I can reproduce this in OOo Calc 2.2.1, though I belive it is a locale problem.

W2k SP4 en US-locale
OOo Calc 2.2.1 en US-locale

After Copy/Paste of the dates mentioned above, the first 2 strings are imported
as a(n) (invalid) number (=> therefore text display), while the rest is imported
as a date. See attached image.

This is probably due to my US-English locale, where 28/04/1948 is NOT a valid 
date.

What locale is your OS? And what locale is your OOo?

This issue could be related to issue

(to the statistics functions in the said document), OOo Writer will continuously
repaginate and therefore jump to a different page.

I am trying to read and correct the OpenFormula document (see OASIS site,
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=office-formula).

Unfortunately, Writer *repaginates* every 20-30s, and the number of pages
fluctuates continuously between 300-500 pages, rendering any work impossible.

Please note, that even after > 2 hours, Writer still repaginates (I think it
repaginates, because the number of pages continues to change). So, after some
20-30 s, it jumps to a different page (total number of pages displayed changes,
too).

This makes working on larger documents impossible.

My system:
W2k SP4 with 1.2 GB RAM
SCSI HDs
OOo 2.2.1

There really shouldn't be any memory problems (more than 800 MB physical RAM is
free).

Great!

Everything feels correct and stable!

My initial algorithm for RSQ() was unnecessary complex (as it was based on the
official OASIS document specification). BUT RSQ() is really the square of the
Pearson coefficient, so this approach is the correct one!

discoleo -> regina
Congratulations for the fine patch!

Well, this issue is really about mouse travel distance. Please also see issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=19557 for a similar feature
request/problem.

I strongly favour *very short* menu entries.

IF such short menus cannot be made, then:
 - implement a method in which when clicking on the submenu-name, the submenu
opens and the mouse is positioned on an item of the submenu (instead of
displaying the submenu AND having to travel with the mouse inside the submenu)
 - draw the submenus (when they open) NOT close to the menu-bar. This minimizes
the risk that the mouse inadvertently slips to the next menu group
 - maybe some other breakthrough GUI technology

The image shows the correct drawing after PASTE inside the writer document. When
saving everything is still OK. The *preview* in Windows Explorer shows the
correct drawing (see this on the TestCase attached).

However, after reopening the writer document, the drawing is changed [simply
open the .odt file and you will see the modified version; saving now the
document will overwrite the original with the modified version]. So I presume
that the open routine is broken.

Please have a look/close duplicate.

As already posted for that issue, dimensions seem *to be saved correctly*. They
are just NOT loaded correctly when opening the file again (input routine 
problem?).

It is displayed correctly on my PC.

I checked it with OOo 2.2.1 (en) on W2k SP4 (en-Version).

Font is Wingdings.

You should probably verify, that Wingdings is indeed installed on your machine.
IF this is the case, probably verifying that the font is correct (i.e. it is NOT
a bad font file), seems reasonable.

What locales are your OOo and Windows installations?

Well, BUT "i" => "I" is needed in EVERY English document, while the usecase for
"i.", "ii.", ... is much more rare.

I definitely think that this issue MUST be fixed, but NOT by removing the
previous issue.

Maybe ADD on the menu-bar (of English OOo) a button to toggle this behaviour 
on/off?

The 2nd spreadsheet contains the calculations using a stable algorithm. You can
test this algorithm for RSQ() and see how it behaves comparatively to the
default implementation of RSQ().

Basically, the algorithm goes like this:
 1.) N*sum(Xi^2) - (sum(Xi))^2 is replaced by:
 N * sum(Xi - Xm)^2, where Xm = the MEAN of X
 the N will cancel later, so I did NOT multiply with N

 2.) N*sum(Xi*Yi) - (sum(Xi))*(sum(Yi)) is equivalent to:
 N*sum[(Xi-Xm)*(Yi-Ym)]

 3.) dividing the previous 2 quantities and canceling N gives:
 b = sum[(Xi-Xm)*(Yi-Ym)]/sum(Xi-Xm)^2

 4.) Ycalc-i = a + b * Xi
 adding every Ycalc gives:
 sum(Yc-i) = sum(a) + b*sum(Xi)
 however sum(Yc-i) = sum(Yi) = N*Ym, therefore
 N*Ym = N*a + N*b*Xm => canceling N
 Ym = a + b * Xm =>
 a = Ym - b * Xm
 [I actually could mathematically show that *this is indeed TRUE*.]

 5.) and final step, calculating R^2
 first calculate:
 Yfirst  = Yi - Ym
 Ysecond = Yi - Ycalc, then
 Yfirst - Ysecond, and
 Yfirst + Ysecond
 and finally:
 R^2 = (Yf - Ys)*(Yf + Ys)/((Yi - Ym)^2

As you can see, this algorithm works even for the very difficult test case I
provided.

As these functions have been (obviously) fixed in recent versions of MS Office
(I do NOT have access to those versions), I consider this:
 - a priority 2 issue
 - should be definitely fixed until OOo2.3 (preferably even faster, OOo2.2.1 ?)
 - at least a partial improvement

Please note, with X = 90992, both RSQ() and CORREL() return 0!!!
Actual values should be close to 1, respectively to -1. So, this value of '0' is
plausible (aka possible), BUT definitely very wrong. There are many similar
examples.

Here another two obviously wrong examples, though the two x-values are almost
identical, and yet the difference is extreme:
XRSQ()  CORREL()
91000.1149   196Err:503
91000.1150  -192Err:503

As pointed out, RSQ() can give only values between 0 AND +1. So, both values are
wrong, and CORREL() fails altogether to compute.

You can change the values of 'X' in the Test-Case from 900,000,000 to other
values to see how *erratically* the various functions change.

Especially interesting values for 'X' are:
 909,999,999.96
 909,999,999.99
 909,999,999.992
 909,999,999.996
 909,999,992

BUT you can indeed try every x.990 trough x.999. The results are really 
challenging.

UNSTABLE COMPUTER ALGORITHMS USED

A. ERROR

Various functions are affected, including:
   CORREL()-series
   RSQ(), and
   STEYX()

As already pointed out on the dev-calc mailing list and the OASIS mailing list,
various functions use an unstable algorithm:
 algorithms based on [n*sum(x[i]2) - sum(x[i])2] are inherently unstable

I will attach a test-case, where:
   CORREL() computes an impossible value of -1.69
   RSQ() computes an impossible value of 2.29, and
   STEYX() gives a '#VALUE!' ERROR

Please note, that in these instances, through the mathematically impossible
values, we are hinted that the calculation went very wrong. However, even
*PLAUSIBLE* values can be completely erroneous!!! [And one has NOT the feedback
that something went wrong!]

Therefore I put a P2 priority.

A. SOLUTION

Use stable algorithms (as discussed on the lists).

