Re: Hi, and a couple of questions

[Peter kovacs]

Hello Michele,

The base component is created to talk to database through odbc or Jdbc 
interfaces. Apache OpenOffice ships an embedded database which base talks 
directly to.

You are welcome to help improve Apache OpenOffice. However development is 
talked on d...@openoffice.apache.org. please write an email there, best 
subscribe to dev. And we can talk try to get you in the development process.

All the best
Peter

Hi, and a couple of questions

[Michele Petrovsky]

Hope this finds you all well.

My initial question.  Am I correct that the component *Base* in Open Office
4.1.14 can create and save databases in widely used formats?  Or is it
limited to ODF?

As important to me: I'd like nothing better than to volunteer for several
of the items on your *Help Wanted* page.  I've been retired now for about
three years, but prior to that I have a long history in IT, including
programming, documenting, and teaching.  I can honestly say that I could
easily handle any of the items in your *Easy* section, and at least a few
in *Medium*.

I look forward to discussing my volunteering for Open Office.

Re: Calc Spreadsheet Questions (Linda)

[PCS]

1.  Make the font size bigger, then make the row height bigger, to fit the 
selected font size, or select optimal height to have the spreadsheet 
automatically adjust the row height for the text size, and also to auto-adjust 
for multiple lines of text in a cell if you use text wrapping, and finally 
adjust the cell width to fit the larger text or to determine where to wrap it.

•   If it is possible to change the default font size I don't know how, but 
if you create a template with the settings you prefer and save it as stationery 
you can open a new document that is ready to use without having to change font 
sizes etc.

2.  I don’t know how Windows deals with this but I believe OO and LO are 
pretty consistent across platforms (they certainly are on Mac and Linux, that 
is one of their ’selling’ points), so try copying the data in the Word document 
and using Edit / Paste Special / Paste Special… (in the first Paste Special 
menu), and in the next dialog box select “Use text import dialog”, then OK. 
Using LO on the Mac (I’ve recently switched from OO) that placed a group of tab 
or return separated numbers (see below) from a text document into different 
cells in the spreadsheet and made them able to be used in it (a simple copy and 
paste does not do this, it ignores the tabs and puts a whole row of numbers 
into a single cell). I’m pretty sure OO did the much same on the Mac and it 
should be pretty similar on Windows. Expert users probably have a better way of 
doing this, which could be worth learning if you are doing it often, but if you 
only do it occasionally and this works for you why waste time and effort 
learning to become an expert, just use the tools that you already have to hand.

123 456 789
987 654 321

This group of numbers was pasted into a spreadsheet as described above.

123 456 789 
1368
987 654 321 
1962





111011101110
3330





And these calculations were performed on them (the imported text size has been 
adjusted to be the same as the other text in this document).

•   If I have misunderstood and you are copying from a Spreadsheet to a 
text document, a simple copy and paste should work, though some text resizing 
and tidying up may be required. To copy largish portions of a sheet you could 
make a screen pic of the portion you want to use and insert that into your text 
document, but it will be displayed as a graphics object instead of being 
integrated into the text. If all that you want is a particular sheet or a 
selected portion of a sheet, with no other text or data that is not in the 
spreadsheet itself, it may be better just to save the selected portion of the 
spreadsheet as a PDF document, e.g. my wife operates a very small business and 
I do her monthly invoices that way and email out the PDF documents, because we 
can’t justify the cost of proper invoicing software for such a micro-business.

3.  Sorry, I’m not sure what’s happening there, maybe a Windows issue or 
maybe an OO setting that I’ve forgotten exists, or maybe something else 
entirely.

I hope some of this may be of use to you,

Peter.

Calc Spreadsheet Questions

[Linda Hull]

I'm on Windows 10, Open Office 4.1.11.

I'd like to:

1. Make the cells and text in a Calc spreadsheet larger, easier to read.
2. Put data on a spreadsheet that appears in a Writer document.  I send
simple letters, don't know page styles etc.

Are there directions somewhere or can someone explain the steps?

