RE: Drop Down Menu in AOO4.1.1
Let me try my understanding and perhaps help to calibrate what you are after. 1. Consider a button that would pop out a small calendar in the usual format, with navigation from month to month and the typical 4-5 rows of date numbers against days of the week. There might also be some convenience for navigating to distant months that do not have the current date. Clicking on a date would cause the specified date to inserted into a currently-selected cell. Closing the calendar without clicking would not make an entry. If the calendar pop-out is kept active, other dates could be selected into other cells. 2. Another pop-out might be more like a calculator that works with dates. That is more of a stretch. Some of your examples suggest that kind of activity. Q1. With regard to (1), which might be an interesting exercise for creation of an extension, I wonder how close one can get already by the ways that date-formatted cells accept abbreviated entries. For example, entering a month and day, such as 01-28 (today in my locale settings) can automatically enter a full calendar date in the current year. This is commonplace. I don't know what would happen if I entered just 28 when the cell is already formatted to contain a date. I know this is not the same as being able to look at a calendar and use the orientation that provides to help us determine a past or future date. Is it any saving of effort, so long that you have a calendar handy? Q2. Would a utility that ran outside of OpenOffice Calc that provided (1), and put a full calendar date (and even times converted from the local time) onto the clipboard for pasting into a document of any kind, including Calc cells be a step in the right direction that would give you some of the working efficiency you care about? Note that I have omitted consideration of date calculations since those are easily accomplished with Calc already, just as calculations among other cell entries. It takes some understanding of cell formatting for date-times and for time intervals, but there is extensive support in Calc already. - Dennis PS: For any follow-up, please reply to users @ openoffice.apache.org where other experts may have advice and others can learn the solutions to common problems.

RE: Mac OS Yosemite
Been working fine for me ... Although I have noticed that Calc in 4.1.1. sometimes crashes on opening if I have too many things already open. But I suspect that is because my machine is old - only 4 GB of RAM. So I open it first thing and no problems. I started with 4.1.0 sometime early last year (I think) when I was still on Mavericks and lazily migrated over to 4.1.1 quite sometime after I upgraded to Yosemite - seamlessly. Cheers.

RE: Windows 8, Open Office Install Failed
Hi John, Sometimes there are failures because of incompatibilities in protocols. And sometimes there is a failure somewhere in the path between the download and you. The next time you try, please make note of the following things: 1. The name and version of the browser you are using. 2. Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1 and on what computer? 3. When you go to http://openoffice.org/download and select download for Windows, and are patiently waiting for the download to start (don't click anything), note what it says about Mirror provided by: in the bar that mentions Apache OpenOffice and what to do if the download doesn't start or doesn't work. 4. When the download starts and you are asked to run or save the file, note the from there too. Save the file of course. 5. Where are you saving the file? If you have tried more than once, it helps to give the files different names so you can compare what ends up being there. If the problem persists, please provide that information with your report back to this list. Here is further investigation that you can conduct. 6. Does the file that is stored resemble the name of the file, but it may say something like -partial on the end? 7. If the file seems to be there (it will be about 134 MB), there is more you can do. (The file properties, if you check them by right-clicking on the file name in the Windows File Explorer, should provide a size of 140,910,890 bytes.) 8. If it doesn't seem to be there it means there was some sort of interruption and it is then necessary to look for other causes. Let us know and we can look at how to trouble-shoot that. 9. If the file repeatedly seems to be complete, but failure is stated every time, rename the file so everything *after* .exe in the name that was used is stripped off. 10. If you know how to do this, you can download a digital hash value for the download you have and check the hash to confirm that the file is actually complete and downloaded accurately. 11. If (10) indicates the file was corrupted then treat the same as (8, above) and include these further details in your report. 12. If you don't do (10) or the digital hash checks, you can attempt executing the installer. Save all open work first. 13. When you attempt execution, it may fail immediately. If the installer starts up, it will check the file itself. If that checks out, the installation will probably proceed correctly. - Dennis PS: For any follow-up, please reply to users @ openoffice.apache.org where other experts may have advice and others can learn the solutions to common problems.

