Re: Missing Date/Time format

[Martin Groenescheij]

You can add / format the display as you like.

Just Format Cell - select Date - enter DD MMM  HHMM in the Format code 
field 








 Op do, 24 aug 2023 13:53:36 +0200 schreef Greg  



Just a suggestion for a missing format. Using OpenOffice Calc. Went to format 
cells for a date, and it does not give you an option to use the military format 
that the US military uses (I'm a 20 year retiree). For dates, we use: 
24 August 2023, or abbreviated 24 Aug 2023 
When I look at formatting cells, it shows this option: 
24. Aug. 2023 
Or 24. August 2023 
The US military does not insert a period after the day, nor after abbreviating 
the month. 
In addition, under the Time format, the US military version is also missing. 
For example, it is now 7:48 AM. We would write 0748. The only option in 
OpenOffice is 07:48, with a colon. The US military never uses the colon to 
separate the hour and minutes. Thanks.

Re: My file is gone

[Martin Groenescheij]

You can find the path of the backups in Preferences … OpenOffice -> Paths



Keep in mind that Backups are only written when you Save the file, which is 
either press the Save Button or when you Save before you close the file.



The AutoRecovery is only for Recovering the file in case of a System failure or 
a Power outage while working on the document. 



The Time Machine Backups make only backups from files that are saved on the 
disk, while you work on a document the contents is in memory and memory is not 
backuped by the Time Machine.



Best practice is to regurarly press the Save Button manualy, if you do this 
every 10 minutes you only lost 10 minutes of work.

If everything else fails, you could have a look to Google Documents and Google

without a problem.
And when you store them on Google Drive you could share them with other users

The terms "hard return" and "soft return" are probably unhelpful. 
Indeed, Wikipedia explains a "soft return" as the line break that 
occurs as text flows naturally from line to line. These will move 
about in the text as fonts are changed (or substituted) or paper sizes 
or margins change (or the text is modified), so they do not exist 
within the word processor document and you cannot "use" them, as you 
claim. The useful distinction - and one that will help you understand 
your problem - is between line breaks and paragraph breaks (both of 
which are varieties of "hard return").



The definition from PC Magazine

What is the difference between a hard and soft return in Word?
*Hard return*: Pressing the *Enter* key in *Word* ends a paragraph. It's 
officially known as typing a *hard return*. ... The *soft return*, or 
*line break*, is used primarily in titles and headings; when you have a 
long title and need to split it up *between* two lines, you press 
Shift+*Enter* to insert the *soft return*.






I do not know how I have managed to format the Newsletter for the 
last several months without encountering the problem that started 
this week.


Luck, rather than judgement.

"... the appearance of the relevant parts of the text changes or are 
you actually looking at the applied paragraph style name?"

The appearance of the text actually changes along with the style name


Er, yes - well, of course it does: that's the idea! But the question 
was whether you were detecting the apparent change of paragraph style 
by looking at the style name or *just* by observing the appearance of 
the text. In the former (and more probable) case, it must be that you 
had changed the paragraph style applied to some text, but in the 
latter you may instead have changed the properties of the existing 
paragraph style.


Incidentally, there was one point that I forgot to mention. You said 
"When that body text is highlighted and changed back to Body Text 
...", which suggests that you think the change is applied to the 
selected text. But no: "Text body" is a *paragraph* style (not a 
character style), so any such application is to the entire paragraph 
containing the current cursor position or to all paragraphs (possibly 
only partially) included in the selection. Don't select anything: just 
put the cursor somewhere in the required paragraph. Understanding that 
will help you see what is happening.

Re: Complaint: "buggy implementations"

[Martin Groenescheij]

The only issue I have seen is when you have a large document with a lot 
of images and you start moving or shifting text around by copy and paste 
in the document.
The behavior depend on how the images are anchored, in case the are 
anchored to a page it is sometimes possible that pictures are laying on 
top of each other.


Each author should know his word processing tool and work(around) with 
the limitations.

I fully understand Mr. Olsson's complaint. In the Forum, we are 
indeed used to advise saving any picture to be embedded in AOO on the

However, this is not a very good user experience.

I agree.
Note that I never filed a bug report for that. First because there 
already too many reports for too few coders and second because I 
often adjust the pic before actually inserting it in the document. 


Despite we are a view Coders it helps if Tickets are updated, and 
maybe it would make sense to link support emails / forum issues. It is 
quite hard to prioritize Tickets. However a prioritization is not a

Everything helps, even if there are only people giving feedback by

Re: After all these years ... still buggy implementations ... do users still tolerate it?

[Martin Groenescheij]

On 24/10/2020 12:29, Olle Olsson wrote:

  I find it amazing that after so many years, and so much effort spent on
implementations, the oo tools are still in what I would call "pre-release
testing stage".