3. In the past, when I've saved and reopened a spreadsheet, the headings I
put in appear lower down.  Is there a way to make them stay at the top?

Thanks so much!

Linda

As it seems you are choosing Windows 10 for this, try Windows Deployment 
Services (the internet has dozens of sites that explain it).  (The client 
should probably have a Windows Server machine anyway, to manage the deployment.

That’s ironic because Lotus123 eventually became Symphony which was built on 
OpenOffice and then IBM donated code to Apache OpenOffice which LibreOffice

RE: BASE questions

[Roy Wood]

Hi I  am curious to know if you got any useful reply to your mail back on 
29/7/19 regarding Base.

I have found that it always an item that not many are familiar with and tend o 
leave Base alone and consencreate 
0n the the equivilent to Excel.

I am trying to convert an industrial program in excel to Base.

I wnote to colleges locally and needless to say none offered even the Ms base. 
Not even our local 
Uni so am slowing making my way through using the Internet.

I'm new to Base and discovering just how ignorant I am despite 40 years 
working in IT.  I have created a simple data base with three tables.  
When trying to create relationships and forms it's become obvious that 
some of my field definitions need to be changed.  Problem 1: how can I 
display all of the variables I used to specify each field?    Problem 2: 
I created a table and made a mess of it.  How can I delete that table?  
DROP TABLE ... hasn't worked.  Problem 3:  The ID in my main table is a 
numeric sequential number.  Can I define the field so that the number is 
automatically assigned using a field type?

Hello Mike,

Don't have all your answers off the top of my head, however for an auto
incrementing id use field type Integer with Autovalue set to YES.

BASE questions

[Mike]

I'm new to Base and discovering just how ignorant I am despite 40 years 
working in IT.  I have created a simple data base with three tables.  
When trying to create relationships and forms it's become obvious that 
some of my field definitions need to be changed.  Problem 1: how can I 
display all of the variables I used to specify each field?    Problem 2: 
I created a table and made a mess of it.  How can I delete that table?  
DROP TABLE ... hasn't worked.  Problem 3:  The ID in my main table is a 
numeric sequential number.  Can I define the field so that the number is 
automatically assigned using a field type?


Background:  I'm working in OpenOffice 4.1.6 on a MacBook Pro running 
MacOS 0.13.6.  My first reference is to LibreOffice 4.0 Base Handbook, 
OO helps, OpenOffice Forum, then finally Google.  I assume that 
LibreOffice BASE and OO BASE are sufficiently similar that LO 
documentation should be relevant to OO BASE.

Re: open office questions

[Alan B]

Hi Jon,
I'm responding to offer some thoughts about your invoicing requirements. If
you've thought it through, you're all set. If not, you might want to
consider some of the following.
Will you need to track status of invoices?
 - paid / unpaid
 - partial paid and balance due
Report on invoices?
 - total invoices mailed this month
 - total of invoices paid this month
What will the volume be like?
 - a few a month or many each week?
 - how do you envision producing them? e.g. fill in spaces on a document
and print the document or fill in a form on the screen, taxes and totals
automatically calculated and then invoice printed.

OpenOffice can certainly all of it Depending on the amount of automation
you desire making it happen will be simple or require more than basic
skill. If you only need to fill out a paper invoice with no automation,
that would be a basic form in Writer. If you want automation OpenOffice can
meet the need but the system needs to be built. If you want automation and
aren't up to building it, consider an invoicing program. I searched "open
source invoice software" and got the following links which may help you
decide.
https://opensource.com/article/18/10/open-source-invoicing-tools
http://opensourcebilling.org/
https://www.bambooinvoice.net/

I hope the above is useful.

Re: open office questions

Jon, Apache Open Office is totally free.  It does everything that Microsoft
does, except bleed your cash reserves.  It would be ideal for your needs.
I, and 1000's like me, use it all the time and love it.  Google "apache
open office" for full info.

