[INFO] Live Mail mit OpenOffice nutzen (was: Open office 4.1.1)
Hallo, Ich habe eine Extension erstellt die die genannten Probleme umgeht und die Nutzung von Windows Live Mail mit OpenOffice ermöglicht, siehe: http://de.openoffice.info/viewtopic.php?f=24p=250211#p250211 Die Extension ist im Moment nur zum Testen gedacht, der produktive Einsatz wird nicht empfohlen.

Hello, As a great user in France of all the Open Office products, I am experiencing problems with the update, and am currently using the 4.1.0 edition. Every time I click to open or create a document, I'm invited to update to 4.1.1. When I try to do so and am connected to an official page, I'm invited to spend 4.5 euros for a first activiation code, then another 4.5 euros for a second one. The numbers to which I had to send a texto and the codes received were 1) 83020 for code MQYQYJ and 2) 81221 for code MUARQJ. Both of these numbers also invited me to pay for a game (I did not). The telephone number provided for assistance on the first code is 0821610753 (France). The email provided for assistance with the second code was c...@smsinf.net. If this is open source and free, why does the Open Office icon connect me to Source Forge which appears to be an official OPen Office page, requiring payment of a total of 9 euros ? Is Apache aware of the problem? I should be automatically connected to an official page, not to Source Forge, unless it's also an official Apache site. I will add that after all these manipulations - and COSTS-, I still am at the 4.1.0 edition whereas I followed the procedure a third time and was told that the update had been downloaded successfully. What is happening with Open Office and why did I have to spend money for 2 useless activation codes ? Thanks for a quick answer. In addition, I'm willing to help improve Open Office products - but at no cost ! Rosemarie Brisciana
Re: Activation codes
Never will openoffice ask you a fee. Immediately, uninstall the software, browse to http://openoffice.org and download the real package.

Rosemarie Brisciana If you download through www.openoffice/org/download You will be automatically redirected to SourceForge servers, on whose world-wide network of servers the OpenOffice files are stored. Your download should then start automaticaly in five seconds, without need to click on any other links. A genuine OpenOffice does not - repeat, NOT! - ask for any payment or require any activation code. If this is happening, your computer's integrity has been compromised, perhaps by an earlier download from an unofficial source or by some form of Trojan or browser hijacker. If you are unable to obtain an uncontaminated version of OpenOffice from the above source, please run an indepth antivirus and malware check. For Malware detection, MalwareBytes is well regarded (Google for it). Then come back to this list with details of your operating system (windows, Mac ... etc) and the language version you require and we'll give you a direct download link. -- Rory O'Farrell ofarr...@iol.ie - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
What is environment variable to set openoffice user config file in $HOME/.openoffice/4?
Hi, I am running openoffice in a CentOS 6, it tried to create a configuration directory .openoffice/4 under the binary source directory and got permission issues as I cannot access /usr/lib64/openoffice.org4/program/.openoffice/4. It should be in $HOME/.openoffice/4, how can I set the environment value to let the program create the configuration directory under the user home directory?

Re: Your ad on my computer
Then i thinks its a good idea to tell this story to your firends and warn them about this sites like www . freedownload.openoffice. com (and how they all called). the same problem with modified versions exists with other popular programs like VLC Player (official videolan.org) and i know people how infected there pcs with maleware by downloading from one of this other sites. tell your friends: be aware of this unofficial crap webpages and look for official its a little bit of learning (dont just click on first page google offer) but it helps also beeing more focused while surfing in the web (we all know how amny viruses spread per email, just because the people have to click every mail) greetings

Re: Your ad on my computer
Hello Paul I Thinks its a good idea to tell your friends about THIS story and warn them about this unofficial websites like www. downloadfree.openoffice. com (and how they all called) which are spreading maleware! the same problem occures with other popular OSS like VLC Player. My advise: Tell and warn your friends about the unofficial sites which build maleware in the programms so that they learn to just download from offical sites! It also helps to teach the people surfing focused in the web and not clicking just the first page google offer them. We all know why thousands of viruses spread per email in last decades: Because people clicking on everything without thinking and checking. greetings

However, in one of these “shutdowns”, I lost all info on 2 spreadsheets that I was using. Now when I open these spreadsheets, a get a Grey Box stating : Text ….The name of my file Character Set UNICODE Default Language English (Australian).

Alexandro - Thank you for that reminder. It caused me to check my save settings and I noted with horror that I had left the saving interval setting at the default 15 minutes. Fortunately I have not yet had an issue, but I was very glad to correct the interval before having an issue.

It is very difficult to edit the result of a converter that is only 80% correct. Letters run together--frequently--producing other letters and signs. l becomes 1 , lower case letters become upper, or sometimes numbers--o 0--it's a mess. I did this on a 4 page file about 6 months ago, and I will order abbyyocr if I ever have to do it again! One of the editing problems is just finding the error.
