Só funcionam direito as cores dos caráters.

Solicito o favor de me indicar a maneira de obter o funcionamento normal

As Markus Frei wanted to say, the 2.0 version already support 64k rows.
It's just a matter of downloading it from your native language official site.

Re: [users] Double locale

[Asrail]

Michele Zarri, 08-12-2005 15:47:


I am working on the localization of OOo in Italian and I would really like
to be able to have both UIs so that I can check how certain menu items have
been translated.
Since I use OOo for work, I am not really happy to switch permanently to the
Italian version.

Is there a simple way to achieve  the double user interface?



In OOo 2.0 you can, in OOo 1.1 you would have to install it twice.

In Tools->Option->Language settings-->Languages-->User interface, you 
can choose the language.

The available languages have a blue check mark and a superscript ABC.

You can download OOo 2.0 language packs here:

Re: [users] Makefile failed, disk is full

First off, thanks for taking the time to help me out. I am using a 
freeBSD OS system and I thought it would be really cool to install Open 
Office.org 2.0 (development version). Well, I saw that it would need 
~9GB, but I kind of ignored it and figured 7GB would be enough... It 
wasn't. My system didn't crash or anything, but now my /usr "folder", 
"drive", I don't know what to call it, is now full. Could you guys 
please tell me where the makefile extracts the temporary object files, 
so I can delete them? I am unable to login as anything other than root, 
because if I try the login fails saying that the disk is full.


Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Re: [users] Openoffice 2.0 fails to start/close

Naveen Agarawal, 19-11-2005 07:15:

I am using openoffice 2.0 in a multiuser environment in fedora core
4. Most often it fails to start up. When I look at the process table
I find many soffice processes (soffice and soffice.bin) for each user
although the program is not running at that time. I have to kill
these processes manually and then it starts up. Same thing happens
while closing. It just freezes and I have to resort to killing the
process manually. What can be the reason?

Re: [users] openoffice in a multilanguage environment

Is it possible to use openoffice in a multilanguage environment? I know 
I can change the dictionaries etc, but is it possible to change the 
language of the user interface and the help files without installing 
multiple version of openoffice.




In OpenOffice.org 1.1 you can't do that, but in OOo 2.0 you can.
It's just to install the program, then add the language packs you desire.
The User interface language may be changed from the option:
Tools-->Options-->Language Settings-->Languages-->User Interface.

Re: [users] odt file format.

Naomi Kramer, 23-10-2005 22:59:

There's a few different options I can think of:

   * You could update to OOo 2.0, which will mean you can share
 documents very easily
   * You could update to OOo 1.1.5, which can read .odt files (right,
 people? but if he's using features not available in 1.1.5, his
 documents might not come through perfectly)
   * He could save his files in .sxw format (but this might have the
 same problem as the above option)
   * You could both save your files as .pdf files, and use Acrobat
 Reader to open them (but you won't be able to edit them)

Can anyone think of any others?



Yes, a OOo viewer wich he can use to view the .odt (but not to edit).

JOSE RUIZ HUIDOBRO, 23-10-2005 18:57:

Dear Sirs:

I have installed Openoffice in my computer.  When I try yo open a file 
which is in any MS Office (Excel, Word, Access, Powerpoint, etc) format 
it will be opened directly by OpenOffice without giving me the chance to 
decide if I want to open ot in OpenOffice or in a MS Office format.


Is there any way to control this?  i.e. any way to decide, beforehand, 
if a certain file written, say in Word, is to be opened with Word or 
with OpenOffice writer?


Clicking with the right button of the mouse, choosing the option "Open 
with..." and choosing OOo.

I think you should consider subscribing to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. There are 
more developers there (the list is not as massive as this).

See http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html#general

You can't use Java1.5 to build OOo. Use Java1.4 for this.

You can install OOo 2.0 without uninstalling OOo 1.1.5 from your computer.

Later you can remove 1.1.5 when you desire.

Is recommended to repair the installation of 2.0 after uninstall 1.1.5.

In OOo you use page breaks instead of section brakes.
Also you have to use different page styles and set the number of columns 
in the style.


You can add the page break with the menu Insert-->Manual break-->Page break
and change the style for the one you desire.

#ooonlc is for native lang related topics

I've helped some users and I think #openoffice.org is a channel where

Creating a new channel is not very helpfull, because we would got a few

I have a document with a table in it. I don't want a page break after the

The break checkbox in Format -> Table -> Text Flow (tab) is unchecked.

Anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this page break?
Try "Don't split table" in the same dialog.

Also, how do I see the page breaks? I have the Nonprinting characters on and 
I can see paragraph marks and spaces, etc, but not page breaks.
It's a thin blue line at the top of the page right after the brake.

The shortcoming with this is that it only removes paragraph breaks, not

which is what I understand the OP wants to achieve.

The list of regular expressions in OOo Help doesn't address that "line

Re: [users] Open Office Question

[Asrail]

Doug Carns, 02-04-2005 14:18:
I installed OpenOffice 2.0, and I want to make it the default program 
for .doc and .xls extensions.  I must have missed that step in the 
installation where it asks if you want to make it the default.  MY 
question is, how to I chage the defaults so that .doc and .xls will be 
open by OpenOffice?

The easiest way is to repair the setup.

