So throw your AV and your best spyware programs at the disk and see what you get. If it's not truly random, then I'd suspect cockpit error. Random means the images will be there today and you've seen them by reopening the files, and tomorrow or so,me tim,e later they are gone. That's going to be more likely something you're doing wrong.

Michael Neillis CC'd to OP A9 means Column A, Row 9 A simple search of the Calc Help File for POWER yields: Example =POWER(4;3) returns 64, which is 4 to the power of 3. =4^3 also returns 4 to the power of 3. A simple search of the Calc Help File for FRACTION yields: You can enter a fractional number in a cell and use it for calculation: Enter "0 1/5" in a cell (without the quotation marks) and press the input key. In the input line above the spreadsheet you will see the value 0.2, which is used for the calculation. If you enter "0 1/2" AutoCorrect causes the three characters 1, / and 2 to be replaced by a single character. The same applies to 1/4 and 3/4. This replacement is defined in Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Options tab. If you want to see multi-digit fractions such as "1/10", you must change the cell format to the multi-digit fraction view. Open the context menu of the cell, and choose Format cells. Select "Fraction" from the Category field, and then select "-1234 10/81". You can then enter fractions such as 12/31 or 12/32 - the fractions are, however, automatically reduced, so that in the last example you would see 3/8. -- Gene Young - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
[users] Transfer data from spreadsheet
Friends, I have been using OOO Writer with enthusiasm for years and don't know why I can't figure this out but I can't although I have read the relevant instructions too many times to count. I keep my work dates and hours on a Calc spreadsheet. When I try to transfer the data to a Writer doc by dragging or by clipboard/paste, the result is always just three lines of data. When I try to "edit", I can't resolve the issue. How do I get ALL the rows to appear on the word processing document? MSR Using OOO v.3.2.1 on MacBook 7,1 on OSX6.6
