Hello,
I’ve been using your program for my bowling league for years. When I first signed up, 
I had an email address of grammy...@msn.com. Someone 
hacked into that email and Microsoft told me to use another email address. I’ve been 
trying to find your website where I could find a phone number to get help but I can’t 
find anything that looks like a website. How can I change the email address if I 
can’t even find a website, like the one I use to go to for my downloads for the open 
office.
Thank you,

Re: Complaint: "buggy implementations"

[Hagar Delest]

Le 24/10/2020 à 21:38, William Lee Valentine a écrit :

In response to Mr. Olsson's recent complaint about combining graphics
with text in Writer: my documentation for Writer (distinct from that
provided with OpenOffice) indicates that, when one wants a picture to
appear in one of Writer's documents, one should click on "Insert >
Picture > From file", then select the graphic from the listing displayed
for a given directory, then click on "Open", and the graphic will appear
(at the cursor position?) in the given document.

This seems straightforward. I do not understand why Mr. Olsson would
find this disconcerting or difficult.
I fully understand Mr. Olsson's complaint. In the Forum, we are indeed 
used to advise saving any picture to be embedded in AOO on the HD first 
and then to insert it with the relevant menu.

However, this is not a very good user experience.
Why the user should not expect a copy-paste to carry over a picture as 
it is?
Very often when I copy a pic from another application, it appears fine 
and then after a short while (few seconds or a save operation), it is 
replaced by a placeholder.
If AOO manages to display the pic in the first place, then why should it 
lose it afterward?
Why AOO can't make a copy of the pic in the temporary files to prevent 
any loss? Why can't it accomplish what the user has to do, that is, save 
the file in its original format and insert it?
Note that I never filed a bug report for that. First because there 
already too many reports for too few coders and second because I often 
adjust the pic before actually inserting it in the document.
But still, many users expect a copy-paste to behave as a very trivial 
operation.



In his reply, Martin Groensheij indicates that "the most reliable way
is to insert [the graphic] in a frame." I assume that the frame helps
because it fixes the position of the graphic within the document's
borders.

My question is: does Writer's documentation indicate that it is
preferable to insert graphics within frames?

-- William Lee Valentine
Personally, I only anchor pics As character, it is clearly the most 
robust anchoring. And I use tables if I need to have pics side by side 
and/or add a caption.

Frames have always been tricky when it comes to resizing a pic inside.

Re: Open Office 4.[1.7] Spell Checker

[Hagar Delest]

Le 13/10/2020 à 18:31, Brian Barker a écrit :
Aha! But this problem is not a matter of "the spell checker doesn't 
work", so we don't know - indeed you don't know - that this is what 
the original questioner is experiencing. And you didn't indicate that 
this different problem - that spelling checking works until you 
mishandle your computer but then doesn't - is what you were talking about.

What makes you think that the user mishandled his computer?
This has been a recurring issue in the forum as well. I can't believe 
that all these users do mishandle their computer.


Deleting the this folder and then running OOo corrects this as you 
already know. LibreOffice has learned how to avoid this. Since these 
two office programs are very similar, I would think that the solution 
would be to apply the same solution.


Yes, I agree that this later problem should be prevented, but we 
should not give users generally the untrue idea that "the spell 
checker doesn't work". Meanwhile we should encourage them into the 
good practice that avoids it anyway.

What kind of best practice do you have in mind?

There IS an issue somewhere. I do not doubt that this is a weird issue 
but it happens, period. If LO has fixed the problem, then they may have 
found something, then there may be something to be found.

Re: French judges using OpenOffice - need help create a document template with "fields"

[Hagar Delest]

I used to use it a little bit in the past.
The trick is that the wording is rather confusing. Actually:
To create the field to be edited: Insert → Fields → Other → Variables → 
Type=User field → Format=Text → Name=Give_it_a_name → 
Value=what_you_want, then click Insert.
To insert the field in several places in the document: Insert → Fields → 
Other → Variables → Type=Input field → Selection=The_field 
created_previously → Reference=Don't_know_what_it_is_for → Insert. Do 
that as many time you need the field to be repeated. It can be pasted also.


To edit the content of the field, double-click the first instance of 
User field inserted.