Re: [users] CSS in html is not saved permanently

[Asrail]

Paul, 28-03-2005 19:45:
To be honest I would recommend that using a proper HTML editor would
be better in this instance. Whilst you can save as html from OOo, I do
not imagine the developers are expecting it to be a full blown HTML
editor as such.
Open Source editors (such as nvu - http://www.nvu.com) would be my suggestion.
I've to agreed with Paul.
The HTML editor of OOO is intended just to you be able to export the 
contents of your job to HTML without the need of any other program  or 
HTML skills.
It's not intended to be a HTML editor fully featured.

Re: [users] Suggestion - "As you are not subscribed....."

Stephan Matthiesen, 23-03-2005 12:29:
1. Make a list archive that is visible to everybody that has some kind of 
threaded view.

2. When somebody posts a question and is not subscribed, he gets an automatic 
reply (as it is now) with says the following
"Please note that you are not subscribed to the list and therefore may not 
receive all answers. You can see your post and all replies in the list 
archive under
http://url.to.the.archive/correct.thread
Please also check this URL for any replies."

(The URL should somehow be generated automatically to link exactly to the 
correct thread).

That way
- nobody has to look out if the OP is subscribed or not when replying
- nobody has to resend messages
- the OP can be sure to have access to all replies.

Oh  NO, this discussion again...
1. It is. Do you know gmane? 
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions

2. He gets it, try sending a message throw a unsubscribed mail to the list.

No Bruce, it happens sometimes with other styles. This is an old issue

In my experience, it only happens if Left and Right page styles are used 
somewhere in the document. If the document never uses those styles, the 
problem doesn't arise.


I appreciate your experience. It can be true to OOo 1.1.x, but it is not 
to OOo 2.0 beta. Can you create a new text document, insert a manual

you got?
I got 3, whatever style I use, including "Default" :p.

There has been talk about the incompatibility between OOo 1.1.x file

I have to do a full re-install or is there a way to do it with what I have on

Is it an official install from OOo? If not, ask for the one who did it.
Some distros make some changes to OOo. I don't know about Mandrake.
Is the version 1.1.0? If so consider upgrading.

Re: [users] Auto Save

Is there a way to use the auto save option without having it prompt you
every stinking time it tries to save the file? I have "checked" the auto
save box but the prompt to save box is clear. Still every time it tries to
save I am prompted, this is extremely annoying. How do I stop this from
happening?
If the document is a new one (was never saved and is called Untitled#), 
you'll still goting the prompts. If it happens in another document, 
sounds like a bug so.

Re: [users] Re: New Snapshot = New Profile. Why?

Asrail said on 12.02.2005 18:36:
Peter Reaper, 12/2/2005 11:23:
Every new version or snapshot of OOo creates a brand new profile. Why? I
have to redo all my settings and preferences every time.
I realize the snapshots are for testing, but still... :-(
Also, why does every version or snapshot of OOo create a separate
installation directory (\OpenOffice.org 1.9.77\)?
At this stage (near 2.0), it seems OOo should be able to *update* the
installation and profile data.

It shouldn't, as I said. It updates from one version to another, like 
from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4, but 1.9.74 and 1.9.77 are intended to be *the same* 
version.
These are developer builds. If you don't like the way it's you can keep 
using the stable builds, like 1.1.4.


No. It isn't beta yet. This "update" won't exist in a real 
instalation, i.e., the purpose is to verify if it creates a new 
profile without any kind of problem. 

So at almost 2.0 OOo still isn't confident it can create a new profile 
reliably? Mozilla has been doing this since *way+ before even 1.0. This 
just confirms my impression that OOo has still not leaned the lessons 
mozilla has been demonstrating to the open source community, namely 
usability and simplicity for the *user*.

Update is a thing diferent, so may occur some bugs just because of it. 
Also it still chaanging a lot of things.

The installation folder should contain no settings files, so a simple 
deletion of all files in \OOo\ just before installation should suffice.

As far as the profile is concerned, there should be relatively few 
changes at this stage, and when they do occur, the programmer should be 
required to include a migration module. I have never even heard of this 
being a problem in 3+ years of mozilla development. :-\

Don't joke guy. When installing development versions of Mozilla they say 
to you uninstall the older version and delete the profile. One of the 
first smoke testes of Mozilla is *"to create a new profile"*. Also 
Mozilla, since the begin, changed more than once the way the profiles 
are created. They also changed the profiles folder. Mozilla says that 
you have to create new profiles when installing a major version, because 
may there to be incompatibilities. This happened with me while playing 
with firefox some time ago. After all, some plugins for firefox and 
mozilla don't work with your profile if it is so old.

..."mozilla development"... How many nightly builds of Mozilla have you 
used in your life? Check my headers, look at the "User agent" info, do 
you see I am using a nightly build of Thunderbird? (look at the data of 
release and look for the data of the last oficial release of TB).
Some of the nightly builds of TB I used were impratical to use because 
they hadn't a complete UI (when they changed it, it last something 
around a week)!

Do you use the 'development versions' of Mozilla and never noticed 
anything strange? Or do you wanna compare a development version with 
stable ones (like Mozilla 1.7.4 to 1.7.5)?

Try a mozilla nightly build of, lets say, today. I hope it doesn't crash 
either require a larger amount of memory either you got any troubles 
with javascript either...
