I take it the problem only occurs when OpenOffice is a slave of the other
software.  That is probably an issue that needs to be resolved by the makers
of that software, if they have any interest in doing so.

All you can do is raise the issue with them.  You could file an issue with
OpenOffice but I would not invest any hope in the outcome.

When a toolbar pops up, you can cancel this auto pop up by unchecking the
toolbar in menu View>Toolbars. Then, the setting is kept until you
reactivate the toolbar.
You can also dock the toolbar at the bottom of the window, therefore, the
text doesn't 'jump'. This is very usefull for some toolbars that you often
use in the context (like tables).

Re: [users] setting margins

[Adrian Try]

Hi Don

I am unsing Open Office 2.0.  I would like to know if I can adjust the  
margins on the spreadsheet and if it can be done, how?  Also, is it  
possible to pring in landscape mode as well as portrait, and if so,  
how?  Thank you very much.


It is. Have a look at Format / Page on the menu bar.

As you become a more advanced user, you may also want to consider  
formatting pages with Page Styles.


You can learn more about this by looking at the guides and manuals at the  
documentation project at:

http://documentation.openoffice.org/

Hope this helps.

You're neither dense nor stupid. It's really not there!

OpenOffice.org is already a large download, and adding clipart would only  
make it larger.


If you don't mind a large download, and would like OpenOffice.org with  
clipart included, then have a look at the OxygenOffice project at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop
OxygenOffice is basically OpenOffice with clipart, templates, fonts and  
other extras added. The download is around twice as big, though.


Alternatively, you can download your clipart separately. A good source of  
free clipart is

www.openclipart.org
which is a project started by OpenOffice.org users.

I don't want to correspond with anyone, just want to know if there  
is...and where can I find...a clip art picture of an open book,  
preferably one that looks maybe like an open Bible?


Have a look at the pictures at Openclipart on this page:

Hope this helps.

True. But when I work with the file in a text editor instead of OOO, it
makes it much harder to read. I usually run tidy on it to make it more
legible, but I was hoping I could skip that step.

If you are using OpenOffice.org 2.1 and higher, you should be able to use Cmd+C

You can dock some of the floating toolbars (eg table, and 
bullets/numbers) beside (not below) the "fixed" toolbars at the 
top of the page. They still show/hide but they no longer cause 
the page to move up and down. At least, they don't on my OOo2.1 
setup.

Our software is called OpenOffice.org (OOo). Depending on how old 
your Wordperfect and Quattro Pro files are, OOo may open them. 
OOo can save them to Word and Excel. However, please note that 
some formatting may be lost when you do a conversion like this.

You're probably going to have to save it directly to the mount point of
that drive (sounds like a jump drive)

It is just my hard drive but the OOo save dialog shows all media: devices.
They are not symlinks. :-(
I can't save with a real file path (eg. /mnt/...) so that is a work around.

Is OOo using the KDE file dialog?
KWord uses what looks like the same dialog and yet it works.

Hi Lance,

I noticed from your post you are using Outlook Express so I will make the 
assumption you mean Outlook Express and not Outlook.

You can obtain a free spell check program for Outlook Express from 
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

A patch is also available on this page which you need to run after installing 
the spell check program.

This will make the spell checking suitable for Australia (eg "colour" and 
not "color").

I hope this helps.

In Adobe Reader click on the "Select" tool, outline the table with the

 Two methods:

into Outlook.
2) Search the web for a free or inexpensive spellchecker for Outlook. 
Download and install it.

 I periodically use OOo on Win 98 SE. So, I know for a fact that 
it will operate on this Windows platform. Presently, I have version 
2.0.4 on that windows partition, but that is only because I have been 
too lazy to upgrade to 2.1.0.

 Read the license for OpenOffice.org at 
http://openoffice.org/license.html. It will explain what you can or 
can not do. If you have a legal consultant, let him or her study it 
to give you a legal opinion.
 Having said that, the OpenOffice.org office suite can be used for 
any legal purpose whether for personal or commercial use. 
Furthermore, you can charge extra for placing the software on the 
computer.

