docx default change

[Joebrann]

This morning I updated to your new version 4.1.2.  Apparently that new  
version is opening by default all of my .docx files. I do not want to  use 
OpenOffice to open these type files. Can you please send me the  directions to 
undo this default.
 
Also recently I opened a former Lotus 1-2-3 file and saved it in  
OpenOffice. Now when I open that file all the words are underlined in red.   
The file 
has over 1045 lines in it.  Is there any expedient way to add all  the red 
underlined words into the spread sheet dictionary?
 
thanks

Unsubscribe is easy as well, all you need to remember is the email address you

And how is a macro aware of the original email address used with the 
subscription?

You click the link in the bottom of an email from the list: To unsubscribe, e-mail: 
users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org


Send the email.
Reply to the confirmation notice you receive.

You need a class to do that???

It is the same process you followed to subscribe to the mailing list.

Oh, and after confirming your subscription to the mailing list you receive an email telling how 
to unsubscribe as well as other information about the list.


It ain't rocket science. No class required unless one is a complete idiot, in which case a 
class would not likely be useful.

Not when the link you click to unsubscribe, transfers the TO address in

I am sort of new here, and I won't pretend to know much, but it seems that
it would be nice if someone with more skill than I have could set up a
Wiki, that way anyone could sign in who wants to, they could quit when they
wanted to, not show up if they don't want to. Contribute if they want to.
I won't pretend to know all that it would require, but it is just an idea
from something I was reading about connected to another project that I am
working with.

Re: Download not successful - request your assistance. Also, do I select "Yes" or "No" for making changes to my laptop? Is there a way that you can download and run/setup for me.

You should download and install OpenOffice on the new computer.
The only site from which OpenOffice should be downloaded is
http://www.openoffice.org/download

This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will start 
in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT click on 
anything else).

One can verify (and should verify) that the downloaded file is as it left the 
code factory by the methods described in
Apache OpenOffice - How to verify the integrity of the downloaded file?

As OO is opensource, many sites manipulate search engines so that they come 
high on the hit list, and compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it 
with spurious offers of support.

We recommend downloading only from the above site and carrying out the 
integrity check before installing.

If installing a download from the above site Windows prompts for allowing 
changes,  you should answer "yes".

OpemOffice is a volunteer driven project where we give of our time on a pro 
bono basis; there are no provisions for remote intervention from this project 
on your computer whether for downloading or installation.

If you are in doubt about any of the download/installation steps, you should 
seek local informed help - often a computer informed student will be pleased to 
assist.

FYI, there is open source code for viri, and similar malware.  As such,
even they might potentially benefit from tax credits.

The math was way off, the point wasn't. Most mail lists have unsubscribe 
links that aren't so problem prone.
What would be much better is a blog, with mail notification of responses 
to one's post. That way people would
get answers to their question, with out all the NOISE, and it would be 
easier to form a data base of queries.


Support is the most important part of any software project, be it open 
source or not. If volunteers of this project

want it to be successful, they must get their act together.

Tax credits for contributions to open source software is the answer.

What is exactly, "the problem" and what do you propose to fix it?
I dont see anything different in the way this mailing list works
compared with others.

No one can help users who cannot READ the automatic notification they
get after requesting to unsubscribe. Without this
verification/clicking step, anybody could unsubscribe anybody else
from the list. That's the way mailing lists work.

To me the problem seems to be people who join a mailing list without
knowing what a mailing list is or how it works. Tha's why I suggested
we make it clear on the subcription page that a mailing list involves,
gee, receiving questions and answers from lots of stranges, to your
email inbox. I even proposed changing the wording from "mailing list"
to "discussion list"

I (and others) have yelled for years about this.  The "unsubscribe" things
is taking WAY too much time and resource.  It's easily (in theory, anyway)
fixed: just build a macro with the req'd steps -- one that's generalized &
easily executed -- and end this nonsense once for all.

The Community Forum, although a bit more organized and curated, might be along 
the lines you are thinking of:
.

There is also a Wiki, although it is not so crowd-sourced as the original wiki 
idea,
.

It turns out that wikis do have to be curated by someone in order to be 
organized in a way where others can find their way in, etc.

- Registry sichern und dann nach openoffice-Einträgen durchsuchen und
  diese löschen, dann OO 4.1.2 installieren oder
