[discuss] GNU/Linux User Show
A new poddcast is on and on their 10th episode they discuss about OpenOffice.org I havent heard it yet but it looks like a lot of ranting about the OpenOffice.org thing. I think this is sometimes constructive and sometimes not so constructive. But overally I think is great to have this shows talking about OpenOffice.org from a User perspective.

I wonder if you talk about hyperlinks as opposed to bookmarks. Hyperlinks means that are links to other parts of the document. If you mean hyper links you can disable them by right clicking on the hyperlink word or moving wiht the arrow keys to get to the word. Then go to the upper menu on Insert and choose hyperlink and delete the link. On 8/7/05, Daniel Carrera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > William W.

Re: [discuss] Re: "To Close for Comfort?"
I guess the keyword here is the option to turn it off. I use autocomplete too, but the point here is that it gives me the option to use it or not. However the pop-ups AFAIK I can't turn them offat ll nor can I have any control to pop up on a way that is not intrussive.

Re: [discuss] Blogger Toolbar.
I think the closest thing that you will find is the Add-On for Doku-Wiki. I guess someone can create a blog application based on the DokuWiki API. http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/06/1511255&tid=130&tid=93&tid=13 and an article about that here http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/DokuWiki.sxw Another option is using a CMS like PLONE which you can configure it as a blog. OOoAuthors is a good example of this. You can upload your OpenOffice.org files and will be displayed as website. Finally a 3rd option is the Apache Forest which supports OpenOffice.org http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org/ I don't use windows and I don't know what exactly does the Google bar does in Word.

Something that is available for free might not necesarily means that you can get it. For example if you don't have internet you wont be able to get it... even if it is for free. Also if you are using a dial up account that will take u more time (and money) to get it on line. In software world usually illegal copies of software are available 'for free'. However still pirates make a great profit on selling CD's. Transfer this to a floss world and you have almost the same enviroment except is legal. :) Also you have companies that sell the solution (not just the product) so they will sell you support, installation, constant upgrades, Toll free number to call, document management solutions incorporating our product or simple add on's, plug-ins etc. -- Alexandro Colorado

Re: [discuss] Need to add info on install location in Linux
You coul have saved some time by addressing to the list. Yes it is a valuable suggestion the one of specifiying that information on the tar.gz. But usually this doubts could rapidly be responded on this list. We have used the /opt/ since OpenOffice.org 1.0 4 years ago so for most people is rather obvious. Still you have rpm tools to view where will your files will go before installing.

[discuss] Re: SO 5.2 Images Pixels
Their software has been discontinued, that is why I wanted to express the feeling that SO 5.2 was a much diverse solution. And that 'looking back' it was a better application than what now is SO7. AFAIK OOo drop many things on the deal between Star(Media?) and Sun for OOo. But it seems it droped also for StarOffice 6. The end result is what many know today as OOo lacks (email client, calendar, Browser, Chart Engine, Bitmap Editor, database etc). Funny enough, asking for those products will produce a massive amount of traffic yelling out the bloatness of OOo making it a 200Mb download, however SO 5.2 packed all this tools with a 76Mb download for windows. OOo 2.0 is now around 100mb download and 90 for Windows. I know there has been much more code packed in since then, and Download size is as acurate of a measure as making a forecast based on the mood of your dog. But still is an interest thought.

Re: [discuss] Groupware?
There are apps like OpenGroupWare.org and Plone which is a CMS that take OpenDocuments but somehow I think this is not what you are looking yet this implementation has woork for sites like OOoAuthor which have created a lot of documentation on OpenDocument format. Basically Plone take OpenDocuments and renders it as HTML so you can read it on the browser, however you cannot load the HTML and get it render back as an OpenDocument. You can however upload the OD as a file. This documents have permissions and are very good when working in groups. You can move them from /home/ type of folders to global ones and so forth. There is something as StarOffice Enterprise that lets you manage multiple StarOffice clients which lets you enhace the deployment of secure documents through digital signatures, LDAP authentication and other nifty features: http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/enterprise_tools.jsp On 3/3/06, STOTKO Engineering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to find out if Open Office does in any way get incorporated > with any groupware product currently available on the market. > > > > This is based on working on Wordprocessors, Spreadsheets and Presentations > and sharing it across a network via a server. > > > > Thus one can send and receive documents via one single program and have > and > organizer that allocates where these documents are refferenced to. > > > > I await your reply > > > > Regards > > > > Michael Biribauer > > > > __ > > NOTICE: Please note that this E-Mail, and the contents thereof, is subject > to the standard STOTKO Engineering (Pty) Ltd E-mail Disclaimer which may > be > found at: > > <http://www.stotkoengineering.co.za/legalnotices.php> > http://www.stotkoengineering.co.za/legalnotices.php > > If you cannot access the legal notice through the URL attached and you > wish > to receive a copy there of please send an E-Mail to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > -- Alexandro Colorado

