Can you tell use what version you were trying to install? If you can
provide the complete URL (location and complete name of the install file)
this would help. And more about your specific Mac platform.

Really, it would also be VERY helpful if you could file an "issue" on this
through BugZilla, the bug reporting system.

The link for this is:

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi

You will need to register for an account first, however. Once you do this,
please choose the "installation" category, choose the version you were
trying to install (otherwise just leave the default), change the platform
to Mac, then fill out the rest and submit.

Hi,
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and would like to have Open Office as

Can this be done and if yes, how?

It was easy with XP.



Go into the Control Panel and look for "Default Programs".  You can use 
that to set the default application for various file types.

It should.  However, you may  have to emulate XP.  Give it a try and see

Bcc Mick personally as well.

 OpenOffice.org is designed to work only with laptops, towers, and
desktops; but I can not be for sure about an iPad. Safari will download
programs, but it does not install them. Were you able to download the
DMG file for OOo, is this what you were not able to do?
  I have a MacBook, so I am acquainted with Safari and installing on
the Mac O/S in MacBook.

Unless you needed a CD, there's no need to buy OpenOffice.  It's a 
free.download from www.openoffice.org, where you'll find all available 
languages.

You don't need to purchase OpenOffice - it is available for free. Have a
look at http://fr.openoffice.org/  - I think the version downloaded from
this site would have the French language installed as default.

Hi Verna,

I do not see how as the list is build on the go from a database, thus it 
would change based on the requirements.  If you have addresses that you

How large is the downloaded file, and what is its name?

I thought the "Open Office Installation File folder on the Desktop"
contained something like 129MB of files, one of which is
openofficeorg1.cab of 129MB. Do you have that file?

Is there plenty of spare room on the hard drive?

Yes, or better there was.
It was called StarOffice while it was still Sun, Oracle later renamed it 
to Oracle Open Office. But since the time Oracle donated OOo to Apache, 
the commercial version was cancelled and doesn't exist any longer.

A closely related "commercial version" is IBM's Lotus Symphony.  They 
share a lot of DNA.  I had a great deal of trouble
downloading it, and I can't tell you how I finally did it, but it's 
worth it.  It's a nice professional-looking program,

and it's free.

Does the computer that OOo installed on still have the directory that 
was created when it was installed?  If so copy the whole directory to a 
CD/DVD or a thumb drive and install from there.

There is NO CASE of a "virus" here and the chances of there being an real 
malware are 
extremely low.

What you provided is NOT good advice.

The anti malware solution that is declaring the trojan "Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792" 
(which is 
NOT a virus declaration) has to be identified.

The specific file(s) being declared to be containg the trojan 
"Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792" need 
to be identified.

The declaration needs to be verified.  I am well able to do that.

If the presumption of a False Positive is true, the un-identified anti malware 
solution 
needs to be contacted to negate the False Positive declaration.  I am well able 
to do that 
well.

[mahir mensi]

Good evening Rita !

I haven't by now any answer about the existence of virus in the official
site of Oo.

Anyway, this matter will be good experience especially to you and to others
so that to present good advice to the future users of Oo.


 concerning to finding a solution to your problem with the virus, I propose
that you do the following stapes :

1- cut all files of Oo which include the virus from your computer.

2- Then past them in a USB.

3- Pass your antivirus to define the file of the virus.

4- Let the antivirus delete it.

5- If it will come back, delete it manually.

6- If it will come back again, delete all files of Oo.

7- Download another copy of Oo from another site.

8- When you cut all files of Oo from the disk, and so as to be sure that no
copy of the virus exists on your disk, write the name of

the virus file in the "START". If it is found, you will see it. In this
case, click on it and cut it. Then, past it in the USB.

If it is not found, that will be a good step to delete it totally.

9- It seems to me that your antivirus isn't so strong. To don't delete all
files of Oo, I propose to you to change the antivirus.


 Rita... Have happy night! beautiful life!

Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792 is NOT a virus.  The term "virus" is overused an abused.  
All 
viruses are malware but not all malware are viruses.

