Thanks Rob Did you turn on the portable or just open it up from sleep/hibernate mode? Sometimes the system hiccups when waking up from sleep/hibernate modes. Mostly the laptops wake up and say its IP address starts with 169. instead 192., but other time program access is stalled/stopped until I restart. Sometimes Windows does that. You have to restart to get the program running properly. It happens more with me on the Vista, but it has happened with XP as well. I use XP/pro on an AMD64 Athlon 2 gig processor laptop and a Vista Home Premium on a Pentium Dual-Core 2 gig laptop. Plus a Win2000/pro server and a XP/home desktop. OOo 3.1 works well with all four computers and OS's. Sometimes Rebooting is just needed. I found MS's OS need to be freshly rebooted every 5 to 9 days or there can have errors crop up in operations. That is one reason most Businesses I know reboot their MS OS based servers once a week. I did that to a server farm every Sunday night/Monday morning. Do not worry about anti-windows messages. I am retired due to 3 strokes, but I still have to support some businesses, plus friends, family, and others that want to see a windows computer using the software instead of saying it works on windows, but I use Linux and you are fullish to still use your windows OS. Next computer purchase, see if you have time to upgrade to a Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the only good distro out there, acourding to the Linux people I know.

Hallo, habe eine Frage zu dem Duplexmodul meines Drucker unter Open Office. Bei beidseitigem Druck, bietet mir das OOffice nur das Umdrehen der Blätter an obwohl das Modul vorhanden ist und auch aktiv. Bei MS Office gab es da keine Probleme. Nun will ich MS nicht mehr nutzen, da bisher alles andere ja mindestens so gut geht, nur der beidseitige Druck eben nicht. Kennt jemand spezielle Treiber oder was anderes. Vielleicht ist meine Frage auch doof, ist die Erste an dieser Stelle von mir. Wenn es aber eine Lösung gibt, so schreibt mir bitte. Mechthild

My guess is that it's not possible. I think the program needs to freeze the current content while saving in order to get a consistent save. What one might really wish for is a faster save so that the interruption is briefer. Maybe the developers could find ways to move in that direction, but I don't think zero delay is possible. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

On 06/19/2009 06:50 AM, AG wrote: ... How do I set it up so that when I open a document it defaults to opening it at the place I last worked on - i.e. the end of the document? OOo Writer tries to be smart here: if the document is opened by its author, the editing cursor and view are restored and you start out back where you last saved the document. If the document is opened by someone other than the author, it starts at the beginning. Great idea--in principle--but it's broken all too easily since the only way that OOo can determine whether the person opening the document is the author is to look at the name recorded under Tools Options OO.org User Data, which can easily be incorrect or inconsistent across multiple systems or even across software upgrades. If you maintain the name in the user data consistently, then OOo will start your documents at the last saved position. For manual control, you can easily reach the end of the document with Ctrl+End, or the last editing position with Shift+F5. ... How do I set it up so that OOo Writer can do a background save that does not interrupt my work whilst it is saving and that the saving process doesn't return me to the page where the cursor is even when that page does not have focus - i.e. is not the page I am looking at at the time of the background save? ... It's not possible as far as I know. The simplest workaround is to either scroll using methods that also move the editing cursor: PgUp/Dn, Ctrl+Up/Down, and headings in the Navigator are the only ones I can think of; or to develop a habit of always moving the cursor to the area where you're working. There is a request to fix the view jumping on autosave: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81697 and the issue is getting some attention, but there also seems to be some confusion over the exact state of the problem at this point. What bugs me is that this nasty autosave hiccup still happens, even when the document has not changed since the last manual save.
