Re: Logiciel pour puce M1

[Steven Ahlers]

My M2 Notebook runs all of AOO just fine, no need for any added software. The 
biggest stumbling block for Mac users is the Gatekeeper that doesn’t allow 
programs from outside of the Apple Store environment to run. It’s an easy work 
around but is a stumbling block for many Mac users. Perhaps it might be time 
for developers to bite the bullet and seek approval from Apple, it isn’t even 
necessary to make AOO available through the Apple Store, just make it 
recognizable as a safe software for Mac users.

Re: Assistance re:scam

As a long time user of OpenOffice and Mac computers I would be hesitant to open 
software that the Gatekeeper blocked when someone else (that I didn’t know) had 
loaded that software onto the computer.

Re: What file format to use for xlsx file?

[Steven Ahlers]

Susen,

.xlsx is a proprietary file format for M$’s spreadsheet program. The easiest 
way I’ve found to deal with them is to convert them to .ods (open document 
spreadsheet format) through the online tool available at 
https://www.zamzar.com/. I believe they will convert five files at a time for 
free.

Re: Offline translation feature

[Steven Ahlers]

Without knowing what operating system you are using it is a bit of a 
challenge to make a recommendation for an offline translator 
application. If you do an internet search for 'Open source offline 
translator for [your OS]' several selections will come up. At least one 
works with ".odt" files. If you change your default search engine to 
something other than go ogle or bi ng (I prefer DuckDuckGo) you will get 
better results that aren't skewed to Alphabet or M$ products.

Re: need help, please

[Steven Ahlers]

This often happens when there was a hasty shutdown or crash of the computer. 
Click on the Apple icon and select Force Quit. Close any program/app other than 
Finder that is running. Then look in the folder that you store files in for 
files that have ~lock. in their name and delete them (probably just the problem 
file). Restart your computer, start OpenOffice, and then open the file.

Make sure you let the program completely shut down before shutting down your 
computer. Also get in the habit of saving your files and shutting down 
OpenOffice when you are walking away from your computer for extended periods of 
time.

Re: Apache WordPad

[Steven Ahlers]

Can we help you? Not really unless you clarify your question.

WordPad is a text editor that is a part of the software that comes with M$ 
Windows.

Apache has an office suite called Apache OpenOffice. It is available for free 
at: https://www.openoffice.org/download/. It has a module called Writer that is 
a word processor.

The files that each of these use are stored on your computer, and unless you 
have some password limiting access to your files, should not require a password 
to copy them from one computer to another.

As a courtesy to you I have sent a copy of this message to you.

Paul,

When you saved the file(s), in what folder did you save them? What did you name

The default is generally ‘untitled 1.odt’ in whatever folder you last saved a

Re: Cells

[Steven Ahlers]

Sam,

One way of doing this would be to set the Font for the cell to a Font that uses 
only Uppercase Letters. If your OS doesn’t already have one installed I found a 
website that offered over 350 Uppercase Fonts either for just personal use or 
for personal and public use. Many are “Comic” or other stylized Fonts. This 
website was the first that came up in an internet search on DDG and was 
specifically geared for Windoz. The number available may be different for your 
OS. If you want this spreadsheet used on other computers the Font will have to 
be downloaded in those computers.

Another way of accomplishing this would be to remember to press the SHIFT key 
or SHIFT LOCK key when typing to enter the text into the cell.

As a courtesy to you I have sent a copy of this message to your email address.

Re: open office problem

[Steven Ahlers]

Sam,

As previously stated to fix: highlight the problematic cell(s) and choose 
Format/Cells/Borders and set borders to what you want them to be.

This happens if you Copy (or Cut) and Paste. This action will pickup all 
formatting and paste it into the target cell(s). To prevent this from happening 
Copy (or Cut) and Paste Special, this allows you to decide what you actually 
paste into the target cell(s).

Re: Freezing a row

[Steven Ahlers]

If you want a row or group of rows as a locked title choose the row beneath 
that area and go to Window and click on Freeze.

If you want a column or group of columns as a locked title choose the column to 
the right of that title and goto Window and choose Freeze.

If you want both a horizontal and a vertical title choose the cell below and to 
the right of the titles and goto Window and click on Freeze.

Vince,

1) Yes, it’s normal to switch to User Defined.

2) Not sure what you’re referring to.

Jonathan,

Actually Vince’s (the OP) original question was about 1+ (###) ###- not +1 
(###) ###-.

He also asked about (###) ###- as an alternative. Both were addressed 
several responses ago including an incorrection in regards to those solutions.

