[users] Unexpected behaviour with print ranges in Calc
I've observed something that seems odd or at least unexpected in Calc. I create a spreadsheet, with content on two of the sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). First, I don's set any print ranges. When I print, or do a print preview, from either sheet, a default range is established by Calc that includes all of my content. Good, this is what I would hope for. Second, I go into Sheet1 and manually set a print range. Sheet1 prints with that range. Also good, this is what should happen. Third, I go to Sheet2, and don't set any manual range. Now nothing prints from Sheet2. Not good! Why does setting a print range in Sheet1 seem to wipe out the default print range in Sheet2? Can anyone else verify this behaviour? Is this an intentional feature, and if so, what would be the rationale for it? Dick Detwiler, Webster, NY

Re: [users] help with the keyboard
Ok Thanks for the reply: I've solved this problem at least on my computer. I've searched on the internet for a few couple of hours and I discovered that I wasn't alone with this problem. It figures that the POSIX locale was incorrect. When typed #locale I didn't get LANG=pt_BR.ISO8859-1. Instead I got LANG= (wich is the default instalation for FreeBSD 5.4). In order to get it right to all users on my computer I had to do the following changes: On /etc/login.conf: default:\ :...:\ :charset=ISO8859-1:\ :lang=pt_BR.ISO8859-1: And in order to get it right to the root user: on /root/.cshrc I appended those commands: setenv LANG pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_CTYPE pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_COLLATE pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_MONETARY pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_NUMERIC pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_MESSAGES pt_BR.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_ALL pt_BR.ISO8859-1 The effect was instantaneous. It seems OpenOffice seeks POSIX locale configurations rather than X11 keyboard locales (they can be different). POSIX from what I understood is the black screen comand line configuration and X11 the nice windows thing. Yes, The instalation was for a pt-BR computer with all the possible setings on Language settings in Options according. Thanks for the reply! Joao Francisco --- G.

And I dont know which Archive file I should check against, I found the product number but have'nt figured the rest out ? Is there a easy to do way? ThanksLinda J I assume, that you're using Windows. This is, what I found for you: This is how you verify MD5 Checksums under Windows: The Easy Way (digestIT with GUI) digestIT is a graphical tool that should be easier to use for most Windows users. 1. Download digestIT. (http://digestit.kennethballard.com/download.html) 2. Navigate in Windows Explorer to the directory where you saved/downloaded the OpenOffice.org archive. 3. Right click the OpenOffice.org archive file in and select digestIT - Verify MD5 Hash (or Calculate MD5 Hash). 4. If you select Verify MD5 Hash then you will be able to copy and paste the MD5 from MD5Sum page (linked to on the latest download page). If the checksums match, you will see: Digest matches. Verification succeeded. If you select Calculate MD5 Hash then you will need to visually compare the calculated MD5 with the one listed on the MD5Sum page (linked to on the latest download page). The Less Easy Way (md5sum on the command line) 1. Download md5sum.exe (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=34020#li nks) and copy the file to C:\Windows (or C:\WINNT for Windows NT 4.0/2000). 2. Open a DOS prompt by clicking Run in the start menu, then type command (Windows 9x/ME) or cmd (WinNT/2K/XP). 3. In the DOS prompt window, use the cd command to navigate to the subdirectory where you stored the downloaded OpenOffice.org archive file. For example, assume that your downloaded OpenOffice.org archive file is in C:\My Documents\Downloads\, then the command would be: cd My Documents\Downloads. 4. If it is on another drive, e.g. on the D: drive, you have to change the drive with d: and then change to the proper subdirectory using the cd command. 5. Now type md5sum archive_name.exe With most users this will look like: md5sum [filename] 6. The md5sum program will calculate the checksum of the archive file, and it will show this on the next line, followed by * Archive_name.exe It should look something like this: 7. Compare the calculated MD5 Checksum with the one listed for the corresponding OpenOffice.org archive on the MD5Sum page (linked to on the latest download page). 8. For easier comparison, you could make the DOS prompt window smaller and place it above the window showing the listed checksums. Now, there are two possibilities: 1. Both checksums are the same. This means you have downloaded the OpenOffice.org package. 2. The checksums do not match. This means an error occurred during download, or the file on the server is not the same as the original. If you are sure that the download proceeded without problems, then please inform [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want to verify, what I've copied to this mail, you can check it here: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=34020 Hope, this helps you.

