[users] copy master slide to create a modified version
hi, I want to create a second master slide and I want to use the existing master as a template. I thought that it should be possible to copy this with a right click or with edit copy. But when I select the first master slide in the presentation (Of course in the master view) a right click does not offer the desired options. In the Edit Menu Copy is greyed out. Is there a way to copy an existing Master slide? I tried it with a new blank presentation as well - no luck. I tried this on OpenOffice 2.4.1 and on OpenOffice 3.0 RC1 Any help would be appreciated.

I added information on the operating system I tried this on OpenOffice 2.4.1 and on OpenOffice 3.0 RC1 Both versions run on ubuntu 8.04 The 2.4.1 is the OpenOffice out of the ubuntu repositories and the 3.0 RC1 is the build from the OpenOffice.org homepage.

Re: [users] Save button in 3.0.1 Ubuntu

A work around: - in the normal view right click on a slide and choose Slide design - in the window that follows, click load - choose a template with the master slide you want to use (again) - choose that master page for the current slide. Now it is also available in the master slide's view. I'm not sure what will happen with the names - you'll find out.

Re: [users] Automated path defaults for users in network install [solved in a way]
Christian Rößler schrieb: Well, I solved that in another way. In case someone is interested I will write how: But then cames the point I cannot get over: If the user presses the button Vorlagen (german for 'templates'), the templates from a pre-defined path should appear, and should be entered into tools-openoffice.org-paths also. I have given up solving this through .xcu-entries. While perhaps this is possible, I have not managed this. But I have reached the target (for each user a system-wide template directory and a private template directory, and only this) so: - I have deleted the wizard directory from /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/template/; - Locality here is de, so I also deleted anything from /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/template/de. - Made a soft link in /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/template/de to the template directory. - Deactivated the extension Sun_ODF_Template_Pack2_de.oxt with the extension manager as root. But if someone knows how to reach that goal without deleting directories and setting links, just with .xcu-files, I would still be interested.

[users] Ooo, 100% fails on F10
Greetings; Fedora 10 system, quad core phenom, 4Gb ram, yadda yadda. I have for the last 3 or 4 versions of fedora I'm running, gone to the Ooo site and downloaded and installed the real thing, so as to miss the icedtea debacle that fedora has been telling was the real koolaid. Now it refuses to run from the kde 'Office3' menu, and I just verified that all links do point to the correct 'swriter' etc pieces. But the dancing cursor just times out. I am running a fresh updatedb, so I can attempt to run from the cli see what errors might fall out. I just updated to kde-4.2.2 2 or 3 days ago and rebooted. Here is the error: [r...@coyote /]# /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running that down as to where it might be, I found there was no file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d for openoffice, so I did this: [r...@coyote /] cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d [r...@coyote ld.so.conf.d] echo /usr/lib/openoffice.org/ure/lib openoffice- ure.conf [r...@coyote ld.so.conf.d] ldconfig -v|less -- and it was then listed. And: [r...@coyote /]# /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter now works. This it would appear is a packaging problem, this file should have been created, and ldconfig ran by the installer. FWIW, before I did this, I had nuked it all (in /opt) and had yumex remove it all, then reinstalled using yumex, didn't work, removed it, installed your tar.gz and that didn't work either.
