Hi Neil, Dotan Cohen has respond you already and now compare it with this message where I have copied his text and do TOP posting: I do not understand to what he is responding! 8-- That is because most mailing lists encourage, and some demand, bottom or inline posting. Many list gurus will not even read top posted messages. That is common for users of one particular email client who's default behaviour is to top post, and who's users have not used mailing lists in the past. For personal email, where answers to questions come _after_ the question chronologically, top posting is fine. For mailing lists, with web archives and hundreds of users, top posting is counter productive. Go ahead and explain. Your opinion is no less valid than mine. ??, ?? ?? ?? ?? ??. Actually, I personally do prefer to read from right to left. Some like to drive on the left side of the road, some on the right. But in any specific environment, one way is preferred. For personal one-on-one email, top posting makes sense and I do it too. For mailing lists, it's bottom- or inline- posting. For the people who deal with mailing lists all day, this is a very important issue. I am active in over 40 mailing lists. Your 'little quirk' multiplied by 40 makes for a big waste of my time.

At 14:27 13/05/2008 +0800, James Elliott wrote: I inserted a table into a Writer text document to assist with the formatting of a form I am creating. When I had finished creating the form I wanted to adjust the row height to make it easier for a user of the form to fill it in with a pen or pencil - ie I wanted to make the row height bigger. I tried two methods: 1. Select rows Right click Row Height 2. Table Autofit Row height Either way, I ended up with a pop-up dialogue box which said the row height was 0.01cm (clearly wrong!) and the Fit to size box was ticked. I don't think this is exactly wrong. Clearly, you cannot have a defined size operative and Fit to size selected at the same time: you cannot both choose a value and have it chosen for you. If Fit to size is ticked, the row height set in the box seems to act as a minimum. By default, this is set to a very small value; this means, of course, that the Fit to size option takes precedence, no matter how much you have in your row. I have since made some sense of setting row heights. It seems if you set heights of 1 cm or greater then you seem to get what you asked for. No: if you leave the Fit to size box ticked, the row will adjust to accommodate whatever you put in it, but will exceed this only if the set height value is greater. Your 1 cm must have been roughly what the current contents of your row required. I am still unsure why the dialogue box says the row height is 0.01cm when you first open it? If you are still choosing to have the row height Fit to size, it makes sense for the default minimum height to be very small, so that the Fit to size option is always obeyed. I would also like to know why, if you untick the Fit to size box, your table collapses into something resembling a thick black line (about 2-3mm high/thick)? If you decide against Fit to size, the row takes on the height you have indicated. Is this still 0.01 cm? It sounds as if you have got exactly what you asked for. A tenth of a millimetre would make a very shallow row - presumably lost in its borders. It seems that manipulating Row height in a table inserted into a Writer document is nothing like doing the same thing in Calc, and I would appreciate any help in understanding this dialogue box. o If you want the row height to adjust to its contents (and be no larger), select Fit to size and leave the height in the box at something suitably small. o If you want the row height to adjust to its contents but to have a particular minimum size, select Fit to size and set the minimum height in the box. o If you want the row to have a fixed, specified height, deselect Fit to size and set the required height in the box.

[users] Data in report not changing when data in Query is changed
I am using OpenOffice.org 2.4 and have created a database. I created a query based on the table so that I can see the data of one specific month at a time. For example, in the Criterion Line I have put BETWEEN 01/05/2008 AND 31/05/2008 and this will print out all records or May. I created a report based on this query, but when I change this one criterion line in the query it does not show up in the Report. Is there a way to fix this?

ONLY the US is MickySoft centric and that is illogical, but then, Americans for the most part lost their ability to think logically a long time ago. Further, having been involved in IT since '80, I can assure you that the #1 reason MickySoft has maintained their #1 spot IS primarily due to illegal and grossly underhanded actions and NO OTHER. Israel is very MS-centric as well. Even in the largest national computer chain, and even in the small private computer shops, nobody knows what Linux is. It's amazing. Some people have a vague idea that computers can be Apple without understanding what that means, but for the most part computer - MS Windows+MSO.

