[users] Auto correct/replace/special character has many 'Jan 25 1994' character icons?????
OOo ver 2.0 8964/Win98se Attempting to auto replace 1/3 with (U+2153 char) Special char menu has substituted this 'JAN 25 1994' icon/font for most chars after (U+007F char). Where is it coming from?? Are special characters related to the fonts in win98se? At one time I had a font set added that inserted first in the fonts list & caused a similar problem, but that was corrected before ver 2.0 Using 'insert/special character' works as a manual fix..

Doug, are you sure you're in Page view and not Web view? What you're describing sounds awfully like what I see in Web view.

Using the default DL template, the text printed on the envelope is set at least 1cm in from the physical edge of the envelope, so it should print OK. Where is this zero margin?

Openoffice.org (OOo) requires it for its wizards (File > Wizards) and for its database (Base). There may be a few other things that need it also, but basically OOo will run quite well without JRE unless you are going to use what I have mentioned. If you feel from what I have written that you will need JRE then download the Windows plus JRE. Otherwise, download only the window's version of OOo.

[users] RE. extras not loading
Hello, Thanks for the reply regarding the issue with the extras on the second CD and the fact that I need to move them to the HD manually. Can you provide me with specific information on which folders they need to be moved to, or direct me to a site that will provide the information. I am happy to move files from the 2nd CD to the HD, I just need to know what files need to be moved to which folders. I took a look at the XP Open Office folders, and it is not obvious to me where the extras need to be stuffed. Thanks for additional directions!!

Re: [users] Adapting envelope template
I think that the problem is that the template shows a fixed height of 16 cm while the envelope itself has a height of 11 cm, excluding the flap. The kit you mentioned was a help, but it tells me that my envelope needs to be rotated 180 degrees when it doesn't. The orientation is correct as it is. I created a template from scratch with a height of only 11 cm, and it was exactly the same. Because I am using a laser printer, the printer margin cannot be zero. The only solution I can find is to print the envelope with the flap open and with a piece of of paper inserted to make the envelope the size that OO wants it to be. A distinct problem is that the envelope template opens with the last address printed on it, not the address from the corresponding letter, as Word does. So far, I have been keeping Word just to print envelopes, but that is no longer an option. I am using windowed envelopes whenever possible, but that is a workaround, not a fix. The envelope I am first prompted to use is C6, which I don't like, but perhaps it is better supported. Doug. On Sun, 12 Mar 2006 01:22 pm, G.

[users] Can OO Calc import Lotus 123 files?
I am using OpenOffice 2.0.2 under Slackware Linux and came across this url from OO marketing department discussing importing Lotus 123 files into OO Calc among other things. The web page titled: OpenOffice.org: The Open Office Suite Guide to New Features from Marketing 2/2005 at this url: http://marketing.openoffice.org/2.0/featureguide.html discusses the ability of OpenOffice Calc to import Lotus 123 files along with a list of other imrpovements. However, this import does not work in OO 2.0.2. Is it going to be implemented? Has anyone heard of this? When I try to import a Lotus 123 or wks file, the first box comes in but nothing else.

I am constantly amazed that Sun and other reputable groups are associated with Open Office, which has so many drawbacks that it makes MS Word look good! If you don't like OpenOffice and don't like MS Word, is there any Word Processor you do like? If so, then of course you can use it. Yet perhaps you just need to become more familiar with OpenOffice to see its virtues. Almost all complex applications have a learning curve and most of us have been frustrated by new applications that won't do things exactly they way we want think they should be done. Help is basically helpless, and rarely tells the reader what to do. When it does, it is often wrong or at least ineffectual. OOo Help is sometimes over concise. But I have often used it to my profit. I will return to this point later. Here are two of the most basic questions, which I cannot find answers to. 1) How do I set the margins? The instructions in Help do not help, not only because they are quite vague, but what they do say to do does not work. (I go into Format, Page, and set the margins, but it has no effect on the document.) Format -> Page is effects only the current page (or currently selected pages), not the entire document, unless you have previously selected the entire document. "Page" means Page formatting, not entire "Document" formatting, unless you first select your entire document. OOo Writer is not so primitive as to force the same margins or page settings on an entire document. A more structured solution is to press F11 to bring up the StyleList, select the fourth icon on the Stylelist toolbar, select the "Default" page style, right-click, select "Modify" and change the margins there. Also, the current page style appears in the second display box in the status bar at the bottom of an OOo Writer window. Right-clicking on that box provides a list of available pages from which you can select a different Page Style which will be immediately apply to the current page or to the selected pages. Double-clicking on the Page Style box brings up the dialog box for modifying the current page style, including setting margins. You can create a new default template with the "Default" page style margin settings as you prefer and all future new documents will have the "Default" page style set to those same margin settings. Similarly you can change the margins and other features in the other page styles and include those changes in your default template. 2) How do I change the default font away from the awful, extremely outdated, Times New Roman? No matter what I do, that repulsive typeface keep reappearing as the default. I am ready to eliminate it from my list of fonts, if that is the only way to end its domination of the default. Go to Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> Basic Fonts (Western) to change default Writer fonts at the top level of the style hierarchy. Changes made here will cascade down. You can also change them in the Stylelist (accessed via F11). Selecting the first item provides a list of paragraph styles and selecting "Hierarchical" in the list box at the foot of the Stylelist shows clearly the current style hierarchy so that you can see which styles are likely to be affected by any change that you make to a style higher in the hierarchy. The top level paragraph styles are the same paragraph styles listed in Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Write -> Basic Fonts (Western). Both of these questions are so basic, yet have proven impossible for me to answer, that it shows how non-intuitive and difficult to use your product is. There are not hundreds of people posting these same problems. On the other hand, people, including myself, sometimes have odd difficulties with the most trivial matters. A difficulty many new users of OOo Writer have is that they skip over anything to do with styles in the help and documentation, as non-essential, as a complexity avoided by them up to know whenever they have encountered it. Unfortunately for this kind of thinking, OOo Writer is very style-based in the way it is set up. And generally, non-style based word processing, web-publishing, and hard-publishing is today mostly considered as clunky and out-of-date as you consider the Times New Roman font to be. You can, if you wish, provide constructive commentary on the Help files at the main OpenOffice.org site, entering bug comments on the help files, making clear what you found confusing. It is often difficult for someone who knows something well to understand what might confuse a newcomer and constructive criticism is usually appreciated.

