RE: Open Office crashes immediately after it loads the pages.

[Tom Griffith]

All,

I had an issue w/Open Office some time back.  Now I seem to be getting emails 
from many people about things which do not matter to me.  Please remove my 
email from your mailing list.  piano...@austin.rr.com  Thank you.

Robert,

Thank you. That helped a lot. I had looked in Roaming and didn't see it,
but maybe because it was all white. My File Manager is dark background.

I have renamed OpenOffice to OpenOffice.old and opened it, and it didn't
crash. I didn't have many settings, so I'm not going to stress over it.
I'll have to find the files I had open, but that's another issue.

Thank you for providing me with information relevant to Open Office. I love
to be able to ask questions and get information from this terrific,
supportive, mail list.

Linda

RE: Is it possible to export an Apache Open Office doc into an EPUBdoc?

[Tom Griffith]

I use Avast antivirus and related services.  As to the website I was using, I 
can’t find it now, but it contained a couple of places I could use to change my 
password, etc., and I just haven’t created an account and don’t know where to 
do so.  Thank you so much for your prompt response.

If you are using Windows, this may be an issue with whatever antivirus
you are using. The precise text of the error message, and information
about what operating system and antivirus you are using may help
diagnose the problem.

To what "website" are you referring when you mention account
information? Last I looked there are an awful lot of websites.

You can use the Page tab in the Format => Page... menu item to change 
the
size of the pages to 5.5" x 8.5" before exporting the document.

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

[Tom Panfil]

Hello AOO Users & Advisors,

For years I've routinely read reports from Open Office Users about 
various problems.  Many are generally attributed to having shut down 
one's computer too quickly, before shut down processes have been completed.


I've used OO and AOO for many years, both on Windows based computers and 
on MacBook Pros.  I've never experienced *this* type of problem.  I 
attribute that good fortune to three things:


 * Use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies with Desktop Computers.
 * Use of Laptop Computers which have immunity to power loss due to
   their internal batteries.
 * Very deliberate shut down processes:
 o Quit the Running Applications (at least all which involve my
   user data)
 o Log out of whatever LogIn Accounts have been in use (generally
   just one)
 o Shutdown the computer

I think that AC Power Failures which cause sudden shutdowns are the 
cause of many AOO Problems.


Should the AOO Installation site STRONGLY recommend the use of 
Uninterruptible power Supplies with non-laptop computers?


Users might be unhappy with paying for UPSes, but they are a small 
expense relative to the pain of serious data loss and corruption of 
profiles.

Printing labels

[Tom Jones]

I am trying to print some mailing labels.  I have converted my spreadsheet
containing addresses to an .odb database file.  Then I go to
"File>new>labels to open the labels dialog.  When I try to enter the name
of my database, I find that I cannot delete or add anything to the
incorrect choices listed in the dropdown list.  I have closed and restarted
both the Open Office program and the computer, but I still cannot change
these entries.  Any suggestions?

RE: Open Office Icon on Desktop does not show your blue and white seabird logo

[Tom Giaccherini]

Regina:

Thanks for taking the time to provide your assistance.

The problem was my "text and icon size" setting in Windows 7  (Control 
Panel/Display).  I had my PC set at "large," and that apparently prevented Open 
Office from creating the blue and white logo on my desktop.

Once you reset to the smaller size and reboot, the logo appears.

Thanks again for all your time and help.

How is everything in Germany?

I have got a version 4.1.6 and that has a round, blue icon with two 
white birds. It is likely, that you do not have got our original OpenOffice.

Could you suggest a link for downloading the authentic version of verison 4.1.6

Open Office Icon on Desktop does not show your blue and white seabird logo

[Tom Giaccherini]

Hello:

 

I just installed the newest version of Open Office.  The icon on my desktop
is a rectangle that looks like a page of white paper with a folded corner.
A blue square is inside, and lots of very small squares reside inside the
blue square.

 

What happened to your circular icon with the white birds against the blue
circle?  How do I place that icon on my desktop?

