[sw-issues] [Issue 8938] import/export filters for M icrosoft Works (.wdb, .wps and .wks)
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8938 --- Additional comments from na...@openoffice.org Tue Aug 4 17:33:50 + 2009 --- Looks like the simple solution for Works users trying to move up to the real world may be to use http://go-oo.org/ and not the normal OpenOffice. I haven't tried it yet - downloading it now. I have two friends who are still using Works, and unfortunately they never spotted that Works can be set to default to saving in Word6 or RTF formats. For people who want to continue using Works, the rest of us need OpenOffice to be able to read their Works files without fuss. This also applies to people who accidentally open Works and create documents without realising their mistake. For people who want to move up, there is a need for a batch converter that will convert all the old files. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[framework-issues] [Issue 76463] defective java error
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76463 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 3 23:18:40 + 2007 --- I've just upgraded from OOo 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 and now I'm getting the defective java message when I try to use the web page wizard in Writer. This wizard has worked OK in the past. Java is build 1.6.0_01-b06. I looked in Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/Java and saw 2 versions of Java (1.6.0 and 1.6.0_01) listed but both had empty radio buttons. I selected one radio button and that seemed to fix the fault. It may be coincidence, but I had recently use Add/Remove Programs to get rid of several old versions of Java (1.5.x) which seemed to be cluttering up my hard drive (130MB each!) I would have expected the OOo upgrade to have fixed any potential problems with Java. Seems to me that the OpenOffice installer is not automatically selecting the most recent Java version - possibly it is expecting an old version to work, but not bothering to check whether it still exists? Looking through the forum, it appears that this bug has been present through several versions of OOo and Java. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Automatic translation is what the user needs and expects. Changing options that affect all workbooks, will cause more problems than it solves. If the user sees a warning that a regular expression could not be translated to Excel format, they will learn that Open Office is more powerful than Excel. Currently the inadequate translation gives the opposite impression, if the user has never heard of 'regular expressions'. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sc-issues] [Issue 51068] Count should ignore error s
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51068 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 5 06:26:41 -0700 2005 --- I'm sure this won't be the only case where fixing a bug causes spreadsheets to give different results in oo1.4 and oo2.0. In this case it's perhaps more of a difference of interpretation over what should be counted. Both interpretations might be correct if they match what is described in the program documentation, but the important thing for Open Office to be accepted by former Excel users is that OO should give the same results as Excel without the user having to fiddle with any settings. Having several modes, where formulas either follow Excel rules or oo1.0 or oo2.0 rules, would not be sensible. The journalists who write magazine reviews would have a field day! Excel 2003 has started putting green blobs on any cells that it thinks look odd, such as numbers that are text, or formulas that are different from the adjacent formulas. A text message like a tooltip is displayed to show what might be wrong. This technique might be a possible way for Open Office to warn the user about ambiguous functions. In this particular case, I can see that Open Office has a safer approach in that an error will be propagated, whereas Excel may hide the error from the user. In my case the error was unimportant so I preferred Excel's approach, but that might not always be the case. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 51076] WW8: Drawing Callouts in groups appear in the wrong place
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51076 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 23 03:09:33 -0700 2005 --- My bug report was about inaccuracies in the conversion from a Word document. Obvioiusly there needs to be compatibility here, regardless of whether the original error is casued by Microsoft or Open Office. However, the simple solution would have been for me to move the callouts to the correct locations using Open Office. I found this impossible. I couldn't create new callouts as easily in Open Office Writer as in Microsoft Word. In Word I can choose a callout style, click at location A and drag to location B. I get an arrowhead at A and a box at B. I can then resize the box and it remains linked to the arrow. Open Office doesn't work this way - A and B become the diagonals of a box, and an arrow appears nearby but not joined on. The arrow seems to have no relationship to the location that I was pointing to. The box also does not seem to work as a text box - text spills out of it and does not word wrap inside it. Text, box and line appear to be unrelated - not really a callout object. Maybe I've misunderstood how to use it? Is there an alternative way to put arrowed labels on maps? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I still can't find it in the Help file. Could we please have that on a Tool Tip. Maybe when hovering over a corner, it could say press Shift to Keep Ratio. I'd much prefer the default to be reversed - Keep Ratio unless Shift is pressed. I can't think why anyone would need to unlock the ratio - it's generally easier to drag one side to fit the column width, then drag bottom to give the required height. It's annoying to find you have accidentally changed the shape. In the right-click Position and Size window, there is a box for Keep Ratio but it won't stay ticked when the window is closed. Maybe this window would be an appropriate place to display a note To keep ratio while dragging corner, hold the left Shift key. Note that holding the right Shift key for 8 seconds will activate Filterkeys. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I tried to pick up the arrowhead and move it to the correct location, but the whole callout jumped to a completely different location. Problem may be that the Writer callout is created as diagonal corners of a box with a line somewhere near it, while the Word callout is created as a line with a box attached at the second point of the line.
