The only free Word viewer from Microsoft is Word Viewer 97, which is
not faithful in it's reproduction of .doc from Office 2003. Microsoft
does not make backwards-compatable changes to Office, to force users
to upgrade. Or have you a newer version? If so, from where did you get
it?

Thanks.

This is not completely correct.

Linux versions of openoffice doesn't have a quickstarter (official or not). So 
some indepedent developers have created it.

Linux quickstarters for openoffice are separate programs, that will work with 
both vanilla openoffice and distribution modified ones.

They are sometimes installed by default with the distro, and other times need 
to be installed separated. Most distros will "ship" (in the default distro or 
in repos) at least two quickstartes, one for kde and one for gnome.

If you install one or more English dictionaries (there are at least two: UK 
and US which are very different) and tell OpenOffice to use one of them as 
the default language then it will spell check in that language. The same is 
true of French or Italian or ... It has nothing to do with the language of 
the OS. You can create a "template" for each language and select the 
appropriate one for each new document.

You can also write multi-lingual documents by setting up "styles" for each 
language. OpenOffice will spellcheck each paragraph in its own language. of 
course, you need the relevant dictionaries installed

A few differences between US and UK English:
UK US
Aluminium   Aluminum
ColourColor
Defence  Defense
Licence   License   (when used as a noun.UK uses 
"license" when it's a verb)

Javier, your information is a bit old. The gtk quickstarter module (similar
to windows one) was included in 2.1 and it works in gtk interfaces. (Gnome,
Xfce...). You can look in EIS after cws-s named gtkquickstart*

2007/1/10, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hello,
I have what I hope is an easy question to my problem.

In Open Office 2.0 Calc I would like to place numbers in a cell.
Example: =999+333
When I hit the enter button the total is calculated and I go down one row.
The problem: I would like to hit the enter key and go to the right.but
when I change it's direction in the customize window I get: no
calculation and the cell to the right is highlighted in red with the
letter of the column along with the row number.
If I use the right arrow key I get the same as above.
So, I would like to be able to enter numbers in one cell, hit enter or
right arrow key and have the calculation take place and to have moved to
the right.
I go hope you can help.
Thank you,

Works for me on 2.1, but maybe you use the numeric pad with the ENTER key
there?

Dear Frank,

You have two options:
1.  After you create or edit a document in OOo you can save it in MS Office
format and you can distribute it to anyone who uses MS Office.  Then they'll
be able to open, read, and edit it.

2. to uninstall OOo, and if your operating system is any Windows, go to

german version below!

Hi,

found your message in the OO-forum just in time. There are two 
remarkable items.


  1. You sent your mail in the english forum in german, there are some
 people who don't like that. They will get angy ;-) Please post in
 english next time or use the german language forum.
  2. Your problem: Using copy and paste the adresses in your function
 are also copied, but changed during insert.
 Example:  you take a function from a1, e. g.
 =sum(a2:a5;a7)
 and insert it in b1. This will be like
 =sum(b2:b5;b7).
 But if there is text in b7 OO wil get angry and write #Wert!. I
 think #Name! ist a remark on a bad written function. Perhaps there
 is a writing error in your function?


greetings

Max

Hallo,

habe eben Deine Mail in der OO-Liste gesehen. Dazu gibt es zwei Dinge.

  1. Du hast in die engl. Liste auf dt. gepostet, darauf reagieren
 einige Mitglieder recht sensibel, wird wohl noch Mecker geben. Nix
 draus machen, einfach auf englisch weiterarbeiten.
  2. Das eigentliche Problem: Beim Kopieren werden die Adressen der
 Formel mitkopiert, dann beim Einfügen aber entsprechend angepasst.
 Beispiel: Du nimmst eine Formel aus A1, z. B.
  =summe(a2:a5;a7)
 und fügst die in b1 ein. Die Formel wird dann lauten
  =summe(b2:b5;b7).
 Sollte in b7 jedoch Text stehen wird er da nörgeln (vermutlich
 #Wert!). Das #Name! ist wohl ein Hinweis auf eine fehlerhafte
 Funktion, die Du da irgendwo ausführst. Mal schauen, ob Du ggf.
 einen Tippfehler drin hast!


