here a little experimentation confirms my impression the styles are not

I'm at 4.1.1.


Just to confirm my experience (in version 4.1.2 under Windows):

I created a new text document with new character, paragraph, and page 
styles and saved it as .odt. I even closed OpenOffice. Now I reopened the 
document, selected all, and copied and pasted into a new document. The new 
document showed all three custom styles. (A manual page break was not 
carried over, which confused the issue slightly, but the styles were all 
there.)


there must be some special condition differing between your and my setup. I 
may try to replicate your experiment exactly but not right this moment; 
maybe tomorrow.


I did repeat my experiment:
(a) open new document (OpenOffice 4.1.1 under Linux (Debian));
(b) check default style and applied style: just says 'default' and no 
'applied styles'
(c) take heavily formatted document and copy and paste a bit from it into 
the 'virgin' document.
(d) check default style and applied style: same as in (b); plus immediately 
obvious since the formatted document has 1.5 line spacing while 'virgin' is 
single-spaced.


there are differences between your experiment and mine; wouldn't have 
thought they'd make a difference ...


You talk of "default" style without saying whether you are talking of page, 
paragraph, or character styles.


sorry for being so unclear but I am talking about the field that 
appears when you press F11 which regulates a lot of the paragraphing 
including font style, etc.


It seems that the default paragraph style in particular is protected 
and not overwritten when material is copied in. But the process 
works perfectly well, it seems, with styles being automatically 
imported, if you use *custom* styles instead of modifying Default.


not sure I understand this. two remarks:

a) it sounds like you are saying that 'default' (via 'F11') will not 
be altered by copy and paste; if so, that's what I've observed.


b) it sounds like you are saying other customizations will be altered 
by copy and paste; if so, I have not found this to be so - I don't 
see them via 'F11' looking at 'applied styles' or at 'custom styles'.


I still haven't do your experiment but I intend to try it.

I probably have misunderstood you though. my apologies in advance; oh 
heck, I apologize for past misunderstandings too!

Sherl;
Direct access was removed in Version 4.1 as explained in the section of
the Version 4.1.0 Release Notes at the following link:
.
You can use Thunderbird's export facilities to create a csv file that
can then be imported into an AOO database for use as a data source for
your mailing labels by following the below.

1: Open your Thunderbird Address Book
2: Select the Address book you want to export
3: click Tools->Export
4: A window will open asking where and in what format to export to:
a)Save the file with a name and in a location easy for you to
remember as a comma separated (csv) file.
5: Close the Thunderbird address book window.
6: Open AOO
7: Click File->Wizards>Address Data Source..
a) Select Other external data source
b) Click Next
c) Click Setting's button
d) Select Test from the drop down list
e) Click Next
f) Click Browse button
1. Browse to the location you exported the file in step
   3
g) Click Next
h) Select comma separated value files
i) Click Finish
j) Click Field Assignment Button
k) Use the Drop down lists to map the fields in the data base
   to the fields in the csv file
l) The last screen will present a default location and name for
   new database.
a) Click finish to accept defaults
b) Change them
m) Click Finish
The database is now ready to be used as a data source to create your
mailing labels.

As a courtesy I have cc'd your e-mail address as you are not subscribed
to the mailing list. Please reply only to the list and not my e-mail.

wahrscheinlich war das nicht primär beabsichtigt, aber Deine Ausführungen machen
mir klar wie "Seite" zu verstehen war, wohingegen ich glaubte es handele sich um
die Seite des Textdokuments.

Ja, das Programm ist nun mal ein Textverarbeitungsprogramm, kein
Bildbearbeitungsprogramm. Aber hier

http://praxistipps.chip.de/openoffice-writer-eingefuegtes-bild-drehen-so-gehts_17280

ist eine Anleitung, wie Du das Bild drehen kannst.

Btw, warum das Bild im Quellordner aufrecht angezeigt wird, liegt
vermutlich daran, dass Du (oder jemand anderes) es über die
Windows-Foto-Anzeige mal angeschaut und darin gedreht hat. Windows merkt
sich das, aber eben nur für die Fotoanzeige und die Thumbnails. Wirklich
/gedreht/ (aka abgespeichert) wird es dabei aber nicht.

Da kann ich Dir auch nciht weiter helfen.

Problem with Address Book Data Source Wizard

[BL- Entertainment]

Hello,

In Open off I went under File to Wizard and then Address Data Source. I 
selected Thunderbird and clicked next but instead of going forward I received 
the following error message:

"The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC 
driver was found for the given URL."

Then I click on more and get the following:
"SQL Status: HY000
The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC 
driver was found for the given URL."
"A connection for the following URL was requested "sdbc:address:thunderbird"."

Can you please tell me how to fix this? Are is there a different way I can use 
my contact list to create mailing labels?

Please help,
Sherl

Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Delete 
or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

The loss of your spellcheck facility most probably occurred because you were 
over hasty in powering off the computer before the OO housekeeping was fully 
finished. To prevent it happening again, always power the computer down after 
using the correct shutdown procedure and wait for all disk activity to finish - 
a matter of a few extra seconds to be certain.

Spell check problem

[Katy Fletcher]

Hi there, I have been using Open Office for many years without any problems.  
For some reason today when I have tried to use it the whole of my dictionary 
appears to have been wiped out so when spell checking every word is being 
picked up as being wrong.  It is set to English UK language and I have over the 
years added a great deal of medical terminology.  Even simple words seem to 
have been removed.  Can you please help me get this set back to how it was 
yesterday please?  I have not changed any settings or anything else so I do not 
know what has gone wrong.  Can you please help?  Many thanks