[users] Re: Re: letter from k s ram kumar
I have been using Openofffice.org writer for about an year or so. I also have the Openoffice.org (ver 2.4). Well. For students of medical transcription and legal coding, MS Office Word has a special feature called Window. (This option is available under File Edit View... etc., - when you open the text editor for document writing). Using this module and other options contained in it, we can compare the original document associated with a voice file in 'side by side', 'split' and 'cascading' modes (original document and the copy created by the user - one below the other) - while listening to the associated voice file. In OpenOffice: There is an option under Window|New Window. That will provide you with two copies of the same document in two windows, which you can move/resize as required on your screen. Changes made to one window will be reflected in the other. Alternativley, you can open a different document in that second window. Now, in Openoffice, is it also possible to open two different documents in two different windows, and arrange them in cascading mode? (i.e., arrange one window below the other , as in MS Office Word?) Pl.let me know about it? K.S.Ram Kumar

2008/5/14 James Knott [EMAIL PROTECTED]: By default, OpenOffice saves in the ISO standard ODF formats, which Microsoft refuses to support. You'll have to save or email your documents in Word format. You can save them in Word format, by selecting Word from the drop down list, when using Save as. Also ensure automatic file name extension is selected. You can also email directly, by clicking on File Send E-mail as Microsoft Word. I do not recommend sending in word format. Better off sending a PDF. A pdf will be rendered exactly the same on all platforms. With a word document, you cannot know what version of Word the receiver is using, or if he is using an alternative Office Suit. There are tens of office suits available, not only OOo and MSO.

Actually, you've also multi-posted to groups not even listed in your lists. Multi and cross posting are two entirely different things - you actually multi-posted to these groups here where you should have cross-posted. Please remember in the future. How to Post to more than one group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting Hi All, Sorry for the cross-posting, but it is a major update and I wanted to let all the major groups within OpenOffice.org know what is happening. Some of you will probably remember that I have a site with a knowledgebase for OpenOffice.org and you can ask questions and get responses and it learns as people use it and more questions are added. Well, I am taking this to the next level! I have put up a proper website around it which will contain my OpenOffice.org blog articles, training courses and of course, the knowledgebase. This new site (known as OpenOffice.org Down Under being in Australia), is still situated at http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au so that the knowledgebase will not be lost, but the knowledgebase is being slowing incorporated into the site to make it more functional and look better. It will focus on events and articles of importance to OpenOffice.org and ODF, particularly in reference to the Australian region and close proximity. As part of this change, I am looking at also making available a commercial version of the knowledgebase for a small subscription which will add extra benefits such as being able to search by category or version as well as more interaction with comments on points etc. Will keep you informed when (or if) this eventuates, but it will not deter from having a community knowledgebase which will always be available free to the people. I am also in the process of adding a lot of new information into the knowledgebase, so just be aware of changes and increase in knowledge in the coming days to weeks.

I've been reading these posts, and after reading some of the requests I've changed my mind a bit. In the Windows environment, people seem to have the mindset that an office suite should contain, among the spreadsheet, database, presenter, and word processor, both an email and calendar. The problem here is that having and integrated email and calendar module would possibly dilute the resources, and there are also some excellent packages available for both Windows, Linux, and Mac. I think that possibly OO.o should possibly package either Thunderbird or Evolution or another client. By package, I don't mean in a single download, but provide the capability to easily acquire one of these. The problem is not, as Fred mentions, Microsoft domination, it is expectation. Linux users do not expect a fully integrated product, but Windows users do, and that is the current reality. I have more to say on this, but no time, just a few thoughts. -- -- Jerry Feldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I am unclear what you mean by narrated presentation. Also, what
platform will this be running on, e.g., Blackboard, WebCT or a direct
website?
I use Impress for presentations in class all the time, but so far I
have never had to create a presentation online. Some day I will
probably have to do so, so I am interested in exactly what you need to
do and how you resolve the issue.
I wonder if the OP is looking for something like 'rehearse timings',
which is well described in help, and can be started from the 'slide
show' menu.
That, plus starting a sound track in the transition for the first
slide (as was discussed here some months ago) allows a pre-recorded
soundtrack, with the slides changed with pre-programmed timing.
Don't know about the conversioin to interactive html though.
The Narration function of PowerPoint allows the user to create a slide
show and then go back and add voice narration - as if one were giving a
lecture to a live audience. The user changes slides as he/she wishes
while talking. The .ppt file then contains the slides and the digitized
voice. One then feeds that into Impacta
http://www.impatica.com/imp4ppt/ (beware, this starts an impacta
presentation about impacta. You can stop/silence it by clicking on the
stop button ||) which compresses the file and adds JAVA links so that
the file can be interacted with by the eventual student user.
I will be using it with Blackboard.

