[users] Exporting one particular Calc chart to PDF
I needed to export one chart from a Calc spreadsheet to PDF to include in a LaTeX document. I thought I would just select the chart and click on the Export as PDF. Unfortunately this doesn't work. BTW at the bottom of the Export as PDF window there is selection box but I cannot manage to select this box... Since apparently there is no easy way to export a particular chart to a graphic format (jpeg, gif, pdf, etc.) I looked around and found a macro that export all charts of a calc spreadsheet to EPS. See the code snippet in http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=60155 This is not exactly what I want, but at least with some postprocessing I can get my particular chart as a single file. - Is there definitely to simpler way to export one chart and store it into a file by itself? - How would you modify this macro so as to get PDF files instead of EPS? -- René -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Exporting-one-particular-Calc-chart-to-PDF-tf4340691.html#a12364823 Sent from the openoffice - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] Setting colors for conditional number-format
Hello, I have a writer document with several tables in it. Some parts of these tables have conditional style markup applied to them via the number-format, as explained by the OOo help. For example, I want things below -10% to be red and things above 10% to be green, so I set the following number-format: [-0.1][RED]0%;[0.1][GREEN]0%;[BLACK]0% My problem is that the [GREEN] is the very bright, light green that is unreadable on a white background. The OOo help only defines a few color names, namely CYAN, GREEN, BLACK, BLUE, MAGENTA, RED, WHITE and YELLOW. Is there a way to define new colors, or use RBG syntax in the number-format to get a darker green? -- Sander Marechal Product Developer Tribal Internet Marketing Internet MARKeting van Werven - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] Newbie looking for Wordperfect Functionality
Hello, I am new to Open Office and was looking for two functions that I know that exist in Wordperfect. 1- WP has a Monthly Calendar tool, that you can set the starting month/year and how many months to display. Then it create a monthly calendar for that duration. I had a quick look in OOo, but didn't see anything of that sort. Is it available? is so where, or is it in the works? 2- I do mail merges to create labels for my student note books. I was wondering if OOo supported the merge format files from WP?

[users] macros: a suggestion and a question
A suggestion: Many years ago I used Wordperfect, and the macro system was simple enough for even an incompetent like me to master. Once you had recorded the relevant keystrokes, you simply assigned it to a keyboard combination. Period. In Open Office one has to go through a long rigmarole (which I still have not completely gotten the hang of) to accomplish this rather obvious task. (I write it out below as best I can) I suspect I am not the only user who finds it too daunting, and, as a result, doesn't bother to use simple, everyday macros; which is a shame, no ? Here is the suggestion: add one more item to the macro recording button: something like assign keyboard combination. When you hit this item, it will ask you to name the macro you have just recorded, and then it will offer to index it for you with a keyboard combination. Perhaps the default would be Control-Alt- plus the first letter of the name, since the Conrol-Alt combination doesn't seem to be used in the normal run of things, and if this default is already in use, the program will suggest another. This keyboard combination will then be available in any Open Office program, or, if that is not possible, for some technical reason, in any document in the program you are currently in when you record it. At the same time, the program would add this name to a special macro toolbar, where the names and the keyboard combinations would be listed. This toolbar could be turned on in the View menu, like any other toolbar. (If there is some reason why this suggestion is impractical, then would it be possible for some clever user to devise a macro which one could copy and use to perform the existing macro routine, running about from menu to menu, to perform the same task ? ) Finally, if none of the above can be done, would it be possible to rewrite the Help section on assigning macros so that it is easier to cope with ? A question: in Open Office Draw, the macro recording feature is turned off (no doubt for good reasons, of which I am unaware). It does, however, allow one to play a macro, or at least it claims to. My question: Where must the macro you wish to use in a Draw program be stored in order for Draw to recognize it ? Can one, for example, record a macro in Writer and use it in Draw ? yours, Richard Stack PS This is the current routine for someone who simply wants to record a macro and assign it a keyboard combination: Once you hit stop recording you are taken to a mysterious page where you are asked to name the macro (though you need to obey the naming rules, whatever they may be) and then you are confronted with a mystifying array of libraries and modules and so forth. Once you have named the macro, the page simply turns off without further ado. Then, hoping to be allowed to assign it a keyboard combination, one goes back to Macros, on the Tools menu. But that is wrong, it turns out. For instead of going to the organize macros tab under Macros, as one might not unreasonably expect, one should have gone to a quite different page on the Tools menu: Customize. Once there, it is not at all clear what to do next. It turns out that you need to hit Keyboard and then scroll all the way down a long list at the bottom left until you hit Open Office and then scroll to the right to be able to read its full name: Open Office Macros. You then click this item four times in order to open to the list where you saved the macro earlier. You then go up to the main menu of keyboard combinations and scroll down through them until you find one you like. You click it and the mystifying instruction Modify appears on the right. You are supposed to know that you should click this. Then you have various options, such as Save and Reset which you are supposed to avoid, instead choosing OK. At this point, the keyboard combination will work, but you have no readily available record of what it is and what it is called without going through yet another series of steps again.

