1) If you want the menus, Help text etc. in English but spell checking in
Danish, read
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Getting_Started/Choosing_language_settings

2) If you are using an English keyboard and want Danish vowels (and lots of
other non-English characters), read
http://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~ecl6tam/ and/or
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx

I use the first because I had already installed it when I found the second
but it's your choice. I think I was lucky.  If you use the first, read the
installation instructions *carefully*. They are completely accurate but a
little unusual and non standard.

3) If you want the menus etc. in Danish, read
http://da.openoffice.org/index.html

[users] No writer import support for .wri (msWRITE) files, no support for msWORKS components

2007-08-26 Thread Stephen K Schuck
Just loaded OpenOffice.org 2.2.1. All aspects function, apparently. 
Unfortunately, I have not found a way to import msWRITE files, of which I have 
many. msWord will import them without problem. Have I missed something?

OpenOffice.org provides an alternative to upgrading from msWORKS to msOFFICE. 
Unfortunately, OOo 2.2.1 doesn't seem able to import msWORKS spreadsheet or 
msWORKS database, the only two components that I use. Have I missed something?

This apparent inability to convert my significant number of legacy files makes 
OOo 2.2.1 of questionable utility. I hope there is a solution.

[users] Trouble un-installing OO

2007-08-26 Thread Robin S Hooper
Good Morning, Manfred.

Thanks for getting back to us soon quickly.

I'm running widowsXP Home, a registered version of 2002sp2. It appears that I'm 
running two versions, ver 1.1.4 and 2.0 of Open Office. Realizing this, I may 
have installed 1.1.4 and several months later, re-installed my OS, perhaps a 
year later installed version 2.0. Apparently, at that time I was not able to 
uninstall version 1.1.4. What may be some additional information you may need 
to know, is that, every time I need to re-boot I get OO prompts as follows:

(1)  

OpenOffice.org 2.0
Either another instance of OpenOffice.org is accessing your personal settings 
or your personal settings are locked.
Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistances in your personal settings. 
Before continuing, you should make sure use 'NIBOR/Compacq_Owner' closes 
OpenOffice.org on host 'NIBOR'. Do you really want to continue?Yes   No. I 
usally click No, and the message disappears.  

(2)

MOM.exe - .NET Framework Initialization error
To run this application, You first must install one of the versions of the .NET 
Framework: v2.0.50727. Contact your application publisher for instructions 
about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework. I then click the 
OK button and that disappears.

(3)

CTicketManagerWnd: msnmsgr.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because sirenacm.dll was not found. 
Re-install the application may fix this problem. Again, I click the OK button, 
and that disappears.

(4)

OpenOffice.org 1.1.4
Either another instance of OpenOffice.org is accessing your personal settings 
or your personal settings are locked.
Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistances in your personal settings. 
Before continuing, you should make sure use 'NIBOR/Compacq_Owner' closes 
OpenOffice.org on host 'NIBOR'. Do you really want to continue?Yes   No. I 
usally click No, and the message disappears.

At this point, I'm able to get to my PC without interuptions, a pain to say the 
least.  


Thanks Manfred

I need all the help I can get. Thanks again
Robin


Re: [users] I am using OpenOffice 2.2 should I be able to open Office 2007 documents

2007-08-26 Thread Spam Me
I repeat the previous assertion, there is nothing outside of MS Office 07 that 
can read/write the MS Office 07 XML file formats. There are some add-ins and 
converters that can work with docx but with less fidelity than OpenOffice 
currently deals with .doc; however the Sun plugin for MS Office does a better 
job of saving and opening ISO26300 word processor (.odt) files. If you are in a 
position to do so, it makes more sense to request the MS Office user to install 
the plugin so they can exchange ISO 26300 files.

Regarding MS Write, I think you are going to have to open the files in 
Word and save them as .doc files which OpenOffice can open.


Unfortunately not even Microsoft's own Word can read Works files. You 
need to open them in Works and save them as .doc files. However, the 
following may be of use: http://userful.com/support/ms-works


OpenOffice can't read these things because they are proprietary; many of 
the details of the inner workings are not published and it is thus 
impossible technically to support them. It's not lack of will.

