[users] Verify bug in OOo Web Browser Preview
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=415074 I am running Linux, is someone able to reproduce this bug? I don't want to open a bug report on something that I cannot test for a few days. User has: Calc on Windows 7 64-bit, IE or Chrome Part of the statement is as follows: I am using OOo Calc. I have a document with several sheets, some contain data, others contain graphs. In Calc, I click FilePreview in Web Browser. It displays the document very nicely in my browser (either Chrome or IE8). However, to display the graphs, OOo creates .jpg files in a temporary folder, and the HTML of the page OOo has created has the wrong file path for these files, so they do not display. I think this must be a bug in OOo, because it repeats part of the file path, and it seems that if I repeat the process described above, the file path gets longer each time, by further repetitions of the same part, as I mentioned in my original post. Mabb, as an admin, I have access to your direct email address, so I chose to Blind Carbon Copy you on this email so that you will know that it was sent but others cannot see your email address (and I did request permission for it to be known). Will see if we have any responses. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Than YOU, modestuka...@gmail.com mailto:modestuka...@gmail.com [The OP is not subscribed and probably will not see responses unless directly copied.] What you've encountered is that OpenOffice.org uses a different scripting language, not Microsoft's Visual Basic, for macros. This can't properly be called a bug, it was a considered design decision -- whether for legal purposes or something else, maybe somebody else on the list will discuss the rationale. As to what you can do, I think you'll either need to translate the macros into the OOo format, or continue using Excel. I'm including a quote here from the OpenOffice.org Migration Guide: Macros written in VBA for Excel do not work in Calc and macros written in StarBasic for Calc do not run on Excel. Re-writing of macros is required when moving spreadsheets between either application. Some additional resources for writing Basic macros include: “Porting Excel/VBA to Calc/StarBasic” http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/various_topics/VbaStarBasicXref.pdf StarOffice 8 Programming Guide for BASIC, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0439 “Useful Macro Information for OpenOffice”, by Andrew Pitonyak, http://pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt OpenOffice.org Macros Explained, by Andrew Pitonyak, available from the publisher: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm or from various online booksellers.

James, maybe he's stupid, maybe he's just trolling, maybe he's collecting business intelligence for one of our competitors.

Continued abuse, either accidental or intentional, can be prevented by pruning that header from the message before it goes out to all subscribers: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=113372 It's a machine's job and, for good quality mailing list software, very quick to implement. You are right - and thanks for filing the issue - but that last condition (good quality mailing list software) may be the catch: Months ago, in discussion about another mailing list problem, Paul said that the list manager software is really beyond community control - but that IAC change is on the way, which should address many of these problems. In the meantime, one might hope that courtesy would prevail. The notification appears to be a holdover from MS Exchange / Outlook combinations which cause large volumes of messages to be lost without even an error message. Interesting! Could you provide a little more detail, or a link? Thanks, John I don't have a link, but keep in mind that the original intention of Outlook/MSExchange code was never meant for the intERnet; it was designed for the intRAnet, which would normally occur within a LAN, not the WAN. Outlook Express was MS's attempt at an internet version that could span both inter and intra nets. In those original days there was little problem but progress and evil quickly took over. I really have to ask: Why is it an issue, really, when each person has their own control over whether a receipt request is honored, denied, or asked which action to take?

[users] Interesting bug in master document navigator
I'm using 3.2.0 on a Mac under OSX 10.6.2. I have a master document in which the navigator shows all the documents I have imported. There are more than a pageful so I have a scroll bar. I have discovered to my surprise that I cannot use the down arrow in the scroll bar to scroll down. I can pull the do-hickey in the scroll bar down, of course and thus get to see the titles of the 13th and subsequent documents, and when I am down in the list I can use the up arrow to scroll back. But I can't use the down arrow. I have just checked, and, if the navigator window is selected, I can also use the up and down arrows on my keyboard. I'm using the word up and down arrow in two different ways here. The first ones I refer to are the two little triangles pointing up and down at the bottom of the scroll bar (on the Mac - on Windows the up is at the top and the down at the bottom). The ones in the last sentence of the previous paragraph are the ones on my keyboard. Not a big deal, but somebody might be interested. //James - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

When I open the master document - by selecting it from a folder in the dock, I am asked whether I wish to update the links. I answer yes, and when the document has opened, the navigator is also opened automatically, showing the list of chapter documents. This feature that the navigator opens automatically is new, since I started using a master document. It now happens whatever type of document I open, whether it is a subdocument of the master document, a new document or a previously existing one. If I take OOo 3.2.0 on OS X 10.6.2 and view the links using the Edit menu: Edit-Links Links is greyed out on the Edit menu, even when I close the navigator.

