I use ms access a lot but want to move over to open office (for use with
linux),  the problem is that with ms accass you can modify the reports to
look how you want (I use access reports for a Job in form) but with your
software it will give reports out only in table format (which is ok for
accounts but not for I want to use it for), giving the customer the 
ability
to change the report and moving fields and other thing (full control) 
would

be a great advantage. Thank you

 Derek

 PS.. I Use office 2.1 but tried 2.4 as well

 Please help thanks

 Hello! I'm using the Impress program to create a slide show. When it

In general, yes. However, be aware that the PowerPoint format is kept secret
by Microsoft so any software like OpenOffice can only make guesses at how
some things work. You should check that your presentation looks OK in
PowerPoint, especially if it's an important presentation. One way to check
the appearance of your slides, if you don't have access to a system with
PowerPoint installed, is to download the *free* Microsoft PowerPoint viewer.
You can get it at http://tinyurl.com/6b6g5

To save in PowerPoint format go to FileSave As and choose the relevant
file type from the list of those available. You probably want Microsoft
PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt). Before you click Save, make sure the little
box labelled Automatic file name extension is checked.

Oh, OpenOffice cannot save to the new Microsoft Office 2007 format. Only
Microsoft Office can do that at the moment. The developers of OpenOffice are
working on it ...

All you should have to do to save in MS Word format is select File  
Save As and from the File Type drop down, pick Microsoft Word 
97/2000/XP.  Then your document is saved in Micorsoft Office format.


You can also set an option so that OpenOffice.org always saves in MS 
Office format (and then you don't need to do a Save As to get an Office 
compatible document).

  - Click Tools  Options
  - Click the + next to Load/Save to open that menu
  - Click on General
  - Find the section labeled Default file format.
There are 2 drop down boxes here.  You can select each document type and 
set the default file format.  So for example to set Writer to always 
save in MS Word format, select Text document on the left drop down box, 
and select Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP on the right box.


If you do this, then you don't need to remember to explicitly save your 
docs in MS Office format.


I hope this helps, and you give OpenOffice.org a second chance.

Lisbet, somehow you seem to have subscribed to an automated email list 
which provides support for the openoffice software.

There is no point in asking people on this list (such as me) to remove 
you - we cannot, because we are all users like yourself.  You can 
however remove yourself from the list.

Please follow the instructions at the foot of any of the emails you 
receive, and send a blank email to:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will send you one further email, to which you need to reply in 
order to complete the process.


You need to do all this using your email address which is receiving the

Joanne,

I would first uninstall the 1.0 version you have. The latest version is 2.3.
If you had an earlier 2.x version then this new version would just upgrade
it but that's not true  with an old 1.x version.

You get the new version, *free* :-) from www.openoffice.org   Press the big
green Get OpenOffice.org button. On the page you get is another green
button that will let you choose the version for your Operating System -
Windows I think. However, before doing that, click the Installation
Instructions link on the right hand side of the page. The page you get
talks about version 2.0 but that's just because someone has either forgotten
or hasn't had time to change it to 2.3; in any case, the instructions are
the same. Print the instructions so you can have them by you as you install
the software.

OpenOffice doesn't ask for product keys. 25-character keys sound like
Microsoft.

During the installation you will be asked if you want to make OpenOffice the
default program for handling Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents. As you
don't have those installed, say yes.

OpenOffice can properly handle *most* Microsoft documents - Word,
PowerPoint, Excel. It cannot currently handle the very newest (Microsoft
Office 2007) formats. I think that's due to happen in version 3.

Once installation has finished you will be asked to register. This is
*optional*. You lose nothing if you don't do it - just say never register.
I'm not sure what you gain if you do register - possibly automatic
notification when a new version becomes available. However, the developers
of OpenOffice get details of the number of users and where they are. You
will not get spam e-mails and they won't pass your details on.

