Re: [users] Re: calc - trimming extremes from a data set
I'm amazingly rusty on basic statistics, but wouldn't something like the following work? Take the mean and standard deviation for the whole set. Then calculate z scores for each value (essentially translate the values into their deviations from the mean. Then, all you have to do is look for all values whose z scores are too big or too small (both sides of the bell curve). I don't remember exactly how to do the math and I certainly don't know how to code it in calc, but with the if, lookup, and vlookup, etc. it's probably not that difficult.

Write: http://wwwdb.europarl.eu.int/ep6/owa/p_meps2.repartition?ilg=EN Depends on what statistics you're trying to glean. There is a function called trimmean() that lops off the bottom and top 5% of values before calculating a mean. Also, in general, sometimes the median (the middle value when the values are ranked) can be a more useful indicator of central tendency than a straight mean. Economists use that a lot to keep somebody like Bill Gates or John Rockefeller from screwing up the average when looking at incomes or wealth. Hmmm... reading your post again, I'm not exactly sure I understand what you are asking. Do you want to calculate statistics in such a way that the oddball values don't skew the results or are you looking for a way to find the oddball values themselves to pinpoint anomalies? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [users] pasting external text in a table cell
Gordon Burgess-Parker wrote: Don't know - is there a clipboard in linux? I selected text on a web page, clicked on "Copy", clicked in the cell in the table, no "paste" option available. If I paste in some other area of the document, I can then select THAT text and paste into the cell. So why won't it paste direct from the external source? Linux doesn't have a clipboard, but most, if not all desktop managers (kde, gnome, etc.) that run on Linux do. I use kde and it has an application called klipper which you can put in your task bar (looks like a little clipboard with a "K" on it). It keeps a record of the last few things you've copied or cut, so you can get back to older ones as well as the current one. This may not relate to your problem, but once in awhile, I copy something and it won't paste somewhere else. Sometimes, I can open klipper, select the thing I want to paste and then, when I go back to where I want to paste it, it works. Don't know why this happens, but it does help sometimes.

Could it have become corrupted somehow? Did you save as a .ods file? OOo documents are actually ZIP files, so you might see if WinZIP (say) can expand it. You may need to change the name to add a .zip extension. You should see a hierarchy of files and subfolders if it's still recognisable as a ZIP file.

This is a very wild guess, but check that you haven't got "Edit - Changes - Record" turned on. Because if "Edit - Changes - Show" is also turned off you may not be aware of it, and it can make Writer behave in ways that appear a little strange after prolonged use, slowing Writer down considerably, and the symptoms can be similar to what you describe, if I recall correctly. If you find it turned on then you should probably go to "Edit - Changes - Accept or Reject" and click the "Accept All" button, or accept or reject each change individually. > > - Original Message - > From: "CPHennessy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: ; "ANNECLAAR THOMASSON" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 11:04 AM > Subject: Re: [users] problem > > > > On Wed April 12 2006 16:04, + ANNECLAAR THOMASSON wrote: > >> Dear Open Office > >> > >> One of my writer files gets continually stuck.

If the file extension is either .ods or .sxc, and you can still read other files of that kind, then the file itself has somehow become corrupted. Note: the fact that you have placed a password on a file does not prevent anyone from opening a file in an application such as a text editor, changing the garbage they see either accidentally or purposely, and then resaving. If the file has accidently got the incorrect suffix attached to it, just renaming the file in Windows to have the correct suffix, whether .ods or .sxc, should fix it. If your are saving in another format, such as Excel format (extension .xls) you might try opening this in another application that can read this sort of file such as MS Excel for an .xls file). If the other application can open it, try resaving, possibly in different formats, and try opening those formats in Calc. If you have automatic backup turned on, then you may have an earlier uncorrupt version of the file you can use. (The backup facility can be turned on in Tools -> Options... -> OpenOffice.org -> Load/Save -> General.) If you have this backup facility turned on, then you should find a backup file in the path listed in Tools -> Options... -> OpenOffice.org -> Paths with the same stem name as your problem file but with the extension .bak.