[users] Selection bug / possible KDE integration bug due to linking pictures
Hi everybody I'm experiencing very strange behaviour with Kubuntu 9.04 / 9.10 and OO 3.x both distributed versions and manually installed ones, which makes Open Office practically unusable. Scrolling in the slide selector on the left in the default view makes it always jump back to the selected slide. Selecting slides in slide sorter immediately unselects everything. The selected slides flash which seem to indicate its some sort of focus bug. More testing revealed that this is related to linking pictures. I can generate the bug with the following: - Create presentation - Add linked picture - Copy the page several times lets say 30 times Can anybody reproduce this? Under windows and Ubuntu from a stick this is no issue only under KDE I get this problem.

No you will not be able to see the Notes during the presentation unless you use the Sun Presenter Console: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/presenter-screen However, be aware that you can only use this if you have the system/laptop set to display the slide show on an external screen/projector. In that case you can view the Notes on the screen of the system/laptop, and the audience will see only the presentation on the external screen projector.

I just updated my List style with a Paragraph indenting of 0,40 before text and -0,20 on the first line. It's also got a Bullets and Numbering tab stop at 0,40, aligned at 0,00 and indented at 0,20. When I apply this style to new lists, however, it sets the Paragraph indenting to 0,50 before text and -0,25 on the first line, and the Bullets and Numbering tab setop to 0,50, aligned at 0,25 and indented at 0,50. Why is it doing this? Is my only choice to manually reapply these settings to every list then or am I missing something fundamental? Thanks! -- http://www.home.no/reddvinylene
[users] Strange bug when saving to doc format
Normally I never save to anything but ODF or PDF, but I am doing one thing, just for once, for a guy I know who is an absolute computer idiot so I can hardly ask him to install something, no matter how easy it seems to be. So I need to save as Microsoft Word. The files I am going to do for him are made by me years ago in Word, but these days I don't use Word anymore for several reason, one of them is that I haven't found the Linux version… Let's look at my problem: I open the old doc files, which is originally created in Word '97 or Word 2000, not sure about that though, modify them and save them using Save As. I save them with the same name but in a different folder, using the Word format. Among other things the document contains a logotype which is partially transparent. When opening the newly saved file, the tranparense is gone and replaced by white which is not good since the background behind the logotype is not white. Is there a workaround for this, other than saving in another format? I tried the PDF format once but this guy is so incredibly stupid (with computers) so he couldn't just make it right when printing it out… It was either misplaced on the paper or zoomed in or out and he just didn't understand anything I tried to explain, so I just gave it up. For some strange reason he seems to be able to handle Word a bit, so I figure that's the easiest solution… Even if I actually visit him at home and ”educate” him, five minutes later he will still understand absolutely nothing. Some people are just not interested in learning new things, they just want their job done… J.R. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] Re: Bug?
Hi Joe I think the help files are writen in the wiki by different people - this means - with different languages for example the decimal sign in Germany is a komma, in Englisch notations its a dot. The Writer-Applications don't transmit all this signs korrect. Only in calc-cells the conversion between the native keys is right. To transform texts is very difficult and so are some help texts incomprehensibly or with specific failures. I have this problems also with the correspondence to foreign subsidiaries.

In Calc when I type in a number like a part number, it automatically destroys my entry and makes it a date. I tried changing the format to number and it still ruins the spreadsheet by making the part number a date. It seems to work correctly if I format the part number column as text, but if Calc automatically turns all numbers to a date, it will have no useful value as a program.

I never had this problem with 2.4 It doesn't help to say a number like a part number: if your numbers are indeed plain numbers, Calc will not do what you describe, of course. What format do your part numbers have? If they include such things as points, hyphens, or slashes and your cell format is Number, then - depending on your locale - Calc may indeed interpret your values as dates and convert them appropriately. This is documented, so it is not a bug: it is a feature! (Oh, and Calc does not turn[] all numbers to a date.) You say that you can achieve what you want by formatting the cells as text, and this is indeed what you should do. Another way to achieve the same result is to precede the entered text with an apostrophe: this is a signal to Calc that you want your entry to appear as text and to disable automatic conversion to date format. Note that, if you have custom quotes enabled under AutoCorrect you will need to disable this or else to type Ctrl+Z to undo this correction after typing the apostrophe. It's also worth saying that anyway you really do need to ensure that your values are entered as text in situations like this. Your part number is presumably a string of characters, many of which may be digits. But you do not want this to be represented as a number (any more than a date), as this may be rounded and would be displayed to a chosen number of digits. 12.5 is presumably a different part number from 12.50, but they are the same number. There is also a smallish limit to how many digits you can store in a number; this doesn't apply to strings of digits as text. So your discovered solution - formatting the cells as text - is exactly the one you should be using. (I suspect that millions of OpenOffice users out there may disagree that Calc will have no useful value as a program.) I trust this helps.