A variant of Generic Kazy is a heuristic detection for a trojan and in all 
probabilities 
is a False Positive declaration by your un-named anti malware solution.

There is NOTHING OpenOffice can do to fix a False Positive declaration by an 
un-named anti 
malware solution.  It is that un-named anti malware solution that has to 
correct its 
signatutes to negate the False Positive declaration.

I have POCs at many anti malware vendors.  To correct this you need to identify 
EXACTLY 
what files are being detected (or send me copies of said files) and indicate 
who is the 
vendor of the un-named anti malware solution that declared this False Positive 
of 
"Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792".

Gene, in my experience there are never any difficulties in removing
OpenOffice.org -  did you download the suite from the OpenOffice.org website
? In any event, the best tool I know for getting rid of obstinate programmes
is RevoUninstaller, a free version of which is found at

Hello,

I don't know what your native language is, but probably there is a
page at the OOo website in that language where you can find
documentation on how to use OpenOffice.org.
See: http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html
For documentation in general see: http://documentation.openoffice.org/

You sent your request to a list where users of OpenOffice.org try to
help one another. This is no helpline and you won't easily find
somebody here that will help you through the phone.

Success!

[Andrew Fisk]

My guess would be that you downloaded the program and never installed it, you 
just ran it from the download file (you had a .dmg file that you clicked on and 
a disk icon with open office showed you om your desktop).  You probably cleaned 
out your downloads folder and threw the install file away.  Download it again, 
and this time drag the open office icon to the application folder then you can 
throw out the installer.

Hi Karen,

it is not necessary to save your current document to another format in

File -> Send and then choose the format.


That will work if the OS is correctly set up /and/ the users mailer 
supports the operation - some don't.


The format needed will depend on what the recipient can read. If they 
have OOo, then send a .ods or whatever; if you don't know what they 
have, a pdf is possibly readable by most people (and will also stop all 
but the most determined changing the file and its layout).


(My wife had a document sent to her recently - actually an msword 
document prepared with Word I believe. MS's Word reader program here 
rendered the whole lot as musical symbols; although fortunately OOo came 
to the rescue. Strange and unexpected things can happen when exchanging 
documents. No, not an April Fool!)

To export as a PDF (files is redundant, that is what the F stands for) go to 
'File/Export as PDF'.

Hi Karen,

it is not necessary to save your current document to another format in 
order to get it mailed to some other user. Just use the menu command 
File -> Send and then choose the format.

I used Quattro-Pro for many years but had to give that up due to 
frequent crashes of key files.  The conversion is not a slick 10-second 
process but it can be done.


For me the beginning was to Save AS (from Quattro-Pro) in Excel (.xls) 
format.  (I believe it was Microsoft Excel v5/v7 -- the other choice in 
my version of QPro is Microsoft Excel 97, which I think is older.)


This can then be imported into OOo Calc and saved in .ods format.

Now the tedious part begins -- converting things that were not exported 
well enough by QPro.  The biggest challenge I faced was that my macros 
didn't transfer to anything useful.  I simply had to deal with the issue 
involved in some entirely new way.


Good luck.  Write again if you have specific questions I might address 
-- like function correspondences.

That's one possibility, but there are others. My first recommendation is that you uninstall your 
current version of OOo, then get and install the most recent one that is supported on your system -- 
there have been a great many changes over the course of "several years" that complicate the issue of 
how to help you. If you do have a corrupted version, that will fix it, and also get you more 
current. If you don't have broadband access, there are some CD sources listed on the 
www.openoffice.org website (with no guarantees from OOo); in that case, you might try reinstalling 
what you have while you wait for a newer version, and see if that helps. Or you could go to a 
library or other location that has the access, and download onto a CD or USB drive, then install 
from that. Just make sure that you get the right version for your system. The default is to download 
the version for the system doing the downloading; you may have to follow the link for "other" to 
select the right one for you.


