Language packs must be installed alongside a full version (they only add 
a new language). See http://www.openoffice.org/download/full_vs_lp.html 
; so, my recommendation is to download the full version from the 
official site http://www.openoffice.org and make sure it is installed 
properly before installing a language pack.

Open Office vs MS Office

2014-07-14 Thread Senior.System Analyst
Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly provide us your comments for the following at the earliest.
(a) Formatting (color size, shapes, etc.) may change once MS word document is 
opened in Open Office.
(b) Sometimes behaviour of open office is uncertain when using Smart Art & Word 
Art styles (of MS Power point, excel).
(c) Animation of MS Powerpoint slides does not always work as desired in Open 
Office.
(d) Although macros are supported in Open Office but the Macros created using 
MS Office cannot be executed in Open Office.
(e) Some of the features that are easily available in MS Office could not be 
found in Open office such as;-
 (i) Spelling / Grammer check
 (ii) View files side by side with Synchronous scrolling
 (iii) Converting the impress document into PDF results in the printing of all 
hidden slides too. But in MS Office, the hidden slides are not printed even 
when it is converted into PDF.

An early reply will highly be appreciated.

Me three on getting these odd missives.  Show up about every three weeks,
and despite the text, no "bounced messages" are ever attached.

Very odd.

Le 14/07/2014 04:53, Craig Weidhuner a écrit :

My name is Craig Weidhuner, I've downloaded Open Office 4.1.0 for Windows
8.1 and have been using the writer.  The spell checker seemed to keep
setting the default language to English USA and every time I open a file I
have to keep reseting it to English Canada.  I can add new words to the
dictionary but every time I open the file it highlights those words as
spelling errors until I perform a spell check.  Once that is done, only
then does the program seem to recognize these words.  Also several times
the spell checker seems to freeze and says the program is not responding.
  Now it's suddenly telling me all my words are spelled incorrectly and when
I do a spell check it seems I have to add each word back into the
dictionary.  I've looked at the forums but all the posts either have the
same questions over and over again with no answer, or answers which make no
sense to me, I admit I'm not very tech savy and all these "open file X and
rename this and that" just confuse me.  Is there anyone who can help?  I
appreciate any help you can offer.

Regards

Craig

RE: A broken link on your website

2014-07-14 Thread Maurice Howe
If we'd all make a habit of using mixed case (upper/lowercase) for usernames
and web addresses, there's be much less confusion and errors.  For example,
"L10N" is much easier to understand that "l10n".  All Internet Service
Providers handle mixed case just fine.

Cheers, Maurice

It is fine to report broken links here (on the users list). But 
unfortunately http://www.openoffice.org/my/ is completely outdated. Only 
the "we need your help" note is up-to-date.

We welcome volunteers to fix that page and possibly to complete the 
Burmese translation of OpenOffice. If you believe you (or someone you 
know) can help, just write the l10n mailing list as explained at the 
link above.

The rest of the page is so outdated that I'd rather remove it than 
fixing the broken links. So if you have suggestions on what to keep, 
just let us know.

Frequent crashes

My OO is frequently crashing. Sometimes programme just shuts down. Other times 
it just freezes especially when I try saving a new Word doc.

I updated my profile as instructed in a troubleshooting thread and it 
eliminated the problem for about two months. 

Now the issues have returned. Do I have to keep updating my profile or is there 
another solution?

I am using Windows 8.1
