In Excel I just write the name of the file, I search for it and It linked it with the given name. Is it possible to do so with Openoffice CALC?? You can do something very similar. o Select the spreadsheet cell. o Go to Insert | Hyperlink. o Select Document in the left panel. o Under Document in the right panel, press the folder icon (Open File) next to the Path window. o Browse to the required file. (Note that, if you do it this way, you don't need to type the path.) o Select Apply. The full text now appears in the Text window under Further settings. o Edit the contents of the Text window to show what you require in the cell itself - perhaps by just deleting the parts you don't need.

Hi I am in the process of downloading OpenOffice from the Virgin mirror, UK. Just a few Mbyte short of the full 158, the 'OOo 2.4.0 MacOSXIntel_install_en-US.dmg.download' file with a Safari-like icon tranformed itself into 'OOo 2.4.0 MacOSXIntel_install_en-US.dmg' with an image file icon.

Re: [users] no emacs keybindings in openoffice
Dear Harold, Thanks for your kind reply. If emacs uses the Alt or Alt Gr key then the simple answer is no because OOo can't use those keys. For a discussion, see http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=70103 That is too bad, becauce I use alt quite a lot in emacs, and find it very useful at that. Won't Word plus emacs bindings run under WINE? Would that save two reboots? Since I use windows so little (once a year at most) I didn't think of this. Of course you're right.

During the install process you can select not to install some modules, but this is not recommended, because you will loose some functionality and the saving on disk space is negligible.

However, that is not recommended, as it will not save much space and you may lose some function. Unlike Microsoft Office, OpenOffice is a fully integrated office suite, that brings many advantages over the ways things are done in Microsoft Office. It also means that much of the code is shared among the various components, so that only the component specific code is not installed, if you do a custom install. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. Provided you have space on your hard disk they can both live and work happily on the same system.

The default program is the one that Windows invokes when you double click on a file. You can answer yes or no *separately* for each of the three document types. Whichever is the default program for a type, you can alway open a document using the other by *right* clicking on it, choosing Open with ... and then either picking the program from the list offered or browsing to it in its installation folder (probably c:\program files\...). Also, you can change the default program for any type of file by changing its file association. See the Windows Help for details.

Nachdem ich die Akutalisierung der Verknüpfung mit Nein beantworte, geht es zügig. Also habe ich mir die Liste der Verknüpfugen mal angesehen. Sie war ellenlang. Die Tabelle, mein sogenanntes Tagesblatt liest aus einer Monatstabelle die dort enthaltenen Informationen Zeilen-(tages-)weise aus. Jede neue Zeile wird dann als Verknüpfung (pro Tag 10 Stück)im Tagesblatt gespeichert. Daraufhin habe ich also alle Verknüpfungen gelöscht. Sehr aufwendig, da nur einzeln möglich. Warum lassen sich nicht alle gleichzeitig markieren und entfernen? Gibt es eine andere Variante für diese Art der Verknüpfungen, die sich ja täglich ändern? Also alle Verknüpfungen waren entfernt und Tabelle gespeichert. Trotzdem dauerte es ewig, also deutlich länger als unter OOo 2.3.1, bis die Tabelle sich öffnete, weshalb ich die neue Version eben wieder gelöscht habe.

Sometimes can open, sometimes not - very odd. 2.4.0 3.0M6 open OK, but 3.0M6 is definitely slower in opening. Additionally, the document spacing is different between the two. Example: - page 20 in M6 shows 'Student' thru 'Afstudeer coördinator'. - Page 20 in 2.4.0 'maart t/m mei 2007 literatuurstudie' thru 'Student'. Both running on the same system, both are open at the same time using the same fonts. I'm not sure where the spacing problem comes from. I wonder if the problem on 2.3.1 SO8/9 and 2.4.0 (see below) are related to the fact that the document is basically a 21 page table. I also found that if I select the table in 2.4.0 and give it borders, I get a cpu overload (this is a 2.4Ghz/1GB system). I do not have the same problem with 3.0M6. So it appears to be a problem in the 2.x as you mentioned in your initial reply.

Both running on the same system, both are open at the same time using the same fonts. I'm not sure where the spacing problem comes from. I wonder if the problem on 2.3.1 SO8/9 and 2.4.0 (see below) are related to the fact that the document is basically a 21 page table. I also found that if I select the table in 2.4.0 and give it borders, I get a cpu overload (this is a 2.4Ghz/1GB system). I do not have the same problem with 3.0M6.

