Apart from the fact that you bought the CD from someone else, you don't 
tell us how you have tested the software
and what the defects are. Apache OpenOffice has never said that it is 
100% compatible with MS Office it only can do the same tasks but more 
structured and better (if you take the time to learn the beast).

If you file a bug report, those incompatibilities might be fixed.
If those defects are not artefacts of the MSO file format, of which
there are a number of known examples, they can be fixed.
The major exception is whether something that conforms to the file
format standards, specifications, and criteria, as issued by Microsoft,
should be changed from what they say, to what Microsoft does.

In as much as Apache OpenOffice is offered gratis by The Apache
Foundation, any 100% money-back guarantee would be, under United States
law, "advertising puffery". This "advertising puffery" exemption exists
for The Apache Foundation, precisely because they distribute their
products gratis. If goods are gratis, there is no money to be refunded,
and hence any money-back guarantee is an obvious and blatant exaggeration.

Take that up with the vendor of the CD, which was neither Apache
OpenOffice, nor The Apache Foundation.

Take that up with the vendor of the books, which was neither Apache
OpenOffice, nor The Apache Foundation.

You did not have to buy OpenOffice.  It's a free download from
www.openoffice.org.  However, there are some who sell CDs.  You
apparently bought from one of them and you'll have to get a refund from
them.

Re: importing xml file into calc

2015-05-05 Thread Regina Henschel

Hi Mariya,

what kind of xml is it? There exists already some filters and perhaps 
one of them will open your file. Or you will find an existing filter in 
an extension.


Are you forced to use xml or do you can get another format, e.g. csv, as 
well?



Mariya Belyaeva schrieb:

Hello,
last seven days I've been trying to import my xml file into the open office 
calc programme. It's my first experience with open office products and I don't 
have any programming skills. I know I have to write a XSLT filter to import the 
xml file as noticed in the following link
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=51387&highlight=xml

But the thing is I cannot find a good step-by-step-documentation which would 
help to write create the filter and embed it into the calc file and then to 
open my xml document in calc. The particular questions are:



If you really need an own filter, then you would not embed it into the 
Calc file, but add it to your OpenOffice via Tools > XML Filter Settings 
> New



-what do I have to do to begin with


You would need to learn writing XSLT. That is independent of OpenOffice.


-what editor I have to use to write my filter


You can use every editor, which can write in encoding utf-8. But of 
cause you will looking for a editor which give you some comfort. Which 
one is suitable, depends on your operating system.



-how can I test it


Tools > XML Filter Settings has a "Test" button, but I have never used 
it, because I do not write my own filters.



-could you provide some examples of filters
and so on.


You can look into existing filters, for example the "Ms Excel 2003 XML" 
filter in OpenOffice>\share\xslt\import\spreadsheetml\spreadsheetml2ooo.xsl




Could you please provide me a precise documentation for open office 4.1.1. calc 
 or assist  me on this issue?


OpenOffice 4.1.1 Calc implements the standard ODF 1.2. You find the 
documentation in https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#opendocumentv1.2 
and especially, for the grammar, the schema 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-schema.rng


There exist some small additions, but you can handle them later.

Kind regards
Regina

Hi Herman,

Your e-mail has reached the public mailing list for users of Apache
OpenOffice, which is open source software. It is developed collaboratively
and made available to all without charge through http;//
openoffice.org/download/ . Whoever you paid is unrelated to this project
and community. If they have represented themselves differently, it's
possible you have been defrauded although I've insufficient information to
make a judgement.

I recommend you contact the consumer protection service for the state where
you live and ask for advice on how to recover any money you have paid.
Sadly we are unable to help you beyond giving this advice.

I am an individual member of the Apache OpenOffice community, responding to
your message in a personal capacity, and you should reply to the list
address (users@openoffice.apache.org) rather than to me personally if you
have further questions, such as about file compatibility and steps you
might take to improve fidelity.

Best regards,

Simon

Dave, Don't try and reinvent the wheel ;)
Take an existing template say:
http://templates.openoffice.org/en/template/2015-calendar
and adapt it to your own requirements.

Re: Problem

If you have files that cause a crash them perhaps you can open a bug report and 
attach your files... I routinely have far more than two files open with no 
problems.

Hi,

I know your product is free but it’s taking the mickey being so bloody useless. 
When I have 2 excel files open at the same time it crashes. Then it uses the 
recovery feature but doesn’t recover the file to where it crashed only to the 
last save therefore its not a recovery is it!!! As I have to start all over 
again. Sort the act out please and get it corrected.