OK -- now for some questions to you. What operating system and version are you using? What is the 
extension for the documents you are sending -- .odt, .doc, ...? Are these documents that you are 
originating, or are you editing things from somewhere else, and if so, what was the original format? 
How are you sending the files -- using File > Send > Document as E-mail, saving the document and 
explicitly attaching it to a message, ...? Is OOo Writer the program that tries to open the files 
and fails? Do you see any error messages, and if so, what are they?

If 2.4 MB is the file-size in  .ods  format, it's actually much larger 
in working format (.ods files are zipped for storage; their uncompressed 
size when in memory can e much greater.)  Here are some of the things 
I've considered in trying to reduce the size and complexity, and hence 
the frequent "bombing":
1.  Am I trying to do too many loosely related things in one spreadsheet 
file?  If so maybe I should use separate spreadsheets for the different 
tasks -- a Divide and Conquer strategy.  The first step is to use Save 
As to create a second version, say for Task B; if there are additional 
tasks, say C and D, then repeat the Save As process to create additional 
versions of the original.  Then, with the last Saved-As version, delete 
sheets not needed for that Task.  Next reopen the original version, 
which will now be used only for Task A, and delete sheets not needed for 
Task A.  Repeat this process as needed to pare each version down to just 
what is needed for the corresponding  task.
2.  Are there pages (sheets) whose content will never change but which 
contain many formulas?  If so I convert those sheets to all values via 
the following steps.   On a page to be converted, press Ctrl+End, then 
Shift+Ctrl+Home to select the entire sheet, then Ctrl+C to copy, then 
Shift+Ctrl+V to invoke the Paste-Special dialog box.  The first time you 
do this you would probably need to uncheck the Paste all box; then 
uncheck Formulas, Notes and Objects, and check Text, Numbers and Date & 
Time; then click OK (or press Enter) to complete the conversion


I hope this helps

That doesn't provide a 'data sheet'. Unfortunately, it looks as if

All those are OOo 2 & I can't seem to find any for OOo 3.

You will find the Certificate Store in Internet Explorer.
IE --> tools --> Internet options --> cont --> certificates

In this case certificates are granted per customer and the customer may "sign" 
their 
products with it.  I know of no limitations as to the number of products, only 
the 
certificate's given life spam.

There have been cases where malicious actors have obtained digital certificates 
and have 
signed their malware.  Usually this is a case where the malicious actor either 
uses a 
compromised Credit Card account to purchase the certificate,  forges the 
certificate or 
steals them.  Once identified the CA may revoke the certifcate via the CRL URL.

You may find these helpful:
http://www.openoffice.org/security/faq.html
 http://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html

Openoffice.org, like any major application is subject to security
vulnerabilities. Howerever, if you download only from the authorized
site: http://www.openoffice.org/ and
 it is highly unlikely that
you will pick up a virus... otherwise there would be 'literally'
millions of users complaining.

Very little chance, especially if you also check the MD-5 checksum I think 
it is it uses. If that matches, you're good to go!

| OpenOffice,

| Just a thought, but is there a chance of picking up a virsu from downloading
| OpenOffice?

| Thanks and Regards,

I, and others, assume you mean "virus".

People have gotten into a bad habit and assume all malcious software are 
"viruses".  The 
fact it all viruses are malware but not all malware are viruses.

So the real question should be...
"...is there a chance of picking up malware from downloading OpenOffice?"

The chance is EXTREMELY small IFF you you download it from official 
distribution 
sites/channels.
If you download OpenOffice from a torrent, a P2P or from Usenet then the 
chances of 
malware being inserted into the installer is EXTREMLY high.

  Thanks, Ketan!

  Sadly, using either of those 2 settings made no difference.
With font size e.g. 12,  when hitting the font size option, it still
showed '12' at the top.

(I had 'Select' as default, but even when then hitting 'Clear
Settings', it still showed '12' at the top of the sizes.)

Perhaps I didn't do something right...

Dear Team ,



My Name Is Stephen Joseph working as a Sr.Administrator in a company , we

We want to enquire about the software , is it free or we need to pay 
anything for the software .




Kindly let me know as the mater is urgent.