Re: Open Office Questions

[Doug]

Jon,

I don't represent Apache OpenOffice in any official way but I can tell you 
this: OpenOffice and Microsoft Word are two entirely different program 
suites. Microsoft Office is a commercial suite that you have to buy but the 
OpenOffice suite is completely free.  The bulk of my experience is with the 
word processor elements in each suite.  I have found there is nothing in 
Microsoft Word that I cannot duplicate in OpenOffice.  I have no real 
experience with the other elements of these suites so there may be something 
in the accounting or data base side that you specifically need from 
Microsoft.  Given that OpenOffice is completely free you should at least try 
it out before you make up your mind.  Good luck.

I think there is a way to accomplish my wish; I 
might have done it once before, but a long time

I have created an XY (Scatter) - Lines Only 
graph based on data contained in $G$6:$G$41. The 
existing graph has a Y-axis that shows 0 to 700 
(increments of 100) and an X-axis that shows 0 
to 40 (increments of 5).  My questions concern the Y-axis:


1. I want the Y-axis display to start at 300 
(350 would be even better) and end at 700 (650 would be even better).
2. It would also be GREAT if the Y-axis is 
scaled in increments of say 5, or 10, between 
350 (start/minimum) and 650 (end/maximum).


If any of this is indeed possible, what must I do ?


o First select the chart. To do this you need to 
double-click it, so you see a thin grey border, 
not the eight green handles and the anchor symbol 
that you get from a single click.
o Now double-click the y-axis itself or its scale 
labels. Alternatively, you can right-click the 
axis and select Format Axis... or go to Format | Axis >| y-Axis... .
o On the Scale tab, remove ticks from relevant 
Automatic boxes, and set Minimum to 350, Maximum 
to 650, and Major interval to 10.


My other questions are about 
editing/revising/correcting the labels assigned to a existing graph:


1. For example, if I made a typo in the Title of 
a graph, what must I do to correct the error, 
w/o creating the graph from scratch?

3. Or, can I add a Subtitle to an existing graph?


o Select the chart as above.
o Right-click the chart area and select Insert Titles... .
o Add, modify, or remove Title or Subtitle.


2. Or, if a Legend is included, how can it be removed?


o Select the chart as above.
o Right-click the chart area and select Delete Legend.

Questions surrounding pythonscript.py

[InfoSecOps]

Hello!

I have questions surrounding the pythonscript.py located within OpenOffice 3.4. 
I am trying to gain a better understanding of how it is used.
(File location: ..\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program\ pythonscript.py)


What is the purpose of pythonscript.py in OpenOffice and is it required? Can it 
be renamed or possibly removed without issues? What specific functionality 
would be lost?

Thanks!
Jeff O'Connell

You can't; when you install I think the Windows version will allow you

Re: questions

No you will not lose your files and you will be able to access your old
files.  If you are really worried that you will you could back them up
temporarily to a USB stick.

You have not said what your operating system is.  If it is Win10, have a
look at "Start" -  "Settings" - "System" and under "Display" make sure
that the "Change the size of text, apps and other items" is set to the
recommended 150% or greater.

Good morning,

I love open office and have used it for many years. My question is if I
download the newest version will it erase all of my saved files? And
can I access the current files I have on this newer version and from my
old computer.

Next for some reason I hit something and my window screen and font is
very small, even with the settings I have for my font. I have searched
for a long time for the answers, the saved ones view ok but it is when
I want to create a new text document.  Seems ok in spreadsheet. I sent
an attachment. Please help as I had to print out papers to the Dr using
my email and printing it off.

Thanks, looking forward to wondering what I hit. Since my stroke my

Delete the first two lines from the CSV file to get the columns correct 
remember that each spreadsheet looks at the first line to

find what columns to use, then open it in Calc.
Because there are a lot of spaces in front of the values it is interpret 
as text not as numbers, the way OpenOffice handles text

it puts the ` in front of the number.
If you remove all the spaces it will load correctly as numbers. To save 
you a lot of time there is an option with importing CSV files
tick the Detect special numbers and it will handle the values as numbers 
instead of text.

If you are on MacOSX it is easy to keep different versions by renaming your 
existing OpenOffice App in the Finder.

