Re: [users] find replace - special

Re: [users] Impress macros

Thank you. A very powerful macro. Quite impressive. And yet ... alert ... whining below Yet another learn-it-yourself kit from OOo. It's a .sxd file. With no instructions. How do I install this? (Answer, you don't. It is a document with an embedded macro. Just open it.) It states that

[users] autorunning swf files from impress?

When I export a swf from an impress presentation and put it on a website, it displays fine but requires that the user click the picture to change to the next slide. Is there a setting somewhere that would make the slide show autodisplay, changing the slide every 2 seconds or so?

Re: [users] Impress Notes view blank for some slides

Nevermind. I got a chance to look at the file in PPT 2003. The same slides are blank in Notes mode. No one seems to know why, but it ain't just Impress. -Paul- Paul Sims Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Running OOo 2.03 under WinXP. I haven't used Impress much but am in a situation

Re: [users] 1/16 = 1/9 in calc?

Thanks to Johnny Anderson and Joe Conner. I thought that there was a cut and paste solution but could not remember it. and, now I know how to prevent the fraction problem. But I am still stonkered as to the design. What kind of logic would do rounding on the denominator of a fraction?

Re: [users] Any way to save an Impress file so it opens in slide show view?

One way (in Windows, at least) to handle this would be to get the free Powerpoint viewer and associate it with (only) the .pps suffix. Then save the Impress file as .ppt and manually change the name to .pps. -Paul- - Original Message From: Anthony Chilco [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Re: [users] File Saves with Impress

Lots of people think that there is a difference between the .ppt and .pps file format. And you would be surprised how many folks think you can't edit the .pps because when they click on it, it starts to run. Anyhow, all you have to do to make a .pps file is to save as a .ppt and then use a file
