sometime it happens that figures which I have inserted in a document with writer do disappear, that is I insert the picture, save the document, and then when I open the document again some of the pictures are no more there, or at least they do not show. Only some, not all. In one case I printed the document and the figures where in the print, but they did not appear in the screen. In another case changing the type of anchor made a disappeared figure to appear again.
Do you have an idea about the reason of that?
Thanks

Please advise your OS and LO version. I have sometimes seen similar
behavior with MSO files with 3.3.1 but not with 3.4.3 both using
Ubuntu/Pinguy 11.04. What I was seeing was blocs disappear from view
with LO with msox formats but the data was actually there and could be
viewed in MSO.

Hi. I have this regularly, just last week opening an OOO2.4 document
with LO 3.3.4. I think there are some bugs filed for it.
I found with my systems the best way to prevent it was to turn off
Automatic backups and Save Autorecovery information under
Load/Save>General.

Hi 
Is this something to do with the "Anchor Point"? I tend to find that right-clicking on an image and changing the "Anchor Point" to "Anchor to page" or "... to paragraph" seems to fix the picture on the page better.
I don't think i have found the perfect way of doing this tho. Also when the document is opened in Word the pictures sometimes get thrown around a bit as they don't have as many choices.
My 'work-place' found they 'had to' install LibreOffice on all machines in order to be able to do nice documents with pretty pictures.

Hi
I don't know which Version of LO you have, butt if you use LO3.4.3 than it is probably the following Bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37083
In LO3.3.4 this Bug doesn't exist.
@Tom: Sometime it is not possible to anchor to page. For example if you need to hide and reshow columns in a Spreadsheet.

Depending on the nature of your picture/graphic, you need to set different anchor point. If your graphic is not related to the text and it's only decorative to the page, you anchor to the page. If it's related to certain paragraph, anchor around to *that* paragraph.
If you click on an image, you will see "anchor icon" displaying either in the beginning of a paragraph, or a page. If you anchor it to a paragraph, and if you delete/insert more texts before anchored paragraph, your image will be pushed down or up along with other texts; very useful if your image is related to that paragraph. You can also drag "anchor icon" around to anchor to other paragraph.
Make sure to match "anchor point" and "position to." If you anchored it to page, position it to "entire page"(usually). If you anchored it to paragraph, position it to "paragraph area." This is, of course, general setting and you might want to set it differently according to your needs.

Hello,
i've got a problem. I have polish version of libreoffice but all formulas in calc are in english. I mean if i want to calculate average i have to use AVERAGE() instead of polish ŚREDNIA(). It wouldn't be problem but there are polish function names in help. What can i do to make polish formulas working?
Please help me.

(1) When posting a question please start with a virgin email. Do not
reply to another thread and just overwrite the subject. Thanks.
(2) Please specify your Operating System and exact version of
LibreOffice.
In case you are using LibreOffice, that came with Ubuntu 11.10, your
problem is an already known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873702

Hi
I think the problem is that translations are not complete and so the untranslated bits revert to English. I think the best way to deal with it is to encourage a few Polish speakers to join in with the translations teams
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/localizers/
However it doesn't really help much in the short-term and presumably also presents a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. People are more likely to be interested in using and contributing to LO once it is completely translated into their language but in order for it to be translated it needs more people to use it. However it seems that quite a few people are already translating into Polish and it's usually great fun to join in with a team like that.

Hi
Ok, ignore my last email about this. The bug-report that Stefan pointed to gives more and better info. Hopefully it will get fixed now that the Paris Conference is over unless Ubuntu has a freeze on translations at the moment. I'm fairly sure it doesn't so hopefully the problem 'should' get fixed.

There is a setting for this, maybe it's not set properly?
Tools → Options… → LibreOffice Calc → Formula → ☒ Use English function names
Should be:
Tools → Options… → LibreOffice Calc → Formula → ☐ Use English function names
Or maybe it's the bug that's already mentioned.
Kind regards

Hi
Johnny, that might be a good work-around. I think the problem at the moment is that it's difficult to know whether the formula needs to be in English or as per the documentation for any of those languages. At least by forcing it into English people know what will work. My guess is that this bug will be fixed within the week but who knows ...