The main concern I have is that images cannot be handled reliably in oo
Writer.

Modern documents are image heavy. Rarely we see text-only documents. And
often images are photographic. And sometimes many of them. Do take a look
at the main information dissemination medium of our time: the web. The web
has become a "multi media" medium, where it is so easy to create
image-heavy web objects (and where the behavior actually is predictable!)

So what happens if you create an image-heavy oo Writer  document? Well, the
images you painstakingly inserted , have later disappeared from your
document.! What is left there in the document, in front of your eyes, is a
placeholder that signals something like "read error" of "graphic cannot be
displayed".
A lot depend on how you insert images, the most reliable way is to 
insert them in
a frame. Then there is the option to link a picture or to insert it. The 
link option

implies that you don't move the image otherwise it could not be found.


And there is no way to get information from the document about what that
inserted graphical object was, or where it came from.
Of course you can't get information from the document if it is not added 
first.


So in many respects, you have to create your document again, populating it
with the illustrations you want it to contain. And a day later, again
insert images ... ad nauseam.

When this is the case, it is astonishing that people want to use oo Writer
for mission-critical tasks.

Not all mission-critical tasks requires a lot of images.


I was nearly saying that one should avoid using oo Writer, because it is so
unreliable. But that would be incorrect. In my experience it *reliably*
loses most images you inserted.

In my opinion the most *reliably* fact is that you always have users that
complain about something they don't understand and they refuse to file a
Bug report.


I guess that the official response to this complaint is that one should use
the tool in accordance with recommendations that are offered, like:
[Tutorial] Some useful hints on using images



Well, if you read that text, it is obvious that there is no *guaranteed*
way to use the tool so that bad things do not happen. Rather, its tone is
rather something like "you might try this...", "If that does not work, try
that..." "disable automatic backup might improve the tool behavior..." etc.

Keep in mind that the recommendation is just from an other user like us.


Judging from user comments in these forums, "lost image problems" are
wide-spread, and people are desperate to find a solution.

And so are user errors widespread.


Being a software implementer myself, my evaluation (at least of the Writer
tool; but if to some extent implementation is shared by other oo tools,
then they might be impacted too) is that the tool does not have a high
quality implementation. It cannot keep track of its own data
representations, and it cannot detect situations that might cause problems.

If you have examples file a Bug report.


If reliability and predictable behavior is something that should
characterize oo tools, then more effort should be spent on preventing bad
situations from occurring. Perhaps:
* If certain image formats should not be used, then do not allow such
objects to be inserted
* if certain sizes of objects should not be exceeded, then prevent such
objects from being inserted
* If one should not have auto backup enabled when using images, then force
the user to disable auto backup.

As this is a forum for users, it would be interesting to hear from other
users if they feel that the way ooWriter (mis-)handles images is OK.

Whatever other user think about ooWriter their opinion doesn't help if they
don't file a Bug report.


Would they accept that behavior is they had to pay some monthly fee for
using ooWriter? Or is it the case that just because it is software free to
use (gratis), then nobody is allowed to have critical opinions about it?
I use it (for free) and yes there are issues, but the way I use it 
differs from

other users. I'm able to get things done, sometimes using workarounds.

Always save and maintain your documents in OpenOffice format and when 
needed save a MS Office copy for sharing with others.
Also save your original OpenOffice files on your local disk, you should not
share your original file only the copy.

The best help I can offer is: Maintain every document in one format and when 
necessary convert it to an foreign format for use by others.
It is like creating a document in English the translate it in a foreign 
language,
next time you take the foreign document translate it into English and add
more text. Finally you save it in the foreign language and the contents
doesn’t make sense at all.

Because you talk about a sheet I assume you working in Calc.
In the case you haven’t setup a print range it is assumed you only want to print
a selected range of Cells.
When you have your mouse on a empty Cell it assumes you want to print an
empty Cell and the result will be an empty page.
So the cure is to setup a Print Range under Format.

Files have a read only property that can be set on or off outside the
program that created them.

IF you are not being prompted for a password and are being shown a "Read
only" message then...
- exit OpenOffice
- Use you file manager program (In Windows it's File Explorer, has a manila
file folder icon) to go to the directory (a.k.a. folder) the file is in
- Select one of the files that is showing as read only
- right-click the file and select properties
- see if the "Read-only" box is ticked, if it is uncheck it and click OK

IF the Read-only box was ticked, now that you've unticked it and clicked
OK, double-click the file to open it in OpenOffice

Does it still display the "Read only" message?

If no, then the problem is resolved for THAT file.

To resolve for the other files, select all of them in File Explorer, right
click and select Properties, then uncheck "Read-only" and click OK button.

