Posters: When replying to non-subscribed posters, please take the time to read the OPs address. Several posters post from GMANE which supply this mailing list through their news server service. I look for gmane.org as part of the address. Another source is Google Groups. Again, looking at the header will show that the message originated from Google. Also, it has become a habit to 'steal' threads. This means taking over a discussion about one subject and using it for another. Please start with a new message to this list whenever a new topic needs to be discussed. Some threads have been marked for deletion and your very important message was just deleted.
Also posts were made in the past where posters forgot to include very important information and thus some replies (including some from me) have had to be based upon assumptions (and we don't have to discuss what this does.) Please, when making a new post, include the following information items. It will allow some of us to skip your message (we don't work with Linux/Mac OS X/Windows for instance) and leave replies to those more experienced/knowledgeable. Please include the following items, they will assist us (as a bunch of volunteers) to help you faster: 1. Operating system 2. CPU type (Intel, AMD 64, Power PC, Sparc (yes, OpenOffice does run on Solaris systems.)) 3. Amount of RAM (if you complain of slowness, you might be running OpenOffice.org with a marginal amount of memory.) 4. Version of OpenOffice.org you are running. This can be obtained by looking at Help then the About window. The version is located just above the OK button. 5. What you were doing at the time you experienced a problem. Lastly: You may be disappointed to read "Please file an issue on this". You will need to access the OpenOffice.org web site and register. Then you can file an issue. Please do yourself and us a big favor. Query to see if you problem was discovered by another OpenOffice.org user or one of the Quality Assurance team or a developer. If this is the case, please VOTE on this issue. The more VOTES, the more importance can be placed on an issue and may actually up the priority of an issue. If no one has filed an issue on what you found, or you cannot find a like issue, please create a new one. Please keep issues to a single topic. When you file your issue, please use a summary that describes the problem as accurately and as specific as possible. Stating "OpenOffice.org does not work" is not good for a message subject and is definitely not helpful when filing an issue. "OpenOffice.org crashes to desktop when attempting to paste from Web Site into Calc cell" will be fantastic. Also, please include a step-by-step process to recreate what you experienced so those of us on the QA confirmation team can recreate your problem. Thank you for your time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