(Getting started with Base) The latest version of the Getting Started with Base chapter is at http://www.delewis.com/OOo/GettingStartedWithBase.odt. It will shortly be added to the Getting Started Guide and uploaded to the Documentation page for OOo.

Re: [users] Adapting envelope template
I am ready to give up, but will try again from the beginning. I open a document and click on Insert- Envelope. My printer settings are for the envelope to be fed narrow end first, in the centre of the paper guide, as my LaserJet printer requires. The dialog as it stands shows an envelope 22 cm wide by 11 cm high in the bold type on the gray background. I choose New Doc. That gives me a screen showing the outline of the envelope with a blank strip 5 cm high added at the top, and separated by a line similar to the lines drawing the outline. For those 5 cm the ruler in the L.H. margin is gray. The two together suggest that the 5 cm is a top margin. The cursor is in the top L.H. corner of the active area. As you say, the From: area is about 1 cm down from the cursor. My problem is that the envelope then prints in landscape mode narrow side first, but with a margin from the top of the envelope of the amount of the margin mentioned above. The page looks - and prints - as if it were a sheet of paper 22 cm by 16 cm, with a top margin of 5 cm, but no bottom or side margins. In practice, the sender address is a further 5 cm down from the top, and the address is somewhere near the bottom. This looks unprofessional, and it doesn't comply with our Post Office requirements. If however, before choosing New Doc, I change my printer settings to portrait mode against the left-hand paper guide, as my Epson Multifunction BubbleJet requires, the screen looks different. The envelope displayed is now the correct shape, with no top margin. It does not have the blue border - that may have been in Web view. And it prints properly, using the Epson. It seems to me that there must be some bug in the program that interferes with the setup I want to use. If the truth is that the first setup won't work, I can resort to the BubbleJet, but it is less convenient, because the paper input is not as accessible, and I have to change paper stocks. The LaserJet has a second input slot especially for envelopes. Neither of its paper guides will open wide enough to accept a DL envelope in portrait mode. The LaserJet is an old model (HP 5L,) but I can't see how this is coming from the printer or its driver, rather than from the program. It happens in both Windows and Linux, which seems to rule out the Mandriva package. I hope that this description is clear. If not, I can supply screenshots. Doug.

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. Otherwise I can't work out where you're getting this 16cm height from. 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. 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? Unfortunately I can't verify that what I see is what is printed, I can only check what I think OOo will print by printing to a PDF file on my system and viewing the result in Adobe reader. 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.

The problem is, that the text boxes don't move up with the margin, i.e. the space occupied by the margin moves to a spot between the top edge and the return address box. If by way of contrast I create an envelope to be printed the way it looks (what would be landscape view) the New Doc button gives me a graphic with no margins.

OO.o 1.93.129 on Ubuntu-64 Breezy (no, it can't be upgraded because no .deb files exist yet) This has been driving me crazy for a long time and it's time to bitch about it. 1) When I go to print a document to any of my big Laserjets, half the features of the printer are not listed in the print dialog box, even obvious things like paper tray selection. If I print from Scribus they ARE listed, and they are all listed in CUPS too, so the problem is somewhere in OO.o. 2) Of the few features that do appear in the print dialog box (e.g., duplex v. simplex, PostScript level, color v. grayscale, color depth), none are sticky. Every time I go to print a document the dialog box comes up simplex, 24-bit color from driver, etc., so I have to go through and reset them to 8-bit grayscale, duplex, PostScript level 2, and so on.

[users] MS Access
My thanks to Jean Weber for pointing me to the information (in the documentation I might have found, had I looked) I needed to connect to an MS Access database (mdb) from OOo2 and for ensuring I got it by directly e-mailing me. Also to CPHennessy for following up to be sure I got it. I've successfully copied data out of the mdb file, using OOo2's View|Data Sources, into calc. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to connect and select/import data similar to the fashion that Excel does with it's Import External Data. This function (for those not familiar) links to the mdb file and imports data (allowing for sql syntax data selection) and allows for automatic updating of the linked data. I'm guessing OOo2 doesn't (yet?) provide for this type of access (confirmation requested) but hopefully will when development reaches that point (again, confirmation requested).

[users] Having Problems Writing a Book

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I keep ending up with either the first page unnumbered and all the rest numbered, or all the pages numbered.