I'm guessing that what you are looking for is to be able to change the default settings for any new documents you create. Existing documents already have all their attributes defined and were fixed when you saved them. The help (for 2.0.1) under defaults;templates seems to be sufficient except for two extra comments. When you create an empty document to act as the default template, I found that it is best first to File->Save As giving it an OpenDocument Text Template (.ott) extension to create the template where you save all your templates. And when it refers to "category list" in the File->Template->Organize dialog, they mean the left hand pane of that dialog; the panes are not labeled. You can then save the template to include all your favorite languages, fonts, page styles, paragraph styles etc. [Copied to OP as he does not seem to be subscribed to the mailing list.] -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.

[users] Presentation Templates
To Whom It May Concern, I just recently downloaded the free version of StarOffice, and I love it. I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to get additional templates for the presentation software? I want to use them for ideas I have for starting my own business, and creating presentaions for my business. Thank you all so much for your hard work in making this software available to everyone that wants it. It's nice to know there are some companies out there that are not just in it for the profit. Maybe some very large companies can afford expensive office suites, but for the small guys just starting out, it is an expense they cannot and should not have to endure. When my company starts making profit, I will surely remember OpenOffice.org. Sincerely, Robert Dean - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And keep hoping that the programmers of OO will deem it a worthy function to incorporate in a future release. I wouldn't hold my breath. The problem is that the basic model or paradigm of a document is radically different between WordPerfect and OpenOffice.org (and MSWord for that matter). And WordPerfect is the odd man out in this regard. The result is that "Reveal Codes" doesn't really make much sense in the context of OOo. It's like spark plugs for a diesel engine or feathers on a cat. So the best you can hope for is something like Ian's macro that *simulates* WordPerfect-style Reveal Codes. That's because there simply are no "codes" to reveal. I don't know how much further explanation you need or want, but my understanding is that WordPerfect uses a "stream" model where a document is just a long string of characters with formatting codes interspersed to effect the desired formatting. OOo uses an object model where each element of the document (paragraphs, characters, pages, frames) is a distinct entity with a complete set of attributes describing it's formatting. Hope this helps more than it confuses. :) -- Rod - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When using draw objects do not snap to the grid or guidelines properly. In fact even two exactly identical objects, snap differently and even the same object snaps differently if I move it and than move it back. Using OpenOffice 2.0.2 in WinXP SP1, but it's the same problem on Linux.(Slack 9.1, kernel 2.6.14.1) Anyone have this problem too? Or a solution? Thanks in advance.

What are Reveal Codes? Does View -> Nonprinting Characters provide what you want?

To set the default language for your installation, go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings / Languages and set the default for all your documents. If there is a dictionary for your selection, there will be a tick mark against it. It is important to remember that language is an attribute of the text of a document, and can be set differently in different parts of the same document. This allows foreign language quotes to be separately checked against the appropriate dictionary. To set the default for a document that is different from the default setting for all other documents, when you have opened the document (or started a new one) go to the Default style and change it there. F11 (or Format -> Styles and Formatting) brings up the style list. Right click on Default (or the root style for your document) go to Modify -> Font tab where you can set the language for this style and will be carried down to other styles derived from it unless otherwise changed. To change the language for a piece of text, highlight the text and go to Format -> Character -> Font tab (or right click -> Character -> Font) where you can set the language for just that portion of text. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.

If I use another viewer (Irfanview or xnview) and I copy/past the image all is ok. I do not know where is the problem. I read several other messages posted on this problem. Hi Patrice, Import a graphic does not make sense. You really want to do is to insert a graphic : "Insert" -> "Picture" -> "From File" Thanks for your answer. Oups,! yes I meant (and I did) "insert", sorry ! and the problem was there (with "insert"). In fact I did more experiments and I found that *it is the specific jpeg file* that I want to insert which causes problem: it is converted by convert (from ImageMagik package under WinXP) from and eps file and I believe that the conversion was not perfect. Using other jpeg files, **all is ok**. So excuse me for this question: the filter is there, and if the file is ok, all is going right! Thanks a lot one more time to all people working on OpenOffice!! best regards, Patrice - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry George, In my haste to repond I did not read your question correctly. What you are looking for cannot be done thru paths. Perhaps adding a macro to the default template for each type of document that opens the Save As dialog in the specific directory per document type will work for you. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