This is a fudge because of course then if you want to use captions you have to manually change the text from white to black. Just a thought though. Nice idea. I like this one. I do use captions, but I have defined custom caption styles for my tables. I am going to experiment a little to see if I can use AutoCaption to automatically add invisible captions below the tables and still use my custom captions above the same tables. If I can do this without losing too much of the caption functionality (automatically generated and numbered lists of tables etc.) I will go this road. Thanks for thinking with me. Much appreciated.

Re: [users] Setting default paper size.
Ewing Caldwell wrote: I have seen some questions on this list (much) earlier about how to set the default paper size for OpenOffice, from US Letter to A4. I too had a problem with this, as my country's paper standard is A4, too. While the proffered solutions of setting the paper size in document templates is not strictly wrong, it is tedious, as you have to do it in every template you use. It does not address the issue of having Openoffice always default to the correct page size. As I had not seen a response directly meeting this need, I went looking. There is a config file in Openoffice.org's installation directory called psprint.conf. For my installation (yours will probably differ), it's in /opt/openeoffice-2.2/ share/psprint (If you don't know where it is in your installation, you could try the following command in a terminal window: find /opt /usr -name psprint.conf -print which should print its whereabouts for you.) It is a read-only file so check its ownership (ls -l psprint.conf - it should be root-user), switch to that user and make it writable: su + root's password followed by chmod u+w psprint.conf. or sudo chmod u+w psprint.conf. Open the file with a text editor and look for the line: ; PPD_PageSize=A4 Remove the semi-colon (comment character) at the start of the line and save the file. Change the permissions to make it read-only again (chmod u-w psprint.conf). Your default page size is now (and will be until your next upgrade :-), A4. Hope this helps all those A4 users trapped with US Letter. As far as I know, on Windows the page size and orientation are properties of the *printer* which, by default, are honoured by well behaved applications of which OpenOffice is one. However, they can be altered within an application for an individual document or, via templates or similar, for a set of documents. Is the same not true of *nix? Of Macs? I use the normal (US) Windows version of OpenOffice but I never had to tell it that my printer uses A4 paper. I only need to say something if I want to print in landscape or on envelopes or whatever. After printing a non-standard document and then closing it, OpenOffice will revert to A4 portrait unless I say otherwise. Of course, the page size etc. that you use when you print a document are saved with the document so OpenOffice will remember non-standard documents. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Finally, if none of the above can be done, would it be possible to rewrite the Help section on assigning macros so that it is easier to cope with ? Yes. A question: in Open Office Draw, the macro recording feature is turned off (no doubt for good reasons, of which I am unaware). It does, however, allow one to play a macro, or at least it claims to. The infrastructure that allowed recording macros was removed from Draw and Impress. My question: Where must the macro you wish to use in a Draw program be stored in order for Draw to recognize it ? Can one, for example, record a macro in Writer and use it in Draw ? Yes you can, but a recorded macro uses dispatches and a dispatch recorded in Writer may not be available in Draw. Once you hit stop recording you are taken to a mysterious page where you are asked to name the macro (though you need to obey the naming rules, whatever they may be) and then you are confronted with a mystifying array of libraries and modules and so forth.

Donna's daughter does not need to save in one of the .doc formats - she has saved her file in ISO26300 format, which OpenOffice has, sensibly, made its default. Microsoft's failure to support this international standard is a failing of Microsoft not a failing of OpenOffice; the best option for Donna is to also install OpenOffice, the Sun plugin for MS Office, use Google Docs or some other application that supports standards. Why didn't you provide a link to this Sun plugin? Or, was it because you were to caught up in going off on what I said? I was not aware of this plugin as most people on this list probably aren't either and most MS Office users probably don't know about it and aren't going to go to the trouble to find such a plugin. I found a download link for a plugin: https://sdlc5a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=F5405FFD131FB17166FE7F3995E6F2CC If you have a better location share it. -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