Classically, a two-pass algorithm will be stable, BUT there would be a time
penalty (especially for RSQ(), where we need 3 passes!).

Implement a fast version of the functions, like RSQFAST(), CORRELFAST(), ...,
that use a fast and reliable (therefore more stable) *one-pass* algorithm.

C. TEST CASE ATTACHED

Various internet sites and web applications are using special highlighting for
tables, making reading the information significantly more easier.

Features:
 - alternating rows have slightly different backgrounds (2 types of gray)
 - row which has the focus is highlighted automatically using a 3rd color

For some examples, see attached image (taken from phpMyAdmin, see on
sourceforge.net), and various other sites, e.g. a very nice one on Mozilla
(https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/reports/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/3.0a5pre).

This is something that really improves readability. Spreadsheet applications are
really lagging behind with respect to user friendliness.

Can confirm it on OOo 2.2 W2k SP4.

Indeed, gluepoints are drawn incorrectly. (see previously attached picture)

As a side note, searching for help on 'gluepoint' or 'gluepoints' in the OOo
Draw help, does NOT retrieve any results. searching for 'glue point' retrieves
an entry 'Gluepoints bar'. (Is this a windows issue?)

Although the help does not state clearly how gluepoints are set, the way it is
done is surely wrong.

Well, I know from my own experience that date input is a pain in the ass. I
therefore support any modifications that enhance this.

> If date formatting was turned off by default, and you would have to choose
> a date format for the cell/range of cells, before date information is inputed,
> that would save some confusing I think.

Indeed, I would like to have the option to turn automatic date recognition off.
I often write both in Romanian, German and English, in various system locales,
so the input gets almost always messed up.

Even more troublesome is the date pattern, i.e. DD.MM.YY vs MM.DD.YY. I never
use the MM.DD.YY, but OOo insists on this (because I have installed the English
version, to avoid various other localisation problems).

I would welcome a general setting, where one could opt for a standard date
format, overriding system defaults and the like. Also, there should be an option
to set the output format, IF COPY/PASTE or exporting to CVS files (or other
formats).

In summary, the 'date' needs some real cleanup. Building some sensible
formatting options seems a good start.

One feature that I really miss are histograms (this is dealt in issue 49971, see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=49971).

An extension to the previous issue are overlapping histograms. These are
especially helpful when studying multiple groups of data. One application field
is in data mining. [Please note that data mining is extensively used by big
corporations.]

Overlapping histograms should allow *colour overlaying* to preserve visibility.
This is best viewed in the following example:
http://rapid-i.com/images/stories/rapidi/yale/screenshots/screenshot14.gif (see
also the other examples on the site for various data-mining techniques).

It would be surely useful to have the ability:
  - to plot multiple histograms (or other charts simultaneously) AND
  - have the ability to set various colour overlaying modes
 - add, XOR, ...
 - transparency, ...
 - IF ( overlap ) THEN slight shifting

For other types of simultaneous plots, see also:
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=136 and various
other examples on http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/ .

Crashing is definitely a BUG.

However, what wonders me is that when I select everything (ctrl + A), Calc would
select only the range A1:Y68 on an empty sheet, yet when I paste, it tries to
paste well beyond this range. Actually, the range gets incremented over and over
again. What is the limit?

What should this "maximum range" be?

I would opt for something like:
1.) either A1:Y68 as currently (or some other small value)
2.) in case of a non-empty cell: up to the last row/column that is non-empty
3.) open dialog box and ask user how many rows/columns should be filled

I would strongly prefer options 2 and 3.

Nice thing to see at least a workaround.

I append some language specific diacritics here, as I believe that it makes more
sense to define them based on the language to use and the available keyboard to
write (then have a big list with all the possibilities).

See also http://www.umich.edu/~langres/diacritics/french.html for
language-specific common diacritics.

Characters suitable for replacement on an English keyboard:
one keystroke (these are preferred): ` ' / \
two keystrokes (shift + ...): ~ : < >
rather difficult to type: ^


German characters

A   Ää
O   Öö
U   Üü
s   ß

Romanian characters

A   ĂăÂâ
I   Îî
S   Şş
T   Ţţ

French characters

A   ÀàÂâÄä
C   Çç
E   ÈèÉéÊê
I   ÎîÏï
O   ÔôÖö
U   ÙùÛû
...

By the way:
# Is there any other word using 'ç', except for 'françai...'?
# Is there any other word using 'ù' except for 'où'?
...

Of course, most European languages use diacritics, so this list could be
enhanced. (See also previous web-address for Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and
Swedish.) Hungarian and Slavic languages are missing.

discoleo -> redi2go

This issue is about extending *autocorrect*, so, my point is still valid.

While autocorrect may have sometimes undesired efects, there are situations
where I definitely prefer the autocorrect feature: e.g. when I am writing text
in 2+ languages with different types of accents, where ANY logical
key-combination is insufficient to write ALL special characters. [I do write
such texts on a regular basis.]

Indeed, IF I do NOT write in English (think of all Latin-languages, Slavik ones,
and so on), you won't encounter the  issue, so "a'" would be almost
always a valid replacement (just NOT in English).

This is probably NOT valid CSV.

The ERROR is probably invalid.

For details about the CSV-format, see e.g.
http://www.creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/CSV/CSV01.htm#EmbedBRs (actually the
wgole document is interesting).

1.) Fields that contain double quote characters must be surounded by 
double-quotes
AND
the embedded double-quotes MUST each be represented by a pair of consecutive
double quotes
  - this csv-file contains lots of fields like the following one:
 ...;"some text"> more text"even more text";...
those inner quotes are probably invalid

2.) Fields that contains embedded line-breaks must be surounded by double-quotes
  - this csv-file contains many lines that contain an ODD number of quotes,
therefore, the filed DOES NOT end on that line, but would extend on the next
line
until an ending quote is reached!!!
see e.g. line 184 in the original csv-file:
- it contains 21 quotes

I will append a simple gawk-script that can be used to detect lines with an
ODD-number of quotes, therefore these are probably INVALID CSV-Files (IF one
line is supposed to be equivalent to ONE record)!

A more powerful approach to this issue is described in issue 67500. Indeed, such
an *autoreplace* is a powerful way to automate various writing tasks.

As described here (and in the issue 67500), the replacement list handles only
full words, therefore this needs a workaround/ fix/ enhancement.

A very useful consequence of this feature would be to solve (in one way) issue
4579. Suppose we add this to the replacement list:
"a'" => "ä"
Then "Gra'sser" becomes automatically "Grässer", NO need for special shortcuts.

Of course, a complete solution would involve both this feature AND the shortcut
version, BUT until shortcuts are implemented, this would be fine (and this would
be useful even IF shortcuts were later implemented).

