[users] [calc]Howto keep solver specs between editing sessions
By solver specs I mean the data entered in the Solver dialog box, i.e. the data labelled: * target cell * Optimize result to * By changing cells * Limiting Conditions in that dialog box. Unfortunately, each time I exit calc and restart with the same file, I have to reenter this data. Is there anyway to save and retrieve the data?

[users] Styles: 'List; List 1; List 1 Start; Numbering 1; Numbering 1 Start; Numbering 1 End;' What are they?
I see these styles listed in the 'Styles and Formatting' window when I select, from the main menu, 'FormatStyles and Formatting'; however, when I try to find what the styles are in Help by entering, for example 'List 1 Start', all I get is either a hit on 'list' or a hit on 'start' or a hit on '1'. That's not much help. How can I find out what these styles do? I've been resorting to trial an error; however, so far I've not had much success. I did have some success with figuring out 'List 1 Start, List 1 Cont, List 1 End'. My conclusion was that this created ordered lists and the 'List 1 Cont' didn't start a new item but continued, with another paragraph, the previous item. However, trial and error is a time consuming and very error prone method for figuring out what a style means.

Numbering 1 Cont - Starts an unnumbered subparagraph that is at the same indentation as the last paragraph created with 'Numbering 1 Start.

Numbering 1 Cont paragraph. ... #end the numbering paragraphs with 'Numbering 1 End where the # in the above indicates the user has just clicked on the style described by the words following the 3 to somehow start or end the list of paragraphs. Note that this is intuitively what one used to html ol/li/eol would expect.

For example, when cursor is placed before the paragraph mark, and then Delete key pressed, nothing happens. Backspace has no effect either. I can't move the cursor with arrow keys.

Don't know about Ubuntu but in OOo 2.4.1 on Windows XP Pro I can click *inside* the HR and then Ctrl-X deletes it. After clicking in the HR I get green draggable handles at its corners and centres-of-sides; to me that implies the HR is a graphic and can be treated as such. For the paragraph mark, position the cursor to its left and hit backspace. Again, that works on my Windows system ... Sorry to reply to my own post. The above applies to HRs that are other than Plain. As Jonothon said, plain HRs are a paragraph style so click at its left end and change the style to, say, Default. Then delete the paragraph as normal. Thanks Harold and Jonathon. I tried clicking at its left with mouse-pointer-right (I think that's called mouse-pointer-3), and got a pop-up menu. Selecting Default (at top) rm'ed the HR. Thanks. The HR was produced by inserting several _'s starting at left margin, then hitting CR. After that, there was a paragraph mark above and below the HR; however, placing cursor to left of top mark and hitting backspace did nothing. I would have expected hitting delete would delete to the right of the cursor; however, that did nothing also. With two paragraph marks, one above the other, backspace does delete one(I guess the top one). So, is it impossible to delete the 1st paragraph mark to leave no paragraph marks in a document? -Larry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] how to expand insert reference formats?
In the following post: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/187973 I wondered whether a filter could be used to solve the problem of retrieving the item number of a particular list item in a numbered list. I thought maybe it could be done with a filter; however, since reading more about filters, that doesn't seem possible since they seem to deal with just importing and exporting and not updating an existing document. However, the 'update fields' command does something similar; hence, I'm wondering if there's someway to adapt that command or create a new one that does exactly what I want. To repeat what the OP requested, what I want is given a numbered list, e.g. 1. item_1 2. item_2 I want to set a reference at item_2 and then insert a reference to that reference in another part of the document. For example, I may want to say: See item 2. in another part of the document. However, instead of hard-coding the 2, I want the inserted reference to automatically update the refererence so that if I insert an item between 1. and 2., the inserted reference will show as 3. This can be done now if the inserted reference's format is Page; however, it just updates the page number, not the item number.

Cheers, Michele Docbook has a simple way of doing this. Attached are the input .xml file and the (pretty printed) output .html file. Also attached is the .xsl file doing the transformation. I read somewhere in OOoWriter docs about filters. I'm guessing that a filter is somewhat like the .xsl file in that it does some kind of transform on the doc. Maybe a filter could do this numbering semi-automatically. IOW, maybe as your composing the doc, the cross reference numbers might appear as ?num? and then after the filter is run they would have the proper numbers filled in. Are there any filter experts out there that could shed some light on this question? BTW, my motivation for this is that I've got a legal document from a lawyer, and he just left the paragraph reference number blank. I guess he anticipates inserting or deleting paragraphs and figured why hardcode the paragraph number in. I also have a similar document from another lawyer and the paragraph number was filled in; however, it was off by one, AFAICT. This illustrates the importance of having this automated. IOW, have a unique identifier (like the id attribute for an xml element), which the filter (or whatever) can use to retrieve or calculate the correct paragraph (or listitem) number. -Larry ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? !DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd; !-- Purpose: test how to reference an listitem number. -- chaptertitlechapter_1.title/title para Paragraph before orderedlist.

[users] [writer]customize keyboard:prior next keys?
When looking at the cusomize:keyboard tab (access from Tools menu), with Category=Naviage, I see in the Shortcut Keys screen, keys names with Prior and Next in their name. I've no Prior or Next keys on my keyboard. What keys are they on my (I guess) USA keyboard? Also, I guess if I want to change a certain key name to a different function, I have to find it with an existing function, and then change it there, because when the Keys screen is uneditable.