The installation will remove 4.1.2 and replace it with 4.1.5.

If for some reason you need both versions available there is a way it

Although you don't need to clean up the program you have downloaded the 
installation file probably to your download directory.
When you install OpenOffice it create a directory with installation 
files normally on your Desktop these files and directory for

the 4.1.2 release are obsolete and can be deleted.

Re: installation questions

hello.
but its one advantage of openoffice which i observed.
when i only use writer, i can only install writer, not whole program!
i wish that libreoffice did not remove this valuable feature.
and about visual c, i asked question about the reason that why
openoffice needs visual c and libreoffice not.
i appreciate if someone explane me the reason.
God bless you all.

openoffice by default installs visual c 2008, but libreoffice not.

also, you can use custom installation to select which optional

I think you have a misunderstanding of what OpenOffice does.  While it
can create PDF files, it's not intended to be used as a PDF reader.

Yes. Here is one way.
o Position the cursor at the target text.
o Go to Insert | Bookmark... and give the bookmark a name.
o Select the text that you want to act as a hyperlink.
o Go to Insert | Hyperlink (or click the Hyperlink button in the 
Standard toolbar).
o Under "Target in document", click the "Target in Document" button, 
to the right of the Target box.
o In the "Target in Document" panel, click the plus sign against 
Bookmarks to expand the list.

o Select the relevant bookmark.
o Click Apply and Close.
o In the Hyperlink panel, click Apply and Close.
Note that you use Ctrl+click to use the hyperlink.

Why do words that you've ignored in a spellcheck continue to show up 
with the red squiggly underline even after you saved the file? You 
take the time and address all the tagged words but it is just temporary.


I can't tell you why, but this is clearly by design.

o The Ignore and Ignore All functions are useful, despite applying 
only to the current editing session. If, for example, you have a 
proper name that occurs a number of times in your document but does 
not occur in the dictionaries, it is useful to be able to confirm 
with Ignore All that all your copies of it are identical - that you 
haven't misspelled one or more of them, that is.


o If you want words not currently in the dictionary to be remembered 
for next time you edit the document, you can use Add (instead of 
Ignore) to add the word to your custom dictionary. The standard 
custom dictionary is "standard.dic", but you can add others, so you 
could even create a special dictionary for use only with a specific 
document. To create dictionaries, control their use, and edit their 
contents, go to Tools | Options... | Language Settings | Writing Aids 
| User-defined dictionaries.


I trust this helps.

Hi,

1.
Is there no cost at all, to use the Math and Draw component APPs on the Mac
environment?

2.
Will these APPs also work on the iPHONE?

Best wishes,

Paul

Basic Calc/Spreadsheet Questions

[Linda Hull]

Is there a written Tutorial for making charts in AOO 4.1.2? I haven't found
much.

I want to make a pie chart.

I have a list of country names and numbers:
390 CA
337 GB
286 NL
234 DE
 51KR
 46RU
 44EG

Calc appears to handle the CA GB NL as second column of data, but doesn't
know how to assign them values.

I would like the chart to have a key that shows the colors of the segment
and has the Country Code beside it:

[purple] CA
[green] GB
[yellow] NL

Is there a way to rotate the pie, so that I can pick which segments are in
front? Can the colors be changed?

How do I get a title to appear in the Chart? One time it worked. The next
time each word in the title ended up with a color marker by it, like a key;
but I couldn't make it do that again.

Separately:
I've had problems keeping titles at the tops of spreadsheets. When
reopened, they often end up below the table.

I appreciate all your help.

Sincerely,

Linda

Yes: Chapter 3 "Creating Charts and Graphs: Presenting information 
visually" in the Calc Guide. See

https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/images/d/d0/0303CG33-ChartsAndGraphs.pdf .

There's a section on pie charts.

You need to swap the order of your columns: to have the labels to the 
left of the values.

Tick "Display legend" in the fourth step ("Chart Elements") of the 
Chart Wizard.

are in front?


