Why not make the option only available *if* the error occurs, that way
no-one needs to bother about any additional options if they don't ever
use 0^0. If they do there is a warning and a choice offered.

I am a mathematecian, and not exactly a Microsoft fan. So I'll vote for 
math of course (and I can get very pedantic about this). Though, in the 
case of 0^0 math doesn't provide an unambiguous answer because in the 
strictest sense 0^0 doesn't make sense. In some (not all) instances it 
is convenient (not required) to define it (notice, a definition) as 1.


I think that defining it as 1 for Calc will hurt more people than 
defining it as an error.


One alternative is: If a cell ever gets 0^0 Calc makes it 1 the way you 
want, but the user gets a pop-up warning him of this fact. And possibly 
giving him the option of changing that behaviour, or not show the 
warning again (like Firefox does with encrypted sites).


Best,
Daniel.

[discuss] Databases in OOo - now and in future

2006-03-21 Thread Uwe Fischer

Hi,

I would like to know how you use the database component of OpenOffice.org.

Do you use Base to maintain your databases?
If yes, which database format (hsqldb, mysql, dBase, ??)
If no, why not? What must be improved to use it?

What part of the database file window do you use most, the plain Tables, 
the Queries, the Forms, or the Reports?


Did you create tables, queries, forms, or reports manually or using the 
wizards?


What can be improved?
For example, which export file formats do you want in addition to the 
current formats?
Is the current online help sufficient? Which topics need a better 
documentation?

Any system that can produce postscript file need to have those

yes. There are no better frontends for using databases under Linux.

Forms and reports for the daily using the database.

For the administration I use the design view creating tables and queries.
For forms and reports I use the wizard. I don't know how to create

IN x^y when both approach zero the result approaches 1.


NO IT DOESN'T. That would be true only if y is an analytic function of 
x. It need not be. Think back to vector calculus. You have a function of 
two variables:


f(x,y) = x^y

You want to take the limit of this function as (x,y) -> (0,0).

First you consider the case where you approach along the x-axis (y = 0) 
and you get 1. Then you consider the case where you approach along the 
y-axis (x = 0) and you get 0. At this point you conclude that the limit 
is not defined.


This is the third time I give this example. Aren't people listening? It 
is *NOT* true that x^y approaches 1, it DOESN'T. It only approaches 1 in 
a special case i.e. if you approach along the a curve y = f(x) where 
f(x) is analytic. For example, y = 0 satisfies that criteria, and indeed 
you get 1. But x = 0 does not satisfy that criteria and you don't get 1, 
you get 0.

1)  Because all you said was "Download this here now!!!" - that's very spam

4)  When someone asked you a question about it - all you did was send the

In the last few weeks, we've been getting a lot of SPAM that way.

6)  Without a preface, introduction - or even a link to information about

As was pointed out - it could have been a virus, spyware, adware, or

At this point - I do appreciate the effort in putting it together, and in

I said a suspcious looking email - *not* a suspcious looking email address.
The email itself was suspcious.  However, I have received plenty of SPAM
from email addresses that look like they are coming from domains that I
trust.  At work, our email addresses all end in @shofar.com.  We are the
only people (the ones at work) that have that domain name in our email.
However, I've gotten dozens if not hundreds of emails coming from

know since I control all the @shofar.com address in existance).

@openoffice.org is not a hard email address to get.  It's pretty easy to
register there too.  And, it's free.  With gmail - someone had to invite

"this" above was referring to "-(A1-B1)^2 is not resolved to

The snipping made the meaning disappear. I think this case is more important.

Our opinions differ. Fair enough. Seems like we focused on different
parts of the, in my eyes well written, discussion at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sci-math-faq/specialnumbers/0to0/

No. Imagine you send a spreadsheet using this to someone. Do you
intend to supply a document specifying "click No when a dialog asks
for 0^0 handling"? Or should the option be per spreadsheet? Or should
it be handled with style (bad joke...)? I.e. using a "0^0=1" style for
the field?

