All the messages come from the same address listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net. But then I have only been on the list for about four months. There have been no more since those. I am going to forward as attachment copies of the three messages and let you see them yourself. Received. Thank you very much. You seem to have gotten the first one right away when I sent it. The next one seems to have been sent to you about ten minutes later, and the third one five minutes or so after that. Before I started this reply I saw in at LEAST one thread six duplicate messages. In another I have seen five. This does not prove that there is no problem with my mail server. But this at least opens up the possibility that there might be other explanations... Steven P.

Hi,
The following formula works perfectly in Excel but it does not work in
Calc.
{=Row(1:12)}
Also the following doesn't work in Calc,
{=Row(Indirect(1:12))}
...
You can use =ROW(A1:A12) or =ROW(INDIRECT(A1:A12)); they should work in
Excel as well. You can use any column--A is as good as any--but the
column has to be specified: Calc always requires both column and row in a
reference.
The second form is usually better, even though it's longer and even more
confusing, because the indirect reference won't be adjusted by the
application behind your back. If you use the first form, and later insert
a new row somewhere between A1 and A12, the formula will be adjusted to
=ROW(A1:A13), changing the size of the array and possibly throwing off the
calculation.
I often use a named expression to hide the contortions, something like
INT1_100 for ROW(INDIRECT(A1:A100)).
And, if you only need 1..12, you might use an array constant, which is a
bit more obvious as to the purpose: {1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12}.

I just filed a bug report about this one, and it can be found at: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104659 I also attached (to the bug report, not here) an example spreadsheet where this problem occurs. J.R. Den 30 augusti 2009 09.39 skrev Johnny Rosenberggurus.knu...@gmail.com: I have a semi complicated (or something like that) spreadsheet which works great on my laptop with dual core 1.6 GHz 2 GiB. I run Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org 3.1 and I also do on my Eee PC 900, which is a single core 0.9 GHz, 1 GiB. The problem is on my Eee PC. In my spreadsheet there are several sheets, but all input is done on one of them. That sheet also has some somewhat complicated formulas calculating things as I fill cells with mostly numbers. Almost every time I input something, one ore more of the cells display Err:522, and I KNOW there are nocircular references what so ever on any of the sheets. How do I know that? Well, because when I hit Ctrl+Shift+F9 to recalculate all the cells, the error message is replaced by the appropriate value. Actually I was experimenting with this as I wrote the above and I found a clue why it works on one computer but not on the other one: The Eee has a rather small screen, so I always use that sheet in full screen mode, otherwise I have to scroll often, since the order of input to the cells are kind of random. If I don't use fullscreen mode, there are no errors… So I tested this on my bigger lap top (mentioned above), setting it to full screen mode, and then the errors appears on that one too! First I though that the probolem was that the Eee is a weaker machine with less memory, which could mess things up, but it seems to be the full screen mode that cause my problems! Well, mayhbe I just should report this then… The cells that display the error messages (they don't always do it, but some times when I input something a few of them do, but others don't, and so on…) are not too complicated. A few of them are like =if(blah;something;countif(blahblah;blah)+blah) and some of them are even more simple, like =sum(blah;freekin;blaha;aha).

[users] Base One to many relationship
i hope this is the correct forum for this... i'm still trying to get this to work... i've created two tables: Dates and Visits. This is a bare-bones setup to see if it works. The idea is to input info from visits to homes into the Visits table. Since many visits to homes are made on the same day, it would seem reasonable to NOT include the visit date in the Visits table, but make a separate table for it and relate it to the Visits table in a one-to-many relationship. If i can get this to work, it would also seem reasonable to remove the Neighborhood name and the Street name from the Visits table and place them in separate, individual tables as well, since they are repeated values in the Visits table (many addresses on the same street and many addresses in the same neighborhood). So, i created the following: Dates table IDDates, Primary, Integer, Autoincrement Dates, DateType Visits table IDVisits, Primary, Integer, Autoincrement Street, Text FKDate, Integer, Input not Required My questions are these: Are these sufficient fields? If so, how should i Relate them in the Relationships window so that when i input a new date in the Dates Table the corresponding Foreign Key in the Visits Table will automatically receive a new value? i've created these tables and the relationship in Tools, Relationship, and then tried to create a form but when i got to input info through the form, i can input the first date and the FKDate control appears as 0 (zero) which is correct and corresponds to the first IDDates value. Then, i can continue to input new records alright. But, when i try to input another date, the control will accept it, but when i change to the Visits area, the FKDate field doesn't increment to a new value, it remains zero. What am i not doing correctly? Or is Base not capable of this type of input? Have a great afternoon! smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Hello, Thanks at everybody, especially at AG for the solution. Sorry, i have been unpleasant but nobody seemed to know the solution or the email address to unsubscribe. I give the AG's solution : - send an email to the email address of unscubscription. - receive the mail of open office which explains that we must send an email at an email address too long - send an email to users-requ...@openoffice.org to writing this email address too long. - we receive a email GOODBYE - that's all Good luck Hello Everyone Hello, I'm Steven from the semi-famous(?) Another Wrinkle thread. I did not completely understand what the above advice meant, but I gave it a try. I tried the following: 1. Sent an email FROM listsopenoffice...@afolkey2.net to users- requ...@openoffice.org (I put unsubscribe in the subject line.) 2. Checked my email. Guess what? Almost IMMEDIATELY, I received a confirmation email! 3. Replied to that email, sent it... 4. A few moments later I was unsubscribed! I am using KMail 1.12.0. Maybe this program is afflicted with the long email address issue Anyway, now I am only subscribed under one address, which is what I was after all along. Hmm...

