I will have to search AOO on my available Linux repositories to see what they come up with. to me, the main reason so many went from Oo th LibO is because when Oracle bought out sun, people were afraid that Oo would (figuratively) become "less open". I tend to feel that a main open source app of this importance should be a true .ORG with no possibility of being used as a "front" (i.e. repeated enticement) to get people to go for paid products. Ads on the side of the web page just enough to pay for the site, is one thing, but I think more than that, many people are silently fearful of too much commercial aggressiveness, direct or indirect. Actually my background is more industrial electronics and heavy industry than true IT. Now retired, I tend to make some gadgets myself from scratch, or near scratch, especially if, by doing so I can have added benefits from them in terms of: -durability -interchangeability -home shop repairability -other features not available on the market, especially if I think those features are ones that the market may be reluctant to make available, possibly because they would be "market busters" and jeopardise the sales of existing products. I have been doing this for decades, and some of these items have been in service for as much as 40 years. I also make some of my own tools. Out of the box? Yes! Best Regards, all Bruce M.

At present, I am using a combination of XP and Fedora (32 and 64 bit). LibO comes by default with Fedora 32 or 64 bit, Version 15 and up. There is a whole new system every 6 months.

I think Microsoft has made a big mistake, because Windows 8, at least as it now stands, restricts your computer, which has to be updated anyway with touch screen capability, to only that OS. You cannot dual boot, for instance, and if you have legacy programs you can't use them. At least, as of now, anyway.:-) -- - To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

Dear Jeff: I also have used Oo for presentations during the 4 years I was in Toastmasters. At that time I was using it on an XT platform. Since the purchase of Sun by Oracle, I have gone to LibreOffice, but much is the same. I also use LibO on Fedora 16, and with double screens on my laptop, I use the external screen for the audience (or it could equally be a projector) and the Laotop screen for the speaker's screen. When I use my presenter, both screens change in synchronism. On the speaker's screen there are 3 parts: 1) is a small image of the image on the audience screen, so I can see where that is at without the need to turn my back to the audience. 2) is a similar image, but of the next screen to come up. 3) is a larger window with the annotatons (AKA "teleprompter"). This is a real help if the content of the speech/presentation is complex. Also it can speed getting back on track if you have an unexpected audience distraction. One more thing I have seen a great and too often neglected need for: Wherever in a speech or presentation, the content is dependent on the audience grasping the interrelations between a complex (often circumstantial) arrangement of interacting concepts, especially if those concepts are abstract ones, I have developped a strategy based on Draw. I call this "organnigrammes". Organnigrammes is simply the French word for flowcharts. I used the French word in English to infer a distinction between traditional flowcharts and what I have done. First, I downloaded a simple screen of traditional flowchart symbols from the web. I then vectorised them and thence made variations of my vectorisations to represent added "Graphic vocabulary" to the project. More recently, I had to add symbols for the Boolean algebra concepts, AND, OR, NOT. For this, being an electronic technician, I vectorised they symbols used for AND and OR gates, added the little circle when a negation or inversion was needed, added text labels inside, and there it was. I also had created symbols to indicate reiterative loops and a few more. Aside from technical presentations, I see this as being a practical way to efficiently document and communicate personality sketches between managers, HR people and psychologists. (Note the ethical considerations are independent of the tools, as only humans can make such moral judgements, thus abrogating any such complaints that could be made against the tools rather than the user's use of them.) Since I save all the vectorised pieces in all the Draw work I do, they add ongoing to my working library. I also have a lot of tricks I use to do the tasks that a true CAD app would do better, and Draw does not do directly. Note that scale is a setting of Draw, not the .ODG file, so it may be expedient to have an extra page at the end for scraps and annotations of such items as scale and grid settings used for each file. To me the biggest caveat is that Draw has a math accuracy limit of only about 3 decimal places, rather than, say 12 for a true CAD app. Therefore in some cases I have to use a callout to show exact dims. This may help some out there who do presentations. On 3/15/2012 00:31, Jeffrey Deutsch wrote: Hello, Some time back, I posted asking for advice with OpenOffice.org's Impress.
