How is the sum of a highlighted column inserted?
In Quatro-Pro there was an icon to put a column sum formula in the last highlighted cell. The Calc help file says to click on the summation Icon only there isn't one on the toolbar and I couldn't find a way to insert it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

OOo 3.x A couple of month ago there was a heated dispute about introducing incompatible changes for extensions in the addons.xcu (for negligible benefit). One of the arguments meant to silence the critics was: Well, it's no problem because we have an update mechanism for extensions. I expressed doubts if the update mechanism would work. Now it turns out I was wrong. I shouldn't have worried about the update mechanism. Without migration, users will have to find and reinstall all of their extensions anyway "by hand". May be I should have said: "Until now, nobody prefers to migrate extensions from AOO 3.4.x resp. OOo 3.x". The current update mechanism for extensions simply looks for a newer version of the extension by use of a link provided by the extension developer himself. We did that for our extension, but didn't have to make use of it until now. OO developers decided not to take into account compatibility issues caused by introducing incompatible changes in addons.xcu. OK, so we have to deal with it. To prevent any trouble for our customers, we could very likely have provided an automatic update, so that an end user wouldn't have noticed any problem at all after a successful migration. Now OO developers are about to make it impossible for extension developers to simply provide an automatic update before or after the migration to AOO 4.0. Without migrating extensions, there is no automatic update path anymore. Great user experience! Great experience for extension developers and support folks! I remember much talk about the "eco system of AOO" on this mailing list. Is this what the talk was about? I tried to get involved certain people on this topic. I had send my intial post to dev@o.a.o and users@o.a.o. Sorry, that I did not include api@o.a.o as I assumed that extension developers are looking at dev@o.a.o. The intention of this thread was not to present facts regarding the development. It is meant to show on what I would like to work on for AOO 4.0 regarding the migration of the user profile and to get feedback on it. (BTW, I had already started a discussion thread in January 2013 regarding the migration of the user profile - see thread "[IMPORTANT, DISCUSS]: no migration/use of former user profile with AOO 4.0".) I used terms like "I would like to ...", "My current preference is ..." and "I need support and help ..." - I am not presenting facts. I explicitly ask for help for these tasks. I got no response and no feedback from users@o.a.o. I was disappointed about it, because it means that nobody from users@o.a.o seems to be interested to help/support me. From dev@o.a.o I only got feedback about the risks of a user profile migration and that nobody prefers a migration of the extensions. I have taken your feedback as not constructive criticsm. Your feedback sounds like that I decided that extensions will not be migrated. That is not the case. Earlier in January I already started a similar discussion - see above mentioned thread. Here, no strong preferences regarding the migration of extensions were given. In this thread I expressed my willingness to work on the migration of the user profile (which also contains the user installed extensions), otherwise nothing will be migrated as stated in January. As this is not a one-person show I asked for help and support. The only feedback I got was that a migration might be risky and no one has preference to migrate extensions. Then I got your feedback which more or less killed my motivation to work on the migration of the user profile. May be you are volunteering to support me as you seem to be interested in a working migration of the user profile? Best regards, (a disappointed) Oliver. more comments inline.

That was when we saw spell checking breaking, missing dictionaries, and crashes. One of the nice things about a "clean start" with AOO 4.0 was that we avoid these kinds of problems. From my point of view AOO 3.4.x users which had problems due to a "messy" profile and had solved these problems, can migrate their profile to AOO 4.0. AOO 3.4.x users which does not had solved their problems are able to suppress the migration of their existing profile - see the corresponding FirstStartWizard page for the

Re: openoffice.org problem
This error message is related to your profile in fact. When a user runs AOO, there is a lock file in the user profile to prevent such situation. At the root of the user profile (see http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 ), in the \3 folder, there should be a .lock file. Just delete it.

Openoffice Base Feature
Hi, This information may only relate to Open Office Base software. I use it every day and it's the only open office application I use. It works 100% of the time and makes my life easier, thank you. I didn't notice anyone mentioning it, so I wanted to write this email for some time. Since version 2.4.0 when you click in the record search box, search for text box the contents of the field are not selected. With version 2.4.0 when you open the dialog box, the contents of the field are selected. This makes editing easy. I tried the newer versions, and keep going back to version 2.4.0 just because of the feature. If you ever put back the functionality of the text box, I would like to support the project moving forward. Thank you for considering it. I also mention it in the hope you will continue to support 2.4.0. In case you're just sitting around waiting for user feedback, one day it would be nice to be able to copy and paste append a record also, but I can imaging that's a tricky one.