Re: [users] Re: OOo needs an email client, Pegasus needs a sponsor and a text editing component
Hello! For linux users too it's useful to have integrated office suite, like koffice. I can't say about others, but I like a lot concept of koffice as well as microsoft office and I like functionality of openoffice.org un Thunderbird. I'm sure that the question is not just about another openoffice.org style icon in menu bar, but integration of different office components, like attaching documents and e-mails to certain tasks or events, sending events by e-mail, organizing notes and doing lot of other useful and time saving things. I don't see any reason to include Thunderbird with Lightning into openoffice.org package as they are, because it will not change anything in functionality. I'm sure that the right direction is to provide much better integration with Thunderbird + Lightning, Evolution and may be other calendar + e-mail applications.

Re: [users] Data in report not changing when data in Query is changed
Rebecca wrote: I am using OpenOffice.org 2.4 and have created a database. I created a query based on the table so that I can see the data of one specific month at a time. For example, in the Criterion Line I have put BETWEEN 01/05/2008 AND 31/05/2008 and this will print out all records or May. I created a report based on this query, but when I change this one criterion line in the query it does not show up in the Report. Is there a way to fix this? Rebecca Hello Rebecca, Using version 2.4 the report wizard uses the name of the query the report is based by on extracting the SQL select statement from it, then writing this statement into a hidden control on the form document. When the report is generated it is this copied SQL statement that is actual used, not the query object.. This is why when you change the Query then run the report the again the change is not reflected. One way around this is to use named replacement parameters in your query, as these will be copied when the report is created the system will prompt for the values to use when the report is generated. This will require that you alter the way you setup the Query then. Instead of using BETWEEN you would need to use to fields one being = and the other =. For example: If your original query where SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE DateCol BETWEEN #01/05/2008# AND #31/05/2008# the altered query would be SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE DateCol = :StartDate AND DateCol = :EndDate Now if you create a dynamic report from this query when the report is run a dialog box will pop up and ask the user for the StartDate and EndDate values to use.

[users] FW: Impress: PowerPoint narration - save me from microsoft
Hi,
I am trying to use Flash instead of interactive HTML, and I looked at
Impress about a year ago and rejected it for this purpose. Impress simply
did not support animations and sounds adequately.
Instead, I've been using the method posted here:
http://discussions.blackboard.com/jive4/thread.jspa?messageID=106419#106419
.
I think you could adopt it to Impress without too much trouble. If your ppt
is already narrated, you should be able to find the sound files. (I think
ppt narration uses one file per slide.) Then, instead of recording, use
Audacity to edit the sound track. If you're not using Windoze, you'd have to
find some other tools for the dynamic screen capture, combining/editing the
sound and video, and transcoding.
BTW, if Impress every got its act together for flash, html, and other
conversions, it would immediately become a killer app since, to the best of
my knowledge, no easy to use, affordable (free) interactive flash/html
program exists.

I don't believe this is inbuilt into Impress (no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong!); however, much the same could be done by creating the slide show, starting an audio recorder/editor such as audacity, and recording the narration, then proceeding much as above. You then also get the chance to edit the sound file (remove the ums, ers and coughs perhaps!), although the procedure would be more complicated. Thinking about it, if you don't edit the sound file, you'd probably only need the one pass with care. Any better offers out there? http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=openoffice+%2Bimpress+%2Bnarration turned up several methods.

