Should someone be sending UK users to the US version at present? Thanks Rob Is there really a Bri'ish version? Or are you just expected to choose the UK variety of English, along with dictionary, measures, etc., just as one can choose French, Tagalog, or many other languages. Stan There is a bit of history behind this. Several years ago there was a UK English version but because of problems in testing it was dropped. I checked on the downloads page (http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#tested-full) and found these: Dutch Nederlands 3.2.1 DownloadDownloadDownload 3.1.1 3.1.1 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 English (British) English (British) 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 3.2.0 English (US)English (US)3.2.1 DownloadDownloadDownload DownloadDownloadDownload3.2.0 DownloadDownload I am sorry but the page is too wide for this e-mail. So yes there is now a OOo 3.2.0 version for British English, but when you try and download from main Ooo page you are directed to the UK 3.2.1 version that does not exist and find a missing page message. Thanks Rob I can't resist saying it: The difference between US and UK English is vastly exaggerated. On the level of e.g. GUIs and other epigraphical uses, it is trivial or nonexistent. I am a native speaker of US English. Because the world is as global as it is, I do encounter spellings and usages that are recognizable as British practice, and I do not gag when this happens. The original questioner, on the other hand, seems to be offended by the necessity of being exposed to American English, which is a bit overdrawn. If he will tour England (not to mention the greater UK) he will find far greater variation than exists between standard US and standard UK varieties of the language. This is a classical red herring. If he has difficulty in reading this message, I hope someone will translate it for him. Stan I agree. I spend at least halp of my time writing for american clients in American English. My main concern is not the missing version but the fact that people in the UK who try to download OpenOffice are presented with a page that shows that the OOo 3.2.1 UK version is missing rather than offering either 3.2.0 UK or 3.2.1 US Thanks Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

[users] 3.2.0 runs better after crash/repair
I started out with OOo 3.0.x when I was using Ubuntu 64-bit 9.04/9.10. Then I had an upgrade to the 10.04 version and got 3.2.0. I had a problem with the viewing of the Toolbars, where the Font name and size toolbars would not auto load or stay when I switched between viewing modes. Yesterday morning we had a lighting storm and my system had a major crash for some reason I still have to figured out [surge protection and such did not trip]. So I spent most of yesterday working on rebuilding the system files and this time I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit directly instead of doing an OS upgrade. That gave me the following OOo build: OOO320m12(build:9483) ooo-build 3.2.0.10 Debian 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4 Fri Apr 23 19:10:52 UTC 2010 When I got that build with the OS upgrade, I still had the Toolbar viewing troubles. With the complete reinstall of the system, without the upgrade from 3.1.x to 3.2.x, I no longer have that viewing problem - so far. I have not changed the default toolbars, but the font name and size is shown as a default, instead of having to load it like I had to with 3.0.x through the upgrades to 3.2.x. So my OOo 3.2.0 runs better after the crash and repair of the system, that it did when I did the version upgrade. Now I have to figure out why the system kept having login problems and loosing mouse button usage after about 3-5 minutes of uptime then the image on the display would freeze. Since I has an electrical storm, without my surge protection tripping or other systems to protect it from such outside forces showing any tripping, I cannot figure why it stopped sending video to the display, then freezing half the time on login screen, then mouse buttons stop working after a few minutes, and/or the video freezing while the computer still running properly otherwise [like finishing a copy/paste of files to the backup drive while saving the up-to-date data files and photos]. Well, I got it working again by installing a new copy of Ubuntu onto the computer. So we shall see if it lasts. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] I need some help please....
Hello Sue, I'm impressed, that you are working with computers. Not everyone your age is willing to learn how to use a computer. Could you please give us some more details about the version of OpenOffice.org you downloaded and what the exact name of your operating system (Mac OS X, 10.4.xxx). If you could give us those details, then it is much easier for all the users on this list to help you. Please reply to the list (users@openoffice.org) only and not to me directly. This way you make sure, that there are a lot more people who receive your message and might have an idea, what you could try to solve your problem. Sigrid 2010/6/4 Sue Hackney suehack...@cox.net I have a Mac (year old desk top computer) I downloaded your programbut for some reason I can't open anything with it... Since I'm 73I don't understand all things as the younger ones do... would love to have some help with trying to open fileespecially tif files...

Either is inaccurate for a .doc file, though. I think the box is supposed to be empty in that case. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] [moderated] FrontPage Equivalent?
jamescarson wrote: Does it support a compatible FrontPage or similar? for my web editing. JJC OOo can save its documents in HTML format, and for some purposes that's probably close enough. It does not have support for getting changes onto a site through a publish operation, you'll need something like Filezilla for that. But for serious web design, you're probably better off to go with a more specifically targeted product. A lot of the people on this list seem to use Seamonkey -- free from www.mozilla.org -- which includes an e-mail client, calendaring, and web page construction capabilities (other things too, probably; I have no personal experience with it). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

[users] Re: 3.2.0 runs better after crash/repair
On 06/07/2010 04:25 AM, Tim Lungstrom wrote: I started out with OOo 3.0.x when I was using Ubuntu 64-bit 9.04/9.10. Then I had an upgrade to the 10.04 version and got 3.2.0. I had a problem with the viewing of the Toolbars, where the Font name and size toolbars would not auto load or stay when I switched between viewing modes. Yesterday morning we had a lighting storm and my system had a major crash for some reason I still have to figured out [surge protection and such did not trip]. So I spent most of yesterday working on rebuilding the system files and this time I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit directly instead of doing an OS upgrade. That gave me the following OOo build: OOO320m12(build:9483) ooo-build 3.2.0.10 Debian 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4 Fri Apr 23 19:10:52 UTC 2010 Keep in mind that that version is the go-oo version[1] and not the version supplied by openoffice.org. For you distribution version bug reports go here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org Also be aware that enabling the quickstarter in Ubuntu OOo will prevent you from closing down your system properly (it's being worked on) see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/562027 That said; the go-oo version supports sound video out of the box, and adds additional filters that the standard OOo doesn't. You can run both versions in parallel (and at the same time side-by-side) if you wish. But there are a few added steps to do so. Let me know if you'd like to know how.

I tested on WinXP and the icons for .doc etc seem to remain as I remember them (page with a 'W'). I also tested on Win7 and the icons appear as shown in the link. Icons on my linux systems remain as before. I'll have to recreate in a Win virtualbox to see what the exact originals are/were. Either way, IMO OOo shouldn't be messing with OS application icons outside of their own particular application. To do so is a violation of the OS IMO simply stupid. I wonder how OOo would react if MSO or any other related application were to replace their icons for every .odt .ods, .odp etc., icon? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