In my case, I use A4 sheets in a HP laserjet printer with Suse 10.0 either on a desktop machine with the printer attached to its parallel port, or from a laptop across a network through CUPS on the desktop. Same printer connected the same way in both cases. If I print an old document, everything works fine from either machine. If I print a new text document from the laptop it is also OK. But when I print a _new_document_ from the desktop it reverts to US letter, and then only after several seconds of cpu bound thinking by both cupsd and soffice.bin. After that the two seem to loop together for ever. Only by closing OOo completely does it come out of it. (I used top to see what was using cpu.) None of the log files seem to show any problems. At first I thought it must be cups or something, but no other application shows anything like these symptoms; so I'm moving towards thinking it is the way OOo interrogates cups to get printer information.

Re: [users] Unexpected behaviour with print ranges in Calc
Print ranges have "DEFINE", "EDIT" and "ADD" commands. For the second page, when you define its print range use "ADD" then you have what you are asking for.

[users] Writing Hebrew in OO
Hi, I am using the Novel edition of OpenOffice that came with Suse Linux 10. I was trying to type up a hybrid text document in Writer. Part of the document would be in Hebrew, part in English. However, after installing Hebrew as a secondary language, enabling CTL, I was still not able to type anything in Hebrew. There were no fonts on Hebrew... So, I imported my Windows TT fonts and now I am able to write in Hebrew. However, even though I am able to switch the direction of the text, the text itself is still left-to-right, it's just that the text line now grows from right to left. So, now, the Hebrew that I write is showing up basically backwards. How do I solve this problem? And are there supposed to be any Hebrew fonts included with OpenOffice?

[users] Installing a printer with 2.0.2 on Intel Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger
Hi again, I should be more patient but after seeing many other issues resolved today, I'll try again. I'm using an iMac (Intel-based) running Tiger (OS X 10.4.5). I've installed OpenOffice 2.0.2. I've installed fonts with ./spadmin thanks to Eric Hoch's support. He also got me to the point of finding the Printer Drivers for the installed devices on this iMac (In /etc/cups/ppd you will find the ppds for the current installed *and* known printers to the printer manager of OS X). I'm stuck at the point of getting the ./spadmin program to accept the driver. Here's what I do: 1. Start ./spadmin 2. Click on New Printer 3.

Re: [users] OO can't find JRE
Don, Why are you trying to load a JRE on the MacBook? OS X already comes with a JRE as part of the install. You should not need to install a JRE to run OOo. I got an Intel coreduo miniMac last week and simply downloaded and did the drag and drop installation of the latest OOo for Mac from the porting page. Runs like a champ. The only problems that I have encountered are a permissions problem with working with networked file servers and adding a networked printer. The permissions problem has a work around. The network printer problem also happens on my Dual G5 box with OOo. I have an Apple Personal Laserwriter NTR and it sits on the ethernet network via an ethernet to Appletalk/Localtalk bridge. For some reason, OOo won't let me add it and I can only print to the generic printer, but it works.

Re: [users] Unexpected behaviour with print ranges in Calc
On Mon, 2006-03-13 at 09:21 -0800, Joe Conner wrote: Print ranges have DEFINE, EDIT and ADD commands. For the second page, when you define its print range use ADD then you have what you are asking for. What you've described is more intuitive, but I've found in practise that DEFINE applies only to the current sheet, i.e. does not cancel the ranges set for other sheets, and ADD extends the range/s of the current sheet. This is probably a good thing to avoid accidents. I.e. The sheets are independent, just not quite as independent as RLShadow would like. ADD will work, but is just like a DEFINE for the first range in a sheet. A couple of things that RLShadow can do to perhaps make it easier:- - change all other sheets in one hit to print the entire sheet. Select those sheets by Ctrl+clicking on each sheet tab to add to the selection, or Shift+Click to select a range, and then Format - Print Ranges - Edit to set the range to - entire sheet - in the list box at the left. This affects all selected sheets at the same time. Then Ctrl+click to deselect sheets (I tried clicking on one sheet to deselect all others but this doesn't work - i.e. is not quite the same as multi-select in other contexts for some reason). - set up a template sheet within the spreadsheet and use Format - Print Ranges - Edit to set the range to - entire sheet - in the list box at the left. Then copy that sheet when adding new sheets. Ross Johnson wrote: On Mon, 2006-03-13 at 06:08 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've observed something that seems odd or at least unexpected in Calc. I create a spreadsheet, with content on two of the sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). First, I don's set any print ranges. When I print, or do a print preview, from either sheet, a default range is established by Calc that includes all of my content. Good, this is what I would hope for. Second, I go into Sheet1 and manually set a print range. Sheet1 prints with that range. Also good, this is what should happen. Third, I go to Sheet2, and don't set any manual range. Now nothing prints from Sheet2. Not good! Why does setting a print range in Sheet1 seem to wipe out the default print range in Sheet2? Can anyone else verify this behaviour? Is this an intentional feature, and if so, what would be the rationale for it? I haven't explicitly verified it, but I'm not unhappy about that behaviour. It does seem natural to me that if I define a print range, that that would be just what I want printed. I recently defined print ranges in a 12 sheet spreadsheet and didn't think twice about it, didn't even think that it feels odd to do that. In fact, I kind of expected to have to do it that way.

