object linking is when it leaves an icon in the document. when you click the icon, the respective program loads.

object embedding is when that specific program itself is embedded (or inserted) within the document itself. see the attached pic. thats Excel embedded inside the word document.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that... can you clarify?

Is this what you want? (see attachment). If so, get it by doing this:

select data cells > click Chart Wizard > (select type) > Next > Series in: Columns, instead of Rows.

nope, that is not it,......

the first column of table is the ID of each student, starting from the second column are the grades for test and homeworks....so basically, it is like a gradebook.....what i gotta do is ilustrate it with a graph using excel...

the ID tag should be treated like names of student not numbers like the one on your graph, the graph should illsutrate the grade (1-100) of each student for every work done........

thanks anyways for trying...i appreciated it......^^ i know this is very complicated cuz i just cannot get so many things on a single graph......

I'm not sure exactly how to do it, but you can force the student IDs to be treated names by putting a # infront of them (not sure if you're allowed to do this or not). I couldn't get the IDs on the far left (y axis), though. See attachment.

For example, the ID column would look like this:

#880514

#880516

#880535

#880719

#880732

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues by David Uzondu Euro-Office is a web-based collaborative office suite that positions itself as a "European sovereign alternative" to American tech companies, backed by a coalition of developers including Nextcloud, IONOS, Abilian, BTactic, OpenProject, and, more recently, Tuta. The project officially went live a couple of days ago, but not before drawing heavy fire from LibreOffice developers, who called the marketing claim that Euro-Office represents the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe" a deceptive historical inaccuracy because projects like OpenOffice and LibreOffice existed decades earlier. Now that the project has launched, LibreOffice is back with another complaint, arguing that Euro-Office cannot consider itself "genuinely European" while it pushes proprietary Microsoft defaults on users. Euro-Office had promised to improve the OpenDocument Format (ODF) back in April, but the current release still plagues users with several technical failures. For instance, the suite lacks an admin setting to enforce ODF, and mobile editors completely block ODF saves, forcing files into Microsoft's OOXML formats. Some configurations force files into read-only mode, while editing frequently corrupts document formatting or erases data. LibreOffice thinks that merely supporting a format as an afterthought does not make you a sovereign alternative, as file formats are the battleground where" digital sovereignty is won or lost." The road to the first stable release of Euro-Office has been quite bumpy due to an aggressive public fallout with OnlyOffice, from which the coalition originally forked the project. OnlyOffice struck back by accusing the coalition of violating copyright terms under its AGPLv3 branding requirements by stripping the original branding anyway and forking the code. Getting Euro-Office up and running is a bit wonky (at least for non-technical users), as there is no direct installer to grab off the web. The easiest way we learnt is by using Docker. First, pull the official Euro-Office image from the GitHub Container Registry: docker pull ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest Then, run the container with active ports and a secure JWT token, enabling the test environment: docker run -i -t -d -p 8080:80 --restart=always -e EXAMPLE_ENABLED=true -e JWT_SECRET=my_secure_jwt_secret ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest And finally, open a web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8080 If you are running this on a remote server, replace localhost with your server's IP address. You will see the Euro-Office test page, where you can create new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations directly in the browser. Image via Euro-Office Nextcloud promises that proper standalone desktop versions and mobile apps will arrive in a future release.
