Ciao Paolo

Assuming you want the Italian version, you can download it directly from Apache
http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.7/binaries/it/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Win_x86_install_it.exe

http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.7/binaries/it/
Hope this helps,
Pedro

Back to your problem:

I've downloaded a second ago and haven't seen a problem. So, in general 
it's working.


When you have problems with specific mirror servers then just change 
them. On the SourceForge webpage there is a grey "Problems Downloading?" 
button. Just click on it and choose a different mirror from the popup

Re: APACHE OPEN OFFICE COMPATIBILITY ISSUE WITH MOJAVE?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. AOO seems to work 
just fine according to Mojave users on the OpenOffice forum.


However, if you choose to innstall AOO, please make sure you read the 
installation instructions for Mac at 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html#apple 
especially in respect of gatekeeper.

Hi Fred,

where did you download your copy of OpenOffice? Did you use the official 
download page www.openoffice.org?


I've never had this error message when installing OpenOffice which I've 
been using for 10 years. But I hope someone from the mailinglist can 
help you. :)

yes, you can install OpenOffice on Windows and Mac computers. And also 
on Linux if there will be any need.


Please see here [1] for more details about the system requirements. Then 
you can download the program from here [2].


When you make sure to save the documents in the native OpenDocument

As best as I can determine, only one program on Android claims to be

I quit trying to track iOS and Android apps that had ODF support, when I
realized that for every app that did so, there were around 50 that made
that claim, but could neither open, nor write ODF documents.

Thanks, Jan. Well, just by stating what you said is a start. Stating that we 
have limits here, in AOO, and that to pursue other ways of cracking this 
problem is okay and ought to be endorsed is a good next step. We’ve done this 
unofficially; but why not have a page that identifies not just derivatives but 
avenues of exploration and discovery, with the point of identity being ODF 
support (and license).

to rephrase: productivity software, especially for enterprise, is 
overwhelmingly dominated by proprietary apps sold by very large multinational 
corporations. The apps available are often "free," as in beer but not free as 
in speech. They are not open source. It does not matter if the operating system 
is Android or iOS or whatever, though there are some differences, at least in 
the marginal OSs, which represent a minute fraction of the total used.

What this means is that as tablets (however imagined) are brought into the 
enterprise (public or private sector), open source is almost entirely absent. 
Yes, many apps use open source languages but so what? The UX model promoted by 
the smart, mobile device shuts out user intervention, with some exception, and 
there seems to be nothing organised that I can see that’s trying to change this 
arrangement and make it easier to create, distribute and even promote open 
source productivity apps on mobile devices.

Yes, I am aware that tablets are falling out of popularity, but I also am aware 
that the tablet as imagined by Apple and incarnated in the iPad, was designed 
and is still envisioned as a consumer entertainment device, not as a work 
device (though that is changing) and that efforts to insinuate the tablet form 
factor into enterprise, as Microsoft has tried, have not succeeded. However, 
the mobile device is succeeding in areas where investment capital is less 
visible and it is likely to be the preferred mode for the billions that will be 
coming fresh to school, work, and other areas where computing devices are de 
rigeur (now or soon). And these users, in Africa, Latin America, and  the rest 
of the world, rich or poor, will be using… proprietary software.

So, although the situation on the desktop (and by this one means also the 
laptop, of course; one refers here to the UX not hardware) is generally not bad 
for open source, that’s not so for the mobile UX. I doubt very much that Ubuntu 
or Moz. will put a dent into hard proprietary wave. What would, however, would 
be mobile apps that can work smoothly with existing desktop productivity 
software installations. Like Corinthia.

