[discuss] Fwd: Open Office 3.3 Problems
Further to the subject, I continue to encounter anomolies and misfunctions: Re. the VLOOKUP(), the references are to *.cvx, i.e. comma (,) delimited spreadsheets. Each time the objective file is opened (i.e. referring file), OO 3.3 brings up Text Import to convert to an *.xls.format. I save all files in .xls format to maintain compatability. With OO 3.2 upon first time import I would convert to *.xls format; thereafter with each opening of the objective file, upon clicking Update), the file would open updated from all imported files. The previously mentioned problem, that Paste Special-numbers formats only from a VLOOKUP cell, pastes an empty cell. This rendere OO 3.3 useless to me. Is OO 3.3 the latest version?, If there is a more recent version I would try it. Otherwise, I either need OO 3.2 or must go to another office program. I can't imagine the problems are unique to my applications. What say you? From: jr...@aol.com To: discuss@openoffice.org, malte.timmerm...@sun.com Sent: 11/21/2011 5:01:05 P.M.

[discuss] Re: HTMT interactive
Dear Eduardo: Depending on the details of what you would like to do, this should be quite possible. I have done spreadsheet workbooks to handle: -Industrial chemical inventories with ongoing turnover (Weight or Volume, English or Metric, Canadian or U.s. Dollars in combination. This was normally used ongoing day to day to manage purchasing and stock reserve for jobs planned for production. -Sales tracker for an Automobile dealer: This dealer has about 20 regular salesmen and one Fleet Salesman. A regular salesman could sell up to 100 vehicles a month. The Fleet salesman could sell up to 200, as he was selling largely to Car rental companies during the month, possible with some government sales. A secretary supported the sales team full time, entering certain specific information about each sale in the sheet related to the salesman who sole it. e.g. Profit figure, model and type, duration of lease, etc. and type of contract. Each model and each type of contract had specific mnemonic codes that were common to dealers in that brand of vehicles. At the end of the month, only 2 of about 25 sheets were printed: One went to the sales manager to support his keeping track of thew performance of each salesman. The other went to the general manager who, as far as I now used his customized report to determine which cars he would order in the next business cycle from the auto manufacturer - This would suggest a lot of financial responsibility resting on that report! The spreadsheet was then cloned for each successive month without the input data and so the cycle repeated monthly. -Another application was designed for industries based in a recipe by weight with adds testing. The initial recipe was entered with quantities designed to produce a test batch of 50 gm. This was then made up in the lab and tested. If the qualities desired were not exactly satisfactory, the lab would add small snippets of one or other ingredient. Each time the lab had to add, naturally the batch was larger than 50 gm. Therefore the batch ingredient weights were normalized' or proportioned to render weights for a 50 gram batch with the modified proportions of the ingredients. The spreadsheet would track this for up to 10 adds. Since the mixing machine had a capacity of 50 Kg., it was easy to multiple the normalized weights by 1000 to get a list of a production batch. When an order came in, the requested quantity was divided by the batch size of 50 Kg. to give the number of batches needed for the order. In another sheet, a bill of ingredients automatically calculated the total weight of each ingredient needed for the whole order. In another column of this sheet, the weight of available stock for each ingredient was pasted from the ongoing inventory, and the remaining quantity in stock after the order was filed would be shown. In the event that there was insufficient quantity of any ingredient, a red flag would show to draw the stock manager's attention. He then could arrange purchasing for the shortages. Finally he could post a reserve quantity for any or all of the ingredients in the inventory so that the proforma available quantities would show. A bottom line figure for the value of inventory with or without the reserved items would then show on the summary page. In the summary page, each ingredient was a line, the totals being pinned at the top. In the column on the summary page where the product description was to go, the descriptions were actually hyperlinks to the corresponding detail electronic ledger pages, so there was no need to struggle with the tabs in a workbook of easily 100 sheets. Generally, in each application, the details are entered in detail pages, and the results show on one or more summary pages, depending on how many different report are needed to support different personnel each with different needs. ¡La versatilidad y la complexidad son hermanos - son siempre in los mismos lugares!