[users] Intermittant Right Align problem
Hi all, OOo 2.4.0 on XP Pro SP2+: I'm trying to determine whether this is a bug in OOo Writer or not. If it's unheard of, I'll look into submitting a report. I've received some documents that have manual line breaks (mirrored para mark) at the end of each line. It's a rather long story, but my macros were screwing up so I started working manually to see just what was going on. I'm using spaceDelete at the end of each line to remove the para mark and properly apply the formatting to the paragraphs. In other words I'm removing the individual para marks within the paragraphs, leaving only the last one in tact. Intermittantly, but only when I press the space/delete at the end of a line, the left alignment jumps to right alignment and I have to stop and click the Left Align menu item. Pretty much of an annoyance. It's intermittant, but it will happen during EVERY paragraph, just not to every line. Which line it happens at is unpredictable; it might be ther third line, might be the 12th line. It usually only happens once per paragraph, but not necessarily; it might happen two or three times per paragraph. The length of the paragraphs doesn't seem to matter although a short, one or two line paragraph is seldom a problem. I've also tried switching the space; delete to delete;space and no difference. I can find no pattern so far as to when it will happen. Body text, of course. 1. Is this happening to anyone else? Or is it something on my end? 2. Is it a known bug? 3. Is there a workaround or setting that I may have missed? I don't think so, because of the intermittancy, but ... one never knowsg.

I removed and reinstalled OOo to no avail, but it now occurs to me those settings might be in a file that's not deleted? 1. HOW do I get the TOC to include links? Please, don't just copy the Help paragraphs here; I've read them over and over without getting the links to work. Layman's terms please? Some of that Help is a little confusing so I'm probably misnterpreting something. I'm not new to Word or to Writer so you needn't assume I'm a complete newbie either. And, these further questions arose from that effort: 2. Is there a way to RESET *everything* in Writer, or even the entire OOo? Remove/reinstall doesn't seem to accomplish that. Either would be OK with me as I still have 2.3 installed and functional. I'm just getting 2.4 set up so don't mind starting over from scratch. Oh, and yes, I removed 2.3 also when I reinstalled 2.4, just in case there was something clnflicting. Any assistance/advice you could provide would be much appreciated. -- Regards, Twayne - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [users] Text file import to Calc
Hi Victor,
If you change the extension to CSV, you'll get a text import dialogue when you
open the file ('file / open' or drag and drop). Click the 'Fixed Width' radio
button, then set the columns by clicking on the ruler.

How do I import this file into calc (or base). This may vary with operating system (which you have kept a secret). In my version 2.4.0 for Windows XP, there are two techniques which work. Either: o Right-click the file and select Open With | scalc (but not OpenOffice.org 2.4, which will open the file in Writer). This appears to work whether the file's extension is .txt or .csv. o Open the file in a plain text editor and copy and paste the material into a Calc spreadsheet. In either case, this brings up the Text Import dialogue. Under Separator options | Separated by, tick at least space and possibly Merge delimiters. I think the simplest way to get the data into Base is first to put it into Calc, as above. Then: o Copy the region of the spreadsheet containing the data. o In Base, select Tables in the left panel. o Use Edit | Paste (or right-click | Paste in the Tables panel) and follow the Copy table dialogue to create a new table with your imported data or to append the data to an existing table. I trust this helps. Brian Barker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you. I did figure this out although I took a different approach.
In calc, Insert Insert from file leads to the same import dialogue.

Briejer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/4/12 Subject: Computer stalls temporalily and sometimes longer since certain updates of windows To: users@openoffice.org Hi, Until today I was using openoffice 2.3 NL and I suddenly experienced problems where the program stalls, recovery after startup fails even sometimes. As a result I lost several hours time over time while being on a very tight schedule for finnishing my thesis Recovery resulted even in a corrupted backup file. A simple moveclick on a pull down menu-file save as is even causing long stalls. So I thought I needed to update to version 2.4 NL and the problems became worse. Even while typing in this document (see attachment) the program works very very unstable and turns out to be very unreliable. I hope it's only down to some stupid update of Windows Vista which can be undone. My first clues are that it's down to some updates somewhere because with version 2.2. things were perfect.

For various reasons I have uninstalled around 20-30 of these same installations and never encountered any problems due to the absence of the installation files. To check the validity of my claim, I have just gone to my wife's Vista based notebook, checked that the OOo 2.3.1 installation files did not exist and uninstalled it without any errors or problem. I then installed OOo 2.4.0, which completed perfectly. subsequently deleting/erasing the installation files and uninstalled OOo 2.4.0 Both uninstall processes worked perfectly without the need for the original installation files. I am aware that a number of people have reported problems with the Windows uninstaller failing, but based on my experience I think there is an issue other than the absence of the original installation files. Dave BTW I did restore OOo 2.4.0 in good working order to my wife's notebook. I am not that brave/stupid ;)