If you need the field to be edited wherever in the document (all 
instances will be updated at once), then only insert the same User field 
in multiple places.


Don't know what the Reference field is really for in those dialogs (adds 
a title to the input dialog but what's the point?).
When inserting the Input field, a dialog appears but it occurs only at 
this time (you can change the value of the field or leave it as it is). 
Double-clicking it afterwards does nothing at all.

I cannot help with any personal experience of the use of fields, but the 
following article and the files linked from it have been of use to OpenOffice 
users with a similar problem.

permissive option; or checking (just for testing purposes) with 4.1.1 
and see if it behaves the way you expect.

Re: I registered for your forum but no email to me

[Hagar Delest]

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for the kind words!
The community is also so great that it's a pleasure to help.
Note that it really has evolved along the years. There used to be 
ranting in the early years and we do see less and less of those guys.


For the record, activation mail was in the spam, everything is ok now 
for Mike (has already logged in).


Won't have access to the ML for Christmas time, so have a good break all.

Da'anzho Apache, (in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, You can look it up)

  


It's prob'ly been ten year since I logged in, maybe longer, so I tried to
register, BUT . my email is already in use, so I tried to log in, BUT . the
two most common user names I use weren't recognized, BUT . you don't have a
link to email me my username upon some further identification.

  


Let me ask what I want to know.  I wrote a 425 page novel 30 years ago
before computers that almost got published, BUT . merger mania intervened,
and those editors were offed.  Staples converted it to PDF.  Adobe
supposedly converted that to Word, BUT . only the first 14 pages are
editable, and eve they had every kind of typographical reconfiguration like
bunching words together, some of which I could space apart, others I had to
paste and redo, as well as 50 megaspaces between words on every page that I
had to backarrow.

 The rest reverts to Picture Tools in purple above the task
bar with that insidious cross of theirs everywhere I move the cursor, like
the target fixture in a sub periscope screen, aiming to blow up my whole
document AND Word with it.

  


I don't recall seeing Apache Word or Writing or Office as an option in the
Adobe export menu.  IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, SO I CAN EDIT MY OLD
NOVEL?

  


Thanks.

Hi,

Beware, you're not subscribed to the list, you've missed some other replies 
(you can check them in the web-based mail archives however).

But basically, the message is: you're out of luck.
What would be the point of a password if it were that simple to crack it?

The only way is to try brute force cracking but it will take you too much time 
I guess.
If you can't try the multiple possibilities you can remember, then consider 
your file lost.

In the days of the OOo users mailing list this filter worked, plus the
OOo list management software had the facility to add [MODERATED] to the
subject line, making it very easy to identify and/or filter
non-subscribed posts.

The filter no longer works for clients such as Thunderbird, because they
only detect the first "Delivered-To:" header tag and the ezmlm software
used by AOO places the "Delivered-To: moderator" tag 3rd. or 4th. in the
list:

Delivered-To: 
Delivered-To: apmail-
Delivered-To: mailing list users@openoffice.apache.org
Delivered-To: moderator for users@openoffice.apache.org

For unspecified reasons some members of the PMC have repeatedly resisted
my proposal for a small change in ezmlm software to reinstate the
[MODERATED] flag in the subject line.

Dave

I use TB 60.2.1 (64 bits) on Xubuntu and the filter does work (version from the 
distro).

The situation is the same with and without preload. And even without

Re: problem with text file

[Hagar Delest]

Hi,

To be clear, there is absolutely no way to recover your file as it is.
At best, you can try to recover something from the temporary files, see: 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=84056
Have you made sure there was no back-up in the profile (if you had the option 
Always create a backup copy checked in the options)?

Very often, it is linked to power shortage during the save operation.

Trying to remember which will get me flamed less, top posting or bottom posting 
.

Lets start with (2) because it is the easiest to answer.

So, the answer is, I have no idea, it depends on what object Target is.

Is this a Cell? A Range?

If this is a SheetRange, then you should be able to use 
"Target.RangeAddress.StartColumn". If this is already a Range address, then you should be 
able to use "Target.StartColumn".

I know this is not a cell address, or Column would already work. Does it work if you use 
"Target.getCellAddress().Column"?

Sadly, you probably need to fix (1) before looking at (2).

