[users] Graphics links not updated in Write
I am using X11 on Panther (MacOS X 10.3.8) and OOo 1.1.1 (I know, it's not the latest one available...) The problem I have is caused when, after I create a new Write document, on my template which has a full page graphic for a background, and I also insert my scanned signature, I then go on to file my new document in its proper directory, only to discover that, when I re-open it, the graphics (background image as well as inserted signature) are not read, and all I see is the signature placeholder with no graphics whatsoever. Nothing at all shows instead of the first page background image. Is there a way to avoid this? Can I instruct OOo to re-read the graphics from their source files? I am little confused, because I see that the filename and path have been preserved within the signature placeholder. All that's changed is the location of the Write document itself, so why can it not go to the path it knows already and read the signature?

Hi Ger,
I had a look at the Setup_Guide after your post. Concerning the Debian
install it says that ... If you already had an older version, dpkg will
upgrade it rather then installing both versions at once.
AAMOF, in my case, both versions were left on my PC (although I didn't
try to run 1.9.79 after installing 1.9.82, the full directory was there.).
May be the Guide is reflecting a future situation, when everything will
have been settled down? I would think so, also because it refers to a
single openoffice.deb (dpkg -i openoffice,deb), whereas, at present,
at least 19 *.deb's spring out of the .deb.tar.gz package.

After I had downloaded OpenOffice, I noted that some of my WordPerfect files had been converted to OpenOffice files with no options to convert it back to WP without changing the format. When I think of the ones developing this program, the word idiots come to my mind, but I will not use it, since it is not nice to do so.

Re: [users] [moderated]
Eh, Perhaps you don't quite understand that OOo is open software. The mailing lists are the principle ( and very effective ) way of providing support. Software and support are free. The developers who can all be contacted personally on mailing lists, are a bunch of volunteers. Anyone in the entire Internet can file a bug, though it may not be taken seriously. And lastly, if I said something wrong, or just plain dumb here, somebody will correct me. Like democracy, it ain't perfect but its better than Microsoft. PS if in fact there is no CA thesaurus ( theres regional capability for many languages ) then you could help write one, you don't need to be able to write code, just text.

[users] Odd behaviour with incorrectly set clock
This is probably more a curiosity than anything, but it might ring a bell with someone. I was running OO 1.1.3 on Debian PPC (iBook), and it so happened that the system clock was way off (giving a date of Jan 1904) probably as a result of PRAM corruption during an OSX upgrade plus failing to get a network connection. While this state presisted, OO failed to refresh the screen properly and was effectively unusable. On correcting the clock normal service was resumed.

Henningson, Canada The answer to your problem is found on page 27 of the User's Guide. It comes as part of the download as SETUP_GUIDE.pdf. Do a search on your hard drive(s) for this file. The section you want on page 27 is Assigning File Types. I have to admit that this is the first time someone mentioned OpenOffice.org changing the icons for WP files. Did you perhaps save some of them using MS Office formats? (*.doc, *.ppt, *.xls, etc.) Perhaps you are having more problems than you anticipated because you have not taken the time to learn how it works. While the emphasis in the English version may seem to be based on American whims, it is used in many different English speaking countries around the world. It is used by people in many different languages in their own languages. This includes character languages such as Chinese and Japanese. I understand how frustrating learning a new program can be. That does not always mean that the program is at fault. I have worked with one for several days before I discovered I had made a very serious error. Once I corrected my error, the program ran as advertized. But I was very unhappy until I found my error.

Really? Then you deleted the original files as OOo only imports WP files and does not export them. If you did not delete the originals then they are still on your system somewhere. Did you select that OOo would be the default application for handling your documents? If yes, then this was a choice that you made during installation by selecting the options.

[users] [moderated] Updates and securitiy patches
I want to forward two questions our admins asked me recently, in : a) Is there a strategy or a roadmap for updates and security patches for the future and how often will this occure? b) The security patch of last friday can only be applied to the last version of OpenOffice.org (1.1.4). Is this a general policy of the OpenOffice Team, that only the latest version will be patched? This is important to be able to do a real planning of the work. We have to admin about 6000 PCs and we recently started deploying OpenOffice.org 1.1.2, then last Friday the news of this security gap came in. So we stopped the rollout and are now creating a new package with the patched version of 1.1.4.

