[users] bulk conversion of documents using OOo 2.0.2
Hi All, I have a lot of OOo documents that I want to convert into PDF. They are all in a directory, and I would like OOo to cycle through all the .odt files in that directory and then create .pdf files (with the same root name). I used to be able to do this, using 1.9.x I think. There are a number of tutorials out there which show how to do this, and this is what I had followed previously. e.g., DannyB on oooforum had a macro that worked, and you can find a similar one in Andrew Pitonyak's macro document. There's also a really nice gui document created by Laurent GOdard (http://oooconv.free.fr/batchconv/batchconv_fr.html) which does exactly what I want. But... in every case, I get an error, even with the macros that used to work. Here is the typical code: Sub ConvertWordToPDF( cFile ) cURL = ConvertToURL( cFile ) ' Open the document. ' Just blindly assume that the document is of a type that OOo will ' correctly recognize and open -- without specifying an import filter. oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( cURL, _blank, 0, Array(_ MakePropertyValue( Hidden, True ),_ ) ) cFile = Left( cFile, Len( cFile ) - 4 ) + .pdf cURL = ConvertToURL( cFile ) ' Save the document using a filter. oDoc.storeToURL( cURL, Array(_ MakePropertyValue( FilterName, writer_pdf_Export ),_ ) oDoc.close( True ) End Sub Function MakePropertyValue( Optional cName As String, Optional uValue ) As com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue Dim oPropertyValue As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue If Not IsMissing( cName ) Then oPropertyValue.Name = cName EndIf If Not IsMissing( uValue ) Then oPropertyValue.Value = uValue EndIf MakePropertyValue() = oPropertyValue End Function This always seems to fail with storeToURL() failing, saying that the URL is of an unsupported form. But the URLs for the incoming and outgoing files seem OK: something like file:///C:/tmp/convOO/UW/file.odt is an example of the incoming file. The outgoing file would be the same except suffixed with .pdf instead of .odt There seems to be something I'm missing here. Can anybody help, or point out a resource for doing this? By the Way: All of these macros which I lifted seem to have had their genesis in OOo 1.1 . Does anybody know if perhaps something has changed in 2.0.2 that breaks things?

Thunderbird + Calendar both on linux and windows (much better than outlook e-mail client and quite poor calendar application).

Re: [users] OpenOfice Calc can't use basic M$ Excel formulas
Yes it can - you just need to understand the differences between OOo and Excel. First off, OOo uses ; to separate function components. Your formula should therefore be : =if(countif($A$2:A2;A2)1;dupe;) Same with the other formula. Have a look at documentation.openoffice.org for tutorials on calc.

Re: [users] Re: Bullets problems
Dizia Bruce Byfield em Segunda 03 Abril 2006 18:14: Why are list/numbering formatting and styles separated from paragraph formatting and styles? For one thing, it's more economical that way. You can use the same numbering system for different paragraph styles, rather than having to define the design separately for each paragraph style. For another, it's useful to have a display of only list styles when you are designing a template. For example, if you plan to use nested lists, you usually want to define each level in terms of the next level above it. I promised myself I would not engage into a discussion so soon, but I have to tell Bruce just this much: - The problem Laurent Duperval raised (have you read it?!) is paradigmatic of the way OOo works, and with which I disagree: «bullet/list formatting _interferes_ with paragraph formatting». - Interference is this: 1- I have a (stylewise or not) formatted paragraph; 2- I want it to become part of a list, for instance, a numbered one; 3- I want to use a list formatting just for taking care of the list itself (following paragraphs have following numbers, for instance) 4- I do not want the list formatting to change paragraph formatting (indentation, for instance) 5- I can not achieve this easily with OOo. - Your arguments do not answer this issue. But you could have a point _if_ there was a _parallel_ between paragraph/character formatting and paragraph/list formatting (in both cases, stylewise or not). Unfortunately, OOo does not enforce such parallelism! :-( Regards, José (still using OOo...) -- J. Magalhães Cruz --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ... free, as in freedom...

Take some paragraphs that need numbering. Now you can do two things: a) select te paragraphs and choose a numbering style from the stylist; b) select te paragraphs and apply a paragraph style, to which you applied a numbering style on the tab Numbering; That's pretty straight forward. If you do not like the numbering style, you can choose one of the others, change the current, or define your own. The only way to change the indentation of the parapraph via the numering style, is setting the distance on the tab position of the numbering style. The first level of the 10 default numbering/listing styles, all have no extra distance from left. Greetings, Cor -- Cor Nouws www.nouenoff.nl - www.bsooo.nl - http://nl.openoffice.org Open.