Grüße

Max

Hello.  I just recently downloaded the openoffice software and was curious
if there was a version available that would allow me to create documents
in
French as well as English which I could receive in the United States.  The

version I downloaded only seemed to contain German and a few other
languages.  Please let me know if there is something I could use.  Thank
you
for your assistance.

Dear Rachel


To quote another volunteer, Andy Pepperdine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
on this list:

Here's a brief guide:
Languages in OpenOffice

To obtain the relevant dictionaries, go to
 File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries
and download the ones 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.

If you set up your styles for a language in an empty document and then
save it as a template (File -> Templates -> Save), then you can select the
appropriate one to start a new document with File -> New -> Templates and
Documents

I have both wd97vwr32.exe and wdviewer.exe.  I have wd97vwr32 for older
systems that won't run wdviewer.  Both came from the MS web site.  IIRC,
wd97vwr will run in wine on Linux, but wdviewer won't.

OpenOffice.org version other on MacOSX.

Hey,

I'm working in an excel document (database), and all I've done is 
highlight one row, like I've done several times before...
But now it won't let me save the document. And it freezes up, and I have 
to manually quit X11 each time I try this. So I've tried closing it out, 
bringing it back up, making one change (highlighting one row) and it 
won't ever save it.. only says "general input/output error."

Can you please help me? What should I do differently?

[users] installation on a network using Citrix servers with load balancing between 2 Citrix machines

[Jouant Michel]

Hello,

I use openoffice on my notebook without problem. Not always but
sometimes mainly to test possibilities.

In our company we want to use openoffice for all users but 75% of users
are linked through a network, managed by 2 Citrix servers configured in
load balancing. The objective is to save money.

My question is:

Is it possible to install openoffice taking account this configuration?

In fact openoffice must be shared between the different users.

Our technical support says that Citrix recognize only MSoffice

Is it true or not true?

If it is not true, the implementation requires special parameters.
or.??

Can you let me know some information about this point?

I have Open Office 2.0 installed, but am frustrated by the following:

2. The system has the annoying habit of introducing inset sub-paras, even when 
I have clicked Numbers Off. Is there a way to eliminate this system in a

[users] Importing pictures in .eps format - as PostScript or bitmap?

[Stewart, Hugh]

A .eps file typically contains a set of PostScript commands

I think that when I imported a .eps file it displayed the
preview image rather than the PostScript itself (fair enough).
However when I exported as .pdf I think it exported the preview
image bitmap, not the (higher resolution) PostScript commands.

Robert,


Which version of OOo are you using? In version if you click on Format >
Bullets and numbering you get 6 tabs:
- Bullets (8 predefined options)
- numbering type (8 predefined options)
- Outline (8 predefined options)
- Graphichs (40+ predefined options)
and finally two tabs (Position and Options) that allow a full customization
of the bullet and numbering style as well as the placement and paragraph
attributes of the bulleted or numbered list.


To change the bullet type for example, go to options, click on level 1,
select bullet in the first drop down list, then click on the button with
three dots and select the bullet type you want (switch to the OpenOffice
font type for a wide choice of bullet points). Adjust then the indentation
and spacing to text in the position tab and click Ok.
If you intend to re-use the same bullet often, you may want to consider to
create a style for it.

Cheers,

Michele

I can take number 1.

Yes, it's quite easy. I'll assume you are talking about Writer. First, turn on 
the header (and you are not using styles, although you really should be). 
Insert -> Header -> Default . If it's already on, don't do this step as it 
will turn off the headers. Put the cursor in the header, and hit tab twice, 
or if the number will be the only thing in the header, click on the right 
justify button. Now Insert -> Fields -> Page Number.