The formatting that I shared works fine for USA phone numbers. I’ve used it for

Re: Formatting for USA Telephone Numbers

[Steven Ahlers]

Brian,

It does drop a leading zero in the area code. It doesn’t drop leading zeros 
from the prefix series or the exchange series. In the USA no area code starts 
with a zero so this would be a nonissue.

Re: Formatting for USA Telephone Numbers

[Steven Ahlers]

Vince,

If you want the format of 1 (123) 456-7890 simply type in the format definition 
box (near the bottom of the pop up menu for Format Cell under the Numbers tab) 
1^(###)^###- (where ^ is a space). There is no need for quotation marks. 
You can put any text you want when you are defining the format of a number.

Make sure the width of the column is wide enough for all of the characters 
otherwise you’ll get the error code ### which signifies a number too wide to 
display.

Paul,

For future consideration: if your iPad and Mac are both signed into your iCloud

the Notes app on your Mac, no need to email it. Then cut and paste into the

Go back to your backup that was created Wednesday after you created that report.

Going forward to avoid this problem I would create a template of the basic

How are you trying to open your documents? 
Are you expecting them in the Recently Opened Documents list? Until you open 
them they won’t be there. To populate this list either open the folder 
(possibly “Documents”) where you saved them and double click on your files or 
start OpenOffice and click on the file folder 📂 icon select the folder you 
saved them in select the file and click the Open button.

Re: Opening a .odf file with Microsoft

[Steven Ahlers]

John,

Unfortunately Windoz likes to change file associations when it updates. To fix 
this Open the Windows File Explorer, the File Folder icon in the Dashboard. 
Then open the folder that you have your file in; ie if it’s on your desktop it 
will be in the folder “Desktop”. Select your file then click the the Triangle 
(down arrow) next to Open and choose Open With. Choose OpenOffice Writer from 
the list, check the box for Open All Files With This Extension With This App 
and then click the button Open.

Re: New Computer - Microsoft has changed my documents to Word

[Steven Ahlers]

Jennie,

The File Association of your documents has been changed. This is something that 
Windoz is pretty aggressive about doing. To fix this open the File Explorer app 
in Windows System (or the File Folder icon on the Task Bar). In the window for 
File Explorer open the folder that has your Writer files in it. Highlight one 
of your Writer files and then click on the triangle (down arrow) to the right 
of Open. This will bring up a menu of choices of programs to open that file in. 
If OpenOffice Writer is not in that list chose “Chose another app” and search 
through that list to find OpenOffice Writer, click OpenOffice Writer and then 
check box “Always use this app to open .odt files” this will change the file 
association on all .odt files to OpenOffice Writer. If you have saved text 
documents in other file formats then you will need to change the file 
association for those formats as well.

As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this message to you since you may not see

Re: How to do it???

Larry,

Right click (control click) on file, choose Open With, navigate to Writer and 
Open. If you want this to happen to all “Word” files then check the box for all 
similar files.

Re: Perhaps Uninterruptible Power Supplies Should be used with AOO for Non-Portable Computers

[Steven Ahlers]

Ron,

Something I neglected in my original response is frequent backups. In OSX there 
is a built in app, TimeMachine, that regularly (to whatever frequency you want) 
backs up files to external storage. I use an external 1 TB hard drive for 
frequent saves (15-30 minute intervals) then a cloud backup for less frequent 
(daily to weekly).

Re: Open Office Excel

[Steven Ahlers]

Joelle,

Do you mean an OpenOffice Calc file? If you do mean a M$ Excel file you will 
need to go to a Microsoft help site.

Assuming it is a Calc file there are some pieces of information that would help 
us help you.

1) Do you get an error message when you try to open the file you’re having 
problems with? If so what does it say?

2) What operating system and version are you using?

3) How much RAM does your computer have?

4) What version of OpenOffice are you using?

5) How much memory does OpenOffice have allocated for use?

6) How big is the file you’re trying to open?

As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this message to you, if you’re not 
subscribed to the users list you may not see all of the responses to your 
inquiry.

Please do not respond to my email address, respond to the users group email 
address: users@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Perhaps Uninterruptible Power Supplies Should be used with AOO for Non-Portable Computers

[Steven Ahlers]

Tom that’s an interesting idea. I would suggest an even more important concept, 
practice good computer hygiene: before you leave your computer save all 
documents, shut down all programs. Then if there is a power failure no problem. 
I would recommend clearing out browser memory (history, cookies, etc.) you can 
bookmark websites and use a password manager to easily return to websites on 
restart.

Re: Question for Tech Support

[Steven Ahlers]

Steve,

We are all users just like you. You very seldom get “tech support” with free, 
open source, software; unless you pay for it.