How should this be implemented?
1. fast way: implement a second replacement list,
   where any occurrence of the specified combination
   would be replaced by the new string
2. more powerful: implement wildcards, as suggested for issue 67500

I discussed in issue 75493 (now closed) a method to enhance the printing /
exporting to pdf of various spreadsheet documents.

I will add those comments to this issue and also expand on some other related
features.

1. SUPPRESS TRAILING EMPTY PAGES
2. TYPES OF EMPTY PAGES
3. IMPLEMENTATION


1. TRAILING EMPTY PAGES
===
When printing / exporting as pdf, I would like to suppress trailing empty pages.

Trailing empty pages are empty pages at the *END of the document*, so they are
almost always annoying. Please note, that this issue is *NOT trivial*.

Unfortunately, when I export dozens of pages, I select to have the *page number*
and the *total number of pages* in the footer. The total number
of pages will count these empty pages, too. Therefore, even IF I manually select
which pages to export to pdf, the *total number of pages* will include these
empty pages. The workaround *define the print range* is really tedious for
anything having more than just a few pages.

IF this is an official document, then the total number of pages will point to
non-existent pages, which will make Calc pretty useless in official settings.
[Documents from governmental sources ALWAYS contain the total number of pages
explicitly stated, so that, whatever page is available, the reader knows how
many pages the document should have.]

A checkbox with *Strip trailing empty pages* seems a really fine solution [this
is NOT equivalent to 'Strip ALL empty pages'].

2. EMPTY PAGES
==
There are a number of types of empty pages:

a.) There are pages that are completely empty, NO hidden cell content, NO EMPTY
cells, NO formulas (evaluating to nothing), NO formatting, nothing.
 - e.g. when the text of row 1 extends beyond the width of one page,
 - YET rows 2- do NOT extend beyond the width of a page
 => row 1 will occupy page 1 and page n
 => rows 2-xxx pring on pages 1 through n-1
 => pages n+1 to 2*(n-1) will be completely empty
(just annoying footer and header)

b.) Pages that contain formulas that evaluate to empty.
 - NO visible elements
 - yet cells are NOT empty (contain formulas OR references that evaluate to 
empty)

c.) Pages that contain graphical formatting, yet contain NO other data.
 - e.g. contain various table borders set
   BUT NO elements [and neither images/charts]

These are 3 common types of empty pages which should be possible to suppress
*selectively*. [By combining the latter 2 varieties, a number of other
possibilities arise.]

3. IMPLEMENTATION
=
This could be implemented in the following way: when Calc generates the page, it
should set for every page the following properties:
 a.) does the page display any data (including charts)?
 b.) does the page display any graphical elements?
 [excluding proper/printable data]
 c.) does the page contain other elements (e.g. formulas)?

SET GLOBALLY:
 d.) store last NON-EMPTY page
 IF a page contains (a.) then any previous EMPTY pages are NOT trailing
pages; ANY page up to 'last NON-EMPTY page' is NOT a trailing empty page

It would be really helpful to extend Calc to support all these features.

> In statistics, there is no use to display only one set of values.
> The point is to compare several sets of data to visualize
> the distribution graphically.

Usually, we want to create some confidence interval (CI). The 95% CI is the most
useful one. So creating 2 horizontal lines that delimit the 95% CI is the better
approach.

Of course, we could add a parameter to specify the size of the CI. Selecting 68%
will generate the (-1 SD; +1 SD) interval that is so accustomed in the
literature (the "error bars"), though dedicated statistician rarely use it.

The http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=65 graphics
display a very complex confidence interval. Of course, in our example, the lines
delimiting the 95% CI would be horizontal (differing from the very complex lines
in the previous graph).

AND, because there are really lines drawn that look like grid lines, you could
more easyly compare the distribution of the individual values. See my attached
graphic. That's how I imagine it.

In my opinion, both OOo and Excel perform a poor job here.

Of course, in the given example, Excel is slightly better, BUT I would
personally prefer the following method:
 - IF all the data points of ONLY one group of data are displayed
   (i.e. there is only one mean and one SD)
 - then allow user to select the confidence interval he wants
   e.g. CI95% (+/- 2 SD), (or 68% aka +/- 1 SD)
 - and draw the corresponding horizontal lines

[Confidence intervals could be calculated using more robust methods, like
bootstrapping sometime in the future.]

This would look something like:
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=65 (well, NOT
quite; it would look much more simple, with only 2 horizontal lines and a number
of bars).

Well, I probably missed the point.

However, IF you only want to have a pseudo-csv output (with that additional
text), that is quite easy to obtain.

1. export everything you want as usual (as a csv text file with strings enclosed
by "'")
2. install awk/gawk (on Unix already available, on Windows, go to
http://www.sourceforge.net, search for the project Gnuwin32 -> it is free)
3. run the following gawk script
3.1. write this text into a new text file, e.g. "my.gawk.script.txt"
{
   tmp = "insert into languages ('639-1','639-2T','639-2B','639-3','Name')"
   tmp = tmp " values ("
   tmp = tmp $0 ");"
   print tmp > "my.new.modified.csv"
}
3.2. open the console window
3.3. type into the console: gawk -f"my.gawk.script.txt" "my.original.csv"
4. "my.new.modified.csv" will be the new, modified csv file

That's it.

ANOVA method.

The Calc-ANOVA-No_ARRAY.cpp impelements the Calc functions that calculate the
ANOVA. There are still some things to be done (like FDIST() to be called), but
most of the code should be functional.

The ANOVA.Test.Code.cpp contains the ANOVA code embedded in a testing framework,
so that one can test code changes, without having to bother about OOo. It can be
compiled with MS VC6.0, though I have NO idea, if other compilers (especially
newer ones) would still compile it.

I submitted an issue about SQL integration into the OOo Calc component. For a
more extended discussion, see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66588.

Although I do NOT know IF that one would help you, I nevertheless encourage you
to take a look.

Basically, that issue is about issuing SQL statements inside Calc on Calc
Tables. I have NOT discussed the INSERT statement, because that gets slightly
more complicated.

Nevertheless, that could be extended sometime in the future (well, even the
SELECT is NOT yet implemented in Calc).

This is a summary of Calc functions, including return value, parameters and
source code module where they are defined.

I decided to do this, because I did NOT find any useful information on many
aspects of OOo code. Before the community can more effectively start working on
the code, it is necessary to have a good documentation on this code, data types
and functions. I miss this very much.

As my time is very limited, I have NO time to struggle to find the information I
am looking for. So this should be a central place where to find this
information. Creating a new wiki page seems an alternative solution.

The file "OOo.Calc.Fx.Names.ods" contains a table with all Calc functions
defined in the files 'interpr1.cxx' through 'interpr6.cxx'. In the second table
I have selected some of the functions that seem more relevant (this is NOT a
full list).

I have used a gawk script to scan the source files and retrieve this information
(see attached OOo.Calc.Fx.Names.awk file for the script).

