[users] open office problem
I have a MacBook with Mac OS X 10.5. I downloaded openoffice about a month ago. I tried to open it today and I get a pop up saying operation timed out. I tried to reinstall it and it's still saying the same thing. Now I have two Icons on my desktop for OpenOffice and I can't get rid of them. Everytime I try and delete them it says I have to Eject them, but there is nothing to eject. Can you give me any ideas to get rid of these 2 and get them off of my computer because they are now taking up space and they don't even work. Thank you, Lynne Ziegelbauer

2008/9/24 Lynne Ziegelbauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a MacBook with Mac OS X 10.5. I downloaded openoffice about a month ago. I tried to open it today and I get a pop up saying operation timed out. I tried to reinstall it and it's still saying the same thing. Now I have two Icons on my desktop for OpenOffice and I can't get rid of them. Everytime I try and delete them it says I have to Eject them, but there is nothing to eject. Can you give me any ideas to get rid of these 2 and get them off of my computer because they are now taking up space and they don't even work. Thank you, Lynne Ziegelbauer Hello Lynne, There are some issues with Leopard and X11/OpenOffice.org. Previous updates of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.x) caused X11 to 'time out', the last update (no.5) even seems to break up the use of X11 altogether, and also poses problems with PDF files... I propose that you install the Release Candidate 2 of the Aqua version of OpenOffice.org. That version doesn't need the X11 windowing utility. You can download the RC2 from GoodDay: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc2/ Which file to chose? Do you have an Intel or a PowerPC Mac? You download the US English version (OOo_3.0.0rc2_MacOSXIntel_install.dmg or ...PPC_install.dmg - so the US English version comes without the language specification in the filename), or the language version of you choice (install_xx.dmg) Download, doubleclick to open the dmg, then drag the program to your applications folder. You can drag the OOo icon from the Applications folder (in Finder) to your Dock for easy access. The final testedapproved version of OOo 3.0.0 Aqua for Mac will be ready in a few weeks. The RC probably still has some bugs, so it's advisable to save you work regularly. To get rid of the OOo 2.4 dmg or installation files that you have on your desktop, drag them to the trash (the bin will turn into an arrow, indicating that you 'eject' something, like what happens if you 'eject' a USB drive or external harddisk).

I have the problem with excel and powerpoint too. Do you know how I can fix it? Thanks, Ejdo Hello, Since you uninstalled OpenOffice.org, I don't see how it could interfere with the memory usage of your computer. As for the available disk space, I suppose you can easily verify this (I don't know how, I don't use Windows, as I suppose you are doing). You may throw away the OOo files if you don't intend to use them (Why? is something the people from OOo always like to know...) If this doesn't clarify your problem, please be more specific about your computr, Ooperating System, etc. Guy using dutch OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 (and older) on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches

Thanks, Ejdo The only thing that springs to mind is that your disk is too full because after uninstalling OpenOffice you did not delete the installer file (which you downloaded) and the folders/files into which it unpacked itself during the installation procedure. The Remove part of Windows Add/Remove Software does exactly that. It removes installed software. It does *not* remove the software that did the installing - it can't because it doesn't know where that software is or even if it's still on the computer. You can check how full your disk is by going to My Computer, *right* clicking on the disk's icon and choosing Properties. You will see a pie chart showing how much of the disk is in use and how much is free. If the disk is nearly full, delete the files folders I mentioned above and then run the Disk Cleanup program by clicking the button next to the pie chart. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [users] Open Office problem in Kubuntu Feisty
I am not in a position to give you specific help, unfortunately. But I can tell you the nature of the problem. You have a device defined in your xf86config file that you do not have on your computer (probably one of the drawing tablets). I believe that just commenting out the device will fix the problem. The real problem is more complex of course since there should be nothing wrong with having devices defined in the X config file that you don't have on the computer. I'm sorry that I can't be more specific but it has been too long since I ran into the problem and just don't remember more about it.

Re: [users] Open office problem
Hi, My husband has just bought a new laptop and we still haven't been able to get it connected to the internet. It has Microsoft Vista. I have Microsoft XP and have windows 2003. We can't download my 2003 software on his new laptop. We have bought the open office suite for my husband's computer and it has been successfully downloaded onto the laptop. So you have one laptop that you can't get connected and another that you can get connected? We have written a document, in writer, and need to send it via the internet to a user who only has Microsoft Word. She cannot open our document in Word as it doesn't recognize Open office. If open office is compatible with Microsoft office, why is this happening, and is there anything to be done about it? You need to save the document as MS file format. Alternatively you could use the menu option of file send document as MS word. This will send the document in a format that can be read by MS Office users. If the answer to the last question is no, how do we get our money back as it says in the ad, money back if not satisfied.? Regards Marion and Roger Llewellyn Smith You can of course ask for your money back however you won't be getting any from people on this list. If you want your money back you need to go back to the people that you paid the money to in the first place. Just for the record, OpenOffice is freely downloadable from here : www.openoffice.org. It is open source and this list serves to answer questions for people that have downloaded this product. It sounds like you paid to obtain OpenOffice (which is perfectly legal) - but again, you need to go back to the people that you paid the money to if you want a refund. /paul -- Vista is dramatically more secure than any other operating system released Bill Gates Huh ??