As for 2, I don't have that problem, so I can't help you. I suspect it is 
because you are trying to mix numbering methods, something I learned a while 
ago not to do.

Thanks for the quick reply. I know about the styles option (my current 
solution), and the position and options tabs. (I'm using OOo 2.1.0, BTW.) 
What I'm wondering is for the other 4 tabs, with their choices, can these 
choices be user altered or are they fixed? Admittedly, the Graphics tab is 
pretty good in it's set of choices.

2.Under Default languages for documents, select the document language for

What else, if anything, is connected to your router? Is there another 
computer?


When you installed OpenOffice did you install it only for you or for "all 
users"? And are you logged into Windows as the same user as when you 
installed it?


Do you have any other version(s) of OpenOffice installed?

You could try quitting all OpenOffice programs and renaming the file 
"C:\Documents and Settings\Harold\Application 
Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\setup.xcu" before 
starting OpenOffice. That file should get re-created. Before renaming the 
file, make sure the Quickstarter isn't running - look in the System Tray; if 
there's a grey icon with flying birds pictured, *right* click on it and 
choose Exit; if there's no icon then the Quickstarter isn't running so 
you're OK.

I don't think you can use the "open file" command.  Instead, try to import

Hello,

When I try to use OOo I get the following message:
"Either another instance of Openoffice.org is accessing your personal
settings or your personal settings are locked. Simultaneous access can lead
to inconsistancies in your personal settings. Before continuing you should
make sure user 'closes Openoffice.org on host'. Do you want to continue?"
I click "no" but I don't know how to 'close OOo on host'.
Can you help?

But now it won't let me save the document. And it freezes up, and I have

Katy,

I'm not on a Mac myself but I think you can go to
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/misc/Troubleshooting_guide.html
and click the link for "General error or General input/output error". 
That should help you out. The Mac is considered UNIX-based in these

Re: [users] Mail merge problem

[Albert Martinez]

If you have many on mail list, it is better to send to one address and 
cc:  rest of list then message stays small and mail server will spin out 
the copies for you. Mail servers have controls on size of message and 
the 1st might have been 7k but the rest of the list could be too large 
for your server to process. Of course, I am assuming you have done this 
before and speak from experience and are not trying to check if open 
office can do some of your arcane desires ;-) .

Hi there,
I'm experiencing some problems trying to merge and send a letter as an 
email with an attachment. I get an error from the mail server stating 
that the message size is to big. This is a bit strange since the file 
I'm attaching is about 7K in size. The error pointed to is in 
mailmerge.py and smtplib.py.


One mail is sent successfully but the rest of them is cancelled due to 
this error. I have followed the documentation on using mail merge but 
this happens all the time.


Has anyone else experienced this? And have anyone found a solution?

My setup is:
Win XP
OO 2.1
Thunderbird (the addresses is retrieved from a list in the address book.)

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a list of mail recipients in Thunderbird.
2) Follow the mail merge wizard using email as the output.
3) Setup mail server and account info through Tools-Options-Writer...
4) Try sending the letter as an attachment/pdf to the recipients.

Hope someone is able to help me with this.

 Dear Openoffice user group,

 First of all, I would like to thank you helping out such a

 administrator Checkmate services India.

 I have removed MS - Office and tried for Open office. I am facing  
 lot of problems related to Recovery, some time data loss and  
 Crashing. I have tried Office 2.1.0 but its the same. Can you  
 please guide me what's wrong I am doing. I have also installed JRE  
 in all the machines.

I have also found that .bin files are having multiple instances. I have to 
close them all frequently and then only office starts to run.

If the file size increases more then 1 MB then crashing  
 possibilites are also increases.