Beyond this basic information, every function should be thoroughly documented.
Some functions are self explanatory, but many are NOT. So, some help is needed
to accomplish this task.

Also, there are many *data types* that are used inside the code and which are
not documented. Please consider contributing, IF you have some spare time and
the necessary knowledge.

Create a numbered list, e.g.:

'The LIST starts after this' <= COPY UP TO HERE
1. something
2. something: <= COPY FROM HERE UP TO (see above)

'Creating a new LIST through COPY/PASTE' <= PASTE HERE

=> RESULTS:
'Creating a new LIST through COPY/PASTE'
3. something
second something <= ERROR: is NOT a list element

See attached odt document for the example.

NOW, delete both 'second something' and '3. something', and write instead:
1. here should start a new list <= PRESS ENTER AFTER THIS

RESULTS:
 'here should start a new list'
 1. <= THIS IS EMPTY and the text is above, without NUMBERING

This issue depends on issue 76156 (Counting the number of substrings within a
string).

I have attached a C++ code for that issue, unfortunately that code does NOT
cover regular expressions.

For the full implementation of this issue, I will first need to add that
functionality to the above mentioned issue, though I fear that I do NOT really
understand how the REGEXP search is implemented and there is NO good
documentation for it (see my comments to that issue).

When that is done, I will return to this issue.

Somebody please add that this issue depends on issue 76156.

1. I just wanted to add a real life example.

My primary work involves auditing the whole medical activity taking place in a
big county. One frequent task is to count the number of different diagnoses for
individual patients.

The string looks like this: "B18.1; G20; I20.9; I12.9". These tokens represent
individual ICD10-coded diagnoses. So, I would like to count how many diagnoses
are there (i.e. FindCount(";",'the_string') + 1).

2. I found the code for *REGEXP* searches inside the ScInterpreter::ScSearch()
function. Unfortunately, I do NOT understand much of it and I fear that there is
NO good documentation on it.

I will try to implement a ScSearchCount() function later, just by cloning the
ScSearch() function.

Unfortunately, Calc lacks even basic support for string functions (see my other
issues on strings, like issue 66590). This makes the program unsuitable for any
work that relies heavily on strings.

One of the functionalities that I am missing is a function that counts the
number of occurrences of a substring within a given string.

Lets say, we have the string: "ab cd ab de", and we want to count how often "ab"
occurs inside this string.

I have included in the attached file the C++ code for a new function,
ScInterpreter::ScFindCount(), that performs this task.

This function counts the number of occurences of a given string within another
string
//   - IF string is NOT found, it returns 0 
//   - otherwise it returns the number of occurences of the substring
//   - parameters:
// 1. string: this is the search item
// 2. string: this will be searched for the first string
// 3. is overalpping of search results allowed:
//- default: FALSE (NO)
// 4. START position: default = begining of string (=1)
// 5. END position: default = LEN(string)

I noticed now, that the function will probably NOT recognise wildcards, so I
will look forward to correct that. I hope that such a function will make it in
the OpenFormula specification, too.

The patch implements a more advanced FIND() function with the following
characteristics:

DESCRIPTION
 - string starts at position 1
 - ends at =LEN(string)

1. IF string is NOT found, it returns 0 instead of an ERROR, therefore greatly
simplifying complex operations with strings!

2. one can explicitly specify the START position within the string
   - IF START < 1, it automatically sets the START = 1

3. one can explicitly specify the END position within the string
   - IF END > LEN(string), it automatically sets END = LEN(string)

4. IF( START > END), it returns 0

By defining a START and END position, searching inside strings is greatly
simplified. There is NO need to first compute a substring; rather it is possible
to specify the substring directly inside the FindEx() function.

I believe that {=SUM(A1:A200="S")*1} or =ISNUMBER(FIND("S";A1) are NOT a real
solution. They will hardly allow a more complex search.

That said, in what module is COUNTIF() defined?

It would be easy to implement a case-sensitive COUNTIFC(), so NO
Excel-compatibility problem.

There is another important fact to consider when dealing with languages.

Although I speak fluently 4 languages (and some others less fluently), when I
write a document, I use at most 3 different languages. I believe, that users
that will use more than 4 languages simultaneously are the absolute exception.

Therefore, I propose to add an option to define "Used Languages" in a document.
This will facilitate:
 - automatic language detection (see also my comments for issue 1035)
 - possibility to easily and rapidly switch between a very limited number of
languages, instead of having to choose between a list of hundred languages
 ( - also, less crowded menu/status bar, IF only 2-3 languages will be
displayed/listed)

> Just define the print range.

Thanks for the hint. Indeed, it is possible to solve the problem, though I
needed some 3-4 minutes to select the relevant pages for the test document (only
3 pages from 4). Working with bigger documents will be surely more difficult.

An option like *Strip Trailing Pages* comes really handy.

OOo lacks currently the ability to draw *Dot Plots*, which makes professionally
looking graphs more difficult to create.

A *Dot Plot* is a superior alternative to the *Bar Plot*. For an extended
discussion see http://www.b-eye-network.com/newsletters/ben/2468.

ADVANTAGES:
 - less cluttered
 - better view of the data
 - great advantages when depicting *multiple groups of data*
 - better view for *Non-zero baseline*
 - *labeling* advantage when compared to the classic vertical bars of bar-charts

See the pictures on the site and judge yourself (especially figures 4, and 5 and
6 are interesting).

This is an extension / customization of issue 36096
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=36096).

APPLIES TO:
 - Printing a Worksheet
 - Exporting as PDF

When printing / exporting as pdf, I would like to suppress trailing empty pages.

Trailing empty pages are empty pages at the *END of the document*, so they are
almost always annoying. Please note, that this issue is NOT trivial.

Unfortunately, when I export dozens of pages, I select to have the *page number*
and the *total number of pages* in the footer. Unfortunately, the total number
of pages will count these empty pages, too. Therefore, even IF I manually select
which pages to export to pdf, the *total number of pages* will include these
empty pages.

IF this is an official document, then the total number of pages will point to
non-existent pages, which will make Calc pretty useless in official settings.
[Documents from governmental sources ALWAYS contain the total number of pages
explicitly stated, so that, whatever page is available, the reader knows how
many pages the document should have.]

I will attach such a PDF-document and the corresponding Calc document from which
the document was created. The last page is empty (excluding the header and
footer), therefore I would have welcomed a way to:
 - suppress the printing / exporting of this last page
 - calculate the total number of pages without these empty page

Tested with OOo 2.1, W2k SP4.

In the PDF-Dialog Box, you can select in the tab 'General'->'Range': =
'Selection', and only the current worksheet is exported. Though I agree, the
name is NOT very informative.

Maybe the following label would be better: "Current Worksheet / Selection", or
add a separate option "Current Worksheet".

