[users] Adding entry into Index
I have a document that was a Word docx file that is now saved as an odt document. It has an index (which LOOKS as thought all the entries are Hyperlinks - if you hover over the entry in the index a pop-up appears saying Ctl Click to follow link). I'm trying to add an entry into this index for some pages inserted into the document in the middle, but I can't get the entry to appear. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I'm trying the suggestion in OO Help to highlight the word and do Insert-Tables and Index-Entry bit then it all gets very confusing. The styles of all the other entries in the Index seem to be things that I can't add to the paragraph style to the new heading, I can't change the heading style from default and all sorts of other things!

[users] Dual scale charts
I am virtually certain I can't do this in excel. Can I do it in OO? Usually, what I want to plot is some kind of price index along with some sort of economic series. Their values are going to wildly different. The price series might be 20,000, while the economic series is 1.8. I want both to fill most of the chart. Putting the scales on opposite sides would be great but not critical. If anybody has a method to do this, I would appreciate seeing it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Hi Robert report the price in 1000$ instead of $ - create a new column in = X/1000 and use this column for your chart - otherwise you can use a second measurement - normally on the right side of the diagram.

I'm not 100 % sure, but you could try after downloading to do a custom install (assuming that you use windows). You might be able to select there, that you only want to install Calc. But, you won't save much disk space, since OpenOffice.org was designed from the beginning to reuse as much code as possible.

To do this, you need to create a new template with your letterhead design. o Open a new text (Writer) document. o Enter the material you require - address? telephone number? etc. - and format it appropriately. o Go to File | Templates | Save..., give your new template a name, choose a place to save it - probably My Templates - and click OK to save it. To create a new document based on this template, click Templates... in the OpenOffice initial splash screen or go to File | New | Templates and Documents - and then double-click the appropriate template.

Brewster Also, If you really don't want to ever use any of the other parts, you could do the following: (1) Make sure that OOo does not associate any of it's components with file extensions you want other programs used for, e.g., .doc (Microsoft Word), and if it does just reassociate them back where you want them. (2) Delete from the start menu all short-cuts that start the unwanted components.
