Re: [Issue 127072] dictionary is installed but contains no words

[Kay sch...@apache.org]

There's a patch that might fix this associated with issue 126762:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126762

This has already been applied to trunk some time ago. Since the Win
nightly buildbot is now working-- https://ci.apache.org/builders/aoo-win7,

Maybe someone would like to test this?

Results can be found at:

This whole "spellchk" & "delete profile" is utter nonsense.  Surely,
SURELY!, AOO is smart enough to handle this with a simple macro.  Maybe
even with a "tab" pointing to the macro.

This "*spellchk is busted*" mess has gone on long enough.  Garden variety
users shouldn't be burdened with this crap.  I'm not bright enough to write
such a macro, but I'll bet 60 or 100 (10,000?) other users/developers are.

I did a quick test applying a somewhat 'stylized' template to a pretty 
simple (minor formatting) document and to all appearances it seems to 
have worked.


the template has a page header and footer, the footer has text for the 
title and top and bottom borders and page numbering; header has a 
place-holder where the title of the section would appear (if the 
simple document had a section title; paragraphing is now 1.5 line 
spacing.


yes, seems formatting has been carried over.

it is version 4.1.1; template changer is at 1.2.6. I have not checked 
for updates to the latter.

Hi Keith,

To find the path to your profile do the following

Start OpenOffice

click tools->option

In the left pane of window that opens be sure that the entry OpenOffice is

expanded. If it isn't click the plus sign next to it.

Once it is expanded click paths

The right pane will show a list with the headings type path

The first entry should be AutoCorrect followed by a string.

EXAMPLE

AutoCorrect C:\Users\Keith
McKenna\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\autocorr

That string is the path into the OpenOffice profile.

Now open Windows Explorer and navigate through the path until you find the

OpenOffice folder.

From there follow the steps in the original link to reset the profile.



If you are stilling having difficulties resetting the profile. A better
place

to get help would be posting your question either the user mailing list at

mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org or the User Forum at

The program itself and the profile are separate. The instructions I gave

paths section of the preference window it should point you to the

The program itself and the profile are separate. The instructions I gave
you are to find the profile. If you follow the path given in in the
paths section of the preference window it should point you to the
profile folder. Can you type the full path for the Auto Correct entry
from your paths entry. Once we see that we should be able to help you
better with this issue.

FW: [Issue 127072] dictionary is installed but contains no words

[Katherine Todd]

Hi there,

I am contacting you as advised by Mr McKenna (see Below) during a discussion 
about an issue I’m having with Openoffice. I have followed Mr McKenna’s 
instructions regarding resetting the profile but I’m still having no luck – the 
pathway listed [under Paths Used by Openoffice] does not actually give the 
correct location for the program (see attached capture) – I have been unable to 
located the program data in order to reset the profile. It seems very strange 
to me that the program itself would identify a pathway that doesn’t exist...

[the original issue was that the English UK dictionary has been installed but 
appears to contain no words – when I run spellcheck it underlines every single 
word and has to suggestions)

I assume that this is something to do with Windows 10 as I have never had such 
an issue before and this is a relatively new laptop with Windows 10 installed.

If you can give any advice on how to reset the profile in windows 10 or on any 
other way to get the spellcheck working I would be extremely grateful!  This 
request is urgent, I need to be able to spellcheck job applications to be 
submitted asap.

Many many thanks!

To find the path to your profile do the following
Start OpenOffice
click tools->option
In the left pane of window that opens be sure that the entry OpenOffice is
expanded. If it isn't click the plus sign next to it.
Once it is expanded click paths
The right pane will show a list with the headings type path
The first entry should be AutoCorrect followed by a string.
EXAMPLE
AutoCorrect C:\Users\Keith McKenna\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\autocorr
That string is the path into the OpenOffice profile.
Now open Windows Explorer and navigate through the path until you find the
OpenOffice folder.
From there follow the steps in the original link to reset the profile.

If you are stilling having difficulties resetting the profile. A better place
to get help would be posting your question either the user mailing list at
mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org or the User Forum at
http://forum.openoffice.org/

If you are using Windows and require absolute presentation compatibility with 
MS Powerpoint, download and use the free MS Powerpoint viewer from the MS site.

using Impress

[Kate Horsburgh]

As a small charitable organisation we are looking to download an office
package for our new laptop that will support group users and speakers.

My main concern is to have a presentation programme that will fully support
visiting speakers pre-prepared presentation, which, for the most part, are
on Microsoft PowerPoint.


I have heard that with Impress the formatting is a bit different,so that
when it loads a PowerPoint file it loads it in a different default font,
and the text runs off the slide.


Your comments would be useful in helping us make a decision.
many thanks
