Re: [users] copying a single cell array formula by dragging it down
What is it you're trying to achieve by this formula?
I think your formula should be =if(sum($A$1:$A$10)=a12;sum($B$1:$B$10);0)
You're missing operators and OOo doesn't know what to do with the arrays
that you have defined. In the example I've given above Calc performs a
check that if the sum of A1-A10 equals the value of A1 in inserts the
sum of B1-B10 in the cell that contains the formula.
Does this answer your question?

The formula is as follows

When I drag it down the reference A12 does not change to A13,A14...etc.

Re: [users] Re: copying a single cell array formula by dragging it down
It's not the reference to the array that Ken is asking about, it's the reference to the single cell (A12). This should change as he drags the formula. Which in his case it doesn't. Arnold Huzen Joe Smith schreef: Ken Jolliffe wrote: I have written a simple single cell array formula but when I drag it down to copy to the cells below the relative reference does not change ... Calc handles drag-fills of array formulas differently than normal formulas. It expands the area covered by the original array formula rather than making new copies of it with the references adjusted. You can see this if you drag-fill your array formula, then type Ctrl+/ to select all cells belonging to the formula. You'll see that all the cells that you dragged into now belong to the one, original array formula. The references are not adjusted because there is only one formula. Instead of using a drag-fill, just copy the array formula cell and then paste it into the other cells where you want it. This will give you separate copies of the single-cell array formula, with the references adjusted as usual. You should be careful to understand what you're doing here: drag-filling an array formula often means that the user is confused: array formulas do their own reference adjusting without needing separate copies like normal formulas.

Then just add new data to the first empty row at the bottom. The summation formula would look something like =SUM(A2:A65536) and then you never have to worry about inserting.

Re: [users] A small problem in making labels
OOo's default is to recognize a URL and then turn it into a link. You can change this under Extra/Autocorrect (if I translate it right from my dutch version). Then click on the third tab called Options. The fifth one is the recognize URL-setting. Uncheck both boxes and OOo will no longer convert a URL to a link in excisting and new documents. Arnold Huzen Stan Goodman schreef: I have designed a sheet of labels in OOo v2.3.0. The content of each label includes an email address and a URL.

Re: [users] Paragraph borders
In OOo there are standard page-layouts for left and right pages. Open the Stylist with F11. On the top of the dialogbox you see a number of icons. The fourth from the left edits the pagelayouts. Rightclick on Leftpage and select edit. On the first tab you can tell OOo which page layout it should use as the next page. On the second page you can edit the margins of the page. In your case you should change the 'Next page' to right page and set up the margins like you discribed. Repeat the above actions for the right page layout. OOo will now change your left and right margins as you type on. Suppose you start on a right page, then OOo will automatically change to a left page when you reach the end of page 1. So you see, OOo can do that. The left and right page refer to the left and right pages of a book layout. They will have effect if you printout doublesided on your printer.

Re: [users] Updating ranges after inserting line
I usually keep an empty row or column between the data and the cell containing the formula if I expect that I wil insert rows or columns in the future. In the formula I include the empty cell. If I then need to insert a new cell in the range it will also extend the formula. In your example I would have the data in B2:B8, leave B9 blank and put the formula =SUM(B2:B9) in B10. As you do this you must keep in mind what the formula does that you use. In the above example it works just fine, because an empty cell makes no difference to the result. But in other functions that might be different. Arnold Huzen Adam Victor Nazareth Brandizzi schreef: Hi, people! I have a spreadsheet with a list of values, let's say, at the interval B2:B8.

Steve, A reason why you might want to do this procedure would be that you have data in column A (first names or street address) and in column B (last name or housenumber) that you want to join together in column C.

Although many people need to learn the hard way, to understand that computers sometimes can crash for no particular reason. Further the autorecovery function of OpenOffice is the best I've seen so far. I have never lost much work after a crash. But again you must save it prior to the crash.

Re: [users] OLE and DDE
Thanks for the response - is there not a way to automatically update the link as files move? I don't think that's something that we should really want to happen. That would mean that in case the link wasn't found at the original location, OO would start a search on your drives to find the file. Imagine what would happen if you had a lot of links in your document or in a network environment with lots of disks. And all of that just because although you know where the file is, you want the OO to find it automatically for you.

Larry, I'm so glad finally somebody asking the same question I'm struggeling with. I at one point asked CP Hennessy this question in an email that was addressed to him directly, but sadly never got an answer. I can understand that if you answer a question and forget to CC the OP that you send a second message to the list as well, to let us know that you saw your mistake. But what CP Hennessy is doing doesn't make sense. If he wants the member that sent the original answer to know that he forgot to CC the OP, then it's much more sensible to CC the member directly and not through the mailinglist. Looking at the number of messages he's sending it seems no one is listening. I've gotten to a point where I immediately delete all of his messages when I see more then one or two with his name in the sender.

I see a lot of questions on the list that are answered 3, 4 or more times at the same time by the members of the list. So there's not really a difference between the way this list works and the unsubscribed poster.

Re: [users] Audio
OOo only plays sound for the slide that the sound is attached to. I think there is an issue somewhere to change this.

Re: [users] Version1.0.1
This is usually caused by your virussoftware that mistakenly thinks that the OOo-installer is corrupt. You can try to install again, after you: 1. Disconnect your pc from the physically internet 2. Stop your virussoftware and firewall Now install openoffice. After this restart your virussoftware and firewall. Finally reconnect your pc to the internet.

Re: [users] [moderated] YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE
Surprisingly nobody answered your question yet. X11 is a windowsmanagement application that needs to be installed before OpenOffice can be used. You should find it on the installation disk of your OS. After that OpenOffice should work fine, starting with Writer as the default application. The other parts can be found under FileNew, or by opening a file you created earlier.

Re: [users] OpenOffice Installation Error
This is caused by your virussoftware that mistakenly thinks the installer is corrupt. Do the following to install openoffice. Remember never to connect your PC to the internet with your firewall and virussoftware disabled! 1. Fysically disconnect your PC from the internet 2. Disable your antivirussoftware and firewall 3. Install OpenOffice. 4. Shut down your PC 5. Reconnect to the internet 6. Startup the PC again. Usually this works just fine. If you want to be really sure if the installationfile is OK then you could do the MD5sum check.

Es decir, la revisión ortográfica aparenta que funciona pero no funciona. ¿Me podéis decir si esto es fácil de solucionar y cómo hacerlo?

Re: [users] odt
If you're going to send documents as text file then there is no need for any wordprocessor at all. In that case you can just use Notepad. Arnold Huzen John Meyer schreef: Probably better, unless you absolutely need the formatting, send it as a text file (virii-free) If you need it, print it to PDF and e-mail that. Paul wrote: That is more than likely due to the people receiving your file not having OpenOffice. You need to 'save as' then select a format that they have. This will likely be Office... so you should use MS formats. For writer documents look for a file format that ends in .doc. You could also try file send email as microsoft word... that could be alot easier... /paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