[users] OO 2.0.2 on linux (FC5) slow under KDE
Hi, I'm running Fedora Core 5 and run the KDE desktop. Previously I have run other FC releases and OO has run just fine under KDE. However, with the latest FC5 version of )) (2.0.2) I have observed that OO causes KDE to run slowly, and runs slowly itself. Observerations I have made are 1. OO runs fine under gnome 2. Under KDE, the icons are different and generally the application is a lot less responsive. 3. Under some circumstances, such as when using impress and have a text box highlighted (i.e. with a grey box outline around it). Somehow OO causes the KDE desktop itself to become VERY slow (many seconds for menus to appear, whereas without OO running there are no delays). I strongly suspect the KDE integration in this release is not working well. Has anyone else observed similar problems ? Is there any way I can disable the KDE integration for tests ?

When pasted, direct formatting (be it by Ctrl-B or character styles) the formatting is included. When text without direct formatting is pasted, it gets the formatting of where it is placed. Not, exactly. That's the problem. I will use * to indicate bold and _ to indicate italic. Type two lines in a clean paragraph: Now is the time for all* good *_men _to come to the aid of the party. *_The_ *quick* brown dog *_ jumps over _ the lazy dog. Use emphasis and strong emphasis styles instead of italics and bolding if you want. Note I have applied the effects to surrounding spaces, something that sometimes happens by accident, and sometimes ought to be done, as with a bold typeface embedded in non-bold text, or a fixed width font embedded in proportional text. Copy and paste the second sentence into the first one, so that either the beginning the pasted sentence touches any of the characters with italic or bold attributes. Watch the formatting all of non-italic, non-bold characters die. The example is forced. But this kind of situation is real, as anyone who has worked with complex technical manuals, foreign grammars, and various other technical writing knows. One does use quite a potpourri various visual styles within the text, and as in any document, when writing this kind of stuff, one does move things about with cutting and pasting. That all the formatting in a string that matches the paragraph default character formatting should be blown away if it is pasted so that it happens to follow a single character with any different formatting attributes from the normal paragraph character style is surprising and not pleasant, at least to me. I could live with your rule as well. But I think pasting text without direct formatting adapts to the place where pasted, is easier than that it doesn't adapt. That would influence every paste action. The rules may be logical. I'm almost certain they are. But the question is whether this particular logical behavior is desirable logical behavior or whether it should be replaced by different logical behavior that more users are likely to desire. Who asked for character attributes to be spread by contact, like a kind of plague? The easy answer out of this situation, when it is only the default paragraph character style that automatically changes, is to avoid use of the default paragraph character style. Styles should make complex text easier, not more difficult. Jallan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [users] Labels
This makes the third try at following the exact steps in your tutorial but no fields are populated in the label template when I press the Data-to-Fields button. Also, the F4 key does not bring up the data source view; rather, it places a bullet in the label at the cursor. So I'm not sure what that means. - Original Message - From: Peter Hillier-Brook [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@openoffice.org Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [users] Labels Richard Robbins wrote: It might.

[users] Re: [discuss] Math syntax
Have a look at the below for an excellent reference on math : http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors/MathObjects.pdf I think you could construct what your after out of existing functionality.

Re: [users] open office writer to microsoft word
He meant that you can't send an OOo .ODP file to an M$ Word user. You need to click on File | Save As, then choose Microsoft Word (98/ME/2000/XP). Or alternatively, export the file as a PDF file (File | Export as PDF). It doesnt mean that you open the PDF in Word. A PDF is just a convenient way of sending documents across the internet although the file can't be edited right away without using another application.

Last year when I use 1.1.4, I downloaded the and extract the Indonesian dictionary manualy from the website and edit dictionary.lst to add my own dictionary. The dictionary.lst is located on instalation directory like: C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.1.4\share\dict\ooo in windows please check dictionary.lst the content is something like this: # List of All Dictionaries to be Loaded by OpenOffice # --- # Each Entry in the list have the following space delimited fields # # Field 1: Entry Type DICT - spellchecking dictionary # HYPH - hyphenation dictionary # THES - thesaurus files # # Field 2: Language code from Locale en or de or pt ... # # Field 3: Country Code from Locale US or GB or PT # # Field 4: Root name of file(s) en_US or hyph_de or th_en_US # (do not add extensions to the name) HYPH da DK hyph_da_DK HYPH de DE hyph_de_DE DICT en GB en_GB HYPH en GB hyph_en_GB DICT en US en_US HYPH en US hyph_en_US THES en US th_en_US_v2 DICT it IT it_IT HYPH it IT hyph_it_IT HYPH ru RU hyph_ru_RU DICT th TH th_TH DICT sw TZ sw_TZ DICT sw KE sw_TZ THES cs CZ th_cs_CZ_v2 Please make sure that the file like the name I highlight above exist in the same directory.

I was trying to install the dictionaries for the office suite and it came to the point where it said The list of dictionaries has been successfully downloaded. Please click Next to continue. But when I clicked Next, I got this message: Openoffice.org Dictionary Installer List Index Out of Bounds (1) It had a big red X and an OK button. And from there I could not go any further.
