In the odg you can use the context menu (click with right mouse button 
on the box, when it is not yet selected) and choose font from there.


You might also want to have a look at all the things you can do with

choose edit and off you go.

Hello Michal,

I do not think it is possible. You can of course insert each formula as
objects (and suffer a bit to keep them aligned with the text around).

A horrible workaround is to take a snapshot of the screen and paste the text
+ formulae as an image :-)


I seem to remember an issue raised about it. If I have time to find the
number I will let you know: the more votes it gets the more the likelihood
that developers will consider it.

the second document seems to "inherit" the autocompletion (?) list

The Help text for AutoComplete seemed to refer
only to autocompletion in dialogs.


That's a relatively easy one, Kenn.

Go to Tools-Autocorrect-Word Completion and you will see the list of 
words you have collected. It is even sensible enough to realise that if 
you click on one word, you are likely to still want to delete it if you 
select another as well. In other words no need for the old Ctrl-Click to 
select multiple words for deletion.


You will also see a check box on that page which allows you to "When 
closing a document save the list for later use in other documents." This 
may explain the behaviour you see.


Unfortunately, if you open the help system, it will also populate the 
list with words from the help file, which can be a nuisance.

The "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE" is almost certainly from some badly
designed web form: "badly" in the sense that it doesn't refuse to send
the message if the subject warning wasn't replaced.

I confirm that I started years ago to automatically delete all the
messages and replies with these kind of subjects, on all the lists I
follow, I am sure that many others do the same and heartily recommend
that everybody does the same, exactly for the reason that you mention:

> whereas they would be *so* much more likely to get a proper and
> useful answer if they instead bothered to summarize details such as

life is too short and mosts lists far too busy to open 30 messages
every day just to figure out to which ones you _may_ give a useful
answer. Proper subject lines aren't even netiquette, they should be
given in the poster's self interest.

With respect to J. Hartley's answer:

> As far as wishing some of these people would provide a useful

I'll just add that answering all these messages keeping the subject as
is, or not answering ONLY with a (possibly automated) formal and kind
version of "nobody will be able to help you if you don't describe your
problem in the subject line" doesn't "help them as much as possible".
It just perpetuates the problem.

If a total email novice sends a subject-less message to a list, and
the "experts" send, instead of the above reminder off list, plenty of
useful information well hidden under "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE",
who is to blame more? The unaware newbie who is left in his ignorance
about how to get more online help, faster?  Is it the original
messages or the replies which make searches in the archives less
effective? If you hide, say, a perfect explanation of how to do
numbered list under "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE", are you helping
yourself and the other volunteers, or are part of the reason why other
newbies come asking the very same question the day after?  They could
have noticed the thread and just read it.

[users] Word Replacement has stopped working

[jimw wagner]

I'm using the Official version of OpenOffice_2.2 on Ubuntu 7.04.

One of the things I've used to make my writing go faster was to use the 
Replacement table.  For instance, if I found my self using the name 
'Alexander' frequently, I would set it up so that if I put in ale*, it 
would spell out Alexander.


In the last few days, this function has stopped working.

When I checked the Help Menu, it says that to enable this, I have to 
have checked 'Format While Typing.'


Unfortunately, If I check "Format While Typing," Every time I hit the 
Enter key, I lose all the formatting of the piece I have just typed, 
including the font.


The only unusual things I have been doing recently is reformatting some 
pieces of writing I did before OpenOffice was around.


This destruction of Formatting carries on, though, even when I go back 
to a piece that I've been working on for months, since before I did the 
reformatting.


Any suggestions?

It is okay to give OpenOffice.org to any one you want.

If you want to see with your own eyes look for the LGPL on your 
computer. The LGPL is the license that OpenOffice.org is governed 
by and it is some where on your computer if you have OpenOffice.org 
installed. look in your folder where OpenOffice.org is installed. 
you will find the file. The file is easy to read and understand. It 
is not in all that legal garbage.

I'm using version 2.0 of openoffice.org.  I made many pages of odg files 
which had at least fifteen text blocks on each page.  Each text block 
had a different saying with different fonts and colors.  Lots of work.  
My intention was to be able to click on each block and see what font I 
had used (it's for a vinyl lettering business).  I saved or exported 
them into a jpg file for upload on the net making sure I kept an odg 
file as well.  To my frustration I can't click on each box to make 
changes or find the font that I used.  What have I done wrong?  I don't 
want to have the same thing happen again.  It was working great as I 
worked on each page before.

Re: [users] [LIST Q] Why "moderated" and ***please enter a useful subject folks***!!!