OpenOffice does not contain word. The word processing component in OOo
is called writer. Aditionally there is no 'outlook contact organiser'.
OOo is not a Microsoft product.

Have a look here : documentation.openoffice.org for more information

 www.onlinebible.org has Bible computer programs with an open 
Bible as one of its icons. You might want to ask permission from them 
to use this icon as clip art. It is their intellectual property.

 There is no software that is compatable with Microsoft Publisher. 
(None that will read Publisher files, and none that can write in 
Publisher's file format.)
 However, there are other DTP (desktop publishing) programs which 
will can be used in the place of Publisher. Scribus is one of them.

FW: [users] version 2.0.x download

[Fajardo, Angelo]

I apologize and I stand corrected, the latest is 2.1.

The webpage you directed me to and that the website directs me to for "System 
Requirements" is titled "System Requirements for OpenOffice.org 2.0".  As a 
matter of fact all the links on the left of the download webpage under the 
"Documentation" heading refer to 2.0 not 2.1.  The button used to select the 
download for 2.1 for "Windows" does not list W98.  I've yet to find any webpage 
that specifically mentions W98 as being compatible with 2.1.  This is why I was 
skeptical as to support for W98.  

But I suppose I can take your word for it.  It's just not listed in any of the 
spec's.

I don't know what website you are looking at, but www.openoffice.org
(the official website) clearly states that 2.1 is the latest stable
version :
"OpenOffice.org 2.1 is recommended for all users, as it represents a
significant improvement over all previous versions"

There are of course development builds which are numbered 2.2 and can
be found here, however these are not recommended for most users :
http://download.openoffice.org/680/

I think the page
(http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html) hasn't
been updated with the release of 2.1 ... As other posters have advised
you, 2.1 (the latest version) should run fine on win98, dependant on
the caveats noted by other posters.

Hello,

Is it possible to stop Writer from automatically showing/hiding the

I click out of the table, the toolbar disappears. With the page moving
up and down each time this happens, I find it very off-putting.

I've looked through the options and searched the site, but I've been
unable to find the answer.

Can anyone help?

Subject: [users] Save File Function Problem with OO 2.1

I am using version 2.1 of OpenOffice.org. My problem is:

I use a utility called PC Safe and Secure ( PCSS - vers 1.2), a file 
encryption package supplied by www.Boomerangsoftware.Com. When I open an 
encrypted file, PCSS loads, opens the encrypted file, decrypts it into a 
temporary file, and then calls the relevant application, giving it the 
temporary file name to work on. When I save any changes and exit the 
application, PCSS then resumes control, updates changes to the encrypted 
file and closes it, and then deletes the temporary file.

All this has worked well for several years with all my apps. However, when 
OO Calc or Writer is the relevant application, it works exactly the same but

I cannot use the "save" function at all to save any changes - the function 
seems to be unavailable for some reason. It is also noticeable that the 
temporary filename does not appear in the header line of Calc or Writer, 
even though it has opened the file and I am working on it. I have got around

this by using the "save as" function and saving the changes by overwriting 
the temporary file, and this works.

Can you please have a look at this problem.

Thank you

Keith Partridge

Sometimes the font list on the style dialog is empty.
The dropdown on the main window is full.

I think it may be because I created the file in Windows and I set the

It fixes if I set the size to 12pt.

You can delete a keybinding using Tools >Customise : Keyboard.

The Alt key is generally unavailable for keybindings.  Alt on its own may be
reserved for menu access but why Alt+Ctrl | Shift | Function-key are
unavailable is anyone's guess.  The Tab key is also unavailable.  Weird.

you'll see that M$ won't provide a free fix for Windows 2000/2000P/2000
Server/Win98x.

However they are kind enough to point out:


All versions of Windows can be manually updated using the tzedit.exe
utility or other techniques documented in Knowledge Base article 914387,
webcast 930688, and similar articles for other countries, which is the
preferred method of remediation for any product outside of Mainstream
Support. (The tzedit.exe tool allows you to create and edit time zone
entries for the Date/Time settings in the Control Panel, especially for
daylight-saving time).


