Hello Gavan,

That sounds like a neat project. I don't know where said code is, but I 
know someone who does :)  Please contact the OOoWriter mailing list:


dev@sw.openoffice.org

In this list you'll find all the Writer developers. They would know 
where the wordcompletion code is, and can probably help you with it. To 
subscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and be sure 
to respond to the confirmation email.


I hope the project goes well. Good luck!

Cheers,
Daniel.

 Hi richard

  No.  You can set it as any language that you are not using.
 
  It should also work, now, with ANY which obviates the need
  to assign it to another lang.  Just found out about this the
  other day.  I'll have to look it up.  Maybe someone has it
  at hand.

 looking at the available.lst file that DicOOo uses, la.zip is
 still bound to it IT

 using ANY, as i did for esperanto, works only if the language
 is listed in the dropdown of the UI (ie, the Local la ANY is
 allowed)

Is this something that can be added to the macro?  Or is it 
dependant on being compiled in?  Or in available.lst?

 reading again the file i think i messed some things
 ia,ANY,ia_ANY,Interlingua (ANY locale),ia_ANY.zip -- ok
 it,IT,la,Latin (for x-register),la.zip -- latin bound to it
 (is it still used ?)

You can cross-register to any language that you aren't using.  
My understanding is that I could bind it to to es_ES and 
myspell would use both diccionaries. 
I don't have a list of latin words handy to check it but I'll 
look for some words.

Hm, I don't think it could me more intuitive! Could you perhaps describe

 Which is the best way to get into using it properly?

If your document is properly structured (headings, tables, objects etc.)
it provides an easy way of navigation. But it does not stop there - you
can also reorganise your structuring, promote or demote headings and
their paras etc. Its brilliant.

 Is there anything that can be called outliner mood in OOo?

If you consider the above you will find that outline view is ineffective
and takes up far too much space. As a result, I never even bothered to
look for one.

[discuss] Error Reporting

2005-06-23 Thread Will Cool
Twice my laptop has shut-down unexpectedly with an unsaved OO.o 2.0 doc open in

prompted to report it as a problem.  However, both times the reporting utility 
failed, prompting the MS reporting utility to report that problem to Microsoft.

[discuss] Problem with blank pages in writer docs

2005-06-23 Thread William W. Austin
When writing docs at the office, I have to use standard templates
which I converted to use with OOo a long time ago, and generally I
have no problems :-).

However, there is one which has me stumped.

Everything is set for 2-sided printing, and my level 1 headings
MUST begin on a right-hand page.  No probelm - modify Heading 1
format (text flowinsert blank page  with page format right page).
However this produces a completely blank page with no header and no
footer for the preceding left-hand page.

What I am *required* to put there is an otherwise blank page but
with the regular header and footer PLUS a centered label on the page
(Hor. and Vert.) saying:

This page intentionally left blank

I have rtfm'ed and all the other docs I've seen (since Staroffice6
and the first Oo release I ever got), but so far haven't found a way
to do this automatically. Yes, I can create a blank left page format
with the text put in place automatically (background as graphic which
contains the text I need...), but that, too is a manual insertion.
Having to change, say, 20-30 of these because something earlier in
the doc is a real pain.

If anybody has an easier way to do this, I'd really appreciate
the info.

Thanks,
william austin

Hello SC,

Hhmm... I'll try to address your points, but I'm afraid there's not a 
whole lot I can do.


You wrote:
 Could OOo appoint and/or create a group to either help in the creation
 of a voice recognition program for OOo or in the creation of some
 kind of software bridge to get OOo to work with OpenSource software.

This isn't something that the Community Council does. Ultimately, it's 
up to developers to decide what they work on. The council doesn't have 
any hired developers we can assign to tasks. And I don't think it's ever 
been the intention for the council to have developers to assign to tasks.


You also wrote:
 A relationship with the programmer or programming community of
 OpenSource voice recognition software.

So, you mean, talking to makers of voice recognition software and asking 
them to make OOo plugins?


This is something the council could do. I don't know the best way to go 
about it. And like you say, these people don't seem interesting. But it 
doesn't hurt to ask, right? So we could ask.