If the answer to the last question is no, how do we get our money back as it says in the ad, money back if not satisfied.? Regards Marion and Roger Llewellyn Smith 1. Money back if not satisfied with what? The laptop? OpenOffice.org? OpenOffice.org is usually free, so there should not be any money to get back. If someone sold OpenOffice.org to you, which is not illegal to do, I guess you should talk to them. 2. OpenOffice.org Writer is compatible with the MS Word doc format among other formats (if the document is not too complex, and the Word VB macros won't work). However MS Word is NOT compatible at all with the international standard OpenDocument, that OpenOffice.org use. This means that you have to save your document in the Word doc format if a Word user is supposed to be able to open and edit the document. You can do that in a few different ways. There is a way to make OpenOffice.org to save in doc format as default, look at Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org Writer, I think you will find it there, somewhere. Another way to do it is File-Save As…-Select the format you wish to save in (in this case MS Word 97/2000/XP or something like that. Here are a few solutions for your problem so the MS Word user can read your documents: 1. Save your documents in the MS Word doc format, as described above. The document will probably not look exactly like the original you created, but it will be close, at least for simple documents. 2. If the user is not supposed to edit the document, export it as PDF instead. There is also an Export and send email option somewhere. Then the document will look exactly as you created it, at least it always does for me. The MS Word user then needs software for reading PDF files. Adobe Reader is free and there are more free PDF readers out there as well. 3. Ask the user if downloading OpenOffice.org is an option for him/her. It's free so it won't cost anything. However it will take quite a few hours to download if the user has a dial-up connection, but who has these days? 4. There are a few more office suites and word processors out there (free, some of them Open Source) that supports the international OpenDocument format. Take a look at herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_supporting_OpenDocument#Word_processorsfor a list of word processors that supports OpenDocument more or less. Maybe there is something that the user can download to be able to handle your documents. 5. There are also free converters and filters out there for conversion from OpenDocument to MS Word doc format, that the user could download to be able to convert your documents and then edit them with word.

If the answer to the last question is no, how do we get our money back as it says in the ad, money back if not satisfied.? Regards Marion and Roger Llewellyn Smith 1. Money back if not satisfied with what? The laptop? OpenOffice.org? OpenOffice.org is usually free, so there should not be any money to get back. If someone sold OpenOffice.org to you, which is not illegal to do, I guess you should talk to them. 2. OpenOffice.org Writer is compatible with the MS Word doc format among other formats (if the document is not too complex, and the Word VB macros won't work). However MS Word is NOT compatible at all with the international standard OpenDocument, that OpenOffice.org use. This means that you have to save your document in the Word doc format if a Word user is supposed to be able to open and edit the document. You can do that in a few different ways. There is a way to make OpenOffice.org to save in doc format as default, look at Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org Writer, I think you will find it there, somewhere. Another way to do it is File- Save As…-Select the format you wish to save in (in this case MS Word 97/2000/XP or something like that. Here are a few solutions for your problem so the MS Word user can read your documents: 1. Save your documents in the MS Word doc format, as described above. The document will probably not look exactly like the original you created, but it will be close, at least for simple documents. 2. If the user is not supposed to edit the document, export it as PDF instead. There is also an Export and send email option somewhere. Then the document will look exactly as you created it, at least it always does for me. The MS Word user then needs software for reading PDF files. Adobe Reader is free and there are more free PDF readers out there as well. 3. Ask the user if downloading OpenOffice.org is an option for him/ her. It's free so it won't cost anything. However it will take quite a few hours to download if the user has a dial-up connection, but who has these days? 4. There are a few more office suites and word processors out there (free, some of them Open Source) that supports the international OpenDocument format. Take a look at herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ List_of_applications_supporting_OpenDocument#Word_processorsfor a list of word processors that supports OpenDocument more or less. Maybe there is something that the user can download to be able to handle your documents. 5. There are also free converters and filters out there for conversion from OpenDocument to MS Word doc format, that the user could download to be able to convert your documents and then edit them with word.

Regards Marion and Roger Llewellyn Smith 1) The default format for OpenOffice is OpenDocument (ODT etc). This is an international ISO standard, which MS Word is unable to handle. This means you have to save the file in Word format, for the other person to read. Another option is to click on File Send Email as Microsoft Word. Another possibility is to export the document as a PDF file. Since OpenOffice is a free download, you might even suggest your friend install it. 2) While some people sell CDs of OpenOffice, it is available for free download from www.openoffice.org. If you want your money back, you have to contact whoever you bought the CD from. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, my problem is: open office wont open properly on intel mac. installed x11 installed open office when opening openoffice: Program starts then x11 opens then openoffice closes and X11 remains open on dock.

Re: [users] Open Office problem
Johnny, if you are running a version of X11 earlier than 1.1.3, you might try the instructions at the top of the following page. It helped me in a similar situation: http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php? name=Forumsfile=viewtopict=3414start=0postdays=0postorder=aschighl ight= I don't believe this will help if you are already running 1.1.3.