In the Firefox case you get the needed information in the dialog. This
case is not the same.

I am not a Mathematician, although I took a couple Algebra courses 40 years
ago.

Floatingpoint Numbers are ambiguous. Zero when derived by calculation is
typically not really zero but a very small number. IN x^y when both approach
zero the result approaches 1. When using Spreadsheets (or any computer
program) one can not assume absolute precision. Given that either/neither X
or Y will not be absolute precise expecting a 1 is reasonable. 
Does this make any sense?

I guess more accesible documentation, there are good documented issues,

It's not that I wasn't happy - it's just it had been a while since we talked
about it (almost 2 months) and then all of the sudden, there are 3 identical
emails saying basically "Download this now!"  The thing that really made me
think it was SPAM was when someone asked you a question, and then the same
email you sent out in the first place came back to the list.

This is much more informative and helpful.  I appreciate the work you've
done, and the improved announcement.  As I said back in January, I'll
download and install it as soon as I get home.

[discuss] Basic Manuscript Formatting OOo 2.01

2006-03-21 Thread Mark J. Pugliese
I have visited the OOo Forum site, and read several posts, and posted my 
own question about a way to format a simple fiction manuscript format.


Here is an example about what I'm trying to achieve:

http://www.shunn.net/format/novel.html

While this is a very basic formatting issue, OOo seems to have 
difficulty re-creating the example.


A few problems I'm having:

I save each chapter as a different file in case technical problems 
occur, and to make life easier to edit each individual chapter (file).  
The page numbering needs to progress through the manuscript, so each 
chapter (file) needs to start on a different page number.  If Chapter 1 
ends on page 15, then Chapter 2 needs to start on page 16, etc.


If I try Format > Paragraph > Text Flow > Insert > With Page Style, and 
then type in the page number I want to start with, a blank page is 
created as page 1 of each file.  This is a workable issue, although an 
extra page is printed with every file.


If I use the Master Document / Sub-Document method and create a Master 
Document out of Chapter 1, and then the following chapters as 
sub-documents, I have an issue with the way OOo starts each new 
sub-document on a new page.  The method explained in the help section 
does not maintain the required half page of space at the top of each new 
chapter's first page.


Is there a way to format something that looks like the example in my 
link above?  If not, are there solutions around the corner?


On a side note:  OOo is a wonderful program and I commend all those 
involved with the creation and maintenance of what must be a helluva lot 
of code.


Do you need assistance in regards to writing any type of documents?  I 
do not have a programming or computer background, but I can write, edit, 
and explain things clearly.  Is there a place for someone like me who 
would just like to help out?


Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your mail, compliments, intention to help (pls see

I've one suggestion to your mail:

The page numbering needs to progress through the manuscript, so each

extra page is printed with every file.

[...]

If the first page is even, OOo allway's puts an odd page in front.
I've read (not looked at it yet) that in 2.0.2 there is the possibility 
to suppress automatically inserted pages. However, might be that this 
option only is related to mail merge.

Yes, indeed. Use a "First Page" style for the first page of each 
chapter. Format the margins to suit (e.g. a big top margin so the 
. For your purposes, I assume that a new chapter could start on 
an even numbered page or an odd numbered page (in contrast to a 
formatted book, which would normally have each chapter starting 
on an odd numbered page). If this is true, then on the Page tab 
of the Page Style dialog for the First Page style, look in the 
Layout setting section for "Page layout" and set that to "Right 
and left". On the Organizer tab, set "Next style" to "Default".


Make a paragraph *style* for the first paragraph in each chapter. 
On the Text Flow tab, in the Breaks section, select Insert, With 
Page Style, First Page, but leave Page number alone. Apply that 
style to the first paragraph of each chapter.


There might be another trick or two that escapes me at the 
moment. I do this sort of thing so often that I don't even think 
about it, so I forget what I do! It's really very easy, just not 
very obvious.

Yes, we would welcome you with enthusiasm! You could join the

site for documents that are posted on the Doc Project's website,