Conversion problems such as this are always much more easily and 
effectively handled at the starting end rather than the receiving 
end.  If possible, return to your instances of Windows Write and 
Microsoft Works (or find a friends with one) and save your files in 
alternative formats that you can read into OpenOffice:
o  Microsoft Works spreadsheet can save as Excel (.xls) or 
comma-separated value (.csv).
o  Microsoft Works database can save as dBase (.dbf) - OpenOffice 
Base can apparently connect to this - as well as .csv.

o  Windows Write can save as Microsoft Word (.doc) or text only.

If that is not possible, there is a partial workaround for some of 
these file types which may help you.  You seem to be using Windows; 
if so, download and install the free viewers for Microsoft Word and 
Excel document files from the Microsoft web site.  (A Powerpoint 
viewer is also available.)  Open your existing files in these: the 
Word viewer will accept Windows Write files (as well as Works word 
processor files) and the Excel viewer will accept Works spreadsheet 
files.  Select all the text and copy-and-paste it into OpenOffice 
Writer or Calc as appropriate.  This will carry over your data and 
preserve most of the formatting, at least.


If you wish, you can also download and install the Compatibility Pack 
for Office, in which case these viewers will also accept the new 
Office 2007 file formats.  These can then be handled in the same way.


I trust this helps.

 Hi!

 I installed Open Office2.2 on my mac Intel w. the
 proper download etc and the X11 etc but have the
 following problem:

 OO opens fine but there are NO SOFTWARE PROGRAMS at
 all- no writer no calc no nothing.

 From what I can read from the Troubleshooting Guide
 this shouldn't be.

 I Dloaded the program last week w/ the same prob-
 thot it was a bad DL so deleted it and DLed it agian-
 same problem.

  *
 Have you tried File  New in the OpenOffice.org
 window?
 
 When I highlight file I get only use startup
 screen in pale letters and it is not clickable.

  *

 Do you have X11 installed? Are you using the X11 or
 Aqua build?

 I installed X11 yesterday-OO would not installtill I
 ddi.. Not using the Aqua build.

  **

 Which version of Mac OS X are you using?
 OpenOffice.org 2.2 is only supported on Mac OS X
 10.4 and later. It may work on Mac OS X 10.3, but
 there
 are no guarantees. You need to use an older version
 of
 OpenOffice.org or upgrade Mac OS X.

 Im am on 10.4.6 on a IMAc Intel Duo Core

with BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc.
However, if I export them as a PDF, it retains the high resolution.  Also, if I 
export only one of the screen captured images it also retains the high

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

2007-08-26 Thread CarolAnn Slominski-Caflisch
Hello-

Well!! I am most appreciative of the surprises -- your program is everything 
you said it would be and more! I doubted that something that sounded so simple 
and logical would really work universally, but it does. I am not impressed with 
Vista on this replacement computer I received because most of everything I had 
was obsolete under it. Fortunately your program has saved my nerves and my hair 
-- no longer do I have to worry about being a bald female from pulling out my 
hair over the problems with Vista.   

Feel free to send me info on anything else you create to save ALL OF US from 
Big Brother (Microsoft).

Thanks again and if you need testimonials you have a great one in me.

[users] Right mouse wheel does not work

2007-08-26 Thread hkleyboldt
Guten Tag users,

I use OO for a while now (every now and then only - in different versions up to 
the newest 2.2.1). What really keeps me off it and sticking to M$ Office is the 
fact, that OO does not support my right mouse wheel!
I have a A4-Tech Mouse with two wheels. One for vertical scrolling and one for 
horizontal scrolling. M$ supports both, OO and my favourite Browser Opera 
don't. It is not the fault of the driver but the fault of the software they say 
at A4tech. 
Since I like my two wheels, they save me a lot of time - especially in 
spreadsheets and tables. Unfortunately I will have to stick with Mickeysoft... 
I'm really sorry to do so and you would make me happy if you implemented this 
thing.


Another thing I use often is cutting and fitting pictures in a text document. I 
can do well with M$'s way of dragging an angle-shaped corner with my mouse to 
cut a picture. OO offers a menue where I can cut by numbers/ values which seems 
rather clumsy. 

