Hello, I think this came to me bye mistake, I have never sent you an email asking Why are you sending me this To begin with I know I signed up for it and I like to read the info in them and second I would never ever swear in an email to you or to anyone else. It is something I do not do it is wrong for anyone to talk or write like that. So I don't know who sent that message to you, but you responded to the wrong email address it was not me. Also the other point is that I was in New Hampshire Friday to Monday and I wasn't even on my email on Sunday. So it never even could have been me on Sunday that wrote that.

Hi, with the explicit wording you have used in your mail I doubt that you are qualified to write about netiquette. Besides that, this is not a matter of netiquette, it's a matter of how the mailing list software works. The ML software of OOo works as it works, and I know other project where it works in the same way. That doesn't mean that it is perfect, but OTOH it's easy to understand and you are told how it works in every mail you receive. Being able to read is a clear advantage that you shouldn't abandon. Nevertheless, in case you are unable to read or follow the advice in the mail footer for whatever reason, usually kind people would help to unsubscribe you in case you asked politely. In case you know what polite means. Maybe you don't understand what I have written above. So let me translate it into your language: You showed a typical example of making a fool of yourself by choosing an inadequate communication style: why make it simple if you can fuck it up? I don't care who has registered in your name or with your account of how that has been done, I have a very poor opinion of you and that's that. Please apologize if my translation lacks the elegance of your own wording, my knowledge of your language is somewhat limited.

Nettiquette also demands, that you use a civil tone in your messages. If you idiot cannot unsubscribe yourself, than so be it. For subscription you have to confirm that you want to subscribe, so it is impossible that someone else has subscribed you - unless you've given your mail password to someone else. But this would be - in my opinion - exceptionally stupid. And yes, I know, that I didn't use a civil tone here as well, but only because you called me an asshole twice before, which I don't like.

[SNIP] I would have to second Tim's statement: I would be lost without it and the OOo team. Although I have only written 2 novels with it (one in negotiation, one sold months ago, still waiting to be published [so I'm told] as soon as the economy improves... Oh for more spare time), together with others at my office, we we have written around 2,000 technical documents ranging from a few pages to over 2500. And by the way, some of them are sufficiently complex that they invariably crash MS word. We adopted the OASIS formats years ago (originally under StarOffice, later OOo) when it was clear that they would be around for a long time and were NOT a closed, intentionally obfuscated, proprietary set of formats lacking any published specifications, a standard which seems to change without warning at the whim of a single, intractable corporation whose sole motive seems to be profit at the expense of the integrity, preservation, and long-term use or reuse of information. I'm not knocking profit as a motive -- quite the opposite. However, try taking an MS Word 2.0 document and putting it on your windows 7 machine with the latest and greatest release of office on it. You can't. Case closed.

[www-discuss] Re: [discuss] Hello
Dear Sebagabo: Thus type of question should be sent to the [users] email list. the [discuss] list is for the promotion of Open office, rather than for user help questions. Likewise for other How to questions, as I am sure you will have ongoing. Best of luck with open office. After you have it installed in XP, you will need Version 1.8 or higher of Dic00o.sxw to install Guatemalan Spanish. Future caution: Once you have run DIC00o.sxw, reboot immediately before continuing to avoid other problems! When the machine has restarted, you will be OK to continue. Also, in your part of the world, I would recommend the added use of an adequately sized UPS, such as from American Power conversion to protect against damage from electrical power disruptions, brown-outs etc. as well as assuring adequate cooling.

[The OP (ntage...@yahoo.ca) is not subscribed and will probably not see responses unless directly copied.] Are you really asking whether you can open files that were created under older versions of Office, or whether OpenOffice.org is available for older Windows operating systems? In both cases, the short answer is yes. But the details differ. In general, OOo can open all the Office file formats, though there are sometimes formatting differences that are typically fairly easy to correct. If you want OOo to be used automatically on these files when you double-click them, you can change the file associations -- usually by right-clicking on a file of each of the Office types, choosing Open With, and browsing to soffice.exe, then setting the option to always use this program. For older operating systems, there are system requirements for memory and so on that may make newer versions of OOo too demanding, but older versions suitable for those systems are still available. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-h...@openoffice.org

When I try to load the file OpenOffice asks me for an ASCII Filter. Is there anything I can do, to save my work? Can I send the file to anyone who might be able to fix it? you could try the following: - First, make a copy of your file and work only with the copy. :) - Second, rename your file to something like myname.zip. - Third, try to unzip this file with a program of your choice. - Fourth, look for the file content.xml in the newly created folder. - Fifth, you can now copy what is in the content.xml into a new document. This process means, that you have to redo the formatting, but at least you have your text saved. I really hope, that there is some more text than just '#'. Good luck.

A fine comment! Again, apologies for any annoyance caused by my off-key comments earlier. Despite appearances, I am not some raving anti-American, nor am I a 'BBC English' pedant.

To that end, localisations (localizations?) for any language with a lot of diversity (whether American, French, Spanish or whatever), is needed. It's a pain for developers, but it leads to a more accessible end-product.

In either case, though, I've never seen any reports of being unable to copy and paste.