 I am keenly waiting for some guidance,

Thanking you,

To whom it may concern:
   
  Firstly, thank you for volunteering your time.  I have downloaded openoffice. 
 The download appears to have been successful, but I have been unable to 
install the program.  I now have an icon on my desktop for open office that 
reads:

   "OOo_2_1_0_Win32Intel_install_en-US_exe"
   
   
  When I click on the icon a page comes up that is copied below.  None of the 
links seem to work, and the progra installation does not execute.  Am I doing 
someting wrong?  What should I do?
   
  Thaks for your time,

[users] Just checking - re Dict.?

[James Elliott]

Whenever I upgrade to the latest version of OOo I install the Australian 
Dictionary.  In the interests of doing this quickly, and because I have 
added many words to my Australian Dictionary over the years and do not want 
to start off with a fresh copy, this is the way I do it (in Windows XP) ...


Once the new version of OOo is installed, I copy my existing dictionary list 
file and the three *.au files into the ... /share/dict/ooo folder, answering 
"yes" when it asks if I want to over-write the dictionary.lst file.


I then fire up OOo and go into Tools/Options/Language settings, to set my 
spell checker and locale to "Australian"


MY QUESTION
Is this the best way to do it?

I am always concerned that one day a new version of dictionary.lst, or other 
files in the ooo folder, will change and I will be copying old files over 
new formats.


A little worry only, but I would appreciate your comments.

Many thanks,  James

Re: [users] envelope formatting and page numbering

[James Elliott]

I use OOo for printing my envelopes all the time, either individually or as 
a mail merge (in the case of invoices and statements, or circular letters), 
and not only have had no trouble with it, but find it easier and more 
reliable to use than M$ Office.


I don't know what your problem is - perhaps if you were more specific in 
describing your challenges, we could walk you through the way to do it.

You do not need a printer to see that even on screen it puts a #10
envelope on the bottom of a page that is much larger than the envelope
dimensions and no amount of tweaking of the settings move the input
addressee and sender into a position on that sheet to print on the
envelope.  Had you a printer and you tried to print it only the sender
information is printed on the envelope.  Does anyone there care about
this enough to make it work?  Why all the trouble to provide an
alternative that doesn't work and reply to requests as below?

Dan...
Are you affiliated with Sun or open office?  Or a concerned volunteer
helping out?

Does anyone test the code for complete functionality before programs are
shipped/incorporated with the OS?  Something I think M$ does.

>How do you place numbers on pages? 

I don't use openoffice because it's impossibly hard to remember how to
and time consuming.  Menus and options are just too much like a jigsaw
puzzle without documentaion help.  Much easier to install windows and
use word perfect.
> Do you use a header or footer to put them in? 
(footer -center- page of pages) You mean this information now makes it
possible to answer a question?
> Without knowing how you do this, we have no 
> way to tell you how it can be done easier.

Sounds like a programmer's response. "show us the code you've written
attempting to access use of your printer through our operating system
and if you're close we'll acknowledge and maybe help you..."
You mean you can/will not tell me all the options unless I specify
exactly where I place my numbers on the page?
Am I communicating with a machine or person? Do you mean you
cannot/willnot write a help file to help me do this that I might access
info. for all options regarding page numbering and spare you and me this
impossible quest of who is more ignorant here?
If it exists already why can't I find it and why wasn't I referred to it?
When is openoffice going to be as good as wordperfect or even better for
doing the simple stuff like printing envelopes  and page numbering?

This is some kind of test to see what people will put up with to avoid
the M$ grip?   The grip is getting tighter because nothing else does it
any better!?!

Why doesn't OO look at how Word Perfect does it and do it very similar?
Sheeesh you guys act like your reinventing the wheel and you dare not
stray too far from command line concept.
How does open office feel like they are furthering the cause of
providing a working alternative to Windows based productivity if it
takes longer and more learning resources to accomplish the same task?
Doesn't competition mean doing it better, faster, easier, and more
reliably?  Does open office ever plan to just make it easier?

Re: [users] internet security - anti-virus etc.