I never had this problem with 2.4 Floyd Floyd -- As Brian said, it would help greatly in understanding what is going on if you could give examples of the part number being changed to a date. Calc certainly doesn't turn all numbers into dates, like you claimed. If your version really does do that, there is clearly something amiss. And as was stated, it sounds like you've identified the solution -- format the part number column as text. Part numbers should be treated as text anyway. It wouldn't make any sense to perform numerical computations on them (like adding up a column of part numbers, or multiplying the part number by 2, etc.). Kind of like phone numbers -- other than being composed of numbers, there is no real numerical meaning to them. You wouldn't multiply two of them together, divide one by the other, add 10 to one of them, etc. and expect them to have any meaning as a phone number any more. So it would help if you replied to the list and gave examples of the part numbers that are being changed. Although it sounds like your problem is solved (format as text), so assuming that continues to prevent your problem, there may be no more need to give any specifics. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[users] Printing Bug
I posted this to the OO.org forum, but have gotten no replies. It appears to be a bug with Calc. It appears that one cannot print a newly added worksheet in Calc if the file orginated in Excel. Note that I have Calc set to save files in xls format so I can handle work files at home. Steve I am a new user of OoO, but not new to spreadsheets. I have worked a lot in Excel and have converted all my Excel sheets to OoO Calc format. I am having problems printing individual sheets in a workbook. Here are symptoms: 1-Spreadsheet workbook created in Excel with multiple worksheets 2-Converted to Calc and set program to save as an XLS file. 3-Entered Calc, copies a sheet in workbook to use as a template for some new data 4-Edited copied sheet and attempt to print 5-Print option is set to print selected sheet 6-What prints is one of the original worksheets, not the new sheet I copied and modified. What goes to printer is the worksheet I copied to create the new one. 7-This also happens if I just create a new blank worksheet and try to print it. 8-It appears I cannot print any new worksheet if it is in a workbook that originated in Excel. 9-I can print the new sheet IF I create a new Calc workbook file, return to the Excel-Calc file and copy the sheet I copied/modified in the old file into the new one.

In Calc, any defined print range operates for the entire spreadsheet - all its sheets, that is. So if you define a print range somewhere in your document, only that part or those parts will ever print. If there is a print range defined on your copied sheet but not on your new, modified one, you cannot print the new one. Either add (part of?) the new sheet to your print range or else delete the existing defined range (using Format | Print Ranges | Remove - from the relevant sheet). I trust this helps.

You can work around it by putting the values in a row and then

However, this is messy and means that the formula is more
susceptible to error from other cell changes.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet with the subject formulas in it.
Does anyone have a bug fix for this.
Your rogue formula is:
{={-39.4;-26.2;-16.1;-8.6;-3.2;0;1.2;1;-1.1}}
Is this one of those situations in which Calc will not allow
expressions in a formula? And is it (wrongly) treating negative
vales as expressions rather than constants? A solution might be for
there to be a new function - perhaps ARRAY() - which would take
expressions as arguments and return an array of values. Your row
could then be entered as:
{=ARRAY(-39.4;-26.2;-16.1;-8.6;-3.2;0;1.2;1;-1.1)}
Meanwhile, I have found a messy workaround. It seems that the
VALUE() function can take an array of values and return an array as
its result. By entering the negative values as text strings, you can
fool Calc into seeing them as constants rather than expressions. So
your row can be entered as:
{=VALUE({-39.4;-26.2;-16.1;-8.6;-3.2;0;1.2;1;-1.1})}
You could put quotes around your non-negative values as well if you