*CHART2: Default Colours*

"Color used well can enhance and clarify a presentation. Color used poorly will
obscure, muddle and confuse.*
 -- Maureen Stone

Unfortunately, people have difficulty learning this simple fact. I just voted
for the new default pallet to be used in Chart2, yet I was NOT very impressed by
the various pallets. The last colour scheme (number 12, blue - yellow) is
probably the better one, but even this one lacks professionalism.

*What is the problem*?

As the first quote from Maureen Stone says, *too many colors* will obscure and
confuse. Therefore I will try to expand this concept further and add some
real-life examples from professional presentations.


A few remarks are needed before expanding this issue:
1.) EXAMPLES

I will add some examples as jpg-images to better show the reasoning for the 
colours.

I attach some professional charts taken from the WHO 2005 and 2006 reports. The
full reports (some 5 - 7 MB) can be downloaded from
http://www.who.int/entity/whr/2005/whr2005_en.pdf and
http://www.who.int/whr/2006/whr06_en.pdf (while for older reports see
http://www.who.int/whr/previous/en/index.html). Please take a look at these
charts, they look really good.

2.) BLACK-WHITE
===
Sometimes, charts get printed on black-white printers, or colour presentations
are copied on a black-white photocopying machine (quite often). Many
colour-schemes fail poorly in this instance due to poor contrast/luminosity
difference between 2 neighboring fields.

3.) PREVIOUSLY e-MAILED
===
2.) I e-mailed a similar post to the chart mailing list. However, presumably
because I appended some jpg-images, the post never showed up.
2'.) I sent a similar e-mail (with jpg-attachements) directly to people working
for Sun (e.g. to Ingrid Halama), but got NO response either, so it was
presumably deleted as well.
2''.) this is my third attempt and I will post it as a comment to issue 7019
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7019). I will attach the
beforementioned jpg-images to that issue, too. This is a greatly expanded 
review.


3.) TOC
===
This document will be organised as follows:
a. INTRODUCTION
b. BAR CHARTS
  b'. 2-3 Colours
  b''. MONOCHROME MODEL
c. PIE CHARTS and other Chart Types
d. DEFAULT EXAMPLES


a. INTRODUCTION
===

Colours used in a chart should clarify the chart and NOT confuse the viewer.
Unfortunately, this is difficult when choosing many colours as they 1.) tend to
distract the viewer from the relevant information and 2.) obscure some of the
colours used. 

This is the reason why professional presentations never use more than 5
different colour groups (hue-groups). Actually, IF more groups seem to be
needed, there are 2 ways to resolve this issue:
 - either the user does NOT recognise the essentials in the chart (to *highlight
only the essential information*), or
 - (IF – rarely – the previous statement does NOT apply) use basically a *single
hue-group*

This will be further expanded for BAR-Charts and separately for the OTHER-Chart
types.


b. BAR CHARTS
=

Bar charts are likely to contain many groups of data. A common mistake is to
draw every BAR a different colour. This is both unnecessary and obstructs the
meaning of the bar chart.

A good colour-scheme will have to distinguish between:
B1. are there only 2 groups of data: then use of 2 oppsoing colours
(significantly different hues) is OK. Also, make the luminosity different, so
that black-white printing looks good, too.

B2. are there 3-5 groups of data: selecting 3 to 5 different colours is
feasible, BUT alternatives using only 1-2 colours are equally effective.

B3. more than 5 bars: NEVER use more than 5 colour-groups!!!

To quote Maureen Stone again:
"In most design situations, the best results are achieved by limiting hue to a
palette of two or three colors, and using hue and chroma variations within these
hues to create distinguishably different colors. Such a palette is both
aesthetically pleasing and functional. It minimizes an over-dependence on hue
variation (which can cause visual clutter), and replaces it with care

Can confirm it on OOo 2.1 W2k SP4:
=POWER(-27, 1/3) returns
  #VALUE! in OOo 2.1
  #NUM! in gnumeric 1.7.6
  "-3" in MS Excel XP => TRUE

Seems, a lot of software gets it wrong, though Excel manages to calculate it.

Replace inside a Selection *deletes* the WHOLE selection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
==
1. create a new document (empty)
2. write something, e.g. "A long, long time ago, "
3. select this text
4. Menu -> Edit -> Find & Replace
5.  Search For: ","
6.  Replace by: "."
7.  More Options -> Current Selection Only
8. Click Replace

Voila, the whole selection is gone and the ERROR appears: "Search key not 
found."

Expected Results

"A long. long time ago. "

Actual Results: "."

The selection should NOT be deleted. This breaks the whole Replace method.

Tested with OOo 2.1 on W2k SP4.
Reproducible: always (and any char, NOT just "," and ".")
Broken in Tables, too!

1. Well, it is good to know that the work has started. Though, I cannot agree,
that when moving data around, there should be NO warning IF something messy will
happen.

Maybe ERROR is to much, BUT at least a warning message that some formulas could
get broken. Calc does NOT do really nasty things (as breaking the matrix into
non-contiguous matrices), BUT the formulas are still broken.

I will attach a *Test Sheet* demonstrating this behavior. Perform the steps as
described in the sheet 'Initial'. After Cut/Transpose/Paste, the formula inside
A19 is NOT updated. This is BETTER so, BUT the user has NO clue that this
*formula is probably wrong.*

2. LOOKUP
   ==
Well, this is another problem.

Lets say we have the following formula:
= VLOOKUP('a_cell_NOT_really_important'; A1:B10; 2)

and we cut/transpose/paste A1:B10 (pasting into A1 for convenience, BUT because
of previous error I used a different cell inside the test sheet);

The new range becomes A1:J2. The problem is, VLOOKUP() searched inside A1:A10
for first value, and NOW it searches inside A1:A2, because it is still
VLOOKUP(). Something very wrong has happened. It should search inside A1:J1, BUT
this is a horizontal search AND NOT a vertical one, so HLOOKUP() should be used.

So, while Calc updates the formula, this becomes a total MESS. LOOKUP()
functions won't be able to search anymore, BECAUSE the range was TRANSPOSED, BUT
the range is NOT suited for the corresponding LOOKUP. By virtue of the
*transposition*, what was vertical becomes horizontal AND what was horizontal
becomes vertical.

This error applies ALWAYS (always reproducible) when the transposed range is the
2nd argument of the LOOKUP function!

So, my belief is that a correct formula update should update the function, too.

[graphics-issues] [Issue 74512] Logarithmic Scale: Default Value vs Log

I have added 2 picture from an article published in the journal "Nature"
depicting this feature.

As stated, this option is often used in academic publishing when dealing with:
 - large variations in the scale
 - need to point out the difference between two values

When wanting to point out the difference between 2 values, the logarithm is much
more useful, because we will have the difference expressed as 1 point, 2 points
or the like (and NOT absolute differences of e.g. 560,000 vs 7,002,500; in this
case the log difference is 1.09, i.e. 5.75 vs 6.85).