If you have tried more than once, it helps to give the files different names so you can compare what ends up being there. If the problem persists, please provide that information with your report back to this list. Here is further investigation that you can conduct. 6. Does the file that is stored resemble the name of the file, but it may say something like -partial on the end? 7. If the file seems to be there (it will be about 134 MB), there is more you can do. (The file properties, if you check them by right-clicking on the file name in the Windows File Explorer, should provide a size of 140,910,890 bytes.) 8. If it doesn't seem to be there it means there was some sort of interruption and it is then necessary to look for other causes. Let us know and we can look at how to trouble-shoot that. 9. If the file repeatedly seems to be complete, but failure is stated every time, rename the file so everything *after* .exe in the name that was used is stripped off. 10. If you know how to do this, you can download a digital hash value for the download you have and check the hash to confirm that the file is actually complete and downloaded accurately. 11. If (10) indicates the file was corrupted then treat the same as (8, above) and include these further details in your report. 12. If you don't do (10) or the digital hash checks, you can attempt executing the installer. Save all open work first. 13. When you attempt execution, it may fail immediately. If the installer starts up, it will check the file itself. If that checks out, the installation will probably proceed correctly. - Dennis PS: For any follow-up, please reply to users @ openoffice.apache.org where other experts may have advice and others can learn the solutions to common problems.

2015-01-28 13:19 GMT+01:00 Mark Harris imm...@bigpond.com: Openoffice is the best thing since sliced bread. However, I cannot insert a music character on its own such a Semibreve, Minim, Chrotchet, Quaver etc. on their own without being attached in a staff. It is very frustrating when I'm writing notes. When you say ”writing notes”, do youreferring to writing music? Characters like 턞 ♭ 턆 ♯♩♮♩♭♩ 턇 ? I'm not sure I understand your problem. If you want to write music, there are much more appropriate software for doing that. Or are you just writing ABOUT music and need some musical characters here and there? Musical symbols are located from U+1D100 – U+1D1DD. If you are running some kind of Linux you can easily type them by just entering Ctrl+Shift+u and their UNICODE. If you are running something else, I don't know. Probably just as easy. Here are the symbols that are supported in my system, maybe I installed some font that wasn't originally included, but I don't think so: 턀 턁 턂 턃 턄 턅 턆 턇 턈 턉 턊 턋 턌 턍 턎 턏 턐 턑 턒 턓 턔 턕 턖 턗 턘 턙 턚 턛 턜 턝 턞 턟 턠 턡 턢 턣 턤 턥 턦 턩 턪 턫 턬 턭 턮 턯 터 턱 턲 턳 턴 턵 턶 턷 털 턹 턺 턻 턼 턽 턾 턿 텀 텁 텂 텃 텄 텅 텆 텇 텈 텉 텊 텋 테 텍 텎 텏 텐 텑 텒 텓 텔 텕 텖 텗 텘 텚 텛 템 텝 텞 텟 텠 텡 텢 텣 텤텥텦텧텨텩 텪 텫 텬텭텮텯텰텱텲텻텼텽텾텿톀톁톂 톃 톄톅톆톇톈톉톊톋 톌 톍 톎 톏 톐 톑 톒 톓 톔 톕 톖 톗 톘 톙 톚 톛 톜 톝 톞 톟 토 톡 톢 톣 톤 톥 톦 톧 톨 톩톪톫톬톭 톮 톯 톰 톱 톲 톳 톴 통 톶 톷 톸 톹 톺 톻 톼 톽 톾 톿 퇀 퇁 퇂 퇃 퇄 퇅 퇆 퇇 퇈 퇉 퇊 퇋 퇌 퇍 퇎 퇏 퇐 퇑 퇒 퇓 퇔 퇕 퇖 퇗 퇘 퇙 퇚 퇛 퇜 퇝 Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ Is there any way of doing this without using a staff so I can put these characters on their own.
