Re: [discuss] CMYK export query

Hi Chris, sorry, currently RGB is the one and only printing/export path there is for OOo. Widening that to CMYK is possible, though a larger effort (see e.g. issue http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18674 for a corresponding feature request).

Currently I am printing to a .prn file with settings for our plate maker and distilling it with Adobe Distiller. We've had this problem with Microsoft's Office products, and it would be absolutely awesome if there was some way to get around it with Openoffice. If you've any experience with this or know of a workaround or a direct solution, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your time. Chris, I don't have the necessary inside knowledge of how OOo (OpenOffice.org) handles color, but I don't believe this list is the best place for such a technical question. I would suggest you post this to the developers list at dev@openoffice.org where your request is more likely to be seen by someone who knows the inner workings of OOo. If you do post to the developers list, let them know you are not subscribed and ask to be cc'd with any reply. Hope you get the answer you are looking for.

RE: [discuss] Re: Mail Client
Ok folks, while Thunderbird is lacking some features I like, I am ready to look at it again. Here is why: I need calendar/scheduling/to-do's, etc. The calendar extension and /or Sunbird were fairly horrid examples. Probably why Mozilla has a team working on the Lightning project. Lightning takes the Calendar project and re-worked it from the ground up for tighter integration into Thunderbird. But there has been no release builds, unless you wanted to build it your self and risk instability... As of March 14th (I'm a bit behind, I just found out yesterday) Lightning 0.1 was made into a stable build! I've installed a test but I haven't worked with it yet. I did nose around a bit, and it looks great and seems to function well. This is obviously a pre-release...it does not yet integrate scheduling with email (i.e. you cannot receive an email with a task or appointment and accept it and have it automatically add to your calendar) but that is one of the upcoming milestones. Here is a list of features that are scheduled to be worked on, but are not working in this release, or are only partially working: Better Thunderbird integration email-task linkage Integration with the Thunderbird address book iMIP support (meeting invitations) Improved CalDAV support Cached calendar support for offline calendar use Device synchronization Now, I have not switched my stance that OOo should have a PIM or tightly integrate with a third party PIN naturally with little to no setup. But Lightning makes Thunderbird look more promising and useable by corporate users, especially once the features above are included. The Chandler project still looks more promising, but it is much further away from a useable product.

Google Calendar rocks. It's free, browser-based (ie crossplatform) and ful featured!

The point is that many people will not switch from MS Office unless all the features in it are in one program. Many people on this list are unwilling to acknowledge this point. Personally, I've never used MS Office or Outlook. I have a old copy of Word but seldom use it. However I would appreciate much better integration of word processing, email and PIM. It would be a time saver for me but I will not go to M$ Office to get it. Last time I tried Mozilla Calender it sucked big time. Bloated, slow and practically unusable.

I will give positive and negative response to user lists for the products I use. Why do people respond to user comments with questions like this? Thunderbird and especially Calender were not usable for me. I went back to an email program that worked well for me and found a much better calender. I am not going to waste my time trying to make a product work when there are better solutions available. -- Larry I. Gusaas, Moose Jaw, Sask. http://larry-gusaas.com --- avast!
