Strange behavior of 4.1.1. Math (file attached)

2015-02-19 Thread Yavor Marinov
Dear OO team,

Lately one of my superior got problems using the Calc part if your
product. They are using the function LOOKUP in rows in which the text is
not sorted in ascending or descending order the exact LOOKUP function is
not working. There is attached file with the exact situation. However,
if we try this in MS Office  the problem is non existent and we could
lineup all of the rows.

Any help, or further information will be much appreciated

You're using Thunderbird 31 and in this version the filters can't spot the 2nd 
delivered to field. This was discussed several months ago.

You need to upgrade to a later version. Mine work fine (34).

Hmm, how do you see that?
I checked his first message and there is:

Same for his second post BTW.
So I still think that he's still not subscribed.

Dear OO team,


There is no team here, in fact: just other users, like you.

So it's not my product.

 They are using the function LOOKUP in rows in which the text is 
not sorted in ascending or descending order the exact LOOKUP 
function is not working.


The help text makes very clear that this is not supported: ... the 
search vector for the LOOKUP must be sorted in ascending order, 
otherwise the search will not return any usable results. In 
addition, the Calc Guide says Use LOOKUP when: The search data is 
sorted in ascending order.



There is attached file with the exact situation.


To search unsorted lists, you need to use either HLOOKUP() or 
VLOOKUP() as appropriate.


However, if we try this in MS Office the problem is non existent and 
we could lineup all of the rows.


If you prefer Microsoft Office, I believe licences are available for 
purchase. But in any case, the Microsoft web site says about the 
Excel LOOKUP() function *Important* The values in _lookup_vector_ 
must be placed in ascending order. [...] If you do not do so, 
*LOOKUP* may not give the correct value. - which seems to contradict 
what you claim.



Any help, or further information will be much appreciated


Either:
o Sort your Reference table by column D

Or:
o Replace your formula
=LOOKUP($B$3;$D$5:$D$15;$E$5:$E$15)
with
=VLOOKUP($B$3;$D$5:$E$15;2;0)

I trust this helps.

No. Dragging the fill handle (not the cell boundary) is indeed one, 
often convenient way. But others are copying and pasting, as well as 
using Edit | Fill  | Down. For these, you will need to select the 
target range, but you can easily do that using click at one end and 
Shift+click at the other.


I am asking since the original file in question has a column of 300 
rows and using the mouse proved to be very very slow, but 
clean(C2:C300) did not work neither.


Actually, you can use formulae like that, where a function operates on a range:
o Select the first cell of the target range.
o Enter the formula.
o To complete the formula, don't press Enter or click the green 
arrow. Instead, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. The formula (visible in the 
Input Line) has now grown enclosing braces, as

{=CLEAN(C2:C300)}
- but note that you cannot type the braces yourself. This is called 
an array formula.


(By the way, I think I'd established that CLEAN() wouldn't work for 
you: three applications would be necessary to remove all five tab 
characters and you would still have the remaining space and 
non-breaking space to deal with if you wanted to process the values 
as numbers.)


I trust this helps.

Without more particulars as to what is happening it is difficult to

following from the Release Notes for version 4.0.1 gives the solution to
this issue.
 On recent versions of Mac OS X it might happen, especially after a

Re: ABC Spelling does not work

2015-02-19 Thread Jon Kurz
Dennis,

I think the Open Office spell check works.  Why I think it does not is when I 
use F7 or high light the word the whole sentence appears - not just the word in 
question.   When you move to the desired word all it says is word is not in the 
dictionary.  This form of spell check is really useless/worthless.  
I use to highlight the word or use F7 and if misspelled it would recommend a 
correct spelling for the word - which it no longer does.  I did our family tree 
a couple years ago and this was not only a time saver but also really 
appreciated.   Simply put - How in the heck do I get this method of spell 
check back??  Yahoo mail highlights misspelled words, I cannot figure out why 
Open Office cannot.  
Unrelated question:  What app do you down load to be able to email privately 
??

At one time I was advised to do the following to correct the problem - - I  
have no idea what a login name is or remember the name used 10+ years ago to 
log into windows.  I guess, in honesty, I have no idea how to proceed to solve 
my problem with these instructions.  I am a simple hands on person,  not a 
computer guru.o Close OpenOffice.

o If it is running, close the Quickstarter. Find its icon in the 
System Tray (bottom right of screen), right-click it, and select Exit 
or Quit or whatever.

o (Outside OpenOffice) go to My Documents (Windows Explorer) and navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\login-name\Application Data\OpenOffice\4
- where login-name is the name you use to log in to Windows. Note 
that Application Data is a hidden folder, so you will either have 
to enable the display of hidden folders or else type the name in 
yourself. One simple way is to get as far as C:\Documents and 
Settings\login-name, then put the cursor into the Address bar above 
the list at the end of the current display, type \Application Data 
(no quotes) and press Enter. Then you can easily continue to browse 
to ...\OpenOffice\4.
o Rename the user folder you find there (which contains the actual 
profile) in order to disable it. (Alternatively, you could just delete it.)
o Restart OpenOffice, which should create a clean copy of the profile for you.

 My understanding of your report is that the ABC toolbar buttons and the F7 
function key in OpenOffice Writer do not accomplish what you expect.

 1. Is it correct that these operations were successful at one time in the past 
and that since you have been updating, they no longer work?  Or has it never 
worked?

 2. Apache OpenOffice works on many different products and operating systems.  
Please provide 

 1. What kind of computer you are using.
 2. What the operating system and version are (e.g., Windows XP, Windows 8.1, 
Macintosh OSX, etc.)

 3. Have you added any writing tools (grammar checker, spell checker) other 
than those that are installed with your version of Apache OpenOffice?  Are you 
using the English version of Apache OpenOffice?

 4. When you install Apache OpenOffice do you accept the options that are 
provided during installation and not change anything?  Or do you customize the 
installation in some manner?

There is a common technique that often works.  It is called resetting the user 
profile.  That will have Apache OpenOffice rediscover the dictionaries and 
other settings.  It is sort of a power-user thing.  If you provide the 
information requested above, we can give you specific steps for doing that on 
your particular setup.

Maybe, as Andrew sugested in the list , the search and replace could be
the solution.

Try this.

First, select the column C
Call the search and replace option in the edit menu.
In Search box fill with \n\t\t\t\t\t..
In Replace box left empty

Click to open the more options
mark option Only in current selection (I'm using a spanish versión, so
I don't remember the correct words in english)
mark oprtion Regular expression

Click Replace all

The pattern \n\t\t\t\t\t.. correspond to the weird caracters in cells
of column C, if this pattern change, maybe this solution need a fix.


Try it, and we'll see.


SECOND VERSION..

Searching a little deep. I Found that you can use [:cntrl:] in search box, to 
erase all non printable characters. Doesn't matter if the pattern change.

Maybe this is the easy way to solution Uwe's problem.

Bye

Re: need help with a problem

2015-02-19 Thread Alexandro Colorado
OpenOffice is not a company, no offices, no phone. Is a community and a
project, you are free to use it, test it and distribute it.

You can also hire support from companies that do professional support for
it. They do have a phone number:
http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html

We would need more information in order to determine when and how does the
Freeze happens. It could be a third party application interrupting on the
closing process. Please give us the version of OpenOffice that you are
using, the current one is 4.1.1.

Nice idea. This removes the line break and the tab characters but 
sadly not the final space and non-breaking space.

Brian, are you sure. I've tested and only remain de values inside the

All nonprintable characters must be deleted.
