Re: [users] envelope printing
Check out: http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/word_processing/048.html That's a FAQ question, I found made a BIG difference. BTW, I have an HP PSC500. I find, even with my Word Perfect, I have to play with the printer to get it to work. Even though the HP has a slot for envelopes, many times when I use the slot, the printer will display, "Out of Paper." Then, I put the envelope on top of the other psper underneath the envelope slot.

[users] problem: converting MS word docs to XHTML
I have some MS word docs that I open up with OO and make some changes. I then would like to convert them to xhtml format and choose the export option. The file is created and opens up just fine however I have 1 small problem. Most of the time my numbered lists all have the number 1. instead of the correct number. For example, here is the original MS word format: 1. This is line one 2. THis is line two 3. THis is line three However, after I convert this to xhtml I get the following: 1. This is line one 1. THis is line two 1. THis is line three Note that this does not occur for all of my numbered lists but just for about 95% of them. What is going on here and is there a way to fix this? Perhaps there is a problem in the original MS word document but I am not sure.

To save it as HTML, set the File type as HTML Document (OpenOffice.org Writer) (.html;.htm). It is the last entry in the File type drop down list.

Yes. If you're running Windows, you'll need to register the files as data sources with the odbc administration tool, then register the database in OOo. Once you've done that, you can read and write the access files. I followed a fairly long trail of links from the OOo site to one with specific instructions on how to do all this.

I have purchased a new computer which uses OpenOffice. I am totally unfamiliar with this software because I had Microsoft Works Suite for five years on my old computer.

Have I missed these capabilities somewhere. Also, when I do a word document and want to name it, I get a message that tells me something about changing the ext. All I want to do is give it a name that I recognize so I can locate it in My Documents. I'll have to admit that I have a difficult time when using new software.

[users] Error - Saving in OO 2.0
I figured out what my problems was in saving and reopening certain labels and documents. I had everything to default saving and loading as Microsoft Office files. I researched the OpenOffice.org web site to see what the original saves and load extensions were, because I saved and loaded for so long as Microsoft, I forgot what the default OpenOffice extensions were. Once I started using the proper extensions, I could reopen the files without them being so messed up. One question though: according to the OpenOffice Tutorial web site, 2.0 uses Open Document Text (.odt) file format and 1.x.x uses text documents (.sxw) file format. So I changed the Tools-Options-Load/Save-General to reflect that text documents should be saved as Open Document Text (.odt. Then I went to Tools-Options-Load/Save-Microsoft and unchecked all the (L) and (S) boxes. However, now whenever I save a document I get an error messsage: Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gregory%20L%20Forster/Application%20Data/Oper Office.org2/user/basic/dialog.xlc/: General Error General input/output error. I get to click an O.K. box. And once I click the O.K. box, I get another error. Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gregory%20L%20Forster/Application%20Data/Oper Office.org2/user/basic/dialog.xli/: General Error General input/output error.

