There is no common.xcu in the Office subfolder, either. Only one file - not near that computer right now, but I think it was license.xcu I guess I could copy common.xcu from one folder into the above, but which one, since they're different?

However the fastest & easiest way to export all of the slides to png or jpeg at one time is to export to html: 1. Create a separate directory where you want the slides saved. 2. File|Export on file format scroll up & select "HTML Document etc" Select to save in the directory that you just created. 3. Click 'Save'. 4. The HTML Export wizard will come up with 'New Design' selected', click 'Next'. - Publication Type - Standard HTML format - Uncheck 'Create title page' & 'Show notes' click 'Next' - Save grapics as - select PNG, GIF, or JPG & 100% quality - Uncheck Export sounds etc. - Monitor resolution - select High resolution click 'Next' etc until you get to the page with 'Create', click 'Create'. That will save the entire slide show as an HTML in the directory. Then go to that directory with your file browswer & you will find *all* of your slides in PNG, GIF, or JPG format depending upon what you selected in #4 above. You can then copy those where ever you want and ignore and/or delete the other html files in the directory. cc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please reply *only* to [email protected] To prevent the initial registration dialog window edit OPENOFFICE/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcs CHANGE: <prop oor:name="RequestDialog" oor:type="xs:int"> <info> <desc>Contains the number used internally to determine when the dialog should be started.</desc> </info> <value>1</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="ShowMenuItem" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <info> <desc>Contains a Boolean that specifies if the "Registration..." menu item is available.</desc> </info> <value>true</value> </prop> TO: <prop oor:name="RequestDialog" oor:type="xs:int"> <info> <desc>Contains the number used internally to determine when the dialog should be started.</desc> </info> <value>0</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="ShowMenuItem" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <info> <desc>Contains a Boolean that specifies if the "Registration..." menu item is available.</desc> </info> <value>false</value> </prop> On Mon, 2007-10-08 at 14:46 +0200, Martin Walter wrote: > Dear Support Team, > > we are about to use Open Office on our Terminalservers. > The installation worked fine so far.

The U.S. and Canadian Federal Governments have strong business plan guides. Most other jurisdiction do as well. The best way, as you said, is to get one of these guides, but write the Business Plan yourself using a spreadsheet and a word processor. My experience is, in spite of the requirement for "just the facts, ma'am", sexy the finished product with pictures and colour, and find a simple story line or plot by which to thread the various parts of the plan together -- helps keep them reading. -- Regards Bill Hi, I had Open Office installed in our office computers to replace the MS Office suite.

If the text is created in Upper Case it wont convert to Title Case. A bit more flexibility would be useful.

There is more than just upper and lower. Check out the settings of a paragraph style under 'font effects'. /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.

I checked Format - Character - font and English Uk was there for the utopia font. In spite of this it wont check in this font! Wonder of wonders. Maybe thre is an explanationa after all. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger! Download today it's FREE! http://messenger.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200471ave/direct/01/ Hi all, I installed OpenOffice 2.3 for Solaris64 ( Solaris 9 ). I only installed the core modules, the javafilter module and the Base module. I'm trying to connect to my Oracle10g database, using the Oracle JDBC drivers. The connection is OK. ( Test Connection = OK ) Whenever I try to USE the database, I got crashes all the time, and sometimes even unrecoverable core dumps. It happens when I try to look at the Tables, it happens when I try to build a query using the Wizard, and it happens when I try to build a query in Design Mode ! The only thing that seems to work a bit is building a Query in SQLView ... Someone having similar/better experience ? Linde Ackermans J.L.

OpenSUSE 10.3 has OO v2.3 -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> Hi! As you probably know we (the Hungarian NLC) have on going effort to make caption text more customizable in Writer. We have to do it because the current situation is not looks good for Hungarian text. Please check the related issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61007 Spec is available here: http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/caption_dialog/Enhanced_Caption_Dialog_for_Hungarian_Langauge.odt Our question is - Is only Hungarian language affected or are there more languages who have similar problem with caption. If yes please notify me and the Writer team about in the issue linked above. Best regards, KAMI