Reorder your data. The segments appear to be presented starting at 
the top and working anticlockwise.



Can the colors be changed?


Yes - at Tools | Options... | Charts | Default Colours.


How do I get a title to appear in the Chart?


Add it in the fourth step ("Chart Elements") of the Chart Wizard.


Separately:
I've had problems keeping titles at the tops of spreadsheets. When 
reopened, they often end up below the table.


Really?

You can create titles by entering them into suitable spreadsheet 
cells - or suitable merged cells. You can also enter a header at 
Format | Page... | Header | Edit... and similarly for a footer. I 
don't see why any of these should move around.


I trust this helps.

Thanks so MUCH!

I'll try this when I'm more awake and then I might have more questions.

I don't do spreadsheets at other than a trivial level, but I can tell you that 
one can freeze the first rows/columns by positioning the cursor in the first 
row/column one does not wish to freeze and selecting /Window /Freeze.

I am using open office 4.1.1 and using Mozilla for my internet. I am trying to

Re: questions about the extensions for open office

[Jim McLaughlin]

In Writer in OO 4.1.1:

File> New > Labels

You'll get a box with three tabs.  The first tab (Labels) gives you a
panel on the right side about 2/3 of the way down the panel to select a
label format by  label manufacturer and form number, *e.g.* "Avery 5160
Address".

Other parts of that panel give you the opportunity to custom define a  label

Just two simple questions


These may be a little too simple ...


1. what do I type to get a total of highlighted cells?


I'm guessing that you mean spreadsheet cells, not table cells in a 
text document? And by "total" you mean the sum of their values, not 
the total number of cells? And by  "highlighted", you mean selected 
cells - not either having a background colour, or formatted to show, 
say, negative numbers highlighted in a different colour, or 
highlighted differently by View | Value Highlighting?


I don't think spreadsheets work in the way that you expect. Any 
formula you enter has to be entered in cell, and if you had cells 
already selected, the formula would overwrite one of them. If you 
created the formula first and selected multiple cells afterwards, you 
would still be expecting OpenOffice to recalculate formulae every 
time you made a  selection or modified one. Spreadsheets don't do that.


There are ways that you can achieve something like what you seem to need:

o You can construct a formula - probably including the IF() function 
- which will calculate the sum of the relevant cells based on some 
criterion, without the need to select the cells to identify them.


o You can filter a column of values so as to hide some rows and leave 
only the relevant rows. Note that the SUM() function will not help 
here, as it will still include values in the hidden rows; but you can 
use the SUBTOTAL() function with 9 as its first argument to sum only 
those values that are in rows that are not hidden.



2. what do I type to get the total (multiple) of two highlighted cells?


Sorry, but I don't know what a "multiple total" is. If this question 
is not the same as the first one, then I don't understand it. Do you 
perhaps here mean the sum of values but in the first question you 
meant the count of the values? In that case, the solutions are 
similar; the equivalent to the COUNT() function that omits values in 
hidden rows is SUBTOTAL(2;...).


I trust this helps.

I have no idea if you can change the default, but as a workaround 
you can add en entry to the edit menu.

   Go to Tools -- Customize
   Select the Menus tab and the Edit menu click the Add button
   From the menu select Edit as Category and Paste Unformatted Text

In this context, it's perhaps worth commenting that there is also 
already a keyboard shortcut for this function:

o Ctrl+V: ordinary Paste

o Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V: Paste Unformatted Text

Questions - Fragen

[Uwe Peters, NW]

I have two problems/questions which I am not able to resolve myself:

1) example : I work from 07:30 until 16:15 = 8 3/4 hours of working time. What 
do I have to do in my tabular document to receive automatically the number 8 
3/4 resp. 8,75 hours of working time by subtracting the time of begin 07:30 
from the time of end 16:15
in order to be able to continue calculating with this normal number, for 
instance to automatically calculate my time rate by dividing my salary of 
120,00 $ by 8 3/4 resp. 8,75 hours of working time = 13,71 $/hour ?