One particular field where this is useful is in virology, where viral load is
more accurately represented by the log value: e.g. when measuring the
effectiveness of HIV treatment, we measure the viral load, BUT more important we
need to know the variation in the viral load, and here the logarithm is more
easy to interpret.

I have attached a sample Test-Sheet that demonstrates the ERROR.

The first sheet called "Description" has the data before the copy/transpose/past
operation. Just select the "A2:B6" range as described on the sheet, CUT and
"Paste special" using transpose inside the cell A2. The results will look as in
the 2nd sheet ("Results"), where in the cell A3 (former B2) is an ERROR.

A3: (former B2):
instead of the formula "=A2 * 2", the updated formula looks like "=#REF!2 * 
2"!!!

This deals with an ERROR in the *automatic Formula Update* when transposing a
selection in Calc.

1. ERROR in Referenced Cells: wrong formula update
2. VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are NOT updated

1. Wrong Formula Update:
   
This happens when pasting a transposed selection containing formulas over the
same location.

a. STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
   ==
1. create a spreadsheet:
  A2: = 1 ; B2: = B2 * 2
  A3: = 2 ; B3: = B3 * 2
  ...
  A6: = 5 ; B6: = B6 * 2

2. Select A2:B6
3. CUT the selection
  NOTE: the selection is cut away,
   so NOTHING is displayed in A2:B6,
   giving the false impression that
   PASTing here is unproblematic

4. CLICK on A2
5. PASTE special; check the 'TRANSPOSE' checkbox
6. new data is in A2:E3
7. the cell A3 displays an ERROR: '#REF!'

The content in this cell is "=#REF!2*2". It should have been "=A2 * 2". All
other formulas in the other cells are updated correctly.

I do NOT know how exactly the formula update mechanism operates, BUT this should
be pretty simple and could be viewed as an affine transform.

b. CORRECT FORMULA UPDATE
   ==
Lets say the initial data is in [CbRb; CeRe], where C stands for "Column" and R
for "Row". b = begin (first element); e = end (last element);

Transposing this selection and pasting it to C'[0]R'[0] will yield this:
  the new data matrix will be:
   " C'[0]R'[0]" - first cell
   "(C'[0]+Ce-Cb)(R'[0]+Re-Rb)" - last cell,
 where C'[0] is the number of the (first) column and 
  R'[0] is the number of the (first) row where the data is pasted;

For an arbitrary initial cell (Ci and Rj), the new values will be:
 C'[i] = C'[0] + R[j] - Rb
 R'[j] = R'[0] + C[i] - Cb

c. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
   ==
IF one cell contains a formula referencing a selection/ matrix that OVERLAPS the
transposed selection, BUT extends beyond its boundaries, then an ERROR should be
generated. The transposition would split the initial matrix into a number of
NON-contiguous matrices and the user probably did NOT want this.

In pseudocode, this would look like:
 [CbRb, CeRe] - initial matrix before transposition
 [CiRi, CjRj] - referenced matrix inside the formula

code to update formula and detect error:
IF((Ci <= Ce) && (Cj >= Cb) && (Ri <= Re) && (Rj >= Rb)) {
  // THIS MATRIX CONTAINS ELEMENTS FROM THE MATRIX
  //   THAT WILL BE TRANSPOSED, SO IT MUST BE UPDATED

  IF((Ci < Cb) || (Cj > Ce) || (Ri < Rb) || (Rj > Re)) {
 // THE MATRIX EXTENDS BEYOND BOUNDARIES
 //   OF TRANSPOSED MATRIX => ERROR
 // THE INITIAL MATRIX WOULD BE SPLIT INTO
 //   AT LEAST 2 NON-CONTIGUOUS MATRICES
 SET_ERROR("MATRIX OVERLAP");
  }
  ELSE {
 // UPDATE FORMULA

 C'i = C'[0] + Ri - Rb // FIRST ELEMENT
 R'i = R'[0] + Ci - Cb
 C'j = C'[0] + Rj - Rb // LAST ELEMENT
 R'j = R'[0] + Cj - Cb

 _SPECIAL_UPDATE(); // SEE POINT 2: LOOKUP
  }
}


2. UPDATING LOOKUP
   ===

When transposing a matrix, any LOOKUP function that references that matrix
should be updated.

VLOOKUP() should become HLOOKUP(), and
HLOOKUP() should become VLOOKUP()
[only IF 2nd argument references the transposed matrix]

In pseudocode, this would look like:
function _SPECIAL_UPDATE() {
  IF(_IS_ARGUMENT_OF_FUNCTION) {
 IF(_IS_FUNCTION(VLOOKUP) && _IS_2nd_ARG) {
   function = HLOOKUP;
 }
 ELSE IF(_IS_FUNCTION(HLOOKUP) && _IS_2nd_ARG) {
   function = VLOOKUP;
 }
  }
}

*Logarithmic Scale* - Display Original Values or the Logarithm Thereof

TARGET
==
Chart2 Reimplementation
This feature request should be integrated into the "Scales and Intervals
Specification" 
(http://specs.openoffice.org/chart/Chart_Scales_and_Intervals.odt)

DESCRIPTION
===
When using the logarithmic scale, most often one wishes to display the original
values. However, there are situations when the logarithm is more useful.

REASON
==
The logarithmic scale is sometimes used to display wide variations in the values
to be displayed. Such variations may be wide enough to preclude efficient
annotation of the graph. Therefore, the logarithm thereof may be more suitable.
E.g., instead of 1 to 1,000,000,000 one may use 0 to 9.

Sometimes, one wishes to highlight the change in the value, so the logarithm is
more useful (a difference of 1 logarithm step means a change by a factor 10).
This is especially useful in virology (viral load) and in serology (log2).

Some adimensional data or data with non-relevant dimensions may be better
represented by the logarithm, then by the original value. See also e.g. the
following free articles where such graphs occur:
http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/v93/n6/pdf/6800559a.pdf and
http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/reprint/25/43/10049 .

IMPELEMNTATION
==
1. checkbox: display original value (checked by default)
2. checkbox: display the log

*Logarithmic Scale* - Different Bases

TARGET
==
Chart2 Reimplementation
This feature request should be integrated into the "Scales and Intervals
Specification" 
(http://specs.openoffice.org/chart/Chart_Scales_and_Intervals.odt)

When using a logarithmic scale, the logarithm base is usually 10. Most of the
time this is indeed the way it should be, because at a log step of 1, the data
changes by a factor of 10. (=> therefore easy visualisation)

However, there are some situations where a different base for the logarithm is
needed.

