Hello,

It is nigh impossible to find a link to a place where the 3.5.7 can be
downloaded.
I also looked in the nl.libreoffice.org site... no dice!

From the general download site
http://www.libreoffice.org/download
click on the link
'Change System, Version or Language'
Then select your operating system, for example 'Windows'.
From that site select your language 'Dutch'
With that you go to
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=nl
And there you see version 3.5.7

Kind regards
Regina

From what I have seen on the web site, you can select version 3.5.7 in Dutch. Then you must download at two files: the Englished version of 3.5.7 and the Translated User Interface. You can also download the help files if you want them.
      I began on the LO home page. I clicked the Download page. On the right side of the page is a link: "Change System, Version or Language". This led me to a choice of OS's and 32 or 64 bit. I clicked on to go to the language page. I chose Dutch. This led me to the download page again. Clicking Download button, I went to the page with the downloads mentioned above.

Hi Guy,

two ways for that - either use something like

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=nl&version=3.5.7

(windows, Dutch locale, 3.5.7), or browse the versions raw:

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.5.7/

Just below the text LibreOffice Downloaden, you can read " ...Niet de door uw gewenste versie? systeem, versie en taal te wijzigen". and click there.
(With one of the previous versions we had added a more convenient link - has been overseen apparently this time.)

Cheers,

I just spent many hours building a master document which links together
all the chapters of a book, and everything was going fine until somehow,
without any conscious action on my part, it embedded all the linked
documents rather than keeping them as links. Can this be undone, that
is, restoring the original links?

This embedding action defeats the purpose entirely, as I need the
ability to independently edit the linked documents. Then when I reopen
the master document, it normally would display all the updates to the
linked documents. I use Master Documents all the time in this way, and
this mysterious embedding action has never happened before.

When in doubt try these two links:

    For the current downloads for 3.5.7 and 3.6.2 and others:
    http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/

    For all the download versions:
    http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

Hi David,
I'm sorry I can't answer your question.

I noticed that your message is in the middle of the existing thread
"libreoffice-users] Re: [tdf-announce] The Document Foundation
announces LibreOffice 3.5.7". That looks like you hijacked the thread
and changed the subject. First, that is poor etiquette, second your
are less likely to get a good response since it is buried in an
existing thread and does not stand out as a new thread. Many of
us have over 100 messages per day and don't bother looking at a
thread that is not of interest to us. Please, in the future, compose a
new message which will have its own thread.

Thanks, Tom

Hi :slight_smile:
Sorry about the last answer!  I'm forwarding this question to the
Documentation Team as they might have a better and quicker answer than
the Users List.

I also don't have a good answer so i've tried to gather a few thoughts. 
The Writer Guide,  Chapter 13 "Working with Master Documents", might be
more helpful
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide

I suspect that when you open the master document it still asks if you
want to update links?  Even if not then it might be worth doing a
deliberate and easily spotted edit to one of the documents and then reopen the master to see if the edit
appears.

I think there are at least 2 ways of inserting documents into a master
document.  Is it DDE-links that operate the way required?  The other way would be to insert as a section (i think) and it's possible that is
what happened this time.  I'm not sure how to recover from that.  It
might be best to do a new master but it might be possible to edit the
xml file that is inside the Odt or DocX. The first time often takes ages but 2nd time is really fast because there are tons of decisions and
trivial issues that you had to wasde through and research first time but 2nd time around you already know what you are aiming for. 
Could you let us know which format the master document is saved in?  If
you are using Windows then it probably hides the file-ending but if you
hover the mouse over the documents icon then information about the file
should pop-up in a yellow box.  Can you see if it's Odt, Od(?), DocX or
something else?

Forwarding a post back to the list or starting a new fresh email are good ways to start a new thread.  Either way you need to copy&paste or re-type the Users List address into the "To" field.

On this list we should really be prepared to deal with cases where people
are unfamiliar with mailing-lists and help them become familiar with
things such as bottom-posting and other nuances that they may have never experienced in any other communication until now.  That is, if
LibreOffice is to be a gateway project welcoming people into OpenSource
rather than remaining a tiny niche product almost unknown and unheard of out in real offices around the world.  Just my opinion of course :slight_smile:

Good luck and regards fromTom :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:

It is not easy but as Regina said you can navigate from the downloads page if you happen to notice that "Change System, Version or Language" is a clickable link.  It's not obvious but once you have found it then it's probably the best way to remember for next time.  Other people have kindly given links directly to exactly the one you seem to need this time.

I would bookmark the following pages, I did.

This takes you to the listing of all of the versions of LO
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

<http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/>The archive page is a FTP-style listing. For Windows 3.5.7 shows RC2, but that was the release version.

This is an older style of download page that shows both line versions available. It is showing 3.5.7 and 3.6.2.
http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/
Actually it shows, in error, 3.5.6 in the "paragraph title" but has 3.5.7 as the download on that page.

I like the older style of download page for downloading many different installs and their language and help packs.