Files processed this way will no longer display the "Read only" message.

onto the hard drive of the new computer.
I have also been using OpenOffice for years.
After my files were backed up on the new computer, I discovered the
majority of my files are in the read-only mode which means I cannot edit
them.
Denies that this could have happened yet it has happened. What can I do to
restore my files to a usable condition?
Obviously, since I did not put the files into read-only form I have no
passwords associated with it.

OpenOffice is an office package which contains Writer, Calc, Draw and 
Presentation modules.
Cash book is not part of it and xls refers to Microsoft Spreadsheets.

Without knowing the Cashbook application there is not much we can do to assist 
you, probably it’s better to go to the creator of Cashbook

When you open the spreadsheet, can you see the rows that should total?

  Because it closes at random during entering we learned to save often.

To create one from a LibreOffice (this is an OpenOffice mail list but you

MUST be selected when creating the PDF from the LibreOffice document.

If and only if this step is taken the pdf can be edited within LibreOffice
provided other features are also available. Per LibreOffice help...
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export.html?DbPAR=SHARED
this embeds the ODF inside the PDF.

The PDF can then be opened and edit in LibreOffice just as if it was an ODT

In OpenOffice it works when you install the PDF Import Extension 
.





So yes, LibreOffice can edit PDF but it must be a particular type of PDF.

You can export an ods or doc file as a PDF document or PDF Form.

It's a good habit to regularly saving your work.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Load/Save and set Always create backup copy
and Save AutoRecovery information every xx Minutes

Understand the difference between both options as explained in the 
attached email from Brian Barker

True.

Useful though this facility is, it is important that readers are not 
misled by this suggestion. Like all sensible applications, OpenOffice 
saves document files only when the user asks for this to happen - 
using Save or Save As or by selecting Save from the options provided 
when a modified document is closed without having been saved. This is 
important, so that a user may choose, after a period of editing, to 
abandon all changes and close the document or session without 
modifying the original document.


The option at Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General | Save | Save 
AutoRecovery information every ... Minutes has another purpose. If it 
is ticked, information about the current editing session is salted 
away regularly - but separately from the actual document file. This 
information is deleted automatically if a session is terminated 
normally. Its purpose is instead to deal with program or system 
crashes or power outages. In these circumstances an offer is made, 
when OpenOffice is next started, to recover editing changes made in 
the aborted session as far as possible.

Subject:Re: Question for Tech Support
Date:   Sun, 12 Jul 2020 07:13:42 -0400
From:   Steve Marder 
To: Martin Groenescheij 



Martin,

The purpose of my question is this: I am working on the next edition of 
my two-language dictionary and want to be able to see two views of the 
same document. This is very important since in one of the views I can 
enter text, whereas in the other view I can do independent searches. In 
MS Word, it was a trivial matter to split the screen vertically into an 
upper and a lower section.


Your suggestion of selecting New Window works like a charm! As a matter 
of fact, it’s an even better solution than splitting the screen since it 
gives me the scope of seeing two full versions of the same document. I 
couldn’t ask for anything more than that!


Thank you very much for your email.

Steve

I don't know what the purpose of your question is, but if for example to

In the open writer document go to Windows in the top menu and select New

you have two windows of the same document and are able to scroll on both

two different pages in the same document.


I would’ve expected to find this in the “View” menu or on the vertical

isn’t there or is there a way to split the screen when entering text 
into a document? TIA.

So my first reply was wrong?

Now the real question here should not be how to display non printable 
characters,
but how do non printable characters came in the first place into your 
spreadsheet.


Using your keyboard as a source of input it will be impossible to enter 
non printable characters.


The only way is to copy data from an other source e.g. from a website. 
Websites have al kind of non
printable characters and you should clean the source before you paste 
them into your spreadsheet.


One way is to copy the data into a writer document and use the 
functionality to View non printable

characters there. Clean it and copy the result into your spreadsheet.




Thank you
Glenn

You can access a xls file with creating a link, but you probably mean that you 
open a xls file instead of accessing it which makes a huge difference.
Do you save the document in xls or ods file format after updating?

Dear OpenOffice,

  I spot so many problems when I was using OpenOffice.

  On the text document of the same file, some of the incorrect spelling is 
detected by a red, squiggly line below the incorrectly spelled word, but on the 
same file, some of the incorrect spelling is not detected by not showing a red, 
squiggly line below the incorrectly spelled word. How am I going know if the

Aids” under language settings, I turn on “Check Spelling As You Type,” but some 
of the incorrect spelling is still not detected by not showing a red, squiggly

Have you also selected the correct language module or have you a 
User-defined dictionary selected?
Please note if that you are able to add words to the dictionaries when 
you do a spell-check.
Once added the spell checker think that this is a correct spelling. I 
have no idea what have gone


wrong in the past, but OpenOffice allows you to edit these dictionaries 
by clicking on the Edit button.




I believe that the text document is enforcing pro-discrimination.