I don't currently work for them, only tell that they exist. But maybe,
after my retirement in two months, I will start to work on a FR
localization of their extensions. We'll see. I'm not especially a fan of
Mathematics and Statistics, but perhaps with a little aspirine, I could
digest " Modeller" ... ;-)
I don't have more details about the EuroOffice for Android developpement.
Maybe it's better to contact them directly if you will to learn more on
this project. I know only that calc is now available, but I haven't tested
it :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.multiracio.euroofficecalc

 Corinthia seems interesting, but a little young to get an accurate idea of

Thanks for the clarification and am glad you’ve been able to work with them.. 
I’m also not employed by them. I do find their work and collaboration 
interesting, as well, and in particular their use of Calligra, which I’ve long 
touted as very interesting, indeed. (I tried to engage Inge for a project; my 
inducement was the interest value of it.) I am intrigued that they chose to use 
Calligra here, as opposed, say, to WebODF (which was made by some who used to 
be associated—not sure?--with KOffice, which forked, one tine being Calligra; 
it is now the dominant one, I believe). I had been considering WebODF as a 
means of providing a measure of ODF support on mobile devices, and that still 
may materialise (if I get on it) but the Calligra instance is interesting. I’d 
love to learn more, on-list or off-list. I hope others might find you 
explanation of interest.

You might also (ahem) consider looking at Corinthia, which although is quite 
different from Calligra and EuroOffice (the subject at hand), nevertheless 
resonates with the pragmatic approach demonstrated by EuroOffice. My interest 
here is not to fragment AOO but rather to expand our horizons and to make it so 
that all users can really and truly be free to use open standards on the 
devices they bring to work or that are foisted upon them.

And, implicitly, to undo stealth vendor lock-in of the sort we are seeing now 
in mobiles for enterprise. Or have you not noticed that there are precious few 
native (as opposed to virtualised) open-source productivity tools to be found 
ready for the enterprise?

To avoid any confusion, I'm not currently working for EuroOffice. I've
contacted them only to obtain their agreement to make some
advertising for them in Switzerland, because I'm thinking they bring also
interesting things.
Particularly, the collaboration they maintain with universities seems to me
a productive approach.
Doing so, you can develop, test and collect feedbacks at the same place.
Of course, such a collaboration is certainly not easy to start, but it can
be durable when established, which is an advantage.

Well, good. But why do you think I was suggesting they don't? The
point I was making was that as a product based on (or extending, say)
OO , they are not really to be looked at for an Android-ready OO app.
Please recall that I worked hard to bring EuroOffice into OOo and
honour their contributions to the ecosystem. I'm not faulting them.
I'm rather suggesting that for any code that would work well on
mobiles, we do better to look at elsewhere. I suggest Corinthia.

Some examples :

- EuroOffice can export to .docx, .xslx, .pptx.
- The EuroOffice Adaptive Interface extension provides users with a
dinamycal menusystem to EuroOffice. By changing the size of the menu item
according to the frequency it was used it makes the menu system more
transparent. (copy from

OK, their extensions are proprietary, but I think they make also some
development on the AOO code.

EuroOffice 2014 is based on AOO code. Previous version was based on LibO.
Developpement is performed with an university (Budapest).
EuroOffice for Android is based on Calligra code.

You should perhaps contact Kázmér Koleszár for that.

Maybe. But note that I was referring to the Android app, which may or 
may not share code with EuroOffice (and which, by the way, I never tested).



"Based on" would seem an ambitious description.


There is no policy (or need for one), but if they see themselves as an

Isn’t EuroOffice just OpenOffice rebranded (maybe now, LO?)? "Based on" would 
seem an ambitious description. If you recall, MultiRacio of Hungary, the makers 
and distributors of EuroOffice, have had correspondence with OpenOffice (and 
previously, OOo) since 2007, at least. They presented at the Barcelona OOo 
Conference back in 2007, where my goal was to persuade them to become positive 
members of the community. They in fact positively contributed and were 
prominent in the last OOoCon, the one held in Budapest. EuroOffice has 
contributed templates and, I think, extensions to the repository, and the 
latest on this subject was, in fact, from 24 May 2013, when Kázmér Koleszár 
wrote to express frustration with being unable to post updates to the 
extensions his company had already posted there. (Roberto Galoppini replied 
positively on this matter.)