EXAMPLE
===
When working with audio frequencies, the frequency often doubles. To accommodate
this, the base of the logarithm must be 2. One common example is that of an
audiogram. The frequencies recorded are usually: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000
Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz. For an example of an audiogram see
http://www.sfu.ca/sonic-studio/handbook/Audiogram.html . Please note, that both
the x-axis and the y-axis of the audiogram are logarithmic.

Log2 is also often used in computer sciences, see e.g.
http://logbase2.blogspot.com/2005/12/double-double-toil-and-trouble.html (the
graphic on blogging) and in other branches, where doubling time is relevant
(e.g. pharmacodynamics, epidemiology).

Some other bases might also be useful, like e (=2.72...).

REQUIREMENTS

1. ability to choose the base of the logarithmic scale
2. DEFAULT: checkbox with base 10 (this is the most useful, therefore checked by
default)
3. base 2 (checkbox unchecked)
4. natural logarithm (base e, checkbox unchecked)
5. custom value: field to type a number ( greater then 1; I believe numbers
between (0,1) are very rarely used, IF at all)

[sc-issues] [Issue 66735] amend brackets for inputs starting with number with algebraic sign

I was told the results for *Mathematica* (v5.(x)):

It is as expected: -4^2 = -16 !!!

Mathematica is a reference program in mathematics, so this should be viewed as
written by the almighty. I do not have access to mathematica myself, but I am
confident that the person I asked, actually tested this (and did NOT tell me
what he thinks is correct).

As noted in a previous post, other mathematical software (like Scilab, maxima,
octave, R) interpret it the same way.

As I mentioned, you do *NOT* have an "inverse sign" operator in mathematics. "-"
is only the substraction. IF you want to specify the number "-4" you have to
type "(-4)"  BASTA.

Why does gnumeric interpet it differently?

Interesting question and I believe the answer is as follows:
 # -4^2 = -16 AND NOT +16, which is wrong
 # BUT many spreadsheet users were used to get +16 in Excel,
 # so gnumeric let those users calculate what they expected,
 # BUT changed the syntax to be correct, so people NOT accustomed to this BUG
would know (and see) that it is NOT what they expect

So, I can only recommend that Calc adopts this same strategy. This way,
professionals can live with this bug, because Calc would tell them:
> when people who use this spreadsheet write =-4^2
> they usually mean =(-4)^2; so does Calc.

[sw-issues] [Issue 66344] Title Case and More Advanc ed Casing

CUSTOM CASE:

 - a title taken from the net:
  "High Prevalence of Ceftazidime-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and
   Increase of Imipenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp.
   in Korea: a KONSAR Program in 2004"
   (see http://www.eymj.org/2006/pdf/10634.pdf, but actually many journal
articles in English have their title formatted similarly)
 - lower case words: of, and, in
 - uppercase: most other words
 - special lower case: bacterial names - second word is lowercase
   -- Acinetobacter spp. (here "." does NOT start another sentence, too)
   -- Pseudomonas aeruginosa

My casing functions do not handle this one, and I believe it is far to complex
(and language dependent) to implement right now. BUT someone may write later a
great plugin to just do that and it would be nice to already have the mechanisms
in place to use with the general case formatter (and do NOT have to hack
afterwards).

While it is this feature I would like most (beyond the customizability of the
Case Formatter as implemented in my proof of concept program), this is far too
complex even for me, to devise a (simple) solution. Too many exceptions, too
many special conditions make it a tuff algorithm.

While this is true in many cases, there are two (common) situation, where this
will probably fail.

1. Some users may wish to case some text containing abbreviations, e.g.:
   - "This is e.g. an abbr. text" => we don't want the "an" and "text" to behave
like starting a new sentence
2. In some languages, a new sentence may start with a more specialized syntax:
   - dialogues in Romanian: "- This is a dialogue."
   - questions in Spanish: "?Should that be an inverted questionmark?"

There might be other situations where a user wishes that the sentence markers
are interpreted differently in his text and this customizing ability gives the
greatest flexibility. Everything is about having different choices for greatest
flexibility. But again, if there is no time to implement this, than I can live
with the provided functions (although with my solution, the code would be only
minimally more complex).

The second important point, I am NOT a programmer, it only happens that I know
some C++. And my problem is, that I have absolute no idea of OOo internals and
no time to learn it (by the way, I am also involved with 3 non-writer projects).
BUT issue 1601 is 5 years old and I would be very grateful if a developer takes
one or two afternoons and implements this. There were 15 votes for the issue
(and a number of dupes).

> SBA-> discoleo: About unwanted capitalisation, see
> http://oooauthors.org/en/FAQs/Writer/Automatisms/025

This does NOT really apply here, because the end user is left to choose what
gets capitalised and how precisely it gets capitalised. So it's up to the user
to choose whatever suits him best.

I begun writing a specification, though I do not know many things. Also, the
code I posted is only a proof of concept. It should be adapted (and improved)
accordingly.

Summary of Specification:
Abstract
Users wish more advanced casing options beyond the ordinary upper case and lower
case. This specification will present an advanced method of custom casing. Users
will be allowed to select (1) separate and independent casing methods for (a)
the letter starting a sentence, (b) starting a word and (c) all other letters.
(2) Valid casing options for the previous 3 groups of letters include (a) leave
case unchanged, (b) make upper case, (c) lower case, (d) toggle case and
possibly (e) other custom casing functions. (3) Users are also allowed to
customize (a) the detection of a new sentence, (b) of a word, (c) various
special characters propagating or (d) blocking a new sentence/ word, and (e)
special characters allowing propagation of a start new word when at the
beginning of a word but not inducing a new word if positioned in the middle of a
word.

I also begun to draft the detailed specification and will append the
alpha-version here.

Just a small comment (I added it to the duplicate issue 70575):

1. Paste a selection from Draw to Writer
2. Save Writer document
3. Preview in Win Explorer is OK!!! (W2k SP4, OO.o 2.04)
4. Reopen the document => BROKEN 
5. Resave => NOW the PREVIEW is BROKEN, too

I conclude that the open is wrong and there MUST be an error affecting only the
actual open AND NOT the preview.

Which module/plugin lets one to preview a writer document in the Windows 
Explorer?

That one seems OK.

I have appended also a diff between the 2 content.xml files (original document
and the reopened/resaved document). Maybe someone can detect the error. (see
issue 70575)

Issue 24271 has been closed, but it is still a big BUG.

-4^2 = -16 !!! ALWAYS

Software, that does NOT conform to this is wrong.

You do not have in mathematics an "inverse sign" operator, therefore "-" is
really a minus before anything else.

* IF you want to raise the number "-4" to sqare, THEN you have to type: (-4)^2
* -4^2 = -(4^2) = -16
* -3! = -(3!)
* -x^2 = -(x^2) 
** you never interpret -x^2 = (-x)*(-x) = x^2  FALSE

# the operators '^' AND '!' have highest left-side precedence (BUT NOT
right-sided, e.g. -2^3^4 = -2^(3^4)=-(2^(3^4)) )

R v2.4.0: -4^2 = -16
Octave v2.1.73: -4^2 = -16
(I will ask a collegue next week to test Mathematica, too)

I wish to encourage the developers to correct all these RTF problems as fast as
possible. This RTF defect is part of a larger defect (see issue 70537 for the
full rtf document).

