These should really be changed to the equivalent of shift-return so each verse counts as a single paragraph for formatting purposes, while 'end of paragraph' should correspond to end of verse.

Re: [users] Question on Ubuntu Upgrade to 10.04
If you do a soft upgrade, you won't lose your customization since it is stored in the user profile (should be the default, else you need to run OOo as root). Beware of the soft upgrade, it can lead to a not that stable system because old files can still cause troubles. I prefer having several partitions and make a clean install from scratch to have a brand new system. Partitions are useful to keep your data in a location completely separated from the OS part.

Re: [users] soffice.bin = highly dangerous??
Buying something in a shop doesn't mean that the product is well functionning! TrendMicro release some cheap applications IIRC, so it may be based on not that good code. And I think this is the case too. You should check the web about that product, there should be some benchmarks. Note that there are performant free anti-virus too. For the crappy OS, I rather agree too! Windows is sold in many shops, it's not really bug free and it can lead to additional costs (anti-virus, firewall, anti-spywares, ...). The underlying message was in fact: check other OSes like GNU/Linux (they don't need all these security applications). But it depends on your use of your computer perhaps.

Thomas Thomas, there seem to be several different programmes which call themselves «VirusBuster», one a rogue anti-spyware programme ( http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg4k34 ), and the other a presumably legitimate AV-protection.

As a workaround, you can create a character style with white font and number the Heading 1 titles with the numbering but with that character style. The numbering won't appear in the text.

Try to reset your OOo user profile perhaps but don't transfer your personal data during the welcome process if you had 2.x installed before, configuration files from the former version might corrupt the new profile.

Re: [users] Having dictionary problems in OOo 3.0.?
Hi James, Sorry to come back that late for your issue. I think you've been hit by a bug in the Australian dictionary that messed up the language configuration of many users. As it has been corrected meanwhile, you have downloaded the right version the second time. Note that you don't have to restart your computer, just OOo and the quickstarter have to. For your custom word list, it should be the standard.dic file in the /wordbook folder, it can't be in the spell checking files. So just copying it from the old profile to the new one should do the trick. Just make sure that this custom dic is ticked in the language options, it wasn't on my system when I upgraded IIRC. Hagar Le 18.12.2008 08:31, James Elliott - WA Rural Computers a écrit : After mucking around for three days I have finally managed to install and English (Australia) dictionary. Here are the steps I followed which might be of some use to others who have lost their version 2.4, or earlier, dictionaries. I use Windows XP and have installed the Australian dictionary, but you can make the necessary changes to install your own language dictionary under your own OS. 1. Download the English (Australian) dictionary from: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/AustralianDictionary (thanks, Manfred, for the URL) 2. Save the dictionary file to a folder you can locate later. 3. Open OOo Writer (ver 3.0) 4. Click on: Tools Extension Manager ADD button 5. In the 'Open' dialogue box, navigate to the folder where you saved your dictionary file and double click on it (which will open it, and add it to the list in Extension Manager) 6. Restart your computer 7. Open OOo Writer 3.0 8. Click on: Tools Options Language Settings Writing Aids Edit, and select English (Australia) (make sure the Hunspell SpellChecker box is ticked) 9. Close back to Language Settings, and this time click on Languages 10. Configure Languages as below: -- User interface: Default -- Locale setting: English (Australia) -- Decimal separator key: tick 'same as locale setting' -- Default currency: English (Australian) -- Default languages for documents: English (Australia) (there should be a large tick before the words English (Australia) if the dictionary is properly installed) This worked for me and I hope it helps someone else.

Re: [users] Dictionaries for v3
Thanks Thomas, Yes, I know about the Beta 1 / Beta 2. I was answering Guy's message. Perhaps the Beta 1 folder has been kept with the old files. BTW, I found my problem with a remaining English (South Africa) dictionary that had been kept by OOo (appeared with the ABC V tickmark) even if I had removed all the dictionary files and cleaned the linguistic.xcu file: there was a remaining linguistic.xcu file in /opt/ooo-dev3/share/uno_packages/cache/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office. That file is taken into account when running OOo and the user version of the language configuration is therefore wrong!

Dear Ladies/Sirs,
I've been glad to use Open Office for almost 1 year, but I've found some
problems I would like to share with You.
My hope, of course, is that they will be solved in the next OOreleases.
I'm from Italy, so I hope you won't be sorry for my lame English.
Program Version: Writer, in the OO Suite 2.4.0 (Italian)
Used Pc's: Compaq Presario F500ea + a 5 year old Packard Bell desktop pc
1st problem: Spell and grammar check
I've been experiencing heavy delays while using the spell checker.
a.. When I start the spell check (by pressing F7, for example), it takes a LOT of time
between one operation and another, even if I simply click Ignore in the spell
check window. (sometimes more than 20 seconds per operation, even on the presario, which
is quite new and fast with videogames)
b.. While doing this, Writer seems to be going to crash: sometimes I get long waiting times with the
sandclock cursor showing, some other times I try to click in the window, and the top bar reads
Open Office (Busy) (Open Office (Non risponde), in italian). After stucking in this
condition for several seconds, the program goes on with the check (at the same slow speed).
a.. I've experienced similar delays also while using the real time spell
check, the ones Which activates while you tipe.
b.. If I right-click a red-underlined wrong word to get spell suggestions,
the program stucks for about ten seconds, and then it shows the right-click
menu with suggestions et cetera.
a.. Such delays are really a pain the neck: I bypass them only exporting the
documents in .doc format and then checking with the MS Word spell check.
b.. I think these delays may be caused by the presence of ALL of the language
supports in the installed program. Of course, I'm not sure, it could also be a
problem with the check engine or anything else.
2nd problem: Layout copy tool
a.. I'm also having problems with the layout copy tool (the blue brush just on the
right of the paste icon).
b.. Bulleted list: problems with the levels. If I copy a layout of bulleted
list level 2 or higher onto a unlisted paragraph, i always get a level 1 list.
c.. Sometimes it even DOESN'T apply the list layout as a whole.
d.. The layout copy tool often deletes a part or the whole of the font layout (bold, italics...), although I press CTRL while pasting the layout
3rd problem: Commas
a.. If I activate the automatic substitution of normal commas (' and ) with typographic
commas, I logically get typographic commas in the text. That's perfect.
b.. AFTER THAT, if I look for a phrase including commas (from the CTRL+F
command), I cannot find any such expression (The expression is in the text, i'm
sure because I actually typed it in)
c.. Solution: I think this happens because the CTRL+F command does NOT recognise
typographic commas, but just the normal ones, which are autosubstituted while
typing in the text.
These are the main problems I've encountered.
I hope this notification will be useful... OpenOffice is a real huge project,
and it'd be great to be part of it!
Best regards
Matteo Bosisio

What is not clear on that page is that you need to create a folder called 'dictionaries', hence my post : http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=366#p366 Hagar Le 03.03.2008 22:49, NoOp a écrit : On 03/03/2008 07:27 AM, Gordon wrote: is this possible? http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html quote OpenOffice.org Dictionaries and Thunderbird Alternatively, OpenOffice.org also uses dictionary files compatible with Thunderbird. To install the OpenOffice.org dictionaries, copy the *.dic and *.aff files from the zip file to the components/myspell directory of your Thunderbird installation. You can also change the _ in both filenames to -, for example rename es_ES.aff and es_ES.dic to es-ES.aff and es-ES.aff. This causes the spellcheck dialog to report the language and country and not just the filename. /quote - 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]
