Re: PLEASE Help. I cannot open an Open Office file saved to my desktop.
My apologies if I am stating the obvious, but maybe it can be opened by another application. If you are using a Macintosh, right-click on the OO document and select "Open With” and try one of the non-default apps in the list. I have found that you can usually get usable text if you open an inaccessible document with TextEdit, though you may have to strip out a lot of formatting characters to make it easily readable, then copy it to and reformat it in a new WP document. If you are using Windows I assume it must have some equivalent of the Mac’s “Open With”.

Re: Please help- file lost
I have also had this problem, this year was the first time ever in 29 years w/ computers. Was working w/ someone else in a rush working from home w/ out her office equipment. You are not alone! Can you look through all the other places where you might have saved an earlier version? I now save documents and other important files in a variety of places going along. Documents folder, desktop, specifically named folder for that type of file, project folder etc. Messy but necessary for the way I work. You can also set up a backup to an external hard drive/ rocket stick or dongle etc so as to save elsewhere than your computer incase of hard drive problems. Every time I save a document it gets a slightly different name. As an example... name, date, v 1,2 etc. V being version for that date. Messy but reliable. You may have a slightly earlier version somewhere which would avoid you having to redo everything. Can you do a general search w/ slightly different names? You can also email versions to yourself. You will then have the file in your email as sent & received mail boxes. Do this at the end of the day. Good luck! We have all been there & it is a hard learned lesson. Everyone has this story too so don’t feel to bad just deal with it for the future.

I'm having to guess that you are talking about entering data into a spreadsheet document, not a word processor one. Is that so? This facility offers possible entries as you type, taken from existing entries in other rows in the same column. No, I don't see any way to adjust the order of the suggestions. But yes, there is certainly a way to suppress this facility: just go to Tools | Cell Content > | AutoInput and toggle it off there. If you find yourself - as it seems - often entering similar entries in a spreadsheet column, you may wish to consider using Data Validity. o Select a cell range - perhaps all or most of a column - and go to Data | Validity... . o On the Criteria tab, for Allow, select List. o Enter your repertoire of allowable values in the Entries box. o Select other options as desired. Now when you move to a cell in the range to enter a value, you will see a down-arrow to its right. Click that with the mouse and select the particular entry you need. Note that this technique can avoid entering slight misspellings or variations that may create errors in your spreadsheet but can be quite difficult to spot. I trust this helps.

You say "I can find that function.", but it sounds like you mean that you cannot find the equivalent function in Calc. Can you recall what the function might be called in Excel? A function to "add certain lines to a total" doesn't give us much to go on, so can you provide a more detailed description of how the function worked, or outline the steps you took when using that function?

I must confess, I am spoiled as a very long term Apple Mac user and if I cannot figure out how to use an application without looking for a user's guide or manual I tend to walk away from the application and try another. Having said that, I love this application suite much better than MS Office. Okay, so it does not have some items we have become used to in their suite of apps, but no biggie as far as I can tell.

Re: Please help. Having problems with Calc
If you have selected multiple sheets either by purpose or accidentally data entries or changes are done on all selected sheets. This can be handy if you like to enter formulas on multiple sheets, but as you experienced it can be a disaster when you're not aware of it.

On the page "IQ" is one solution to generating a sequence of random numbers, without duplicating any numbers. For your specific use-case, change the random number multiplier to 69, from whatever the formula uses. Then, if there are less than 69 numbers in the initial column, increase the number to 69, and create additional rows, and columns, as needed. In essence, you need to add one column, for every row that is added.

As you are using Windows do this by: Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