Mike: You're able to move ranges of cells around (I'm assuming you're referring to "drag and drop", please correct me if this isn't what you mean). With ranges, it's actually easier than with Excel. With Excel, you needed to carefully click on the very edge of the range, then drag. With Calc, you can click anywhere within the range, even in the middle, then drag and drop. With one cell, it's a little different. What you need to do is: 1. Click on the cell you want to move. 2. Drag to select at least one other cell. 3.

When she gets the email, the hyperlinks in the Table of Contents are not active.

(You will probably want to download the Windows (bundled with JRE) version. (This choice is found in the Operating system choice.) Version 2.0.0 and above require a newer version of JRE than 1.1.3 does. Install the new version. It will install in a different folder from 1.1.3. During installation, it will look for any 1.1.x versions. Then it will ask you if you want to use the same settings. That should copy your settings into the 2.0.2 folder.

[users] The best way to answer questions on this list
Hi all, I'd like to remind everyone of a few simple points which may help new users get the most out of our answers: 1) For many new users they are not always the most comfortable at using the internet nor email 2) Many will not even know that users@openoffice.org is a mailing list, nor even how a mailing list works 3) So we need to be patient and polite in our responses 4) We should also CC: the posters of messages that contain a "Delivered-to: moderator" header since they are from users who are not subscribed and thus they would otherwise not see our responses. 5) For FAQs we should redirect the users to the appropriate web pages at http://user-faq.openoffice.org or http://documentation.openoffice.org 6) For development related email we should redirect the users email advising them to subscribe to the mailing list to dev@.openoffice.org 7) Ignore trolls i.e. those with the "na-na MSWord is better than OOo and always will be!" attribute or similar as they serve no useful purpose 8) Adhere to the usual Netiquette Note 1 : So how do I know if someone is not subscribed ? That is easy : there is a field in every email on this list called "Delivered-to". For subscribed users it will show your email address. For unsubscribed users, there will be two "Delievered-to" fields, the one as described above, and a second one with the value "moderator". Any email delivered to the moderator and then to the list, means that the email was from an unsubscribed user and therefore you should try to CC: that user. Many people use their email tool to filter the users@ emails so that those with the field "Delivered-to" with a value of "moderator" get flagged to indicate that they should be treated specially.

[users] Use of OpenOffice by ThinkAll Publishing
It has come to my attention that the folks at www.thinkall.com are using the SUN microsystem product OpenOffice in a commercial way to either generate revenues directly or, to promote the sales of other revenue generating products. I checked the SUN microsystem-generated list of authorized CD distributors for the OpenOffice product and, the company ThinkAll was not included in that list. I've attached a pdf copy of the thinkall.com web page showing the OpenOffice product being advertised for the benefit of thinkall.com customers. You will note that nowhere on the page is any mention made of either SUN microsystems or, the open-source project that is responsible for the coding of OpenOffice and, the subsequent free downloads of this code from the OpenOffice website! I just thought that this sort of thing should be well known to SUN microsystems. I hope that SUN microsystems is benefitting from ThinkAll's use of the OpenOffice product as both a promotional and, revenue-generating tool. Regards, Mike Momich 7 bucks a month. This is Huge Yahoo!

[users] printing from command line
Is there any openoffice tool that could be used from the command line to print a .doc file? or possibly just convert it to a pdf file? As people move away from MS platforms one of the things lacking is that they could click on a file and tell it to be printed. I'd like to be able to either run a conversion from the command line to get it the file into something usable and known to my printer like ps or pdf. It would be even nicer if I could just roll that into a filter that lprng or cups is able to use. That way the guy with the really old limited laptop could send the .doc file to the print queue and get something reasonable out. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[users] OpenOfficeCalc links to other files
I have been waiting for later versions of Open Office to see if this problem is corrected. In Open Office Calc spreadmsheets,when you are in a file, (say the 'target file') and link to another file (say: the source file), then change figures in the source file, the target file figures do not update. This is still happening in Version 2.02. Regards Celeste Marinovich - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know then. Is it possible that the image is embedded but has a URL link associated with it that Excel can't resolve? Maybe Calc doesn't try, or fails silently? ?? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
