mail merge not working

[Jonathan BJ Hayes]

This is beyond frustrating.  I have watched every tutorial possible.  I have 
uninstalled open office multiple times to no avail.  All I am trying to do is a 
mail merge where I print out labels.  Every time I try this I take my open 
office spread sheet convert it into a open office database file but no matter 
what I do it does not recognize the tables and I can not do anything with the 
data.  WHY IS THIS?

Attached is the file I am trying to use.

Hi,
I am a young artist who needs word to do invoices and general use for business 
uses, can you tell me please:
1. is your downloadable free software legal, because you have to buy Microsoft 
Office?
2. Is it simple to download as I am not technologically minded at all.
Many thanks for your time,

RE: unoloader.jar missing

Hi Regina,

Was able to extract the jar from the cab file. My bad regarding OpenOffice

In an Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 the file unoloader.jar is located in the folder 
URE in the installation folder. In Apache OpenOffice 4.1 it is located in 
program/classes in the installation folder. You should be able to extract it 
from the *.cab file, in case you have not installed an Apache OpenOffice.

There does not exist an Apache OpenOffice version 5.

Kind regards
Regina

unoloader.jar missing

[Edwin Samuel Jonathan]

Hi,

I am from the ColdFusion team in Adobe. We are using OOSDK in our product. For 
some reason, unoloader.jar seems to have never been added from our side. And we 
never had an issue with it. After upgrading from Tomcat 8.0.x to 8.5.11, we are 
getting a Jar not found error in our logs. After doing some research, I found 
that ridl.jar had a dependency on unoloader.jar. The version of OOSDK which we 
are currently using is 3.3.0. I found the unoloader.jar online but only from 
version 5.x onwards. If we add the JAR to our project, it seems to be working 
fine. Could you confirm if Unoloader-5.2.0.jar is compatible with other jars of 
version 3.3.0? Or if it is not, is it possible to get the unoloader-3.3.0.jar 
anywhere?

Thanks and regards

Mac OS 10.12.3

[Jonathan Futrell]

Dear Open Office,
I have just bought a new Mac Pro with Sierra 10.12.3. Is your Open Office 
compatible with this? If so can you direct me to the correct link?
Can you also explain how come this is free? Will I be bombarded with ads and 
scam emails?
Many thanks,

Well, I've now asked the question, so hope to find out soon.  Perhaps
it is wrong to quibble over word-counts anyway in academic documents.
If you are having to shave words at that level of minutiae, then you
might have written too much.

 More pertinent to the original question, is how does the institution
 define word?

Probably as defined by the institution's preferred word processor or an
acceptable alternative.

Bit I have a suspicion we are starting (as many great threads do) to drift

Word Counts

[Jonathan Allen]

Hello List,

Can you help me with how the word counts are done?  Not what makes
up a word or a word-boundary - the 'help' told me that.  Footnotes
or endnotes.  Are the words in footnotes counted?  And does that
differ for the whole document when nothing is selected, or when a
block of text (including footnotes) is selected?

Re: Word Counts

[Jonathan Allen]

Rory,

 When text is selected the footnotes for that block are not counted.
 Otherwise they are, and their number in the footnote seems to be
 counted as a word. But don't rely on the word count matching that
 of MS Word.

Thank you so much for that.  It's a good start.  Two follow on questions:

  1. does LibreOffice work with the same rules?

  2. from an academic point of view, if a word-count limit is set for
 a document, would you expect a best-effort count in OO to be an
 excuse for being a tad over in MS Word?

I apologize in advance for the length of this e-mail.  This seems to be 
related to bug #125431, but the developers have had trouble getting the 
problem to occur on their machines, for which reason they are having 
trouble finding the cause.  To clarify the problem, I have two questions.


1.  Is the problem solely with the open functionality, or does saving 
a document in 4.1.1 also corrupt the file?


The users who reported but #125431 only have trouble opening files, but 
saving the files doesn't corrupt either the files or their profile; 
other than that, your symptom is exactly the same as what they reported.


I understand you downgraded to Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1; can AOO 4.0.1 
save a new password-protected spreadsheet, and simply not open the ones 
that you attempted to modify and save in version 4.1.1?


If OpenOffice 4.0.1 cannot even open password-protected files that you 
didn't touch in OO 4.1.1, then please see below.