Sorry to be dense, but I read, and re-read, and still wondered How are these different? Doesn't the condition If you want the row height to adjust to its contents *imply* and be no larger? In both of your cases, doesn't Fit to size mean: (a) the row size will be at least (particular minimum size) whatever is specified with Fit to size, and (b) it will grow as needed (but no larger) to accommodate the row's contents? - or have I missed something? You are right in that they operate in the same way. They must do, since you are doing the same thing both times. But no: the way Fit to size works doesn't imply that the row will never be larger than the contents require, since the value set acts as a minimum. If this is ever brought into play - if it is large enough or the contents small enough - the row height will be greater than the contents require. It may help to see the suggestions as having separate purposes. If you wish to set a minimum row height - possibly greater, that is, than whatever is necessary to accommodate the contents - you can specify it. If not, you simply set the row height to something smaller than will conceivably be required (e.g. the default 0.01 cm). The actual value set, if sufficiently small, will never become significant. I thought it would help answer the original enquiry to show how and why the very small default value for row height makes sense when used with the Fit to size option.

I think this is something like an enhancement request. I _think_ you can set the document to use a specific printer. However, I seem to recall that doing that created some problems in the past when the printer wasn't available. Check the 'Printers' info in Help (F1). There seem to be quite a few options for printer setup, adding, default, etc., and spadmin.

Also ensure automatic file name extension is selected. You can also email directly, by clicking on File Send E-mail as Microsoft Word. I do not recommend sending in word format. Better off sending a PDF. A pdf will be rendered exactly the same on all platforms. With a word document, you cannot know what version of Word the receiver is using, or if he is using an alternative Office Suit. There are tens of office suits available, not only OOo and MSO. You'd be surprised at how many systems do not have a PDF reader installed. Plus Adobe Reader 8.1.2 for Windows takes up 130MB of disk space.

(i.e., arrange one window below the other , as in MS Office Word?) Pl.let me know about it? Just open both documents and use the window manager's (Windows in your case) facilities to arrange the windows. Right click in the Task Bar and choose Cascade, Tile Vertically or Tile Horizontally depending on your preference. This actually has nothing to do with OpenOffice but is a standard facility within the Windows window manager which is an integral part of the Windows operating system. OpenOffice is only obeying the rules specified by the window manager. I presume similar facilities exist in the various Linux window managers and on Macs. It is perhaps unfortunate that when one uses Microsoft's products one tends not to learn the distinction that exist among functions belonging to the operating system, functions belonging to the window manager and functions belonging to application programs. In fact, one tends not even to learn that there are distinctions. In general this reduces understanding and increases rote behaviour. The tendency is reinforced by the fact that with Microsoft the operating system and the window manager have the same name. It even leads to shoddy design decisions such as delegating the arrangement of the windows to the application program as in the case of MS Office. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using 50kb in an urban environment is often much nearer the real world truth, distance from the exchange and line interference tend to be the two most common losses.

Hardware compression works at the packet level whereas zip works at the file level so V90 compression may still have a useful impact (not my field of knowledge, so i cannot say how much). Idealy, with compression, a 56kBit V.90 Modem can transfer up to 35 MByte per second and an 64 kBit ISDN line up to 50 MByte per second. WTF? per second? If you are sending a file that contains 10^9 identical bytes precompressed into a 5k zip file perhaps otherwise this statement is a bit misleading. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day Michelle Konzack Modern modems don't use start/stop bits in the audio side data stream. They do synchronous signaling with a packet wrapper, much like Ethernet. Most of them also have FEC or ECC built in to recover errors. The total overhead is way less than two bits per octet. The start and stop bits are only present in the digital signal to/from the serial ports, which has much higher data speed than the audio link. We have come a long way from the Bell 202 and 212 days.