When you say split screen do you mean 2 consecutive pages side by side? Do you 
mean 2 different documents side by side? Do you mean 2 different locations 
within the same document?

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES

[Steven Ahlers]

I generally generate PDFs from the print dialogue: from File menu choose Print, 
in bottom left corner there’s a button to start the PDF dialogue which allows 
you to name the file and where you want to save it.

Re: Connecting to database remotely

You could move the data base to a file sharing application like Drop Box. It 
would then be accessible from any internet connected computer with OpenOffice 
installed on it.

Re: Update

[Steven Ahlers]

Beverly,

It sounds as though you are using an old version of OpenOffice. You need to 
download a current version of the software. Go to: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/ and follow all instructions including the 
information that Dave already provided.

As a courtesy I have sent you a copy of this message. If you’re not subscribed 
to the users list you may not see all of the responses to your inquiry. Please

[Steven]

Just an average long-time OO user in the middle of transitioning to new W10 
laptop.

When I installed  OO on the new laptop, it seemed to go smoothly.

However, my saved docs and spreadsheet are nowhere to be found on in the new 
program.

What did I do wrong and what’s the fix to get the new OO to see my previously 
saved files?

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanx,

Yes you need to update OpenOffice on all of your computers. Only download from:

read and follow all directions, such as dealing with the Gatekeeper.

Re: Recover previous documents

[Steven Ahlers]

Another choice would be to restore from your backup. How to do it depends on 
what you used for backup and your operating system.

Re: Upgrade to Mac Catalina

Make sure you have updated your printer drivers from the printer’s web site. 
Then restart your computer to implement those updated drivers. Then start 
OpenOffice and retry printing. Also make sure that your printer’s ink levels 
are good.

Re: Can you help me??

[Steven Ahlers]

Make sure you have downloaded the most recent driver for your printer from 
their web site, not just from a disc included with the printer.

Then restart your computer, the change to your operating system from the 
addition of the printer driver will not take effect until the system is 
restarted.

Next make sure the new printer is the default printer in the operating system.

Then restart OpenOffice and open the file you want to print. Choose print from 
the File menu. You should now see your printer and the options available to 
control it.

Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS

In the Data drop down menu choose:

1) Define Range: give it a one word name, in the Range box specify the first 
and last cells
2) Select Range: choose a named range
3) Sort: Options tab—allows you to select options 
 Sort Criteria—allows you to choose column(s) to sort on and 
order in each column

If it produces something you don’t like go to Edit drop down and Undo Sort

This may seem works for simple lists or multi column databases as long as you 
define the range correctly.

Re: Microsoft works files

[Steven Ahlers]

Sandy,

If you still have access to MS Works you can open the files in Works and then 
export them in MS Office (Word, Excel) format and then import them into Apache 
OpenOffice. Spreadsheets can also be exported in CSV format and then imported.

If you don’t have access to MS Works you can utilize online file converters.

https://www.zamzar.com/
Is a free service that works well.

Any conversions can result in formatting errors so careful proofing is 
advisable.

Re: Documents not saved OO 4 1 6

[Steven Ahlers]

Richard,

When you saved it where did you save it to?
What did you answer to the query about updating the links?
What operating system are you using? Assuming you’re using windows have you 
searched for the saved files using File Explorer? What was the result?

Please reply to:
users@openoffice.apache.org
so that all users can see your replies and assist you.

Re: Problems with installing open office on the MacBook Air

[Steven Ahlers]

This is an issue with the Gatekeeper to prevent malware installation. 
OpenOffice downloaded from
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Is safe. Please read the instructions at the above address or look at the 
information at Apple Help on Gatekeeper. 

The simplest and safest way to get around the Gatekeeper has been to Right 
Click (Control Click) on the OpenOffice icon and follow the instructions to 
allow the program to run.

If you have any further questions please address them to the users list address:

Re: Icons

[Steven Ahlers]

Randy,

It sounds as though you’ve downloaded from a site that is not the official 
site. You should go back on your timeline before you downloaded this bundle of 
software.

Then go to: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
the official site to download the software. When you start the download you 
will be redirected to a Source Forge site that is the mirror site that hosts 
the download install. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY BUTTONS ON THIS SITE. This will 
download the exe file to install OpenOffice which will give you the one icon to 
start the program. Once the program is installed you can delete the install exe 
file.

Please respond to:
users@openoffice.apache.org
so that all users can help you.

Randy,

Where did you download ApacheOpenOffice from?

What are the icons?

How many icons are there?

Re: open a single page document on the entire screen.

[Steven Ahlers]

Merry,

You need to set the view zoom factor back to normal view. On the bottom right 
of the window there is a button to select a view percentage, click on it and 
select what view you would like; usually 100%.
