[users] Calc Lack of Printer Options and Write FAX pdf file name.
Hello. My system is MacOS X 10.5.5, OpenOffice 3.0.0 OOO300m9 (Build:9358) My problem(s). No1: Working with a spreadsheet I do mark an area that I want to be printed instead of the whole sheet. I do not get the chance to select Print Marked Area Only That option did show up before I had installed a printer, after installing the printer I can not find the option to print Print Marked Area Only. Anyone have a suggestion? No2: Using the printer option to send a pdf by fax using the Mac system a Write document is faxed, BUT the statistics of sent faxes displayes the document with no file name in the fax list. This is a problem as I then do not know what document has been faxed. Using MS Word however the file name of the document is displayed in the sent fax list. I assume this is a problem to be solved by the developers. Best regards, /Hans. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] Question about Calc
Thanks for the answer to my question about Calc - this did the trick In answer to Steve's question about why I should want to do this, I think it was partly answered but the specific cases I wanted it for were: 1. I'd got some invoices to do and in many cases the only change from last year was replace some line items with =ROUND(last_years_price * (1 + inflation_rate);2) The trouble is I did that last year and the formula started to look ridiculous, besides which inflation_rate was different. I suppose I could have done it by making inflation_rate some cumulative value but it seemed easiest to start from plain numbers. Or I could have had last year's invoice on one worksheet with a reference to the line item for that in another worksheet. 2. I had to make some high-level adjustments to our accounts for end of year audit and in some cases I had to move sums between the debit and credit column, so for example row A had X subtracted from the debit column row B had Y added to the debit column and row C had X-Y subtracted from the credit column. I wanted the values to be the correct final values not a whole string of corrections especially as the formulae involved plain numbers and no cell references. 3. Same task - we have most accounts in GBP, some in USD and some in Euro. When conversions have been done at certain points of the year, the rate that applied on that day rather than the rate at the end end of the year had to be used. In all cases the easiest thing seemed to me to be to just replace the column with the numeric value once I was happy it was right. I could have probably done it by having a considerably more complicated spreadsheet in each case but it seemed pointless in the circumstances. John Collins Xi Software Ltd www.xisl.com

Thank You, Phyllis M Hello Phyllis, You don't have to join OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is a complete office suite with text manipulation, spreadsheet, presentation program, database program etc. It is an Open Source program, which makes it free of charge, free to distribute and to use. You can find all relevant information at www.openoffice.org I don't know how OpenOffice.org got onto your computer. Maybe the shop you got it from installed it, since it's free and a good substitute for expensive proprietary office suites like MS Office. Why not give it a try before throwing it into the trashbin?

My recommendation would be to type this string as '3.3.3 as the ' (a single quote mark) tells a spreadsheet program that what follows is a string of characters and not a number.

[users] Saving dta on a samba-share
We are using staroffice 8 and openoffice 2 since 2006 on about 300 pc in my school. The users are saving their data on their personal samba-share. Now we want to change to OO-3 and have the problem, that no user is able to save data in his/her home-share. Cause is the new behaviour of open office, to create a temporary file like .lockFilename. .Filename-files are vorbidden (veto file statement in the smb.conf ) for this share. Is there any possibility to change the standard name for the temporary files (they should not begin with a dot) ? Is it possibe to change the path for the temporary files without changing the path to the working directory ?

No, you don't need to remove it, as you can run both on the same computer. However, unless you're planning on paying for it, you might as well remove it.

Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote: A reference implementation is used as a definitive interpretation for that specification. This helps to discover errors and ambiguities in the specification. It is very difficult to fully specify anything, and at least with a reference implementation, you know who is correct. I frequently see web pages rendered differently depending on the web browser used. Which one is correct and accurate? A reference implementation would answer that question immediately. It is clearly important to have a fully and correctly specified system, but that does not remove the helpfulness of a reference implementation. I only vaguely remember the precise behavior that you use to claim that a destructive edit exists. Did I consider it a bug? Yes! Now, which behavior is correct? In this context, however, the first issue of discussion seems to be the ODF file format and how it should be rendered. We only care that it is always and consistently rendered exactly the same. If I save a file, reopen the file, and the rendering has changed, well, where is the bug? Is the data properly rendered? Was the data changed on write? A reference implementation would help sort that out. I feel that my point has been missed. With regards to two web pages that are rendered differently, assuming that the markup is valid and to spec, the answer to the question regarding which is correct is both of them. My point is that the ODF spec should be like proper use of XHTML strict; a rigid and well-defined set of semantic rules with a 1:1 mapping to document elements. Were that the case, it wouldn't matter at all if the documents were *rendered* differently, as editing them in different apps would not result in any semantic irregularities. If I were working on a document in OOo and my colleague was working on the same document in Abiword, if the ODF specification was properly abstracted, neither of us would be any the wiser that the document was rendered differently to the other. - Naz. -- السلام عليكم Web: www.mrnaz.com Ph: +61 400 460 662 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So the date changes are correct. Lock files have to exist alongside the original if they're to be any use in a networked environment - different machines may have different ideas of the suggested common location. I think the OP needs to get his samba config changed - that seems to me to be the real issue. I wasn't actually aware 'dot' files could be prohibited under samba - and my own OOo v3 running under XP works very happily using a samba share. BTW 'dot' files do seem to be a general windows issue: try using R-click and New|Text File under explorer to create a file called .xyzzy - it won't do it (file name needed or some such). I will try to explain my problem with the dot-Files: The server is set up to supply windows- and linux-clients. The linux-clients needs a lot of dot-files in the homes of the user. These files should not be visible using the windows-clients. For this purpose there is the Veto-file-statement in the smb.conf-file. It has never been a problem before.

The apostrophe does not appear in the cell, but just indicates that the data should be interpreted as text and suppresses the automatic recognition of dates. Note that if you have Custom Quotes set up, the apostrophe will itself be corrected into a smart quote and this will prevent it being recognised properly. To avoid this, either press Ctrl+Z (or go to Edit | Undo) immediately after typing the apostrophe each time (which undoes the correction to smart quote but does not remove the apostrophe) or go to Tools | AutoCorrect... | Custom Quotes and remove the tick from Replace under Single quotes once (which suppresses the unwanted correction).

I have seen several replies to this question. But none seem to address the original issue of the creation of the file itself.

[users] Multiple libraries with OOo Base AS 400 ?
Hi, I'm using OpenOffice Base to connect to our AS400 server through JDBC. It works fine, but there's only one problem : We have three libraries (databases) and in the connection string, I have to specify one of them. Current library is displayed and I can access the other two using some text requests. What I would like, is to have all three databases shown in Base GUI, to be able to select tables from any of the libraries using the common interface. So basically, I'm using three separate OOBase files to show each library structure. Is it possible to have all libraries displayed ? I thought of specifying my three libraries in the connection string, but I don't know if it's possible and what the syntax is. Anyone an idea ?

Re: [users] Updating ranges after inserting line
I handle this problem by filling the empty row with dashes or equal signs to remind me that the row is a non-data row. Then I name the range from the head of the column to the dashed line based on the type of data in the column (e.g., Miles) and then make the formula in the sum line =SUM(Miles). When I need to add a new row of data, I just add the row above the dashed line and the named range automatically updates itself. I hope this helps.

Then I name the range from the head of the column to the dashed line based on the type of data in the column (e.g., Miles) and then make the formula in the sum line =SUM(Miles). When I need to add a new row of data, I just add the row above the dashed line and the named range automatically updates itself. I hope this helps.

Now we want to change to OO-3 and have the problem, that no user is able to save data in his/her home-share. Cause is the new behaviour of open office, to create a temporary file like .lockFilename. .Filename-files are vorbidden (veto file statement in the smb.conf ) for this share. Is there any possibility to change the standard name for the temporary files (they should not begin with a dot) ? Is it possibe to change the path for the temporary files without changing the path to the working directory ? OOo 3.0 made some significant changes to how file locking is implemented - see: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91015 [data loss using concurently OOo3 and another editor in the same network] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95528 [Let OOo use lock file mechanics for alien formats as well.] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95530 [Notify on closing/saving if the file was changed by other application.] There is considerable discussion regarding this on the release and development lists 3.0.1 is supposed to address _some_ of the issues. You may want to read those bug/issue reports participate in testing/commenting. In the interim, I'd recommend that you stay with 2.4.2 for the time being until the issue(s) is resolved. Also, note that StarOffice 9 (yet to be fully released) may have the same issues. However, generally Sun/SO tend to use OOo as a testing ground (hence the delay in releasing SO9), so perhaps they will have addressed the problem by the time they release. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