REASON
==
This is an official document of the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research
(the CNCSIS branch).

The National University Research Council (CNCSIS) is the main Romanian funding
organisation for university and postgraduate research programmes. (see
http://www.cncsis.ro/English/home.php for a description in English)

It is difficult for the academia to switch to OOo, if they would not be able to
fill the appliance for grants. I still use OOo, but had to switch to MS Office
to write that application. Therefore I sincerely hope that this gets corrected
as fast as you can.

Many thanks in advance,

Leonard Mada

Although the target milestone is set to "OOo Later" I wish to encourage the
developers to correct all these RTF problems as fast as possible.

REASON
==
This is an official document of the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research.
Actually it is the primary questionaire needed to apply for grants in Romania.
CNCSIS is by far the most important institution that offers grants in Romania,
and everybody from the academia is bounded to fill this form. (see
http://www.cncsis.ro/tipa2007.php ; there is even an English version of the
document, http://www.cncsis.ro/2007/inf_comp/A/Formular_A_2007_ENGLEZA.rtf , but
this one does NOT contain the Romanian letters).

It is difficult for the academia to switch to OOo, if they would not be able to
fill the appliance for grants. I still use OOo, but had to switch to MS Office
to write that application.

So I would ask you sincerely to put every effort to correct the RTF filter as
fast as possible. IF there are any inconsistencies in MS Office, please let me
know. I would not loose the opportunity to bash at the Romanian Ministry, BUT I
need HARD evidence, that the specific feature is not standards compliant.

Kind regards,

Leonard Mada

This is exactly what I hate at Excel. I am working very much with strings and it
is annoying to generate formulas on the fly.

 - '+abcd' is definetely NOT intended to be a formula
 - it should be a string
 - IF there is a mistyping, THEN
   -- the user HAS to come back to correct the error
   -- so having it as a string is the same as having it as a formula
   -- because Calc would NOT have changed the string
   -- (i.e. it is different from 36373+34737, where you wouldn't be able to
correct one of the numbers, because Calc would already added them up)
 - WHEN correcting a 'should be formula', you are again in the particular cell
and the input routine would(/could) change it back to formula mode (there is
still the '+' in front of the string), so there is NO need to make an erroneous
formula

Just my thaughts.

There was another issue (applies even for the official OOo 2.04).
 - '+4':
   -- currently it is transformed to the plain number '4'
   -- we do NOT need a formula for simple numbers
   -- however, when working with categorical data, there might exist categories
of '+4', '+3', which are different from '4', '3'
   -- I would have liked that this be converted to string

So, I think, this issue should be viewed as a more general approach to format
the input in Calc (and NOT just the simple formula enter mode)

The file content.xml seems to be different between the 2 files (my 2 files: the
original and the reopened/resaved file).

I will append a text file with the differences:

Some lines are different. (I have added breaks to visualize better the
differences. Also I have deleted a substantial part at the beginning that was
identical.)

There is a more general problem:

I will attach 2 simple files (I reduced the original drawing):
 - Preview first file: it is OK (in Win Explorer, W2k, SP4, OOo 2.04)
 - Open it in OOo 2.04 => it is wrong (the vertical line is bigger!!!)
 - SAVE it in OOo 2.04 => the Preview is now wrong, too; the saved file is
different from the first one

* file 1 is the original
* file 2 is the original AFTER opening with OOo2.04 AND Saving it again (without
actually modifying anything!!!)

*STARNGE, STRANGE*

Opening attachment id=39867, displays the picture erroneosly.

Previewing the file in Win Explorer seems to display the file correctly.

NOW:
 - Open the file in OOo 2.04
 - SAVE it again
 - BOOM: the preview is wrong, too

So, I believe that OOo opens wrongly the file, while the preview plugin
interprets it OK. Must be a bug in OOo open module (NOT SAVE module).

What differences exist between PREVIEW and OPEN?

OK, I can reproduce it.

OOo 2.04 (en)
W2k SP4

STRANGE:
The preview in Windows Explorer (the small image) seems to be correct (as far as
one can decipher the small image).

Which plugin lets Win Explorer display the preview? That seems to be OK (even
after saving the OOo writer document). So it seems that the opening is the
problem (NOT the save).

[sc-issues] [Issue 20496] Enhanced formula input

I had a new brainstorming session and would like to expand on some issues/
Specifications:

What__| How
is| should it be
entered___| interpreted
==|=
SIMPLE NUMBER:
* Number (e.g. 4)  => as plain number
* negative number (-3) => as negative plain number
* '+' + 'Number'   => as STRING !!!
  -- this is currently interpreted as a number, too, but in categorical data you
may have often categories of, e.g. '+4' which is different from '4' (think of
grades in histology and so on);

NOTE: when we have only one number [regardless of the +/-/(or nothing) in front
of that number], the formula does *NOT bring* any *additional benefit*, so I do
NOT believe that a formula is needed in these situations!!!)

NUMBER FOLLOWED BY OPERATOR:
* 'plain number'+'any operator' => string
* '+' + 'plain number' + 'any operator' => formula
* '-' + 'plain number' + 'any operator' => string (formula?)
* ('+' or '-') + '-' + 'plain number' + 'any op' => formula; strip first +/-
  -- advanced: IF "'any operator'..." does evaluate to *ERROR*, consider string
instead of formula

STRING:
* any string => string
* ('+' OR '-') + STRING
  -- IF string evaluates to valid function => formula
  -- IF NOT => just a string

I posted previosly:
 - option to DISABLE this !!

However, the current comment is about something else (as I belive that some
people really need this feature).

I think that specifications of 'should +1 become a formula' miss totally the 
point.

IF I have '+1' or '=+1' it is actually the same. Both cells are equivalent and
the difference is minimal. (It is only a diference IF I need the string '+1',
which is probably a rare event.)

THE PROBLEM
===
The problem arises for NON-NUMERIC entries, like +A1, +'NAME OF FUNCTION',
+'STRING'. Here the differences *ARE BIG*, if it is only string or formula.

Therefore, I believe THESE situations should be detailed and a SPECIFICATION
should be made available.

As I pointed in my previous post:
 - IF +'string' evaluates to a cell or valid function, then this should be 
formula
 - ELSE, this should be text string
 - I use often '--' to describe a result that is not-available (but e.g. the
test was performed, yet did not yielded something interpretable), therefore I
would like that '--' be entered as a string ('--' has indeed a different format
from the templates discussed in the first IF and would be string by default
using my recommendations)