It seems remarkably few to me, especially as the 'dev' list has well over 600. Many more users participate via the Community Forums, at: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ There are also versions in other languages: http://user.services.openoffice.org/ The English-language support forum has over 45,000 members, for example.

[discuss] Announcement: New Apache OpenOffice.org mail list to replace this list
Please read this note in its entirety. It contains important information related to this mailing list, its migration to the Apache Software Foundation, and the steps you must take to ensure continuous access to the list. Background As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo) code to Apache in June. All new projects at Apache start in the Incubator, a special part of Apache where new projects (Podlings) and their communities are given special attention by Apache mentors as they learn about Apache, ensure that the source code meets Apache's license requirements, and work toward their initial Apache release. In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can publish Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org community, working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is migrating the many legacy OOo websites and other online services formerly hosted by Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers. This has been a huge effort and we are showing good progress in many areas. You can read more about the current status of the migration effort on this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/OpenOffice.org+Migration+Status Additional relevant information is published in our project blog at: http://blogs.apache.org/OOO/ Resubscribing Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo servers are over 300 mailing lists, including the discuss@openoffice.org mailing list you are reading now. In order to preserve your subscription to the list, you will need to resubscribe to the new list address, per the following instructions: 1.Send an email to ooo-users-subscr...@incubator.apache.org. This should be done from the email account where you want to receive the list messages. 2.This will generate a confirmation email which will be sent to your email address. You will need to reply to the confirmation email in order to complete your subscription to the new list. 3.To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the following address: ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org 4.And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you can do so by sending an email to ooo-users-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org We invite and encourage you to follow the above steps and to participate in Apache OpenOffice.org project. If you have any questions, feel free to post as responses to this note, or send a question to ooo-...@incubator.apache.org. Notes 1. We recommend that you do not subscribe via a legacy openoffice.org email address. It is uncertain at this point whether these addresses will be supported in the future. 2. Archives of the legacy mailing lists are available here: http://openoffice.markmail.org/ 3. Archives of the new mailing lists will be available here: http://markmail.org/search/+list:org.apache.incubator.ooo-users -- The Apache OpenOffice.org (Incubating) Project Management Committee -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

[discuss] My idea for rescue OOo
Hello , Open Office team ! I heard that OOo can be closed. And consequently I have decided to offer the idea on project rescue. The idea is simple. To simplify official registration of papers with formulas. The matter is that it is impossible to insert values of variables into formula Math. And in state standards it is necessary to write the formula containing both variables and given (values of variables). Algorithm of actions of the user: 1. Document creation 2. Formula addition 3. Addition of the data for substitution in the formula. 4. Reception of the formula with the substituted values. 5. A formula arrangement in conformity to state standards. Idea 2 To connect this formula with Sage (http://www.sagemath.org/) for realization of calculations of formulas. It will be killer application ( MathCad) Я слышал , что Ооо может закрыться. И поэтому я решил предложить свою идею по спасению проекта. Идея проста . Упростить оформление документов с формулами. Дело в том, что в формулу Math нельзя вставить значения переменных. А в государственных стандартах необходимо писать формулу содержащую и переменные и данные (значения переменных). Алгоритм действий пользователя : 1. Создание документа 2. Добавление формулы 3. Добавление данных для подстановки в формулу. 4. Получение формулы с подставленными значениями. 5. Расположение формулы в соответствии государственным стандартам. Идея 2 Связать эту формулу с Sage (http://www.sagemath.org/) для осуществления расчетов формул. Это будет killer application для Math Cad Искренне хочу вам помочь !

Not surprising. PDF documents are designed as read only, for printing purposes, not as a copyable media. We did not find any difficulties when we use Open office in Microsoft Windows platform. Embedded fonts in one PDF file may be on one computer not another. Niether OpenOffice.org nor Microsoft Office will use the fonts embedded in the PDF but will rely on the current system fonts.

