Since moderators are unidentified, I cannot say with any certainty if it is still the case, but I have reason to believe that in years past there have been one or more moderators who were not also committers. It's not clear to me how that is/was possible, but Rob Weir advised me of this when I first became a moderator.

Using your example Cells D1:D12 formatted as numbers with zero decimal places means that only integer values are entered in those cells.

How would you use Format > cells to modify the last two digits? Go back to the issue Peter raised; "If you enter 1234 Calc will enter 12.34 in the cell". When cells are formatted as numbers with zero decimal places, typing 1234 will NEVER change the value to 12.34. The cell value will always be an integer.

I wanted to download the new update 4.1.2 but during installation download directs me to install video converter, without the possibility of refusing I finally agreed, but downloading this application crashes and installation stops. Consequently I can not install the new update due to the imposition of video converter. Best regards Philippe Roig === Is it not time to _*SERIOUSLY*_ review the distribution of our binaries via SourceForge? Rory O'Farrell and others dutifully expend their valuable time advising "unaware" users NOT to click on download links and buttons after they are redirected to the SourceForge mirror page. While commendable, this is a "shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted" approach. No matter what efforts SourceForge make to "weed out" fraudulent and malware links, our mailing lists and forums continue to receive a steady stream of download problem messages from "unaware" users. There is no way to prove this discourages individuals and organizations from using AOO software, but continuously published reports of AOO distributing "unwanted" and/or "malware" programs reflects badly on us and by association the ASF. I have no personal "gripe" against SourceForge and Roberto Galoppini's support in this area is invaluable. However, I do not understand, or find any reasonable explanation, why our download page does not redirect to the ASF's own mirror network: https://www.apache.org/mirrors/ where our binaries are already being served by 200+ mirrors around the world.

Hi Dave, Expanding a little on Alexandro's answer. 1. The "Community Support" page http://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html#community-support is linked from the home page. That page displays links to four of the main support options, each of which has advice about posting questions and/or reports about the software. 2. Assuming MS Windows, although other OS (Operating Systems - eg. Linux, Mac, Solaris, etc.) probably offer a similar function: * Minimize all open windows *_except_* the two workbooks. * Right click in a vacant area of the OS "Task Bar". * From the context (pop-up) menu that opens select "Show windows side by side". You are not subscribed to this. If you wish to reply, please post only to dev@openoffice.apache.org not to me directly. Regards Dave

I have not and as far as I can tell neither has Simon, claimed a general lack of transparency within the project and I totally reject your suggestion that I have made any "exaggerated" claims or I am touting some kind of "conspiracy theory".

The decision on that matter has been taken and as far as I am concerned it is now closed. The issue here is that in the original thread both Simon and I asked totally innocent, non-controversial questions and received answers which ranged from, the information is already there (if you know where to find it), to being accused of being on some kind of name publishing ego trip. I do not question that the ASF strives to be open and transparent, but in the area of community building the AOO project is sadly lacking.

One last attempt to clarify and resolve a trivial issue, that has become clouded in misunderstanding and mistranslated into some kind of "bike-shedding" subject. It is _NOT_ about anyone WANTING to be recognised, or having their name listed somewhere. It is _NOT_ about limiting the number of moderators and there is no need for any existing moderators to step back. There is _NO_ need to show moderators email addresses, the list owner address works perfectly well. It is _NOT_ important where the information is made available. The one and only thing I suggested is that we have a simple, easy way for any of us to check & ensure that we have adequate list moderator coverage. Maintenance of the information is trivial: 1. A new moderator is authorised and at the same time his name is added to the page. 2. An existing moderator opts-out of the responsibility and at the same time his name is removed from the page.

Nobody is forced to participate in this project by simply identifying the role they have volunteered to undertake. Your concerns are unfounded, Simon Phipps, myself and other moderators openly publish our identities and email addresses on this list and other public forums, so why would we become delicate sensitive little things about our names being published for a useful purpose. Cut to the chase: You did not answer my question about the names of the TWO moderators for our API mailing list because: 1. You don't know. 2. There is only ONE moderator for that list. 3. This information is not publicly available. My reason for persisting with this somewhat trivial issue is that "we" (those with an interest in project at large, not just Infra, the PMC, or some other "sacred inner sanctum") would not have a ready source of reference if moderation, for whatever reason, ceased. Unlikely in the case of the dev list, but a definite possibility for the API list if the one current moderator got run over by a bus. If it will alleviate your concerns, I will post to the owner of each of our public lists asking for an affirmative response to the question of publishing moderator names on the mailing list page.

