CS 281 – Downloading and Installing Libreoffice Base We Are Going To CS 281 – Downloading and Installing LibreOffice Base We are going to use LibreOffice Base in the labs and for the project. This guide explains the installation process of LibreOffice Base for Windows Operating System; however, the steps are also applicable to other operating systems such as Linux and MacOS. LibreOffice Base requires JDK to function, we also cover the installation process of Oracle JDK in this document, starting from Step 21. 1. Go to the website of LibreOffice using the following link: https://www.libreoffice.org/ 2. Click on “Download” tab and select “Download LibreOffice”. 3. We are going to use version 6.4.6 (Long-Term Support), choose your operating system and click on “Download”. 4. When the download is complete, run the installer, and click on “Next”. (Note that the installer will use the system language, therefore screenshots are in Turkish.) 5. We are going to use the English version of LibreOffice. If your operating system’s language is already in English you may continue with “Typical” setup. Otherwise, choose “Custom” (“Özel”) setup and then click on “Next”. 6. Expand the second item to list the available languages. 7. Find English and click on the button next to it. 8. Choose the first option on the pop-up menu to enable it. 9. Find your operating system’s language (in the case, Turkish), and click on the button next to it. 10. Choose the last option on the pop-up menu to disable it. 11. Click on “Next” to continue. 12. In this window you associate different file type to LibreOffice. You may clear all the checkboxes if you are not going to use other LibreOffice products, then click on “Next”. 13. In this window you may allow to create a desktop shortcut, then click on “Next”. 14. During the installation the system may ask for additional permission, allow them. After the installation, click on “Finish”. 15. Now LibreOffice is installed on your system. You may use the shortcut of LibreOffice Base on your start menu, or use the search option on the start menu and type “base” to find the shortcut. Run LibreOffice Base using the shortcut. We are going to check whether the JDK is functional or not, if you know that JDK is not installed you may go to Step 21. 16. Click on “Next” to create a database with the default settings. 17. Click on “Finish” to proceed. 18. Choose a folder and a write a file name, then click on “Save”. 19. LibreOffice Base will load the new database file, if you do not get any error messages then you are done with the installation and you do not need to continue with the following steps. However, if you get an error message with the title “JRE Required”, this means you need to install JDK following the remaining steps. Although the message indicates JRE, we need JDK for all the features. Click on “OK” to close the message. 20. Click on “OK”, and then close “LibreOffice Base”. If LibreOffice Base is still running, you may get errors during JDK installation. 21. Go to the website of Oracle JDK using the following link: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html 22. Click on “JDK Download” for the latest release of Java SE. 23. Find the version that is compatible with your operating system and click on the download link for that version. 24. Accept the agreement and download the installation file for JDK. 25. Click on “Next”. 26. Use the default folder for installation, click on “Next”. 27. After the installation is complete click on “Close”. 28. Now run LibreOffice Base again. 29. This time let’s choose “Open an existing database file”, assuming you saved your database in Step 18. Otherwise, you may also create a new one following Steps 16-18. Then click on “Finish”. 30. If there are no error messages we are done. For some systems, setting JDK may require additional steps, in this case please refer to the following link: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/201635/libreoffice-requires-oracles-jdk-on-mac-os-x/ .

  • 7 Mail Merge and Related Operations
    ESSENTIAL LibreOffice: Tutorials for Teachers Copyright © Bernard John Poole, 2019. All rights reserved MAIL MERGE AND RELATED OPERATIONS 7 Form letters and mailing labels LEARNING OUTCOMES LibreOffice is an integrated suite of programs. This means that the different components of the Office software—Writer, Base, Calc, and Impress, for example—are all part of the same system. As a result, you can easily switch from one component to another, cut and paste data between documents and, above all, use a common set of tools with each of the applications. The steps required to edit, copy, arrange, print, format, cut and paste, and so forth, are more or less the same, whether you are in the word processor, drawing, database, spreadsheet or presentation components of LibreOffice. In Lesson 6 you were introduced to the LibreOffice Base database. In Lesson 7 you are going to apply what you have learned about databases to the task of creating form letters and mailing labels. The process is called Mail Merge and it is an important word processing skill with which every teacher should be familiar. You can merge data from a database into different types of LibreOffice documents to produce any number of versions of a standard document tailored to address individual recipients. This is especially useful when creating form letters, which are another type of template or stationery document. But you can also merge data into a spreadsheet (such as an invoice or other accounting document) or into a drawing document. You can create mailing labels, or any document that requires fill-in-the-blanks data.

E-mail: [email protected] Businesses that restrict themselves to proprietary software like Microsoft Offce get a raw deal. Not only do they have to pay for the software but they have to factor in the cost incurred every time the software becomes corrupt. This includes the fee to be paid to the computer technician to re-install the software. All this creates a vicious cycle, where costs and delays keep mounting. It should be the primary aim of every business to develop a system that automates maintenance to the maximum possible extent. This is where open source software like LibreOffce, Apache OpenOffce, Scribus, GIMP, Inkscape, Firefox, Thunderbird,WordPress, VLC media player, etc, come in. My company, MultiSpectra Consultants, uses open source software to the maximum possible extent, thereby streamlining business processes. It makes updating the software and its maintenance very easy. The required software can be freely downloaded from the Internet and updates can also be applied by simply downloading the latest version of the relevant software. With free and open source software (FOSS) anyone is freely licensed to use, copy, study and change the software in any way, and the source code is openly shared so that people are encouraged to voluntarily improve the design of the software.