Anyway, back to the OP's question:

Answer is yes... as long as your OS or computer clock sync device/site
is :-) And if you are going to use ntp to sync your clock, please
consider using the ntp pool servers instead of direct ntp timeservers, see:

That may well be a bug.  I don't want to test it.

When I stopped using Format >Cells and converted all my formatting to
styles, I discovered that bottom borders in rows had somehow also become top
borders in the rows below.  So, I am not surprised that you are getting
strange results.

You may fare better using styles rather than hard formatting.

Re: [users] Paste shortcut on MacOSX

[Andrew Fisk]

Because you are running under X11 you have to use X11 key commands --  
control-v and control c


the "working" command c is really the copy fuction from Apple's  
launcger interface for X11


neooffice will give you a much more "mac" interface including  
standard copy & paste

Re: [users] version 2.0.x download

[Paul]

The "latest" is 2.2.x which, according to the openoffice website, does not list 
W98 as a compatible OS.


I don't know what website you are looking at, but www.openoffice.org
(the official website) clearly states that 2.1 is the latest stable
version :
"OpenOffice.org 2.1 is recommended for all users, as it represents a
significant improvement over all previous versions"

There are of course development builds which are numbered 2.2 and can
be found here, however these are not recommended for most users :
http://download.openoffice.org/680/



And I already know that 2.0.x is compatible with 98. This is the one that I want.  But 
you would know this if you had read my email.  As my previous email stated "I can't 
find a way to do this (download 2.0.x) from your (openoffice) website."  It is 
simply not available any longer only 2.2.x is.

So, is there a way to access 2.0.x from the open office website?


I think the page
(http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html) hasn't
been updated with the release of 2.1 ... As other posters have advised
you, 2.1 (the latest version) should run fine on win98, dependant on
the caveats noted by other posters.

/paul

ps, please don't mail me directly... use the list.

[users] search and replace non-printing characters

[Harold Drabkin]

In Word, I am able to easily convert an asci only document into formated 
paragraphs by searching and replacing on "^p" for a hard return, and 
"^t" for a tab. ( for example, find all instances of "^p" and replace 
with a space, etc.


I am trying to find how to do this in OpenOffice, as it is a frequent 
task. I've tried using the "special characters" , but I do not see 
anything indicating what to use for the entry.

I seem to have missed something.

Manually change the file extension to ".csv". This should cause it to 
open in Calc. If you don't, do this, it will probably open in Write.


Also, without changing any extensions, within Calc, you can select the 
menu item Format -> Sheet from file ... . Select the file you want from 
the dialog box that pops up. Another dialog box will then pop up. You 
may have to click on a sheet to make the OK button active, but don't 
touch anything else unless you know what you are doing. Click OK. Your 
file will be inserted.

[users] New Daylight Saving Time Dates

[EdN]

The following is from an e-mail from Microsoft:

 This year Daylight Saving Time (DST) extends by approximately four
weeks.  In compliance with this provision in the Energy Policy Act of
2005, DST dates in the United States and Canada will start three weeks
earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week
later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November).

 In some instances, effort will be required to accommodate the new DST
legislation.  For example, systems and applications may need to be
updated directly, while in other circumstances the application may
inherit the date and time information from the underlying system.

 Microsoft is committed to helping customers that are affected by the
DST changes make this transition as seamless as possible.  Microsoft is
producing updates for Windows products as well as other Microsoft
products affected by the new U.S. statute.  These updates will be
released through technical support channels including Microsoft Customer
Service & Support (CSS), as well as online channels such as Windows
Update and Microsoft Update.

 Details of the updates for Microsoft Windows and affected Microsoft
applications, how customers can acquire them and when they will be
available can be found on the Microsoft website at
http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007.  Corresponding technical Knowledge
Base articles are linked from this website as well

I cannot find Focus, Select, Jump, Move or any such Help topic...or a related

I have a section of spreadsheet for my car maintenace and one for mileage.
I have created buttons for each and figured out how to locate the precise cell

However, I am totally stymied at **using** that location info to actually put me

This is from the "horse's mouth" so to speak:
~
OpenOffice.org runs fine on Vista. The current version (2.1) has some
minor bugs that are only annoyances (e.g. OOo uses the "old" file 
dialog instead of the pretty(?) new one from Vista). They will be 
fixed in OpenOffice.org 2.2

Some problems with system integration (e.g. showing thumbnails and
document property columns in the Explorer) are known that can't be 
fixed until Microsoft publishes the necessary interfaces. :-(

But they will not have any impact on running OpenOffice.org. You can 
use it on Vista as you can on XP.