2) I know how to mark neighboring lines in a document at once in order to 
change the formating ecc. BUT how can I mark NOT neighboring lines at once ??? 
I tried so many possibilities
 but without any success. When I have to change all the same formating in a 
number of not neighboring lines, I have to change the necessary formating line 
by line. Very, very laborious :-(

Is there any help for me 

Thank you so much !

Cordially
Uwe


Ich habe zwei Probleme/Fragen, die ich selbst nicht lösen kann:

1) zum Beispiel: ich arbeite von 07:30 bis 16:15 = 8 3/4 bzw. 8,75 
Arbeitsstunden. Was muss ich in meinem Tabellendokument tun, um  die Zahl 8 3/4 
bzw. 8,75 automatisch errechnen zu lassen durch Subtraktion der Anfangszeit 
07:30 von der Endzeit 16:15,
 und um in der Lage zu sein, mit dieser normalen Zahl weiter zu rechnen, 
z.B um meinen Stundenlohn automatisch errechnen zu lassen durch Division meines 
Lohnes von 120,00 € durch  die 8 3/3 bzw. 8,75 Std. Arbeitszeit = 13,71 € ?

2) Ich weiß wie man in einem Dukument benachbarte Zeilen gleichzeitig markiert, 
z.B. um überall die Formatierung etc. zu ändern. ABER wie kann ich NICHT 
benachbarte Zeilen auf einmal markieren ???
 Ich habe alles probiert, aber ohne Erfolg. Wenn ich also in nicht 
benachbarten Zeilen dieselben Änderungen durchführen will, kann ich das nur 
Zeile für Zeile tun. Höchst umstaändlich :-(

Gibt es Hilfe 

Vielen, vielen Dank

 We can have endless discussions on this (as we can have endless

 sender). The current setup is the standard Apache setup and our tools have
 limited configuration options, that we already explored in detail together
 with the Infra team.

 there no on-line forum for AOO?


 What? The forum is at https://forum.openoffice.org/ it handles 100+ help
 requests per day in 10 languages, it is maintained by the project and
 hosted on an Apache Software Foundation server and it is the first option
 listed at http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html

  I joined because I wanted the interaction of other users and clues to
 problems and solutions of the AOO software.


 This is exactly the spirit of this list. We very much prefer that users
 subscribe, and you'll hardly find a link to this list on our site that
 comes without the recommendation to subscribe. Still, it seems many users
 prefer to send a quick mail rather than using the forum, and this is why we
 currently allow non-subscribed members to post.

it should be noted that when i send a copy of the message to the sender, it is 
sometimes attenuated by their mail server as being spammy. so, the one who asks 
the question may not receive an answer even if the one who replies is aware of 
their non-subscriber status.

We had one version where multimedia support was broken on Mac. This is 
fixed in the just released version 4.1.1. You may want to try with that.



Secondly, I have many graphics I have imported in eps format.
Several times during a writing session, the graphics will all become
very small and unreadable, at which point I have to shut the
software, save and re-open.  Is there some way to avoid this hassle?


That never happened to me. If you have a way to reproduce it 
consistently you can share the documents and we can open a bug report. 
Other people solved similar issues by increasing the cache for images 
and graphics. You can search our official forum 
https://forum.openoffice.org/ if you don't know how to do that.

Non-subscriber questions

[Scooter]

Good Morning Group,

May I suggest that only LIST subscribers should be allowed to ask 
questions. That would reduce all those folks who ask questions and don't 
receive answers, because they are non-subscribers.


I applaud all the moderators for their efforts to help the 
non-subscribers, but it seems there should be a requirement that people 
should be subscribers of this LIST to ask questions or a better vehicle 
to ask questions without joining.
There are a lot of intelligent people on this LIST and at Apache. Why is 
there no on-line forum for AOO? That allows open questions and 
answers. I assume that you are trying to promote good will for new 
comers to AOO. It doesn't appear to be working.


I joined because I wanted the interaction of other users and clues to 
problems and solutions of the AOO software.
I had originally got caught up in the Libre Office group list which told 
me I was in the wrong place and had the incorrect Open Office software. 
I corrected that error.


