[discuss] yet another uk thesaurus problem
Hi, I've got probs getting the UK thesaurus to work under Suse 9.3 and OOo build 1.9.79.2.3. I checked the OOo knowledge base, did as it suggested (change th_en_US.dat and th_en_US.idx to GB AND UK just in case), restarted OOo but no joy. What am I doing wrong??? I keep on banging my head against the wall... Cheers Ingo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [discuss] OpenOffice (newbie)
I would suggest that users@openoffice.org is a better forum for this type of question. Since it seems you are a windows user, I would suggest that you use 'install/remove programs' option for removing the previous version OOo. You can also, if that doesn't work, simply reassociate your files with the 1.1.4 version manually (eg, right click, open with...)... /paul On 9/6/05, asus77x [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys, I have download the newer version of OpenOffice (1.1.4). now I'm running version 1.0.2. could anyone advise how to remove existing installation and how to install downloaded file so next time I start using OpenOffice it will be used the version 1.1.4.

There are a number of reasons why this could be a useful feature like traveling, mobility, space problems and so on... Regards / Tomas If you use Linux you can already do this - install OpenOffice on a server, and then have Linux clients ssh into the server and run OpenOffice, exporting the display to the client computer. I'm not sure what the performance over the internet would be like, but on a LAN it works fine ( I just tested this ). Over ADSL2 it should be fine also. As for implementing other ways of doing this - it's not going to happen. OpenOffice is a very complicated suite, and providing a rich GUI to a client that doesn't have OpenOffice installed is just not feasible without an existing framework for providing network transparency - as X does under Linux. You are most certainly not going to have some Java applet serving up an office suite. Developers have enough work on their hands just getting 2.0 released without having to rewrite the entire GUI to use Java widgets. The 'space' argument for providing this functionality is also pretty unusual. OpenOffice takes up 268 MB on my system. That's nothing - even on laptops. If you want convience, buy yourself a USB memory stick, and put an OpenOffice installer on it. Then you can install OpenOffice wherever you go.

[discuss] Hiser comments on MassGov ETRM doc
OpenDocument expert and long time OpenOffice.org member Sam Hiser has responded to Massachusetts request for comments. You really should read his excellent summation of these recent world changing events: http://lxer.com/module/newswire/stories/viewstory.php?rid=42705 Although Sam says it all, it really is incumbent on all those who value Open Standards, Open XML technologies, and the wonder that is OpenDocument. OpenDocument is more than just a cornerstone of our Open Internet future. It is uniquely OpenOffice.org's gift to mankind. A gift that has now been taken up cause célèbre by so many systems vendors, solution providers and application builders, that Microsoft has been left near isolated and steaming with rage. Even if the only thing you do is offer Massachusetts your congratulations and support, do so. They have done a courageous thing. If they are successful, the flood gates are sure to open. There isn't an enterprises, organization, or SMB anywhere in the world that isn't right now contemplating moving their information infrastructure to an Open Internet foundation. Usually this means consideration of SOA best practices. SOA is an approach for integrating disparate non Internet ready systems and computer resources into loosely coupled alignments where XML rules, and information flows unimpeded between applications, data silos, and transaction centers - regardless of platform specific bindings. Please read the Massachusetts SOA strategy. As Sam so aptly describes this plan, it is about as perfect a blueprint for migrating to an Open Internet - SOA infrastructure as we've yet see. Well worth your time! And many thanks to Sam, especially for the eloquence of his comprehensive response. ~ge~
