[discuss] [solved] endnotes placement
En/La Jonathan Kaye ha escrit, a 26/06/05 13:26: I'm using OO 1.9.109 and have created a document that has a series of endnotes. I've been able to format them exactly as I want them except... the endnote section that OO creates is preceded by a page break. I want the endnote section to be on the same page as the end of the text. I've gone through all the formatting options and can't find a way to do this. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, Jonathan Jonathon Coombes's tip, http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au, works fine. It's quite easy and maybe brings home the lesson that I should work with sections. As it suggests I stuck my whole doc in one section and then I had the option of putting the end notes at the end of the section. It worked a treat. I would only ask please, please, please put the contents of the above tip into the Openoffice help file. It will surely save other people a lot of trouble. The heading could be endnotes: placement thanks to you all for solving my problem and teaching me something interesting. Jonathan -- Please don't cc: your posting to my personal address. Thank you.

[discuss] Re: Send document as email?
En/La Daniel Carrera ha escrit, a 14/06/05 02:50: Hello, I'm trying to get the send document as email feature of OOo 2.0 to work. That is, File Send Document as email. I went to Tools Options Internet Email and I put in my mail client. So far so good. I can go to File Send Document as email, and indeed, Thunderbird comes up. But there is no attachment, or anything related to the document. It's just a regular compose-email window. So... I must be doing something wrong. Could anyone help me out? Does anyone know how to make htis work correctly? Cheers, Daniel. Hi Daniel, I'm using OO 1.9.104 on a Debian Etch box. I configured the option for TBird and it works fine. The doc is loaded as an attachment and I can send it whether or not TBird was already running (if it's not running it only opens the Tbird compose window not the whole mailer). Cheers, Jonathan
[discuss] non-initial hanging indent
I'm using OO 1.9.104 but the question can be generalised to any version. Is it possible to start a line with some text, then tab to some position and then begin a hanging indent from that position. I've tried various things but bullets and the indents only seem to like to be at the beginning of the line and not preceded in the line by some text. Reading the help file doesn't supply an example of this type. I am told that you used to be able to do this in MSWord by typing some text and then hitting Ctl-t which takes you to the next tab and starts a hanging indent at that point. The only workaround I've found is to create a table with invisible borders but surely a more elegant solution exists.

I've always felt it's | better to let lots of different organisations do what they do best. | | OpenOffice.org doesn't have their own address book, but it interfaces | with lots of different address books (including Outlook if that's what | you really want to use). It can connect with Mozilla's address book, | and the 2.0 beta also connects with Thunderbirds. Thunderbird will take | care of your emails as well as your address book, and also has an add | on calendar module called Sunbird. | | To access your address book from OpenOffice.org, check out File / | Wizards / Address Data Source. | | Adrian Thanks Adrian, I was wondering how you incorporate the address book (I use Thunderbird) and it took me all of 10 seconds using the wizard. My first love was WordPerfect but I had to give that up years ago because of conversion problems with M$Word. I then said sod it and changed to TeX. I use OO for editing other people's work and quick stuff.

[discuss] updating OO and dicts
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, As you've seen from my last message I just updated OO again to 104. One recurring problem is carrying along the various dictionaries I use for spell checking. I run the macro DicOOo.sxw and it installs the dictionaries to ~/openoffice.org1.9.104/user/wordbook . When I run openoffice as a normal user (which I always do), it ignores anything in that folder. It's only when I manually copy the .dic .aff files to /opt/openoffice.org1.9.104/share/dict/ooo that openoffice notices them and I can use them. Anyway to get OO to pay attention to what's in the homedirectory or to place them in the /opt.../share directory?

After running the Dic000 macro I restart OO. If I go to tools options language settings languages, I can see which dicts are installed because they have a checkmark next to them. If I look for, say, Catalan (the one I'm interested in) it's not checked. I'm not really interested in setting Catalan as the default language anyway. I do need to compose/edit a certain number of documents in Catalan so I create a template that does that. My template requires Catalan to be checked-off (i.e. installed) and up to now, the only way to do that is to copy (or move) the dic and aff files from my home openoffice directory to the appropriate one in /opt . I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're saying about this.

Laurent is correct: you install your language(s) and then restart OO. Then go to tools options language settings WRITING AIDS (and not Languages; that was my mistake) and there you see your new language checked off. I added a new language and now it works fine.
