Re: [users] Stability and what size limitations
Thanks for the feedback. OpenOffice is certainly not my company, I'm merely a contributor to the open source OpenOffice product. This might be something that your company could develop for people doing family photo albums. There are several applications out there that handle creating photo albums (but still not sure if that's exactly what your after) - google is your friend here. What I like about using something like Power Point is the opportunity to bring in more then one picture to a page and have the page itself be a theme in some cases several pages are needed. In addition you can use a graphic program (eg, gimp) to combine several photos, which can then be inserted into a standard 'photo CD' creator (eg, windows movie maker, nero, etc...) /paul -- Vista is dramatically more secure than any other operating system released Bill Gates Huh ??

I'm sorry but the registration and double checking procedure is just too long, i didn't bother to do that. A pure guess: do you have Java properly installed and known to OpenOffice? Go to ToolsOptionsOpenOffice.orgJava and ensure a version of JRE is installed. Make sure it's both known to OO in that panel (listed) *and* selected (that the radio button on the left has a black dot in it). If yes, sorry I give up. If no, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and choose one of the Windows (offline or online) JRE's to install. Make sure to close OO *and* the Quickstarter (System Tray icon) before you begin the installation. If you don't reboot the Quickstarter should not re-open but, if it does, make sure you close it before changing and options within OO. Once the installation is complete, open OO (not the Quickstarter), go back to the the Java option and register your new JRE there. To register the JRE, click Add and browse to the JRE folder, probably c:\program files\java\jre1.5.0_11 or possibly a different x in 1.5.x. Make sure you select the JRE by clicking the little radio button on the left of the pane (to get a black dot in its middle), *even if* it's the only one there. Once the JRE is registered within OO, close OO again and then create a new document. Now try the Properties menu. If the problem persists, sorry, I give up (again!). The reason for closing the Quickstarter is that when it's open OO tends to forget new option settings; I think the Quickstarter keeps open some file so that changes to that file don't get written to disk. I stopped using the Quickstarter a while back because of this. Hope this helps. If not, you may need to consider uninstalling OO and re-installing it again. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org

Re: [users] odg file
Hi, This is a list answered by volunteers in their free time. There is no phone number to call. There is no way to set a video as a background in an Impress file. Generally if something is in the background it needs to not draw attention to itself, thus I don't think background videos will be implemented in Impress or any other module of OpenOffice. If you want to have a video in the background you could try Insert - Movie and Sound though personally I have struggled to find a format that OpenOffice will allow me to insert. You could then place text and other items over the top of this video. This will not translate to a website though as your web browser e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox will not display .odp files. To use a page created with any part of OpenOffice (and personally I would suggest using Writer rather than Impress) save the file by going to File - Save As and make sure where it says File Format that HTML is selected. Your webserver will allow you to upload this HTML file. I hope this is getting closer to answering your questions.

If I ask to open a help page related to any Calc function, I get the following message: Could not find Help page. Unfortunately the Help page you selected was not found.

In the OpenOffice folder, in Programs, the same kind of files are there in \help\en\scalc.idx as in the other help folders, so it looks as though everything downloaded OK.

I tried twice to download Oo from the main site OpenOffice.org (green button), but unsuccefully. I work on a Dell Dimension 8300 running on Microsoft XP (2). Internet connection is very good (cable). Although the download started well, it freezes 1 second before the end. The icon showing that data transfert is going on is still moving from one side to the other of that little window. Its still indicating that 1 second is needed to fullfil the action. The speed of data transfert is also freezed. Looking to mij network connection, I see that bytes (very little) are still exchanged. Two attempts ended in the same way. Do I have to be more patient? ( I waited twice for 10 minutes facing an apparently freezed download window) Does somebody know how to cope with this? Thanks in advance for a little help Ronny

[users] OpenOffice Base question
Hi all, I am using OO Base to create e template form that stores its input fields into a database. One of the fields of the form is a JPG/GIF/PNG image. The form works fine and allows me to upload an image and stores it into the underlying database. However, when I try to create a report that displays the fields stored into the table, I get a warning message by the report wizard that says Binary fields cannot be displayed, so it won't allow me to include the image field in the report. Is there a way around this? I don't see a reason why OO wouldn't be able to read an image from a DB and paste in a Writer document. I can see the problem if the field was some generic binary data, but I have explicitly specified that the field type is image, not just binary. Please, any help on this will be very appreciated.

