Re: open pdf documents and save them as spreadsheets or word documents
Tim I have to admit that my experience is evidently limited, I only have experience with the text type of pdf file. I was not aware of the “image” type of pdf file. Thank you for that information!

Re: open pdf documents and save them as spreadsheets or word documents
John The solution is much simpler, at least on a Mac. Simply mark, copy, and paste to wherever you want the text to be. However, you loose formatting. As to spreadsheets, copy the table to a temporary file, replace whatever separates the cell contents with a comma or semicolon, and read the temporary file as a .CSV file. On 2.

Re: Suggestion.
At least two (probably more) of the books I have in my shelf are produced entirely by a system widely used in the sciences, LaTeX, in combination with other software like RStudio, R, and a package for R called knitr. As far as I understand, page layout, headers, footers, references, everything. No tweaking afterwards. LaTeX is a beautiful tool. Steep learning curve, but with anything more than a few pages long, definitely worth the investment in the long run. Tom On 21.

Re: BRIGHT IDEA: was: Re: Open Office not opening]
That is a very GOOD idea, considering the number of questions requiring the advice of “remove folder xxx from the folder yyy”, something that has fooled many Mac users of Openoffice, me included. My impression is that the question on the list requiring the standard response has appeared at least more than once per day lately. If we consider that as a guess that less than 10% of users (maybe less) who have met that condition and have reached the list and asked for a solution, the solution is very much overdue. Tom On 18.

Re: Testador do Open office
Umas Sorry. I do not agree, if you regard any language other than English as “non-human”, or by implication, “sub-human”. But, I might add that your statement could also be interpreted as Spanish being “super-human”, which I somehow doubt. However, this list is in English, and that should be language for the messages to the list, and contributors should be (mildly) rebuked for using a different language. Otherwise, we might have debates in Spanish, Norwegian (my native language), or Uzebekestani. Not very productive. Tom On 11.

Opening an OpenOffice file.
Recently. when I try to open an OpenOffice file, a window from OpenOffice appears with the text: "The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?”. In this window there are two buttons, one with “Don’t Reopen” and the other with “Reopen”. Clicking any of the two buttons has no visible effect, and this window remains open until I force quit the application. In addition, output to the printer of the file does not seem to work, but editing does. This seems like a bug to me. But what can I do to rectify the situation? I am using a Mac running OS X and a recent version of Openoffice (version 4 something?)

Showing notes
I am doing a presentation with Impress, and I am using my Mac together with a projector. When I have the extra display connected, the Mac shows the current slide together with the next slide. What I would like to have is to replace the picture of the next slide with the notes for the next slide. Or at least having a display of the notes. Is this possible? I tried to install the "Presenter Control Extension" as pointed to in the "Apache OpenOffice" page, but got an error message on version 4.0.1 on the Mac.

Writer, ouline numbered list
I am having problems with formatting an outline numbered list. What I would like to have is a list where the number of the item is on the same horizontal position av the text of the level above. About like this: 1 Text 1.1 Text 1.1.1 Text 2 Text 2.1 Text It seems that I am able to adjust levels 1 and 2 the way I want, but further adjustment of sublevels is impossible. Any suggestions? I am using OpenOffice 4.0.1 on a Mac. Tom - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: OpenOffice and Zotero
OK. I'll attempt to do just that. On the other hand, I am inclined to think that AOO would carry more weight than a pensioned academic. So, why not both AOO and me? Tom On 29.

Re: OpenOffice and Zotero
Yes, you are right. On the other hand, neither OpenOffice or version 4 is mentioned on the first page for the plugins. Perhaps the Zotero people could be persuaded to be more explicit? Tom On 29.

OpenOffice and Zotero
As far as I can see from the Zotero page, no plugins for AOO documents are mentioned, only Word and LibreOffice are mentioned. That seems to be a change, I am sure that AOO used to be mentioned there as well. I am currently a user of AOO version 3.4.1 on a Mac with FireFox. As far as I can se, the plugin I included some months ago works fine with version 3 text files. So I will hang on to that version for a while. But what about upgrading to AOO version 4? Will I still be able to handle references in the new version? Or do I have to change to LibreOffice in order to be able to handle references in my documents?
