Re: [discuss] we need an outlook component to the suite
'Outlook' is most famous as a security hole masquerading as a useful application. In that context, one must also consider the back-end which is MS Exchange. So for that there is already a drop-in replacement: https://www.damnvulnerablelinux.org/content/view/21/27/ However, if you mean e-mail, then it should be mentioned that Mozilla Thunderbird is fully 'compatible' with OpenOffice.org. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Same can be said of most (i.e. non-MS) mail clients. regards, -Lars - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [discuss] Extentions+ themes
Original Message From: Slim aouni [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed 02 Apr 2008 09:46:32 EST Hello, Congratulations for this fabulous work, I would like to know if you plan to integrate the new extentions of Microsoft Office 2007 (docx….). Also it would be great that the interface become customizable by extentions( themes) like firefox. Thank you very much. The new extension you refer to is an exclusive Microsoft file format OOXML (Office Open Extensible Markup Language), which is not currently supported in the official edition of OOo (OpenOffice.org). This facility is proposed for inclusion in version 3.0.0 expected to be released around September 2008. As a temporary (maybe permanent) option, you might consider the enhanced version of OOo called Oxygen Office Professional. This is still OOo, but this edition includes a number of extras and enhancements, one of them being the ability to open MS Office 2007 OOXML files. The conversion is not 100% perfect, but then neither is Microsoft's own Compatibility Pack for earlier versions of MS Office [1]. Oxygen Office Professional can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop It is a fairly large download (approx. twice the size of the official edition) and you will need to completely uninstall any current version of OOo before you install Oxygen Office Professional. [1] http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100444731033.aspx There is already some degree of interface customization possible, but at the present time developers tend to work on functionality, rather than extra eye candy. You may also be interested to know that there is an OOo French language project available at: http://fr.openoffice.org Hope this helps.

Re: [discuss] WordPerfect
2008/4/1, John Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have now installed OpenOffice 2.4, and wish to convert my documents from WordPerfect 6.0a ... does anyone know how I may achieve that? -- John H Atkinson Hello John, You can open WP files in Writer. Don't know whether there is a batch procedure to do them all in one go... (the Wizard Conversion for Docs only works for StarOffice and MSOffice.) Form the Migration Guide http://fr.openoffice.org/files/documents/67/3973/0600MG-MigrationGuide.pdf What are the issues when migrating from WordPerfect to Writer? Can I open WordPerfect files in OOo? Yes, a WordPerfect filter is now available in the standard OpenOffice.org installation. What macros are available to make Writer work more like WordPerfect? Reveal codes OpenOffice.org's Writer does not have underlying codes in the same way that WordPerfect does. But a macro is being written that will allow you to work in a similar way to WordPerfect's reveal codes. See RevealCodes3.sxw available at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ for more information. Hanging indents The hanging indent concept in Writer is quite different from the concept used in WordPerfect. The best approach in OpenOffice.org is to use styles, but to ease the transition, see either AltKeyHandler.sxw or Indents.sxw available from http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ for a macro that approximates WordPerfect's way of implementing hanging indents.

Hi, To round off the license and contributor agreement change[0] the exempted contributions guidelines and the new source header are now available after review by the OpenOffice.org Project Leads. As you know additional functionality for OpenOffice.org may be provided as an OpenOffice.org Extension. Authors of Extensions are invited to maintain their Extensions within the OpenOffice.org Project. This will enable you to use the available facilities like mailing lists, issue tracking, ... and the source repository for collaboration purposes. If you prefer to do so without signing the SCA make yourself familiar with the exempted contributions guidelines. The home page of the external project[1] has been updated. It now contains the guidelines for the exempted contribution of source code extensions. Along the way the handling of infrastructural libraries is now stated more precisely. To reflect the license change to LGPLv3 a new header for the source files will be introduced. Header templates[2] are linked from our guidelines for participation[3] and should be used for files created from now on. On the DEV300 codeline all source files will be changed by Sun Release Engineering to contain the new header before we release OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta.

I know I've already got a file manager, and it's easy to open, but I absolutely refuse to open it from anywhere other than inside my office package, and I think YOU should be the one to implement it, because YOU want OpenOffice adopted by the masses.