Re: [users] Re: Not possible to unsubscribe me
Phyllis, if you're getting messages from the list, there must be another account that is actually subscribed -- kjoephyl...@msn.com is not. You should be able to determine what the subscribed account's name is by digging into the message header of one of the messages you get and finding the Return-Path header. Just before the @openoffice.org is a version of the subscribed account name, but with an equals sign instead of an at sign. Once you have determined the name of the subscribed account (let's say it's phyl...@isp.com), you can either log on to it and send the unsubscribe, or use the kjoephyl...@msn.com account to send a message to users-unsubscribe-phyllis=isp@openoffice.org. The subscribed account should then get an unsubscribe confirmation request. If you receive that request, on either account, you should be able to respond to it and complete the unsubscribe.

On 08/26/2009 11:10 AM, Steven P. Ulrick wrote: Hello Everyone First of all, I do understand the danger of using development builds to do real work. Second of all, the pictures that I am trying to make a presentation out of are not lost. The only thing that is lost is a fair amount of wasted time.. Anyway, has anyone else seen this scenario: I SEEM to be able to make a presentation in the DEV300m55 build of SImpress. But if I do anything like change the transition time between slides, or (which I just had happen) delete extra slides, SImpress seems to change my full size (appropriately reduced to fit on the size of the page that I have chosen) photos down to an almost thumbnail size, and then resize THAT smaller size to the full size of the page. The result is what you would expect if you took an image that started out only 2 inches wide and then resized it to fit on a presentation made with the Screen size page. Translation: it looks very blurry and almost pixelated. SImpress does all of this silently. In one case that I actually checked, my originally 7.9MB presentation changed down to a file size of 2.5MB. Which is of course what one would expect if somehow OO.org decided to radically reduce the size of my photos. Also, For a comparison, check out slides 30 and 31 in the following presentation: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/OO/20090825-BibleSchool-3.2.0-005.odp You will also notice in that presentation that Slides 1-30 exhibit the resized behavior that I mention, and 31- do not. Note: there are others that go 'fuzzy/small' when saved with DEV300M56 94 - 100, 102 - 103, 107 as well. Here you will notice that all the pictures up to and including EXACTLY slide 30 are gone. The the ones from slide 31 and on look perfect: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/OO/20090825-BibleSchool-3.2.0-006.odp Admittedly it is really interesting that the pictures that dissappeared after I did File | Save As are all of the ones that looked blurry in the previous version. I did a file save as with ttp://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/OO/20090825-BibleSchool-3.2.0-005.odp using DEV300M56 (OOo-Dev_DEV300_m56_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz) and all the slides appear. However several others turned fuzzy/small as well as indicated above. One thing that comes to mind is that I used a VERY RECENT build of GraphicsMagick to resize all 110 photos. It JUST occured to me that I will retry all of this with the GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick that ships with Fedora 11 (Linux). I will get back to you with the results... From http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104146 that Ganesha pointed out, it appears that this happens if thumbnail previews are saved with the photo. I'll have to do a little more experimenting w/M56 to test, but could it be that when you resized with GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick that the fuzzy/small photos were saved with thumbnail preview? If so that information will be helpful in the bug report. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Sometimes recording a macro doesn't record everything you do, especially when you do something with a mouse click. But this time it worked. I created a table in a new, blank document. With the cursor in a cell I turned on Record Macro, then did Table Select Table. Then I applied a color, stopped recording the macro and named it test. Then I created a new, blank table, put the cursor in a cell, and ran the macro. It applied the color to all the cells in the table. My table started out with the default no fill, then I applied a color. I'm sure it would work just as well in reverse. Getting it to do so for every table in the document all in one macro may take more effort. I don't know how to locate and select tables from menu options. But at least you can do it one table at a time. And you can assign macros to hotkeys, or assign them to toolbar buttons. I'm a big fan of recording macros for repetitive tasks. I just wish organizing them was more intuitive. Or maybe others find it intuitive.