[James Elliott]

I have been using AVG for years on my own computers and put it on customer 
computers when:


1.  they do not have an anti-virus;
2.  their commercial antivirus is about to expire;
3.  when they have Norton and Norton is the probable cause of their 
problems.


We do sell VET for those who need to purchase their software for accounting, 
policy, or legal reasons, but otherwise recommend AVG.


The trouble with Norton and some of the others is that they are trying to 
corner the WHOLE market:  anti-virus;  spyware;  adware;  malware;  hacker 
intrusions;  data mining; and so on.  The result is such a complex piece of 
software that it ends up stopping you from doing what you want to do on and 
with your computer.  I prefer separate anti-virus, spyware, and firewall 
software and also use a hardware firewall.


I recommend AVG with regard to anti-virus, and use Spybot and Ad-aware for 
malware.


Kind regards,  James

Since a computer crash a couple of year ago (not necessarily virus

I've been using a free version of AVG which seems very satisfactory.  It 
was
put on by the "expert" who cleaned my PC and upgraded it from Windows 98 
to
XP.  I had Norton Professional Security 2004 previously which I found 
often

interfered with the installation of new software.  I haven't had the same
problems with AVG.

An update to version 7.5 has just been issued.

Does Open Office offer this service, or can you recommend one?

Norton anti-virus software IS a virus.  It runs processes in the

without your permission.  It misses a LARGE number of problems that AVG 
gets
everytime.  Norton frequently takes control of the computer without giving

[users] tech support questions

Hi, I'm using version 2.0, Writers.  Could you please help me with:
   
  1.I can't find the PDF export button on any toolbars, and I want to send your 
user's manual to my desktop so I can look at it offline. How is this possible?
   
  2. During printing, when I select a page range, openoffice always ends up 
printing whatever was in the range PLUS all the page numbers after the last 
indicated page. For instance on a 10 page document, if I said I wanted 1-3, 6, 
8 printed, it would print 1-3, 6, 8 and also pages 9 and 10. How do I 
troubleshoot this?
   
  3. My spellcheck seems not to be installed. How do I get it working/configure 
my openoffice to have a spellcheck?
   
  If these questions require more help, could you please direct me to ANY phone 
support line available for openoffice? Thank you very much for your help,

Re: [users] tech support questions

Ben:

I would like to clarify that you have written to a mailing list, staffed with 
volunteers, not a Help Desk.  OpenOffice.org is a part of the OpenSource 
movement.

Now to your questions:

First, Export as PDF is found under the File menu.
Second, you need to open an issue for the problem with extra pages, or there 
may already be one.  Go to www.openoffice.org and click on the support menu 
item.  You will have to subscribe in order to submit an issue.  Your 
information will only be used to send messages to you about the particular 
issue you filed.
Third, Are you speaking about autocorrect or automatic misspelled word 
detection?  

Lastly, because this is a volunteer effort there is no phone support.  However, 
if you are using one of the Sun supported platforms you can purchase StarOffice 
for $89 per year and get telephone support.  The price quoted is subject to 
change and was based upon the last time I looked at the StarOffice product page 
at Sun.

 OOo 2.1 should run on Windows ME. It will probably run slower 
because it has more features. For that matter, you should be able to 
open *.doc and *.xls files with OOo 1.1.4 also. I did when I had it 
installed on my computer.

Hi

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 File>Send> E-mail as Microsoft word or File>send> 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 File>Save As> and choose the appropriate file format and
disc.

Thanks

At the bottom, to the left, you see somenthing like Page 1/2.  Double
click on that, to bring up the navigator.  You'll see a box where you

 Please be more specific in describing your problem. You say the 
page numbering suddenly stopped. Apparently you had page numbers on 
your pages before. What do you have now?
 I will take one guess as to what happened. If this is not the 
cause, then please write again with more details.
 Click View at the top to open its menu. Does Field Names have a 
check (tick) in front of it? If so, click Field Names to remove it. 
The page numbers should appear again.
 It is important to explain what is happening. If what I described 
was the problem, a statement that the page numbers were suddenly 
being replaced by a name would have been very helpful.