Question (1) is more difficult because you want to perform a search.

I assume from the name that rng is a sheet range, Sadly, searching in AOO is 
much more difficult than in Excel (using macros).

If you comment out the offending lines, does it complain if you use something 
like:

rng.CreateSearchDescriptor()

If that does not cause a failure, then you have a sheet cell range and you can 
create a search descriptor. I hvae no idea about the use of Lookat or LookIn.

Here are some of the properties that are probably supported by your search 
descriptor.

STRING  ImplementationName = ScCellSearchObj
STRING  ReplaceString =
BOOL  SearchBackwards = False
BOOL  SearchByRow = False
BOOL  SearchCaseSensitive = False
BOOL  SearchRegularExpression = False
BOOL  SearchSimilarity = False
INTEGER  SearchSimilarityAdd = 2
INTEGER  SearchSimilarityExchange = 2
BOOL  SearchSimilarityRelax = False
INTEGER  SearchSimilarityRemove = 2
STRING  SearchString =
BOOL  SearchStyles = False
INTEGER  SearchType = 0
BOOL  SearchWildcard = False
BOOL  SearchWords = False

I am guessing that this does a row based search, so you might begin with 
something like:

Dim oSearchDescriptor
oSearchDescriptor = rng.CreateSearchDescriptor()
oSearchDescriptor.SearchByRow = true

Your macro searches in the direction last used (or so it seems), if not, it 
seems that you can probably set SearchBackwards to true or false depending on 
the direction that you want.

Beyond that I am only guessing. Is this looking for the text "*"? I have no 
idea what your second parameter does there.

If you can fill out the search descriptor, you will probably need to use 
something like this totally untested

  Dim oFound
  oFound = rng.findFirst(oDescriptor)
  Do While Not IsNull(oFound)
' Do something with the oFound object
' Off hand, it looks like you really only need to find the first thing
' and then use it for something. Maybe you really just need to find the 
last one, I can only guess.
' I am really guessing on this next line.
oFound = rng.findNext(oFound, oDescriptor)
  Loop

a good suite which I used to use at a regular basis with my old computer. Now 
everything is blurry and nothing I try to do about it seem to work. Can barely

When you say ".docx" which of the following file formats do you mean:
* ECMA-376;
* ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional

I thought that there was also an ISO/IEC 29500 Provisional, but right
now, I can't find any details about it.

Or do you mean ".docx" as produced by:
* Word 2003;
* Word 2004;

* Word 2008;
* Word 2010;
* Word 2011;
* Word 2013;
* Word 2016;
* MSO 365;

That is 13 different file formats, each with their own mutually
exclusive idiosyncrasies and specifications.

Apache OpenOffice could save to ISO 29500 strict, but the price for that
would be guaranteed incompatibility with Microsoft Office, because MSO
does not support ISO 29500 strict.

It can happen that an installation of OpenOffice "out-of-the-box"  produces a 
corrupt user profile, which can cause instability.  The cure for this is to delete or 
rename the old user profile; OO will then generate a new profile on next startup.

Details of the User Profile for various operating systems
are given in

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/v ... 74=12426

If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

If that does not improve stability, start Windows in Safe Mode.  If OO runs 
stable in Windows safe mode the culprit is some program or driver that runs in 
Windows normal mode, which program or driver is interfering with OpenOffice. 
Common culprits are Skype, Anti virus, continuous backup programs ad utilities 
which monitor the Clipboard.  To locate the culprit needs systematic detective 
work on the affected computer.

The quick cure for this is to delete (if a new install) or rename (if you have 
been using OpenOffice for some time and have customisation, such as user 
dictionaries, the OpenOffice user profile.

Details of the User Profile for various operating systems
are given in

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/v ... 74=12426

If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

It can sometimes happen that an installation produces a faulty user
profile "out of the box". The above fix works in the vast majority of cases.
To prevent this happening again, be leisurely in your closing down of the 
computer after properly closing your OO file and OO. Use the formal computer 
closedown procedure and wait for a few seconds to be certain all disk activity 
has ceased - damage to the spellchecker often occurs if the computer is powered 
down before the hardware/software write buffers have flushed. The few extra 
seconds will be less than the time needed to correct the problem, or, more 
likely, to rebuild a damaged file which can also occur through such over-hasty 
shutdown.