As I said, support is free via this e-mail list. We are all users of
OpenOffice, from around the world, who volunteer our time. Be aware that,
because it's an e-mail list, anything you say becomes public and available
to thousands of people. You might therefore decide not to include personal
details such as phone numbers, postal addresses etc. And especially not
passwords, account numbers and so on.

If you have any problems uninstalling the old or installing the new version,
come back to this list with details of what you did and especially the exact
text of any error messages you got.

Good luck!

Re: [users] install free version of Open Office

2007-11-21 Thread ccornell - OpenOffice.org
Hello Mr. Fuchs , Thank you for the info, you are the only person I ask 

 about this that told me all the versions are free including the help 
 support. I was told by a help person to download the 1.0  it was free.

OpenOffice.org is definitely free for you to download.  It is free now, 
and will always be free.  You get the full version, bit some trial 
version.  You never have to pay for it.  Support from all the volunteers 
is also free here on this mailing list.


Go to http://www.openoffice.org to download the latest version.


 When I first went into Open Office their page seemed to ask for a code
 number which is supposed to be on the CD disk I purchased, of course
 I hadn't purchased any  the cost was somewhere in the $300.00 dollar
 range,hense my asking about a free download.

I have a feeling you didn't land on the right page then.  Use the link 
above, and that will take you to the right place.


 I couldn't afford that. As I stated before, I did download, but couldn't
 figure how to install.

Installation should be fairly easy.  I assume you are running Windows, 
so find the executable file you downloaded from 
http://www.openoffice.org and double click on it.  This will start the 
installer and all you should have to do is read the instructions and 
click Next.  The installer will unpack the files and then lead you 
through installing OpenOffice.



If I go to the homepage for this application  

 start over to download  install, should I FIRST uninstall the version
 I now have before doing over?

You can do that.  It will ensure you have a clean start.


 The reason I wnted this is because I 

 was told that using Open Office would allow me to open some email
 attachments that I get  that are sent using Open Office Or a PPS.file
 ( power Point ) attachment.

OpenOffice.org can open doc, xls, pps, ppt files.

It will not work yet for the latest Office formats, but that is the case 
for everyone.  The documents created by the newest version of MS Office 
are currently incompatible with everything including older versions of 
MS Office.  Version 3.0 of OpenOffice.org will support the new MS Office 
formats.




If I try to open an attachment using thoes
 programs, I get the pop up screen that asks for my Administrative Rights

  wants 25 character product keycode from back of cd.

This sounds like you are using MS Vista, and have the Trial version of 
the new MS Office installed.  If you use this trial version of Office, 
it expires after a fixed period and you have to pay a lot of money to 
get the license key to get back into your documents.


This will never happen with OpenOffice.org.

MS Office and OpenOffice.org are not the same program.  They are similar 
programs that do the same kinda of jobs.  You can use either to write 
documents, build spreadsheets, create presentations, build databases, 
draw things etc., but... the Microsoft one will cost you a fair bit of 
money to buy a legal version.  OpenOffice.org is free for the legal 
version, and can work with MS Office format documents.


You might find this documentation useful with getting started with 
OpenOffice.org:

[users] Switching to OO.o from lotus Aproach

2007-11-21 Thread Ian Coetzee

Hi all

My company have been using Lotus Approach for a long time now. The boss 
asked me recently to check out OO.o Base for the same functionality. I 
came across a little question.


Is there anyway that you can create a filter and then use the report or 
form functions to use only the filtered data instead of the whole 
database. I have been playing around with the data sources option, 
without any luck.


I know that you can get the same results by using a query, but to teach 
the users to use it will be a nightmare.


The reason we are trying to switch over is because Approach gets very 
unstable at using mysql as a database engine.


I am currently testing it out on OO.o 2.3 and I loaded the SRB extension 
to see if that makes a difference also without much luck.


Let me know if the details is a little bit sketchy so I can try and 
clear it up a bit more.


