That sounds to me like something that takes years. Will there be an faster 1.3 round where the new regression curves can be introduced? As far as I know there is no decision about that yet. My personal expectation is that after 1.2 is finished there will be committee drafts for the future version that can be worked with even before the future version is absolutely final.

Re: [users] Re: [Resolved?] Re: Major data loss: Calc formatting numbers
Is there a particular version they were using (between x and y) that they noticed the issue? I can only test from 2.4.1 to current. Thanks, Gary. The problem was just noticed last week, already on 3.1. I should note that I insist that this is an OOo issue because I have had a similar problem, also on a spreadsheet that was created in OOo 2.x. However, I do have backups so when I get to my mother-in-law's place (I only keep the latest backup on-site) I intend to copy those backups and see exactly where the problem occured. When I know more I will file an issue and report back.

Re: [users] Re: [Resolved?] Re: Major data loss: Calc formatting numbers
OK - done. I suspect operator error and/or some other problem with your rounding issue. I have tested (as you suggested: quote in 2.x try entering this into a cell: 317907977. Open it and modify in a later version of 2.x then in 3.0 then 3.1. See if it rounds up. /quote with WinXPPro: 2.4.1 == 2.4.2 == 3.0.0 == 3.1.0 No rounding errors, no issues. I created a file for each version can send to you directly if you wish. Thanks. Send to me the latest, I will see if it rounds here and at the Latet office. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Perhaps they have their own favorite formats they want to see the spread sheet in. Maybe they prefer everything in 14 point Albertus Medium. They may apply a style to the sheet that gives that appearance and inadvertantly change some other format that isn't readily apparent until someone notices that the wrong numbers are rounded inappropriately.

Re: [users] Major data loss: Calc formatting numbers
I have abandoned using BASE and use CALC instead. Very little of my CALC data is numeric. BASE was too hard to set up, the documentation was more confusing than helpful. But since the latest upgrade CALC has a serious bug. Copying a cell that is a formula into a set of other cells either crashes the job, or the copying works but the calculated values are not displayed. Something as simple as setting up a running total in a column (B2 = B1+A2 etc), or setting a date column of every Monday in a year so that the entries are automatically worked out (cell A1 = first date, then A2 =A1+7 and so on) Mike Shearer Townsville, Queensland, Australia - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Copying a cell that is a formula into a set of other cells either crashes the job, or the copying works but the calculated values are not displayed. Errm. If you have a set of numbers in column A and then, starting in B3 you enter the formula =A1+A2 then B3 will contain the sum of A1 and A2. If you drag the formula down column B then B4 will contain the sum of B2 and B3 B5 B3 B4 etc. If you now copy, say B5 into E5, E5 will contain **0**. Why? Because Calc has automagically adjusted the formula to read =D3+D4. This is the way pretty much all spreadsheets work. When copying a *named* value (A1 is a name), the name's two parts (row number and column letter) are considered relative unless preceded by a $ symbol. Thus the value in cell A4 can be referred to in 4 different ways: 1. A4 meaning that both the A and the 4 are relative and thus subject to automagic adjustment as above. 2. $A4 meaning the A is fixed (not subject to automagic adjustment) but the 4 is relative. Copying such a value in the context above would result in the column letter being copied as is but the row numbers being adjusted as necessary. 3. A$4 meaning the A is relative but the 4 is fixed 4. $A$4 meaning both the A and the 4 are fixed. It is worth playing with these combinations to see the differences. In particular, try setting B3 in the above example to 1) =A$1+A$2 and then dragging B3 down column B 2) =$A$1+$A$2 and then, after dragging B3 down column B, copy/paste column B into, say, column F. Now, I'm not saying you haven't found a bug but your description of what you see represents correct behaviour on Calc's part. Of course I don't mean that crashing the job is correct behaviour. If you really get that repeatedly please file a bug and let us know its number. Please also tell us which version of OOo you are using and on which version of which Operating System.

[users] Issues
I was a big supported of Open Office until recently, and today I encountered the last tip that filled de cup. I can't open Draw in my computer (I double click odg file and it doesn't open - I try opening Draw and then the file and it doesn't work either, Draw doesn't open at all) I tried to feedback this problem and I found the site doesn't have an easy bug report system. I won't recomend Open Office any more.

Because you didnt 1) ask for help 2) try to figure out why it wont work on YOUR computer as it works fine on others.

Hello openoffice list: I am in search of a shortcut for both italicizing the selected text and decreasing the fontsize to 1 size smaller. I wonder who can point me to some info about that.

[users] High Contrast bug?
One reason I do not use a High Contrast theme in Windows Vista (as I hadn't in XP) is that the tables in OOo Calc pick up the windows colors even though in Tools Options OpenOffice.org Accessibility I have left all the checkboxes in Options for High Contrast appearance unchecked. Am I missing something or is it a bug? And if it is a bug has it been reported? emf -- It ain't THAT, babe! - A radical reinterpretation http://www.geocities.com/itaintme_babe/itaintme.html - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