I hope you understand what I mean - I use the menues in German an don't always 
know the english words.

[users] Icons not displayed on toolbars - Base

2007-08-26 Thread Bob McConnell
I have just installed OOo 2.2.1 on Win98SE, along with the postgres sdbc 
driver version 7.4. Base can connect with my PostgreSQL 8.2.4 server and 
open a database with no problem. But some of the icons in the tool bar 
and menus show up only as dark gray squares. In the file menu, only 
Export is blank. In the View menu, all icons are blank. The number of 
icons in the tool bar that are blank varies when I look at different 
screens and tables. On the main view with tables selected, two are 
blank. When Queries, Forms or Reports are selected, nine are blank. Four 
of them flash in when switching between selections, but drop out 
immediately. In table views, on one table only one is blank. On another 
table, 13 of the 16 are blank.


Is this a known problem, hopefully with a known fix, or do I need to 
submit a bug report? I did search the FAQ and email archives, but could 
not find anything that suggested a way to correct this problem. In the 
one thread that sounded like this problem, it appeared to me that the 
responder did not understand the problem, but thought the buttons had 
been disabled, which is not the case.

Re: [users] OF lowers the resolution of exported bitmaps

2007-08-26 Thread OOo Mac User

Hi,

You don't say what program you are using to achieve this task. You  
might be better off using a graphics program like The Gimp or a page  
layout program like Pages.
Draw has a limitation that means the maximum resolution  of bitmap  
outputs is ~100 dpi (just over screen resolution of 72 dpi, I think).


The issue for this is at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/ 
show_bug.cgi?id=4499 if you wish to vote for this enhancement.




Hope this helps

Re: [users] Trouble un-installing OO

2007-08-26 Thread OOo Mac User

Hi,

I would recommend having a look at this page for your MOM.exe error  
http://www.developerfood.com/mom-exe-application-error-0x135/ 
microsoft-public-windowsxp-perform-maintain/8e177f64- 
cb16-42ae-829f-425d0f3336c7/article.aspx


See this page for your msnmsgr.exe problem http:// 
www.eggheadcafe.com/aspnet_answers/msnmessenger/May2006/ 
post26908745.asp


Both of those were found by searching Google with your error messages.

With regards to the OpenOffice problem, if you go to the Control  
Panel and then to Add/Remove programs do you see listings for  
OpenOffice in there?

Is there more than one?

Get back to us with the answer to that, but in the meantime try:
Look in the bottom right corner of your screen where the time is. Do  
you have an icon that is greenish with birds on it? Right-click that  
and then click Quit and then restart your computer and see if that  
makes the message go away.





Hope this helps

Good Morning, Manfred.

Thanks for getting back to us soon quickly.

I'm running widowsXP Home, a registered version of 2002sp2. It  
appears that I'm running two versions, ver 1.1.4 and 2.0 of Open  
Office. Realizing this, I may have installed 1.1.4 and several  
months later, re-installed my OS, perhaps a year later installed  
version 2.0. Apparently, at that time I was not able to uninstall  
version 1.1.4. What may be some additional information you may need  
to know, is that, every time I need to re-boot I get OO prompts as  
follows:


(1)

OpenOffice.org 2.0
Either another instance of OpenOffice.org is accessing your  
personal settings or your personal settings are locked.
Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistances in your personal  
settings. Before continuing, you should make sure use 'NIBOR/ 
Compacq_Owner' closes OpenOffice.org on host 'NIBOR'. Do you really  
want to continue?Yes   No. I usally click No, and the message  
disappears.


(2)

MOM.exe - .NET Framework Initialization error
To run this application, You first must install one of the versions  
of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727. Contact your application  
publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version  
of the .NET Framework. I then click the OK button and that disappears.


(3)

CTicketManagerWnd: msnmsgr.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because sirenacm.dll was not  
found. Re-install the application may fix this problem. Again, I  
click the OK button, and that disappears.