Thanks in advance

Hopefully you will be able to uninstall this trial version without having to

I assume you're running Windows. After you download the file, you have
to double click on it, to start the installation. There will be
several panels appearing, where you can generally select the defaults.
After the installation has been completed, you should find an
OpenOffice folder in your start menu, which contains some icons, for

There is no connection between OpenOffice and Microsoft office. If you
downloaded OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org, there should be no
request for a keycode. When you install many applications in Windows,
you require administrative rights. Normally, this situation occurs in
a corporate environment, where normal users do not have those rights.
Most home users run with full administrator rights, even though that is
a bad idea. If you are installing OpenOffice at work and are asked for
the administrator password, you'll have to ask your IT guy for
assistance.

While you can certainly delete OpenOffice if you want, why not let us
try to resolve your problem? OpenOffice, by default saves in the ISO
standard ODF formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. This means
you have to tell OpenOffice to save your documents in Word format. You
can do this whenever you save a file or even make it the default for
all documents. You might also want to make sure automatic file name
extension is enabled.

I love open source, and in my younger days as a former Assembler programmer would have had some contributions to make. Here's to Tim Berners-Lee and to hell with Bill Gates. 

I sometimes get messages from the newly empowered in Power Point format, I can't read them. If I make Open Office my default will I be better able to handle the various formats (don't really need the Power Point, don't need to talk to the arrogant who assume all can afford what they have). 

I guess my question is basic, should I forget the proprietary products and use Open Office - and what can I use it for?

  


OpenOffice is a full office suite, comparable to Microsoft Office and
even has a couple of features not included in Microsoft Office,
including a Draw program and PDF creation. It is also very compatible
with Microsoft Office. So, bottom line, you'd use it in place of
Word. You didn't mention what version you have, but the latest is
v2.3, available for free from www.openoffice.org

[users] Calc not recognizing European dates

2007-11-21 Thread Dotan Cohen
On Ubuntu Feisty I have OOo 2.2.0 installed. One of the columns of a
certain spreadsheet is a date column, and I have specified in Format
Cells - Numbers - Date the -MM-DD date format. However, OOo
fails to recognize dates such as 14-09-2006 as a valid date, while a
date such as 11-04-2006 (April 11th) is recognized and then converted
to 2006-11-04 (November 4th). This seems to be because OOo has the
days and months confused. How can I configure OOo to recognize
xx-xx- as DD-MM- instead of MM-DD-? This is my locale
info, if significant:
LANG=he_IL.utf8
LC_CTYPE=he_IL.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=he_IL.utf8
LC_TIME=he_IL.utf8
LC_COLLATE=he_IL.utf8
LC_MONETARY=he_IL.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=he_IL.utf8
LC_PAPER=he_IL.utf8
LC_NAME=he_IL.utf8
LC_ADDRESS=he_IL.utf8
LC_TELEPHONE=he_IL.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=he_IL.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=he_IL.utf8
LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Note that my KDE install is in Hebrew, however OOo is in English. It
is set to use the User Interface and Locale default, which in my
opinion should be Hebrew. Gnome (which I do not use) _may_ be set to
English. I cannot open Gnome however, due to a stupid fault of the ATI
proprietary drivers (long story). So configuring OOo to respect the
KDE defaults may solve this problem. How is that done?

Thanks in advance.

[users] ooffice cups-pdf from command line and output filename

2007-11-21 Thread Marcello Lupo

Hi to all,
i'm using ooffice from command line to print documents  
(doc,sxw,xls,etc...) directly in PDF using cups-pdf printer as default.


The command i use is :

ooffice -invisible -nologo -display :5 -headless -p filename.doc

On version 1.9 of ooffice installed on Suse 9.3 it is mantaining the  
output filename the same as input filename changing only the extension  
to

pdf .

Now on a new server on Trixbox (Centos) with ooffice 2.0.4 installed,  
the ooffice is changing the filename based on something that
is found in the document (probabily). On some files it keep the same  
output filename, in others (Microsoft Word Document for the most part)  
it change

the output filename to the first words it found in the document.

