[users] Justified text running off margins
When I open Hebrew .doc documents sent to me that have the text justified (very often), the right and left portions of lines are over the margin border and are therefore unreadable. I am not certain if this is the case with English documents or not. If I hightlight all and change to centered text, then I can read it without problem. I'm on Kubunut linux with a Hebrew UTF-8 local, and OOo is in English. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The strange thing was that, despite this less than encouraging response, Writer did indeed open, just as you said, without a document or template pre-loaded. What's up ?... In linux (and other unix like systems), when you start a program from the console, it usually inputs all the errors that it found to it. Quite an useful feature :). Now, it seens like openoffice is trying to access some file in your firefox cache, and that it is unable to access it. Most likely, it's trying to find a file opened from internet. It can't find it, because it's probably not in your cache anymore. So it ouputs an error message.

You can save documents in PDF format or you can e-mail them as PDF attachments without saving them first but about the only thing that can edit PDF files is Adobe's software. There are other things but, as far as I know, none of them is free. This question should probably added to the FAQ. AFAIK, there are two free ways of editing PDF files: 1) Koffice can import pdf files. It will do a nice work on simple files, but will mess any complex layout. Kword (Koffice writer), uses odt as his default format, so it should be easy to transport files to openoffice. 2) pdftoppm can convert pdf files into ppm images. Those images can be edited with any other software like Krita (my own favourite), Openoffice Draw, Photoshop, etc... There's even a program that automates this for Draw. http://pdf2oo.sourceforge.net/ None of those options work now on Windows (well pdftoppm does work in cygwin). The second one will work on a Mac, I'm not sure if KOffice is ported to Mac. Both will work nice in the rest of the unix-like systems where openoffice is avaliable.

The Australian English dictionary file contains approximately 4,000 hyphenated words.

For example, the term bric-a-brac is in the Australian English dictionary for OpenOffice.org, is in the Macquarie dictionary, and recognised correctly by Microsoft Word. It is not handled correctly in OpenOffice.org. I can confirm this in the UK English dictionary too. My dictionaries are Collins English Dictionary (CED), Chambers 20th Century Dictionary (CH20) and the Oxford Etymological Dictionary (OxEt). The OOo (2.0.4) spell checker fails on bric-a-brac (CED), bricabrac (Ch20) and bric-à-brac (Ch20, OxEt). It also fails on spick-and-span (Ch20). And higgledy-piggledy is accepted as are the two separate parts, when in fact, neither (to my knowledge) should be allowed alone. OpenOffice.org appears to check each word as being correct and ignores the hyphens. That's consistent with the above examples.

Hi Marek, I have a problem with RTF. OpenOffice doesn't show and print vector pictures (see attachment). The second problem is that the text is worse formatted then in MS Office.

I inherited a document from another author. It uses outline numbering (which I want), but some headings have numbering turned on and some are turned off. I want to turn them all on. I know how to turn numbering on for each heading, one at a time, but I can't find a way to turn on numbering globally. Is there a setting I'm not seeing somewhere? I use both Windows and Linux versions, so an answer for either would be great. Thanks! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [users] Tabs at rounded distances from margin?
I see what you mean with your question now. If you pick up a tab in Word and move it around, Word shows the distances left and right to the margin. I've tried it, but OpenOffice doesn't do that. If you think it's a feature that needs to be included in OpenOffice in the future you might file an issue for it. Depending on how many other users feel the need to vote in favour of this enhancement, it may get implemented. Arnold Huzen Alex Zachopoulos schreef: Thanks.

Re: [users] Compatibility with Word
Jim Smith wrote: I have used OpenOffice in the past when it claimed to be 100% compatible with MS Word. Unfortunately, I discovered that it was not. When graphics such as drawings made with Word, pictures, or imported clip art were used, the formatting and display of these would break down. If I fixed them, a tedious and time-consuming process, they would appear OK, until they were re-opened in Word, then they would be wrong again. This means they could not be exchanged with Word users. As a professional writer who submits most things in electronic format, this was unacceptable. Has new versions of OpenOffice addressed this incompatibility? Also, is there a utility to convert documents to and from Adobe .pdf format? Is there a way to test these things without first going to OpenOffice? Thanks, James Smith João Pessoa, Brazil Hello James, I feel your pain. FWIW, you will run into the same issues between different versions of Word so it isn't just a OpenOffice issue. I have seen my wife scream over this issue when trying to combine multiple documents created on different versions of Word into a single document. I have never seen OpenOffice announce 100% compatibility and if I try to save in a non-open standard, I am warned about this problem. Don't you get the warnings as well? One thing that one of my co-workers told me is that working with graphics in Word can be a real pain as the auto-formatting will move things on it's own. He now uses OpenOffice as he can control the graphics much better. This is after Word reformatted a report that he had been working on all weekend and wouldn't undo. If formatting is an issue, then make sure all people are using OpenOffice or the same version of Word for the best compatibility.

