Re: [discuss] Donation
The same thing happened with me. I would have donated to OpenOffice.org, but they don't take credit card donations without setting up a paypal account first. I cancelled my paypal account a while back due to phishing attacks. Instead, I donated to Gimp, Inkscape, and Mozilla - it must not be that hard if they could do it. If OpenOffice.org wants to make it such a pain to give money I guess they don't want it bad. Very easy to donate to money to Gimp, Inkscape, and Mozilla - just go to their homepages and follow the links or post on the their lists.

You gave some examples, but what's the essential > requirement? Mine would be: > > -. I have an idea, which exactly fits to the topic of the thread, therefore I just want to add it here. Recently I had the problem that I wanted to print a table in Calc as PDF, but wanted to add some explanatory text at the beginning. So I tried to insert a Text Document in Calc, but was missing an automatic format function. That is, if you type text in Writer before a paragraph the text below your insertion scrolls down. But when you write the text into the OLE text document in Calc, the cells stay where they are and the object overlaps the cells. I thought, well, maybe Writer is the better app for my purpose and linked the Calc spreadsheet into a Text document with my comments. Unfortunately the Calc table now spread over several pages and it is not possible to paginate it in Writer. That is you can put the OLE object on one page and select a part of the Calc contents, which is viewed, but I want to show all contents spread over several pages. Exactly as tables in Writer do it, but when I imported the spreadsheet as table, I lost the formulas of the calculations of course. Not to mention what happened when I tried the same with MS Office, frankly speaking I turned the output into a piece of modern art with it. Although I am aware that it is not so easy to implement OLE functionality that allows Writer to paginate Calc spreadsheets, this would be a feature, which currently no office suite seems to implement. What would be needed is: - Paginate OLE Calc spreadsheet tables like tables in Writer. - Resize cells in Calc containing OLE Writer documents automatically to the size of the document. - Paginate OLE Writer document in Calc together with the cells, without overlap. Or: Combine the functionality of Calc and Writer into one application. Then you have a worksheet and simply put text or tables on demand onto it.

Re: [discuss] Save a copy for OOo?
Sorry andrew but that's not what he means A "save a copy" is where the file gets saved but then it doesn't switch to that file as the file being 'edited' so for example you could be editing foobar.odt and save a copy as foobar.doc to test how well it opens in MS word but since you 'saved a copy' rather than just saved you can open the file without it being locked, and whenever you save the file again it'll still save it to foobar.odt Abiword has this. As does a lot of other open source apps. OpenOffice seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even though it's probably simple to implement.

Have a look at this page: http://oopm.openoffice.org/ http://oopm.openoffice.org also points to the GANTT chart macro for using CALC as a project management tool. A PERT chart macro can be found at http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Solutions#Project_Management points to FLOSS alternatives to use until the OOo Project Management project creates a viable tool set. xan jonathon -- OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO.

OpenOffice seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even though it's probably simple to implement. I'm trying to write up something for consideration, although I'd rather call it "Export". I'd love to get some input, especially which other apps use this (no matter what it's called), and how this works in other apps. I'll take a look at AbiWord; can you think of any others? How does Office handle it? You can have a look at the enhancement request I filed here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74415 It's always complicated when you try to change a user interface that is as central as file handling. There are a lot of competing needs and you don't want to get it wrong.

Hi guys I'll take a look at AbiWord; can you think of any others? How does Office handle it? Yesterday I was showing some Windows users Picasa, and I noticed it had Save a Copy. I'd never used it until then. Seems to be a good feature.

Re: [discuss] PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Hi Adrián I think a good idea will be to include a open source project management tool. Maybe something similar to gantt project. There are quite a few open source project managers, but not all of them are available for Windows (assuming that is what you are using). A good place for you to start would be Open Workbench http://www.openworkbench.org/ If you'd also like a list of other open source Project Managers that don't work on Windows, please let me know.

Not group shareable (though I guess you could email the database around), but it was "barely adequate" for an individual. With a little bit of work it _might_ have been usable by a business. I _think_ that the features that Outlook users are wanting, are the calender/contact manager functions.. For group scheduling,and calenders, a LAMP solution makes more sense. That can also be more easily integrated into Thunderbird, than OOo.[Use the Lightning extension as the scheduling/calender function. Export personal calendar to the LAMP database. Import group calendar from the LAMP database.] For group contact management, a LAMP solution "should" work. A macro for Calc (to send out snail mail) and possibly a custom UI, for adding/editing the contact database would be required. OH, and a way to impor tthe email addresses into Thunderbird. xan jonathon -- OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO.