[users] Writer: Is there a way to superimpose or overstrike two characters
In Writer, is there a way to superimpose or overstrike two arbitrary characters? I know that, with certain options set, Writer will replace the string 1/2 with a single character, consisting of the 1 and the 2 made small and separated by a diagonal line. I'm looking for a way to take, say X and Y, and combine them so that they appear as a single character, with X as a small superscript above and Y as a small subscript directly below, sort of like this: X Y - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I do have another teething problem. when I'm typing text, there seems to be a pink tinge to it when I strike the keys. Also, a blue highlight often occurs in the word I'm typing. Can you help? Many thanks Margaret OK! I am going to have to guess at this one, because I don't have Vista and it's difficult to visualise what someone else is seeing. Pink tinge? If this is like a wavy red (pink?) line under all the words you type, the auto spell checker is on, but not working correctly. Toggle the toolbar auto spell check (ABC) button on and off. If the pink tinge toggles then you need to rectify your language/dictionary configuration. Blue Highlighting sounds like you are seeing the Auto-Correct Word Completion. From the menu Tools - AutoCorrect.. - click the Word Completion tab and uncheck the Enable word completion field. If this doesn't resolve one or both issues, reply back to this list users@openoffice.org and maybe someone using Vista can replicate you situation.

But I had a brilliant idea to try before moving on to your suggestions below. I have a live/install CD for Ubuntu Edgy amd64 and I knew it loaded OOo. So I rebooted the computer to the live/install CD. When it was finished I launched OOo Writer. As soon as it was up I typed a few words into the blank document that opened automatically. Then I selected a word and tried to drag and drop it. It did not work. Then I went into Tools Options and noticed that use printer metrics was checked under the compatibility options for Writer. I unchecked it, opened a new blank document, and the use printer metrics box was back checked again. Then I tried Wizards Web and it crashed OOo. These are exactly the same problems that I have with OOo 2.0.4 on Ubuntu Edgy amd64 as installed on the hard disk. There are other things in Tools Options that do not get saved as well, but the use printer metrics test, the fact that drag and drop editing of text was broken, and that the web wizard crashed OOo was enough. I knew right then and there that there is nothing wrong with my installation of Ubuntu Edgy amd64. OOo 2.0.4 isn't working any better with the live CD, so the problem is not me or some rogue conflict or missing library. The problem is either in Ubuntu Edgy amd64 or in OOo 2.0.4 and their interaction with some hardware device on this computer. It is also important to revisit the fact that a year and a half ago I bought this laptop and put Ubuntu Hoary amd64 on it, together with OOo 1.something (whatever was in the repositories then). Later I upgraded to Breezy amd64, then Dapper amd64, and each time upgraded OOo to whatever was the latest version. I never had any of the above problems. The problems all started right after upgrading to Edgy amd64 and OOo 2.0.4. And I have researched this and posted about it on the Ubuntu amd64 forums and there are half a dozen others with the same problem -- out of tens of thousands of users of OOo on Edgy amd64. So the logic is inescapable: Either 2.0.4 or Edgy amd64 does not like something in this computer. It would be pointless to try to fix OOo 2.0.4 -- I can uninstall and reinstall all day long and it's not going to help. I could wipe the hard disk, reinstall Edgy amd64, reinstall OOo 2.0.4, and the problems will still be there. The live CD proves that. The question remains, however, is it OOo 2.0.4 or Ubuntu Edgy amd64? I also have a live CD for 32-bit Edgy. I rebooted the computer to it and tried OOo Writer again. This time drag and drop worked perfectly. The web wizard worked perfectly. And changing settings in Tools Options were saved for subsequent new documents. I still don't know if it is Edgy and64 or the version of OOo 2.0.4 that is in the Edgy amd64 repositories. Download the RPM package for OOo 2.1 from OOo. Note: interesting that the download page (http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html?focus=download) shows Linux 2.2.13(120MB) - I'm downloading to see exactly what that is but the download shows OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz). Extract via the archive manager. Rename the directory where the archive manager extracted the files to something simple like 'OOo'. ia32-libs has been suggested in other installs for amd64 - Google +