I need that the filename remain the same because i have to make some  
post processing (from command line) of these pdf files from the script  
that start the
conversion to pdf (using ooffice). So i have to know which filename  
will have the output file to catch it after the conversion.


There is a way to control this behavior??
I tested printing the same document on the 2 system and on the 2.0.4  
system it change the name and on 1.9 system it keep the original  
filename.


If there is no way to control this setting, there is a way to use the  
ExportDirectToPDF internal function of ooffice 2.x to export documents  
to PDF from

the command line being able to control the output filename?

Thanks in advance to all.
Bye,
Marcello

Folks please this is not a forum for flame wars. This is a place where
volunteers attempt to provide support to other OOo users in a generally
friendly supportive manner. Sometimes the volunteers don't get the
question. Sometimes the person asking the question frames it in a way that's
not readily understood. Last, computer configurations can vary significantly
from computer and many operations on a computer can be achieved in more than
one way so an answer might be applicable for the respondent but still not
work for the questioner.

If you want to flame there are probably appropriate forums for that. I just

[users] Opening same MSWord doc in OO on 2 different platforms

2007-11-21 Thread Graham Hodge

Dear OOo

I have an interesting problem I cannot figure out.  I have a fairly
sophisticated MS Word (.doc) document ( with lots of pictures, tables,
footnotes, annotated diagrams, etc. ) which I opened in OO 2.3.0 running on
XP.  It opened fine and 99% of the formatting was perfect.  I was very
impressed.

I am also running another box with Ubuntu Linux 7.10 and the same OO release
(2.3.0) except for the Linux platform.  It appears to run fine in every
respect.  However, when I opened the same word document on this machine, I
got significant format layout changes, mostly due to what appears to be
larger interline spacing causing about 20% more pages to appear with
corresponding flow-on formatting woes.  All the Page and Paragraph settings
are identical on both versions of OOo, so I am puzzled.

Can you please give me an idea what the problem might be ?

Happy to provide any further information that may be needed.

Kind regards

2007-11-21 Thread Bruce Korb
Long ago and far away, I vaguely remember that if I installed using
the root user, I would wind up with strange files in my home directory
that only the root could manipulate.  Since the install is now going
exclusively to /opt and /etc, I am completely certain that
the installation must, perforce, be done as root.  Further, there cannot
be any files that get installed that have to be modified by an OO user
because to do so would mean that only the root user could edit documents
on the system.  That is so inconceivable that I am sure it is not true.

Nevertheless, why does my OO lock up so tight it takes a kill -TERM
to end the process?

Thank you.  - Bruce

 grilling me for the same information all over again.  And it is locked up
 tight.  I'll probably have to blow away ~/.openoffice* again just to be able
 to view stuff again.
 
 So, I am happy with the thing on my SuSE installation.  On this Fedora
 platform, it's horse dung.  Surely others have had this problem?  To try
 to be sure it was not a dinkleberry problem, I had blown away
 my ~/.openoffice* directory and completely removed all vestiges of
 the prior installation.  Then I downloaded the 2.3 release and installed
 it with no strange options.  The recommended neophyte install.
 This should also be a fairly benign FC-5 installation also.  So, anyone
 else had similar problems?  :(
 
 Thanks! - Bruce

[users] Report a printer problem

2007-11-21 Thread Mike Shearer
I am using OpenOffice.org 2.3 in OS X 10.4.10.  All printing where 
default black would be normal is printing in light blue; the problem 
started several weeks ago after faultless operation since OO 
installation several menths ago.  The printer is a Canon i865 connected 
directly to the printer port.


I have tried to purge my system of OpenOffice and then re-installed in 
the hope that the problem would be resolved by a clean rerwrite of all 
control tables.  It didn't help.


I have tried all of the suggestions I can find in the Forums. None of 
them have made any difference.


The printer problem affects ONLY OO applications.  All other native 
applications, and MS Word X works perfectly.  OO documents saved as pdf 
files print perfectly.


