Re: [users] Change to style does not have full effect

If you have pasted anything into your document from another document, the styles of the original document comes with it. Changing the Chapter_default style only changes that style. It does not change the style of the pasted text. If you are going to use styles in a document, you would be well served to use Paste Special choosing Unformatted text instead of Paste. Using Paste Special this way, what you paste will use the Chapter_default style. You can also add some character styles from the Styles and Formatting dialog. One other item that many people do not recognize: The formatting toolbar contains the font name, font size, and these icons: bold, italic, and underlined. If you use any of these in a document, you have hard wired it into that part of the document. You can only change any of these settings by highlighting the area to be changed and then change it. You can not change it using the Styles and Formatting dialog (F11 key). I personally don't use the formatting toolbar for that reason. So, if you are going to use styles, the best way is to use the Styles and Formatting dialog exclusively. Use Paste Special - Unformatted text for pasting any text from another document. Thank you so much for this reply to James Wilde. You've also solved a problem for me. I never knew about this simple workaround. I had installed Wine and was using Notepad to strip formatting, then pasting it into Writer, then selecting and applying a specific style. It worked, but this is so much simpler! -- Have a blessed day! <>< Earl -- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
Fwd: Re: [users] Launching Difficulty
Original Message Subject:Re: [users] Launching Difficulty Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 08:23:42 -0800 From: Ernie Rosenberg To: joseph.con...@comcast.net HI Joseph, Thanks for your reply. I tried launching OpenOffice.org after restarting with the same non-launch. The Volume that its in is: OpenOffice.org 3.2 and it seems locked. Everytime I restart OpenOffice.org 3.2 is gone from the desktop and I need to reinstall it from OOo_3.2.1_MacOS_PPC_install_en-US.dmg. Any other suggestions on how to get a successful launch?\ Thanks, Ernie On 12/6/10, JOE Conner wrote: On 12/5/2010 8:19 AM, Ernie Rosenberg wrote: Hi, I just downloaded open office and installed it.. When I double-click the OpenOffice.org icon it seems to launch but actually nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ernie P.S. The disk appears locked and I don't know how to unlock it. Ernie, there is no disk and no lock if you download OpenOffice.org from www.openoffice.org. It is a free download, free to be used on as many computers as you want, As for it seeming to launch and not actually completing, that sometimes happens to me (I use WinXP Pro with sp/3). When I launch the taskmaster after this happening, I see multiple instances of soffice running. Killing these processes allows a successful launch of OpenOffice. Joe Conner, Poulsbo, WA USA Ernie, I do not own a MAC so I cannot offer any other solution. However, there are many users of MAC machines on the user's list, so you should direct your query to the list rather than direct to me, which will give those who may have insight into your problem the opportunity to reply. with this hope I am forwarding your email to the users list (users@openoffice.org). -- Joe Conner, Poulsbo, WA USA

Re: [users] RE: identify the location of installed add ons in windows vista
Dear Anubhav: Evidently you are using Oo on a windows (likely XP) platform. This is typical of Windows and Oo. However many users here are using Oo with various distributions of Linux and some on Macs. To those it all would be very different. As for Vista, the last time I backed up one of those, the whole thing was automated, so I didn't even need to look. When that Laptop is reassembled with a replacement screen, it will likely either run Fedora 14 64 bit or a multiple boot arrangement. Cheers, Bruce M.

[users] Open office with SAP BIW - RRMX or Bex
Dear All, We are using SAP - BIW . In that there is a transaction called RRMX which works to display the reports. This RRMX is linked to excel. If we have un-installed MS office & installed Open office, then it does not work. Can you let me know how Open Office Calc can be linked to SAP-BIW.
