It can take a bit of fiddling to get the parameters right, but it does work quite well when you're used to it. PDFCreator is excellent, we've been using it in our offices for many years - just be aware, when saving to any graphics format, it can only do one page at a time. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

But I do see it's yet another of those irritating inconsistencies between OOo modules. Draw/Impress do offer a choice of graphics types; Writer (and Calc) offers only pdf or [x]html. Believe it or not, just sometimes a text document does need to be rendered as an image.

Two more things: 1) If your slide does not contain complex animations you may want to consider exporting it to pdf 2) the MS fee ppt viewer was working with wine so you should be able to check your presentation also on a linux box.

That message commonly occurs when you create a document in ODF formats and then save in MS Office format. If you have OOo on that Windows computer, then just use it, rather than Powerpoint. Otherwise, test it, to make sure it's OK in Powerpoint. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

[users] Writer problem
Hi. Guys, I have a problem with printing envelopes. I have read how to do it but it does not want to print envelopes from the address on a letter i have typed. I don't need a mail merge type address list as most of my letters are once only. In MS Word you just highlight the address on your letter and go into envelope printing and the address appears automatically. Can I do this and if not what a great update it would make as many people have this need. I hope it is there and I just can't find it.

Thanks, Jim The current version of OOo will not run on Win98. You maybe able to find an older version that will at http://archive.services.openoffice.org/pub/openoffice-archive/stable/2.4.0/ . I believe that the 2.4.0 version was the last that would run on Win98, if I am in correct someone on the list will correct me.

[users] Calc Group By Analog in Charts
I have a set of data (from bonnie++) that represents different test cases each with 3 samples. I would like to chart the data but average the samples. Subtotals and Data Pilot give me nearly what I want but not quite. Ideally I would like to be able to paste data in one sheet and have charts generated from the averaged samples on another sheet. My data looks something like: name,size,putc,putc_cpu foo-sda-test1, 16G, 36000, 90 foo-sda-test1, 16G, 36001, 89 foo-sda-test1, 16G, 36002, 88 foo-sda-test2, 16G, 38000, 80 foo-sda-test2, 16G, 38001, 79 foo-sda-test2, 16G, 38002, 78 And I want to chart: foo-sda-test1, 16G, 36001, 89 foo-sda-test2, 16G, 38001, 79 Where the 2 rows above are the averages of the 2 sets of 3 rows above that. I could do a macro but there has to be a way to do this more elegantly. Any thoughts? Regards, -Alan