  On the presentation, I want to control the font of each cell of the table 
and to control the font size of each cell of the table, but the presentation 
controls my volition of having an Arial font of each cell of the table and of 
having a font size of 18 of each cell of the table.



Did you know that most of the settings are on the Master page?




  I keep getting so many crashes when I do my work via OpenOffice.

  Please fix those problems. Computers and software should not be 
controlling users’ volitions!

Re: Spreadsheet Formula Hiding "0"

[Martin Groenescheij]

Replacing an Number Field with text as in your formula will have impact 
on calculations like COUNT() or AVERAGE()

Also your formula doesn't take into account negative numbers

Suppressing the display of zeros in your Options works on your Display, 
but it will not suppress your it when
you print or export as PDF. To Suppress the output of zero values you 
can work with Conditional Formatting and

set the Cell Protection to "Hide when printing".

Working with number formatting like  # only works with whole numbers but 
still display a value 0.123 as .123


On 02/06/2020 00:13, Snapafun wrote:

Great suite - Thanks.

I love to hide the "0" value in cells yet to be populated and to do so 
I use the =IF(Target Cell>0;Actual Formula;"") setup.


This works well for me upon the Target Cell being the result or a 
manual entry.


However, this doesn't work when the Target Cell contains a formula. ( 
I appreciate that the formula setup as above is correct and that it 
now recognizes that the Target Cell is populated so is ">0" - just 
that viewed in real life - no actual value yet exists.)


Maybe there's a way of re-addressing the value "0" in the 1st part 
though it would be nice for a private user to be able to keep their 
formulas simple.


So - not necessary a fault or bug or anything at all - just a thought 
in case it's possible.

I don't think it can - but do you need to?

o You can easily select multiple rows using click and Shift+click in 
the row headers or by dragging down the row headers. Then you can 
adjust the row height for all those rows in a single step.


o Even more generally, you can select an entire sheet (or even 
multiple sheets) by clicking in the rectangle at top left, where the 
row and column headers meet. Again, you can adjust the row height for 
all those rows at once.




Yes, but first I must drop down to any Row's left margin header area 
and do a right-click; only after doing that, am I able to add my 
desired additional space (pitch) and make a change for optimum row 
height for all rows in the sheet (most of the time, as this sometimes 
misses a row(s)).



Please stop crying and start working!





o With a bit more work, you can change the row height in a blank 
spreadsheet and then save it as a template. You can even choose your 
new template to be the default - which more or less achieves what you 
ask for. Note that if you insert any new sheets into a document 
created with such a template, they will revert to the original 
default row height, so you will want either to create sufficient 
sheets in your template to render extra sheets unnecessary, or else 
to create any new sheets by copying existing (empty?) sheets rather 
than by inserting new sheets.


I trust this helps.

If you find 100% already marked this certainly won't be the solution. If it
is not marked it may be the fix that's needed.

And if this doesn't solve the problem check the Row height and Column Width
These should be 0,43 cm x 2,27 cm or 0.17" x 0.89" if this isn't correct you
should update the default Template

You’re correct for the first half of your statement.
For the second half you’re incorrect, under Windows use the back slash.

[Martin Groenescheij]

First you need to learn that you need to write your message in the body of your 
email.
Secondly it will be nice if you give more information on what went wrong.
 Finally removing a software package is part of your operating system.

Just change the color to black for visited and unvisited links.
Then create a paragraph format where you set the Underlining in Font Effects to 
(Without) or the Underline color to white.

When you save a document OpenOffice need to do some housekeeping, therefore
always allow some time before you shutdown your system.

Well filtering is not the best option, but if you want to filter emails you

Just try to save under an other name or in an other directory.
Probably there is a lock file with the same name in your directory, which could

Yes and No, it all depends if your computer is connected to the internet and 
you your computer and network is configured.
So it has nothing to do with OpenOffice but rather with the system

Todd,

Do you have a Print Range specified? OpenOffice Calc will default to 
printing nothing if no print range is set:


Format > Print Ranges > Edit

And if under "Print range" you see "none", then change it to "Entire 
sheet". You can change the rows and columns to repeat, if needed. But 
they will not prevent printing if empty and you probably don't want 
that for printing a form.


Note that the print range setting defaults to "none" on all sheets 
(tabs), so it needs to be changed on all sheets needing to be printed. 
Changing it on one sheet will not change it for other sheets in the file.


Also, make sure the printer is set:

File > Printer settings

and select the printer "Name" from the list. If you got the file from 
someone else, the default printer may be their printer name, not 
yours, so the print would go to a non-existent printer on your system.

Hi, I'm trying to help friends of mine print their tax document in
spreadsheet, they can print other things but nothing in OpenOffice. Is
there a setting somewhere in OpenOffice where the printer needs to be
turned on? They are using a Dell desktop and a Xerox printer. Thanks, 
Todd