That is we would like to use Open office in Linux platform without this formatting issues. Kindly let us know. Preferably get your files in some other format than PDF. PDF format is not designed to be editable by word processors, but is a common output format.

[discuss] Re: New Idea
On Saturday 01 October 2011 00:00, John Hayden wrote: Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you can put me in touch with the appropriate person at Open Office. I'm an innovator based in Dublin with an idea which may be of interest to you but of course, i ask for a non-disclosure agreement to be signed information concerning the idea to be taken in confidence. I think you miss-understand the whole idea of a Free Open Source Software project (FOSS) like OpenOffice.org (OO.o). Open Source means the the source code of the project is open to anyone to view or edit as the case may be. This means there is no need for non disclosure agreements as little money is to be made from developing software for an Open Source project. It does not mean that there is no author rights in the code they produce. Just that they do not write the code for large sums of money. Some companies invest programmers in the project because they use the product themselves as an alternative to the paid for software. The process by which bugs, updates and Requests For Enhancement (RFE's) are handled is also different. They are all usually handled through a single open on-line bug tracker database (open because anyone may register and raise an issue). This bug tracker is/was part of the QA section of the www.openoffice.org website. Due to the large number of users and large range of abilities, this tracker is an involved process to get into. This is to prevent frivolous bugs being constantly added (I can't download OO.o on dial-up for example). There is also some flux in the community at present in that Oracle bought Sun Microsystems and OO.o with it. There was a community split which saw LibreOffice created as a parallel project. More recently OO.o code-base has been donated by Oracle to the Apache Project to continue as a FOSS project. This project is still in the incubator project stages. None of this however prevents you from using the code and adding your Value Added Portion to it to produce your idea yourself, or hiring a developer to do this for you, or putting your idea into the bug tracker for LibreOffice or OO.o QA and seeing what the devs think. The software licence does have some requirements you must follow if you do alter/add to the code. PS. The reason FOSS projects are so open is that it enables people to re-use the source code for other projects without having to reinvent the wheel every time from scratch. -- Michael -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

[discuss] Save in .XSLX format.
Dear Lars: From my experience exporting spreadsheets, generally the following: 1)Importing and exporting data generally works in most cases, however not without some caveats. 2)In the case of Spreadsheets, I suggest you export (save as) the latest Excel version available to you, then allow Excel to import that. 3)This will likely give you most of what you want, however... 3a)If the original spreadsheet contains hyperlinks, these will likely need to be cleaned up. usually, in Excel, if you then select the cell containing each hyperlink, and press [CTRL-K], you will see the errant hyperlink and be in a position to correct it. 4)There may also be the occasional formula that needs fixing. The more complex the formula, and the more obscure the verbs in that formula, the greater the likelihood this will occur. Therefore, if I were to export a simple workbook of one or 2 spreadsheets, I likely would have no cleanup issues. However if my workbook is a complex batch recipe analyser, or an inventory controller with 20 to 100 sheets, including a summary page at the beginning which contains a list of hyperlinks to all those other sheets, etc. and maybe a hyperlink or 2 that contains a DDE reference, I can expect I will have my share of rework in Excel.

There is some talk about removing the old converters that import the old StarOffice binary formats into OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. I don't think that has happened just yet. I would test both (say OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice 3.3.x stable versions) and make sure that some of your most important/complex documents will round-trip between StarOffice and back again without difficulty. Or if not roundtrip, that they at least open in those versions without difficulty. Then hold onto the version that works best for you. You should be able to hold onto either 3.3.x for a considerable time. At some point you should consider migrating documents to the later ODF format.

[discuss] About Updates and other stuffs
Hello. I'm an old user of Open Office. Already I've installed 3.2. But now that a better one appears, I want to know if the update occurs automatically when I run the new package, the number 3.3 version, or I need to delete the existing one and install this new.