I'm CC'ing this email to the council list. Let's see what the other 
council members think. If the council doesn't go for it, I will happily 
approach these ISVs myself. But then it'd be just me doing it.

Hi Daniel!

DNS (Dragon Naturally Speaking) and the other commercial voice
recognition programs do not seem to want to be helpful in porting
their products to work with OOo.  However, there is a open source
voice recognition group that may be willing to work with OOo.  They
are called OSSRI [Open-Source Speech Recognition Initiative].  They
are located at the following link,

OSSRI [Open-Source Speech Recognition Initiative]
http://www.ossri.org/

Also, since I have your attention, maybe you can help me out with
this.  I would really like to see something like MS Producer [free
add-on for PowerPoint] developed for OOo Impress v 2.0.  I have tried
to get information in the Impress Forums and by contacting the Impress
Project Moderators about this but I have not been able to get any
helpful information to no response at all.  I was even thinking of
trying to learn enough code to attempt to do it myself but I cannot
even get a response about the type of coding that would be needed to
achieve this.  Links to what I am referring to are below,

Producer 2003 Product Information 
http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/producer/prodinfo/default.mspx 
Producer 2003 Demos and Samples 
http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/producer/prodinfo/demos.mspx 

I believe the more features that OOo has that can be used by academia
the more its use will grow.  The biblio folks are working hard to
upgrade the Bibliography feature.  This will definitely increase its
use in academia.  Improvement in Impress will also help in that and
this type of add-on will also increase use for presentation purposes.

I know OOo is is basically for Word Processing but the definition of
word processing has really extended itself into a broader definition
of programs and features over time.

Thanks for lending an ear to my thoughts and questions.

[discuss] IRC talked on SUNDAY.

2005-06-23 Thread Daniel Carrera

Hi all,

I'd like to announce that due to LinuxTag on Saturday, we felt that 
Sunday would be a better day for the next IRC talk. So we don't lost the 
attendance of all the people going to LinuxTag.


The next IRC talk will be Sunday June 26 at 15:00 UTC (more times 
below). As always, it'll be on Freenode, on the channel #ooonlc. You can 
find IRC instructions here:


http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/instructions/

You can also download the talk slides right now:

http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/

Talk title: Life of one NL project.

Hristo is the lead of the Bulgaria NL team. This is a young NL project 
which recently went through the process of going from initial creation, 
to gathering volunteers, and getting the project going.


Hristo will share about his experiences making a new NL project. What 
went well, what didn't go so well. Difficulties faced, and the solutions 
they found. Then Hristo will share his ideas for the future. And to 
conclude, he'll share lessons to be learned from this experience.


This should be an interesting and valuable talk to (1) people interested 
in starting an NL project (2) people involved in young NL projects and 
(3) NL leads interested in helping future NL projects get off the ground 
more easily.


I've seen through the slides, and the talk looks very interesting. Not 
surprisingly, I hope everyone will come.


Unfortunately, a previous commitment will keep me from attending. But I 
have arranged to get IRC logs from someone else and I will post them on 
Monday.


Talk time - various timezones:

Los Angeles  8:00 AM
New York11:00 AM
Rio de Janeiro  Noon

It seems therefore that your real requirement is for Impress to
improve its multi media support.

The fact that you can view resulting files via a web page (which is
part of MS producer) is irrelevant in this case.

Without having a need to produce such presentations I cannot comment
on how Impress handles video/audio. Maybe someone on this, or the
users, list will be able to provide more to the discussion.

   Hi Daniel!
  