Try to reset your profile as described here:

It should take care of the spell check.

I have Open Office 4.1.3 and the spell checker will not connect to the 
dictionary.  It tells me that the dictionary is installed and I have the 
language set to English.  Yet, EVERY word is red-underlined as misspelled.

I even removed Open Office, rebooted, and re-installed Open Office. No fix.

What can I do?

Re: can't open documents .docx

[Hagar Delest]

Hi,

OpenOffice does open .docx but sometimes files can be too complex. Try another 
application.
Or ask the sender to resend the file in .doc or .odt or PDF if you don't need 
to edit the file.

Re: DOCX file extension

[Hagar Delest]

Well, I think that it clearly tells how this discussion has evolved.
No need to further feed the troll.
docx and OOXML is a recurrent hot topic. I think that it has been clearly 
demonstrated that AOO can open docx, period.
If some want to think otherwise and express that, they should just remember 
that such falsehoods are stored in the mailing list and they will reflect for a 
long time how wrong their contributions in the list can be.

Re: Avoid losing files

[Hagar Delest]

For the record, an extension, in French was made some time ago, it works fine 
(just tried on xubuntu 16.10 and AOO 4.1.3):
https://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18=18566=241115#p241115

Should not be that difficult to find out how it works even for non-French users.
There are screenshots in the topic (before the post linked above).
Preferences can be accessed by Tools > Add-Ons > Prefs Sauvegarde++ 2.1
There is a toolbar that should appear once installed.

Lost a valuable info file?  You only have to lose your royal ass once to be
cured.  There's frequent backups, of course, but here's a simple way.
 Rename a file being revised by including today's date in the filename,
such as "XYZ 2016-11-25".  For multiple updates per day, add an alpha
suffix.
 Never fail to rename a file when you change it.
 The "downside" is using disk space but you can later delete older
versions.

I use an editor written twenty years ago for technical work. It automatically 
saves what you're working on every five minutes in a scratch file so if 
something goes wrong, you won't lose your changes.


You mean just like OpenOffice does? See Tools | Options... | Load/Save | 
General | Save | Save AutoRecovery Information every ... Minutes.

However, it does not prevent the loss with the pound sign.
In the dozens of cases I've seen in the forums for example, the AutoRecovery 
feature has never been of any help.
Are the temporary files deleted before the final file is actually written? That 
would be a something to think again.


Another feature it has, when a file is changed, it automatically creates a 
backup, so even if the scratch file gets corrupted, the original isn't wiped 
out.


You mean just like OpenOffice does? See Tools | Options... | Load/Save | 
General | Save | Always create a backup copy, as well as Tools | Options... | 
OpenOffice | Paths | Backups.

However, this feature is not activated by default. I can understand there is a 
rationale behind that. Maybe for confidentiality since it leaves a copy of the 
file in the user profile without the user knowing it automatically.
And again, it has never helped.


These are simple things to implement, and with millions of OO users, would save 
a lot of people a lot of grief.


They would - and they already do! You can implement things, but you cannot 
force people to learn about the software - to read the help text or the 
documentation or to experiment with settings so that they actually know the 
facilities are there.

You cannot expect users to learn software in fear that it destroys their file. 
OK, there are safety measures to be taken for general purpose (HD crash, OS 
crash, virus, ...). But the way AOO behaves in such case is quite nasty: not 
only you lose the version you've just worked on but you lose the original file 
also, thus you lose everything concerning that file.
I've never experienced this issue myself (using OOo/AOO since 2006 on a daily 
basis) but if I were to lose a file this way, I would seriously reconsider.


A feature to protect user files could be added in less time than has been spent 
chastising users for not learning how to do backups.


I'm sure implementing the facilities actually took far longer than it took you 
to complain - falsely - that they are not there, in fact. But it was done 
nevertheless. And you cannot write into an application such as OpenOffice total 
protection against user error, hardware faults, or operating system glitches.

Well, could a dev explain what is the save process? I know this is the users 
list but I've raised this problem in the past on the dev ML and nothing came 
out of it.
I think this started to occur with OOo 2.3 or something like that, I remember 
having seen such problems suddenly. It may be linked to a code change at some 
point.