From that, it appears then, that Open Office will now be an Apache thing (from Star Division to Sun to Oracle to Apache)? I am not sure, but, from memory, it was the local Sun office, that gave me the copy(/ies) of the discs for Star Office 5.2 or 5.3, which started me on the journey (although, I still prefer Star Office 5.3, with all the functionality it had :) ). I would have thought, however, in the circumstances, that, for the sake of transparency and convenience, Oracle would have similarly donated the domain name registration, to Apache, which would then have been able to host the Open Office mailing lists on its own servers, and, just changed the domain name registration, including the nameservers, and thus have had a fairly seamless transfer, with no need to change the mailing lists, so, one day, the lists are hosted on one set of servers (Oracle?) and the next day, the mailing lists are hosted on a different set of servers (Apache foundation), thus, apart from possibly, a few hours at the time of transference, no visible change need be apparent to lists subscribers. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

[discuss] Re: [ANN] This list is migrating to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org
It is my understanding that the OpenOffice.org trademarks and all of the various domain registrations are being transferred to the Apache Software Foundation. It might well be that a full-up site transfer can be pulled off, but it is the case that Apache infrastructure does not support everything that runs on the current OpenOffice.org sites and there may not be adequate resources to migrate and support them, like for like. Everything at ASF is done by volunteers. If it is something not already supported on Apache infrastructure, there has to be Apache OOo project members who step forward to carry out migration and continuing maintenance at the IT infrastructure level. We are completely missing any technical support for migrating, preserving, and operating these mailing lists, for example. That is a serious factual problem behind Rob Weir's warning that these lists may go away. (The message was more emphatic than that, but it isn't over until it's over.) Another example is the MediaWiki that is used on OpenOffice.org. There is no MediaWiki instance running anywhere at Apache. One was brought up on a test server provided by Apache on the condition that we had volunteers who could maintain it. Likewise for the forums. Moving Bugzilla, the Issue Tracker, was easy because that is an already-supported product on Apache infrastructure. Even then, it was not possible to preserve existing user passwords, so existing users have to go through a password-reset procedure in order to be set up on the new Bugzilla. Even then, there are lots of broken connections and other materials on OpenOffice.org that need to be corrected as well. The plumbing underneath the OpenOffice.org sites and their services is quite intricate and it is not a matter of just doing a system dump and coming up on another server that Apache can operate and direct the domain names to. You might be surprised to learn that there is more than one server involved, but that is all hidden under the façade of the overall site and domain name. Does that help? Too much information? - Dennis -Original Message- From: Bret Busby [mailto:b...@busby.net] Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 21:40 To: discuss@openoffice.org Subject: [discuss] Re: [ANN] This list is migrating to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org On Mon, 5 Sep 2011, David B Teague sr wrote: [ ... ] You know that Oracle inherited OO.o by way of their purchase of SUN.

[discuss] Re: [ANN] This list is migrating to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org
Um, why which? Why being migrated, or why being combined with users? 1. The us...@openoffice.org and discuss@openoffice.org are noticed to be rather much of the same nature these days, so it is proposed that the counterpart of both at the Apache OOo Incubator be the single ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org. (That was the easy one.) 2. The retirement here is speculated to happen when the hosting is no longer on Oracle-supported infrastructure and the openoffice.org domain(s) are hosted on infrastructure supplied by the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache OOo Podling has not identified resources by which it can support so many different lists and support them in the manner that they are supported here. There are some differences in how governance of services works for Apache projects that is also a factor. There is a longer post that provides the best summary I have been able to pull together to reflect the situation at the Apache OOo Podling at the moment (2011-09-04). It is the thread on the users list starting with this message: http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive/2011-09/message/65. I am interested in any further questions. I will endeavor to provide follow-up information as the picture solidifies and the prospects for OpenOffice.org web site preservation/migration become more concrete. - Dennis (just an interested participant on the Apache OOo Podling) -Original Message- From: Bret Busby [mailto:b...@busby.net] Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2011 21:51 To: discuss@openoffice.org Subject: [discuss] Re: [ANN] This list is migrating to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org On Sun, 4 Sep 2011, Rob Weir wrote: Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2011 00:38:03 -0400 From: Rob Weir robw...@apache.org Reply-To: discuss@openoffice.org To: discuss@openoffice.org Subject: [discuss] [ANN] This list is migrating to ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org Please note that, as part of the overall migration of OpenOffice.org to Apache, this discuss list will be retired.