[users] TL645MI.DLL installation error
I've installed OpenOffice 1.1.4 in a PC running with WinXP and had no problems at all. When I tried to install the same installation files in a PC with Win Me (Millennium Edition) I've got the TL645MI.DLL error and the suggestion to restart my computer (with no better results... of course). I think it shouldn't be a corrupted download because it worked out the first time in the other computer. How can I fix this problem? I've read that other people had the same trouble..

Since I do not like (hate) Microsoft Office, yet have to use it for my job, I would really like to try Open Office. Reccomend with all my heart that you download OOo114 and wait for the announcement that OOo2 stable is released. How can I safoy this, so that you don't think I'm disparaging OpenOffice.org version 2? OOo2 doesn't exist yet. It is a beta. Currently all beta2s are not ready for daily use. However, if you wish to persist, then realize that part of the cost of running beta software is to report problems to the issuezilla and not to write asking how to do something in OOo2. It is getting better but there are still demons in it. OOo2 is not a release. It is beta. It may eat your dog. Downloaded several files already and installed (as a test) Version 2 (beta version). Also downloaded several dictionary files. Yet, the folder dictinstaller contains only 3 gif images, but no exe file. the link found on the website: http://www.ooodocs.org/dictinstall/ does not lead anywhere (dnserror) Question: How/where do I get the dictionary installer?ç It is incorporated into OOo114 in the menu: File--AutoPilot--InstallNewDictionaries You can use it at least 2 ways, off-line if you have previously downloaded the DictPack for the languages you need, from here: http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html ; or while on-line, it will find them and install the dictionaries you choose. On-line is probably the simplest and least error prone. There is a bug with some of the OOo2betas, so this menu entry doesn't always work. You can still activate the macro manually but then you need to go looking in the directories where you installed OOo. Do I need that for Version 2 (it says it works only for Version 1) If not, how do I install the dictionaries? Without dictionaries the Writer would be close to useless. Well, just not as useful as it could be. regards, Richard. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

If you are a KDE user then use the quickstarter so you only have the long wait once. As for 1.9, get about the same performance with m94 as with 1.1.4.

Re: [users] TL645MI.DLL installation error
I searched the forums and www and found 2-3 reported incidents of this error (in english anyway) however none discussed a solution. Do you have that .dll on your system? Could it be that it is missing on the winME install? Agree with you on the corrupted download. Don't think this has been much of a help. Sorry...

Re: [users] Screw up
Andy: Most of us'n Canuck spell it eh. Chris This is kind of strange -- cause I can pick from 12 different version of English (including one for Canada --ay) , and flip between UK and US versions regularly, and I have never seen open office convert a file without popping up a dialog box warning me that I am going to overwrite an existing file or loose some formatting or something. I am also not sure that I would save Open Office and Word perfect files with the same extension, I would think that would get confusing.

[users] working with templates
I saw these instructions for making a new template. I'm not familiar with when/how you do that rather than just opening OpenOffice. 1.1.4. One thing I don't like about OOo is the breaks between pages where some of the text I paste from websites end up not being there, but, apparently, 'hiding' in the black 'trench' between pages. Only way I can see any or part of what's there is to make the font really tiny and then it all may get on the page I pasted onto. Will making a template allow me to get rid of that feature? I do believe that some of my documents don't lose part of the text pasted, but others do. Following the instructions below, If I tried experimenting with different styles or view of the OOo 1.1.4 doc, and save it, will that affect all the other docs I have created or will create in the future, or does it just apply locally to the document I'm working in? 1.Open a new, empty document 2. Edit it until it makes a good template. For example, edit the Styles in the Stylist. Thank you, Joan

The idea behind a template, is that you define a series of styles that you want to use in all of your documents. You can then create a new document using your template. Your newly created document will have all of the styles and text of your original template. If you later change the styles in a template, the next time you open a document created with the template, you can apply the new styles to the existing document.