(4)

OpenOffice.org 1.1.4
Either another instance of OpenOffice.org is accessing your  
personal settings or your personal settings are locked.
Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistances in your personal  
settings. Before continuing, you should make sure use 'NIBOR/ 
Compacq_Owner' closes OpenOffice.org on host 'NIBOR'. Do you really  
want to continue?Yes   No. I usally click No, and the message  
disappears.


At this point, I'm able to get to my PC without interuptions, a  
pain to say the least.

I need all the help I can get. Thanks again

Re: [users] Right mouse wheel does not work

2007-08-26 Thread Adrian Try

G'day

I have a A4-Tech Mouse with two wheels. One for vertical scrolling and  
one for horizontal scrolling. M$ supports both, OO and my favourite  
Browser Opera don't. It is not the fault of the driver but the fault of  
the software they say at A4tech.


It's probably more complicated than that. Both horizontal and vertical  
scrolling work perfectly (and automatically) for me in both Opera and  
OpenOffice.org. But I'm not using Windows. So it's obviously not just the  
fault of the software. The problem must come from a combination of driver,  
operating system and software.


I agree, though, that if OpenOffice.org can help the situation, they  
should.


Another thing I use often is cutting and fitting pictures in a text  
document. I can do well with M$'s way of dragging an angle-shaped corner  
with my mouse to cut a picture. OO offers a menue where I can cut by  
numbers/ values which seems rather clumsy.


I think you are talking about cropping. I agree that OpenOffice.org's way  
of cropping is clumsy. I normally crop in a graphics program before  
pasting the graphics. When using Windows, I like XnView (www.xnview.com),  
which makes simple editing of graphics easy. Many others prefer Irfanview.

PostgreSQL 8.2.4 server and open a database with no problem.  
But some of the icons in the tool bar and menus show up only as  
dark gray squares. In the file menu, only Export is blank. In  
the View menu, all icons are blank. The number of icons in the  
tool bar that are blank varies when I look at different screens  
and tables. On the main view with tables selected, two are  
blank. When Queries, Forms or Reports are selected, nine are  
blank. Four of them flash in when switching between selections,  
but drop out immediately. In table views, on one table only one  
is blank. On another table, 13 of the 16 are blank.


Is this a known problem, hopefully with a known fix, or do I  
need to submit a bug report? I did search the FAQ and email  
archives, but could not find anything that suggested a way to  
correct this problem. In the one thread that sounded like this  
problem, it appeared to me that the responder did not  
understand the problem, but thought the buttons had been  
disabled, which is not the case.


Thank you,

Are you using OpenOffice.org or Microsoft Office? Two different

likes the other. Microsoft Office will not work with OpenOffice.org 
files but OpenOffice.org will work with Microsoft Office files.

OpenOffice.org *does not* require a product key.

[users] Printing free-form text on labels

2007-08-26 Thread Marg B.
Hello,

I'm a new user trying to figure out how to do in Writer a procedure
that was very simple in my previous word processor (an elderly
version of WordPerfect which simply will not run on Windows Vista).
So far, it is defeating me entirely.

I have a C program which generates a .txt file containing a number of
short free-form records which I want to print on sheets of Avery
labels. Each record has a tag to mark its beginning, as well as some
tags which represent internal formatting. With WordPerfect, I simply
wrote a macro which set the paper type to be the appropriate Avery
labels, inserted the text file, then went through the file to add the
formatting where needed and to insert a manual page break (i.e. label
break) between records. After the macro finished, I could go through
manually and reformat any individual records which were too big for
the labels.

I've tried to re-create this in Writer by selecting labels, picking
the type of Avery sheet I want, then clicking New Document. This
gets me a blank page with the outline of the labels on it, but when I
insert my file, it tries to put the entire file on the first label
rather than running the text from label to label in a sensible
manner. Since I typically print 125-150 labels per run, I don't look
forward to cut-and-pasting them individually from the text file!

I thought about trying to do something with multi-column layout and
simply print the text file onto the label sheets, but without being
able to see the layout of the labels, I can't ensure that the breaks
will align or if I need to manually reformat some records.

Is there another angle from which I should be approaching this
problem? All the examples I can find with labels focus on drawing
information from databases and dealing with fixed-field data. I could
fairly easily reprogram the tags to be XML style if that would gain
me anything.