[Jim Hartley]

I believe that "moderated" means that the poster has not subscribed to 
the mail-list, and therefore those postings have to be sent to a real 
live person (a moderator) to be approved before the post can appear on 
the list. There have been some debates as to whether subscribing should 
be REQUIRED before posting, but at the moment it is not required by the 
list rules.


As far as wishing some of these people would provide a useful subject 
line, yes! But many just don't know any better, they've never used a 
mailing list before, and never worried about the subject line on e-mails 
to Aunt Minnie. All you can do is try to help them as much as possible.

Actually you sent an email to this list (there is no official OOo
support), and as pointed out to you in your previous post (I am using
version 2.3 OpenOffice) your attachment opened just find on OOo 2.3
(linux & windows). You were advised to reinstall OOo 2.3 as it appeared
as if something in your install was not proper.

There are no macros in the document (I've also opened it in Excel as
well), and there is no "Microsoft Excel 2007 Macro Enabled Template
Microsoft Excel 2007 template" message in OOo 2.3.

Do you also have MS Office 2007 installed on your system? If so it
sounds as if perhaps your registry is messed up and when you tried to
open the xlt MS, or an AntiVirus program tried to take over. I'd bet
it's the latter.

Can you please provide some details about your system?

1. What operating system (Windows XP, Vista, etc)
2. What Antivirus programs do you have running on the system?
3. Do you have MS Office installed?

I recommend that you use MS's cleanup utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
then:
- Disconnect from the internet,
- turn off your Antivirus program,
- reinstall OOo 2.3,
- verify OOo 2.3 is working,
- turn your AV program back on (reboot if necessary),
- verify that OOo 2.3 is working, and if so reconnect to the internet.

Re: [users] saving path issue

[Jim Hartley]

My guess is that the place you are trying to store has NO subdirectories 
in it, and NO other files of type ".odg". I get the same thing when 
doing a "Save As" from Writer. **ONLY** files of whatever type is 
currently selected (and subdirectories) are displayed. Reduces the 
clutter on the display. If you change the "Save as type" selection the 
display will change to show files of the new type.


OK, it's not the same thing M$ does, it's called an IMPROVEMENT!

Re: [users] I am using version 2.3 OpenOffice

[Per]

Hi.

I´m running OO.o 2.2, so I don´t have your problems. The file opens up 
fine in 2.2, but that´s no news.  :-)


Is the file containing macros ? You should look at the security settings 
for macros, perhaps that could help.  :-\


Anybody else who have a solution ?

 How do I resolve this as the work on my laptop is important I can't

Re: [users] creating a copyright

[Jim Hartley]

Sounds like what you want is an Image Editor, like The GIMP or (who can 
afford it!?!) Photoshop. In THE GIMP I can create an image with 
transparent background ands semi-transparent lettering, any font I can 
use in OO should also work in The GIMP, then paste the label on the 
picture (I assume JPEG's, GIF's, PNG's or similar?).


The GIMP is available for Linux, Windoze, and probably others, and can 
be downloaded for exactly the same low bargain price as OpenOffice.

You don't delete page breaks--they don'e appear in the text flow, so 
there is nothing to delete. They are part of the paragraph formatting. 
Check the paragraph before the page break (above the table as it would 
seem), on the "Text Flow" tab. Uncheck "insert break".

You do not need a page break, although that is often the right way to go.

Each page style has a "Next Style" setting (look on the Organizer tab). 
The next style will take over automatically on the following page.


So you simply set the page style on the first page to "First Page"; the 
standard definition of that style has "Default" as the "Next Style" 
setting. Change the "Default" page style definition to include a header 
or footer and all pages following the first will have your header/footer.


The only hitch with this is that it won't carry over if you export to 
.doc format.

[users] Page styles! Help!

[John Jason Jordan]

I have a problem with a paper that is due tomorrow. There is a table
that starts after the first paragraph on the first page and spans to
the end of page 3. I need to set the page style for the first page to
First Page so it won't have a page number. All the remaining pages need
a page number in a header. I believe the way you are supposed to do
this is to enter a break at the end of the first page, and in the
Insert Break dialog box stipulate the style for the next page. That
would be fne, but how can I insert a break when the table spans the
first three pages? I put the cursor in the last cell on page 1, did
Insert > Manual Break (stipulating the style for the following pages)
and it happily inserted a break, but it inserted it at the beginning of
the table. So now I have one lone paragraph at the top of page 1, and
the table starts at the top of page 2 and ends in the middle of page 4.

The only way to get the table properly formatted is to delete the
break. Can someone tell me how to set no page number on the first page
without entering a break at the end of the first page?

