure about the limit itself, but trying today with LO 4.1.4.2,
between 4096 and 8192 it started showing blank cell (while retaining the
content when editing), but still can save and load as a CSV file.

Either you're really trying to load a file with a cell containing more than
16384 characters (it still works with such a large content), or there was
an error while loading your file that made LO think that one cell is larger
than it is. If your file doesn't contain sensitive informations you could
try uploading it somewhere and put the link here so peoples might try
opening it. Otherwise, you can try editing the CSV file by hand (with
notepad or something), remove half the file, try to load, etc. until you
can pinpoint which part leads to the error.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
There were some contents (only spaces! :)) at the end of the file that I had not noticed before. I deleted this part throughgedit and the file has been correctly loaded.
Problem solved.

Thank you very much again!
