Making a simple form in LibreOffice Base to do the equivalent of a minimal Google Form, but local instead of sending the data to Google.

Here's where I'm stuck: How do I rig up a button that saves the current record *and* starts a new one? Do I have to write a macro for this?

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

A few years ago, I was laughing at people who tried to run LibreOffice on their phones. Today, I'm doing the same foolish thing — and it works! I'll be giving a presentation about mobile Linux, from mobile Linux.

It looks like #libreoffice #impress does not react to the forward and back buttons on my mouse at all. Would be very handy to be able to use that as a presenter though. Is there any way I can set this up easily? (And maybe a bug report to make it happen by default?)

@libreoffice is that broken just for me or a missing feature in general?

Markdown support is coming to #LibreOffice! And a new dialog to edit table styles, Python and BASIC code auto-completion, Rust UNO language bindings, and more - all thanks to participants in the Google Summer of Code: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10/22/libreoffice-and-google-summer-of-code-2025-the-results/ #foss #OpenSource

Ouch. I was really happy to discover LibreOffice Impress Remote app for iOS - but the last update was in 2014 and it doesn't run on current iOS :(

Not reflected in the current docs it seems, ping @libreoffice

Any iOS developers with spare time wanting to get it up to speed? :)

@libreoffice So I'm using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 on Fedora Workstation 43 GNOME 49.
For some privacy reasons I'll not be able to attach the entire PDF. However, I can show the page 15 that I was trying to open using LibreOffice Draw in image form.

It contains a combination of Bengali & English language and numerals.

EDIT : This previous issue of mine is still not fixed yet -> https://mastodon.social/@javalps/115348440708206097

When can I expect the new version?

#collaboraoffice is excellent free alternative to Googles collaborative office technology, its based on Libre Office technology, #collabora is the largest contributor to #libreoffice and does a lot of other good for #freesoftware . You can install it super easy if you have a #nextcloud instance, or if you use a nice cloud host, or for no charge if you want to learn some systems administration and use your own hardware.
