[users] VERY slow saving over network in OOo

[Richard]

Have posted this on a OOo forum as well as here, if the same I apologise 
in advance but really need to solve this.


Have used OOo for some 7 years, changed my file server to Win7 Pro, now 
the saving of my reports takes forever and is completely unacceptable. 
My reports, when photos have been added can be 8 meg or so, but should 
not be the issue as the beginning of the report is simply text and still 
takes 10 to 20 seconds to save.


Had this problem several years ago (XP pro file server) and cant 
remember exactly what I did to solve it. Have no issues with other large 
files over the network like large pictures for example and obviously 
have all the sharing set up correctly on the File Server.


I recall a setting in OOo where a local save was made in auto save and 
then transferred to the file server? cant see this setting now though, 
have the latest OOo on my system, I also recall some memory settings, 
not the ones we see now, but others in respect of this saving and settings?


Frankly I don’t hold out much hope as I see this issue going way back 
without a solution, but if any ones else has experienced this and has a 
solution, I would be grateful, as it is driving me insane.

Joe,

I would suggest getting the Document Project's guide from 
http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/writer3/V3_3_revisions . 
Scroll down to Chapter 13, select the PDF and/or ODT verion.


The process outlined is the same process that is used to produce the

[users] MASTER DOCUMENTS

[JOE Conner]

What an interesting life I live.  I decided to create a master document 
for the first time, and that was a total exercise in frustration.

So, I began with the help file:


   To Create a Master Document

  1.

 Do one of the following:

  2.

 If you are creating a new master document, the first entry in the
 Navigator should be a *Text* entry. Type an introduction or enter
 some text. This ensures that after having edited an existing style
 in the master document, you see the changed style when viewing the
 subdocuments.

  3.

 In the *Navigator* for master documents (should open
 automatically, else press F5 to open), click and hold the *Insert*
 icon, and do one of the following:

  4.

 Choose *File - Save*.

Step one says do one of the following.  So far, so good.  I go to step 
two.  I open a text file and type some text.  No navigator appears, so 
per step 3 I press F5 (suggested in step 3, but since step 2 fails to 
work I am now doing things in step 3).  Guess what - there is no 
INSERTicon to press and hold.  So step 3 also fails.
  Now since step 1 says do ONE of the following, perhaps step 4 will 
work.  It does, sort of, but that is no different than saving any other 
text document.  So, I think step 4 also fails.


So, following the help steps to create a master document is a total 
failure.  Can some please tell me HOW to create a master document?

Go back to the OO.o site and be sure you download the English language 
version, I'd imagine. Is the computer language also English?

Re: [users] Lock formulas from being changed in Calc?

[Bruce_Martin]

All cells in a sheet are, by default left ready to be protected when the 
sheet as a whole is protected.


1) Select the cells to be left unprotected.
2) Go "format cells"
3) Select the "Cell protection" tab.
4) To make the cells editable after the rest is protected, Uncheck the 
box "protected"
5)  If you are going to sell your work in creating the spreadsheet, you 
may want to keep your formulas from being copied. For the cells in which 
there formulas exist, leave those cells protected, and check the "Hide 
Formula" box.


6) You can also choose to hide certain cells from printing, 
independently from whether they are visible on screen.


7) You must then select the sheet(s) to be protected, then go "Tools" 
and protect the sheets as a whole. This will require you to create a 
password. If you are doing this many times, I suggest you keep a record 
of the passwords in a password protected Calc workbook stored on a USB 
memory stick, so that most of the time the file is physically 
disconnected from your system or the internet.


8)Copyright/intellectual properties laws vary from country to 
country. Therefore if you are selling your work, you will want to have a 
contract from your clients first, which explicitly states in detail what 
you are licensing to the client and what you are not.


A dispute could result if the client was expecting to have access to the 
formulas and had not signed a contract to the contrary. Often a client 
will tacitly (unspoken) have such expectations.


If you are in the U.S.A., it is possible that your work could also be 
subject to export control laws of the U.S. Government, and before 
exporting, you should contact them to be sure you are legal.

Yes. The last version is from April 2010, but I have opened and edited
the file at least three or four times since. Even today I edited the
file, and no new version was saved.

Thanks for checking. I'll try to play around some more to make sure
that the problem isn't the meatsack at the keyboard (me, in this
case).