[users] OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Here
All, OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Here 20 October, 2005 OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the productivity suite that individuals, governments, and corporations around the world have been expecting for the last two years. Easy to use and fluidly interoperable with every major office suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 realises the potential of open source. Besides a powerful new database module and advanced XML capabilities, OpenOffice.org natively supports the internationally standardised OpenDocument format, which several countries, as well as the U.S. state of Massachusetts, have established as the default for office documents. More than any other suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 gives users around the globe the tools to be engaged and productive members of their society. Available in 36 languages, with more on the way, and able to run natively on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X (X11) and several other platforms, OpenOffice.org banishes software segregation and isolation and dramatically levels the playing field. And, with its support for the OASIS standard OpenDocument format, OpenOffice.org eliminates the fear of vendor lock in or format obsolescence. The OpenDocument format can be used by any office application, ensuring that documents can be viewed, edited and printed for generations to come. OpenOffice.org 2.0 is a breath of hope for small economies that can now have a local language office suite well adapted to their needs and to their economical possibilities, reducing their dependency on the interests of proprietary software vendors. "OpenOffice.org is on a path toward being the most popular office suite the world has ever seen and is providing users with safety, choice, and an opportunity to participate in one of the broadest community efforts the Internet has ever seen. As a member of that community, I'd like to offer my heartiest congratulations." - Jonathan Schwartz - President and CEO of Sun Microsystems. Built by a community including Sun Microsystems, its primary sponsor and contributor, Novell, Red Hat, Debian, Propylon, Intel, as well as independent programmers, translators, writers, and marketers; OpenOffice.org 2.0 demonstrates the success, dedication and proficiency of the open source software community. That community now includes the City of Vienna, which recently started deploying OpenOffice.org throughout. "We are very happy about the functionality and quality of the OpenOffice.org software. We are confident that OpenOffice.org will be made available to all of our 18,000 workstation users." - Brigitte Lutz, City of Vienna. Louis Suárez-Potts, OpenOffice.org Community Manager, commented that "OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the culmination of a collaborative process involving thousands working in dozens of languages everywhere in the world. It shows that open source can produce software of the highest quality and assure the robustness, usability and security that users expect in their office suite." In addition to the OpenDocument format, the redesigned user interface and a new database module, OpenOffice.org 2.0 also adds improved PDF support, a superior spreadsheet module, enhanced desktop integration and several other features that take advantage of its advanced XML capabilities, such as the ability to easily create, edit and use XForms.

Re: [users] Table of contents; shortcut to repeat action
Hi Manuel, 1. When you generate a TOC using the default settings, the resulting TOC is not hyperlinked so clicking on an entry won't taking you to the corresponding heading in the content. To make TOC entries hyperlinked, follow these steps. When you set up the TOC, click on the Entries tab in the TOC setup window, click to the left of the first item in the Structure area (typically E#), and click the Hyperlink button. Then click at the far right of the last item (typically #) and click Hyperlink again. Click the All button to apply that setup to all TOC levels. This will hyperlink the whole line. If you want, make the Hyperlink insertions before and after the E item and that will hyperlink just the title. 2. To set up a shortcut key to repeat the last task, choose Tools > Configure, click the Keyboard tab, and use the online help if necessary to set up a keyboard shortcut for the Edit > Repeat function. However since the TOC insertion is a set up multiple steps this Repeat function doesn't apply (I'm not sure if you're trying the function with the TOC but thought I would mention it). You can, however, use the menu shortcuts to do the TOC more quickly; type Alt + I, X, I and then press Enter. I have tested Ctrl Y and it does work for things like typing a word or inserting an item.

[users] Still can't open or save
I have had no response to this for a few days now, so I am re-posting in the hope that somebody will help me? It doesn't seem to be a file/directory permissions problem. I am using OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 on my Sun Ultrasparc 1 running Solaris 9 OS. I installed the program in /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.4 as root. The program runs perfectly as root, and I am able to open existing .doc files,create new files, and save them. I can also print out documents. I then did workstation installs for myself and my wife, logged in as myself and my wife respectively, in /export/home/colin and /export/home/kim. After logging out and in again, Office appeared under applications on the Gnome desktops of each user. I can start OpenOffice writer by clicking on the item from both user desktops. When I tried to open an existing document, I received an error message: "Error loading document file:///export/home/colin/sharperes.doc. Error creating object. The file could not be created." I am the owner of the document, and permissions are -rwxr-xr-x. I then tried to write a new document, I tried to "Save as", entered a name for the file, and received an error message: "Error saving the document Untitled1: Write Error. The file could not be written" The attempt was made to write the file to /export/home/colin, which I own,.and has permissions drwxr-xr-x. What on earth is going wrong, or how have I messed up the installation? I hope I have given enough information to help someone solve this for me.