Re: Hacked OO 4.1.5

[Tom Cordle]

Dave and Brian,

Thought it worthwhile to follow up. I downloaded OpenOffice again, and it 
appears to be working normally. I saved a test Impress file, and it worked as 
it should. Out of an abundance of caution, I did not retrieve the previous 
affected/infected Impress files from Trash.

Also of note and appearing to confirm my suspicions is the fact that government 
has issued warnings about the very sort of thing I suspected:

Re: Hacked OO 4.1.5

Dave,
Thanks for the follow-up. I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10.5 (14F27). I 
will try downloading OpenOffice 4.1.5 again and see if the problem persists. 
Also good advice about running a virus scan - do you have a recommendation in 
that regard; I have no anti-virus on my iMac other than Apple’s built-in 
protections.
Thanks again,
Tom

Hacked OO 4.1.5

[Tom Cordle]

Don’t know who to direct this to, but I thought someone should be aware of a 
possible hack of the most recent version of OO (4.1.). A couple of days ago, I 
downloaded that version from the Apache website, and was pleased to see 
improvements in the Impress function. After several hours work, I saved an 
Impress file, and noticed it was identified in the cue in what I assume was 
Russian for Impress followed by OpenOffice. Strange, I thought.

I had written copy in that file in English, and when I opened the file again, 
it was translated into Russian. That made me more than a little suspicious, so 
I corrected the copy back to English, saved the file with a different name, 
opened it, and same thing – English translated into Russian.

I’m not crazy, nor am I normally paranoid. But since then, I have received 
three notices from Google of three attempts to sign into my Google email 
account, all three thankfully unsuccessful. I have to date not observed any 
other signs of a virus/hacking on any other apps or services.

Needless to say, all this has left me very concerned – concerned enough that I 
deleted all my recent Impress files and the OO application itself. That 
currently leaves me without any word processing/presentation application.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Big problem

[Tom Hayden]

Hello
I have a problem that I never encountered before.  When opening a file that I 
have been working on for several years the document opened with nothing but the 
pound symbols. Like this:  , all 300 pages have this now instead of 
my writings.  Is there a way I can recover my previous work?  Can I somehow go 
back to a former date before this occurred?  Can anyone tell me how and why 
this occurred?  Never had such a problem before!  I am bummed big time. Please 
help! Thanks so much.

numbering of pages

[Tom Bruwier]

Hello,

In a large text file drawn op in OpenOffice Writer, I would like to number my 
pages in a “header”.
1) is this possible
2) how do i customize the header so that i can number the pages in the font and 
fontsize of my choice
3) once all this done, how do I get an automatic numbering as from the first 
page that gets a number; more concrete: the first pages 7 of the document don’t 
get numbering, but as from page 8 they all do.

Gratefully awaiting advice,

Tom

Database Set Up

[TOM]

TWIMC:

In all the time I've been using AOO (since its inception) I've never 
come across a problem like the one I am experiencing. I want to set up a 
relatively simple Database in order to track some daily medical reading. 
I have AOO 4.1.2 which I am using with my Mac which operating system is 
OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5. I seem to be able to set up a heading and can 
even save it BUT when I go to open it in order to fill it in it nothing 
happens. No types, no space, no nada.


Can you possibly help.

Thomas E. Crawford, Sr.

converting x.lwp files

Folks,  I have to convert about 3 doz small x.lwp files.  I thought OO would

RE: converting x.lwp files

I downloaded LibreOffice and opened several files, like the ones attached.  All

three of the files in case you did have a quick way to open themand then 
send me directions.

Simon is correct, with LibreOffice you can open .lwp files.  I also found 
information where you can convert .lwp to PDF files.  I use FoxItReader for 
pdf, it's free and so much better than (ugh) Adobe.

 

 

I hope this helps.  Also I found information by doing a search for "how to 
convert a .lwp in Win8".

Sorry but I haven't had any experience with .lwp files.  I did a search and 
those were just a few hits that I received.  You may wish to do a search for 
"how to convert a .lwp in Win8".   I found many different links for this issue.