Re: [discuss] Improving Impress
Yes this has been brought before, a big difference is that StarOffice is distribute on a CD so the inclusion of ClipArt don't really hit the file size or bandwith. On 5/16/06, Paul William Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The July 2006 edition of Computer Shopper (UK) compares various presentation software programs. They rate PowerPoint 2003 and StarOffice8 Impress as the two best and of equal worth. The magazine makes the comment that the OpenOffice.org 2 version "lacks most of StarOffice's templates, clip art and fonts These limitations are more significant with Impress than other elements of the suite, as ready-made content is an important aid to creating presentations." I have used Impress with 11 year children who have found it intuitive and easy to use. Would it be possible to bundle more templates, fonts and clipart with the installation program? Could the clipart and fonts be available for the other applications in the suite? I would imagine that most of the readers of this discussion group would be able to collect and use their own source of media, but it would be a great help to those who are far less confident with computers.

First, congrats for the great job called OO2! But unfortunately nothing is perfect... For some reason the PDF conversion does not work 100% well in Oo 2.0.2. I became aware of the glitch, when I tried to upload a PDF file created with OO 2.0.2 for a conference (IECON '06). The automatic submission system continuously rejected it. I was also told that a common reason for this is that fonts are not embedded and subsetted, but this was not the case... Further details or other possible error sources were not given. So I finally tried to upload it after converting from ODT to PDF using OO 1.1.5 - and hooray! everything went just perfectly! Please take a closer look at the changes made from 1.1.5to 2.x...

Try starting Writer, then start calc and you will see that is considerably faster than starting word adn then starting excel. 2. open office has zero support for fitting experimental data with mathematical functions - this should be also as a warning on the main page.

So just like HTML, a tag will make bold regardless on which browser you are watching this webpage. The OpenDocument File format basically will dictacte a satandard office schema which we are pushing for other office suites to adopt so you can edit your documents on the file office suite you preffer. This will make your documents be able to interact and display correctly without loosing formating. On 8/2/06, bob lyskowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: One of my biggest pet peeves with OOo and pretty much every other program I have ever used is compatibility. I have run into some compatability isues with OOo and MS, both Excell and Word. But then I have run into compatability issues between different machines running the same version of Word, but different updates, so that issue I will ignore here. My issue is this: Why does a program allow you to do things that are not consistent with the particular type of document? An extreme case is if you pull up a Text document, you are allowed to Bold, change font size, add special characters, formatting etc. Then, of course, when you save it all the special things are gone and sometimes the formatting is so inconsistent with txt that real information is lost. To me, I beleive that if you open something in text, you should only be allowed to do text type formatting. if you open it up a Word Document in OOo you should only be allowed to do Word kind of formatting. If you open up an old version of an Excell document in a new version of Excell, you should not be allowed to do formatting that will not be recognized by the old version of Excell. Etc. I expect these kinds of inconsistencies from MS, but NOT from OOo. 8^) Bob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Alexandro Colorado

Re: [discuss] Suggestion for OpenOffice.org Draw - please read it!
I am a bit confused on what you asking. Openoffice.org draw has some connectors, my question is if you are asking for additional connectors? You can enable connectors in opendraw by going to View > Toolbar > Draw I went to the site that you gave me and they talk about different connector styles. There is another open source tool that implement this called DIA, DIA is available for windows and linux users (not sure if they have for OSX). Also there is another tool called Kivo which is a more powerful drawing tool designed for engineers. OpenOffice.org Draw is not designed specifically with engineer diagrams in mind so I am not sure how open to this idea is the draw team.

The HTML editor of OOo is quite outdated and lacks a lot of features that nowadays are expected from a good HTML editor. OTOH it is indeed a very nice tool to quickly create some HTML documents. We definitely will keep the ability of OOo Writer to import, edit and save HTML documents. It is unclear if we should keep Writer/Web as an own module. Writer/Web more or less is the same as Writer with some UI options and features removed. It's open for debate wether the small user benefit (not being able to do things with the document that can't be exported to HTML) justifies the effort to maintain the additional code. We haven't made up our minds about that until now and we are open for user feedback. I take your mail as a sign that at least one user is there who uses Writer/Web. :-) Did you ever try to edit your HTML documents with Writer instead of Writer/Web (of course with "Web Layout" switched on)?

Re: [discuss] File Format support...
I think it is a legitimate request. However the main challenge as Ian said, is the resources involved. It is true that both file format are open source. However I am not sure if both formats are similar at all. By that I mean if Abiword has an XML based file format or a binary. Changing from binary to XML is a daunting task. I guess with a small team of developers (4 or 5) this might be possible, if you can supply this team it could be possible to make a plugin that compiles the format into a Abiword Binary.

So, I created an ODBC connection to the XRMS mySQL database on my system. OOo recognizes the connection, and allows me to log in, etc. The problem is when I go to set up the field maps in the addressing; XRMS is a relational mySQL database, and information is stored in various tables using key fields. For example, to create a full address for a contact, I need to access 3 different tables in the XRMS database: TABLE DATA IN TABLE companies company name contactscontact's salutation, first name and last name addresses contact and company addresses countries countries So I set up the connection, setup OOo to access the database. But I can only seem to pull information from one table at a time, I cannot use relational data!!! How do I get a complete address in OOo using this scenario?