You don't help others by broadcasting false information: you merely show your 
unfamiliarity with the product.

In my case, I think I can say that I know the product.
And I've to admit that this issue is really troublesome.

For the record if you want to see the list of the cases I've recorded:

Hi,

The latest version is 4.1.3. Download it only from:

Yes, it will install fine. Better remove the old one if not removed 
automatically.
You'll still be able to access your documents. No need of any kind of transfer.
If you use macros, beware, there were some changes around 4.x version if I

Hi.

I have been writing a story on Apache Open office for weeks and weeks now. I 
turned my computer off correctly and the next day I opened my story file and 
all it is is hash tags. It brought up ASCII filter options on opening. What is 
this? I need this story, its very important and there's no way I'm starting 
again. This needs to be fixed asap. Thank you.

Re: location of icons

[Hagar Delest]

In xfce (I use xubuntu), the icon chooser has a drop down list with an entry 
for graphic files (rough translation from my French interface). If selected, it 
enables the path field to navigate the HD.

As a workaround, you can create a custom desktop entry in your 
~/.local/share/applications folder. Then put the full path of the icon in the 
icon line.

Ah, thanks.
Ok, I see the icons are there;
on my system (freebsd) they are in /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor...
which is where they should be.

However, the xfce4 launcher icon chooser doesn't have a way to add an
arbitrary path to the set of icons, so I can't set it.  This is clearly
not an aoo problem, but do you happen to know where the config path for
the xfce4 icon chooser is?

Thanks

Hi all,

I just upgraded my os from fbsd-9.2 to 10.3 and installed aoo 4.1.2.
The installation appears to have gone well, but when I start up my desktop
(xfce4) the launchers with shortcuts to aoo are missing the icons.
My /usr/local/applications/openoffice-4.1.2/*.desktop files have entries
in them which look like:
Icon=openoffice4-calc

However, when I open the xfec4 panel / launcher to edit it, the icon
entry says "No Icon" and when I go to select an icon there are no aoo
icons present.

Can someone tell me which option is needed to load the icons, which port /
package they are in, and which file they are supposed to be in?  I would
have thought they were supposed to get loaded with the base aoo port.
How do the icons get located without an actual path name in the specification?

Re: Grammar check

[Hagar Delest]

In the search field, enter grammar and you'll have some matches.
The one often cited is LanguageTool: 
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/languagetool
But there may be others.

grammar checker, and it's not obvious which tool I want.

Good catch: in English the AutoCorrect for © is uppercase (C). In French, it's 
the lower case (c).

Hi. I’m Jordan Hamilton.

I have a problem with my openoffice program. I am currently teaching in china, 
so having my word processor available is extremely important, and I can’t 
necessarily get to the right website for whatever assistance that might be.

My dictionary told me to update, and I had problems getting to the right 
website, or getting the right file, for that. I’m not sure what happened 
because I’ve been busy for the last few weeks, but my dictionary shut down. It 
forgot everything! Every word is underlined, like it’s misspelled. I have 
no idea how to fix it. No support page that I have been directed to has helped. 
Uninstalling, and reinstalling hasn’t helped, and neither has the “Repair” 
program in windows. Adding dictionaries doesn’t do anything except bring up 
error messages that say that the files that are in the folder aren’t there, or 
the files I’m trying to create aren’t there. A big, frustrated “duh!” there.

I’ve always been a fan (and installer) of openoffice. I love what you do. I 
love the idea behind your approach to software. But this issue that I’ve been 
having has shown me some of the flaws in your website, and support applications.

You need a support crew, with an easily accessible email address. If it’s on 
your website, you should be able to help people fix it, instead of them having 
to go to other 3rd party programmers that we can’t necessarily contact.

Can someone please, please, please assist me in fixing my issues? And explain 
to me what might have happened, and how to stop this from happening in the 
future?
I’ve never seen this before. I’ve tried for the last half day to fix it. I’m at 
wits end.

I’d be very grateful for whatever help you can offer.

Thank you, for providing a great program for all these years. I’m sorry that I 
couldn’t fix it on my own, but this program is important in my work.

Thanks, again.

Jordan Hamilton