The site for MultiRacio has 2014, suggesting it’s up-to-date, more or less, but 
I would be astonished if they have a version for Android, though it’s also 
plausible they are working with LO on this. Easy enough just to ask Kázmér or 
Banai Miklós.

If the desire is to have a working open source editor for text and other 
documents, then I would strongly suggest that people look to Corinthia Project, 
in Apache Incubator, as that stands the best chance of actually producing 
something that works and can work regardless of specific platform or 
environment.

There's no work in progress on this at Apache, but there are two related
serious activities.
* A direct port of AOO to Android has been performed, [AndrOpenoffice][1} -
however, its user interface is not adapted to touch-only use and I find it
usable only in desktop contexts (with a wireless keyboard and mouse) where
I might as well use a laptop
* A project is under way to create a specific adaptation for Android, and
the project has reached the stage of a stable and useful document viewer,
[LibreOffice Viewer][2]



> 2. Can library of [Apache open office] convert document to image ?


There is a server mode that you can use to perform a variety of
conversions. There have been forum discussions [sample][3] and there's a
[how-to for LibreOffice][4]. I would suggest researching this "headless
mode" and then coming back with questions.

Some modules support it directly, like Draw. Other modules can export to

let me answer your questions:

1. Apache OpenOffice is not working on mobile devices that have Android. 
However, there is a third party that has ported the software to this 
platform/operating system [1]. Maybe you want to give it a try.


2. It is not possible to take a single library of OpenOffice to use it 
to convert documents from file format X into Y. But I don't know if I 
have understood your question right.

Yes I've spent a bit more time with it, and Steve Yin's folks have done a 
superb job so far. I am concerned though that you see "non-standard" IA2, 
because while the ia2 Branch builds thus far have been for Windows testing, 
assume that other accessibility components of the Symphony contributed code 
will also be merged in some fashion.



Assume you'd like things to be IAccessible2 1.2.1 and better draft 1.3 
compliant. But that will mean some work under the hood to move the Symphony ia2 
code base onto the emerging standards for IAccessible2. Obviously lots of work, 
and at this point Steve Yin characterizes the work on IAccessible2 at only 5% 
complete-so for getting collaboration on standards compliance in place--now is 
the best time.



Also, for the other bridges--ATK/AT-SPI and NSAccessible--and their mappings of 
the existing UNO Accessibility API, this ongoing work on a native Windows 
bridge offers an opportunity to clean up and redefine incomplete or inadequate 
roles and mappings to bring all the APIs equivalent correcting any omissions. 
And I'd hope that once started, the whole UNO Accessibility API could 
ultimately be systematically extended to support needs of all the ISO/IEC 
13066-1 parts for improving AT.

Something to consider...

We had OOo4Kids.  Why not AOO4Seniors?

I don't know how it is in other parts of the world, but in the US and
parts of Europe there is a demographic shift as post-war "baby
boomers" age and retire.   They did not grow up with computers, but
now find themselves in a world where computer access is now essential.

We're starting to see special models of cell phones and computers now
for seniors.  Simplified interfaces, larger icons.

A quick workaround to allow you print your document without delay: /File 
/Export as PDF.  Now open the PDF document in a PDF reader (usually Adobe 
Reader, almost certainly installed on your computer) and print the document 
from that.

The longer approach to a fix: it can help to reinstall your printer _after_ 
installing OpenOffice.  Reports of printer problems seem to occur more commonly 
when 64 bit Windows operating systems are used; there may be some problem 
interfacing with 32 bit OpenOffice, but the problem is not common or 
recreatable for debugging, as far as I know.

Hi harry, probably your printer is not being seen by OpenOffice. Please
select:
File > Printer Setting
Verify that you printer is the one selected, if you are not sure, click on
the back to back trianges to see which one are available. If you cant find
the name of your printer, then you will need further assistance.

Deban--

I'm not sure what the problem was for you, but you might just try getting
the latest version directly from our download page:

http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

and then installing it.

If you have more problems, you might try contacting the User Forums for
additional help.