Re: [users] Uninstall Open Office

Good Morning,  

 I have searched the FAQs to find an answer in regards to uninstalling Open Office that suites my situation, but I've come up empty handed. The result of the searches indicate that I may have QuickStarter open and that may prevent me from uninstalling, but my Quickstarter isn't in the systems tray. I also found that it was recommended to use the usual method and to go to the Add/Remove programs option and uninstall as you would any program. Open Office doesn't apprear in the Add/Remove generated by that option. Lastly I found a recomendation to reinstall Open Office and utilize the uninstall option that comes up in the instalation process. To date, I have had no success uninstalling this program, can you be of assistance please? 

Over the years that OO has been on my PC it has rarely been used and I'm in the process of cleaning up un-used programs,other than that I've found no problems with the Office program. 
  

i assuming you're using windows.
maybe openoffice installed by other user account, try to login with

You don't have to pay for OpenOffice. It's a free download from

 Hi I am at a loss, is there a very new learners page, which explains
 it in really very simple terms, at least in the beginning, I hope so.
 Need a simplified learners page that explains details and shows how
 this is to be done in a very simplified manner, can you help me
 please.
 Jackie ONeil

Your message isn't very clear about what it is you wish to learn.

I am assuming you have obtained (by downloading or on CD) and installed
OOo (OpenOffice.org). If not, then go to this page:
http://download.openoffice.org/common/instructions.html

The OOo package includes several office type programs. To get an
overview about each of the programs and what they do take a look at this
page: http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html
If you have not used this type of software before, you would probably
want to start with Writer the word processor for creating and editing
documents (eg. letters, books etc).

I am not sure about an absolute beginners guide, but you will find a lot
of information on the following page:
http://support.openoffice.org/index.html - provides links to a number of
learning resources and tutorials. Here are some links from that page
that may help get you started:

http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html - click the PDF
link next to http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html;.

http://documentation.openoffice.org/tutorials/index.html - click the
PDF link next to OpenOffice.org Writer tutorial.

http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org  and http://inpics.net
These look like good resources for someone using OOo for the first time.

There is a wealth of information on and linked from the OOo website, but
if you get stuck you can always post back to this list for assistance.

Hope this helps.

Dave

On the other hand, if you're talking about a table in Writer, it can be 
done there, too. If you click in the cell where you want the sum and 
type =, a formula bar will appear near the top of the window. One of the 
buttons is labeled with something that looks like a fancy f(x). Click 
and drag down from that; it will show a list of available functions, the 
first of which is SUM. When the cursor is there, drop it. Now click and 
drag across the range of table cells you want to add. When they're all 
selected, drop. You should now have something showing in the formula bar 
and in the table cell that looks something like =sumA1:A5 (in this 
case, summing the first five cells of the first column of the table). 
Press Enter, and the formula will be replaced in the table by the 
calculated sum.


The formulas themselves work just like what Brian was describing for 
Calc. You can type all kinds of them directly into the formula bar, if 
you have something more complicated than a simple range. For instance, 
you can start with the = in your result cell, click a cell, type +, 
click another cell, and so on until all the things you want to add are 
in the formula, then Press Enter and the sum will be calculated. A 
surprising amount of power here, isn't there?

[users] Linux installation oddity

2007-08-26 Thread Ian Stephen
Hi all

This evening I downloaded OOo to a Mandriva 2005LE machine.
Moved the .tar.gz to /opt
Unpacked with 'tar -zxvf ./whateveritwas.tar.gz'
Went into the RPMS directory and as root ran rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Went into the desktop-integration directory and did the same rpm options with 
the mandriva rpm.
Tried to start OOo as a regular user from KDE menus and it failed to start.
Tried to start OOo as regular user from Konsole and it failed to start with 
errors saying no such files for /etc/openoffice.org2.2/program/soffice and 
one other file that I forget.

When I had installed the rpms a directory 'openoffice.org2.2' had been created 
in /opt so I moved that to /etc and all seemed to work after.

I've never seen OOo fail to start like that before.  Anyone else seen that 
behaviour?