 

Sorry I can't assist any further but will read all of thread to learn.

 

One thing I can say (this is what I would do), install FoxItReader, then click 
on your .lwp file and open it with FoxItReader - see if that works.

odt-file, ascii filter, series of pounds

[tom cuypers]

Dear Sir,
 
how did you solve this well-known problem? I've seen a series of suggestions, 
but none will fix the problem.
Renaming and Unzipping doesn't help.
I can't understand how a program is allowed to ruin people's life by letting 
them work for weeks on documents.
Comments on the forum say when a file is corrupted, the problem is unfixable.
BUT IF A FILE IS SAVED ONCE ELECTRONICALLY, HOW CAN IT DISAPPEAR?
I won't be using your program again untill this problem is fixed.
I'm even thinking about buying a typewriter again, that will cost me less time.
 
Regards
 
Tom Cuypers

Re: [libreoffice-users] 10 ways to help users move from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice - TechRepublic

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
The article is excellent and it's good to see :))

I think there was a misleading bit about the newer MS Office formats
working just fine in LibreOffice/OpenOffice as they do quite often run into
problems.

However, i am not sure it's a good thing to note down in an article.  It's
difficult to avoid ranting about vendor lock-in as well as the appearance
of insanities, conspiracies and corruption of the ISO committees and the
way big organisations have apparently been quite happy with MS's failure to
implement their own format.


So i think it's important to use the older MS formats if anyone who needs
to edit a document has got to use MS Office.

MS Office users seem to find it very difficult to use Save As and seem to
get hopelessly confused and changing the default really needs an IT
boffin.  Personally i think MS Office is designed to make it all difficult
to understand.  In LibreOffice and OpenOffice it's all quite a lot easier,
of course.

I'm just not sure if it's a good thing to put into an article because it
makes it all look tooo complicated.  Also people tend to learn all that
quite quickly if they ever do give LibreOffice a fair go so maybe just
getting it onto their system is ore important.  At the very least they are
then able to open all the various formats quite easily and in a program
that is designed to do so properly.  ie MS Office for documents in OOXML
(for at least 1 of the various transitional versions) and LibreOffice for
everything else.

Regards from
Tom :)

conflict with MSWORD

[Tom Boyde]

I trust this is being sent to an appropriate address and that I will get a
real reply, not reference to a blog or similar [never useful for me
personally].

Having installed OpenOffice 4.1 on several computers which already had a
version of MSWORD installed, I find

1] Microsoft Word is no longer usable on each of those computers, in fact
seems to have been uninstalled.
2] A document opened and edited in OpenOffice, then transferred to another
computer on which is installed MSWORD, can not be opened in MSWORD.
3] These observations apply whether the version of MSWORD concerned is of
2010 or earlier vintage.

This interferes with the way in which I wish to conduct my affairs. I wish
to have access to both word-processing programmes on the same computers and to
convert documents from one to the other at will. How can I do those
things?

Re: open pdf documents and save them as spreadsheets or word documents

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

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.

 No. You need to use an OCR (Optical Character recognition) application to do 
 that. For spreadsheets and other work involving figures most careful 
 proof-reading of the OCR output is required.
 
  
 OCR - does that equate to Adobe creates an image (jpg or ?) from any document

 PDF document can be opened with a pdf reader (free from Adobe and other

 I expected the exported PPT to look exactly the same as in AOO...
 
 i checked that template. it seems to be the 'blue border' background chosen 
 on the 2nd step of the presentation wizard. it is not autofitted at all, but 
 rather tiled (see format - page - background). because its size is exactly 
 the same as the default slide size (which is 28 x 21 cm), it fills the entire 
 screen.
 
 however, when exporting to powerpoint, everything is messed up because 
 powerpoint's size handling is somewhat flawed. eg, when i create a rectangle 
 in powerpoint and set its width to, say, 10 cm, it appears to be about 9 cm 
 according to the ruler at the top of the slide (at least in powerpoint 2000 
 installed on my organisation's computers). if after that i set the page width 
 to 10 cm too, the rectangle does not take the full width of the page, just 
 like your slide's background.
 