At LibreOffice, each mailinglist has its own forum so you can search just the part of the forum you're interested in. Thanks for the hint. Sounds interesting.

Am 26.08.2011 02:31, schrieb NoOp: And those 'new' users should be directed to a web forum with the option to also use a mailing list instead. This approach (as implemented in OOo) has the disadvantage that the knowledge base is split. If ML and forum used and filled the same archive, we probably wouldn't discuss which one should be used: it would be just a matter of personal preferences. The more I think about it, the more I like that. I participate in many, many mail lists on a daily basis cannot possible begin to imagine trying to do so if all were web based forums. I also eliminate the need to fill my mailbox with messages from each by utilizing nntp via the gmane.org server. That way I can easily search the threads, see the new subjects headers, mark a thread as read if it is of no interest to me, mark threads as read by date if I've been away for a few days, tag threads by headers, and killfile a 'VENDAS - VITALLY' if I wish. Further I can easily switch from this list to the user list, etc., at the click of a mouse. And finally, if I wish to have an local archive of the list, I simply set my nntp reader (SeaMonkey) to download for offline viewing/sorting/searching etc. I can't do that with a web based forum. Sure, experienced users with a capable mail client can do a lot of things with their local mail database. If the client uses a standardized format like mbox, even more is possible as there are a lot of tools available that work on mbox and allow to do things that the mail program itself can't. And developers can even create their own tools. But what about the less tech savvy users, the users for whom the support media are created? Many of them have problems with even the simplest functions of their mail program. Such as? Can you honestly demonstrate a web based forum that the user can quickly and easily do as I do with my gmane.org nntp mail list setup? As I don't know how quick and easy you can do that, I won't try. :-) But I'm sure that the average (and moreover the less than average) OOo user can operate web fora better than a mail program (if they use one at all, many people use web frontends for mail). Add to that the excellent point made by Andy Brown regarding bandwidth/dialup issue. OOo targets all types of users, but is of particular value to 3rd world (includes US areas) users with limited and/or no regular internet connectivity. Thinking about that: subscribing to the ML and getting lots of mails in return most probably also needs some bandwidth. And if you want to search the archive, you have to use the web anyway. Posting a question to a forum and just reading its thread might use even less bandwidth than subscribing to this ML. But anyway, I confess that I really can't judge that as I never have been on dial-up, my first internet connection was DSL already. As a developer I like stackoverflow.com where posts and replies can be voted and posters get credits in return (simply put). Both means can help users to get through the jungle of posts and find the best answer just by searching, not by asking. And posts can be tagged, so you can search for them much better and faster than just scanning subjects. And you'd expect the same new users to OOo to understand: http://stackoverflow.com/search No. :-) This site was just an example that I know where such features are used. Of course it needs to be used in a simpler and nicer way to please typical users of an application like OOo. Many web fora at least have some rating functions already that are quite simple to use. The additional functionality that e.g. stackoverflow offers is that posts can be tagged, answers can be sorted by votes and that posters can gain something like credibility. A lot of things are possible in an environment where the whole communication process is under control of a single entity. E-Mail is nailed to the used protocols and what can be expected in the majority of mail clients. Again, we should try to become more open for new development and evaluate it without preconceived opinions. Yes we should. My initial post still stands: The answer is quite simple: notify all posters in the thread that their current thread all further ooo-...@incubator.apache.org discussions will be closed immediately and transferred to a web forum site instead. Are you talking about this list? I don't think that discuss should be moved to a web forum, I was just musing about user lists.