The blue colour used in the printing is not included in the colour table.

If I select Augtomatic or Black from the colour table I get the light 
blue.  If I select any other colour it prints that colour correctly. 
The black in the colour table is correctly configured.


This issue raises these associated problems:
1.  getting help thru the forums and OpenOffice.org is extremely 
difficult.  The search facility seems to be very unsophisticated and 
matches search strings without regard to context
2.  finding out how to ask for help is very difficult.  I have gone 
around in circles and have no confidence that I'm addressing this to the 
correct destination.
3.  finding basic setup and configuration information for OO is 
impossible.  There must be a control parameter that is affecting my 
problem - but where it is has eluded me.  There appears to be no 
documentation giving details of where control values are held and how 
they can be verified etc.  All that exists are the various options panes 
 which after exhaustive and exhausting exp;loration no helpful 
information is found.



Please, tell me where to look for the solution to my printing problem, 
or where to find the file which contains the controlling parameters, or 
best of all, just tell me what is the fix.



thank you,

Mike A Shearer

[users] impossibile installare openoffice 2.3

2007-11-21 Thread Gianpaolo Venafro
Salve,
come sempre ho scaricato il file d'installazione di OO, operazione già
effettuata per le versioni precedenti.
Ho sempre scaricato la versione per windows, senza JRE.
Una volta estratti i file di installazione in una cartella sul desktop però,
il wizard da errore.
Viene richiesto infatti un file .msi di un'installazione precedendo, lo
stesso file viene richiesto anche per disinstallare OO.
Ho provato allora a scaricare la versione 2.2 speranzoso di poter trovare
nell'archivio il file richiesto per l'installazione, ma il wizard non va
avanti.

Sono impossibilitato anche a disinstallare OO.
Vi sarei grato se poteste aiutarmi.

I suspect that you don't have to wait three seconds if you hit the space

[users] help with filtering in database

2007-11-21 Thread Devin Renberg
Hi,

 

I setup a real estate database using open office. The database is based on a
phone survey of potential customers. One of the questions of the survey is
which neighborhoods do you want to live in?  the answers are in a list
drop down so you can select multiple neighborhoods in one cell for each
potential customer. So for example John Doe Might Say he would live in
Lincoln Park, Lakeview or Old Town. How do I filter so I look at all records
for just Old Town? All three neighborhoods have been selected from the list
and are located in one cell. When I try to do a filter of just Old Town no
records appear.  I think its because the filter is looking for cells that
just have Old Town not Old Town, Lincoln Park and Lakeview. So how do
specify the parameters so that it pulls records with more than one
neighborhood so long as it has Old Town in it?

 

Thanks for your help.

[users] Query re compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

2007-11-21 Thread Derrick Emerton
I have just downloaded Open Office on my new Apple Imac, which has the  
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system.  When I run Open Office, I get  
the Writer, but I can't find a way of running the other applications.


Is this because Leopard is not yet a compatible OS for Open Office?   
(I notice 10.5 Leopard isn't on the list of Mac OS's)


Incidentally, the little I have seen so far of Writer looks absolutely  
superb, especially to someone who has suffered so many Microsoft  
products over the years!  lol


I think the whole open source concept is an excellent idea, with so  
much to recommend it, so much power to your elbow!


Thanking you in anticipation,

Derrick Emerton

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


  First, why on earth did you pay for OpenOffice? It's completely free, as are 
all upgrades, from www.openoffice.org   I suppose that if you paid a nominal 
amount for a CD to avoid having to download it over a slow/unreliable/expensive 
internet connection then that's OK but otherwise ...

  To solve your problem, though should be easy: 
  In Windows, the extension (.doc, .wpd .html etc.) part of a file's name 
define that file's type. Windows decides what to do to open a particular 
*type* of file by consulting its [pseudo-]table of file associations. This 
table specifies which program to invoke to open each type of file. **Sorry if 
that was teaching my grandmother to suck eggs **. 