The software named OpenOffice.org ("OOo") from www.openoffice.org is 
completely free to download, to use and to distribute to others regardless 
of context - business, personal, education etc.


Support is also free via the mail list users@openoffice.org to which you 
should subscribe (also free). There are also at least two web forums, 
details of which you will find in the OpenOffice.org web pages. Support 
comes from *users* of the software who volunteer time to help others.


The openoffice.org web pages also incorporate extensive documentation which 
you are free to browse and/or download.


Beware. Under the terms of the OOo licence people are allowed to sell the 
software. In many cases this is legitimate, for example some people sell the 
software on CD at a nominal price as a convenience to those with incompetent 
internet connections. However, there are some scammers around who require 
non trivial amounts of money and registration and who then point their 
customers at the volunteer support "group". Don't pay for OOo unless you 
know what you are buying, for example onsite support or additional 
functionality and from whom you are buying it.


When you install OOo you will be asked to register. This is purely optional 
and is designed to try to keep track of the number of copies in use by 
location. There are no passwords involved (the OOo web forums, as most such 
forums, require passwords but that's a different story).

Just figured out that the title bar is following the Win7 desktop theme.
If I change the theme to Windows 7 Basic, the title bar is no longer
translucent & looks the same as on WinXP. You might want to test on your
system as well.

Thanks. On Win7 (I have Win7 Home Premium) 3.2.1 does show
OpenOffice.org when opened to the start menu screen. It also shows the
document file name when a document is opened. However, it seems that the
title bar is a translucent type of background design, so the information
is a little hard to see. Also, if I un-maximize the window & move the
smaller window around, I can see that it's a transparent title bar & can
see the desktop background through it.

Could be that on yours is actually there, but is so transparent that
it's being obscured. Do you get the Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Close
buttons in the right hand corner?

Checking Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org|View I see the theme type is
'Automatic (Galaxy (default)); changing to Crystal, etc., doesn't seem
to affect the title bar appearance. Perhaps someone with Win7 experience
can assist; I use linux & typically only open Win7 for testing & support.

The only problem is that Open Office files do not open on a Windows 7

not open with Open Office.org in the title bar as it does in Windows XP.
I only included how Open Office operates with  Windows XP

Re: [users] Re: OPEN OFFICE WRITER TEXT BEST FIT

[Jean Lear]

Sorry to have not followed up on this matter to the members who tried
to assist.
At present I am trying to overcome a problem in that Windows 7 that I
have to change to on
a replacement computer is not accepting Open Office.  At present it
has been narrowed down
to the copy of Windows 7 on the computer I am changing to.  My Open
Office files are as they
should be on other computers with Windows 7 but are opening without
file names in the title bar
on the Windows 7 I have.  People with more knowledge than I have are
trying to sort this out.
Please do not reply to this as it will be hijacking the original thread.
I will start this thread again when the Windows 7 problem is sorted out.
Thank you for the help so far.

Please bottom post on this list; meaning in gmail just move your cursor
to the bottom of this and then reply - thanks :-)

I'm not sure, but I _think_ you may be able to do this by using a frame
where the member name is inserted.


I know you can autosize the frame to the object, but do not know if you
can autosize the object/text to the frame in Writer (you can do this in
Impress).

If you can send the basic .odt template then I/we can experiment with
the mailmerge name section & possibly provide you with a solution. The
list will accept small .odt's, or you can send it to me directly.

This leaves the upper right hand part of the card where the mail merge
inserts the members first name on one line and second name on the next
line. With Publisher the text entered with 'Text Best Fit' would allow
the name to be entered to fill the space.  The font size would vary
according to the number of letters in the name could be from 48 down
to 24. In OO Writer the font size depends on the longest name in the
merge which applies then to all cards.
Hope you can understand all that.

As far as I know, the feature you need does not exist in OOo. However,
I thought of a workaround.

You could create styles that differ only in the point size of the
font. For example, if the font needs to vary from 10 points (for the
long names) to 15 points (for the short names), and you want it to vary
by half-point increments, you could create ten styles.