[users] Can't save sheet created with a template as that template
This is a repost (with a new subject line) because I didn't get it resolved the first time, perhaps because I was not clear in describing the problem and perhaps because I wasn't subscribed to this list. This behavior is new with RC2, and I haven't gone to RC3 because the release notes don't seem to apply to me. Until RC2 (including RC1 and .195 and many earlier versions) I could create a new spreadsheet with one of my standard templates, make changes to the sheet, and then save the resulting file as the same template that I originally started with. By "saving the template" I mean using the FILE > TEMPLATES > SAVE procedure. With RC2, when I attempt this procedure, after saying "yes" to overwriting the existing template, I get an "Error writing document Untitled1 as template: General Error. General input/output error." My experience with this error is identical on two different WinXPproSP2 machines and is perfectly reproducible. I would submit an issue, but I don't know how, and I am not sufficiently confident that the problem isn't unique to my particular circumstances. Can others reproduce this behavior? Ideas?

In my original post I used the keyboard shortcuts to distinguish between the two types of "Save." Unfortunately, this procedure no longer works for me with RC2.

In 1.1.4 as well as 2.0 RC2, I type an email address followed by a single space (using the spacebar). Then I types some more letters. Only the email address was underlined and in blue. One of two ways I could get a continuation of the underlining and blue font was to enter the email address and the text without a space between them. The other way was to enter the email address, delete it, and reenter it. Then the text following the email address was underlined and in blue. In fact, when I did this, the font color of the entire paragraph became blue. Dan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] RC3: Assigning macro bug
I've been working with the macros in 2.0 rc3. I successfully assigned a macro to one file (only) that upon opening the file went to its end and inserted the date. Then I assigned a macro to all documents which was to advance to a bookmark called RP, for Reading Point. But 1) the macro is faulty, and 2) I realized it would conflict with the first macro in the case of the one file - so I removed the assignation of the second macro. Problem is, even though the second macro doesn't show under the Assign dialog, it tries to fire. I've looked under both OOo and the particular file's name in the drop-down list, and the second macro is not assigned anywhere. I've closed all instances of OOo, including quick start, thinking something might be stuck. But I'm still experiencing the problem. This is not the first time I've had a macro shortcut stuck. In a previous case I had to delete the macro to get OOo to stop erroneously pointing to it rather than to its successor when clicking a toolbar icon. Somehow the macro engine isn't getting the updated commands. p. -- Using OOo 2.0 rc3 on Win XP sp2. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [users] Default file type
I just read last night in the FAQ web page, your problem. Here is your solution, copied from the FAQ: --- I've installed OpenOffice but it's taken over my files ? When you install OpenOffice, it asks you whether you want to associate MS Office files with OpenOffice. In order to not associate these MS Office file types, you must uncheck the appropriate boxes before continuing. Many people do not read this dialog properly, and simply click on OK". Once this association has been made, though, there are several ways to re-association the files with MSOffice. Go into your file types setting(it should be under either Tools or Folder Options) from one of the windows in My Computer. Then delete the association for .doc, .xls, and any other file types that you do not want associated with OpenOffice. When you next click on a file of that type (such as .doc or .xls), it will ask you what you want to use to open it. Click on word, excel, or whatever you want to use. You will also be given the option to select always use this application to open the file type. - If I understand right, that is what you're looking to do, right?

I sure do not. I have only one suggestion, that the problem may be known to the neoffice folk. Please try http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums If you get no satisfaction there, please come back but this time post an example on your website so we can look. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.

[users] Re: DocBook tags missing
No solution for this DocBook deficiency? Shame. This would have gone a long way toward boosting the profile for OOo and open source in general in this organization. :\ Thanks anyway. --doug - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [users] [moderated]
Thank you so much! One last question...how do I change the page margins? I tinkered around with it for almost an hour and still couldn't figure it out.

Yes you can open MSO templates (assume .dot) with OOo, but be aware that if the MSO template contains macros the macros will not work in OOo. The reason is that MSO macros are written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and OOo macros are written in SB (Star Basic). The VBA and SB syntax is similar, but they are not compatible. If you have downloaded version 1.9.x (beta 2.0) you could try: Menu -> File -> New -> Business Cards What I have done is create a label sheet as a template for my own business cards.