  So, I think you need to re-associate WordPerfect (.wpd ???) files with 
WordPerfect. One way to do this is as follows:
  1. *Right* click on one of your WordPerfect file and choose Open With... 
from the menu that pops up. 
  2. You will be presented with a list of programs. If WordPerfect is in that 
list, select (single click) it and go to step 4.
  3. If  WordPerfect is not in the list, click the Browse ... button and 
browse to the its executable in the directory into which you installed it 
(probably somewhere down the C:\Program Files\...  path). Once you've found it 
in the Browse... window, select it and click Open. You will be returned to 
the same position as you were at the end of #2 above. 
  4. Tick [check] the little box labelled something like Always use this 
program to open this kind of file.
  5. Click OK.

  Now, when you double click on a WordPerfect file Windows will invoke 
WordPerfect to open it and all should be sweetness and light.

installer/openclipart-0.18-win32.exe) seemed to be corrupted when I tried to 
run it and would not load any files.  Other than that, I see nothing to give me 
a clue.  Can you help me with this?

Thanks!!

I don't think it will overwrite the previous version if your previous version
is 1.x.  You can remove it with Add and Remove programs, though.

 Will my 1.1.4 based files open in 2.x?

Yes.

Dear Sirs,

OpenOffice is really better than MSoffice , So our company will change to use 
it now.

We have a problem and need your kindly help

We have a software name document management system , we use to manage the 
drawing or document from our customer.

In this system , when we import file of .doc .xls .ppt it will open the file 
and capture the first page for file icon , then we can see what kind of 
contents in this file for our reference before we open the file.

when we change to use OpenOffice , we do not know how to capture the first page 
to be a jpg file and how to close the file automaticlly.

Please kindly give us your help.

Best Regards

[users] small font in help function

2007-11-21 Thread Günter Boussery
Hi,

 

I’ve been using Open Office now and then and when I want to search for
assistance through the help function, the font size of the text in this
function is so terrible small that I just close this help function.

I apparently am not able to increase the font size. 

How do I increase this font size?

 

Further, in Excel I like using the right alignment with an indent – a table
looks so much better when a number isn’t glued to the border of the cell.
In Open office it is not possible to adjust the right alignment in a cell.
When will this be adjusted. I have just downloaded version 2.3 and still
this function is not there. 

 

Regards,

 

Günter Boussery

No.  Save your Microsoft documents as doc instead.

The users@openoffice.org mailing list is the place to ask questions.  And
you're here.

As to searching archives, I find that the site: parameter with Google works
well.  You do have to form your query carefully to avoid a lot of un-related
information, of course.

 2.  finding out how to ask for help is very difficult.  I have gone 
 around in circles and have no confidence that I'm addressing this to the 
 correct destination.

This is the place.

 3.  finding basic setup and configuration information for OO is 
 impossible.  There must be a control parameter that is affecting my 
 problem - but where it is has eluded me.  There appears to be no 
 documentation giving details of where control values are held and how 
 they can be verified etc.  All that exists are the various options panes 
   which after exhaustive and exhausting exp;loration no helpful 
 information is found.

Are you downloading from http://www.openoffice.org ?

 Can you help me get a file that works, cause I've used Open
 Office before and I'm very haappy with what it has to offer.

You can try using a download manager or you could order a CD from someone who
distributes it that way.

[users] Problems installing

2007-11-21 Thread Shaya
Hi

Whenever I try to install I get an errer that says that the installationfile
is corrupt. I've tried re-dowloading it, but I get the same problem. I have
checked my internet connection and there is no problem with it that may have
caused the file to be only partially downloaded or corrupt because of
interuptrions in the downloading process. Is there a problem with the file
on the webpage? Can you help me get a file that works, cause I've used Open
Office before and I'm very haappy with what it has to offer.

You don't.  OpenOffice is available only as the complete package.  Download
the latest version from http://www.openoffice.org and install it in the same way
that you installed version 2.2.