Re: [users] I am using Windows XP professional - My Question( i have a fully blown Microsoft Offie ( the Works) Will OpenOffice co-exist with no interplay nor with interacting problems
OpenOffice.org will not effect your install of MS Office. The only thing you might want to be aware of is - when you install OpenOffice.org - it will ask you if you want to associate MS Office file formats with OOo. Just don't check those boxes then you'll be fine. Even if you do check those boxes, all that will do is make your MS Office files default to open in OOo, (which can easily be changed back).

[users] Re: Unexpected behaviour with print ranges in Calc
There are certainly work-arounds, and in the scheme of things, my complaint pales compared to people who can't get OOo loaded at all, can't get envelopes to print no matter what they try, etc. But still -- It doesn't seem like a great situation. I really like the default print ranges, in most cases they work well, and they have an advantage in that if I add a few rows, the range automatically expands to include the new rows. When I define a range, it often happens, due to my mental lack of astuteness I'm sure :), that I'll add a few rows and then forget to change the print range, and I don't realize it until I've wasted some paper and ink. I also like having the ability to define a range when I wish to, for those sheets where I don't want the range chosen by default (ie, for those sheets, I don't want everything printed, I want to dictate what range gets printed). So the situation is that I can't do both in the same spreadsheet. If I have a 20-sheet worksheet, and the default range is what I want for 19 of the sheets, and I want to define a range for the 20th sheet, I will lose the default range for the other 19, and need to define a range for each one. Just doesn't seem right to me, but that must just be how I approach things. Thanks for the responses anyway. In a message dated 3/13/2006 2:49:55 P.M.

I create a spreadsheet, with content on two of the sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). First, I don's set any print ranges. When I print, or do a print preview, from either sheet, a default range is established by Calc that includes all of my content. Good, this is what I would hope for. Second, I go into Sheet1 and manually set a print range. Sheet1 prints with that range. Also good, this is what should happen. Third, I go to Sheet2, and don't set any manual range. Now nothing prints from Sheet2. Not good! Why does setting a print range in Sheet1 seem to wipe out the default print range in Sheet2? Can anyone else verify this behaviour? Is this an intentional feature, and if so, what would be the rationale for it? I haven't explicitly verified it, but I'm not unhappy about that behaviour. It does seem natural to me that if I define a print range, that that would be just what I want printed. I recently defined print ranges in a 12 sheet spreadsheet and didn't think twice about it, didn't even think that it feels odd to do that. In fact, I kind of expected to have to do it that way. Maybe if it was the other way around I'd get used to it just as easily. Dick Detwiler, Webster, NY

I have there several slides, and some of them have a page full with contents and some pages have very little content, and with those small pages, I would like to shrink the ruler so that when I export the slide as JPG or PDF it appears only with the small content, and not with a big white space that is not occupied. I may be misunderstanding, but from your description I think the solution is to select the small content and then export. In Draw, the File - Export dialog then has an option (checked by default) to export the selection. When there is no selection, it exports the full page. Yes, it is more or less what I am trying to do. But I want to do it just in one step, this means to export all Slides in once, for example to PDF. So with this, the slides with little content would be automatically shrinked. I had a feeling I misunderstood. This doesn't sound like something that would be at all common in Impress - the idea being that all slides are the same size. On the premise that a dumb reply is better than no reply at all: Would it make sense, just for the export, to cut all the smaller slides to another presentation? - assuming the problem is that the rulers are affecting all slides at once.

This file has been exported from Crystal Reports onto an Excel File. We did not have any of these issues when running under OOo 2.0. However, when I open the file in Excel and then save the file from Excel, OOo is then able to open the file with no issues. Has anything changed from OOo 2.0 to OOo 2.0.2?