Problem faced -
1.5.1 When the old format (SXW) is converted into new format (ODT),
we are unable to open the file ODT. OO keeps asking for ASCII
filter option (Sample converted ODT File enclosed 1.4.1 - ASCII
filter bug in the folder).
There is a simple reason for this. The file you sent, 1.4.1 - ASCII
filter bug.odt, is not in the new Writer text document format at
all. It is not an ODT file, even though you have given it the
extension .odt. It is actually a PDF version of a file. Change its
extension to .pdf and you will see it will open happily in Adobe
reader. That's why Writer does not recognise its format and treats
it as plain text. SXW files should and do convert to ODT format
straightforwardly.
1.5.2 We have old document format which has to be converted to new
format without disturbing the date time of the document.
Do you mean the date and time of modification of the file, as shown
by the operating system? That is an operating system issue, and
nothing to do with OpenOffice. You should be able to find a way to
reset these using operating system techniques.
Or do you mean that the file contains date and time fields, and you
want to convert the document without changing these values? If the
document is not going to be modified further, you can freeze these
fields in the document to the appropriate (old) actual date and time
values when you convert it. If it is going to be modified, it won't
matter that the values have been changed, as they will change again anyway.
1.5.3 While saving the changes made in the old format, message as
shown below display. It would be better if it display single line
message with existing format and new format button in place of Yes
and No button.
I disagree here, in fact. The message appears not just for old and
new formats, but also for many other foreign formats which are not
capable of saving all information. And the options are not just old
or new, but a whole range of alternative formats. I know some users
think this message is too short, in fact, and want it to say more and
in more demanding language - as a stronger warning.
2.2 When 1.1.1 is typed in a cell, it gets converted into date format.
That can be solved by formatting the cells appropriately. If you
know you will not be storing dates in such cells, format the cells
for text or whatever. Alternatively, type an apostrophe immediately
before the text ('1.1.1): this will indicate that you mean the value
to be text, but the apostrophe will not be included in the cell value.
1.5 When a paragraph is selected and TAB key pressed the entire
paragraph should be indented right by one tab space.
This is tending towards thinking of the word processor as a
typewriter (which it isn't, of course). Put the cursor in a
paragraph (no need to select it) and then drag the margin indicator
on the ruler above the text window inwards. Alternatively,
right-click in the paragraph, choose Paragraph... | Indents Spacing
from the context menu, and modify the required values there. Once
you have done this once, use the Format Paintbrush to copy the effect
to other paragraphs as required.
Best of all, create a separate paragraph style for such indented
paragraphs. Use this as necessary or apply it using the Paintbrush.
9 Multilingual option: We generate the same document in multiple
languages for our global customers (German, French, Chinese, Arabic
and so on). An option to create, edit, Grammar check of the same
document in multiple languages.
Ex: When we select a paragraph and change the font from Times New
Roman to Trebuchet the font of entire paragraph changes, similar
option to translate a paragraph from one language to another.
You can do this already - using styles. (There is no grammar checker
bundled with OpenOffice Writer, of course.) Language is a property
of the paragraph style - not of the paragraph itself. Create
separate paragraph styles for each required language, and apply the
appropriate style to each paragraph. (Use the Paintbrush
again.) Provided you have installed the dictionaries for all the
required languages, you can carry out spelling checks in a
mixed-language document.
I trust this helps.

I have a problem: when I insert a frame and happen to click on the tab Macro a dialog box pops up telling me that I need to install Java. I cannot get rid of this dialog box and OpenOffice completely freezes at this point and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close Open Office. I am now VERY careful not to click on that tab, but I'd hate to lose something if I click on it again by accident. I know almost nothing about Macros and have no need for Java, hence the reason I have not installed it on my system. Here's exactly what that dialog box says: JRE Required OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org. OK I also have a question: Can you insert a picture to a frame, rather than only to the page? I assume no, so where would be the best place to post this as a feature suggestion to add to Ooo? This was a problem I have with Publisher too, it won't affix a graphic directly to a text box and become a part of it. It would be nice to have a graphic that would stay fixed to my frame when I want to move it around. Having this feature along with a few more border and fill options that Publisher has would make me like Ooo better for what I need to do than Publisher. :-) Thanks, Stephanie Boulée - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Really hope this get fixed asap as this is a very important function. Anyway, OpenOffice is still a miracle compared to any of Microsofts solutions. Thanks. Please explain what you mean by broken in more specific terms. Also, what additional features would you like it to have? Does this involve creating something with OpenOffice.org and then saving it as a MS Word file (*.doc)? If so, this may be part of the problem. But we will never know unless we are given more specific information. Dan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[users] Re: Bug regarding Bullet styles
Christof Schmidt wrote: ... There is no way to alter the standard behaviour that OpenOffice.org 2.0 has when setting the bullets style and other formats of a list. ... Yes. There is an active issue that should resolve the default bullet size in the near future: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23723 by modifying the font that supplies the bullet characters. Unfortunately, the lovely specification document that will guide improvements to Numbering and Bullets does not mention at all the problem of allowing the user to define the default list style. There is however an open enhancement request for this: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5477 It has been outstanding now for almost five years, so I wouldn't even try to guess when it might see some progress. In the meantime, the best you can do is set up a list style that you like and apply it from the Stylist, or record a macro applying that style and assign that to the toolbar button.

Re: [users] X11 bug
Hi I have tried the recommended fix and get a message: command not found. Am I writing it wrong? I am leaving a space after sudo and no other spaces. yes, but there must be another space after Vera*.ttf blank /usr/ X11R6/ hope this helps.