Hi

At present there is no converter from Works to OpenOffice. There is one

processing files from works to *.doc format (Save as) and then import them
into OpenOffice. I know this is a pain but when I converted from Works to
Word some years ago I had to export from Works and then check it in Word.

Hi Roger

We seem to be having some problems with over-zealous virus checkers at
present.


Procedure
1 Disconnect your computer from the web (either remove your LAN cable or
disconnect from your dial-up).
2. Disable your anti-virus and firewall software
3. Install OpenOffice
4. Enable your anti-virus and firewall
5. Reconnect to the web
Once the install is completed and you have time to spare on the machine
please run a complete virus scan of your computer to verify that you are not
currently infected.

I hope that this will enable you to install open office.

Both times after the download had completed I was told that it was Infected,

   Perhaps you need to rename this desktop icon 
to "OOo_2_1_0_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe" (Replace the last 
underline "_" with a period "."   Then try double clicking the icon.

 OOo 2.1 has what is called the Navigator. Use the F5 key to open 
the Navigator. The page number is in a box at the top. Change the 
number to 350, and it will show up on the screen.

 It would be helpful if we know what operating system you are 
using. By mentioning *.bin files, it might be Linux. We need to know 
for sure. How much memory does your computer have? What is your 
processor speed? (CPU speed) Do you have the AutoRecovery set in

[users] Seem to have lost OO

[BBroad]

 I have Mac OS 10.4.8 and installed X11 first.  Yesterday I had the .dmg on 
my desktop and successfully opened the application, played a bit, and closed 
it.  I did not move it to my applications folder.

Today I can find no trace of the .dmg drive icon or the application.  Lots of 
Library files.  I've checked the Trash, but I'm not sure what it was named.

Feeling like an idiot, I hope someone can help me.  I sure don't want to take 
the time to download it all a second time.

Also, I opened and tried to print a tutorial .pdf, but it came out with words 
all over the place and not making sense.

RE: [users] [moderated] YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE

Rob:

Incorrect. There is a section of compiled OpenOffice.org code that triggers, 
falsely, 
Norton/Symatec AntiVirus.  According to Norton, this is our problem, not theirs.

 There is a French language mailing list just like this one: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send your problem to them in French, and you 
should get a reply in French.

 Simple solution:

your papers in Word's format. It's just a matter of knowing where to 
look. (And this is very easily overlooked.)]

Re: [users] Seem to have lost OO

[James Mckenzie]

Barbara:

This is why we recommend installing to the Applications folder.

However, this will not help your situation, so I will give the following
VOLUNTEER advice:

1.  Go to the Applications folder.
2.  Open the Utilities folder.
3.  Find the Terminal application and open/start it.
4.  Type in the following command:
 find . -name '*.dmg'
This will search all of the folders for the current user
for files ending in .dmg to include the Trash.
If you do not find this file, you can revisit the
OpenOffice.org site and download it a second (
or if needed a third, fourth, fifth, etc. time.)

Please, after downloading the .dmg file, place the
OpenOffice.org 2.1 item in your Applications folder.

If you wish, to remove it, instructions can be
found at the Mac Porting FAQ site which can be accessed
from http://porting.openoffice.org/mac

 Yes, that will get rid of them as long as you remember to empty 
the recycle bin also. Otherwise, they will remain in that folder 
until you empty it.

Dan:

Could also be MacIntosh.  There is no MS Office that I know of for Linux.

If it is a MacIntosh based system, we need the following information:
CPU type (G4, G5, Intel Duo are examples)
CPU speed 
Version of MacOSX 
Amount of installed Memory.
These can all be found by clicking on the Apple symbol and clicking on About 
this Mac.