 so, powerpoint seems to use different units for page sizes and object sizes: 
 the centimeters of page width are larger than those of a rectangle width. it 
 is quite idiosyncratic, but you have to stay with it. i do not think that 
 openoffice should adopt this unnatural measuring convention only to be 
 compatible with powerpoint, although some size adjustment while exporting may 
 be of use.
 
 in your case, try unticking the 'format - page - background - tile' box 
 and ticking the 'format - page - background - autofit'.

Re: Suggestion.

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

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.

 The only books in which everything is done manually are made by small

 usually working with a pre-digital press. Such books tend to be expensive 
 because they are so time-consuming to produce.
 
 Chances are, you yourself don't do manually all the things you mention when 
 you use LibreOffice. You might tweak a hyphenation break here and there, or 
 kern 
 a couple of characters, but I would be very surprised to learn that you went 
 character by character over all your documents.

Re: BRIGHT IDEA: was: Re: Open Office not opening]

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

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.

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.

Re: AMAZING -- Case of Subscription via a Remailer Address [was: Re: Removing yourself from the list :)]

[Tom Panfil]

Hi Tubular,

Well, I just inspected headers and see that I had fooled myself. My 
original subscription request was:


Subject:   Subscribe to OpenOffice Users Mailing List
Body:   Hello, Subscribe tapan...@ieee.org

My reply to the confirm subscribe to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org  was:

Subject:   Confirm Subscription to ooo-user Mailing List
Body:   Hi, I do want to subscribe to the ooo-users mailing list,
   BUT I would prefer that my mail be set to my 
Reply-To Address: tapan...@ieee.org

   Rather than to my From Address: tap.h...@verizon.net

The resulting WELCOME message said in part:

 Acknowledgment: I have added the address
tap.h...@verizon.net
  to the ooo-users mailing list.
  Welcome to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org!
  Please save this message so that you know the address you are
  subscribed under, in case you later want to unsubscribe or change 
your

  subscription address.

So, my attempt to con the list server to use my IEEE Remailer address 
failed.


It looks like people are not allowed to subscribe via their preferred 
remailer addresses.


You must have actually been seeing people writing from ISP supplied 
addresses other than the ISP provided addresses from which they subscribed.


You must be right -- Maybe some others have been under the same 
misconception which I just aired.  Maybe this will help them.


v/r,

Tom

Tom Panfil wrote:

Hello OpenOffice Apache Moderators,

I don't want to unsubscribe from any of the three project lists to 
which I subscribe (users, dev, api)  but like you,  I've seen too 
many requests sent to the lists from people who want to unsubscribe.  
I assume that something is finally done administratively to 
unsubscribe their addresses since they eventually stop pestering.


Many people who are members of ACM or IEEE or other professional 
associations register using a Remailer Address serviced by the 
organization.  The use of a Remailer Address enables provision of at 
least the following services by the organization:


 * Virus scanning of mail sent to the member's Remailer Address
 * Quarantining of S--- sent to the member's Remailer Address --
   Note that I did not use the S-Word since using it might cause
   Verizon refuse to send the message considering it to be S.
 * Forwarding of non-infected non-S--- messages to the member's ISP
   provided addresses.
 * Ease of changing of ISPs by simply registering a new ISP supplied
   e-mail address with the Remailer Service so that mail sent to the
   Remailer address is forwarded to the member's new current ISP
   provided address.  Correspondents need not be informed of the change
   of ISP.

These people *cannot* send from their Remailer Addresses.  They can 
and usually do include their preferred Remailer Address in the 
Reply-To field of their message headers.  Their e-mail messages are 
sent from their ISP provided addresses.


So, I think that a significant proportion of those who send to the 
list asking to be removed have tried sending to the address in the 
footer of the messages and were not removed from the list since they 
are subscribed with a Remailer Address.  That address from which they 
are send is different from the address which is subscribed


I recommend that some mechanism be established for such subscribers 
to take action to be removed from OpenOffice Apache lists.  The 
instructions they need should be provided in the footer with the 
other three instructions.