Re: [discuss] Can educational programs be written for OO in VB or VBA? There is an offer to do so.
I ca;t answer that question since I am not sure if you mean a security hole on the lanaguge or on OpenOffice.org. OOo configurations usually have security features to disable macros. Read about it on Tools > Configuration. But a security expert most run a test on both language and determing which one is the less buggy. However I dont think that's what you are talking about right now. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ Mensaje citado por Sweet Coffee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Alexandro! > > Does OOoBasic have the security problems alluded to VB in this thread?? > > SC > > On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 16:02:38 +0300, Alexandro Colorado > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure how will this help exactly, you realize VB is not a real language. > I > > mean is Basic attached with the Win32 libraries and components while the > UNO > > has the own OOo libraries. > > > > VBA on the other side is more like a scripting language since is not > oriented to > > win32 specific components. > > > > On the other side just learning OOoBasic would be a much better decision > simply > > because even if a binding is created it wont mean automatically that it > will > > work without re-coding. > > > > -- > > Alexandro Colorado > > Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish > > http://es.openoffice.org/ > > > > Mensaje citado por Jacob Floyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > I think that someone could write an UNO Bridge to allow use of VB. > > > > > > Jacob > > > > > > > > > On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 14:23:22 -0500, Sweet Coffee > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello Everyone! > > > > > > > > A the webmaster for a site called "Teachers-Pet.org " is interested in > > > > writing some educational software for OO.

Re: [discuss] Chatroom
Chat rooms have always been used, as well as forums (oooforums.org) so I really don't see why are we asking how a chatroom should be. I mean, just got to irc.gnome.org and almost each project has a chatroom there. Usually chatrooms are used for meetings, conferences, and sessions, other times are used for support. However proposals are better handled either on a forum or a mailing list, or even better on a reporting system. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ Mensaje citado por Mr Rigel Anrndt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I can see the benefit of a chat room, but I can also see how using a chat > room without an organized approach might get to be a bit confusing.

Re: [discuss] Novell and OOo for slick new Novell desktop
This is funny, since when the enterprise and the general consumer had a division when it comes to windows? So why would it even matter in Linux? Windows is not ready for any of both, since it doesnt includes anything on their 'distribution'. The only division between linux for the general consumer (home) and the enterprise (professional) is IIS, which is not used on any of these. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ Mensaje citado por Christian Einfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Friday 01 April 2005 04:44, Sam Hiser wrote: > > snip... > > > Linspire and Xandros are nice but tend to fail due diligence when > > organizations review the products and the COMPANIES BEHIND the > > products--which is a big factor--not to mention the services > > surrounding the product.

You mean third parties? I don't remember the last third party that specified that has to be Windows Professional, usually they just say XP, the reason is because the KernelNT is the same. Regardless of that, third parties doesn't really matter, since the same happens with Linux. Yea most people will say it only runs with Red Hat enterprise, but we know that the reality is that it can run on any Linux. So if the profile goes at how many support deals we got from third parties, then it really doesn't matter on what you actually get for your money but what the company gets with your money. This is what beats the Linux is free as beer concept because the support is embedded with the OS, but it doesn't really validate the technology.Since Windows doesn't have anything anyway when you buy it. Linux has enterprise ready Apache MySQL PHP SendMail FTP-server and hundred of software it doesnt matter if its Mandrake Move or Red Hat enterprise. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [discuss] data base in OOo2?
The again to be honest we still havent have a 'stable' implementation of the native database format into the OpenOffice.org GUI. Also MySQL products lack things that Access has like 'Views', while Oracle and PostgreSQL have stored process that are not supported by the GUI. Access is also a very unique database since they don't manage Unix dates so their time format is just shared with MS SQL Server, every other database has the standard -MM-DD which also cause some problems I was testing the UI and I also found a very basic incompatibility with the MySQL database which is the 'Limit' option. this is a very basic command which I found surprisingly missing when running it on the UI of the db. I do want to ask more people to beta test the OOoBase specially if they have the resources to have an Oracle/PostgreSQL/SQL Lite/Firebird database. -- Alexandro Colorado Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish http://es.openoffice.org/ Mensaje citado por Daniel Carrera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > bealach wrote: > > > However if the PC World review of Oo2 beta is right the database is very > > much like M$ Access which PC World claims is not very good and users > > don't like it very much. > > This is very vague.

Re: [discuss] Novell and OOo for slick new Novell desktop
- OT: BTW I have Gentoo on my server, I remember once getting complains from the OOo 2.0 build being sometimes late on emerge and the native OOo is rpm-based so that didn't really give any more options. Do you have any updates on that? - About NLD, I think is a 'working' desktop so is a Ximian desktop with redcarpet and solid support for specific software like that Novell's networking tools (can't remember right now).