Can you please give some specific examples of what you mean by "copied some features from MS Office"? I have been an OOo user since Sun (theoretically) open sourced the code and today I use/test both AOO and LO. Can you please enlighten me in what way LO is more difficult to use than AOO? I am obviously missing something, because I find them equally pleasant to use. > It's very unfortunate the distributions have adopted LO in lieu of > AOO. That's mainly because a number of the distros were already unhappy about the control Sun/Oracle held over the code. When TDF/LO was formed some of code from the (distro driven) Go-OO fork was merged into LO. This happened well before Oracle gave the OOo trademark and domain name to the ASF. > 2) Their constant AOO bashing is a real turn-off for me and I hope > others as well. I don't think I want their people in our camp. Sorry, but this is just FUD. Ignoring the Weir - Vignoli blog battle and other external sources, please give examples of "Their constant AOO bashing" on any the TDF/LO controlled sources (eg. website, mailing lists, etc.). For every instance you can sight, I can match two for one the near vitriol I have seen poured out on this list alone. In another part of this thread there is talk of "better cooperation" between the two projects. Comments such as "I don't think I want their people in our camp." only serve to further promote the silly negative "us & them" attitude. It is not a competition, because neither project is selling anything. Reality Check: Other than the occasional "defector" :)) (in both directions) you don't have to concern yourself about "their people" moving into "your camp". There is no possibility that TDF is going give up years of hard work and expense and hand LO over to the ASF, any more than there is of the ASF handing AOO over to TDF. > 3) They seem to be very proud of getting rid of Java and replacing > it with Python.

The movement to "get rid of" Java has been around even before Sun sold out to Oracle. There are developers working on AOO code today who are on record promoting the removal or reduced reliance on Java. Python is also supported by AOO. > 4) LO seems to have major QC issues.

True. Hopefully it will not be too long before the fruits of these projects are incorporated into AOO. The TDF has been closely involved with external projects working on improvements to the ODF <-> OOXML document compatibility. I don't have the details to hand right now, but IIRC the code improvements are, or will be, made available under Apache License, Version 2.0 > My advice: stay the course. Emphasize quality and dependability > over glitz. If developers are not attracted to AOO on those terms > they're not developers the project needs. Those of us in business > just need a tool to get our work done and it doesn't need to be fancy > -- just dependable. LO falls on it's face at this point. Please, please, please can we stop this childish nonsense. There is no reason why we should care, one way or the other, if LO is worse or better than AOO. Our only interests should be: 1. Making AOO as good as we can possibly make it. 2. Where possible work cooperatively with TDF and others in the interest of promoting and improving ODF. We already do this on matters of security. It is highly unlikely that AOO is going to die or disappear in the foreseeable future and the same holds true for LO. If, for whatever reason. the existence of TDF/LO upsets anyone here, I suggest they get over it and move on.

Try this: * Click inside the (header) month cell (eg. January). * From Calc's main menu select the "/Format -> Merge Cells -> Merge and Center Cells/" option. If my guess is correct, you will then have removed the "merge" and reinstated the 12 individual cells. Hope this helps. Dave

Obviously there is no point contacting "8daysaweek", because their home page makes it clear. "Tutorials for OpenOffice" is now being worked on, but there is a lot of material to be updated, so don't expect to see immediate changes. This site also handles a number of support questions every day. I am awaiting a reply from "OpenOfficeSchool". It is a shame that the ecosystem that surrounded the original OpenOffice.org project appears to be fading away. I have done some fairly thorough checking and there does not seem to be any new English sites coming on-line.

Assuming you are referring to the displayed date formats in Calc cells: * Select/highlight the cell or range of cells to be formatted. * From the menu choose "Format -> Cells..." * In the dialog (window) that opens click the "Numbers" tab. * Under the "Category" list click "Date". * Replace the entry under "Format code" with .MM.DD * Click the tick/check mark (Add) button & click OK. The default format that Calc uses internally cannot be changed and will always appear that way in the "Formula Bar".

Just to further clarify Rory's reply. It is not the program itself which came under spam attack, it was the Wiki area of the project's web services. The attack has now been thwarted by an excellent team of hardworking volunteers. Please post back to this list or the user support list us...@openoffice.apache.org with the information Rory suggested for assistance in resolving the issues you are experiencing.