This is usually done with a right-click on a file and choosing the Open With option, then browsing to the appropriate program. If you select the option to always use this program for this type of file, this only needs to be done once. If you set these associations to Word (supposing they are not already there), OOo will never try to open them unless you specifically direct it to, either by starting Writer and using File Open or by using the right-click option on the file to select Writer (but not as the default for all files of this type). *I manage meetings for the Charleston, SC Spinal Cord Injury Association, and there are many important documents that* *I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO RETYPE, since I can not copy and paste...

Little made me more angry when a student at the University of Glasgow than the telephone response when I called the Consulate in Glasgow: American Consulate. It was not and is not the AMERICAN Consulate. America includes Canada. America also includes Mexico, the Central American Isthmus nations, and the South American nations. There, English, where it is spoken, is a second language. But I digress. I agree with you entirely. There is a need for less US English centered language references in OO.o.

David, you complain about poorly educated U.S. people, unfortunately that is a situation that is unlikely to improve in the forseeable future due to a lack of funding for education here in the U.S.A.. I have always felt that our constitution should be amended to require that public schools be funded by statewide taxes and NEVER by local property taxes. As long as Schools are funded by property taxes only the rich will receive a quality education!

Indeed, if I was learning any version of English as a second language, I would probably learn American because (a) there is more standardisation in spellings and (b) the world is awash with American TV and movies. However, I am not American and my language is not American. I have lived with Americans and been utterly baffled in ordinary conversation. Likewise, I have baffled them. My language is UK English, with appropriate Irish-isms. I doubt if many people here call the stream at the end of their garden a sheuch, for example. Most other English speakers I have worked with view their language as more akin to UK than US English, especially in spellings. Of course Canadians have their own variations and are right to insist it's Canadian-English, rather than British-English (etc for NZ, Aussie, ZA, etc., variations). The Canadians I know are less confused by UK than by US conversation though. Maybe I only know a small sample of Canadians? My issue with the non-existance of the UK English installers is simple. I've been asked to do a one-click installer for a school in Africa, who have specifically asked that it be in UK English, Because we learned English from the British, not the Americans. We do not want to confuse children with American spellings on the software or to re-inforce Americanisms when we don't need to. I'm not American. If any distributor tells me I have a choice of American-English or no English, they are saying to me they are not interested in my business. I know Canadians who feel the same. When (for example), an interface tells me about spreadsheet 'formulas' and not 'formulae', I think the people responsible have forgotten the user.

OED uses Formulae as plural for a mathematical formula and Formulas for non-
mathematical formulas (scientific formulas, etc).
It's a complex issue. I do think the American rule for plurals (put an S on
the end, forget all
this Latin nonsense) is far more consistent.
However, my issue is not really spelling - it's grammar, idioms, etc.
Sentences that the
make perfect sence to my American friends do not make sense to me and I refuse
to try to
use their way of expressing myself unless I have to - simply because I am
likely to get it
wrong. I've had too many conversations with either me or them saying, What I
take from
that is, and one of us having mis-understood something seemingly simple.
And that is why I dislike the trend in software to lump all derivitives of the
language spoken
in England together or to assume that people in the UK (or Canada, NZ, SA, etc)
are
wannabe Americans.
So, having had a week of translating between American and British at work, and
seeing a
download link for OOo 3.3.0 English (UK) lead to a 404, I was understandably
disappointed. Being told Would American do for you instead was annoying.
However,
apologies if I sounded off-key in earlier posts.

There's English, as spoken in most Anglophone countries in a reasonably

for people learning English - but nonetheless, they are regional variations
most commonly used in USA.
Even my Canadian friends insist their language is 'English-UK' rather than

to work out whether more people wrote English(GB) or English(US) (which is in

To download the English(GB) version of OpenOffice.org you generally have to
wait a week or so for the maintainers of that version to pack it with the
appropriate help files and dictionaries etc. Then if you are like me, you
have to add the dictionaries for your local English version anyway. I have to
add the New Zealand English and Maori dictionaries. BTW i don't speak Maori,

I have two feature requests to make for the Graphics package as follows. 1) Automatic object rotation in 90, 180, 270 degrees ,respectively. I need to rotate objects in these angles often, but your program only allow manual rotation, which is rather difficult and not precise. I programed medical image processing software, and image rotation in these angles was the easiest to implement and useful too. Right click (assuming you're using Draw), pick 'position and size', select the rotation tab and enter the exact rotation you want. Or use the rotate tool and hold down shift to constrain the angle to multiples of 15 degrees. 2) Area assignment.. This feature may already be provided by your Graphics software but I cannot find it. Once an area is formed with multiple lines, I want to assign it as an area object so that it can be painted, made opaque, etc. This feature exists with Adobe Acrobat. Use the Curve tool to make a closed polygon. Right-click on it, select 'Area' and fill to your heart's content. If you already have this in the package, please point me to where it is. I recommend the help file as a useful starting point, otherwise if you Google for openoffice documentation you'll find a decent manual on the OOo web site (no doubt others can provide the exact address offhand).

The Text to Table operation creates a table from selected text, though. If you really do want to create text from a single row of a table, you can select the row, then cut or copy it, then paste somewhere outside the table.