I can't imagine that *no* developers and maintainers of OpenOffice 
know of Remailer Addresses.  How could this problem have festered so 
long?   Does the project cadre really not know about Remailer 
Addresses?   If you can maintain Apache projects you must be able to 
understand this dilemma now that I have explained it somewhat 
clearly, I think.


Note that I am subscribed via an IEEE Remailer address.

I'd no doubt have the same problem which these other poor souls have 
if I'd try to unsubscribe.

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

I would like to draw some figures using Draw to be used in a LaTex document, 
but as far as I can see, none of the file formats offered in that programs are 
used in Latex.  Are there (a) some kind of addition to OpenOffice that can 
offer something like .png to .tif files to be exported, or (b) some other 
drawing program to be recommended?

I am using a Mac with OS X.

Showing notes

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

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.

Re: Is Apache Open Office good for sales tax service spreadsheets?

[Tom Goldie]

I'd use the database component of AOO, called Base. If you've used MS Access 
before, you shouldn't have a problem. If you're pretty tech savvy you can 
probably do a tutorial or two and get a good start. Failing that, I'd get 
someone who knows databases to walk you through them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

Hi :)  
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried the Apache OpenOffice 4.0 yet?  

I really liked the sound of the toolbar down the side so i just gave it a quick 
go.  I was a tad disappointed to find that toolbar was in addition to the ones 
we both already have at the top and mostly was just a duplication of many of 
those buttons.  However 1st time try-outs of new things seldom go completely 
smoothly!  lol

I would really like to see both LO and AOO go this route and faster.  At the 
moment all programs seem intent on making the screen more and more like a 
letter-box slit with more and more wasted space at the sides and more and more 
crammed in at the topbottom.  

It's becoming tougher and tougher to see a whole document all at the same time.

To me, the AOO sidebar properties panel adds nothing. As you said, it only 
duplicates the top toolbar. More importantly (for me at least), the styles 
panel is buried *beneath* the properties panel. With LO, this is where I 
dock the styles panel. So, now, with AOO, I have to do an extra click to 
gain access to the styles panel. I've tried several times to find a way to 
put the styles panel on top (as I have absolutely no need for the properties 
panel), and I have yet to find a way that works. I may be missing something 
that the AOO folks can explain to me.

I understand that the properties panel was taken from the Symphony user 
interface. But, much, much, more desirable would have been Symphony's tabbed 
document interface. So many programs have it, and it is soo useful that 
I don't understand why neither LO nor AOO have adopted it (yet).

 That has all sounded like a tfn tbh.  I've never heard of the Err 522

It means circular references, but in my case it probably means
something else, because I have more than double checked: There are no
circular references! Well, I said that before, didn't I? I think so.

 I was hoping it was something trivial such as memory or something.

I always used to file bug reports, but since I switched to LibreOffice
they are just too many. I wouldn't have time for anything else if I
wrote a bug report every time I found a new bug. Maybe I file every
tenth bug or so, so it's not that I'm doing absolutely nothing, but
no, I don't think I filed this particular one. I was going to, but I
would need to attach that particular document, with a lot of data that
I need to rename first and so on, just too much work, especially at
that speed…

Anyway, now that I saved the document with Apache OpenOffice,
LibreOffice opened it much faster and that several minutes wait after
every cell entry was suddenly gone, it now takes approximately one
second. Maybe Apache OpenOffice fixed it somehow?

And even funnier, Apache OpenOffice now takes a few seconds coffee
break for every cell entry in that file (at least it's not minutes)!
If I am going to file a bug report, I am not really sure what to
write, I'm just too confused right now, I don't know what happens;
maybe I'm just dreaming all this…

 2013/4/2 Johnny Rosenberg gurus.knu...@gmail.com:
 A few spreadsheets of mine, those with a lot of formulas with
 references to other cells, sometimes (or rather often in some cases)
 throw error 522 (circular reference) at me.
 In most cases, Ctrl+Shift+F9 cures the problem. Another way is to look
 for the first Err 522 occurance, highlight it, Ctrl+c, then Ctrl+v at
 the same cell.