Mathias

Daylight Savings is usually handled by the operating system (eg
Windows).


so it will happen some months later this year, unless you pay
for the Beta? ;-)


 Mandriva Linux and possibly other Linux distributions have a
small program that will keep the computer clock in sync with the
atomic clocks on the web. Does Windows have a similar program? I
would think so. For those in the USA using Windows, it should
just be a matter of installing and then running the program while
connected to the internet. At least this would be a good starting
point.

Dan


Windows does it by default, it has never been a problem, for me at
any rate.

Ron Ferguson


 It does what by default: reset to Daylight Savings Time (DST) or
sync the computer clock with the atomic clocks on the web? Even my
Win 98SE resets to DST, but it will only do that on the first Sunday
of April, and on the last Sunday of October reset the clock to
Standard Time. It will not handle changing this at any other time of
the year. If the computer clock is in sync with the web clocks, then
the change will be made automatically regardless of when the change
occurs.
I just did a Google search and found a number of free programs
which will sync the computer clock to any chosen NTP time server on
the web.

Dan


Good Question :) So I checked.

It looks as though I set it to internet time ages ago and then forgot all 
about it, but I cannot be sure. It's very easy, anyhow. One simply double 
clicks the clock on the task bar then go to Internet time and set it. 
Obviously it only works when connected and can be set to automatic.

Daylight Savings is usually handled by the operating system (eg
Windows).


so it will happen some months later this year, unless you pay for
the Beta? ;-)


 Mandriva Linux and possibly other Linux distributions have a
small program that will keep the computer clock in sync with the
atomic clocks on the web. Does Windows have a similar program? I
would think so. For those in the USA using Windows, it should just be
a matter of installing and then running the program while connected
to the internet. At least this would be a good starting point.

Windows does it by default, it has never been a problem, for me at any rate.

According to the help-file (and I followed it successfully) you go to 
Format/Page tab 'Background'. Open the dropdownlist and select 'Image'. Then 
navigate to the picture you want as a background.

[users] Converting Text to Spreadsheet

[John Barman]

Iexpect I am missing something in this problem, judging by some of the 
complicated suggestions I have read. Being just a simple soul, I have used, 
when facing this problem, the OO 'Convert to Table' facility , ie in a Text 
document - Table/Convert. Then copying the resultant table into a blank 
spreadsheet which gives you Columns and Rows as normal.

I dont know if this is any help to others?

Hold on. Don't re-download just yet. What it seems you are looking at

are the options for 'save as' when you are in writer. This is the word

processing package of OpenOffice.

What you need to do is open the .csv in calc, then the save as options

will be available.

Re: [users] Using Open Office

[Marc Hug]

I had both MS Word and OpenOffice on the same computer, and there was no 
problem with that.

The version of OO was 1.1.4, and the version of MS Word was Word 97.

Word,and Word Perfect being on the same Computer. Or are they able to be used 
together.
Thank you very much,

Re: [users] version 2.0.x download

[Marc Hug]

From what has been said before on this mailing list, OpenOffice should 
work fine with MS Windows 98, but maybe it will be a little slow. It 
depends on how fast is your computer. At  
you can download the program, procvided you have an ADSL connection 
(otherwise it will take hours).

Is there a way to download version 2.0.x of Open Office.  I have Win 98 se and don't plan to move away from it anytime soon.  It works just fine for me.  I can't find a way to do this from your website.

Re: Re: [users] Open office = Freeware?

[arnold huzen]

Or you can use File/Send/Send as Microsoft ...

You can also ask the question if the recipient needs to edit the file your 
sending. If he doesn't you can send the document as PDF using File/Send/Send as 
PDF.