Re: [users] Typing right to left

[ MODERATED ] ***
Hi
Last Monday I sent an email concerning the problem of typing right to
left. Does anybody know an answer?
Here is my text once more:
How can I type from left to right, as it is needed for Hebrew or Arabic?
I found some explanation about using the CTL-Mode (Complex Text Layout).
If CTL is active, one can activate right-to-left by clicking on the icon
with the arrow pointing to the left.
But to my mind, what I get is not correct: The Cursor is positioned at the
right side, which is what I expected. But the characters typed in are
always placed at the right side of the cursor instead of the left side.
I mean: If you type in e.g. OpenOffice in RTL (right to left) mode,
eciffOnepO should appear.
Does anybody know if there is a way to activate real RLT-mode?
As you are not subscribed you may not have seen that:

The Help section in my Swedish OOo 2.0.4 version, informed me that I could
input letters from right to left for four languages - Hindi, Thai, Hebrew,
and Arabic - by using Ctrl + Right-shift. Unfortunately, I know none of
these languages, but thought that I might be able to recognise the first
graphs in the Hebrew alphabet. But when I depressed the keys mentioned
above, I found that SCIM, which I use to write Chinese and Japanese, by
default selected a non-CJK language which is written from right to left.
When I changed the default selection to Hebrew (M17N-he-kbd) and typed
a-b-c on my Swedish version of a QWERTY keyboard, with the following
results :
שנע
which I must admit was not quite what I had expected. The cursor started at
the extreme left of the page, but the letters were imported from right to
left, i e, first ש, then נ, and finally, ע. It would seem to me that this
method of inserting graphs ought to work for those writing in these
languages
Moreover, I also found that the ability to write these languages from right
to left was not dependent on using OOo ; once having selected the language
in SCIM, I could do so as easily in this gmail message, which I found very
handy, as it eliminated the need to cut and paste.
The above procedure may not, however, work for those using a Windows
machine ('m using Ubuntu) ; in any event I have no experience using SCIM on
such a machine, having always employed Microsoft's own IME system. But as
James Su, the SCIM developer, who is located at Qinghua University in
Beijing, has proclaimed support for as many operative systems as possible
as one of the goals for SCIM, it is not impossible that that supprt for
Windows does exist ; I have not, however, been able to find a download for
that system
Henri
PS : For any developers out there, it would also be useful to be able to
type CJK languages from right to left as well, in the event that a simple
keyboard code could enable such a feature

RE: [users] odt
You have come up with one of the common problems in OpenOffice. Open Office can read Word documents but Word cannot read the Open Office format. How do I send an OpenOffice document to a user with Word? Note (1) that the .ODF (open) format that is normally used by OpenOffice cannot be read by MS Word. However the .doc files produced by MS Word or WordPad can be read by OpenOffice. Note (2) that some complex formatting may not be recognised by OpenOffice. These formatting discrepancies can be caused by the fact that Microsoft has undocumented features or because the specific feature is copyrighted by Microsoft so OpenOffice cannot use it. Procedure 1. Decide on the file type you wish to send. If the recipient needs to edit the document then send a Word or Excel document. If the recipient only needs to read the document then send a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) document. 2. Decide if you need to e-mail the document. If you need to e-mail it then use FileSend E-mail as Microsoft word or Filesend E-mail as PDF. If you need to pass the document to the user on a disc, or USB drive or over a network then use FileSave As and choose the appropriate file format and disc. I hope this is clear and will help you send your file.

That is more than likely due to the people receiving your file not having OpenOffice. You need to 'save as' then select a format that they have. This will likely be Office... so you should use MS formats. For writer documents look for a file format that ends in .doc.

Andy Pepperdine andy at pepperdine.eclipse.co.uk writes: On Tuesday 09 January 2007 02:13, Kelvin Eldridge wrote: Hi, snip Recently as a result of this work I retested how OpenOffice.org handles hyphenated words and found it doesn't work as I expected. For example, the term bric-a-brac is in the Australian English dictionary for OpenOffice.org, is in the Macquarie dictionary, and recognised correctly by Microsoft Word. It is not handled correctly in OpenOffice.org. I can confirm this in the UK English dictionary too. My dictionaries are Collins English Dictionary (CED), Chambers 20th Century Dictionary (CH20) and the Oxford Etymological Dictionary (OxEt). The OOo (2.0.4) spell checker fails on bric-a-brac (CED), bricabrac (Ch20) and bric-à-brac (Ch20, OxEt). It also fails on spick-and-span (Ch20). And higgledy-piggledy is accepted as are the two separate parts, when in fact, neither (to my knowledge) should be allowed alone. OpenOffice.org appears to check each word as being correct and ignores the hyphens. That's consistent with the above examples. I would like to raise an enhancement request for hyphenated words to be handled correctly for Australian English. Or any language; please don't be so parochial Not meaning to appear parochial;-) My aim was to be very specific so the developers can reproduce the issue easily. I can't be sure the examples I use are in other language files, or whether other English speaking regions use hyphens to a greater or lesser extent:-( I also noticed issues have been raised for non English languages in Issuezilla, but these do not solve the issue for Australians (or other English speaking countries). Could a second person using Australian English please confirm this is an issue. I have checked Issuezilla and not found an appropriate issue. If someone knows if an issue has been raised please let me know. If you raise one, please let us know. I'll comment on it, but I can see that it may not be so easy to fix, and there are more important things for the developers to do. It's quite difficult to find examples from one's own head, so it may not be very serious. You picked a very good example with higgledy-piggledy. This is valid because each word is entered in the dictionary as well as the hyphenated version. If higgledy and piggledy are not valid words (they are not listed in the Macquarie dictionary either) then invalid words have been added to the dictionary to get around the limitation in OpenOffice.org. I've raised the following issue after further reviewing Issuezilla. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73316 Issue 64400 appears close, but appears to use what I think may be the wrong approach and thus won't work for Australian English.

So far I am pleased with what I see, having successfully connected to almost every ODBC db on my system, but before I get too deep into this, I need to know if there are differences between the portable version and the normal version that installs to a hard drive. If there is a difference, I will install it on my hard drive, but if there is not, I would prefer to use the on on my jump drive for convenience.