2.  If you uninstalled version 4.1.1 and installed 4.0.1 and still have 
the problem, what happens if you also reset your profile?  You can do 
that by moving the


~/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice/4/user

folder to the Trash.  In your Finder, click go, then Go to folder... 
then type


~/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice/4

and click Go.  Move user to the trash, restart your computer, and 
see if OpenOffice 4.0.1 will open your password-protected files or not.


A.  If it opens all password-protected files including those that you 
attempted to save in OpenOffice 4.1.1, then AOO 4.1.1 (on your computer) 
(or rather, an interaction between OO 4.1.1 and the OS) might have done 
something to your OpenOffice profile; thus, dragging it to the trash 
after downgrading to 4.0.1 made the problem go away.


B.  If it opens only those password-protected files that worked before, 
but not those that you attempted to save in OpenOffice 4.1.1, then the 
act of saving the files seems to have corrupted them.


C.  If I misunderstand your e-mail, and you can actually open the files 
as soon as you downgrade to 4.0.1, then that means that AOO 4.1.1 simply 
can't open password-protected files but, thankfully, you didn't lost any 
data (see question #1 above).

What operating system are you running?  For example, what Mac OS version

then click Change All...


If the problem ONLY occurs with Norton and not with just any saved HTML

If the problem only affects the Norton subscription renewal page and not

Thanks for your detailed problem description.  Does the Toshiba have

Assuming that the problem only happens on one computer, I would like to 
double-check exactly what you mean by read only:  do you mean that the 
file was saved to disk with read-only permissions?  Or do you ONLY mean 
that OpenOffice itself won't allow you to change the file, and that 
read-only appears in the title bar?

Corrupted completely sounds like a very different problem.

My suggestion is that you create a new issue, with the following
information:

 1. An original file (RTF or something else?)

 2. The Saved As ... in RTF format.

 3. What you see in trying to open (2), such as a small screen capture.

If you can't duplicate it, wait until it happens again and you have a
specimen (2) that you use as evidence of the problem.

These only need to be small enough to exhibit the problem.  (3) is
important in case others can't duplicate it, so that it is clear
there is an intermittent problem with the code.  It's to convince

intermittent crashes on Mac....

[Jonathan]

I have two more-or-less unrelated questions:

1.  If OpenOffice crashes once with no apparent cause (i.e., it cannot 
be reliably reproduced), and the OpenOffice file recovery screen comes 
up, and the file recovers successfully (albeit, to an earlier version of 
my document), but the Crash Reporter screen fails to come up, then is 
the failure to display the Crash Reporter screen a legitimate bug?


2.  If a particular file reliably causes OpenOffice to quit 
unexpectedly, is that a legitimate bug?  If so then I can create a 
bug ticket... after first running the file through Jotti (to make sure 
it's not infected), of course.


What is normal or expected behavior if you open a corrupted file in 
OpenOffice for Macintosh?  *Should* it close unexpectedly?


(Note that opening this particular file always brings up Apple's 
crash-reporter screen rather than OpenOffice's.  Does anybody affiliated 
with the OpenOffice project receive Apple bug reports that are 
triggered by OpenOffice crashes?)

Intermittent problem with RTF files

[Jonathan]

I recently saved an RTF file, and after I saved the file it was 
corrupted completely.  As far as I can tell, the problem is intermittent 
and I know of no way to reproduce it consistently.


How can I determine if this is the same issue that was reported earlier 
as bug #68343 (http://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=68343)?


When I download the attachment in the bug report, I see that it is in a 
foreign language; however, making any change to it, and saving, produces 
a similar symptom to what I experienced.  But the most recent comment in 
the bug report indicates that it was not reproducible using in 
ooo320-m19 (which, I understand, is the same as OpenOffice 3.2.1), and 
I have Open Office 4.0.1.


How do I know whether bug #68343 applies only to documents written in 
the language in question, or whether it has the same underlying cause as 
the problem that I experienced?

Thanks for the information.  The bug number, by the way, is 117931. 
It's probably related to the interaction between OpenOffice and the 
driver for this specific printer.  Upgrading OpenOffice from 3.2 to 3.3 
caused printing to become *painfully* slow.  Then, upgrading the HP 
printer driver slightly alleviated the problem, but it's still very, 
very slow.
