o Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | General | Input settings.
o Against "Press Enter to move selection" (which should be ticked), 
select Right instead of Down from the drop-down menu on the right.


I trust this helps.

You can design your form by pen and paper first.
Write sensible text so we know your intention.
We can suggest better tools.

Now I have to check each extension separately.



This is specific of your installation. OOOP is is an extension that 
defines its own update feed (i.e., independent of the Extensions site) 
and the developer is responsible for making it available. By mere 
coincidence, both OOOP and the Extensions site appear to be hosted at 
SourceForge, but they are unrelated. So the responsibility to fix this

In Writer, right-click on the picture that you've inserted into the

Experiment with the different options. You may also want to experiment

Are  you using Direct Formatting (a la MS Office) or are you using Styles, as 
one should in OpenOffice?  I have been using OpenOffice with styles since 2007 
for a number of extended works (100KB words, typically) and have never lost 
formatting.

Copy/Paste Issue

[Krista . Ranglack]

Good Morning!

My users seem to be having some troubles with the copy/paste functions in 
OpenOffice 4.1 Calc. We recently upgraded our systems to Windows 7 (some 
are still on XP) - it is the WIN7 users experiencing these issues. I have 
ruled out the OS as the issue. I did so, by running a clipboard viewer as 
the users were copy/pasting, and the clipboard received the correct data, 
but Calc did not. The users copy data from another application (which has 
been ruled out as well as the issue), then they paste the data in the Calc 
spreadsheet. So for example, the user copies the word "cat", its pastes 
fine in Clac, then the user copies the word "dog", and it still pastes 
"cat", even though the clipboard shows "dog" as the last and most recent 
item copied. The users have used the keyboard shortcuts for this, as well 
as right-clicking and selecting the appropriate commands. I have been over 
many forums on this issue, and have seen several people also complaining 
about this same issue. I can provide more information about our network 
environment if that helps you? Not sure what other information you require 
though. 

The issue has been on-going for about a month now - and I have yet to 
resolve this myself. Hence, why I am turning to your support now for 
further assistance. I am happy to also set up a remote session with you as 
well to one of the users experiencing this issue to demonstrate this 
issue.

Is there anything you could suggest/offer in resolution to this issue? 
Please advise. 


Regards,

Please do not do that, better rotate by 180 degree. Flip vertical means 
that the text is mirrored vertically. This is not visualized currently, 
but in later offic versions this will be possible and will be done.

A little elementary arithmetic helps here: 90 degrees + 90 degrees =

The rotations the questioner is talking about - in paragraph styles - 
cannot be applied cumulatively, of course. So your arithmetic, whilst 
unimpeachable, is surely of no help? I don't see any way to rotate a 
frame (which can accept fields) in a text document; what am I 
missing, please? You can create a text box or paste in one created in 
Draw and you can rotate this, but then I find (as he suggests) that 
you cannot insert the fields.

I'm guessing here, but I suspect you can do what you need using two 
paragraph styles - or, probably more easily, two character styles 
(or just different character formatting) - using 90-degree rotation 
for one part of each label and 270-degree rotation for the other. 
You could do that in frames or, possibly more easily, in table 
cells. It may help to rethink your page orientation as landscape 
instead of portrait or vice versa.


It is much easier to do in DRAW. You can create a text box, enter 
the text then find the "effects" button at the bottom of the screen. 
One of the options will be "rotate", click that and when you put 
your cursor at the corner of the box you will be able to rotate it 
to whatever angle you wish. Then it is an easy matter to create 
another box and put it at 180 degrees.


But the questioner wants to populate the labels using fields. Can you 
get database fields into a Draw text box - even when pasted into a 
text (Writer) document? I can't.

A little elementary arithmetic helps here: 90 degrees + 90 degrees = 180 
degrees. Rotate the frame twice at 90 degrees.

Re: Using fields for frame or draw object in writer

It is much easier to do in DRAW. You can create a text box, enter the 
text then find the "effects" button at the bottom of the screen. One of 
the options will be "rotate", click that and when you put your cursor at 
the corner of the box you will be able to rotate it to whatever angle 
you wish. Then it is an easy matter to create another box and put it at 
180 degrees. Hope this helps.

I'm guessing here, but I suspect you can do what you need using two 
paragraph styles - or, probably more easily, two character styles (or 
just different character formatting) - using 90-degree rotation for 
one part of each label and 270-degree rotation for the other. You 
could do that in frames or, possibly more easily, in table cells. It 
may help to rethink your page orientation as landscape instead of 
portrait or vice versa.


I trust this helps.

If the objective is to rotate the text within the frame, then I'd
suggest using a Drawing text frame. From F1/Help:



The last is probably your best option as you can then enter 180 degrees
& the test will rotate accordingly.
