Well, good. But why do you think I was suggesting they don't? The
point I was making was that as a product based on (or extending, say)
OO , they are not really to be looked at for an Android-ready OO app.
Please recall that I worked hard to bring EuroOffice into OOo and
honour their contributions to the ecosystem. I'm not faulting them.
I'm rather suggesting that for any code that would work well on
mobiles, we do better to look at elsewhere. I suggest Corinthia.

Some examples :

- EuroOffice can export to .docx, .xslx, .pptx.
- The EuroOffice Adaptive Interface extension provides users with a
dinamycal menusystem to EuroOffice. By changing the size of the menu item
according to the frequency it was used it makes the menu system more
transparent. (copy from
http://www.multiracio.com/index.php?lang=en&style=eurooffice&page=eo_ext_adaptiveinterface
)
OK, their extensions are proprietary, but I think they make also some
development on the AOO code.

I’ll let you have the last word :-) But I’m not disagreeing with you; rather, 
I’m suggesting that a better tree to bark at would be Corinthia.

EuroOffice 2014 is based on AOO code. Previous version was based on LibO.
Developpement is performed with an university (Budapest).
EuroOffice for Android is based on Calligra code.

You should perhaps contact Kázmér Koleszár for that.

The usual starting point for spellcheck problems is to delete or rename the 
OpenOffice user profile. Doing this sorts out a very large proportion [read: 
most] of OpenOffice stability problems. Details of how to do this are given in
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426

If you have a customised user profile (i.e. dictionaries and autocomplete 
entries) rename the profile folder rather than delete it; the customised 
components can be brought forward later to the new profile that will be created 
on next start of OpenOffice.  After completing the delete or rename, look for 
OpenOffice to prompt for your name/initials on next startup.  If it doesn't, 
you need to reread the instructions.

Hi there -
I don't know if this is the right email address for my particular concern
but I will go ahead anyway.
My concern is the Spell check and Grammar Check on OpenOffice Writer. When
I turn it on, it gives ALL the words an underline and in contrary, I don't
want this to happen and only when there is/are a legitimate mistake(s)
present as if I were using Microsoft Word.

Thanks.

Maybe. But note that I was referring to the Android app, which may or 
may not share code with EuroOffice (and which, by the way, I never tested).



"Based on" would seem an ambitious description.


There is no policy (or need for one), but if they see themselves as an

Isn’t EuroOffice just OpenOffice rebranded (maybe now, LO?)? "Based on" would 
seem an ambitious description. If you recall, MultiRacio of Hungary, the makers 
and distributors of EuroOffice, have had correspondence with OpenOffice (and 
previously, OOo) since 2007, at least. They presented at the Barcelona OOo 
Conference back in 2007, where my goal was to persuade them to become positive 
members of the community. They in fact positively contributed and were 
prominent in the last OOoCon, the one held in Budapest. EuroOffice has 
contributed templates and, I think, extensions to the repository, and the 
latest on this subject was, in fact, from 24 May 2013, when Kázmér Koleszár 
wrote to express frustration with being unable to post updates to the 
extensions his company had already posted there. (Roberto Galoppini replied 
positively on this matter.)

The site for MultiRacio has 2014, suggesting it’s up-to-date, more or less, but 
I would be astonished if they have a version for Android, though it’s also 
plausible they are working with LO on this. Easy enough just to ask Kázmér or 
Banai Miklós.

If the desire is to have a working open source editor for text and other 
documents, then I would strongly suggest that people look to Corinthia Project, 
in Apache Incubator, as that stands the best chance of actually producing 
something that works and can work regardless of specific platform or 
environment.

There's no work in progress on this at Apache, but there are two related
serious activities.
* A direct port of AOO to Android has been performed, [AndrOpenoffice][1} -
however, its user interface is not adapted to touch-only use and I find it
usable only in desktop contexts (with a wireless keyboard and mouse) where
I might as well use a laptop
* A project is under way to create a specific adaptation for Android, and
the project has reached the stage of a stable and useful document viewer,
[LibreOffice Viewer][2]



> 2. Can library of [Apache open office] convert document to image ?


There is a server mode that you can use to perform a variety of
conversions. There have been forum discussions [sample][3] and there's a
[how-to for LibreOffice][4]. I would suggest researching this "headless
mode" and then coming back with questions.

HTH,

Simon
