[users] Shift+F5 does not work consistently
Good evening I am using OO3.2 on two Windows XP and one Ubuntu 10.04 machines (the latter only rarely, so I have not checked here). There is supposed to be a funktion - Shift+F5 - that will take you back to the last (cursor) postion when the document was saved. It does do so in some cases, but more often than not it does not work. Either the cursor does not move at all, or it jumps to a location I definitely did not use the last time I saved the document. Sometimes, the cursor jumps back to the last position, when I close the document and then reopen it, but then never again once I am in the document. I can have the cursor in a different position, save the document and try Shift+F5, but it always jumps back to the position when the document was last CLOSED, and not the last time it was saved. I checked also online: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6t=14794 (problem solved) where someone said: AFAIK the last working position is maintained on a per user basis. Well, I DO have my personal information entered. And reentered. So, did I check, reenter the key combination Shift+F5 under Tools-customize. Is there any intelligle reason, why this function works in some documents but not in others and within the same document depending on its mood (this think is like the weather: unpredictable). More important, is there any way to correct this erratic behavior? Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: [users] OOo Write - Letterhead for my Business Template
You can adjust the size and position of the frame regardless of where it's anchored, it doesn't need to be contained physically within the header. You'll want the wrap set to in background too, of course, so it doesn't affect text placement. The only way I know to have something on every page is to have it associated with the header or footer; text area content can't be made part of the page style, I don't think.

I even went to customize it and options like format or tools for footnotes that are referred to in help answers just aren't there. When I'm in open office, my Mac toolbar (meaning not the one on the word document but the one that is always at the top of the screen on a mac) disappears.

You'll want two sheets linked to your two data files and a third sheet (probably in front) in which to perform the comparison. I trust this helps. I think it does. I'll try it when I get back to that machine tomorrow. Let me double check one thing. If I use Insert | Sheet from File as you suggest, then is this spreadsheet updated with new data from the file anytime this spreadsheet is opened? Er, yes. If not, it wouldn't help with your problem! When you open the spreadsheet, you will see a dialogue asking if links to other files should be updated. If you wish to perform the update with the spreadsheet open, you can go to File | Reload (after saving any changes to the spreadsheet, of course) - which will stimulate the same dialogue.