Take Care.

I think there is a limit as to how much hand-holding or baby-sitting 
should be expected.  There are thousands of mailing lists that offer 
tech support or rather community support for a multitude of products.  
Those that allow non subscribers to post and ask questions (knowing that 
a very large percentage of those will never see the answers) can be 
counted on one's fingers.  There must be a web page somewhere pointing 
to this mailing list (otherwise none of of us would have found it).  
Explain it there that only registered users can post to the list because 
that is the only way they can receive responses.  The moderators have 
plenty to do without having to verify that everyone who posts is registered.


Of course, with that comes the endless chain of complaints why can't I 
unsubscribe or stop sending me these messages which also come from 
users wanting someone else to do everything for them and can't be 
bothered to read the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of every 
email they receive from the list.  As far as hiding these comments as 
part of the signatures, I've never seen an email client that hides 
signatures on an original email.  That would be foolish. They only hide 
them on the responses to those emails because the original senders don't 
need to see their own signatures.  Those who say otherwise are unwilling 
to admit that they are too lazy or too stupid to find and follow the 
instructions.


Either way, there will be some whiners.  I say let them whine!!! To 
someone who claims to be a newbie and doesn't understand the jargon, 
which really can be confusing to those unfamiliar with it, I would take 
the time to explain in non-technical terms ONE TIME. After that, their 
complaints would be relegated to an email filter. I don't know of any 
email client which doesn't provide such filters.


Just my not-so-humble opinion.

If there are users who still can't cope with these methods, my opinion 
is that they should find alternative methods to perform their tasks.

It is one of the options we have already investigated without success: 
it is a limitation of ezmlm-idx, the software we use. It allows to send 
a message when a post is rejected (i.e., spam or completely irrelevant 
content), but not when a post is held in moderation or when it is 
accepted (which would be the best scenario). We investigated all the 
options that were in turn proposed on this list or other lists: nothing 
is readily feasible.


That said, it is not impossible to get these features into ezmlm: one 
needs to start from http://untroubled.org/ezmlm/ ; development is not 
steady but they do apply patches (if you look, the last patch was 
submitted by myself last May and integrated shortly afterwards).


Regards,
  Andrea.

Select the image and in the export dialog check Selection. Do not use 
Save as picture from the context menu, because that ignores cropping

Thanks for the information.  The bug number, by the way, is 117931. 
It's probably related to the interaction between OpenOffice and the 
driver for this specific printer.  Upgrading OpenOffice from 3.2 to 3.3 
caused printing to become *painfully* slow.  Then, upgrading the HP 
printer driver slightly alleviated the problem, but it's still very, 
very slow.

Select the image and choose Save as Picture... from the context menu.

 Also, on a different subject:  I reported a legitimate bug in the program a
 while back (by legitimate, I mean functionality that worked in version 3.2
 but not in 3.3).  How can I put a bounty on the bug?

I've no idea, but do you have the bug number?

Nancy,

Presuming in #1 you mean a single cell...

My favorite method to highlight one is Ctrl+click.

a couple of quick questions

[jonathandl]

I have two (unrelated) questions.  First, I wrote a bug report way back
and was wondering if there is an (approved) way to put a bounty on
the bug?

Second, I have noticed a compatibility issue that occurs with only one
document:  it (apparently) was created (by someone else) in Microsoft
Word, and displays in Mac Snow Leopard TextEdit, but does not display
correctly in OpenOffice.  Is this a reasonable topic for a bug report?
(I don't quite see it as a support request, since opening the document
in TextEdit is a successful workaround; my concern is more that OpenOf-
fice seems not to be perfectly compatible with Word yet.)

Re: a couple of quick questions

[Alexandro Colorado]

Nothing is 100% compatible, Google Docs, etc. And like you didn't
mentioned, what is the actual issue. There are thousands of different
characteristics that goes in a document, compatibility is not a one or
two things. Just because TextEdit is compatible on that feature doesnt
mean the rest will.
