I battled this issue for the longest time. The bottom line is that you can get powerpoint to run in wine - at least I could get ppt 2002 working OK. THe equation editor would work fine - it would...

Just checked out Softmaker...
Didn't get too far though..I found this..


Thats a deal killer for me.

Hi - I am in the market (USA) for a fast laptop for my work. I'll be running ubuntu on it of course. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I do a fair amount of statistical work on it....

I'll have to do some work on this - I can view the plugins, but it is not clear at all how to change them in chrome.

I did however install "Chromium" and it works great in that. All very...

That worked - partly. It plays fine now in firefox, but not in Chrome. I am pretty sure that it is because Chrome is not using the right plugin. I wonder how I can get chrome to use gecko to open...

Hi, I created some screencasts - both avi and mpeg4 and put them on a class website for my students. I was able to view them on my desktop without any issues.

Now when I go to the website, I get...

Yeah - that worked great.

Thanks!

I created an mpeg4 screencast using Xvidcap. I could play the file on my Ubuntu laptop so I must have the right codecs etc.

I then uploaded it to my class website (I am a professor). Now when I...

I want to create a screen cast for my students.
What is a simple tool out there?

Many thanks

Yes, I have installed that font set. My point, perhaps not clear in the original post, is that LO is seeing other fonts in that package but not those that include the font dressing in the title of...

I've been using LO but when I read a word doc with the font "Times New Roman Bold" LO substitutes arial font instead.

I know that I have times new roman bold on my computer it is here.

Hi, just for fun I installed unity on my laptop. I'm running 10.10.

While it is slick I was a little frustrated that I couldn't see how to customize it much. For example, all my wine...

OK - I think I figured it out - I had opened the equation in word and resized it. The act of resizing it must have messed up the proportions when it was reopened in impress.

I'm creating some simple formulas in Impress in libreoffice. The same problem occured in open office i think.

Basically I create a formula how I like it and then I save the file, reopen it and...

Thanks! That did it.

I have 2 hard disks. Disk 1 has my home folder on it, disk two has my data and dropbox folder.

I'd like to create a symbolic link in the home folder to the dropbox folder. I was trying this:

Sorry for the endless comments on Nevernote, but I have another question.

When I sync - for example after I reinstalled, my whole computer becomes almost unusable. I'm using a Dell T1500...

I didn't see anything in the terminal - I forgot to run it from there. Anyhow, I deleted the offending note, but it sort of got really bogged down. I was worried that some of my online notes might...

Here is the output from the syncrunner log. I actually rebooted the computer and restarted Nevernote and still had the same error.

What does it mean when I get the error:


It appears that the synchronization thread has died..


I close nevernote and restart, but i still get the error. Is there some other action I could...

Thanks for all your hard work!! I know all the evernote linux users really appreciate it!

OK - that worked. In the web app it was displaying courier, but I still went and reformatted it in courier and then it showed up with the correct font in Nevernote.


Another question - does...

Still really liking nevernote!

Quick question - when I view a note on the web, I have it formatted in courier font - as the note needs to be in a fixed width font to make sense. But in nevernote,...

Another way to get pdfs into evernote is to open the evernote web page in chrome and drag the pdfs on to the notebook you want.

OK, cut and paste works great. I really like the little nav arrows that allow you to read the pdf in line. Very nice.

I'm an academic, so I have loads of pdf articles collected for various...