OOo Writer allows setting styles to different fields during a merge.
However, getting it to understand the length of the text in the field
it is merging, and applying the correct style for text of that length,
might be possible, but the code to get it to work would take a lot of
effort.

Instead, I would let the merge finish, and then apply the styles with
Writer's Find and Replace function. This can be done globally for the
entire document, and can be recorded as a macro, so that all you have
to do is run the macro each time after the merge.

The problem still remains of how to get Writer to recognize the length
of the names so the Find and Replace function will apply the correct
style. Perhaps someone has a better solution, but I would do it by
inserting a number in front of the name in the database. You can
probably do this with an SQL statement in the database. For example, my
name (John Jordan) is relatively short, so you might want to use the
largest font style for my name. If you have defined ten styles, and
numbered them 0-9, then I would be a 9. In the database I would appear
as 9John and 9Jordan. After the merge your Writer macro would search
for "9" and, upon finding it, change the style to "9." At the end of
the macro you can do a global Find and Replace to delete all the
numbers.

As a point of curiosity, what do you do with people who have three or
more names? E.g., there are thousands of John Jordans, so I usually use
my middle name as well. There are also lots of married people who
append their spouse's name, sometimes with a hyphen. And there are
other cultures where naming systems are completely different from the
traditions of northern Europe.

I wonder, since Calc merged cells can offer to shrink text if the 
entered typeface/text too big. can this feature be incorporated somehow 
to adjust the size of the business card text?

I used it to download the YouTube video that I was interested in

To keep the aspect ratio fixed, hold down the shift key while dragging

If the wmv file name doesn't show up in the file open box, type *.wmv

Good point; my Win7(64bit) install was jre-6u18-windows-i586-s.exe
That said; if he downloads the OOo version without java, then the

As mentioned; I have 3.2.0 installed w/o issues on Win7 Home Premium
64bit (US English versions). I also had a previous 3.2.rc1 installed &
didn't bother to remove when installing 3.2.0 final.

Questions/suggestions:
1. When you try to install 3.2.0 do you have the OOo quickstarter
running? If so kill it first. Use the Ctrl-Alt-Del to start the task
manager and check for any soffice entries.
2. Check to ensure that your most recent java is fully up to date
(http://java.com - "Do I have Java") - if not update it to the latest
version (version 6 update 18).. Then download the Win OOo version
*without* java:
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
Make sure this box is _unchecked_:
 Include the JRE to the download (this option is not available for Linux
32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS).
3. Are you logged in with admin privilages? If not, do so and try
installing. If it hangs, go back to the task manager and see if you can
tell which office processes are running. Note: it should not be
necessary to be admin to install, however this is how I installed mine
w/o issue, so just trying to 'replicate' my process.

If it was a ppt file she was trying to open in Impress; she may well have 
had problems.  Impress is the "least" compatible of an otherwise 
fantastic suite as far as I'm concerned.  I've had all kinds of problems 
opening old powerpoint files in Impress.  If you've got sound attached, 
be prepared for less-than-sterling results.  Lots of my presentations 
from last year, developed in 2007, had problems too with keeping text box 
placement.  I also had problems with the fonts when I changed from MS 
Office under XP to OOo under Ubuntu.  I've got the ms core fonts loaded, 
but even still the font conversion in Impress wasn't very pretty.

I just clicked on the link and Firefox opened a download and there it

What's mean?Then I will create a form that view each image and
their specifications.

Andreas, does that empty file (with no data source) illustrate anything?
Sorry to be dense, but I don't see how it answers André's question.


Not sure why you got an empty file.  The one I got seem to have every
thing there.


That's good to know, Andy.  Now I need to find out why we see different 
files, so I'd like to try another approach: Do you know how that file 
was found? - that is, if you go to the page

http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/
where do you find (or drill down to find) that file?

Thanks,
John

That's the long answer.  The short answer is while you can, recommended 
practice is usually to store the file name and path (either absolute or 
relative) in a field, and then fetch that information for whatever form 
you want to use.