Also, where a the functions shown in the 'Shortcut Keys' screen documented. On function (the one attached to F9) is only list as 'fields'. When I press help, and then search for 'fields', nothing helpful appears. Where are these functions defined? It would be nice if the function names appearing in the 'Shortcut Keys' screen would be hyperlinked to the function defintion or description. Any chance of that happening?

I've no Prior or Next keys on my keyboard. What keys are they on my (I guess) USA keyboard? Under the Windows XP machine I am currently using, with OOo 2.4.1, the keys listed are: F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F5, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Down, Up, Left, Right, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Enter, Esc, Backspace, Insert, Delete. These are followed by “Shit-” and the same keys, then by “Ctrl-” followed by various keys. I don’t see “Prior” or “Next” anywhere. That's the first screen I see to; however, when I set Category=Navigate, I see the Next and Prior keys. After a little more trial and error exploring, I found that Next and Prior correspond to the PageDown and PageUp keys. However, there should be a link from each of these key names to their location of a keyboard; otherwise, questions like mine arise on this list :( Also, I guess if I want to change a certain key name to a different function, I have to find it with an existing function, and then change it there, because when the Keys screen is uneditable. Is that right? The Keys screen is editable if you mouse-press “Modify” and then use the panels below to associate that key with a function. But that is really the only editing you can do. So, the key combination has to be somewhere in the 'Shortcut Keys' screen in order to set or change it's meaning. I notice that some keys in the 'Shortcut Keys' screen are blank, and I guess if I don't want to change any existing keys, I choose one of those. For example, with Category=Havgate, I see Ctrl+Shift+Prior is blank; therefore, I can set this to any existing key functions. OTOH, if I prefer Ctrl+Shift+Home, for the function I want (e.g. 'Goto next input field' then I'd have to do without the short cut to the existing function associated with Ctrl+Shift+Home, i.e. 'Select to Document Begin'.

[users] [writer]duplicate input field names?
I created an input field with name=inp-fun-field0'. Then, a few lines down, I created another input field. I guess, by accident, I gave it the same name, inp-fun-field0. Isn't that a bug? I'd expect the input field names are unique; otherwise, that's the purpose of the name? If the name is only a description, then maybe I could understand it, but 'name' at least to me, suggests a unique value. Help search for 'input field' did show an 'Input Field' link; however, when I went there, it had, in bold, Input Field, but didn't mention anything about unniqueness of the name.

If you put text or number 1 in first of duplicate field entry and 2 in second, what happens then? Do both go to second value when used? If so - overwriting is allowed. If not, The application programmer needs to answer your question. I assume case and such are also matching because differing case means differing variables. The norm is: Each variable has to be unique in order to be discernible. The exception occurs in Excel. When line 1 has the same text in different columns and the file is written out as a CSV, duplicate field names are kept. Excel, when making CSV or DBF files, voids the rules and neither are then directly usable in data base work. Excel is position based only. Labels mean nothing. I recently had to work with a set of files in which each had three different field names repeated 36 times each. I had to write a black box to straighten them (several hundred files) out for subsequent use. Steve norseman Steve, Your mention of Excel suggests your'e talking about OOCalc, not write, the word processor. My problem was with the word processor (I thought the [writer] in subject line would indicate that). To answer your question, the two entries seem completely independent. I can change the value in one and it's not reflected in the other. Is that the intention or is there a bug in my OOoWriter.

[users] [writer]insert ref; set ref; insert ref just shows ref name
These are the steps to reproduce the problem: Insert:Fields:Other:ReferencesTab:Set Reference:Name=ref0 At this point, the Value field is unwritable; so, I just press the close button. This results in a small shaded portion in the document. When the cursor is placed over this shaded portion, a small window contains Reference:ref0 overlays the document. After a few carriage returns, I do: Insert:Fields:Other:ReferencesTab :Insert Reference:Select=ref0:Format=Page This causes a shaded ref0 to appear in the document where I would have expected a 1 because that's where the :Set Reference: was done. Isn't that a bug. Also, what's the purpose of the unwritable value field during the :Set Reference:? I would have expected that some value could be entered in this field and then that value would appear on the page. Obviously I'm missing something and the help doesn't help because under Format it says the Page format should insert the number of the page containing the target (and by target I assume it means where the :Set Reference: was done). Do I have a bug or is there just something I'm missing. The about under help shows at the bottom: openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.Mon Jun 30 11:50:15 UTC 2008 Thanks for any help. -Larry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] OOwriter equivalent of html p tag?
In a numbered list, there's several items in which I want several paragraphs; however, whenever I hit carriage return, the next numbered item appears instead of just another paragraph under the current item. What I need is someway to emulate the html p.../p or the xml para.../para; however, I can't figure how to do that. The closest I've got is a manual line break.

The only way I can signal a separate paragraph is to do this twice, leaving an empty line. I'd rather just have the first line indented a certain amount to signal a new paragraph. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It will keep your paragraph, but undo the autonumber. Thanks, Dotan; however, I tried Ctrl-Z and that just undid the return (IOW, the number was deleted and the cursor moved up to the previous line).