 Did anyone else see those false Err 522 messages?
 I have seen them for quite a while now, for years, I think. I use
 LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 at the moment.

 Another problem with that sheet is that everything takes unbelievable
 long time. If I enter something in a cell, then hit Enter, I need to
 wait for something like a minute (yes, minute! Not second!) or two
 before anything happens, so the whole sheet is just a waste of time.

 Today I installed LibreOffice 3.6.6, but my problems with that file
 persists.
 The Ctrl+Shift+F9 thing cures the problem (the Err:522 messages
 disappears and are replaced with correct cell values) sometimes, maybe
 once out of 5 or 10 in average, but sometimes when I do that,
 LibreOffice crash. However, so far, when I ”repair” the file, there
 are never any error messages. So I continue entering new values, save
 and close. Next day, when I open the file again, those Err:522
 messages are back again. That's what my life looks like every day
 these days.

 Just for fun, I installed Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 a few minutes ago
 and I tried to open the file with it. After fiddling with macro
 security (adding the path where the file is located), the spreadsheet
 opened, and opened very much faster than LibreOffice. Unfortunately,
 the Err:522 messages was there again, but Apache OpenOffice seems a
 lot faster than LibreOffice, so it doesn't waste my time as much.
 After copying the first one of the Err:522 cells and pasting it to
 itself, all the Err:522 messages were gone again. And that also
 happened much faster than with LibreOffice.

 So now I started to enter new values. As I said above, from hitting
 Enter until LibreOffice stop freezing (it works with something, I
 don't have a clue what) it typically takes a minute or two, maybe
 more. With Apache OpenOffice it took way less than a second.

 I realise that nobody will ever even move a finger to investigate what
 could possible be wrong with the combination ”My Err:522-file” and
 LibreOffice, so I will just run away from the problem and use Apache
 OpenOffice for that particular spreadsheet (and maybe all other office
 documents in the future, but that's too early to say after trying out
 Apache OpenOffice for only

Request Advice on Use of OO's Base MySQL to Accomplish a Task Done Nicely by MS Access

[Tom Panfil]

Hello All,

I've used Open Office on my MacBook Pro for about  three years and
like it, but have not done anything particularly challenging.  I'm using
Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 now.

I need advice as to whether OO's Base with MySQL can be used in a
practical way to do some tasks, before making a major attempt to
switch from MS Access to OO  MySQL for this work.  I started to
make this switch 3 years ago but stopped when I learned that Base
does not include its own database engine.  Sample tasks are as follows:

For many years I used MS Access to facilitate mailing CDs, later DVDs,
to attendees of ACM SIGAda Conferences, now morphed into HILT
Conferences.  I'd use the Conference Attendee List in the Access DB
to perform two jobs to support this work:

 * Print shipping Labels via a DYMO Printer.  The labels would
   include a graphic, the shipping address, the return address,
   and the number of disks to be included in the package.

 * Print US Customs Forms to mail to attendees from outside the
   USA.  Initially the US Forms were a single sheet, then later they
   changed to a triplicate format.  I handled that by separating the
   forms and printing on three copies in succession, being careful
   to keep the forms with the same pre-printed number together.
   The info printed was essentially the same as that used on the
   Shipping Labels.

The critical capability provided by Access, besides driving jobs from its
database, was the capability to control placement of the text very
precisely, to match the fields on the pre-printed forms.

I'd really rather be able to do this job running OO's Base and MySQL
directly from Mac OS X, rather than starting my Windows XP Virtual
Machine, mechanized via Parallels, so that I can use MS Access
from my MS Office XP Professional software.

Do such tasks seem appropriate for OO's Base  MySQL?  Can Base
provide very critical control of the positioning of text?

v/r,

Tom Panfil