It's not clear to me specifically what you are looking for in the result. 
I don't quite understand the difference between "the actual negative sum" 
and "the sum of the negative numbers". Maybe if you including some actual

[users] Complex Tables

[John J Bayly]

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to find that tables such as those in
the attachments do not reproduce legibly in Writer, which otherwise I very
much like so far.
 
It has been one of my habits over some years to exploit the possibilities of
tables in MsWord, sometimes adding to  them with Draw as in the VowelMouth
document -- one of that program's attractive features. But as my pocket is
shallower than it used to be, I was hoping that I could use Writer to edit
such files simply. If I can't I'm just going to have to stick with Microsoft
-- pity!
 
But congratulations on a versatile family of programs. I'm going to try
editing some of my most important docs on Writer. At 79, I'm not too old to
learn!

I couldn't do that. That icon didn't "respond". The previous selected icon
was still selected.

Then select the menu item View->Refresh Tables.

I restarted Base a few times with no better result than before.  I guess I
have to do some more experiments to see what  really happen. At least I know
now what SHOULD happen...

[users] orphan files

[Lloyd Friedrick]

I installed Version 2.3 last week on my XP system last week.
While doing some housecleaning in mt C:\ files this morning, I noticed the 
following files yhat appear to be orphans left over from my Version 1.2 

What is the purpose of these files ? I cannot find similar files in my Program 
2.3
Should I simply delete them ?

[users] Bullets & Numbering - Howto change displayed bullets

[Alan Boba]

Platoform...
OOo v 2.3.0
Windows XP Pro SP2

In Writer the Bullets tab of the Bullets and Numbering dialog displays eight
bullet types that I cannot find a way to change.

For example if the right arrow is chosen (2nd row, first choice) there
appears to be no way to substitute, say, an unfilled box character as the
bullet type displayed there.

I have found how to select an alternate bullet via the options tab. What I
am seeking is a way make the selected alternate bullet appear as a choice on
the Bullets tab.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Yes. That works fine.

NB The language pack is 2.3.0rc3: for lack of QA there is not a final release 
version, but 2.3.0rc3 *IS* 2.3.0.

the Writer Guide, the Getting Started Guide, and perhaps the Migration

Surely that is the US English version?  And the OP specifically asked about 
the UK version.  It is available at, e.g.:
 
http://openoffice.virginmedia.com/localized/en-GB/

But it is 2.0.1, not 2.3.

Re: [users] spreadsheet

[Richard Detwiler]

Ralph: Please respond only to the list (users@openoffice.org), not to me 
directly. That way, others can also help if needed.


In this case, it sounds like the solution is simple, if I understand 
things. You don't want to do a "SUMIF". You just want a simple "SUM". So 
it would be =SUM(B5:D5)


It's not clear why you originally wrote the formula using the SUMIF 
function, but maybe there's still something I'm missing.


mat1500 wrote:

Richard,

Sorry I didn't make myself clearer.  b5=2 c5=-9 d5=2  The sum is<0 so 
the sum I expect is -5.  The formula =sumif(b5:d5;"<0";(b5:d5) gives 
the answer -9 which is the sum of the negative numbers.  I would like 
the answer to be -5.  How do I change the formula?  Any help greatly 
appreciated.  I will also send this answer to users in hopes of an 
answer.


Thank you greatly for your answer.

It's not clear to me specifically what you are looking for in the 
result. I don't quite understand the difference between "the actual 
negative sum" and "the sum of the negative numbers". Maybe if you 
including some actual numerical examples, I and others could help you 
figure out what formula would do what you're after.

Yes.  In the Bullets and Numbering dialogue (whilst creating the 
numbering - or using Format | Bullets and Numbering... or right-click 
| Numbering/Bullets...), select the Position tab.  Tinker with the 
spacing options there.  (Persevere: you may not find them intuitive.)



And, is there a way for us to customize the numbers themselves?


Yes.  Go to the Options tab of the same dialogue.

I trust this helps.

No it won't if OO.o doesn't find any current dictionary, the result
is just as the OP describes. A new dictionary must be downloaded via the

I answered your question before, when you first asked.

Here is the answer, for a second time:

Here are a bunch of OpenOffice label templates for pretty much every common
label size, and a lot of uncommon ones too:

http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/openoffice-template.htm

As far as Exceed goes, that is a commercial software package from Hummingbird
Software.  I recommend that you look at Cygwin for similar functionality.

Cygwin/X can be found here: http://x.cygwin.com/

If you need Exceed, Cygwin/X can very possibly do what you need.  And it is
Free Software.