   DNS (Dragon Naturally Speaking) and the other commercial voice
   recognition programs do not seem to want to be helpful in porting
   their products to work with OOo.  However, there is a open source
   voice recognition group that may be willing to work with OOo.  They
   are called OSSRI [Open-Source Speech Recognition Initiative].  They
   are located at the following link,
  
   OSSRI [Open-Source Speech Recognition Initiative]
   http://www.ossri.org/
  
   Also, since I have your attention, maybe you can help me out with
   this.  I would really like to see something like MS Producer [free
   add-on for PowerPoint] developed for OOo Impress v 2.0.  I have tried
   to get information in the Impress Forums and by contacting the Impress
   Project Moderators about this but I have not been able to get any
   helpful information to no response at all.  I was even thinking of
   trying to learn enough code to attempt to do it myself but I cannot
   even get a response about the type of coding that would be needed to
   achieve this.  Links to what I am referring to are below,
  
   Producer 2003 Product Information
   http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/producer/prodinfo/default.mspx
   Producer 2003 Demos and Samples
   http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/producer/prodinfo/demos.mspx
  
   I believe the more features that OOo has that can be used by academia
   the more its use will grow.  The biblio folks are working hard to
   upgrade the Bibliography feature.  This will definitely increase its
   use in academia.  Improvement in Impress will also help in that and
   this type of add-on will also increase use for presentation purposes.
  
   I know OOo is is basically for Word Processing but the definition of
   word processing has really extended itself into a broader definition
   of programs and features over time.
  
   Thanks for lending an ear to my thoughts and questions.

This isn't something that the Community Council does. Ultimately, it's
up to developers to decide what they work on. The council doesn't have
any hired developers we can assign to tasks. And I don't think it's ever
been the intention for the council to have developers to assign to 
tasks.
   
You also wrote:
  A relationship with the programmer or programming community of

So, you mean, talking to makers of voice recognition software and asking
them to make OOo plugins?
   
This is something the council could do. I don't know the best way to go
about it. And like you say, these people don't seem interesting. But it
doesn't hurt to ask, right? So we could ask.
   
I'm CC'ing this email to the council list. Let's see what the other
council members think. If the council doesn't go for it, I will happily
approach these ISVs myself. But then it'd be just me doing it.

I am converting from Word Imperfect and am quite
pleased so far with OO. I am trying to compose an
article, recto-verso, (mirror), with a title on the
first page followed by 2 column text and a footer on
the second page. I have not been able to keep both
title and footer from appearing on both pages. I was
not able to delete alternate pages while trying to set
up 2 separate files for printing recto-verso. I would
appreciate any help available. Thank you.

These types of queries normally are best for the users list.

This type of formatting is done through the use of page styles. If you
create the page styles that you want, you can then decide on what page
styles you want headers and footers to appear.

This link has some useful information for these types of issues :

Depends what you are trying to do.


Is there anything that can be called outliner mood in OOo?


What would outline mode look like or do for you?

it is really untolerable to only have RPM packages, because admins want to

This is a major step backwards.

Can you please explain further and also what version of OOo you are running.

If you are running 1.9.109 please file two issues (one for each defect).

The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. To do that, follow this link:

http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html

If you haven't already registered at the OpenOffice.org website, you 
will need to do so. You can do that by following this link:

Fill in your information and reply to the confirmation
email that will be sent to the address you provided. Once you have
confirmed, then go submit the issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.

You need to use two different page styles. One for the first page and 
then a different one for the second page.


If you need more help setting this up, please post to the list.

I think he is complaining that the standard mirrors list the Linux
install as only being RPM packages for the developers versions.
If he looked on some of the other developers site he would find that
he could get .tar.gz, .zip, .deb etc as well. They just need to
look either on the list, or on the main site to see where the
packages are available.

Where can you get .tar.gz or .zip files? I'd love to find out. I know 
where to grab .deb files, but not because it's clear from the website. I 
can't imagine how anyone could find the .deb files from the website. 
Even knowing that the page exists and where it is, I can't device a 
route that would take anyone from the front page to the .deb files.


http://download.openoffice.org/2.0beta/instructions.html#other_linux

And that's just the .deb files.

Where do you find the .tar.gz archive?

Cheers,
Daniel.

OK. The .zip may only be available for the current MS Windows version
having a quick look, but the .tar.gz is definately available on the
Ximian developers site.

I did not say it was easy to find some of these packages, just that it
was possible to find the packages if they looked at other developer
sites. Remember, we are talking about a product that is still in beta :)
